I attended the AIESEC meeting the other day. The focus of the day was personal branding.
We were divided into groups. Briefly, we were introduced to one another. After that, we each wrote down our first impressions of one another.
The general first impressions they had of me was: confident, problem-solver, tough, smart and cool (just because of my nose ring, means no nose ring, not cool lah?)
Moo-Moo
See the resemblance ?The thing is, those preconceived notions of me are completely untrue. (except that I'm exceptionally smart lah) I'm not confident, not a problem solver, not tough (I cry rather easily actually), not smart and definitely not cool.
How looks can be deceiving right? So don't judge a book by its cover.
Today, a friend of mine asked me about an assignment. She was left in utter disbelieve when I told her that I've only just started my assignment. In fact, I suspect she thinks that I'm actually being a fish monger. But the truth is, I am NOT LYING.
It is rather uplifting to know that she finds it almost impossible to believe that I'm lazy, yet extremely upsetting to realize that the laziness and procrastination attitude within me remain the same.
I hope that one day the impression I leave could match the person I truly am.
On another note, I was inspired deeply when I saw you dance during the meeting.
You could dance so whole-heartedly, without any worries of being ridiculed.
Just enjoy the moment, be simple, don't think.
