On a Brighter Note - Book Update

It's been just over a year, and I'm glad to say that, despite the numerous delays (and lazy days), I've written over 85% of my content. Now, it's mainly a matter of reorganising everything properly, editing, and then making the points stand out.

I intend for the book to be ready for printing before Christmas. If I hurry, I may even be able to give it out as Christmas gifts! :)

The Dawn of September 2015

September 2015 is finally here.

That is not an expression of fulfilled anticipation.

Much has been said about this month this year, and many have speculated that this will be a month of crises - financially (China's yuan, Malaysia's ringgit, US dollar) , politically (America, Israel, Iran, North Korea, Singapore, China), and socially (Thailand's recent bombing).

It is not my inclination to be a doomsayer, though I have to admit that the future doesn't look too bright to me. I sincerely hope that this is just a pessimistic streak and that nothing major will happen.

Here's hoping!

Article Submission to a Canadian Online Magazine

As the title states, I recently had the opportunity to submit an article to a Canadian-based online magazine run by the Canadian Institute of Management (CIM).

My article was titled "Leading as an Introvert", in accordance to their theme of leadership. Hopefully, they will accept the article and this will be my first published article for an online magazine.

Here's to good news!

Feedback (from The Introvert Teacher)

As teachers, one of our roles is to provide feedback to our learners so they know where they can improve. We may do this through test scores, examination results or pep talks. 

We constantly remind our learners to improve themselves and their abilities so we need to practise what we preach.

In order to improve ourselves, we need not only the desire to do so, but to get feedback from the right people for the right reasons.
