Dato Seri Tew Kim Thin

Maybe you will think that being a Dato or something is quite common in Malaysia, but many of them are deserve no less to be respected. Dato Seri Tew is my school's 'Bapa Angkat'(godfather). He is the owner of the Zenith Group, a millionaire (maybe a billionaire). Yet, he was also a Banting guy, speaks hokkien, cute character, humble and generous man. He drop out during standard 5 and worked as a waiter in a old style 'kopitiam'. He was also then a foreman in a workshop, a contrator and finally became a successful entrepreneur. According to him, he learnt everything from zero, without any foundation in those field and discovered everything by self excavation.

In the 3-days-2-nights PRS camp, I didn't actually learn something from those movies.. It's just a game of discovering the moral values in the movie. =P As a matter of fact, the best part of the camp that impress me is the Q&A session with Dato Tew. We had gained a lot in the sharing session. Let me share my acquisition with you.

1. FOCUS. The main principle of Dato is focus. He keep emphasizing the importance of focus in your own path.

2. Be courageous. Dare to ask, dare to fail.

3. Always learn things from the others by observing. Ask if you don't know or don't understand. Jot down the thing you have acquire.

4.Quality is more significant than quantity.

5. Don't think what you can get, think what you should do to increase the posibility to achieve. " You ingin mau, itu akan hilang; You tak ingin mau, itu akan datang" =D
6. Image is vital.  It shows your everything to a stranger. Always bear in mind that etiquette is the main part of image.  Don't ever underestimate the significance of etiquette because image also make known of your reverence towards others.

7. Humble is the key to convince others. Play dumb at the suitable time and do not be arrogant on what you know. No one will be willing to give advise or enlightenment to conceited person.

8. See through everything clearly so that you wouldn't get stuck in the wrong thing. Understand a situation will lead to confidence.

I hope these will inspire you~~~~~~~~~~
