Self Examination

5 | positive
1|honest
2|adaptable
3|cooperative
4|hard working
5|skill

5|negative
1|apathetic
2|uncertain
3|shy
4|complacent

Overall the words that I chose are quite accurate as a team member. A member always have good and bad traits and that's why as team members everyone complements each other to make the team more stable. I think that's true, but for me I personally don't like being the leader, since I feel like it's such a big responsibility it makes my heart sink. I prefer to take orders and hear others, I know myself that I'm not open minded, but I'm only open to people I trust the most. I can work with other people as long I get to know them well enough.

My biggest influence is probably my dad. A great man with talents, even at his 50's going 60's he's always doing trial and error on many things, never ending knowledge. I learn from him most of the times for advices.

Moi Manifesto

number 1: man's best friend
If you have a pet, a dog, cat, hamster, or even a pet rock. Take them for a walk to get a fresh of breathe air.

number 2: clean, clean, clean
Always clean once a week.

number 3: eat
Don't mind the calories, you only got one life.

number 4: control the anger
Don't get angry over something stupid, smile and poke fun about it, because the other person isn't worth being angry over.

number 5: doodle
If you're bored, draw.

number 6: cook
Cook some food for yourself, instead of taking out. I don't trust other restaurants that often other than my own, because of people's stories of maggots and cockroaches, it scar me for life. Other than that... Come and visit my family restaurant at Tartan Fish and Chips in Oakville, 579 Kerr St. (we're also looking for full-time employees, if interested, bring a resume|bilingual Mandarin/Cantonese and English)

number 7: music
Listen to a whole variety of songs, from all over the world.

number 8: old times
Look back at your younger years and learn from it.

number 9: make mistakes
Learn from your mistakes, but don't make a dozen of mistakes.

number 10: DO NOT LITTER
If you find litter on the floor, why not pick it up and throw it to a nearby garbage. [You're doing something good for mother nature]
