The Billionaire
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
Firstly, I would like to thanks Wales
and Mr Goh from SP School of Business
for inviting me to watch "The Billionaire"
which start screening on Thursday,
therefore I'm the lucky few to get to
watch it before it screen.
"The Billionaire" is the story of how
a guy by the name of "Top" (That's
what i remembered cause most people
call him by that name) who found,
Tao Kae Noi (Which means young
entrepreneur in Thai), a grilled seaweed
company. He started off selling arms
which real life cash in online games,
and he move on to try and sell electronics
but was scam. After that he move on to
F&B.
Although there are many ups and downs
in his life, he is not afraid to stand
up whenever he falls. And that got me
thinking about a speech that Steve Jobs,
the founder of Apple, said during Stanford
University College Graduation. You can
find his speech
here.
In his speech, he told the graduates
three story. The first was about
connecting the dots, second was about
love and lost, while his third was death.
On my way back home via a long bus trip,
I was reflecting on the movie, "The
Billionaire" which i just watched. I
suddenly remembered the speech that Steve
Jobs made and realize the similarity between
these two stories. Therefore, I compared
them to mind.
Connecting the dots. I started out graduating
from my secondary school with a life
long goal to create my own game studio.
Since my grades weren't that great as I
was fooling around and playing during the
exams period, therefore i couldn't get into
the Diploma in Game design and Development.
Thurs I went into the Diploma in Digital
Media instead. Although it wasn't what I
wanted but I decided to stay and trust
that it will all work out somehow. After
studying the course for three years now,
I believe it is one of the best decision
I made at that age. Instead of going for
low-polygon model, I learn how to create
both high-polygon and low-polygon models.
That's not all. I get to meet all sorts
of people from various fields. If I were
to stick to DGDD, I wouldn't have met
artiste from the marker of 3D feature films.
Therefore, looking back now when I'm in
my third year, we can't connect the dots
looking forward. You can only connect them
looking backwards. Right now, I'm trying
to push a self-funded web-series project
and I strongly believe that it will work
out somehow and we can make a name out of
it. Again, I can't connect the dots looking
forward, therefore I have to trust it in
something. Be it my guts, skill, friends,
anything. I believe that it will work out.
I believe in this approach that's can make
a difference in my life and to those around
me. Always have faith in the dots with you
lay or those you are going to lay.
Love and loss. Just like Steve Jobs, I found
what I loved to do early in life. I started
out programing my first HTML page at the age
of six and I felt in love with Infocomm
Technology. Being expose with many different
genre of games inspired me to make my own
games.
Well, I'm still considered quite young thus
I don't have much loss. But if I have to
point out a loss, I would say that I couldn't
make it into the course which I hope to get in.
But it all turn out well. I got into a course
which prove to be a even better one, all thanks
to the exposure.
In life, you tend to fall alot. But don't lose
faith. The only thing which kept me going was
that I knew what I loved and I knew what my
goal was. You got to find out what you love,
and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do
what you love to do. By doing what you love to
do, you will create great works.
If you haven't found what you love yet, keep
looking, don't settle. You will know it in
your heart when you find it.
Death. I almost drowned once during my third
year in secondary school. It was during a kayaking
session where we have to capsize our kayak and
swim out of it. My leg got stuck and I almost
gave way. That's when i realize. Accident do
happen and it might happen to you. Therefore,
if you were to live each day as if it was your
last, one day you will be correct.
Remembering that you will die someday will
give you the hidden sense to hear what your
heart has to tell you. As everything that
create you, your pride, your anger, your
everything, is nothing when you face death.
leaving only those things truly important to you.
"Remembering that you are going to die is the
best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking
you have something to lose. You are already naked.
There is no reason not to follow your heart."
Our lives are short. Which makes even more
sense that we should live a life of our
own and not by the expectation of others.
Follow your heart. It will lead the way
for you.
Before he end his speech, he wish the graduates
to Stay hungry, Stay Foolish. I would like to
wish the same to you. Stay hungry, Stay Foolish.
The thirst for knowledge and the flare to not
give up will someday bring you to greatness.
Once again, Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.

May everyday is a Sunny day!~
