First MBA group presentation…not too satisfactory

It was 80% well prepared.
It was 100% well delivered.
It was 20% well questioned and answered.
It was 0% of my performance…

Quite dissapointed. I think it can be better, if like what I thought of, emphasis on example of cases, but I have failed to convince my group member and worst is, I didn’t trust myself, and didn’t even try to fight for it. Blame no one but myself.

The most critical failure was when the professor dedicated a question to me, and I failed to answer, although with the help of my group member but it was a disaster because I eventually realized that he’s doing that because he wanted to test my understanding on the subject.
I feel terribly bad but still manage to persuade myself that it’s a good beginning, good point to start the real life learning. Never ever forget my rationale to join a MBA course, not because of the certificate but to learn.
Learn on the business, learn to communicate, learn to gain confidence!
I believe, with hard work, I can get the understanding, but without the business knowledge and the skill to present it are two major factors that will hinder me.
I can’t believe that, it’s difficult for me to listen to what most of the people say in the class…could it be that I am already partially deft?
Anyway, my mind couldn’t stop thinking of the appropriate way to answer the professor.
I just sent him an email, giving the answer that I can think is the best. At least I can sleep better after this.

I would have to say, I am sitting in a very tough class, but the good thing is I have a very positive and dedicated team. We have spend a lot of efforts and sleepless night to prepare for this presentation.
Although result are not that expected, because i really expect high, but as everyone said, ‘it’s a learning process’.
I must say, this Malay guy we have in the team is amazing. He’s such a real strategist. He turned his idea into execution. Basically the whole presentation arrangement and contents are based on his idea.
Although there are parts that I don’t agree but I think he’s a very nice person.
He knows himself bossy, but he also said that he welcomed debate, positive one, and pitching ideas through each other. I can’t help but to admire his fast thinking, persuasive skill, strategic thinking but most of all, his willingness to guide, at least to me. I can also learn how does he gain the confidence. Well, he has been a business consultant for so many years, and how am I? But I believe, with efforts and a lot of hard works, its not a problem. Ganbatte!!!!!
And I must also compliment this superb uncle for his steady presentation skill. Put in some humor although no one laugh, hahaha….a real marketing guy…
As for SCH, I think he’s been working really hard too, which he said, almost collapsed.

After all, little failure is the mother of all success. I enjoyed so much of all this experience.
No worry, we have second chance to prove again, where we determined to do better.
It should be even better, i am sure of that!

And after this, i gotta get back to focus on my job. For the past 2 weeks, my life has been upside down, I was basically a vampire when I was in the office. And my task is progressing sooooooo slow….that my manager finally came to ask for updates. I feel guilty but I promise to focus once my presentation is over.
Oh yes, not to forget, the group work for Innovation Management. I have a feeling that my group members must be cursing me for not contributing. Oh well…I am worn out, exhausted…boh lat!!!!!

My Commitments

I have thousand of things to do, and I have limited time, these are all my commitments….

But when i am mentally overloaded, looking at those scattered books on my bed, which are waiting for me to be read,

I give up and walk away to watch tv.

But remember those are my commitments, I remind myself, another 30 mins, I need to start on scheduling, and do things bit by bit. Just do as much as possible. Nothing is difficult when you put in efforts and determination.
