The Apprecntice.

Donald Trump said a very common aspect of leadership is respect. Without respect, a leader would be very immobilised. He would not be able to do much since his follower's do not cooperate or support him. Collectively speaking, the team would be inexistent. That is the message behind the show. The leader treated this whole show as a game. Just like Survival. Not quite so of an appropriate tactic in this reality show. This show requires members to show their inner qualities. Their character. Not their survival skills. Not their navigations skills [as for Amazing Race]. Not their charms and unique personalities [ as for Bachelor]. This is because Mr. Trump fires people according to the way they handles tasks and situations in his company. Making mistakes in tasks may not jsut be reason u get out of the show. Making mistakes in the meeting room [ or what i call the judgement room - where the 3 judges regin their speech of terror and discipline to the losing team] can play a very pivotal role in getting your butt kicked out of the game.

That is why i find The Apprentice interesting. You learn something everytime from the show. Blame-shifting is a very common trait you will see in almost every reality show. This show reveals much much more than just that. The current episode reveals more of a verbal catfight between Apex team. Sad to say that ... the leader - Jen said that she wil learn to pick the right "supporter" to back her butt so that she'll not be backstabbed next time. I guess probably she is too emotional and fail to see that the reason she got kicked is because she performed her task poorly. Not that she pick her friends wrongly. Sigh wad a show.

After Apprecntice ended, i channel switch to --- Te Zie! It features 2 woman ..... and they currently showed Eunice ... erm you know the pretty lady co-hosttng Wheel of Fortune? She is like so talented! So beautiful. So independent. So un-Singapore-girls-like. haha oops. Really she's very sweet and she plays paino very very well. She is an actress. She had her own music album. She is the abassador of Youth - dunno wad organisation ... - to promote interest of youth. She studies abroad .. takes up several part-time jobs to earn her own allowance. And even insisted to play and learn piano from a restaurant overseas. She said this : " In life this isn't as easy as we could imagine. It's not like you like to do something .. [ like playing piano for her] and you will be given the opportunity and there u go. Smooth sailing. Well no! You will meet adversities and challenges that you have to overcome. It's then you will find your greater sense of fullfillment." I was like ( ' O ' ) !. She speaks alot of wisdom in a few sentences. It's quite duh ... but the thing is ... you can see it from her eyes that she has been there and done that. She did not jsut talk the talk but she walk the walk as well. Being welcome as the youngest MP in Singapore government, i can't see why the public have to criticize her. She may be young but she's a very strong-hearted, very goal-oriented lady. That is really inspiring. In life you don't usually get 2 chances to do what you have need to do and what you want to do. It's best to cherish and perservere in the task that we r made to do. Her sense of independence is really what i would like to have. I would really want to meet the upcoming challenges and finish it fast.

For out of all that life requires from me, I will know that i lead a different life from then.
