The internet is widely use by people in the whole wide world. Surfing the internet seems to be everyone’s staple activity in their daily life. One of the dangerous things that have been discovered is that most of the users that are mostly teenagers seem to ignore the cyber responsibilities when they are involve in it. The government emphasised and focus more on the teenagers as they are more vulnerable and influenced when it comes to something new that really interest them.
The teenagers have to be careful also about engaging new friends or meet strangers from the internet as they might be a lot of people out there that are trying to con or prey on the teenagers so that they can do anything they want to the victims who might have already fall in their traps unknowingly....
Many teenagers of today fall prey to the cyber predators so easily because of their curiosity and lack of awareness of the dangers the internet have. There have been many cases whereby the teenagers had been warned of what could happen to them if they leaked private information of themselves, only to have the advice fall on deaf ears and they still become victims. To prevent this from ever happening to anyone a set of core values must be instilled onto children, as to teach them of the responsibilities that they must have when surfing the net at a young age so that by the time they become teenagers these values have been drilled into their brains.
Through the internet the teenagers can also freely get porn videos as evidence to what happen in Indonesia and
• People can easily get porn stuff inside the internet
• Download songs and movies illegally, etc.

Reflection
I had started off blogging on current affairs reluctantly. Though I have had a similar experience during my secondary school years, I have to admit that I never enjoyed blogging on the specific topics provided. It is different to blog on given topics as compared to blogging personally. There are restrictions to follow, such as the language used as well as the formalities. It might seem easy as it is not a new experience for me, however, I do realise that I find much more difficulties to blog this time round as I expect myself to give insights which are much more matured and sensible.
Frankly speaking, just to blog on certain topics, I took so long to generate my thoughts and ideas. At the same time, trying to avoid what has already been covered in the articles provided. As the weeks passed, this blogging task became my weekly routine, but I have to admit that I still procrastinated.
As I am not an avid reader of the newspapers, I barely know the updates on the world. Having to blog every week, I am forced to read the articles and give my insights on them. The entire blogging experience has certainly made me more knowledgeable on what has been happening around me for the past few weeks. This is obviously a very good opportunity for me to express my feelings, opinions and thoughts on the particular topic. It has made me think deeper and at a more matured level. So, thank you to Mr Pang for the experience! And, sorry if some of my blog posts had exceeded the time limit slightly.

Emotional Intelligence
After reading the articles, I got a better definition and picture of what Emotional Intelligence really means. Basically, Emotional Intelligence is a package of soft skills that includes self-awareness, an understanding of the effect of your mood and behaviour on others, impulse control, stress management, initiative, discipline, time management, a positive mindset and leadership. But, most importantly, is empathy.
Empathy refers to the ability to understand and put yourself in others’ shoes, which will eventually allow one to build good ties with his/her fellow colleagues or subordinates. Not only that, it would also allow improve communication and interaction between the two parties thus, minimising misunderstandings. With better communication and lesser misunderstandings, productivity at workplace would increase. Hence, an employee with a high EQ is an asset to the company.
As more employers are searching for this one criteria in their future employee, one has to ensure that they are ready to be quizzed on their EQ when they go for job interviews. Fresh graduates have no excuse though they have just graduated. As said in the article “’Emotional Intelligence’ a new hiring criterion”, emotional intelligence can be displayed when one describes how he/she has managed events, met deadlines and trained a group of people.
I feel that the Internet has actually made it easier for people who want to show off that they do have emotional intelligence, as EQ tips can be found easily on the Internet. This would certainly help those who are attending interviews or sending in their resumes as it would give them a good first impression.
Therefore, I do agree that it is very important for one to be equipped with Emotional Intelligence in order to have a fulfilling career, no matter what the job is.

World Cup 2010 Fever
The World Cup, a football event that takes place only once in every four years also means the kick start of the event whereby employees start to make up various excuses to skip work. Employees from all over the world will start to make excuses no matter how farfetched it is just to view the world cup to see the action or see the outcome of the match. The reasons can range from headaches, tummy ache, vomiting, and food poisoning to even faking the death of someone close to them just so they could get time off from work. Some of them would even quit their jobs if they had tickets to the world cup but not allowed leave.
It is a surprise though that quite a number of the bosses are forgiving enough to grant leave for their employees even if it may affect the company productivity. The bosses of the companies are also forgiving and less strict when their employees are less enthusiastic or late for work. In fact there are bosses who think that this is a good time to bond and forge a good working relationship between the employee and employer in the future as they share a common interest. While doing this, the bosses should also enforce that the employees should know their limits and their work commitments. Of course there are other company heads that do not support this and are strict about employees coming to work late, albeit they themselves do it also.
Sometimes it is not always the employees who watched the football match that will obviously affect their work productivity but to those filial employees that did not watch also will be affected because of those people who have watched the world cup match near their houses would watch it until in the wee hours and including the noises and nuisance that their did as well. That’s why sometime the bosses will not blame and try to be understanding as some of the employees might not watch the football match because for the basic reason that they don’t like to watch it but it’s because of those people who had watched it and that had disturb the peace at night; that is for sleeping time.

Reflection
Woo oh yeah! It is going to be my last blogging for this coursework! I wonder how I can say in my reality feeling. All I can feel is the pleasant and relieved feeling when typing this blog now. It really feels different from typing the last blogging. The Feeling! When you won a first place in competition, it is the same feeling I used to feel before. A sense of accomplishment I guess. You have never known how much hardship and feeling I have endured blogging the last 10 weeks. In blogging, I was able to type what i wanted to say in the views of these topics. Although I hate to say it that it was quite tiring, it has been a fulfilling experience for me at least.
Allow me to say my favourite blog topics I had taken interest in.
Be Veg! Go Green! Save our Earth
It was that topic which gave me much emotion. By coincidence, I was given the articles from Mr Pang, which said about the Ocean Fish and Year of Biodiversity. At that time, I felt so urged to post the blog beyond these articles. I wanted to take this chance to talk about it and the facts that Earth is currently undergoing a climax situation where sea level is increasing due to the Carbon Dioxide emission. As it was said that it was due to Livestock industry, it was the main cause of carbon dioxide emission. I really hoped that people would know of the situation and start to change the lifestyle by going Green, in the hope of saving Earth. http://www.suprememaster.tv/save-our-planet/?wr_id=1183&page=2
Emotional Intelligence
It was very interesting topic that I did not even know at first glance. Beside IQ, EQ appeared surprisingly towards me. You may not know that I really have high EQ. Being a hearing impaired, I cannot hear quite clear but I use my very important sight to observe others. It helps in my academic school works and communication. By observing the slightest clue, I really can understand how my friends are feeling and help them. Once, I was said to be a gentleman for understanding their emotions, especially girls. During my age of 14-17 in Secondary School, I had gone through a period of time, learning that being calm enables me to make the right decision. I was able to fully understand it after observing some of my friends whom hot tempers landed them in trouble – gangs fight. After gaining a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence, I am glad to know that my EQ will be of useful in future business, work and relationship. From then on, I will be looking forward to using my EQ with my sight.
Well, I want to say thanks to Mr Pang for this valuable knowledge that you have given me.
All these blogging really gave me much happiness and saddness for the past weeks. I am starting to view the world in a new place where I am going to expand my general knowledge.
It did make me more mature though I was already mature in Secondary School times.
The World Is Indeed Vast! Once Again, Thanks! Here is to my first causal blogging. :)

Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence describes the ability or skill to identify, assess, manage and control the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups. It is about how well you understand other people that will get you ahead.
In our modern world, EQ becomes an important attribute in our life. Employers now do not mainly look out for people with skills. It all depends on yourself and your ability in understanding how your mood and behavior affect others; including the ability to motivate and lead others.
In business we have to deal with pressure and conflicts constantly. For example, if a manager faces a heavy pressure with his low level of EQ, he is bound to get easily angry and take improper decisions. So in order to deal with the pressure, one has to look inside oneself and understand the different opinions that your team is sharing and what their emotions are. Only then when you understand these, you will be able to do well in business management. By going along the right flow, you can make the right decision without falling in to conflict.
Relationships are also one of the ways we interact every day. We need to relate with everyone for business, work, family, love, friends and anything else. The people that have high emotional intelligence are the ones that have better personal relationships and can get the most out of them.
In relationships, you should not keep your feelings in yourself, but in other, ask him how he feels, what his interest are and how you can help him solve it. Even if you disagree with him, let him know that you understand him and that you just want to talk and get the most for both of us. By going through the processes, your relationship with him or her will develop a strong and deep bond with each other in relationship. It shows that you have a high EQ in handling with relationship.
EQ can be developed by oneself and everyone has his or her EQ. It is common knowledge that people are born with talents and thus they become successful but it is wrong as most people that are successful are in fact not gifted and do not even have high intelligence. People who are successful in most areas of their life, have the ability to understand their own emotions and influenced, inspire and understand the emotions of others. In short, everyone can be successful if they truly understand themselves and others’ emotion. Only then it will bring you to greater height.
Emotional Intelligence can be practised on daily life and can be used in wide variety of areas. If you can learn to perceive other people’s emotions and understand your emotions and the importance of emotional intelligence, you will achieve a good result in your life as long as you have EQ to spur you ahead.

Reflection
Over the past weeks, I have been blogging about various topics as an assignment.
At first, I was reluctant to blog. Especially when the topic that was assigned is not the one that is of my interest. However, as it gets routine, I feel fortunate being able to blog. I have never blogged in my entire life; making this assignment an onset of my blogging appreciation.
The article that has captured my attention is the article about the ocean wildlife disappearing in 40 years. I personally love wildlife and to read about life in the ocean is depleting, it hurts me so much. I understand that people depend on the catches in the ocean; but over-fishing is totally different. Furthermore, when irresponsible fisherman or anglers throw their unwanted equipment such as net in the ocean, it kills wildlife.
Well, this is probably the last time that I am posting on this blog. I must say that I am somehow a bit sad typing this, maybe because it is the last time I am doing it. However, I have learnt something.
Things in life are like shooting an arrow. A good bow will help you get a firm grip when you nock an arrow. But when the arrow is already propelled, you must not get in the way of the arrow that has been positioned to hit the target; or else the arrow may lose its way.
In life, you can put the best foundation. For example, one can pull the weightage of a subject so that students can focus on other subjects or an employee can be flexible so that the workers get to watch world cup. But one would not know whether it hits the bull’s-eye. We aim for the goal, but not sure whether the effort put on would hit the target; until we wait and see where the arrow hits. In my opinion, through experience and practice is the only way to hit the target.
In conclusion, I wish to thank my teacher, Mr Pang for allowing me to complete this assignment and expanding my general knowledge. And thank you for those who have read my posts.
