I don't see much of Z since she started interning.We meet at breakfast and dinner je. She's busy meeting companies to sell her startup project with Amir.Mcm2 cerita.Today it was her meeting one of the accomplished corporate figures who went to Cambridge to do his PhD cos' that was the point of entry to be employed by giant companies of his field.He got the job..working with firms which built the Opera House in Sydney, another that built high-rising buildings in London, taught for a while at Cambridge,was offered a tenured job there but he wanted to return home cos' his parents makin tua and also he wanted to share his experience and knowledge and help build the nation.
Isn't that sssssweeeetttt? And he was pleased to share his stories with Z.Bagus betul dia ni.Patrioticnya.Z said it must be easy for you to work here with all those experiences.
He said no, it is more difficult cos' he had to adjust to so many things especially dealing with the attitude of people he worked with.Recently his dad (also an engineer in a city upnorth) won a bid to build the highest building in their city.His competitors tried to snub him: but you never worked here, right? (dismissing his overseas experiences as a builder).The tallest building his competitor ever built was a 7-storey building.For him, if he could build 7, he could build 23-storey building. Walhal, the structure requirements semua berubah as you build higher and higher.
I thought kelakar tu.He said his brother from London was also joining him cos' he didn't want to suffer alone. :))
Lesson to be learnt: not all successful people are into themselves.This guy (at the height of his career and life) came back to care for his parents and contribute to the nation.He does not need to return home, kan? So heart warming to hear this story in August!
