the truth on life jacket

what is the purpose of a life jacket when you are on the plane?

i had a motivational talk today held by SK and part of it, he shared the story on the life jacket.

He worked as an aircraft crew before. the job was sort of to deliver old aircrafts to Tawau, i dont really know what the job exactly is but anyway...once, when he was assigned to deliver the aircraft, he found that there were only 3 life jackets on a plane of 8 people. He asked the pilot why they were only 3 life jackets.

the pilot asked him back "What is the purpose pf a life jacket?"
at that point, he answered "as a safety when the plan crashes".
pilot : crashes on what?
SK : crashes on the ocean.

pilot : then 3 life jackets (LJ) are enough for the 8 of us. 1 LJ will be shared between me and the co-pilot, and the other 2 will be shared between the remaining 6. we will hold the life jacket until we reach at the bottom of the sea and and release the life jacket. eventually, the life jacket will float and the rescuers will easily know where our remains are and so they can inform our family.that is how the life jacket works.

hahahahahahaha...scary but hillarious isnt it.

i was really enjoying the talk. here are some input of what i gained today :

1. SK = Shamsuddin Kadir
when you are nobody, your name will be longer. but when you are somebody, your name will be shorter, its enough.

2. GARUDA = Good And Reliable Until Delay Announced.
MAS = Mana Ada Sistem.

but what really motivated me was :

1. if we want to succeed, we have to do something that we are not comfortable to do of. its true. we have to overcome our fear.

2. aim to be the PRIME MINISTER. if we dont get to touch the sky, at least we get to touch the clouds.

3. know your potential. ask your friends. they can see what you are good at.

4. think outside the box.
"there was this one student. he cannot make the balance sheet balanced of $3. at the end of the exam, he took out $3 and said "take the $3 and that will balance it".

5. what u read is what you are. avoid to read books or mag that will bring negative effect on you.

6. JANGAN MAKAN GAJI.

i AM very inspired an motivated. he ended the talk with the song Gemuruh by Faizal Tahir. dah lah i am a fan of Faizal Tahir and the song pun mmg memberi smgt, bertambah berkobar2 semangat di dada as i walked out from the class. :P
