"You're Fired!!!" --- N He is Back!!!

"You're fired!!!" -- Do you find this term familiar or unfamiliar?

This term is commonly used by ... ...


Yes, is Him!


Who else but Him!


Nobody else except Him!


He is no other than ... ...


Mr Donald Trump himself!!

And ... ...

The reality show "The Apprentice" is BACK by POPULAR Demand!

For those of you who never watch any single episodes of this reality show before, let me give you an update of what this show is about.

This is actually a competition where a group of men and women will form two teams. Every week, Mr Donald Trump will give the two teams a project assigned by top big corporation's and MNCs and they need to do a good job within the tight deadlines. As all these top big corporations are well known internationally, definitely they will have very, very high expectations from the two teams and if the winning team's work is good, they may used the team's work and launch it commercially. So we can imagine the amount of stress that the two teams are facing every week.

The winning team will get a reward arranged by Mr Donald Trump such as having dinner in a high class prestigious restaurants, having a casual discussion with famous personalities, or having a helicopter ride, etc.

The losing team will go to the boardroom where they are supposed to convince Mr Donald Trump why they should stay in the game and why their team mate should be fired. From the "fire-fighting" going in among the team members, Mr Donald Trump will decide who should be fired and then he will do his classic move -- with his pointing finger, he will point to that particular team mate and tell the person, "you're fired!"

Sometimes, the show actually reaches its climax when Mr Donald Trump suddenly fired more than one team mates.

So this will continue every week until there is only two contestants left in the show. Mr Donald Trump then assigns a project to each of them that is organized by the Trump Organization. Mr Donald Trump will also assign a team of people to these two contestants and usually this team of people were those who were fired in previous episodes. When the projects were completed, the two contestants will go back to the boardroom where they will convinced Mr Donald Trump to choose them as The Apprentice. The winner who is given the title will be in charge a major project by the Trump Organization and all projects under Trump Organization are major scales and worth millions of dollars. Imagine the prestige and status when one won the title of the Apprentice.

What is so attractive about this show that entice me to try my best to watch it every week when I am not working?

Beside the word of wisdom that Mr Donald Trump will advise every week that is related to the projects that the teams are working on, what is most important is when you observe how each team member behaves.

Through each member's behavior, one can actually find a streak of similarity in your working colleagues, your boss and yourself. And through observation, one can learn from others by studying what are the rights and wrongs that they did that led to the success or failure of the project.

From there, you will get to understand what should one do and how should one behave in order to encourage team cohesiveness and encourage the team to strive hard for the common goal of the company.

One can understand different people's personalities as well and aware what should one do when one needs to work with a team mate with such personality.
Though it is just a simple competition, there are a lot of knowledge that can be gained when you think more deeply and be more observant when the game is on.



SO REMEMBER, FROM 15TH OCTOBER, EVERY SUNDAY, 10.30PM, THE APPRENTICE.
DON'T MISS IT. IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE MISSED!


PS: Mr Donald Trump has formed an online university named the Trump University. You can surf the website to find out more about the courses and also signed up for the newsletter where there will be newsletter email to you periodically and from there, you can learn more and widen your perspective about many aspects of business and others too.

You will realized what characteristics a leader should have since the winner is supposed to lead a team of people to complete the project under Trump Organization.

Through oberving Mr Donald Trump, you will get to learn what characteristics he has that led to his success today. His success has never been easy and a lot of time and effort and many other factors led to his success and of cos, his characteristics play a part as well.

Good for you to know what the corporate world is about and for you to decide if you want to climb the corporate ladder in the corporate world and what characteristics you should have in order to succeed.

Singapore is no longer the key point to look at when it comes to having a job. Now the trend is international job with possible chances to go overseas to work.

Good for you to open your eyes and see how others behave in other countries
