Are you confidence in yourself? I know that a lot of us, including myself, do have the talents / skills and knowledge but just do not dare to take the next steps that might the stopper to your own success.
If we do not take the next steps or overcome our lack of confident, we will be stagnant and will be living in dark forever.
Yong Kah Leong, in his late 30s and weighing in at 160kg, Leong had been battling with his weight for years. He had a personal challenge of losing weight to have a better quality of life and gain self confidence. It’s very important that we always to have self confidence so that when doing / performing a task we would not fallback and will strike the goal.
Our perception of ourselves have enormous impact on how others perceive us. Perception is reality, the more self confidence you have, the more likely it is you’ll succeed!
Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, yet so many people struggle to find it. Sadly, this can be a vicious circle, People who lack self-confidence can find it difficult to become successful.
As part of his mentoring programme, he ran the Penang Bridge International Marathon, which was held recently in Penang. Having never run in a marathon before, Leong wanted to prove to himself that it is never too late to change and do something that he never thought he could do.
When Jack Lim 林德荣 first met Leong, he was an overweight gentleman with low self esteem. His style and movements were slow and he lacked the energy to do any strenuous activities.
The three months that followed prior to the run was grueling to Leong as he underwent a series of workout sessions under a personal trainer from Fitness First. Nevertheless, he never gave up and was determined all the way.
During his free time, he and Jack also ran in the park to build up his stamina. He keep pushing himself to get fit and wants to looks good so that people will not turn away from him because of his size.
Leong was also engaged with a dietician from the Department of Nutrition & Dietetics, Ms. Lee Ching Li, who educated him on the right food to take. In fact, for three months, his food intake was constantly monitored. It’s not only keeping fit but it’s also being healthy and having a better lifestyle.
At the recent Penang Bridge International Marathon, Leong completed his first 10km run, with the support from Jack and friends. This is a kind biggest achievement for him I supposed as he able to complete the very first 10km marathon which I myself also yet to run for 10km marathon before!
Quote from Leong: I was so excited and inspired when I completed my first run, and I want to continue training and do a full marathon some day. I have learned that with determination and confidence, you can achieve anything.
He was someone who was nervous, fumbling and overly apologetic, but now it’s the total opposite!
Are you one of them like Leong? Just a small change in your lifestyle can make a difference to a healthier you. So start having a good diet and exercise more from today! Life your life better and undoubtedly!
Are you confidence in yourself? I know that a lot of us, including myself, do have the talents / skills and knowledge but just do not dare to take the next steps that might the stopper to your own success. If we do not take the next steps or overcome our lack of confident, we will be stagnant and will be living in dark forever.
That happened to me few years back where I’m really lack of confident in everything that I do. I will keep asking myself, am I doing the right thing? Will I be success in what I’m doing right now and what if I made the wrong choice and end up in a failure? We tend to care a lot on what other people comment or think of what we do will be the right choice or not, that might be another stopper if your friends or family do not support in what you are planning to do or currently doing.
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else eyes. I have actually come out with a tagline for myself to follow and it will be always my guide and now it’s my principle.
“有才华就不要被埋没。有梦想就要去追求。”
– It means, if we have the talents or skills, we must show and prove it, but not keeping it to ourselves. If we have a dream or target, we have to work hard to achieve it!

Jack advise Apple that : “Building confidence and having the “don’t give up” attitude is crucial to be successful in show business.

Determination and “never give up” attitude allowed me to overcome my initial fail attempts to achieve my dreams.” This really helps in giving encouragement to Apple and gets her started with her dream.
Jack Lim challenges Apple for an impromptu scene act at Tesco to build her confidence & acting skills. She has to reserve 3 empty parking lot and whenever people want to park on the parking lot, she has to act and tell them the space is taken and reserved. That’s quite challenging as she was not given any script but just told to think of all sort of ideas just to hold and reserved the 3 parking lot. Check out the video to know more about the test.
Jack Lim told Apple that : “In order to act well, it is important that you let yourself go. Don’t be worried about being overdramatic; it is better than not being daring. Don’t be embarrassed, shy or worry how others see you. Just do it!”
Jack Lim also advise Apple not to memorize scripts. Understand it, feel it and follow these easy tips to ace a scene:
Step 1: The instant you receive a script, imagine yourself in the scene.
Step 2: Understand what it is all about.
Step 3: Think of the director, what it is that he wants.
Step 4: Think of the other person(s) you are supposed to have a dialogue with in the scene.
Step: 5: And when you arrive at the actual shooting location, observe and see if it is the same as what you had imagined.
This is how Apple played the car park scene. You will be surprised that the actual thing is not very different from what you had imagined earlier on.
After that, Apple landing a supporting role in Ah Beng: 3 Wishes which will be in the cinemas in January 2012. She went to the Ah Beng supporting role audition and she made it! She is confident enough in the audition that made her a supporting role in Ah Beng: 3 Wishes.

Quote from Jack : “To everyone out there, if you have a personal dream that you want to achieve, go for it! Don’t let anyone or anything deter you from it. Have a dream, do a game plan to achieve it, work towards it, be confident and don’t give up if you fail numerous times.”
