Meeting Fail

Long post is long, read this when you are free.

Todays meeting proceeded as planned. However, I was kinda disappointed by the kind of response received from Mr.Fail. (To protect his reputation his name has to be censored)

Somehow Mr.Fail managed to obtain one of my draft for the events during MMU Apprentice.
I am really surprised how 'well' he got the message out of the draft.
The draft was a brief idea, not even a proposal. Yet Mr.Fail insist that the events doesn't make sense. Out of 7 or 8 events he kept focusing on one easy to understand task and insist the tasks I propose are stupid.

To make things worst, I expect someone from that level to have a good choice of words.
He can't stop using the word 'rubbish' during meeting. I wonder if he is really rubbish or has limited vocab.

To summarize his mistakes that crosses me, Mr.Fail :

1. Say board game sucks and can't learn stuff from playing it, since it is a controlled environment experiment.
Some people just aren't smart enough to learn by playing games, that is why a debrief is needed after each board game. Just in case someone as 'smart' as Mr.Fail can't learn anything from a board game, even if it is Monopoly.
To make him sound more 'smart', the entrepreneurship club IS going to organize board game competitions, if he feels board games are an inferior way of learning something, why agree with that activity? Maybe he knows that we students can accomplish what he can't, finding a way to learn something from board game.

2. Say my event proposal sucks, because is controlled environment
Well, his idea world economy simulation during a camp isn't a controlled environment? I am confused. And he insisted that all the events are controlled environment. Read the fine print Mr.Fail, read my notes!

3. Says the richest people (someone like Donald Trump) in Malaysia which earns RM100,000 a month are from pyramid scheme. Really, where has he been all these years? I can forgive the person who say this if he/she is a Alpha Small Kid. But a club adviser?! Give me a break.

4. Bloggers who use blogs to market/sell their stuff are losers and annoying people. Cyberprenuership is about internet business isn't it? How could someone who is supposed to promote entrepreneurship in the internet accuse people selling stuff online? I wonder if this guy deserves to be the club advisor.

5. Mr. Fail claims that Windows Movie Maker is lousy. Well, a bad worker always blame their tools. Besides, either he doesn't have a clue what we are going to do, or he is ignorant of the potential of Windows Movie Maker. Either way, it really show that Mr.Fail has little substances. I have been using Windows Movie Maker since high school and even for my final year project. It got me an "A", so I suppose it works well. Why need a machine gun to kill a mosquito?

In short, I have many doubts about him.
1. Have he ever watched The Apprentice? I feel he doesn't get the idea of The Apprentice. The Apprentice is about proving yourself that no matter what task is given to you, you are able to perform regardless of your background. He wanted to limit the tasks so that they are relevant to the sponsors. I am sure the sponsors will laugh of loud upon listening to him.

2. Does he understand the purpose of entrepreneurship is being your own boss? He is so focused on getting the contest winner to work for someone reputable, for a club which promotes entrepreneurship. Perhaps he should start another club "Job Club" and be the club adviser. Entrepreneurship club needs someone with entrepreneur mindset to lead them. (like me? haha)

3. Likes to dig his own grave, or what the Chinese call "stuffing into a cow's horn". Why can't he be open minded and be flexible?

4. Really when he mention that he failed 2 business ventures I am not that surprised now. It is worth noting that he did mention that the business failed due to problems among members. I am not surprised, I have yet to join forces with him and already I am annoyed!
Moral of the story: Get a winner and entrepreneur for a club which focus on entrepreneurship. Period.

Wow, its been a while since I have written anything that lengthy in 20 minutes. Reminds me of the good old days where we have exams. Ya, I like exams, didn't I tell you that before?

Thank you for spending your time reading this!
