Another blue ribbon awarded to a deserving speaker. A speaker who knows the rules to success. Let's put our hands together for Puah Kia Yong with his speech, Rules for success in life...

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Can I have a show of hand who does not want to be success in their live? No one raise their hand I think all of us will like to be success in our life in all the different areas because of that I need a little bit of help over here.

Can you all, pls rise one hand like me imaging you are holding a cup, then bend your head to the hand and the other hand hit softly at ear? Once it fills with all your thought, pls throw it away. I need you all to have an empty cup mindset or a mindset of a child to listen to my speech to bring some of my thought back to consider with you.

As define from Oxford dictionary the success
1. Accomplishment of an aim or purpose.
2. The attainment of fame, wealth, or social status.

Base on Stephen Downes, a senior research officer with the National Research Council of Canada Top Ten Rules to be successful were:-
1. How to Learn
2. How to predict consequences
3. How to communicate clearly
4. How to distinguish truth from fiction
5. How to read
6. How to empathize
7. How to be creative
8. How to stay healthy
9. How to value yourself
10. How to live meaningfully

Base on Puah Kia Yong, member of ING Leadership Toastmaster rules to be successful need 3 main rules that will be WPC. Willingness, Potential and Communication.


Willingness
To explain further for the rules I will share a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Rules number to be success you must be willing to thing. In short just do it.

Potential
Potential is an importance rule to determine your success. WHY? Let me show you how importance and powerful this word will be. In the older day movie a hero facing a group of his enemy in the circle and laugh loudly, and he said to the enemy If I shown my potential to you all then you all will know. Then he laughed loudly again and said if I shown my potential to you all then you all will know. At the end the other good guys arrived and defeat all the enemies.

By using the word itself, he managed to defeat the enemies. What can be the potential? The potential maybe be he has was a great fighter, great defender and can be a great lairer too.

Communicate
There was once a 4 different insect that gathers to an ant house to play majong. The 4 insect is ant, dragonfly, spider and Millipede. While they are playing, the spider would like to have some bir. So the ant ran out quickly go to the kitchen to get some bir out within second he comes back some bottle of birs. Then the millipede said how we could have bir without some snacks. The ant said I when just now it should be someone else turn. The spider volunteers to go to this round. However, the ant told his friend “My mum doesn’t like the kitchen floor to be dirty so pls be careful when to take food from there. Within minutes, the spider comes back with some snacks. The round the ant complained we need some cup for the bir so this time dragonfly volunteer to take it. Within minutes, it came back. Now dragonfly said we do not have the opener for the bir. So for sure this round should be the millipede turn. 1 hour has passed yet their friend is not back they start to worry whether their friend had an incident or not. They rush to the kitchen, saw the millipede, and the ant almost fainted.
In proper communication may give you the result that you want but with a price that you need to paid. Communication is not just get the message across but also with the right expectation.

To sum up the 3 rules to success will be
Rule 1. A success people willing to do 3 important things. They will do :-
1. Do some thing people don’t dare to do.
2. Do some thing people don’t want to do.
3. Do some thing people don’t know how to do.

Rule2. Success people have to know What is their potential and further improve it, their weak potential that need more attention and lastly how to used the potential to their own advantages.

Rule3. Communication is the most importance rules for successful. With the right communication, you will gain the right result. With the competent communication, you will be competent to be successful in your live.
