Interesting Sharing #10

The CC+J Adhaus has been busy with work but nonetheless, we never forget our roots & culture so despite all the work, we managed to have our Interesting Sharing #10 and here's the update on it 3 months later. :)

But before the winners are announced, we have something exciting to share with everyone. For the first time ever in the history of Interesting Sharing at CC+J Adhaus, we have a total of 10 people competing in this round! And this is during the 10th round of the CC+J Adhaus's Interesting Sharing League! 10 during the 10th! Cool Beans!

Anyways, lets get back to the main focus of this post.. So ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Interesting Sharing #10 is none other than..

Cent, Henry and Mok!!

For the first time ever in CC+J Adhaus's Interesting Sharing, we have a tie with not just 2 people but 3! (Lots of Firsts in this round of Interesting Sharing, huh?) Everyone is stepping up their game to the next level and the expectations for next Interesting Sharing have now been raised.

Let's start with Cent's winning entry:

First, Cent had everyone write down on a piece of paper 1 good quality that we think only they have for everyone in the company. Cent proceeded to tell us that he believes that everyone that you meet in life has a lesson to teach you, be it a character, a habit or anything that you may learn from that person which is a lesson he's learnt from Buddhism. In this case, all of us, have a good quality that other have that we want have as well and to learn from the others.

Deep stuff isn't it?

Next is Henry's winning entry:

Henry believes that everyone has a hero in their lives, be it a hero in the profession you are/ want to work in or in life. And every hero in your life, has something inspiring for you to learn. For Henry, he has quite a few hero in his life but for this round he wants to emphasise on one of his life hero: Gordon Ramsay. Gordon Ramsay as everyone knows, is as straight a person as one can get. Vulgarities are not off limits when it come to his comments but that's not the main point of this topic. It was how he persevered through all the hardship of his life till his current successful status and being true to himself that inspired Henry. The one life lesson Henry learnt from Gordon Ramsay is that every step or action you make will affect your result or future so always think before you act and be true to yourself.

More deep stuff...

Last but not least, Mok's winning entry:


Mok started with giving everyone a piece of A4 paper then he challenged everyone to find a way get their whole body through that piece of paper. One by one, all of us attempted and failed. Mok then proceeded to show us how it's done. The trick to it is in how you tear the paper. Here's a video to give you a more in depth idea on how it's done.

Here's a picture of Mok going through his paper. Cool isn't it? After showing us how it's done, Mok then proceeded to tell us the lesson he learnt behind this.

In life, sometimes we will encounter a situation where we are given little resources and are expected to deliver the ultimate result. But we should never underestimate what we have. No matter how small the resources are, we can maximize them with some hard work, determination and creativity. "Do whatever you can, with whatever you have, wherever you are."

Wow.. So much to learn just from 1 round of Interesting Sharing...

Chin Yong shared about a Children's Book called "Enter the World of Secrets".

Hehe, i have to admit this interesting sharing week is very "interesting"? yet educational at the same time. It's just getting better and better and I do believe this interesting sharing week can only be found in CC+J - your very own trademark for a creative culture.

Congratulations Joescher and Chee Chiaw! You've taken care of your baby well and it's turning into a fine looking agency. I hope to run into you anytime soon. :)

Sincerely
Rae
