Beauty with Brain...
Huhu...again, while surfing on the net, I remember a speech that I've prepared during my study at UiTM. My speech entitled " Beauty with Brain" was awarded as the best presentation by my lecturer and selected as example to my other friends... Well dear, let me share with you guys...
.......................................................................................................................................................................
Introduction
I. Imagine you attend an interview to become a diplomat officer for the NAM conference. The interviewer asks, “What is NAM?” and you simply answer, “It is the Non- Aligned Movement”. Full stop. Again the interviewer ask, “Yes, but what is Non- Aligned Movement?”. You startled and completely have known idea. Then the interviewer said, “Alright then, actually we want someone who beauty with brains”.
II. This is a true story of a friend of mine. She is a beautiful young lady. At that time she said that she felt embarrassed and realized that she has to be both beauty and brainy. Yet, she still got that position.
III. We tend to infer that beautiful people also tend to be smart people or vice versa as said by two sociologists Satoshi Kanagawa and Jody L. Kovar from London School of Economics.
IV. Today I would like to inform you about the Grand Unification theory of beauty with brains, woman versus man in term of intelligence and good-looks and Malaysia’s beauty with brains.
Let’s begin with the Grand Unification theory of beauty with brains.
I. The Grand Unification theory of beauty with brains flows from four assumptions that guided Satoshi Kanagawa and Jody L. Kovar as they examined data collected in dozens of scientific studies conducted over the past three decades around the world, which means their findings to apply more or less universally. Beauty may be in the eye of beholder, but researchers that there is remarkable agreement in many cultures about what beholders find appealing.
A. The first two assumptions posit that intelligence and beauty are inheritable. Those are genetics “gimmes”, that there are a lot of data showing that the kids of smart people are likely to be smart, just as the offspring of attractive people tend to be lookers, too.
B. The next assumption is that more intelligent men are more likely to attain higher social and economic status than less intelligent men. That’s seems undeniable, and there are a lot of supporting evidence that it is true.
1. For example, the study of Korea vets found that the 20 percent with the highest IQs earned twice as much as those in the bottom 20 percent and were far more likely to be engineers, doctors and teachers than to toil in a lower-wage blue-collar job.
C. Then Kanagawa and Kovar tackle the key assumption that beautiful women are more likely to marry men with higher status. Again, that seems obvious, but it also empirically true.
1. One longitudinal study of people in Oakland, California, found that attractiveness among women was the "strongest determinant of their husband's occupational status."
We already understand the theory of beauty with brains. Now let’s move on to the differences of women and men in term of intelligence and good-looks and vice versa.
II. What about smart women versus attractive men?
A. Brains are plus for a beautiful women, but they are not the main attraction, just as being handsome is a bonus for a high-status guys but not the main draw for women, according to Kanazawa.
B. In the July (2004) issue of Intelligence, the sociologists offer a theory to explain the confluence of beauty and brains. Their argument, in a nutshell: Intelligent men achieve higher status and marry beautiful women, who pass their genes on to their disproportionately attractive and smart kids, who win mates who are good-looking or brainy, and so on. Or at least that's what they put forth in the journal article, "Why Beautiful People are More Intelligent."
C. Kanazawa said that given the imperfection in assortative mating, the correlation between intelligence and beauty should be far less than perfect. Beautiful people are more likely to be intelligent, and intelligent people are more likely to be beautiful. The correlation goes both ways, but is not perfect. There are always exceptions.
Now let me introduce who are the Malaysia’s beauties with brains.
III. We do have Malaysian attractive and smart man and woman.
A. Dr. Fazley Yaakub (Ph.D in Business Management).
1. Dr. Fazley is famous local artiste and a part- time motivator.
2. He is also the chairman of Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC).
3. He has proved that, an artistes are also should have the intelligence and he inspired community to become more intellect.
B. Yasmin Mahmood, 40s (Managing Director of Microsoft Malaysia)
1. Yasmin Mahmood is one and only three women in Asia Pacific to head a Microsoft country organization, plus she is the first women to lead the Malaysian team.
2. Married with 10-year-old son, she said that many smart women face dilemma of how do you balance your role and how far do you want to go. Women have to evaluate themselves because the further she go; the tougher it is to balance the values of an Asian woman and commitment to work.
I. In conclusion, beauty and brains always come together. Theory regarding this issue has been developed but in Malaysia, research on this issue is not widely or less applied.
II. Beauty and brains are described as having good-looks and intelligence in any women or men. Beauty and brains correlation goes both ways, but is not perfect.
III. By virtue of the theory of beauty with brains, I believe that we should appreciate that all of us have the opportunity to sharpen our beauty and intelligence.

Today's Idol
i went through a couple of sites today and searching for my IDOL of the day...finally, i found the Legendary investment Guru: Warren Buffet. While searching for his biography, (to get to know him, actually...) to share with you, I think why don't I just share his famous quote with all of you!
So, here are some of his famous quote compiled from several sites...
......................................................................................................................................................................
"I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others
are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful."
Warren Buffett lecturing to a group of students at Columbia U
“A market downturn, doesn't bother us. For us and our long term investors, it is an opportunity to increase our ownership of great companies with great management at good prices. Only for short term investors and market timers is a correction not an opportunity."
"If you're an investor, you're looking on what the asset is going to do, if you're a speculator, you're commonly focusing on what the price of the object is going to do, and that's not our game."
1997 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting
"Time is the enemy of the poor business and the friend of the great business. If you have a business that's earning 20%-25% on equity, time is your friend. But time is your enemy if your money is in a low return business"
1998 Berkshire Annual Meeting

This another set of quotes for my collection. Just love 'em!!!

RICH MAN
Friday March 13, 2009 (Taken from The Star Online)
Ananda, Kuok share top spot on rich list
They rank No. 62 with an estimated worth of US$7bil each
PETALING JAYA: T. Ananda Krishnan and Tan Sri Robert Kuok are jointly holding the crown as Malaysia’s richest people, with both ranking No. 62 on Forbes’ world billionaires list.
They have an estimated fortune of US$7bil each as at Feb 13.
Four other Malaysians in the billionaires’ club included Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng (No. 234 at US$2.7bil), Tan Sri Teh Hong Piow (No. 261 at US$2.5bil), Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan (No. 376 at US$1.9bil) and Tan Sri Yeoh Tiong Lay and family (No. 397 at US$1.8bil).
Overall, the Malaysian billionaires’ net worth had dropped by US$7.8bil to US$22.9bil from a year ago.
Local billionaires on last year’s Forbes list who failed to make it to the 2009 list were Puan Sri Lee Kim Hua and family, Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary, Tan Sri Vincent Tan and Tan Sri Tiong Hiew King.
Ananda, 70, saw a decrease of only US$200mil in his fortune from last year. His holdings include Maxis Communications Bhd, Astro All Asia Networks, satellite company Measat and Tanjong Plc. Last year, he sold Excel, the exhibition venue in London’s Docklands, and bought a 20% stake in Johnston Press in London.
Kuok, 85, also known as “Sugar King” due to his sugar trading business, has lost US$3bil since the last ranking but has consistently maintained his top position.
His business interests range from shipping to palm oil, hotel and media. Hong Kong-listed Kerry Group Ltd, Singapore-based Wilmar International Ltd, hotel chain Shangri-La Asia Ltd and PPB Group Bhd are among the jewels in his business empire. He is now residing in Hong Kong.
Bill Gates, 53, of Microsoft regained his number one position from investor Warren Buffett, 78, as the richest person in the world.
Gates’ net worth fell by US$18bil to US$40bil, while Buffett lost US$25bil to US$37bil.
Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Helu maintained the third spot with US$35bil.
This year, the average net worth of the world’s billionaires has dropped by 23% to US$3bil.
The world now has 793 billionaires, down from 1,125 a year ago.
The Forbes survey showed that the collective wealth of the world’s billionaires was worth about US$2.4 trillion, down from US$4.4 trillion a year ago.

Rich Girl - by Gwen Stefani
[Gwen]
If I was a RICH Girl
Na [x15]
See, I’d have all the MONEY in the world, if I was a WEALTHY girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I’d have all the MONEY in the world, if I was a WEALTHY girl
Think what that MONEY could bring
I’d buy everything
Clean out Vivienne Westwood
In my Galliano gown
No, wouldn’t just have one hood
A Hollywood mansion if I could
Please book me first class to my fancy house in London town
All the RICHes baby, won’t mean anything
All the RICHes baby, bring what your love can bring
All the RICHes baby, won’t mean anything
Don’t need no other baby
Your lovin’ is better than GOLD and I know
If I was RICH girl (na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na nah)
See, I’d have all the MONEY in the world, if I was a WEALTHY girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I’d have all the MONEY in the world, if I was a WEALTHY girl
I’d get me four Harajuku girls to
Inspire me and they’d come to my rescue
I’d dress them wicked, I’d give them names
Love, Angel, Music, Baby
Hurry up and come and save me
All the RICHes baby, won’t mean anything
All the RICHes baby, bring what your love can bring
All the RICHes baby, won’t mean anything
Don’t need no other baby
Your lovin’ is better than GOLD and I know
[EVE:]
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of japan Harajuku girls
What? It’s all love
What? Give it up
What?
(shouldn’t matter) [x4]
What?
Come together all over the world
From the hoods of japan Harajuku girls
What? It’s all the love
What? Give it up
What? (shouldn’t matter)
What happened to my life? Turned up side down
Chicks that blew ya mind, ding, it’s the second round
Original track ending
You know you can’t buy these things
See Stefani and her L.A.M.B I rock the fetish people you know who I am
[Eve and Stefani:]
Yes ma’am, we got the style that’s wicked
I hope you can all keep up
We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top
now we ain’t gettin’ nothing but love
If I was RICH girl (na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na nah)
See, I’d have all the MONEY in the world, if I was a WEALTHY girl
No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end
Cause I’d have all the MONEY in the world, if I was a WEALTHY girl
