Please email to : [email protected] 03 HARBOUR LIGHTS Dear Readers of “Harbour Lights”, QUALITY EDUCATION: IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVE People say that JCI is an alternative type of institutes, where you learn how to be a better person. When we all first joined JCI, in spite of your religion, political preference, background, social status, we must recite and follow JCI Creed in our organization, locally, nationally and internationally. Years after years, you will find the implicit value of the creed when you unknowingly imply it into your daily life. For me, quality education in 21st century should reflect the strength of human spirit - the ability to sacrifice, to be generous and think of the well-being of another. In JCI platform, you encounter with an overwhelming amount of interpersonal issues through which you learn about mankind at a really rapid pace. Love and hate, hope and despair, respect and jealousy, trust and suspicion remind us of our common humanity. We are the generation that can spread all the good things around by one single click. We have a big responsibility for such an instant impact throughout the whole world. After we saw all different people worldwide through this powerful platform of young leaders, we become less arrogant and aggressive. The quality education here leads us to a calm and humble individual. We hope to change ourselves in a good way and by achieving so, we must help other people to do the same. It’s a totally feasible formula which we have been practicing again and again in JCI. If you believe in our education, please join us and let this beautiful platform open your eyes. We welcome you, great learners to join our JCI family!

As JCI members, we are always ready to advance ourselves, so we could become better young active citizens to serve the communities. Countless training opportunities are always at our finger tips to grasp. Last year, when I was searching for relationship improvement courses, how to be a better employee at work, how to be a better mom and wife at home, how to be a better member at JCI family, the book “How to Win Friends and Influence People” popped in front of the screen. I wish I knew this author when I was a teen. Warren Buffett, the famous benevolent investor in the world, openly praised and showed gratitude to Dale Carnegie saying his course changed his life. What kind of magic course did Warren Buffet take? Dale Carnegie was born in a poor farmer family in Missouri, USA in 1888. Carnegie developed and started offering his courses on effective speaking in 1910s, after coming to New York. Warren Buffett enrolled in Carnegie’s public speaking course when he was 19 years old. In one of the documentary, Buffett said “if I had not had done that, my whole life would have been different”. The key to Carnegie’s classes was getting people comfortable on their feet and talking, conquering their fears by discussing things that are most familiar to them. 08 2017 ISSUE 4 Success Factors of a Global Training Company Today, Dale Carnegie Training centers certification before they can facilitate are located in over 90 countries the courses.
