More on what they say about The Book

The book "Winning the Game of Life" is Great! the best among all the books that I wanted my young group to treasure. This book will help me a lot with my mission in DXN to develop atleast 10 young multi millionairs before 2010 ends., since I met these young kids who are very talented and had the potential to excel more than they knew and expected but no guidance, with this book it is easer for them to understand why they must not stop DREAMING that everything is possible with strong Faith and GOD guidance nothing is impossible . I am so blessed and proud that I have my young brother Aleem "Joe"thru him knowing Kevin is a Gift from GOD to make my mission easier and faster. more power KEVIN! and thank you for sharing what is in you!GOD BLESS - Bing Nur, RN.

A Letter from AIM ISEP Yvonne Larcher, Austria

A note of inspiration to keep ahead with challenges and Win the Game of Life!Yvonne Larcher - ISEP 2008 from Vienna, Austria. A leader, motivator, international citizen, social worker and an international buzz stud that masters corporate and social communication. -This to describe her stay at AIM ---

From Yvonne to ISFIT:

ALEEM SIDDIQUI MATABALAO GUIAPAL - not only a friend

I met Al (thatʼs how his friends use to call him) during my exchange semester at Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in Makati, Manila. We immediately became friends. If you meet Al, you know why. There is no reason of not building a friendship with him. Due to his open mind and curiousness about other peopleʼs opinions, life, etc., he definitely becomes a friend with everybody.

In the following paragraphs I want to introduce to you the man Al, you cannot know from writings, or CVs.

Al is always smiling, and that puts a smile other peopleʼs faces every time. He is so kind and helpful. He is there whenever his friends need him. There are so many positive characteristics among him, but I cannot list all of them. Sure, you might think now, “she only writes about positive things, but where are the negative sides of Al”. Well, to be honest, I could not even find a single one. Al and I are friends now for more than half a year. And I definitely can say, I have never experienced a negative characteristic of Al.

Even after my exchange semester, Al and I phone a lot, and exchange our opinions, writings, and many more. To me, those exchanges are a real personal enrichment. I learn so much from him. I am at the beginning of becoming more active in working for peace, against poverty, and try to ecome more social responsible. Al is already right in the middle of it. He even devotes his spare time for his dream: peace and equality. And I adore him for doing that. Without such people, the world would definitely be a worse place. I am sure you know Alʼs extraordinary CV and probably you have read some of his writings, but by now, you have never met him. You should not waste the opportunity to meet such a great person. Al addresses himself completely to his beloved task. He believes for more than 100% in what he does.

Why am I so sure, that Al deserves the ISFIT Student Peace Prize? I know that all of the nominees contributed making our world a better place. But Al really lives for making our world to be the best place for all its people. He is a person that brings out the best in another. He changed me, in a way I did not even recognized in the beginning. I just told him that I would love to do development work in the future. And what he does, is not only encouraging me in reaching my goal, he also introduces me into this subject step by step (and I did not really comprehend it as this) in the beginning. He made me more curious about all what can be done, what is done and what I can do.

But to keep it short:

One thing I am pretty sure of is, that we can expect a lot from Al in the future, and that we
will read and hear from him.

An exchange semester at AIM –A retrospective

By Yvonne Larcher

From September to December 2007 I was attending my exchange semester at AIM. In the beginning I had no clue what was waiting for me there.

But let’s start with the school selection process. I chose the Philippines, because I wanted to get in contact with the Asian culture for the first time of my life. One of the reasons why I choose Asia was that I see the (economic) future in this part of the world; and I want(ed) to be part of this future. I decided to apply for the Philippines, because they are one of the more westernized” Asian states, so I wouldn’t face a lot of cultural problems. I started doing some research on the country, in order to be able to write a motivation letter for my application. During my research I recognized that the Philippines face a lot of problems, but still, I saw a lot of potential within the country. Moreover, I read field reports from former Austrian exchange students and I had a coffee with them. They definitely encouraged me in going there. What was funny, that all of them said, that you never want to leave the Philippines after being there. At that point of time, I couldn’t believe them. I thought there is no country in the world, that could make me feel like that.

My exchange experience
Well, it was definitely amazing, awesome, great … and a lot more (I hardly find the right words). I never thought of having such a good time. The people in the Philippines and at AIM are the best in the world. I never experienced such warmth. From the beginning I felt welcome. It didn’t even took me a day until I had a feeling like being/arriving at home. Wherever you go, people smile at you, start talking, trying to help you … it’s incredible. I never met people who are so polite.

The people at school are great. All the students and the staff help you. I never felt alone when I was there. I loved staying at school, meeting all the people and chat with them (hearing their story). The community feeling you get there is unique. You definitely feel like being part of it, and I love being part of it. The parties at AIM are unique as well. Sometimes there are just smaller, spontaneous parties, sometimes you can participate in one of the Indian’s birthday parties (which are always big fun), or there are festivals like Diwali, Christmas, Chinese New Year, and so on. Partying with all the people there, is like celebrating with your family. What I liked among the festivals was, that students organize it. They really work hard on it, and each batch tries to contribute as much as possible (which is pretty hard, as the workload at AIM is a lot).

Normally I never contribute to any performances on such parties. But my colleagues there made me do it. I participated in an Indian performance at Diwali, and I danced the Tinikling on Christmas. The reason why I don’t do such stuff normally is that I feel stupid doing it; but at AIM it was different: people are supporting each other and encourage one another.
The most important thing for me was: I did not only learn something about the Philippine culture, but also about Indian, Chinese and other Asians cultures. AIM was the perfect platform to meet people from different countries.

The teaching system at AIM is far different from the one at my school. I liked this difference because at AIM you are more able to tell your opinion. You discuss about it.

Activities apart from school
Impressing for me was, that students try to do additional work apart from school. I participated twice in doing some community work. It’s an amazing feeling, knowing doing something good. The first time I tought some children in good behaviour and in hygiene. Afterwards we helped painting some houses. The second time I did some painting as well.
Moreover I collected some clothes from my other exchange friends, in order to donate them to the poor people.

I know that what I did, is only a very small, small help for the people there. But I really feel connected to the country and the people there, so that I wanted to give something back; even if it is only a small part.

Traveling
During my stay, I travelled not only through the Philippines but also to some Asian cities.
The people in the Philippines are awesome. They welcome you wherever you go. Impressing for me was that even in small villages people speak English. You can’t expect that in my home country. Moreover I felt free while travelling. Without any real plans, I packed my backpack, took the plane to a place and then my friends and I decided where to go from there.
My travels brought me from Northern Luzon down to Mindanao. I tried to explore the country as good as possible, as much time I had. Definitely, I enjoyed it. The country is a real paradise; unbelievable. What I really liked was that the places are really untouched. Except of a few places you find real, non-touristic places.
Unfortunately, exactly this point is so important for the Philippines. Tourism is so such an important sector for the country. The islands with their diversities are such jewels, and I’m pretty sure, as soon as there is a sufficient infrastructure, people from other countries all over the world will love to go there.

Development, Politics, etc.
A coup, bomb explosions, typhoons, landslides, an earthquake; all of that happened during my stay, and still I was not frightened, and I didn’t want to leave the country. All those incidents changed nothing in my feelings for the country and the people there.
I knew before going there that the country faces a lot of problems, and some of them I experienced. Still, there is a lot of potential within the country and its people that I see. I am confident that they can handle it. Step by step, slowly, the country will develop and improve. And I hope I can be part within this development.

What happened after my exchange?
It was really hard, leaving all my friends and the country, I fell in love with. The students I talked to, before coming to the Philippines, were right. You’ll fall in love with the people at AIM and the country; and I did it.

Now, back in Austria, I use every free single second to think back to the times at AIM. I really have the feeling still being there; physically I’m back in my home country, but mentally I’m still in the Philippines.

My exchange showed me a new path for the future. Before it, I was not sure, what I want to be; but now I have a clearer view of my future. What did I take with me except of the amazing memories? Well, I try to keep the community spirit within me. Moreover, I’m less impatient than I was before. Another thing is that I take more things with humour and less serious. I really miss the more relaxed life style, but I try from time to time to bring it in my busy student life over here.

I’m back now for almost two months, and still, I have the desire within me of going back. I want to see all my friends again. I also want to return and give the country back what it gave to me: a new view on my life!!!

Thank you!
I would like to use this opportunity to thank all the people, I met during my stay! A special thanks applies to all the people at AIM; the students, the professors, and the staff. Thank you for making my stay so extraordinary!!!
Hope to see all of you soon!

This short article only covers some of my impressions, and feelings; but I hope I could let you be part of some of my experiences!

Kim Lachica, MDM 2008, Speaks at Harvard Kennedy School of Government on Asian Anticorruption Initiatives

A Note from 2008 Sen. Ninoy Aquino Fellowship Awardee

Dear Al, Thanks. Met Pres. Bush during the Pentagon Memorial last Sept 11. Also, met some officials at the World Bank, New Hampshire. Good that Prof. Nihal introduced us to world bank, hehe I was able to follow the terminologies they used. I'm now meeting the Atty General here in Massachusetts for another meeting. By the way, beyond my expectation, I was asked to talk to a class of graduate students at Harvard's kennedy School of Government on Asian anticorruption initiatives. It was really unexpected since the professor I was meeting with got interested wht there's so much corruption in Asia. I will also run two classes at University of Texas at Austin next week. - Fr. Kim Lachica, MDM 2008, Asian Institute of Management

Kim, On behalf of MDM 2008, we would like to extend our Congratulations!

Harveen's Thoughts
a world debater, international entrepreneur, IT and legal practitioner.

For Singles.....

and maybe she's still learning what she needs to, to be a fitting partner for you....sometimes people take a while longer on their journeys to each other - HN


For Entrepreneurs

What does our backgrounds and titles entails?
After a while these things stop having any real importance. They just fade into the background because you create a new reality every day. And if the one you create today doesn't honour the gifts you've been given and the person you are, then it matters little what else there is behind you.

Winning the Game of Life endorsed at HPAIR 2008 by delegates from France and Austria

Winning the Game of Life by Kevin Abdulrahman endorsed by delegates from France and Austria at the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations during the HPAIR 2008 Academic Conference at Hilton PJ, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Winning tactics and secret weapons of Kevin's Winning the Game of Life has become part of my venture having been selected as Paper Presenter during the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations 2008. It was the impetus of the book that draw motivation to continue my writings on the Challenges of Virtual and Volunteer Organizations based on my MRR's internal analysis Re: YMPN Organizational Strategy. Other than that I had to work on the sponsorship to cover the costs of my travel. Kevin has constantly coached me and that I advise everyone to attend his workshops. Soon, we will do a roadshow and series of workshops on Winning the Game of Life in Asia.

Making it at HPAIR 2008 spread the words of Kevin's book. Thus, comes the appreciation and endorsement of Fritz (Austria) and Kevin (China). Other's who were inspired by his words and motivated by the idea and value of social networking were Junyi of NUS, Singapore and Francois of the University of Paris, France. (Guys your comments .......) Junyi and Francois becaome a great social networker after the HPAIR Academic Conference.

As Kevin said, If success is the only option, then you are forced to succeed!

Cheers for Choosing to Win the Game of Life!

The Power of AIM Alumni Network with HRH Dr. Nazrin Shah and AIM Board of Trustee Datuk Dr. Annas

The Power of AIM Alumni Network[1]

Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations Paper Presentation on Leadership is Proudly Sponsored by AIM Kelab Malaysia and Beacon Global Network, Inc.

Having been selected as paper presenter on Leadership at the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations at Hilton PJ, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on August 21-24, 2008 along with seven (7) others from Harvard University, University of Munich, University of Sunshine Coast, National University of Singapore, Tsinghua University, University of Karachi and Korean Minjok Leadership Academy shows the leadership of the Asian Institute of Management in the field of academic excellence and how it molded us to be leaders and managers in the New Asia.

Admission in the Business and Academic Conference of the HPAIR 2008 requires academic and business rigor and financial resources. It was an almost two weeks conference combined with preparation for the paper presentation running from August 12-25, 2008. HPAIR 2008 is an avenue for the future leaders of Asia to discuss issues involving the “ Global Integration of the Business World, How Corporate Governance Affects the Business Climate in Asia, and series of Workshops on Social Security, Rule of Law, Leadership and Economic Growth.”

An avenue to meet CEO of GE Asia, DAIMLER, the Secretary General of ASEAN, AIM Kelab Malaysia Alumni President Datuk Dr. Mohd Annas Mohd Nor, Secretary Hazi Zul Baharom (HRD Asia Congress Director), Dr. Zaki (IIUM), Treasurer Mr. Lai Huat (Dir, Kolej Pacific Kuantan), AIM Governor Tan Sri Dato’ Dr. Lin See-Yan (President, Harvard Club of Malaysia), and the prince of Perak Malaysia, Malaysia HRH Raja Nazrin Shah.

Sponsorship

HPAIR is a Harvard run student organization and therefore financing the business and academic conference which costs in more or less 1700USD is a tough resourcing to be made by an ADB-JSP scholar like the presenter who had been a full time student at AIM for the past 11months.

Then comes the power of the AIM Alumni Network. Getting into HPAIR all started from the motivation and support of AIM Alumni and Beacon Global Network, Inc. founder Ms. Berna Lomotan (MBM ’74), Mr. Celso Vivas (MBM ’73) and AIM Kelab Malaysia Mr. Hazi Zul Baharom (MM) to proceed with the registration, then follows the rest, then the paper presentation on the Challenges of Virtual and Volunteer Organizations highlighting the Internal Analysis of the Organizational Strategy of the Young Moro Professionals Network, Inc. under the advisory of AIM CDM Associate Dean Mario Antonio G. Lopez. The presentation was witnessed by AIM Kelab Malaysia President Datuk Dr. Annas who were also among our special guests in our gala dinner. Acknowledgment to the coordination made Mr. Greg Atienza, Executive Management Director of the Alumni Relations Office.

The Power of AIM Alumni Network (AIM Kelab Malaysia)

The more or less 4,000 AIM Alumni in Malaysia shows the strongfold leadership of AIM Alumni. They were the major players in the business industry. Datuk Dr. Annas had shared his words of wisdom that making it in HPAIR 2008 is a practice of one’s management skills specifically in dealing with calculated risks as I came in the conference dependent on sponsorship. Hazi Zul had toured me in Putra Jaya and the best of KL with his family after my paper presentation.

Indeed a great experience! This is the power of AIM Alumni Network!
