| Tan Sri Fernandes giving his speech in Mind Festival |
SETAPAK & KAMPAR: Tan Sri Dr Tony Fernandes gave an inspiring talk in front of thousands of people in Setapak during the Malaysia Festival of Mind VII. He shared his experiences on turning AirAsia around and making it into a huge successful airline company. In his talk, he gave examples on the need for changing mindsets, thinking like world beaters and remaining positive in times of difficulty. He also advised the audience to ‘dream the impossible and believe the unbelievable’.
The Malaysia Festival of the Mind VII was organized by the Malaysia Mental Literacy Movement (MMLM) together with UTAR and KTAR. The event was held on 2 different venues both in the main campus of the KTAR in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur on 1st October 2011 and UTAR, Perak Campus in Kampar on 8 to 9 October 2011.
The purpose of organizing this event is to highlight the importance of mental literacy and creating awareness of the human mind so that people can fully utilise their brainpower. In addition, the event also introduced memory skills, creativity, thinking skills and speed reading to unleash one’s unlimited potential.
The festival attracted visitors ranging from secondary school students to veterans to join the event. Students were very interested in the talk on Sudoku, as commented by Teoh Jun Yong, a secondary school teacher who came along with his students. Another teacher, Mary Thomas who came from Johor Bahru with her daughter and a friend, looked forward to getting ideas from the festival to help students who have problems in their studies.
