Cyrano ..

Hi,

Last Saturday, I attended a seminar called "Emotional Resilience
Talk Show " The speaker for the event is Cyrano.

Yes, don't ask me for his full name because the organsier did a
poor job that they did not even put his name in the power point
slide during the entire talk show.

A brief background of this person

He is an SIA pilot 6 years ago and unfortunately, he crash the
SIA plane in Taiwan 5-6 years ago. People died in the accident and
it was the first air plane accident in the history of the Singapore
Airline Industry.

Been a victim of the accident himself, he needed to face media
stress and the attention by many people who lost their love ones
in the accident.

In his talkshow, he was able to share with us his journey after
the accident and how he faced his life afterwards.

It was a very sensitive issue because it involved a big multi
national company of Singapore. He bring forward to talk openly
to the people about what had happpened and what are the emotional
challenges he is facing.

One person ask him,

"In spite of encouraging people to learn flying, Why
aren't you flying?"

With this question he answered that he is sending his resume to
many airlines and has yet to receive an answer.

He further added that he can understand the challenge of people
employing him as an airpilot and he also joked about it,

When face with 2 option,
1. person who have 2500 hours of flying record , clean record
2. person who have 2500 hours of flying, a disaster

Which would you choose?

At the end, he give this quote to people,

"The Door Is Meant To Kick, Keep Kicking Until It's Open!"

To date, he is still sending his resumes out and I would like to
comment on his 'Never Say Die' attitude.

I would also like to stress again that there will always be
a positive outcome no matter how bad the situation is.

Cyrano is very happy with his future and he is proud to have
experienced the air craft accident. He treated the accident as
a lesson experience to him . He is very excited about his future.

Be persistence in what you do and do long enough, and you will succeed.
This is one important lesson I learnt that night which I want to share
with all of you.

Look forward to downloading the audio clip in the next few day.
