on branding …

it’s always good to step out our (limited) context and learn from beyond. the zoom webinar video “Are You Building a Brand or a Bland?” has 3 expert-practitioners in the field sharing their experiences.

and some ideas that caught my attention:

  • “a brand is important becos it builds long last relationship with your customers … and also employees”
  • brand is a sum of perception”
  • Richie’s strategy to building brands from 0:30:53-0:33:24
  • [0:37:29] “we want people to realise that the power of change is actually in their hands and that’s really kind of emotional and inspiring thing”
  • [0:44:26] “how did you end up where you are today(, Richie)?” … “…by mistakes”

of cos, a next/related question could be “what is/are the relationship(s) between the phenomenon of branding and the phenomenon of teaching CL?” (:

a tale from gotham city

one fine day, the principal of gotham high school frowned while looking at an exam script and asked the teacher, “how did this student end up in his final year in school, and yet failed his greek?”

“oh, but u are the one who promoted bruce at each level over the years?”

it is not well-known that batman studied greek in school, a compulsory subject in gotham city, but failed each year till his graduation year in gotham high school.

resistance is futile

it’s been a while since we revisited (the conception) of borg queen. as a novice, the first time i encountered the borg queen is in the classic movie – First Contact – which i have watched countless times.

oh yes, just to add another (my) #qotd that comes to mind:

“If it appears in shows, TV, movie, internet, or otherwise, it happens in the real world (with 99% confidence interval).”

that’s all for now (:
