Thinking is not some thing that Sri Lankans are very fond of. We love to blame, talk, and choose not to act. But when it comes to conscious thinking, it’s usually considered a severe hell breaking sin.
Well, come to think of it, Lucifer and the fallen angles were sentenced because of their excessive thinking and questioning of God, so I guess technically, thinking is a sin.
But the problem is we are a so-called Buddhist country, and inadvertently we are supposed to have awakened and lucid thoughts that transcend the society to a plane peace and prosperity. (No irony intended, but who am I to think on behalf of my readers…)
A bunch of young men and women are trying to turn the tables on this matter. On a very humble level they are organizing a one-day session on "Think on your feet". It's all for a good cause too; in aid of enhancing communication skills of engineering undergraduates.
The organizing committee is the Gavel Club (affiliated to Toastmasters International) of the Moratuwa University.
The topics are as follows:
Mr. M. Z. Saleem –General Manager of SLT: "Think Differently"
Mr. Dev Wijethunge –Professional Trainer: "Communicate with Confidence"
Mr. Dian Gomez – Managing Director of MAS Intimates and CEO of Unichela:
"Leadership and Building World Class Teams"
Mr. Niranjan de Silva –CEO of Metropolitan Computers.: "How to do a winning corporate presentation".
