Being adventurous and adventures indeed add colours to our lives. We tend to push our envelopes and break boundaries by being adventurous. It gives the gist of what worth living for.

We often hear that living an ordinary life leads to ordinary stories,
But let's not dismiss the beauty and lessons it carries.
In the simplicity of everyday existence, treasures are found,
Connections, joys, and growth are tightly bound.
Embracing the ordinary unveils life's true grace,
For within its tapestry, extraordinary moments find their place.- ZA

Living an ordinary life will only lead to ordinary stories. If you want to have extraordinary stories to tell, you need to live an adventurous life. People who live adventurous lives often have more interesting stories to tell. They have seen and done things that most people only dream of. They have met interesting people and had amazing experiences.

Thus, lets step outside of our comfort zone and try something new. We never know where it might lead us.

Living an ordinary life will only lead to ordinary stories. If you want to have extraordinary stories to tell, you need to live an adventurous life. This doesn't mean that we have to go skydiving or bungee jumping every weekend, but it does mean that we should be willing to step outside of our comfort zone and try new things.

If we want to have interesting stories to tell, we need to live an interesting life. This means taking risks, exploring new places, and meeting new people. It doesn't mean that we have to do anything extreme, but it does mean that we should be willing to step outside of our comfort zones and try new things.

So, Lets step outside of our comfort zone and try something new. We never know where it might lead us.

Jika kita sudah pernah mengharungi liku-liku yang mencabar atau tidak, pasti kita akan ada episod-episod yang akan diceritakan.


Dan, saya sangat-sangat bersyukur dan berterima kasih kerana diberi peluang selama 9 tahun ini dalam cerita turun naik kita (PORTMAN) terutama ketika episod pandemik yang lalu. ❤️

I agree with your statement Mr.Ernie, It really inspires me that to do more in future to achieve in my career prospect. Adventure is what makes life interesting and memorable. It's what pushes us out of our comfort zones and helps us grow as individuals.

Live that extraordinary life. I guess the only way stopping us from being extraordinary is when we only believe in the possible rather than the impossible. -Alya Sany-

Embrace the extraordinary by believing in the impossible. Don't limit yourself to what seems possible. Instead, strive for greatness and explore uncharted territory. Live a remarkable life that exceeds expectations and unleashes your true potential. - Asyraf

The clear and direct message shared by Mr. Ernie is an excellent filtering process.

Those who understand and appreciate the message will love it and go all out for it.

Those who do not align or have a different understanding will naturally filter themselves out.

We cannot expect everyone to love what we do, but we will attract the right people love to do what we do.

Growing the organization is challenging, achieving exponential results is even harder.

There are no shortcuts. To achieve exponential results, we must step out of our comfort zone.

Let's do this together and we will going to have great results and even greater rewards!

Thank you for the opportunity to make a difference. I'm proud to be part of PORTMAN.

I agree with Mr.Ernie that living an ordinary life often results in ordinary stories. It is through embracing challenges, taking risks, and venturing outside our comfort zones that we can create extraordinary experiences and narratives worth sharing.

So let us strive to live a life that is anything but ordinary, filled with extraordinary stories that inspire and captivate those around us.

Karen Lim said...

Thank you, Mr. Ernie, for giving me the opportunity to grow with the team and the organization.

This journey and experience hold great meaning for me, as I have learned a lot.

Stepping out of one’s comfort zone is challenging, but once achieved, it opens doors to exciting adventures and stories to share.

This journey also serves as a filtering process. Those who believe in the organization will understand and choose to growth in the journey. Conversely, those who do not agree or believe will be filtered out, as they may not align with our vision and goals.

Once again, Thank you Mr. Ernie and Teams.

Dear Mr. Ernie,

We are living in the real world and require real results. Income is what pays the bills. It is well noted that if we want to achieve a double increment, we have to aim for double the results. Live an extraordinary life to tell others our extraordinary story!

We always have the power to choose how we live and who we want to be. The more we achieve, the more incredible stories we can proudly share soon. Our achievements come from a collection of small wins that add up to big victories. Along our journey, we've experienced many wins, both big and small. It hasn't been an easy journey, but as long as we keep going, adapt, and stay focused on our goals, we will overcome any challenges. Having a diverse team here is a great advantage, and with the right guidance and management, we'll definitely have amazing stories to proudly share in the near future. Keep pushing forward and staying focused because our stories are going to be huge sources of pride.

Pressure builds diamonds. We have to constantly put ourselves through challenges to actually learn. And from this learning we gain experience.

Now is the time to leave our comfort zones and move forward. Embrace our challenges and deliver. -Cobein

It's never too late to start and step out of one's comfort zone. Sometimes uncomfortable situations can make us wiser and wiser.

Being loud and clear about who we truly are is very important. It helps attract like-minded people instead of the wrong individuals.

PORTMAN is definitely extraordinary in almost everything we do, and we welcome everyone who wants to be extraordinary as well. 😉

We only live once and I myself definitely will not want to just live an ordinary life and regret when I am older.
