ဖတ်မိတွေးမိရာ-၇: Difficult Conversations

👋Hello again! It's been a while. I'm back with another episode. This week I'm tackling a topic that I think a lot of us struggle with - having difficult conversations. You know those times when you really need to have a talk with someone but have been putting it off because it's not going to be easy? I've got this thought from the movie that highlighted all the unsaid conversations two people had - The Marriage Story. How many things went unaddressed that likely could have changed the course of their relationship? It got me thinking about all the opportunities we miss out on in life when we avoid difficult discussions. Then I explored what even makes a conversation difficult and different scenarios where they're more or less probable. I shared some of my own experiences needing to discuss hard things with friends, family members and coworkers over the years. And I shared a tip or two for preparing for and having those important yet uncomfortable talks.

ဖတ်မိတွေးမိရာ-၆: Games

Hello 👋 As the late night hours blend into the early morning, my mind drifts to games of various sorts - specifically chess, poker, and pondering the broader "games" we engage in across politics, relationships and life in general. I start with factual reflections on chess, noting how it focuses strictly on strategy without luck involved. One player's gain only comes at the direct loss of another. Does this reflect a zero-sum view of success? Are certain real-world arenas similarly cut-throat, where we must sacrifice others to achieve our aims? With poker, random chance and calculated risks are major factors. Reading others and making the best moves with unpredictable information feels applicable in many situations requiring strategic social navigation. But are we truly in control, or do unseen forces shape outcomes beyond our knowledge? This leads me to question - in the games woven throughout our existence, against whom exactly do we compete? Ourselves, other individuals, broad societal forces? What are the goals and stakes we're playing for - money, power, happiness defined by ever-shifting standards? Most significantly - are we truly the players, or might unseen hands be moving us as pieces on their board? Where do we draw the line between fair and foul plays? What strategies do we accept or reject in love, politics and business? How do we balance cooperative and competitive drives to optimize mutual gain without compromising integrity? I hope my mumblings provides similar midnight food for thought.

Chevening Scholarship w/ Thandar Aung Soe

Hello! 👋 (<a href="https://emojipedia.org/down-arrow">⬇️</a>Scroll down to read more) This week I had the pleasure of speaking with Thandar Aung Soe, a bright young woman from Myanmar who was selected as a Chevening scholar for the 2022-2023 intake. Thandar shared her inspirational journey of becoming one of just 8 Chevening scholars from Myanmar last year. She discussed her background and what motivated her to apply for this prestigious UK government scholarship program. The Chevening scholarship provides full financial support for scholars to pursue a one-year master's degree at any UK university* Thandar walked me through her detailed planning and preparation process for the Chevening application. This included researching scholarship requirements, timing the application process, obtaining letters of recommendation, and drafting compelling personal essays. She highlighted how the 4 essays were a critical part of the process, where her passion, personal story and alignment with Chevening's mission had to clearly come across. For those interested in applying, Thandar stressed the importance of understanding what makes you stand out as a leader and how your goals align with Chevening's mission. She advised on overlooked areas for applicants, like emphasizing the importance of grades from local universities, gaining ample work experience, and articulating those experiences effectively. It was inspiring to hear first-hand from Thandar how she leveraged this opportunity to expand her horizons and gain new skills. She is now working towards a master's in development studies at the prestigious London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). The Chevening scholarship application for 2023-2024 is now open (and closes on 7 November 2023). I hope this episode provides insights into the requirements, preparations, expectations, and inspirations to help you understand the application process.
