SEGI College Quotes on why we bother about education and jobs for everyone in this Miri community, and as a nation as a whole: Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation. Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource. "Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me." and watch the video of Steve Jobs, in his own words: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2011/10/steve-jobs-talked-about-death-in-2005-stanford-commencement-speech-2/ Jobs & Education are where our future will be Kho Yok Chong

Do you do repetitive task on Microsoft Office applications, eg, Excel, Words, Powerpoint, etc? Or do you need to transfer data between applications repetitively for reporting, etc? If yes to any of the above, perhaps, it is time to learn VBA (Visual Basic for Application). With VBA, you can cut boring office work and use the time more interestingly and usefully.
I was leading a team to develop an Economic Modelling application in an O&G company some 20 years ago. I have VBA experience and know it power. A few days ago, someone told me that he needs to make a Powerpoint page for all his clients for presentation. Since every page contains information with the same format, this can be done easily with VBA.
