Speaker 3

TM Harmina Montang presented  BM#3 : Get to The Point project, with speech title :  Words kill,words give life. She reminded us that sometimes our reaction to some people can be a cruel thing for them. Such as unconsciously smirking at someone because of their appearance, which TM Harmina knows really well. She suggested how we can express what we feel with other person without offending them, at least not too much. We can express it in a polite way, or reflected it on us such as questioning ourselves, what would we feel if somebody did it to us? Great speech!

Speaker 6

TM Budi Anton Panjaitan on his BM#7 : Research Your Topic, explained about his own experience with Sleep Paralysis. Most of people correlate this situation as a form of demon attack, seeking revenge, even tormenting people, or felt a presence of a negative entity, our even seeing our body as if we're already died. While it is in real situation is undoubtedly scary experience, science told us that it is normally occurs when our body start to enter sleeping state, yet our mind still remained conscious. It can be as an alteration from some factors in our physical life, such as lack of sleep, sleep disorder, stress, pressure at work, and a lot more.
