                         Last GNCT lecture in last Thursday we did a very creative activity which name is Culture. We have to made up a new culture not in real world yet for that activity.

                        First lecturer divided our class in two team which team are contain 8 members. Anjana, Hassitha,Ashen,Pankajan,Chathmini,Sandali and me were the members of the our team. After the lecturer gave the introduction of the game, gave some idea to how do that. We had to 4 task to do this activity. That are

• Give the name to the our living land and language which contain our new culture
• National anthem
• Song

                        Therefore we had to design those tasks with creatively. We were given enough time to prepare our activity. So we create a new culture. The name of the our living area is "Hubalanthaya". 

Our language huba huba language. However we made a new culture. But we can not present it very well because our members were very shy and we could not practice before the activity well. But we could to complete the all task of this activity.

                                         

                                                            Leadership 




                                    
     

                                   Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California. His unwed biological parents, Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali, put him up for adoption. Steve was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs, a lower-middle-class couple, who moved to the suburban city of Mountain View a couple of years later.

                                   The Santa Clara county, south of the Bay Area, became known as Silicon Valley in the early 1950s after the sprouting of a myriad of semi-conductor companies. As a result, young Steve Jobs grew up in a neighborhood of engineers working on electronics and other gizmos in their garages on weekends. This shaped his interest in the field as he grew up. At age 13, he met one the most important persons in his life: 18-year-old Stephen Wozniak, an electronics wiz kid, and, like Steve, an incorrigible prankster.

                                    Woz, whose interest in electronics had grown stronger, was regularly attending meetings of a group of early computer hobbyists called the Homebrew Computer Club. They were the real pioneers of personal computing, a collection of radio jammers, computer professionals and enlightened amateurs who gathered to show off their latest prowess in building their own personal computer or writing software. The club started to gain popularity after the Altair 8800 personal computer kit came out in 1975.

                                     The knowledge that Woz gathered at the Homebrew meetings, as well as his exceptional talent, allowed him to build his own computer board — simply because he wanted a personal computer for himself. Steve Jobs took interest, and he quickly understood that his friend's brilliant invention could be sold to software hobbyists, who wanted to write software without the hassle of assembling a computer kit. Jobs convinced Wozniak to start a company for that purpose: Apple Computer was born on April 1, 1976.
                                       However, because of his hot temper and his relative inexperience in technology or management, Steve jobs was thrown out of the Lisa project. He felt absolutely crushed by this decision. As a revenge, he took over a small project called Macintosh, a personal computer that was supposed to be a cheap appliance, 'as easy to use as a toaster'. In 1981, Steve Jobs became head of the Macintosh project, and decided to make it a smaller and cheaper version of the Lisa, complete with a GUI of folders, icon and drop-down menus, and a mouse.
                                       This is very short description about his life. We can get many attitudes to iur lives. I also would like to be  a man like this person because he could to face the challengers successfully.

                                                     Our Personal Goals

                              In last GNCT  lecture we had to present our personal goals in front of he class room. We were allowed to use the display our personal goals on the bristol board. Therefore our lecture inform about this in last lecture.

                                       
           
                       I divided my personal goal into 6 categories. There are followings

• Personal goals
• Educational goals
• Career goals
• Family and Friends goals
• Financial goals
• Physical goals

                      Because we categorize my presentation in to this, Ii is help to explain the my personal goals others. According to details of each category did my presentation.
                       This activity was help me to develop my presentation ability. Also I am helped to plan to my future successfully and what do I do for that.
