If you are reading these words, know that things always happen for a reason. You may have stumbled upon us, or found us through facebook. Or a mass mail. Or someone asked you with passion in his or her eyes to go to this url. Or you merely followed a link. What’s important is that you are here today. And though we can never predict what may happen to us in the future we sure can do one thing. We can OPEN OUR HEART TO A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES.
Welcome to ADAM KHOO OUTDOOR EDUCATION.
Because there is much that you can learn in the confines of the 4 walls. But once you step outside the door, the possibilities are endless. And what you can learn is never ending. The world is your playground. Play to win. To have fun. To live your best life. And make a difference to the world around you. To make a dent in the universe. And leave every person and place better than you found it.
Where we do 3 things. Educate Entertain Empower. And in this journey we like to call life, we sometimes ask ourselves a good many questions. A lot that focus on ourselves. Like what’s our meaning in life, what will happen to me tomorrow or why me. Let’s learn to shift our focus today and ask instead life’s most important question : What are we doing for others today? For we will soon come to learn that the more we make make a difference for others around us, the more we make a difference in our lives. The more we find joy for others, the more we find joy for ourselves. Giving our all to those around us, begins the process of receiving. And receive we shall get. Not cash or recognition. Not the tangibles in life which we can throw one day. It’s the intangibles that will make our journey in life meaningful, that will tell us that I live for a greater purpose in life. The overpowering drive that would want us to get better each day, waking up from bed each day with a purposeful stride in our feet ready to make a difference in the world. That makes our days worthwhile.
So Unleash The Leader Within You Today. For in order for you to FOLLOW your DREAMS, You need to LEAD your lives first.
Be the Change That You Want To See in this world. The Difference that makes the Difference. The Spark that starts a fire of passion in the bellies of those around you. Everything happens for a reason. There’s a time and place for everything to happen. Why not make that time now. For if not now then when? If not you then who?

What you think about today will create your tommorrows. And remember tommorow is only a day away.

No matter where you are, who you’re with Empower Lives, Design Destinies. Be the difference you want to make in the world:) The Starfishes are waiting.

So guys are you ready ?
(Aye. You were born ready)
“The point is what i found at a very young age was that if you only think about yourself, how much money can i make, what can i buy,what kind of fancy car do i have than over the long term i think you get bored. I think your life becomes-I think if you’re only thinking about yourself, your life becomes diminished and that the way to live a full life is to think about what can i do for others? How can I be a part of this larger project of making a better world? Now that could be as simple as making-as the joy of taking care of your family-and watching your children grow and succeed. But i think especially for the young people here, i hope you also consider other ways that you can serve, because the world has so many challenges right now.there’s so many opportunities to make a difference,and it would be a tragedy if all of you who are so talented and energetic, if you let that go to waste, if you just stood back and watched the world pass you by. Better to jump in, get involved. And it does means that sometimes you get criticised and sometimes you’ll fail and sometimes you’ll be disappointed, but you’ll have a great adventure, and at the end of your life hopefully you’ll be able to look back and say , i made a difference“
That’s OBAMA’s words from the heart … Dont you find that congruent…especially with what we have been doing..so guys continue being the best you that you can be and journeying on this great adventure life is! Life in a nutshell has been summarised by OBAMA’S sincerest truest words and thoughts…(look how as he articulate the words in the video he is thinking from the heart!) … so JUMP IN GET INVOLVED! MAKE YOUR BEST LIFE TODAY!
Dear Family of Coaches, It has been an awe inspiring february and march in this world of difference making, dream weaving and evangelizing possibilities. As you look back at what you’ve created- yes you create you own destiny- let us all reflect on the good that we’ve done, improve on our learning experiences and go out there to be MAD once more…From Concord to Mayflower, we have planted seeds and sparks that will light many fires in a world that may be dark 12 hours a day. And i just thought what made the difference? what made the experiences so awesome? this is what ive got…
1) A small act, a little spark makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE
You never know the power of your words, thoughts deeds. Even the smallest of ones goes a long way to make huge differences to people. From Alvins little wave at random MRT commuters just to make their day to Timothys word of WELL DONE to Mayflowerian Garry-that sparked tears(TIMSTY YOU MADE HIM CRY!) – you never know but most of the time your little acts those little extra acts goes a long way to make a difference to people. The results may not be tangible now…but they do inside the hearts of the one you’ve touched. So always remember, what can you do today to plant that smile on the faces of others? How can you be mad? And like it says on the staff room window of one school we’ve done as inside the camp booklet : TO THE WORLD YOU MAY BE ONE PERSON BUT TO ONE PERSON YOU MAY BE THE WORLD….
In life, its the little things that matter...
2) Show Yourself to others and you unlock doors that were locked for ages
During Advanced Live! Operation, there was a certain PM Ivan who kind of lagged behind the troopers and he was sort of ashamed of himself. And yet you know what he strived to put himself above the circumstance he was in and pushed forth towards excellence. Nothing to be ashamed of really! So you see it is okay for us to show our weak side, because our greatest power is our power to be weak-and only by knowing weakness can we gain strength. And by showing our true self to others, we embark on a connection so beautiful that will last us many journeys to come…So BE YOURSELF. There’s no better cnadidate.
Be who you are, say what you feel!:)
3) Find out WHY are YOU here, and then everything will fall in place…
There’s a reason behind everything you do. And every thing happens for a reason…There is even this saying that goes ” When you find out the WHY, you can bear any HOW” So always ask yourself, what is the reason you are here, what is my purpose over here…That joureny of self discovery is going to be a long one, you may have to look deep within yourself. But as many a coach has known they see a piece of themselves in others they meet…so what is it that is so special about your purpose? Find your WHY…and everything will fall in place:) At the end of some of the camps, many a coach have come up to me and told me i found my WHY. Congratulations guys, welcome to your best life ever. IT STARTS NOW.
Could this be the reason?
4) Everything happens for a reason. The fact that you are in a certain circumstancs means life wants to tell u a story, or life wants you to have a story to tell…
Just like what timothy felt when he was given an NT class, you sometimes wonder why am i in this circumstance. So just have faith that everything happens for a reason and that a bigger purpose will always await you at the end of one journey. So look at what you have, and you will find you will have everything. All these camps you have made a magical spark, a big difference because given what u have u made the best out of it and truly understood that life is not about what happens to you but what you truly can do about it …in the biggest way possible!
Have Faith!
5) Your words are the most powerful weapons you carry
Some say words are cheap, actions speak louder than words. True but what you say does make a difference, it changes the way people feel. And one’s emotions are the triggers of our actions. And our words go far. Many of you would realise how the beauty of your words during 60MINUTESFOCUSONYOUROUTCOME elicit such responses from your campers, much more tears running down their cheeks. The most powerful way I have seen our words make a huge difference is thru LOIC, our Mayflowerian Trooper of 2008. He actually went one step further as to physically conduct the Focus On Your Outcome activity with his NCC juniors such that when they were selected for the ADV LIVE! this year, they already knew all about it. And what was more striking was that he used the exact words i used on them one year ago…AWESOME feeling.period.
The chief aim of leadership is to build a better leader than you:)
6) CARE- One small word, makes one huge difference.
Dr Seuss once said before, if a person like you dont care an awful lot, things would never get better. And in your own way, you CARED for your participants.your troopers.your junior heroes.rookies. an awful lot. I went around as an “instigator in disguise” each night telling you DONT WASTE TIME LAH!!!! when you spent sleepless nights writing to your campers…but not once did you budge! Its the things that you do when you cared an awful lot that makes that impact, that endears even the stoned hearts and that makes u unique, different and awesome…
For a helping hand look at the end of each arm : one to help yourself, one to help others...
7) I, YOU and WE.
Each of us made a difference for all of us. What do you think the purple ribbon meant when it said WHO I AM MAKES A DIFFERENCE? It simply has a plain message to tell : that no matter who you are, where you’re from, what your story is, you can make a difference. And each of us makes a difference for everyone of us. The spirit of we, a we that is united amidst diversity, that challenges to be better each day, that chooses challenge over difficulty is the one that has made a splash in the ocean. And to that we say WHOOSH! Just what a pebble will make when it sends a ripple into the ocean…This is HOME TRULY.
The higher we woosh, the more awesome we'll be!!!
