With every threat, lies an opportunity. 每一個危機,都蘊藏著商機。

Stock arrived! 貨到了! Testimonial from my customer! 顧客的見證! With every threat, lies an opportunity. I am thankful for all the shoten zenjin (heavenly gods and benevolent deities in Buddhism terms) who appears in my life. When COVID first strikes, a bro approached me and asked if I am interested to promote a product that could help with sterilization of 99.9% of bacteria and viruses which help to prevent COVID. Well, why not? There are people who trusted and bought 10-20 at one go, there are people who do not believe or feel that it is perfectly fine to just contact COVID since everyone is sure to get it sooner or later and there are those who half-believed yet find it expensive. Just as I build a solid base of trusting customers for the products, the distributor in Singapore decided to stop importing this product. An easy way out for me was to just discontinue the sales of this product. However, my customers kept checking with me about when would this product be available ag

Forest School Leader - Ivan Lim 森林學校領導人

Why Forest School? What is your own philosophy? Every child is unique and is talented in their own way. They deserved the time and space to find out for themselves. Not through endless hours of lessons, piles of homework or never-ending enrichment classes. Let them learn through play and experience things for themselves. 為甚麼選擇森林學校? 你自我的哲學是甚麼? 每個孩子都是獨一無二的,都有自己的天賦。 他們應該有時間和空間自己去自我發掘。 不是上無休止的課、做堆積成山的作業或永無止境的輔助課程。 讓他們在玩樂中學習,親身體驗事物。 I dedicate the achievement of this certificate to the following people in no chronological order : Stacy Tung - When you were alive, you inspired me to touch lives with our own lives. With your demise, it inspired me to chase my dreams right now and not wait till the time is right. (My song for you - https://bit.ly/3xAMeKf) Mummy & Qiqi - I could not let you see why I choose to do the things I do. You could not change my mind or stop me from doing what I want to do. Yet, you gave me the support I needed. Shannon & Aleks - Thanks for understanding how muc

Too much on your plate? 太多東西在你的餐盤上?

Image
19/04/22 :- Too much on your plate? 太多東西在你的餐盤上? Do you sometimes feel you have too much on your plate? Everyone seems to want a part of you. A lot of things require your time and attention. You feel like you need to split yourself up or become an octopus. Most of us do. At different points in time. It is not easy. But learn to focus and really do one thing at a time. The most important thing is... Learn to relax and take a break once in awhile. Even if it is just 5mins. 你有時會覺得你的餐盤裡有太多東西嗎? 每個人似乎都想要你的一部分。 很多事情需要你的時間和關注。 你覺得你需要把自己分裂出來或成為八爪魚。 我們大多數人都有過著感受。 就在不同的時間點。 這並不容易。 但是要學會專注,一次只做一件事。 最重要的是。。。 學會放鬆,偶爾休息一下。 哪怕只是5分鐘。

Number Game 數字遊戲

17/10/21 :- If it is a number game, would you hang on till the end? 若只是個數字遊戲,你會堅持到最後嗎? What if I tell you some of the things in life that you wanted are nothing but number games? If you can see the whole picture, would you be able to emerge as the winner in life? I often get a lot of light bulb moments when I chant. This was another night. This is not a secret or magic. We merely lack the ability to see the whole picture. Thus we do not have the determination and gave up before we reach the end. I think back of my own past. How many times or things did I give up because I did not hang in till the end? I gave up simply too easily. Or maybe, those were not the things I really wanted (that badly)? We set targets on the things we want. Halfway through the process, we felt tired, rejected, hopeless. We could not find the will to carry on. We tell ourselves, this is not working out. Let us just give up and go after something else. If I know, after 99 times: - of approaching a customer for a

The real or imaginative you?

Image
19/08/21 :- Did you fall in love with the real them or the imaginative them? 你愛上的是真實的他/她們還是你幻想中的他/她們? The imaginative them does not mean they do not exist, not like that imaginary friend you have. It means the kind of person (usually good) you imagined they are. In real life, they are (actually not as good) just not what you have imagined. 幻想中的他/她們並不是指他/她們不存在,不是你那個只活在你幻想中的朋友。 是指你幻想著他/她們是某一種人 (通常都是好的)。 但現實生活中,他/她們並不是如你想像中一樣 (往往都是沒那麼好)。 Someone asked this question recently. I think this is something worth pondering over. 最近有人問了這個問題。 我覺得還蠻值得深思的。 This happened to alot of people around me. My family and close friends. 這其實在我身邊發生過 - 我的家人與朋友都曾經歷。 I believe there are times you may have said this to someone too. "He/she is not as good as you think they are." As an outsider, there are things we can truly see clearer than the person involved. Yes, on one hand, we can say they are blinded by love. 想必你或許曾經對其他人說過。 “他/她並不是你想像中那麼好。” 身為局外人,我們或許看得比當局者清楚。 是的,或許一方面,我們可以說他/她們被愛迷惑。 Yet, when we are

Soulmate 靈魂伴侶

Image
  03/07/2021 :- Age is not a determining factor in meeting the one - Soulmate 年齡不是遇見那個人的決定性因素 - 靈魂伴侶 She said, "Though we met each other at this age, we have the feeling that we met our soulmates. Age is not a determining factor in meeting the one. Ivan, good luck and do not give up!" I believe everything happens for a reason. Whoever appears before you is tasked to give you something. She is 60 and he is 67 years old when they met. They have been dating for 5 years for now. Both of them feel they are each other's soulmates. Thanks for the words of wisdom! They truly come at the right time. 她說,“雖然我們這個年紀才遇到彼此,但我們有那種遇到靈魂伴侶的感覺。年齡不是遇見那個人的決定性因素。 家樂,祝你好運也不要放棄!” 我相信每一件事的發生都有它的原因。 出現在你面前的那個人背負給你甚麼的任務。 他們相遇的時候,她 60 歲而他 67 歲。 至今為止,他們已相戀了 5 年。 他們都認定是彼此的靈魂伴侶。 感謝充滿智慧之言! 他們來得正是時候。

With GREAT power comes GREAT responsibility! 能力越大意味著責任越重!

07/06/2021 :- With GREAT power comes GREAT responsibility!  能力越大意味著責任越重! Every one of us has different roles to play in life. We are our parents' child, our siblings' siblings, our children's parents, a leader or member in our religion, a student or an ex-student from a certain school, etc. Since I was young, I am drilled with the idea that people would blame my parents for it whenever I misbehave. It would make others think that my parents didn't teach me well. As we grow older, we may gain power, authority or position in the areas we are involved. How we behave may be due to our own characters, personal feelings or decision based on our own judgement. Yet, it is inevitable that others who know you as a certain "role", will tend to associate your behavior as that of all those who belong to the same group as you. "Oh, so this is how XX's child is like?" "Oh, so this is the kind of student XX school produced?" "Oh, so this is the wa
