成功的人找方法,失敗的人找藉口! Winners find ways for their success, losers find excuses for their failures!

Do you give up just because others are ahead of you? Or do you take it as a motivation to surpass them and do better? It is not about making comparison with others on who has bigger houses, faster cars or more money? It is doing a check and balance on ourselves. How far away are we from our own goals and dreams? What do you do to get closer to them? There are people who eventually stop making goals or having dreams, because they already tell themselves, "I would never get there, I do not have that kind of destiny." We create our own destinies. Not everyone is born with a golden spoon in our mouths. However, it doesn't mean we would never be able to make big goals and dreams and achieve them. It merely mean we may have to put in more time and effort than those who has a head start before us. Yet, I do know of friends who were born into not just rich, but super duper rich families and yet they own their current success to themselves. They did it with thei...

No dream is too small to strive for! 夢想無論大小,都值得去追求!

No dream is too small to strive for!  夢想無論大小,都值得去追求! Since young, I have always had big dreams. It came as a surprise to me when I met a new friend the other day and she said, "Do you know why I didn't volunteer as a participant of your project? I have no dream." She may or may not be true. After that, she asked if I can share with her about my dreams. Thus, I showed her my dream board and roughly explained to her on how we can find our own dreams. Simple thing like not waking up to the sound of an alarm can be a dream too. When we talk about dreams, it is not necessary to be BIG dreams. As long as it's something you really want, it can be your dream. If you are like my friend, feeling lost or thinking that you do not have a dream, ask me out for coffee. I hope my humble sharing with you during our coffee chat can help you realized deep down, you actually do have a dream. It may be waiting silently for you to achieve it. 從小我就有著很大...

Time is money! 時間就是金錢!

Image
12/12/16 :-  Time is money! 時間就是金錢! Time is money, many of us have heard that at least once in our lifetime. However, how much do we really understand this simple sentence? We need to really monetize it. What does that mean? Imagine if every 15mins of your time is worth $1,000, then would you be doing the thing you are doing now? Would you be hitting the snooze button for 15mins or wake up 15mins earlier to exercise for a healthier body? Would you be wasting half an hour to watch Korean drama or read a book to increase your knowledge? Would you spend an hour time working overtime to fulfill someone else dreams or would you leave the office and spend an hour learning how to build your own dream? So, the next time you want to do something, think again. If 15mins of my time is worth $1,000, would I want to do the next thing I've planned to do? 時間就是金錢,我們很多人這一輩子都至少有聽過一次。 但是,我們到底有多少真正了解這句話的意思? 我們需要將它金錢化。 那又是甚麼意思呢? 想像自己的每15分鐘相等於 $1,000,那麼你是...

離家,是為了回家。。。We left home seeking to return one day…

22/11/16 :- 離家,是為了回家。。。 We left home seeking to return one day… 今天聽了夥伴的夢想板,感觸良多。 加上回想起上個星期六,帶了母親一同去參加女神,董宥均的地方研討會,眼淚不禁在眼眶打滾。 当下,就想到這句話,“離家,是為了回家。。。” 有多少親人朋友從馬來西亞來到新加坡工作,為的就是能賺多一點錢拿回家讓家人過好日子。 但是,甚麼是好日子?錢,要賺多少才夠? 之前就看了一份報導,如果說你每三個月回家一次,假設你父母還有三十年與你一同共度,是否發現你只能多見他們120? 那么,在假設每一次回家三天,其實你剩下與他們相處的日子只剩360天,比一年還少! 我們很多人都很安逸,尤其是居住在新加坡的我們。 大多數人,從沒想過,有一天你的老闆可以毫無理由叫你馬上收拾走人。 試想,頓時你會變成怎麼樣? 是否,已經做好準備,有了備胎? 就算有的話,是否足夠? 沒有人想要失敗,但是卻有很多人不願付出努力去爭取自己想要的。 沒有一件事是容易的,但是你真的要沒有嗎? 如果,現在放棄了與家人的相處是為了將來所有的時間都能陪他們,你是否願意? 但是,以這些放棄的時間來打工,加班,光做一些沒有產值的事,到頭來很抱歉,你或許與家人的時間已到此為止。 當你父母離開後,若你也有自己的家庭,依然重複你這幾年在做的事,你只會得到同樣的結果。 每天都走同樣的路,永遠不能帶你到不同的地方。 在你離開的時候,你的孩子也即將重複你的一生。。。 今天的你,是否在為將來奮鬥,所做的一切是否能為你帶來財富,時間自由,健康的體魄來陪伴你的家人? 若還沒有,是時候好好深思這問題了。。。 我感恩自己已經做好準備並為母親與我未來的小家庭努力奮鬥。 家族翻身從小小的我開始。。。 Heard our partner shared her dream board today, emotions filled my heart. To add on, I have just brought my Mum along to attend my goddess, Stacy Tung's local seminar over the weekends, tears welled up i...

Pressure and Resistance - 壓力與阻力

壓力是推動力! Pressure motivates people! 阻力是爆發力! Resistance creates power! 19/08/16 :- 壓力是推動力, 阻力是爆發力! Pressure motivates people, resistance creates power! Do you work well under pressure? What do you do when you are faced with resistance? I used to be boiled down by pressure. In the past, with a little resistance, I tend to quit. However, due to experience and perhaps as age catches up, things are no longer the same for me now. Most importantly, I am currently hanging out with the right groups of positive people. With the awesome energy and right attitude, I move forward with direction. Though it may not be easy now, I know in time to come, all these is going to be worthwhile. What do you do when you get cold water splashed over you nearly every week or every now and then? Do you get discouraged or move on? You are the only person who can fight on for your own success. Similarly, you are the only one who can decide that you should fail. Do not let others de...

Whatever you do, it will eventually affect those around you - Choose wisely! 你所做的,終究會影響到身邊的人 - 謹慎地作選擇!

She has been the best supporter for 4 years. 她已當了我這 4 年來的最佳支持者。 31st July 2016 marks my 5th year in helping to raise funds and create awareness for the children at Children Cancer Foundation by taking part in Hair for Hope. However, my Mum has decided to join me for the first time! I'm truly so proud of her! Just last week, I had dinner and a heart to heart talk with my lyrics classmate, Christine aka Shang Rui. Few years back, she decided to come and work here in Singapore. Initially, her parents objected strongly. However, seeing the positive changes in her whole family ever since she came here, she never regretted making that decision. This was what she said, "I never expect the little decision which I made will affect my family members that much." She said something else which my idol, Stacy Tung has mentioned before too, "If by working harder, my parents/Mum can enjoy more and faster, I am willing to do just that." Coinciden...

What do you want to leave for your kids? 你想留給孩子的是甚麼?

Image
17/04/16 :- What do you want to leave for your kids? 你想留給孩子的是甚麼? What do you want to leave for your kids? Have you even considered that? I do not have children yet but I have 2 god children. Just like what I mentioned on the ang pow to George; when he grows up, Godpa would want to be able to teach him how to grow up rich and earn residual income. Qiqi once told me this, "If I can, I hope to be able to provide my children with education till University. Because our family was not well to do, I need to work and do part time study at the same time to repay my education loan and I know how tough it is." But, is that the best way? I would not want my children to go through 10+ years of education just to received an University certificate and earned a better chance to work for others for 40-45 years. Throughout these years, they build dreams for the rich and do not even have a guarantee future of being able to retire comfortably at age 65. Do not get me wrong, I ...
