The most common myth I've come across in life coaching is that: "it's too late to change my life". Well, this is almost always not true! I have seen some clients and surely, potential clients who 'devote' their lives to someone else. It's often their children, their husband/wife, caring their parents, or simply their jobs [...]
I used to believe that some people are born to be leaders and most people are meant to be followers. At least, that's what I have seen around me and perhaps, in the society as a whole. However, there are two issues with this view. First, it's true that most people are 'followers'. Humans are [...]
The past two months have flown by so quickly that it’s hard to make any sense of it. It never used to be like this. Time would always come to a standstill as a child, playing with the neighbour’s children or waiting for the school bell to ring. Cherished memories captured in brief moments of [...]
The most interesting question I've come across in my career as a world top 50 university professor was asked by a university freshman (first-year student). At the end of my lecture, he approached me and asked me: "Which job in the aviation industry has the highest pay?" Hmmm… I was surprised! Then I told the [...]
Many things will get done when you feel a strong sense of urgency. Have you ever done your homework the night before its due date? (I have!) When I looked at the assignment online submission time of my classes last year, more than half assignments were submitted in less than 30 minutes to the deadline. [...]
It's the last day of 2020 today. I took the time to sit down and enjoy some quite time with a nice book and a cup of nice coffee at home. I have been on holiday for two weeks and have spent some time reflecting on what happened around me in this year. Brew a [...]
If I ask you: "what business is McDonald's in?" Then, I guess most people will say that McDonald's is in the fast food business; they sell burgers. Well, this is not entirely true. The most interesting thing I learned last year about finance and business was that a company can have a business that builds [...]
Life is not easy and life does not become any more forgiving and simpler as the years go by. This world was designed to break your heart. But it was never designed to break you in mind and spirit. That decision is up to you. So why then do you choose to remain in your [...]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our university has switched to online teaching and learning since late March 2020. Many people say that the young generation, in particular those who was born after 2000, grew up with digital gadgets and they have adapted to the digital life, almost naturally. If that's the case, then I'd think [...]
I published my first blog post on this web site on 12 Feb, 2017. I just wrote my 100th post last week! Hurray! I am not sure how many words I've written so far. A rough calculation is about 700 words per post. Then, I've just done about 70,000 words for 100 posts. That sounds [...]
