I Ask Myself These 7 Power Questions Today

Questions are the answers, and smart people don't ask smart questions but empowering questions, questions that give you more power. 

 So on this first day of 2017, I ask myself these 7 powerful questions:
  1. Do you truly want 2017 to be better than 2016?  If so, do you have the plans to make it happen?  
  2. Are you committed to doing things that you find uncomfortable, but will bring you results for 2017?
  3. Are you working on strategic opportunities, or are you still looking out for transactional opportunities?
  4. Is your boss going to help you get what you want?  Can you ask your boss for more?  If you are the boss, is your team helping you to achieve your goals?  Can you get better team and ask for more results from them?
  5. Are you resolved to spend your valuable time and resources with truly good opportunities for improvement?
  6. Will you listen more to your customers, your boss, your colleagues, your vendors and people that will help you in your work?  Will you engage them with questions, rather than try to prove your capabilities with your wonderful knowledge?
  7. Will 2017 be the same as 2016?  or Worse that 2016?  It all depends on what you have set yourself up to.  For me, 2017 will be a big jump from 2016, because the seeds that I planted in 2016 will begin to see fruits in 2017 and beyond. Like going to China, Cambodia, Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia for training and consulting projects.  Related articles:

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot
