Ask Not What Your Company Can Give to You, Ask What You Can Give to Your Company

"My fellow Americans, ask not what America can do for you, ask what you can do for America. My fellow international friends, ask not America can do for the world, ask what the world can do for America". Such were the inspiring words of President Kennedy.

"My fellow team members, ask now what the company can do for you, ask what you can do for your company. My fellow customers, ask now what this company can do for you, ask what you can do for this company". Such were the inspiring words of my boss.

Indeed, what can You as an employee do for your employer? There are at least 5 things that you can do:

1. Give your employer a good name, and never leave a bad name in whatever you do
2. Give your employer a fair good 8 hours of work, not 7 hours of work and 1 hour of facebooking and twitting.
3. Give your employer the respect that they deserve, like treat the company's assets with care.
4. Give your employer a chance to prove to You that they are a good employer, don't jump to conclusion that your employer is no good and jump to another employer. Everyone needs time to improve, right?
5. Give your employer all that you have, don't hold back anything. For when you give your all, the company will pass some, if not all, the benefits to you.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment.
