They Laugh When They See Me Addicted to my Smartphone...But When they See Me Smile...

With people using their smartphones (and tablets) on average over 3 hours a day, that's even more than the amount of time people spend on their home computers and TVs.  But only 9% of the time (16 minutes) is on talking, the bulk of the time (72% or 2 hours) is on instant communications, especially group and private messaging on Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook, Line and WeChat).  Many people wonder if we have become slaves or addicted to our smartphones as many people carry them even inside the water closets.  However to us, the smartphone is just a tool, it is neither good or bad.  We can make ourselves smarter with our smartphones in the following 7 ways:
  1. Learn something new every day by reading blogs, seminar write-ups, news analysis, commentaries and TED videos; 
  2. Become a Guru instantly by broadcasting to others our unique thoughts on current events.  For example, I posted on my facebook the biggest disappointment of the year: the Samsung Galaxy S5 and immediately got recognised as the expert;
  3. Love your families and friends by keeping in touch with them constantly via your Whatsapp, Facebook and Weibo accounts;
  4. Tune in to the latest news that's happening by the minute, and never have to read newspapers again (other than advertisements for good deals and news analysis);
  5. Discover new ways things are done, be it entertainment, school work or 'how-to' series via YouTube videos and AppleDaily; 
  6. Read full books (at 50% discount) and book samples (for free) on Google's Play Books app.  You can read over 10 books a month or 120 books a year easily with such convenient tools; 
  7. Get non-stop inspiration and motivation with apps that push positive messages to you on the go.
In fact, if you use your smartphone in the right ways, your 3-hours usage is not addiction but lifelong continuous learning, which is what life is about, right?  So go ahead and use your smartphone more!  Note: our company is now giving out the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 worth S$328 free to every 5 seats registered.  Click here to see the full courses or email to us.

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...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
