Doing the 6 Things that You're Supposed to Be Doing

As we know, a great man is not one that does great things but one that does greatly in what he is supposed to be doing. We all know what are the right things to do, but due to work pressures and meeting the demands of others, we tend to divert our focus. If you're reading this newsletter, I hope to inspire you to do the following 6 things so that you can be happier at work:

Do the best for the day, and not wait for another day to come. This means not holding back and give it your all
Continuously upgrade your skills, attitudes and knowledge. One good way is to get someone outside (like a Trainer) to challenge your thinking. For if you change your thinking, your life will change
Improve your inter-personal skills. Know how to empathize with people and not just push your way through. Have high self-awareness and equip yourself with EQ and profiling skills
Know how to be tough. Get driven and be tough to take tough actions. Know that different situation calls for different action and sometimes the toughest action to take is to take no action and wait for a better timing!
Have inner peace of mind and not rely on external stimuli to make yourself happy. For external stimuli are never enough but inner peace is non exhaustible. One good way to do is to read good materials like this blog
Be ready for the worst but plan for the best. Most people do the opposite: they plan for the worst and not ready for the worst, and they end up unable to survive.

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...
