Stop Imparting and Start Inspiring

Many training courses tout themselves as having the latest ideas, strategies and thinking that will put you ahead of your peers.  Some of them are conducted by gurus who claimed to be able to 'give us 8 hours and we'll change you'.  Sounds pretty impressive! 

 We know that having more knowledge will not make you more successful.  Because if this is so, why are the professors not among the top earners in our society?  In fact talking to people from all walks of life reveal that we're living in an over-information age: people are now being immobilized with too much information.  

 It is apparent that what move people is not more information but inspiration.  Inspiration is getting people to do what they want to do because they want to do it.  When you are inspired to do things, you do it even when there is no reward and no punishment for not doing it.  That is true inspiration.

 Do not confuse inspiration with creativity and innovation, for inspiration is just having internal push and may not result in a new creation or innovation.  The following are the top 5 ways that leaders can inspire their people:
  1. Empowering Vision that pulls people forward
  2. Clear Lines of Vision between the Organization's goals and the Individual's goals
  3. Strong sense of purpose: service to others is the highest purpose
  4. Strong sense of Fairness in the Distribution of Rewards
  5. Validation of people's worth and contribution to the organization
In short, if you as a leader are not inspiring people, you are perspiring people and soon they will be expired.  Inspiration is not just talk but action, so get into action and inspire your people to greater heights!

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

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
