The Ultimate Secret to Success in Business and in Life

As I learnt from Master Hsing Yun:
A loser is one whose passion lasts only five minutes.  A winner is one whose passion lasts through the final five minutes.

When it comes to business, many define making money as success and losing money as failure.  Scientists define success as proving a theory.  When Argentina lost the World Cup to Germany, some called Argentina losers as they believe that the winner takes it all and the loser stands to fall. 

At least the above beliefs are still better than those who believe success of failure lies in geomancy, destiny, supernational power or some other people's bad intentions. 

In reality the condition of achieving success or failure lies in us - whether we are fully competent or not. 

The businessmen who does market research thoroughly has rich capital resources coupled with good opportunities will undoubtedly yield good profit.  A staff that is well trained who works diligently and passionately with a strong ambition will achieve success in career.  For those that want to know how to work hard, read this article at here

What you plant and how you plough determines what you can harvest.  The effect of what you've received is the result of what you've cultivated.  If you plant banana seeds, you'll get bananas.  Now you can plant seeds of happiness in your workplace in these 7 ways (details at here).  

In short, we are the ones who map out our own success or failure. The condition for attaining success lies in us - whether we are aware of this or not.

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...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
