How You Can Be a Toast for Change

Many people confided to me that business is getting tougher, cost of doing business and living continue to go up while business is stagnant or even declining. Guess what is the answer I told them? Good! Let's make a toast for change.

Insanity is defined as doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result. You need to make changes, and the following 7 changes that all employees must make if they too want to be successful:

From Reactive to Creative, that is, no more waiting for things to happen and instead make things happen. You can just start small, the important thing is to get going and the rest will follow
From Routine to Surprise. You cannot go through the routine and expect customers to buy from you. You need to make a surprise, like iPhone 6, which is actually bendable and won't break when you put it inside your pocket
From Old Knowledge to New Knowledge. Everyone must acquire new knowledge everyday, and if you want to get at least 30 ideas a week, come for our weekly courses at here

From Blaming to Taking Responsibility. Stop blaming the economy and instead pick up the phone and start taking action
If you can do all of the above, you will change from highly stressed to highly successful. But first of all, you need to learn how mindful strategies to reduce your stress. Come for this newest course that's worth thousands - Mindfulness for Stress Reduction

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

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...
