How Google Hide a Dagger Behind Its Smile to Yahoo!

When Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin invented a search engine in 1998, their idea was to sell their technology to an existing IT company.
At that time Yahoo! was the number one search engine in the world, followed by others like AltaVista and AskJeeves. But no one wants to buy Google's search engine as it was unknown. 
During this time, Yahoo! was busy evolving itself into a media company on the net, and they need to outsource their search engine service to a contractor. They found Inktomi.

Before Yahoo could appoint Inktomi as their search engine contractor, the Google's founders made a bold move. 
Google's Larry and Sergey made a proposal to Yahoo! They told Yahoo!, smilingly, that they can do the search engine for Yahoo!  "Why should I pass it to you when you are a nobody?", asked Jerry Yang, CEO of Yahoo!
Google said that they will help Yahoo! to become more successful in media because Google's search engine will be very simple - just a blank search bar with no ads and no media.
"We will do our search engine differently from Inktomi. Because we don't want to be a media company, we just want to do searches. Yahoo's CEO Larry Yang was happy because he had found a contractor that can support him and yet will not pose any threat to his business.
By hiding their proposal behind a smile, Yahoo! replaced Inktomi with Google. Because of the fact that Yahoo! was the no. 1 search engine in the world, when Yahho used Google as its search engine, Google became the no. 1 search engine overnight.

What an Executive Coach and Business Coach Does

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...
