It's the People That Makes the Difference

A Letter from my heart:

Dear all friends,

Over the last 2 months, I have been approached by 10 friends, each with very interesting business proposals. Some of them have business proposals that span the globe and run into millions of dollars of income. Others are more subdue, but none of them conflicts with what I am doing now - coaching and training.

After thinking for 2 nights with some meditations, I conclude that I have to evaluate each proposal not based on how attractive they are in terms of money and business models, but what type of people that I am working with. 

Without a pinch of doubt, I only can work with people that share the same values and philosophies as me. I am not interested in just making money, there must also be meaning in the way I make the money. Also, the business must contribute to mankind, and not just some ideas to take advantage of opportunities. That's why I think these 5 businesses I will never deal with: computerized trading, gambling, medicine that harms people, night entertainment and alcohol. There are 5 businesses that are top of my list:
  1. Education, especially those that transform people and give them a lifeline
  2. Sales and Marketing, anything that helps a business to do better in sales and marketing
  3. People empowerment, anything that empowers employees and make their work safer and easier
  4. Entertainment, those that are wholesome and interesting, not boring stuff
  5. Engineering solutions, because I believe engineering improves our lives
If you and your businesses fall under the above 5 list, I would be working with you closely. Any businesses that are outside this list, but within my values and philosophy, I will also be working hard with you. Hope this clarifies. Thank you

With love from Andy Ng, Chief Trainer Coach, www.asiatrainers.com

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.
