31 Reasons to Use WeChat

31 Reasons to Use WeChat

Many people resisted using WeChat. Why use another app when WhatsApp and Facebook are so good already?  There are 31 reasons to use WeChat:

1.  We know that as of today, China has started to recover from the Covid Pandemic. People expect China's economy to rebound this year. If you don’t do business with China, who can you do business with? The people from China only use WeChat and nothing else.  It is best that you use WeChat. 

 2.     You get to know people outside your usual circle of friends in Facebook, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp.  This WeChat circle of people is very familiar with Chinese ways of doing business, an essential skill today

 3.     You get a brand new mini-website called Official Account for free and you can use this to market your business FOC

 4.    You don't need to download so many apps as what you need are already inside WeChat. This saves you so much time and space on your phone.  The common applications that everyone uses include video and photo editing, QR code scanner, payment platforms, news, video sites, music, karaoke, health, air tickets, train tickets, hotel bookings, taxi bookings, and et Cetra.

5.    You can make payments, transfer and receive money using WeChat Pay.  No need to fumble with bank account numbers and bank charges.  (note: to use WeChat Pay, you need to open a bank account in China). 

 6.    You get a free QR code scanner inside WeChat

 7.    You can watch many videos for free inside WeChat's mini-program called Tencent Video

 8.     You know there are not one, but 26 ways to add friends on WeChat

 9.     You can always add strangers as your friends on WeChat, including people that are up to 5,000 km away from you

 10.  You save on data and battery life as WeChat is more efficient than WhatsApp by 2 to 3 times

 11.  You won't be watching long videos in your WeChat Moments newsfeed as they are limited to 30 seconds

 12.  You still can send and receive videos of up to 5 minutes long in WeChat messages. 

 13.  You know the value of give first then take in WeChat through this function of Red Packets

 14.  Your phone number is never revealed on WeChat, giving you much-needed privacy

 15.  No one on this earth can add you as a friend without your acceptance. This is so unlike WhatsApp, where people can simply message you if they know your mobile number. In WeChat, no one knows your mobile number 

 16.  WeChat has very strict censorship rules that help you keep safe from unwanted messages and calls

 17.  You know that WeChat is backed by one of the top 13 highest value companies in the world called Tencent Holdings Limited. 

 18.  You also know that WeChat is backed by China, the world’s 2nd largest economy and the top spender in the world

 19.  You can simply add many people to your contacts by asking them to scan your WeChat QR code. They can also scan your QR code without you in front of them

 20.  There is a free fitness tracking app inside WeChat. Just follow this Official Account called "We-Run"

 21.  You can read the latest news on WeChat under Top Stories in ‘Discover’ page

 22.  You can maintain top-of-the-mind recall in your WeChat friends by using the ‘Wow’ function in ‘Top Stories’

 23.  You can do a video conference with your group members (up to 9) free-of-charge on WeChat

 24.  WeChat has a search function and you can search for not just news, but also messages, friends, articles, videos, songs, and even comments inside WeChat

 25.  With 1.13 billion users as of January 2020, WeChat only has 10% of its users outside China. This makes WeChat a high-growth app

 26.  WeChat started later than the rest, and its functions take the best from other apps including WhatsApp and Line

 27.  You can easily translate 21 languages on WeChat.  There is no excuse that you don't know how to use WeChat because you don't know how to read and write Chinese 

 28.  WeChat users can change their known names anytime. This makes WeChat very useful in starting or joining Group chats

 29. Everyone says that China has already risen and China's Belt and Road Initiative is something we must get in or be left out. China only users WeChat and not Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, YouTube, WhatsApp, Line, Snapchat, Spotify, Gmail and Facebook Messenger

 30. WeChat also has Snapchat-alike function called ‘Time Capsule’ where you can post a 15-seconds long video on your album for 24 hours

 31. Using WeChat Channel, you can upload up to 30 minutes long video.  WeChat will, based on your video content relevancy, will push your video to the community of WeChat users, many of whom are not your WeChat Friends.  For example, my video on 'Amyer Abadawn, Singapore Malay musician wrote many Chinese songs' has over 1.8K views in just 5 hours.  This feat is remarkable and also boosted my WeChat profile tremendously.

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
