How to Be Happy Every day Every Time, Everywhere and with Everyone

How to Be Happy Every day Every Time, Everywhere and with Everyone

1. Lower your expectations and requirements of others.  

When I serve my customers and prospects, I do not expect anything from them other than to try my best to answer their questions and clear their doubts.  

I often tell people to go back and consider again before they commit.  And when they are ready to buy, I ask them, 'Are you are going ahead?"  Some will be shocked and ask me why I ask this question.  

My answer is, "I want you to be sure of wanting to purchase this out of your own will, not because of me or anything else because I want long-term recurring patronage from all my customers, at least for the next 3 months to a year. 

2. Face Everything in Life with a Normal Heart

Whether something is good or bad, I face it normally, as if I am not in the picture.  When I won 2-years in a row for my company's top sales (individual and team), many people congratulated me.  My reply was simply, 'thanks'.  To me being the top or bottom is not important, what is important is are they in line with my values.  

3. Don't care too much about other people's opinions about You, and you'll live a very relaxed life.  

Even if people smog or ridiculed you for doing silly things, or they praise you out of nothing, just ignore because I know deep inside I am not silly and I am also not so special to deserve praise for nothing.  

What do You think? How do you get to be happy every day, every time, everywhere and with everyone?

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...
