Re-Opening and You: The Top 7 Things to Know from 1 April 2022

From 1 April 2022, Singapore has re-opened and life is almost back to pre-COVID days, except for the need to mask up in indoors and do contact tracing.

What it Means:
1. Online activities like Zoom meetings, zoom training, etc will become less attractive (except for overseas people). People prefer physical meetings. If you throw in FREE meals, your attendance is guaranteed to be higher than others.

2. Expect jams and delays in transport, and people may resort to online meetings to avoid delays and reduce transit time

3. Networking events, trade shows, exhibitions, and road chows will resume. People can once again replenish their database with real people with real contacts

4. Online Scams will be reduced because people's online time is reduced. But frauds and scams involving physical meetings and buyers remorse will increase. This is because people will be tempted to make hasty decisions at physical events (e.g. buy expensive training courses after attending a FREE preview).

5. Entertainers and the entire entertainment industry will once again gain their glory days.Getai will be as popular as ever, as watching live shows is more enjoyable than watching YouTube Live

6. Work from home will be the for the minority (at least for now, 75% can work not from home). This means companies will have higher need for physical activities, eg birthday celebrations, announcements and town hall meetings.

7. Tourism, aviation, and leisure industries will experience huge growth, anything from 30% to 75% growth. Be ready to pay for more for such things as these industries have suffered too long and they need to now make the most to make up for the shortfall in the past 2 years.

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?

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
