Respect has to be earned, a Man's word is his bond
Sometimes in life, one learns lessons through school, or in the working world. As a leader and boss of a small SME, it is apparent that people's efforts, loyalty, motivation and morale are due to a multitude of factors. I have been managing a small business which has grown in size over the last 9 years. There are some staff I can call upon as friends, though in business, sometimes conflicts appear. So I was quite shocked to hear that one former staff has no qualms about telling me one thing and doing the complete opposite. I am saddened also that he or she appears to be an upright person with good standing in his / her environment and can resort to desperate tactics to harm the company when I have not done him or her any malice. I am deeply disappointed needless to say. Perceptions about people are about your words and actions.
Business is business, yes of course, but a Man's word is his bond.
We learn who are our true friends eventually. Seize the Day my friends (less 1).

No doubt, I'm a fan of Jeremy Lin.
Imagine, a 23 year old undrafted Harvard graduate, Asian build (read smaller in size than the Amazons of NBA), coming in and scoring 38 points against Kobe Bryant and team members. What s story !
The make takeaway messge I have to all Asian parents is this. Yes, do encourage your kids to study. But education is not always about paper qualifications. Its about PASSION AND LIFE EXPERIENCES, TAKING RISKS after which you learn. So, the earlier one gets into the school of 'hard knocks' and gets up, the better.
This guy so badly wanted to play, he was sitting on the bench on the bottom fishing New York Knicks. And he is a Harvard graduate,mind you, who will have no problems earning US$ 100K and above as a lawyer or legal counsel.
He chose to pursue his dreams and he is now creating waves in he NBA. Seize your dreams and make them reality friends !!
