How to Prioritise Effectively 101

 


This is a 120 % super effective way to prioritise your time each and every day as well as weekly, monthly and so on.

Spend a good 15 minutes taking stock of everything going around you, and for company bosses, this is so important, it requires reading, absorbing, making changes and then DOING.

I will start with myself.

Wish me the very best of  implementations.

The Meaning of Life

 



This is a revelation which has been decades in the making ; The meaning of Life. It is practised by the very successful as well as countless ordinary people in all walks of life without some of them (I speculate) knowing. 

The meaning of life is intertwined with the purpose of life. You need to find your purpose or goal in life. That will be the start point. It is different for each and every one of us ; but the fundamentals are the same ; Set the goals as early as you can ; I recall setting them when I hit 40 years of age.

  SERVE YOURSELF

> Set your life goals ; clearly (financial, family, health, personal and relationships for example)

> Achieve them either fully or partially. There will come a point where you say, I have enough.

Ensure you have set aside so much for your retirement nest egg for you and your partner for example for the next say 20 years. 

  SERVE OTHERS

> Help others who are not so fortunate or determined set and achieve their life goals too. 


In the process of helping others focus on their life's purpose and uplifting their condition you will find meaning in yours too.

That to me is the meaning of life.

Its simple yet it is most profound as the goals you set are intertwined with those around you, and your challenges which you face on a daily basis.

Many people have done so, like my parents. When the time comes when their health challenges or other aspects of life overcome their ability to serve their ownsevles and they lose that ability, they say, OK my work is finished.

Carpe Diem.

Fear

 


This took me a while to fully grasp its meaning. Face your ultimate fear, be it death, bankruptcy, business failure, loss of face, divorce, death ending diseases, breakups from loved ones, declining health - whatever keeps you awake at night.

Face it and make yourself believe that no matter what you will overcome it. You will strive and strive and strive, learn, adapt, be better smarter and stronger. In time, you will find that your greatest fear is no longer anything but something you have to beat.  And you will. 

In doing so, once you have beaten it ; you no longer have that fear. 

Its all in your mind. 

Conquer your fear.

And be Free.

Happy 27th Andrew !

 


Celebrating Andrew's Sweet 16th at Wooloomooloo Restaurant at Raffles City (2013)

2 days ago, my younger son Andrew celebrated his 27th birthday in Brisbane Australia. We wished him via social media and through Whatsapp. Here is a photo of his 16th taken some 11 years ago, time surely flies. 

Time has indeed been very kind to my family and I ; we have 2 grown lovely young men striking out in the working world, with all their future laid out for them.

May the good Lord bless Andrew and Noel with all the good health, happiness, family ties and some wealth in this world.

Do good and it will be repaid in multiples.

Carpe Diem.  







Last Push till end 2024 !

 




There is barely 2 months left of 2024. As I look back, I feel grateful that our Labs are at 90% capacity and my staff are well trained, motivated and hungry for more orders. The goals have been set very clearly and we push toward achieving the targets set. No ifs no buts no nothing. 

The word on the street is that a recession is imminent within the next 12 months as envisaged in the inversion of the long term bond yields as compared to the short term bond yields in Singapore's T Bills. No one seems to notice it ; or wants to make capital on it.

I will do the necessary ; get on with achieving what is needed on the business front, make investments to get that secondary income stream a reality and press on.
