I was taken aback when I was requested to take a DISC analysis test. I thought it’s so old school?
Let me offer my insights:
A DISC analysis is a list of questions that attempts to identify your personality traits. But can it ever be accurate? I don’t think so. Because the answers you give are of [...]
Earlier today, a BNI Chapter President replied an e-mail I sent (the e-mail was about performance of his group, known as the Traffic Light Report).
For this person’s group, it wasn’t particularly good. In fact it was listed as black bad. So obviously he may have been anxious. Hence his reply was that we’ll need to [...]
I have been having some difficulty in selecting seats for my upcoming journey to Hong Kong via Cathay Pacific airlines.
To which I submitted a complaint online to via their website. I received an auto-generated e-mail to acknowledge the complaint I submitted. Here’s the response:

I am in the midst of reading Malcolm Gladwell’s book: Outliers.
Already I am loving this book because some of the discussion by the writer explains clearly how people like Bill Gates succeeded. And it’s not because he flunked out! He did something for up to 10,000 hours.

I am currently in Vietnam doing up a project for a friend of mine and without going into the specifics, I want [...]
Overheard today from a businessman that his mother told him back when he was in school that if he doesn’t study hard and get good grades, he’ll end up picking up trash!
This is when I recalled some years ago my sister-in-law telling her young daughter that if she doesn’t study hard, she’ll end up looking [...]
It’s been more than a month since my last article. Somehow I had lost my mojo and my mind refused to issue ideas, if you could believe it.
So, I am hoping to pick up again, though I don’t know where to begin.
Maybe I’ll start with something easy and then move on and pick up momentum [...]
I have recently read a book titled: Blink – The power of thinking without thinking by Malcolm Gladwell.
In this book, the author describes a couple of case studies of how people can develop the ability to make a sound and fundamental decision within 2-seconds! It’s called: Blink! Blink and make a decision.

I attended a program some years back called the Landmark Forum where I learned about basic human thinking and feeling.
For most of the part, an average human will base his entire existence on these two lines:
