A dark day

Its a dark day for all Singaporeans at the end of a dark week.

The passing of our founding father Lee Kuan Yew in the 50th year of the independence of Singapore made it more significant to all of us who would not be able to enjoy all that we see around us if not for this great man who fought for our country and us throughout his entire life.

In mourning him over the pass week, all news outlets and in social media, people were interested in his life, giving thanks, and more importantly looking to the future. To understand the past, fight hard in the present so that future generations can continue to living the legacy of our forefathers like Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.

One of the most profound question : What is the meaning of life?

Mr. Lee showed us the way by living a life worth living and leaving behind no regrets.

Thank you LKY. A true inspiration to all Singaporeans.

Onward Singapore!

Work woes

First time my colleague got layed off. Its an awkward situation that I feel difficult to work around. The feeling when u know that boss is gonna fire her, but you cannot say anything. You wonder if you could have done better that made better use of her and help communications be better between colleagues. Maybe if I had checked in with my colleagues more often, I could have prevent it from happening.

I read that to be a businessman or entrepreneur, you cannot be afraid to let PPL go. But being able to build a team and let it grow is very impt too.

I have still a long way to go to improve my communication and team building skills. And most importantly, I must not fear confrontation. That is something I fought with myself my entire life and maybe for the rest of my life too. Fighting!
