The Little Big Person

My daughter ask me " Which mind is cleaner, a man or a woman"s". The answer, a woman, because she changes her mind every now and then about things.
Strange for a girl of 9 to ask theses questions. No, these days, they are like that, 9 going 16. My son likes to read cook book and would tell me all the ingredients needed to that meal and he also like gardening, he is 6.
In case, we forget, our children are growing faster then we were and they are learning more. But, will they be as strong as us when they are grown up?
Some of us grown up supporting ourselves through school and so on, we are tumble and learnt the hard way. We know we are strong when we eat adversity for breakfast; like a boxer we get up, and carry on punching until we drop.
Now the challenge, how do we translate our skills to them so that they are tough mentally, we need to shore shore up our precious strawberry generation..........
I leave you with a saying, "when the going gets tough, the tough gets going......"

A New Journey Begins

I am now into a new business, business consulting, I see myself as a matchmaker for my clients and their networks to find solutions. These solutions will make the business more efficient and improve their bottom line through cost savings....


Well, I am not here to brag about how well I will do and so on rather to touch on the start of a new journey.


I have expanded my comfort zone rather than to say moving out. I worked for a couple of MNCs for around 13 years, and during this time efforts gone unrecognized, and promotion given to people, but me. I struggled to internalize why I was not given the top post? Well, after much disscussion and explanations, it was, " this has nothing to do with your ability, it is a personal preference."


I am sure I am not the only one who has endured this, and will never be the last. I have decided that I will not let this event control my life and I can do better than before. So, I came out to build a my own future, challenge myself to build the consulting business to be the biggest in Singapore and then in Asia Pacific. I am not out of this world to have a such a lofty ambition, as they say aim for the moon, and if you can get the stars, it is not too bad either.


I will leave you with this thought, " After the rain, comes the rainbow"........


Let the journey Begin
