Why we live?

We were wrong! Life is not just about earning wages and surviving.

We should not be blamed, as the idea of mere survival has been passed down through the ages.

Our ancestors worked the land and integrated into society.

From one generation to the next, what greater value is there than teaching our children to work for better pay to meet their material needs?

It's not about fast cars, branded goods, high-tech gadgets, or fleeting relationships. Have you ever wondered what your true value is on this earth?

To some, they may already feel like winners and successful, but to others, their lives may seem insignificant.

To those unrecognized heroes, let me assure you that you were mistaken... Heroes don't possess superpowers.

Heroes don't have genius brains.

It's about how we touch lives with our little smiles, small donations, love for all living things, care for those in need, a simple call to mom or dad, a prayer to God, the space we give others to make their day, the opportunity we provide for others to take credit.

All these small things will ultimately define our days when we depart from this world. So start doing them, bit by bit. It doesn't matter how small our actions may seem.

Blue ocean vs Green Ocean

Technologies have accelerated the "cloning" effect in the business environment. How does one sustain themselves in this rapid "Me Too" landscape? Blue oceans inevitably turn red; how many wars must you win and how many battles can you handle?

The Green Ocean strategy involves creating an ecosystem within the organization. Each department should integrate artificial intelligence systems to manage and sustain themselves, akin to the self-regulating ecology of a Green Lake.

Companies collapse due to outdated structures that rely heavily on centralized control from top-level management. A single ill-considered decision can fatally disrupt business operations.

Attempting to model new innovative directions within existing organizations often remains a myth, even with supposedly foolproof matrices. It's akin to testing new drugs with high hopes and crossed fingers.

Natural forces inevitably take their toll (cost). Over time, humanity autonomously develops new cultures and life patterns, leading to evolutionary needs. Organizations must anticipate these changes with robust monitoring systems at every touchpoint.

Neglecting to address evolving needs accumulates into an invisible gap that can derail companies. The crucial link that organizations should focus on is bridging the gap between external and internal individual units.

Despite abundant data and market intelligence, many companies are overwhelmed and unable to discern... (to be continued

Solitaire Night with a cup of Pu-er Tea

Hundreds year ago, I wonder… maybe someone there like me sitting in deep dark night enjoying a cup of Pu-er while writing some thought and feeling, he may use paper and ink and I with the keyboard and who know many years to come I wonder there are someone doing the same in a cold night like today.

It is a hectic day since 2009, today is my very first off day. Yet again technology never leaves me alone as I still received SMS regarding some work matter.

My jobs environment opens me to see many faces and walk of life, their story always remind me that we tend to lose the true track of life by running and chasing off track into the materialistic world.

Young kids have tons of homework and heavy schedule of tuition while adults keep on meeting month end without even spend time to take a true reflection on the meaning of life.


Coming back to my tea…

My first brew of tea was just nice but my second brew of tea is bitter as I am too into typing here and over look the timing of brewing, it is the same… how I “surviving” rather than “living”… sigh… how I miss the good old days.

I never like “today”, it is so cold in all people faces.

I wonder where all those warm smile and friendly look gone?

I never like “today”, it is about status, money and who’s who?

I wonder who really care once we are gone?

In contrast...

I like “today” technology for allowing us to reach many and make us stay in touch.

I wonder will these all make us a better society?

I like “today” new thinking as liberation of thought and sharing are far easier now.

I wonder will these make us more civilize or still the same old barbarian?

Let us stop for a while and enjoy a cup of tea, have some reflection and deep thought about our life.

Ignorance & violence only make us all fail as mankind and civilisation no longer serve any meaning.
