2024/07/11

It is not entrepreneurship if there isn't any hardship along the journey. For Sha, a podcast hosted by three ladies quickly brewed into something they never would have expected. But Sha kind of saw it coming. She knew the importance of having contracts between the three of them in order to protect themselves.And I think by reading this you would know what had caused the fallout.

Her relentless entrepreneurial spirit helped her brave through the ups and downs of the businesses and she knew pivoting was essential at one point.Say What SG is a podcast based in Singapore and she has her own fair share of guests who talk about life's lessons in a touching way that anyone can walk away having learnt something new.

One thing I learnt from this conversation is that our friends may not be the best business partners, but business partners can turn out to be the best friends in our lives.Sha and her business partner made this sound simple when her business partner decided to step in and hold the fort for her when she was ill.

If there is one thing I learnt from Sha about starting a business, it is to start it properly with legal contracts. The contracts are there to protect us during tough times. It was a conversation I needed to really get The Decode Diary up to speed and a legal business. This conversation came in at the right time. Sha is such a kind and lovely nanny, as she calls herself, but also a wonderful friend. If you listen to the entire conversation, you will find out how she left the Ministry of Education

Snippet: The Real Reason He Quit Singapore Airlines

The Decode Diary ·

2024/07/04

For Prateep, staying in an industry for 6-7 years is a long time and if he didn't make the jump to quit, he would stay in the same role in the same company forever. I think this speaks for most working class. But there has to be a push factor for him to throw in the letter. Or a pull factor. I asked Prateep out of curiosity.Listen to the full conversation to find out: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3xsSqoJXU6mDz32TmcfdXo?si=dAjy4mViRraHDz9DCmcIwg

I took the opportunity to ask Prateep if he has dealt with difficult passengers because we all know it, there have to be Karen passengers somewhere on planet Earth. Surprisingly, he gave an unexpected answer.The answer was that it is more difficult to deal with colleagues and other flight attendants. Do you work with difficult colleagues too?

Snippet: Going On Social Media Is A Strict No!

The Decode Diary ·

2024/07/02

Posting on social media, for flight crew, requires permission from their higher-ups. Understandably, this is to protect the image and reputation of the company. For a lot of the flight attendants, their previous lifestyle of posting beautiful photos of them shift once they start their job. It was the same for Prateep. However, it wasn't a big deal. It probably matters more to those who post on social media for a living.What do you think of this policy? Listen to the full conversation here:

For many, working in the airline industry is a dream job, specifically as part of the flight crew for obvious reasons. For Prateep, however, the perks and benefits are nice-to-haves, but not the reason he would stay for. While the company is not the main reason, he saw it that he would not be in the same industry for the years to come, especially when he is entering the prime age of starting a family. Eventually, he made the decision to quit. He did it with no backup plan of what to do next. This

Snippet: Can We Handle Trauma With Mindfulness?

The Decode Diary ·

2024/06/27

I sat down with Johnny to understand if we are able to cope with traumas using mindfulness. For so long, my view on mindfulness is that it helps us detach from emotions, but more often than not, most of us are humans and cannot skip away emotions. We will feel it some day or sooner.Johnny was spot on that mindfulness does not cure emotions, but simply it is a practice that helps us understand what is going on around us. Sometimes traumatic events happen and we can only feel the outcome. To those

2024/06/26

It is ultimately how we perceive the matters around us that shapes us who we are. Depending on our mindset, an ordeal can turn into an experience that teaches you grit and persistence. On a smaller scale, if we view minor events as unforgivably serious occasions, we are likely to always feel stressed and strained. Here, only we know our surroundings. Nobody can tell us what our world looks like, except ourselves. I think it's true, there are times I were in a situation where my friends or

Snippet: Habituation Of Our Minds Is The Root Cause...

The Decode Diary ·

2024/06/24

The special thing about our minds is that it tends to habituate. It is the act of our minds to make or become used to something. It does not take more to understand why. It simply happens because our body tries to resist pain. We tend to stay in our "comfort zone".Speaking to Johnny about habituation made me realize how corporate culture is meant to put us in situations we will never want to leave. Some would argue this is how we all earn money. By creating boring systems. I totally get

Johnny came on to the show several episodes ago and the topic of mindfulness was so interesting that I invited him for a second time to talk to us about emotions, especially at work. If you have gone onto a vacation before, you must have experienced post-trip depression and it does not feel nice. I try to dive deeper to understand what goes on in our minds when we feel bad about

Snippet: Cancer Patients Are Not Strong!

2024/06/22

To Giri, cancer patients are not that strong after all. "Half the time we don't know what is going on!" was what he said and I think it is true. But I think the strength to live on treatment after treatment still needs to be there because the pain after each treatment can be unbearable. Listen to Giri's story and you will know how the treatments are almost intolerable. Being labelled as strong may sometimes throw some cancer patients off, because it is easy to say those words when

The Decode Diary ·

2024/06/21

It was a 7-week cancer treatment involving chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Listening to his experience revealed to me the courage one has to have to go through the treatment. Radiotherapy had him at his worst. The 7-week period, I believe, made him a totally different person. From a lump on the left side of his neck to cancer-free, from being impatient in life to accepting of everything that happens and from being weak and unable to take care of himself to starting a fitness challenge on social

There were no symptoms when he was diagnosed with it, but starting the treatments meant he had to endure all the pain that came with them. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the latter made his mouth and throat so dry that he had to rely on tubes to sustain himself. For 7 weeks, he had to tell himself "One day at a time". I cannot

Because they fly so frequently and are always out and about, I would presume that they can make friends easily. And they are adept at maintaining relationships too. It turns out that they are probably the people who would lose the most number of friends if I had to count.For some, being a "low maintenance" friend works. But it might not be that effective when you are rarely seeing your friends when life goes on. Relationships are all about sharing parts of life. Let's hear from
