On losing opportunities

Continuous improvement ·

2022/02/09

When I was in a leadership training course, the lecturer asked us to consider how we could better our community in light of the present covid19 problems. It might be anything from urging folks to keep their distance in social situations to wearing masks and exercising more frequently. He encouraged individuals to get up and express their opinions after five minutes of silence, during which everyone thought about the subject separately. As a result, there was complete silence. There was no one

On being too quiet around strangers

Continuous improvement ·

2022/02/08

I am often too quiet to speak up in front of strangers when I am sitting in front of them. During company meetings with senior management and various stakeholders, many coworkers dial into the virtual call. The director would frequently ask everyone if they had any questions by the end of the meeting. The majority of the time, everyone falls silent. Even in a physically friendly gathering, the situation will not improve, as the boss will dominate the conversation, telling us all of his anecdotes

Difficult to approach others

Continuous improvement ·

2022/02/07

I was surrounded by strangers the last time I went to a networking event in a hotel as a guest, and I didn't know anyone there. Some people appeared to know one another and continued to chat, while others stood around playing with their phones. My intention in attending the event was to meet new people and extend my social circle. Instead of attempting to approach people, I sat in the corner, distant and quiet. A couple sat next to me later, and I felt both excited and relaxed. Perhaps I should

Social anxiety

Continuous improvement ·

2022/02/06

We may use our social abilities to build connections, influence decisions, and push people to change. In a class, though, I was encouraged to approach some people, but social anxiety came to mind. Fear had taken hold of me. When the speaker asked for volunteers to speak up and ask for questions, no one raised their hands, and no one dare to share their opinions on stage. Social skills would be a crucial talent for me to develop and improve, as a lack of them would significantly negatively impact my

Small social circle

Continuous improvement ·

2022/02/05

I have a small social network as an ex-pat working and living in a foreign nation. Most of my pals live in my home country, although I communicate with them daily through my work. This group of friends is too small for me, and it would endanger my life. Last time, I was forced to move out of my apartment due to unexpected lease termination and needed to find a new home to stay in immediately. I didn't have many buddies who could assist me. I had no notion which areas were desirable or how to find a

Uncomfortable around others

Continuous improvement ·

2022/02/04

Have you ever felt uneasy speaking in front of a group of people? I am nervous when I have to face an audience, whether large or small. This fear is natural, and almost everyone has this phobia. I didn’t realise this fear until I had to give a speech at a conference.---This is a chapter of my book: The Dilemmas of Life: How to overcome the dilemmas and live a better lifeGet a full copy now on Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHXLD4G This is a public episode.

My ideal family

Continuous improvement ·

2022/02/03

After exhausting all of my energy at work, my dream family would be a location where I could recharge. On weekends, I would spend valuable time with my partner doing something we both enjoy, learning something new, travelling, or trying out a unique experience that would provide us with great memories to share. Without the distractions of phones or a job deadline, this is when we are physically and mentally together.---This is a chapter of my book: The Dilemmas of Life: How to overcome the dilemmas

An unexpected love that turned awry

Continuous improvement ·

2022/02/02

I was 28 years old at the time, and she was possibly 32. In any case, the difference is only a conjecture on my part. I've never known the actual number because I've never inquired. Age is a well-guarded secret for women, and they are so concerned about it that it is impolite to ask. My best guess is that she's a year or two older than me. However, I'm not sure if Asian women stay in shape and age gracefully.---This is a chapter of my book: The Dilemmas of Life: How to overcome the dilemmas and live

Think before I act

2022/02/01

I went insane when my girlfriend, Joanne, broke up with me. With depression, I was acting incredibly emotional. It's possible that if I could think before I act, try to heal the relationship rationally, and behave strategically, my life would be very different.Instead, I was going insane, and every step I took was damaging to us. I was about to get down on my knees and ask Joanne's forgiveness. I had hoped that my actions and honesty would persuade her to change her view, but it did not. It did more

What money cannot buy

2022/01/31

"Money is not everything," my mother used to say, "but everything needs money”, that’s her mantra when I was a youngster. How true is this statement? This principle is the financial education I received from my mother. I didn't understand it at the time because I was too young, but as I grew older, I realized her wisdom.---This is a chapter of my book: The Dilemmas of Life: How to overcome the dilemmas and live a better lifeGet a full copy now on Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHXLD4G This is

Be mature

2022/01/30

Are you single? Are you married? Maybe you're married, but you're still available? Those who are single or married but available realize how difficult it is to find love.I'm a regular user of dating apps like Tinder, Coffee Meets Bagel, OkCupid, Hinge, and so on. Apps for dating are cruel. Allow me to explain how it works. When you see a profile photo, swipe left to reject it and swipe right to connect and communicate with the person. The majority of the time, I simply got rejected and departed. I

On self actualisation

Continuous improvement ·

2022/01/29

Self-actualization is important to us since it improves our well-being and makes our life worthwhile. We have a lot of potentials to tap into, and I'm excited to see what we can do in life. I'd be humiliated if I didn't grow since it would be a waste of time not to see what life has to offer. Not only for myself but also for others. Self-actualization is beneficial to us, but it has a broader meaning. The best in other people, as well as the best in me, must be invoked. A completely personal purpose

On improving our habits

Continuous improvement ·

2022/01/28

We can change our habits and get healthier. Physical, dietary, and mental health are the three aspects of health. Frequent exercise is essential for physical fitness and maintaining a healthy body. Every week, I go for at least thirty minutes jogging along the river. Instead of sitting all day indoors on weekends, I would go cycling or swimming. These activities aid in the release of dopamine in the brain, which helps to regulate our mood and prevent depression. I get too busy or lazy to get out and

Be healthier

Continuous improvement ·

2022/01/27

I honestly believe that working for a better lifestyle is critical. It's a requirement for our professional, relationship, and survival goals in this unpredictable world.If we didn't work hard to attain our values, we'd be embarrassed by ourselves and feel bad about it. We want to be healthier, not for the sake of pleasing others. We're pursuing this goal since the situation we're in appears to need it.---This is a chapter of my book: The Dilemmas of Life: How to overcome the dilemmas and live a

On a positive mindset

2022/01/26

Because my thoughts determine my destiny, having a positive mindset is critical. Our review has the potential to narrow our horizons. I can put in the effort to become a great public speaker, author and take the examinations to become a qualified professional. No one but myself stands in my way of achieving my objectives.---This is a chapter of my book: The Dilemmas of Life: How to overcome the dilemmas and live a better lifeGet a full copy now on Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FHXLD4G This is

Healthy mind, healthy body

Continuous improvement ·

2022/01/25

According to dualism theory, I frequently consider the body and mind to be two distinct entities; mental and physical entities are separate. Reading and exercise, on the other hand, are not mutually exclusive. Fitness can help you grow both your body and mind as one. Our health influences our mental state. At the same time, our thinking has an impact on our health. Our respiration, muscles, immune system, heartbeat, and other bodily functions are continually influenced by our ideas, influencing our

My imposter syndrome, insecurity and depression

Continuous improvement ·

2022/01/24

Imposter syndrome is common among I.T. professionals, and I am one of them. The feeling of personal inadequacy and self-doubt. Working as a software developer for the most prestigious consulting firm at EY made me feel like a phoney. My bachelor's degree did not have a computer science component. My first job was in marketing, which had little to do with information technology. Before being assigned to the banking project, I worked primarily as a frontend javascript web developer. When assigned with

My career transition to software engineer

2022/01/23

In 2014, when I received the letter about my work visa rejection in Australia, it was life-changing. After a year on a working holiday visa, I was fortunate enough to receive an extended job offer from my company to work as a marketing manager in Brisbane, allowing me to continue my stay for at least five more years. Unfortunately, the immigration authorities denied my work visa application. I was disappointed, and the explanation for my visa rejection was that I did not have a solid marketing

My memory in Brisbane

2022/01/22

In 2013, I spent a year working holiday in Australia, and it completely transformed my life. It wasn't anything I anticipated, but life is full of surprises. When I was studying chemistry as an undergraduate in Hong Kong, I knew I wanted to work abroad, but the chances were low. There were few options for exchange, and I was envious of the business school students who could simply fly abroad to study. I travelled to Brisbane for my graduation trip, after finishing my last exam and before officially

My time as an undergraduate student

Continuous improvement ·

2022/01/21

I studied chemistry for three years and earned a bachelor's degree. The greatest conflict at the time was between ideals and reality. In an ideal world, I would be able to devote all of my time to scientific research. I became fascinated with quantum mechanics, which was the most difficult subject I had ever studied. In the microscopic realm, Schrödinger's cat seemed counterintuitive. With several dimensions and multiple variables differentiation equations, the math was extremely complicated.---This
