Tour of Ronald McDonald House Charity at National University Hospital


Thanks Omy Blog Club for the kind invitation to tour Ronald McDonald House Charity facilities at National University Hospital. This was my first time there and I learnt from Ms Judy Chun, Executive Director, Ronald McDonald House Charities, that this is the only Ronald McDonald House in Singapore. 

With Ronald McDonald and other bloggers at the tour

I have noticed the Ronald McDonald House Charity box present at McDonald's outlets but it has never occurred to me where my donations would go and who the beneficiaries are. So really appreciate this arrangement whereby we could meet one of the families that had benefited under this charity scheme and to have them to speak to us in person. Madam Kartini's youngest daughter Syasya Dalili had to undergo the transplant operation and her husband was the donor and she had to take care of both of them as well as her elder daughter Umairah Syafiqah during the hospitalization period. So Madam Kartini was very thankful that she was allowed to stay at one of the rooms at Ronald McDonald House which has a bathroom attached and she could be so near to both her husband and daughter. 

During the sharing session

Tears started to well up in my eyes as I listened to Madam Kartini share her experience. I feel that sometimes we have been living in such a blessed yet busy environment that perhaps we didn't notice the needy families around us? Ronald McDonald House Charity always welcome volunteers. Do check out this link to find out more about how you can volunteer here: http://rmhc.org.sg/index.php/get-involved/rmh-relief-volunteer/

There are 4 rooms at the Ronald MacDonald House at NUH and priority is given to the most needy family based on a points system. The maximum period for each stay is 14 days subjected to review based on a case by case needs basis. These needy families have benefited from the use of Ronald McDonald House while their young children had to undergo hospitalization and the best part is the stay is at no charge to them! There are also meals catered too and the families have benefited from the meals voucher system too. 

Apart from providing a temporary, yet very special “home away from home” for families of ill children undergoing treatment at NUH, Ronald McDonald House also provide wholesome meals for these families staying here. This platform allows families to provide and receive peer support, as well as bonding between staff and volunteers with the families. Do check out this link to find out how you can contribute towards this meaningful scheme: http://rmhc.org.sg/index.php/get-involved/meal-program/

A brand new Ronald McDonald Family Room adjacent to Ronald McDonald House is currently undergoing renovation and will be launched in January 2016 to benefit more needy families! 

I understand from Ms Tan Shu Yan, Manager, Corporate Communications & Customer Care, McDonald's Restaurants Pte Ltd, that as part of McDonald’s McHappy Day efforts this year, S$1 will be donated from every purchase of a Strawberry Sundae from 1 to 15 November to help raise funds and to bring love, hope & courage to children and families supported by Ronald McDonald House Charity Singapore.

GE 2015: Vote For The A Team

What I understood abt GE2015 based on what others say:
Most of the ppl who vote for the men in white are usually those who are rich.
Most of the ppl who vote for opposition are those who are younger or poorer.

My 2 cents observations about General Elections 2015:

Some of the existing ministers are personal friends of the wealthy n it's not surprising if anyone were to vote for your own friends. Many wealthy ppl would prefer stability n would prefer for things not to change cos they don't know what new changes some opposition might bring. Many businessmen don't support the minimum wage suggestion that some opposition is trying to propose so guess the opposition might have lost some votes there. Somehow in our practical society, at the end of the day, it could boil down to $$$ n what's in it for me.

Some younger citizens would prefer change. N those who get left behind further n further n trying to keep up with the rising costs of living vote for the opposition with the hope that something could be done to improve their lives. Some could just be frustrated with the daily issues n inconveniences so they vote for the opposition. N there's always a group of ppl who will definitely vote for the opposition for the sake of opposing, no matter what. Lol. 

Change would be good, if it's for the better...and personally I feel that empathy and the ability to connect with people are really important qualities...cos at the end of the day, most citizens would want to have MPs who can help them to voice their concerns in Parliament and to help to improve their quality of lives...so it's quite sad that some candidates who have been living a privileged life might be pretty out of touch with the struggles and harsh reality that some poorer citizens who are left behind as a society progresses are facing in their daily lives...

What I feel is that I would always want an A Team. N it really depends on which area you stay in, cos clearly the quality of the opposition varies from area to area. So the A team may or may not be the opposition in your area. So I believe it would be wiser to vote for the Better team in your area whom you believe can better serve u n your GRC =) anyway, you and your GRC would be the ones who have to live with this decision for the next few years ya ;p anyway, no names mentioned, but some of the candidates really look n speak like jokers...n i seriously wouldn't wanna be associated with such jokers =.= For me, it's always about the A team =)

If you can guess which parties the rich n those at the other end of the spectrum are gonna vote for, then guess it's the votes of the sandwiched class which could make a difference...

And I have friends who are based overseas who have flown back to Singapore just to immerse themselves in this election fever...truly Singaporean ya =) thumbs up for the Singapore spirit!

Disclaimer: This is not a political blog and this posting is not to induce anyone to vote for any political party. My observations are just my observations...you have the final decision over your vote and I respect your decision. And I didn't state any allegiance to any particular political party, except that I want the best for Singapore and will support the A team and hope that the Better team in each GRC wins =)

Charisma is extremely important in politics n in life...to gain more supporters n followers...some leaders n social media personas are so charming online n in real life...n i can understand why they are so popular...people can forget what you say...but they will never forget how you treat them and how you make them feel...sincerity n authenticity r always valued...at least, i pride on these values over hype...but i guess not everyone thinks likewise in this virtual world...but i always respect other differing opinions =) Not too sure if there are many fashion n beauty bloggers out there who can write convincingly on politics too ;p

Workers' Party's rally situation at Simei just now. It's party carnival atmosphere here and what you see in this photo ain't ants!

Took this photo from the 6th level of a nearby flat while enjoying the great breeze here. I'm honestly getting a headache from the huge crowd here.

Me being me obviously had to walk into the huge crowd to soak in the carnival atmosphere. But yours truly is vertically challenged and such situation don't work to my favor. But I see plenty of people who came here prepared with their stools and chairs.

Photo with one of the most good-looking MPs in early August when I happened to walk past their LKY event in Tampines. Mr. Baey Yam Keng used to be my MP in Tanjong Pagar GRC. Sorry eh, I don't stay in Tampines and can't vote for you. Btw, the same Remembering Lee Kuan Yew exhibition is coming to Tanjong Pagar Community Club very soon =)

I happened to walk past this huge tent in Tampines in early August when someone asked me to join the queue. So me being minion Bob joined the queue out of curiosity. When I shook the Minister's hands, he asked me which block I'm staying at? So me being me, was like: "Block? I don't stay here. I'm from Tanjong Pagar GRC. I happened to walk past" =)

Selfie with Minister Mr. Lim Swee Say at an NTUC event last year and we were told to address him as "Brother" that evening...I was quite surprised and thought there would be plenty of security everywhere but not so...

Saw photos of long queues of people queuing to buy these SG50 commemorative notes, so thought it's really cool that my dad got these notes at the bank on the first day of the launch without queuing at all. The banker just asked him to take a seat before bringing the notes out to him =)


Happened to see this speech...it's pure charisma...honestly, no offence, but I think Dr. Chee Soon Juan would stand a better chance at SMC instead of GRC...You need an A team to win GRC...


I was listening to this while lying on my bed...then i started crying n crying...watch it!

This is unrelated to my post but thought that I will just leave you with the lovely images that I took at the recent Singapore Night Festival...this scene looks like a page from a fairytale...so dreamy n surreal...

This is a nofilter, unedited photo that I took with fairies floating around above me...see those fairydust? how surreal it feels...

The performance in front of SAM...i'm vertically challenged n there were so many ppl who stood in the crowd, holding up all sorts of phones n cameras on selfie sticks n I had to delete away most of the photos taken when I could see almost nothing except their big big screens in my photos

Ex-Mediacorp Artiste Peter Yu plays a Forgiving Dad in upcoming musical production ‘The Search for True Love’


Ex-Mediacorp artiste Peter Yu will play a forgiving dad, along popular artistes like Xiahui and Wallace Ang in the upcoming musical production ‘The Search for True Love’ on 26th July 2015, 7.30pm at the Drama Centre Theatre, National Library. This play will be Yu’s second stage play, after a ten - year break from full-time acting.

The production, managed by New Strings Ministry, will explore the notions of love, kinship and forgiveness. Peter Yu’s son, played by Mediacorp Radio Love 97.2FM’s DJ Wallace Ang, will face his greatest tribulation as he dabbles into some untouched boundaries.

Set in the 70s, theatre patrons will get a chance to relive the iconic settings of popular hang-out places like the Kopi-Tiam and Cabaret. 

Peter Yu, a freelance artiste and taxi-driver said ‘I am indeed very honored to be invited to be part of this musical production. The story, in a way, parallels my life as I was also given a second chance after my wrongdoings. This is my second time dabbling myself into stage acting and I must say I am loving every bit of it. I hope Singaporeans will give me another chance to watch me on this set and understand more about love and life as a whole’. 

Liza Foong, Director and Producer from New String Ministry commented ‘It has been a rough journey putting this stage play together. The actors and crew are not exactly full-time performers. However, we were able to put our act together simply because of the cause we believe; Love trescends everything and we hope to share with our audience about its importance. 

Wallace Ang, Mediacorp Love 97.2 FM DJ, who is acting as the son of Peter Yu, said ‘I am glad to have embarked on this musical journey of love, life, regret and redemption. Hope you’ll join me in this incredibly enriching experience’.

Tribute To Mr. Lee Kuan Yew: Emotional ties don’t come to an end with the passing away of a loved one


Yes, I stay in Tanjong Pagar GRC and Mr. Lee has been my MP even way before I was born. Fast forward to today whereby my neighbourhood has one of the highest rental rates in singapore...n it's not easy for me to walk around the malls here in my tee n shorts without those office crowds staring at me...Thank you Mr. Lee Kuan Yew for what you have done for Singapore. Rest In Peace!



Sending Mr. Lee Kuan Yew on his final journey during this rainy afternoon. It's raining v. Heavily. Even the heaven is crying over the loss of a great man :'( Ah Gong, please rest in peace...

Crowds lining Cantonment Road to bid Mr. Lee Kuan Yew a final farewell in the heavy downpour this afternoon...We were all drenched in the heavy downpour but it's worth it to bid farewell to Ah Gong...Ah Gong, You will be missed :'( 

Even Mr. Jack Ma took time off his busy schedule to travel all the way to Singapore to pay his respects to Mr. Lee at Parliament House! Sincerity at its best!


MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC, Indranee Rajah puts it best:
"The real secret of his enduring bond with Singaporeans is that we all fundamentally understood that the vision, the drive and the intellect were all powered by one thing - he cared. He cared deeply for Singaporeans and Singapore and all his actions were driven by a desire to make things better for them. Singapore was his life’s work."

He cared!!! That's the most important quality!!!




Love this quote from our beloved Ah Gong

"Emotional ties don’t come to an end with the passing away of a loved one
Written by Dr Lee Wee Ling
Source: The Sunday Times October 2, 2011 

My friend Balaji Sadasivan passed away on Sept 27 last year. In the obituaries section of The Straits Times last Tuesday, exactly one year after his death, there was a sonnet by Balaji himself: ‘But even in gloom, one truth is fundamental, from time immemorial, love springs eternal.’

A week after Balaji died, on Oct 2, my mother passed away peacefully at home. ‘Love springs eternal’ – but what comfort is that to the one who has departed and can no longer reciprocate our love?

This thought slipped randomly in and out of my mind as I was exercising last week. Then my Blackberry buzzed. I read the incoming e-mail. It was from my father – brief, concise, a mere statement of fact, yet what was unsaid but obvious was his love and concern for us, his children.

I suddenly realised that love does spring eternal.

Papa, my brothers Hsien Loong and Hsien Yang, and my sisters-in-law Ho Ching and Suet Fern, and I are still bound by our love for Mama and will continue to be for many more years.

For the first few weeks after her devastating stroke on May 12, 2008, my family and the doctors met often to discuss how best to minimise her suffering and perhaps enable her to recover to some extent.

The physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists all did their best, but Mama did not improve. The May 12 stroke was more extensive, and involved more brain regions controlling movement than her first stroke on Oct 25, 2003.

But Papa remembered how well she had recovered from that first stroke, which had occurred while my parents were visiting London. By the end of that year, we were celebrating Mama’s 83rd birthday on Dec 21 in a private room at Goodwood Hotel in Singapore.

Now, in October 2008, Papa knew that if Mama survived she would never be able to walk independently. But he felt that so long as she knew she was an important part of his life, she would still find life worth living.

He told her: ‘We have been together for most of our lives. You cannot leave me alone now. I will make your life worth living in spite of your physical handicap.’

She replied: ‘That is a big promise.’

Papa said: ‘Have I ever let you down?’

Mama tried her best to cooperate with the therapists. But it seemed a useless struggle. Even swallowing a teaspoon of semi-solid food was a huge effort. Then more bleeds occurred and her condition deteriorated. We, her family, decided that no further active treatment should be sought. We arranged to bring her home and nurse her there.

Before we brought her home for the final time, Papa arranged for her to stop at the Istana, to see her favourite spots in the grounds. We wheeled her to where she had planted sweet-smelling flowers such as the Sukudangan and the Chempaka. Then we wheeled her to the swimming pool, where she had swum daily.

We showed her the colourful little ‘windmills’ she had arranged around the pool. She also saw the colourful wetsuits that Papa had arranged to be made for her to keep her warm in the water.

He and I had been convinced that she had to exercise to remain fit. So come rain or shine, she would don a wetsuit and swim. Even when travelling, she would swim in the hotel pool.

On one trip, Mama said to Papa: ‘Today is a public holiday in Singapore. Can I take a break from swimming.’
Papa replied: ‘No, have a swim. You will feel better after that.’

As a neurologist, I knew that after the first bleed in 2003, a second was likely. But I did not want to burden Papa or Mama with this knowledge.

Still, unknown to me, Papa had sensed that she could easily rebleed. He told us later that they had both discussed death. They had concluded that the one who died first would be the lucky one. The one remaining would suffer loneliness and grief.

Mama deteriorated further after she returned home. Finally, she reached a stage when she could not even speak and seemed unaware of her surroundings. But she was always aware of Papa’s presence.

When Papa travelled, she would stay awake at night waiting for his phone call. When I began travelling with him, he usually would tell her on the phone: ‘Bye dear, I am passing the phone to Ling.’ Those were the times when I could hear her actively trying to vocalise.

When Mama passed away, I was at her bedside, watching her fade as her respiration became more shallow and feeble until it finally stopped. I did not try cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It would have been futile to have done so and cruel.

I called to ask my family physician to sign the death certificate, then returned to my room in a daze. Papa waited until the people from the Singapore Casket Company arrived. He showed them the jacket he wished Mama to wear and asked them to do their best to make her look attractive.

The wake lasted for three days. Hsien Loong and Hsien Yang, together with their wives, took turns to stand by the coffin and greet well-wishers. I was tired and rested at home, only attending the wake on the first evening to greet my friends and colleagues. I hoped that by resting I would recover by the day of the funeral.

Most of the time, my mind was blank. I thought I had my emotions under control. It was only at the funeral, when it was my turn to deliver the eulogy, that the finality of Mama’s passing hit me. I managed to control my tears but my voice was strained with emotion.

Three days after the cremation, the urn containing my mother’s ashes was delivered to our home. We all stood and bowed as the urn was brought into the dining room.

A few days later, I noticed that Papa had moved from his usual place at the dining table so as to face a wall, on which were placed photographs of Mama and himself in their old age. He tried various arrangements of the photos for a week before he was satisfied.

He also moved back to the bedroom he had shared with Mama for decades before her final illness. At the foot of his bed were another three photographs of Mama and himself.

The health of men often deteriorates after they lose their wives. The security officers and I watched Papa getting more frail every day. His facial features were grim, perhaps to mask his sadness and grief. I took one day at a time and persuaded him not to undertake any arduous trips to America or Europe. China and Japan were near enough and manageable. I was pleased to get him out of the house.

By July this year, Papa’s health had stabilised and even begun to improve gradually. I reminded myself of the analogy I used for him – titanium. Titanium is light but strong. It can bend a little, but it will not snap unless it is under overwhelming force.

Physically, we all eventually succumb. Papa is also mortal. But he is psychologically stronger than most people. Life has to carry on, and he will keep going so long as he can contribute to Singapore.

As I was halfway through writing this article, I went out of my room for a drink of water and saw a note from Papa addressed to all three of his children.

It read: ‘For reasons of sentiment, I would like part of my ashes to be mixed up with Mama’s, and both her ashes and mine put side by side in the columbarium. We were joined in life and I would like our ashes to be joined after this life.’"

"太好的分享 - 李嘉誠語錄:

1, 人窮的時候,要少在家裡,多在外面。富有的時候,要多在家裡,少在外面。這就是生活的藝術。

2,窮得時候,錢要花給別人,富的時候,錢要花給親人和愛人! 很多人,都做顛倒了。 

3,窮的時候,不要計較,對別人要好,這叫人窮志不窮。富的時候,要學會讓別人對自己好。自己對別人更好。學會捨得! 這些奇妙的生活方式,很少人能夠明白。

4.窮的時候一定要大方,富的時候,就不要擺闊了。生命已經恢復了簡單,已經回到了寧靜。

5.年輕是最大的富有,但要倍加珍惜時光,貧窮無需害怕。懂得培養自己,懂得什麼是貴重物品,懂得該投資什麼,懂得該在哪裡節約,這是整個過程的關鍵。

6.別亂買衣服,少買一點,但是可以買幾件很有品味的。 多在外面吃飯,要吃就請客,要請,就請比自己更有夢想的、更有思想、更努力的人。

7. 一旦生活需要的錢已經夠了,最大的快樂,就是用你的收入,完成你的夢想,去放開你的翅膀大膽地實現,超越夢想! 去讓生命經歷不一樣的旅程。"

"【李嘉诚深圳演讲】为什么你一直没有成就?

因为你随波逐流,近墨者黑、不思上进,分钱没有、死爱面子!
因为你畏惧你的父母、你听信你亲戚、你没有主张、你不敢一个人做决定。
你观念传统、只想打工赚点钱结婚生子,然后生老病死、走你父母一模一样的路。
因为你天生脆弱、脑筋迟钝只想做按班就部的工作。
因为你想做无本的生意,你想坐在家里等...

出人头地法则:

1、不要只听 “亲朋好友” 的话,世界上 99% 的人都是平凡人,他们的建议只会让你成为平凡的人。

2、不要只是 “正确做事”,重要的是 “做正确的事” 。

3、不要只交 “志趣相投” 的朋友 ; 否则你只能看到 “一半” 的世界。

4、不要只是 “准备好了等机会”,要主动去 “制造机会” 才能捷足先登!

不要试图追求安全感,特别是年轻的时候,
周遭环境从来都不会有绝对的安全感,
如果你觉得安全了,很有可能开始暗藏危机。

真正的安全感,来自你对自己的信心,是你每个阶段性目标的实现。
而真正的归属感,在于你的内心深处,对自己命运的把控,
因为你最大的对手 : 永远都是自己。:)"


Frenz started asking me abt the title of this book after i posted up this snapshot of a page from the book...

Som ppl only know how to laugh at others' expense n to derive laughter from others' misery...but they dont see this irony...i will always rem the kindness that some frenz have shown me...ppl usually only rem how u make them feel...i'm a simple person...if u r nice to me, i'll b nicer to u...

Wise Words from Li Ka-Shing

Wanna share these wise words from Mr. Li Ka-Shing (aka Superman)...his beliefs n principles regarding life n biz...i really took time to read through these 98rules cos he's someone we can learn from...so successful yet so humble...btw i love hong kong...great food n many places for sightseeing n shopping...someone once asked if i speak Cantonese n how do i get around hk if i dont...well, that question juz goes to show how short-sighted someone can be...i dont speak Cantonese...but i can make myself understood clearly n get around with great ease with public transport in hk (their buses r still ok...but their mtr system is much more efficient than the "Most Reliable Transport" in sg) btw, i know tt there r many foreigners who r working in hk n they speak neither Cantonese nor Chinese =)

"【李嘉誠給年輕商人的98條忠告】

1.我17歲就開始做批發的推銷員,就更加體會到掙錢的不容易、生活的艱辛了。人家做8個小時,我就做16個小時。

2.我們的社會中沒有大學文憑、白手起家而終成大業的人不計其數,其中的優秀企業家群體更是引人注目。他們通過自己的活動為社會作貢獻,社會也回報他們以崇高榮譽和巨額財富。

3.精明的商家可以將商業意識滲透到生活的每一件事中去,甚至是一舉手一投足。充滿商業細胞的商人,賺錢可以是無處不在、無時不在。

4.我凡事必有充分的準備然後才去做。一向以來,做生意處理事情都是如此。例如天文臺說天氣很好,但我常常問我自己,如5分鐘後宣佈有颱風,我會怎樣,在香港做生意,亦要保持這種心理準備。
5.精明的商人只有嗅覺敏銳才能將商業情報作用發揮到極致,那種感覺遲鈍、閉門自鎖的公司老闆常常會無所作為。
6.我從不間斷讀新科技、新知識的書籍,不至因為不瞭解新訊息而和時代潮流脫節。
7.即使本來有一百的力量足以成事,但我要儲足二百的力量去攻,而不是隨便去賭一賭。
8.擴張中不忘謹慎,謹慎中不忘擴張。…… 我講求的是在穩健與進取中取得平衡。船要行得快,但面對風浪一定要捱得住。
9.好的時候不要看得太好,壞的時候不要看得太壞。最重要的是要有遠見,殺雞取卵的方式是短視的行為。
10.不必再有絲毫猶豫,競爭既搏命,更是鬥智鬥勇。倘若連這點勇氣都沒有,談何在商場立腳,超越置地?
11.對人誠懇,做事負責,多結善緣,自然多得人的幫助。淡泊明志,隨遇而安,不作非分之想,心境安泰,必少許多失意之苦。
12.在逆境的時候,你要問自己是否有足夠的條件。當我自己逆境的時候,我認為我夠!因為我勤奮、節儉、有毅力,我肯求知及肯建立一個信譽。
13.做生意一定要同打球一樣,若第一杆打得不好的話,在打第二杆時,心更要保持鎮定及有計劃,這並不是表示這個會輸。就好比是做生意一樣,有高有低,身處逆境時,你先要鎮定考慮如何應付。
14.我表面謙虛,其實很驕傲,別人天天保持現狀,而自己老想著一直爬上去,所以當我做生意時,就警惕自己,若我繼續有這個驕傲的心,遲早有一天是會碰壁的。
15.當生意更上一層樓的時候,絕不可有貪心,更不能貪得無厭。
16.任何一種行業,如有一窩蜂的趨勢,過度發展,就會造成摧殘。
17.隨時留意身邊有無生意可做,才會抓住時機把握升浪起點。著手越快越好。遇到不尋常的事發生時立即想到賺錢,這是生意人應該具備的素質。
18.人才缺乏,要建國圖強,亦徒成虛願。反之,資源匱乏的國家,若人才鼎盛,善於開源節流,則自可克服各種困難,而使國勢蒸蒸日上。從歷史上看,資源貧乏之國不一定衰弱,可為明證。
19.假如今日,如果沒有那麼多人替我辦事,我就算有三頭六臂,也沒有辦法應付那麼多的事情,所以成就事業最關鍵的是要有人能夠幫助你,樂意跟你工作,這就是我的哲學。
20.你們不要老提我,我算什麼超人,是大家同心協力的結果。我身邊有300員虎將,其中100人是外國人,200人是年富力強的香港人。
21.長江取名基於長江不擇細流的道理,因為你要有這樣豁達的胸襟,然後你才可以容納細流? 沒有小的支流,又怎能成長江?
22.在我心目中,不理你是什麼樣的膚色,不理你是什麼樣的國籍,只要你對公司有貢獻,忠誠、肯做事、有歸屬感,即有長期的打算,我就會幫他慢慢地經過一個時期而成為核心分子,這是我公司一向的政策。
23.一個總司令,是一個集團軍的統帥,拿起機關槍總不會勝過機關槍手,走到炮兵隊操作大炮也不如炮兵。但作為集團軍的總司令不要管這些,只要懂得運用戰略便可以,所以整個組織十分重要。
24.人才取之不盡,用之不竭。你對人好,人家對你好是自然的,世界上任何人都可以成為你的核心人物。
25.知人善任,大多數人都會有部分的長處,部分的短處,各盡所能,各得所需,以量才而用為原則。
26.可以毫不誇張地說,一個大企業就像一個大家庭,每一個員工都是家庭的一分子。就憑他們對整個家庭的巨大貢獻,他們也實在應該取其所得,只有反過來說,是員工養活了整個公司,公司應該多謝他們都對。
27.不為五斗米折腰的人,在哪裡都有。你千萬別傷害別人的尊嚴,尊嚴是非常脆弱的,經不起任何的傷害。
28.在我的企業內,人員的流失及跳槽率很低,並且從沒出現過工潮。最主要的是員工有歸屬感,萬眾一心。
29.有錢大家賺,利潤大家分享,這樣才有人願意合作。假如拿10%的股份是公正的,拿11%也可以,但是如果只拿9%的股份,就會財源滾滾來。
30.我老是在說一句話,親人並不一定就是親信。一個人你要跟他相處,日子久了,你覺得他的思路跟你一樣是正面的,那你就應該可以信任他;你交給他的每一項重要工作,他都會做,這個人就可以做你的親信。
31.人要去求生意就比較難,生意跑來找你,你就容易做,那如何才能讓生意來找你?那就要靠朋友。如何結交朋友?那就要善待他人,充分考慮到對方的利益。
32.有金錢之外的思想,保留一點自己值得自傲的地方,人生活得更加有意義。
33.以往我是百分之九十九是教孩子做的道理,現在有時會與他們談生意 …… 但約三分之一談生意,三分之二教他們做人的道理。因為世情才是大學問。
34.壞人固然要防備,但壞人畢竟是少數,人不能因噎廢食,不能為了防備極少數壞人連朋友也拒之門外。更重要的是,為了防備壞人的猜疑,算計別人,必然會使自己成為孤家寡人,既沒有了朋友,也失去了事業上的合作者,最終只能落個失敗的下場。
35.那些私下忠告我們,指出我們錯誤的人,才是真正的朋友。
36.商業合作必須有三大前提:一是雙方必須有可以合作的利益,二是必須有可以合作的意願,三是雙方必須有共用共榮的打算。此三者缺一不可。
37.不義而富且貴,於我如浮雲。是我的錢,一塊錢掉在地上我都會去撿。不是我的,一千萬塊錢送到我家門口我都不會要。我賺的錢每一毛錢都可以公開,就是說,不是不明白賺來的錢。
38.我覺得,顧及對方的利益是最重要的,不能把目光僅僅局限在自己的利上,兩者是相輔相成的,自己捨得讓利,讓對方得利,最終還是會給自己帶來較大的利益。占小便宜的不會有朋友,這是我小的時候我母親就告訴給我的道理,經商也是這樣。
39.一個人一旦失信於人一次,別人下次再也不願意和他交往或發生貿易往來了。別人寧願去找信用可靠的人,也不願意再找他,因為他的不守信用可能會生出許多麻煩來。
40.如果取得別人的信任,你就必須做出承諾,一經承諾之後,便要負責到底,即使中途有困難,也要堅守諾言。
41.我生平最高興的,就是我答應幫助人家去做的事,自己不僅是完成了,而且比他們要求的做得更好,當完成這些信諾時,那種興奮的感覺是難以形容的 ……
42.世情才是學問。世界上每一個人都精明,要令大家信服並喜歡不容易?
43.注重自己的名聲,努力工作、與人為善、遵守諾言,這樣對你們的事業非常有幫助。
44.講信用,夠朋友。這麼多年來,差不多到今天為止,任何一個國家的人,任何一個省份的中國人,跟我做夥伴的,合作之後都成為好朋友,從來沒有一件事鬧過不開心,這一點是我引以為榮的事。
45.我個人對生活一無所求,吃住都十分簡單,上天給我的恩賜,我並沒多要財產的奢求。如果此生能做多點對人類、民族、國家長治久安有益的事,我是樂此不疲的。
46.保持低調,才能避免樹大招風,才能避免成為別人進攻的靶子。如果你不過分顯示自己,就不會招惹別人的敵意,別人也就無法捕捉你的虛實。
47.如果單以金錢來算,我在香港第六、七名還排不上,我這樣說是有事實根據的。但我認為,富有的人要看他是怎麼做。照我現在的做法我為自己內心感到富足,這是肯定的。
48.做人最要緊的,是讓人由衷地喜歡你,敬佩你本人,而不是你的財力,也不是表面上讓人聽你的。
49.絕不同意為了成功而不擇手段,刻薄成家,理無久享。
50.一個有使命感的企業家,應該努力堅持走一條正途,這樣我相信大家一定可以得到不同程度的成就。
51.要成為一位成功的領導者,不單要努力,更要聽取別人的意見,要有忍耐力,提出自己意見前,更要考慮別人的意見,最重要的是創出新穎的意念 …… 作為一個領袖,第一最重要的是責已以嚴,待人以寬;第二。要令他人肯為自己辦事,並有歸屬感。機構大必須依靠組織,在二三十人的企業,領袖走在最前端便最成功。當規模擴大至幾百人,領袖還是要去參與工作,但不一定是走在前面的第一人。要大便要靠組織,否則,便遲早會撞板,這樣的例子很多,百多年的銀行也一朝崩潰。
52.未攻之前一定先要守,每一個政策的實施之前都必須做到這一點。當我著手進攻的時候,我要確信,有超過百分之一百的能力。換句話說,即使本來有一百的力量足以成事,但我要儲足二百的力量才去攻,而不是隨便去賭一賭。
53.與其到頭來收拾殘局,甚至做成蝕本生意,倒不如當時理智克制一些。
54.眼睛僅盯在自己小口袋的小商人,眼光放在世界大市場的是大商人。同樣是商人,眼光不同,境界不同,結果也不同。
55.身處在瞬息萬變的社會中,應該求創新,加強能力,居安思危,無論你發展得多好,時刻都要做好準備。
56.中華民族勤勞勇敢,堅忍不拔,雖然歷史上有過受辱挨打的過去,但是現在走正確的道路必然會有著光明的未來。無論哪個民族和人民,都是愛自己國家 ……
57.力爭上游,雖然辛苦,但也充滿了機會。我們做任何事,都應該有一番雄心壯志,立下遠大和目標,用熱忱激發自己幹事業的動力。
58.人,第一要有志,第二要有識,第三要有恆,有志則斷不甘為下流。
59.知識不僅是指課本的內容,還包括社會經驗、文明文化、時代精神等整體要素,才有競爭力,知識是新時代的資本,五六十年代人靠勤勞可以成事;今天的香港要搶知識,要以知識取勝。
60.人們讚譽我是超人,其實我並非天生就是優秀的經營者。到現在我只敢說經營得還可以,我是經歷了很多挫折和磨難之後,才領會一些經營的要訣的。
61.今天在競爭激烈的世界中,你付出多一點,便可贏得多一點。好像奧運會一樣,如果跑短賽,雖然是跑第一的那個贏了,但比第二、第三的只勝出少許,只要快一點,便是贏。
62.當你作出決定後,便要一心一意地朝著目標走,常常記著名譽是你的最大資產,今天便要建立起來。
63.在事業上謀求成功,沒有什麼絕對的公式,但如果能依賴某些原則的話,能將成功的希望提高許多。
64.苦難的生活,是我人生的最好鍛煉,尤其是做推銷員,使我學會了不少的東西,明白了不少事理。所以這些,是我天10億100億也買不到的。
65.我認為勤奮是個人成功的要素,所謂一分耕耘,一分收穫,一個人所獲得的報酬和成果,與他所付出的努力是有極大的關係。運氣只是一個小因素,個人的努力才是創造事業的最基本條件。
66.創業的過程,實際上就是恒心和毅力堅持不懈的發展過程,其中並沒有什麼秘密,但要真正做到中國古老的格言所說的勤和儉也不太容易。而且,從創業之初開始,還要不斷學習,把握時機。
67.在看蘇東坡的故事後,就知道什麼叫無故受傷害。蘇東坡沒有野心,但就是給人陷害,他弟弟說得對:我哥哥錯在出名,錯在高調。這個真是很無奈的過失。
68.年輕時我表面謙虛,其實我內心很驕傲。為什麼驕傲呢?因為同事們去玩的時候,我去求學問;他們每天保持原狀,而自己的學問日漸提高。
69.我這棵小樹是從沙石風雨中長出來的,你們可以去山上試試,由沙石長出來的小樹,要拔去是多麼的費力啊!但從石縫裡長出來的小樹,則更富有生命力。
70.科技世界深如海,正如曾國藩所說的,必須有智、有識,當你懂得一門技藝,並引以為榮,便愈知道深如海,而我根本未到深如海的境界,我只知道別人走快我們幾十年,我們現在才起步追,有很多東西要學習。
71.無論何種行業,你越拼搏,失敗的可能性越大,但是你有知識,沒有資金的話,小小的付出就能夠有回報,並且很可能達到成功。
72.從前經商,只要有些計謀,敏捷迅速,就可以成功;可現在的企業家,還必須要有相當豐富的知識資產,對於國內外的地理、風俗、人情、市場調查、會計統計等都非常熟悉不可。
73.一個人憑己的經驗得出的結論當然是最好,但是時間就浪費得多了,如果能將書本知識和實際工作結合起來,那才是最好的。
74.下一個世紀的企業家將和我完全不同,因新世紀企業家的成功取決於科技和知識,而不是錢。
75.作為父母,讓孩子在十五六歲就遠離家鄉,遠離親人,隻身到外面去求學深造,當然是有些於心不忍,但是為了他們的將來,就是再不忍心也要忍心。
76.如果在競爭中,你輸了,那麼你輸在時間;反之,你贏了,也贏在時間。
77.世界上並非每一件事情,都是金錢可以解決的,但是確實有很多事情需要金錢才能解決。
78.我的錢來自社會,也應該用於社會,我已不再需要更多的錢,我賺錢不是只為了自己。為了公司,為了股東,也為了替社會多做些公益事業,把多餘的錢分給那些殘疾及貧困的人。
79.萬一真的失敗了,也不必怨恨,慢慢圖謀東山再起的機會,只要一息尚存,仍有作最後決戰的本錢。
80.一個人除了賺錢滿足自己的成就感之外,就是為了讓自己生活得更好一點,如果只顧賺錢,並賠上自己的健康,那是很不值得的。
81.做事投入是十分重要的。你對你的事業有興趣,你的工作一定會做得好。
82.儘量擠出時間使自己得到良好的休息。只有得到良好的休息,才會有充沛、旺盛的精力去面對突如其來發生的各種事情。
83.衣服和鞋子是什麼牌子,我都不怎麼講究。一套西裝穿十年八年是很平常的事。我的皮鞋十雙有五雙是舊的。皮鞋壞了,扔掉太可惜,補好了照樣可以穿。我手上戴的手錶,也是普通的,已經用了好多年。
84.我覺得一家幸福是最緊要,生意起跌是小事。生意今日起,明日跌,一家人開心最緊要。
85.商業的存在除了創造繁榮和就業,最大作用是服務人類的需要。企業是為股東謀取利潤的,但應該堅持固定文化,這裡經營的其中一項成就,是企業長遠發展最好的途徑。
86.為了適應時代發展變化的需要,也為了企業自身的生存和發展,企業必須以市場為導向、以創新為手段、以效率為核心,重建企業形象。
87.我們長江要生存,就得要競爭;要競爭,就必須有好的品質。只有保證品質,才能保證信譽,才能保證長江的發展壯大。
88.我對自己有一個約束,並非所有賺錢的生意都做。有些生意,給多少錢讓我賺,我都不賺 …… 有些生意,已經知道是對人有害,就算社會容許做,我都不做。
89.領導全心協力投入熱誠,是企業最大的鼓動力。與員工互動溝通,對同事尊重,才可建立團隊精神。人才難求,對具備創意、膽識及謹慎態度的同事,應給予良好的報酬和顯示明確的前途。
90.對一個職工,如果他平時馬馬虎虎,我會十分生氣,一定會批評,但他有時做錯事,你應該給他機會去改正。
91.大部分的人都有部分長處部分短處,好像大象食量以鬥計,螞蟻一小勺便足夠。各盡所能,各得所需,以量才而用為原則;又像一部機器,假如主要的機件需要用五百匹馬力去發動,雖然半匹馬力與五匹馬力相比是小得多,但也能發揮其一部分作用。
92.中國古人講:萬變不離其宗。這個宗就是指合乎實際情況,合乎道理。變是一定要變的,這個世界本來就是豐富多彩的,千變萬化的。
93.要給員工好的待遇及前途,讓他們有受重視的感覺。當然,還要有良好的監督和制衡制度,不然山高皇帝遠,一個好人也會變壞。
94.雖然老闆受到的壓力較大,但是做老闆所賺的錢,已經多過員工很多,所以我事事總不忘提醒自己,要多為員工考慮,讓他們得到應得的利益。
95.我認為要像西方那樣,有制度且比較進取,用兩種方式來做,而不是全盤西化或是全盤儒家。儒家有它的好處,也有它的短處,儒家在進取方面是很不夠的。
96.一間小的家庭式公司要一手一腳去做,得當公司發展大子,便要讓員工有歸屬感,令他們感到安心,這是十分重要的。管理之道,簡單來說是知人善任,但在原則上一定要令他們有歸屬感,要他們喜歡你。
97.只有博大的胸襟,自己才不會那麼驕傲,不會認為自己樣樣出眾,承認其他人的長處,得到他人的幫助,這便是古人所說的有容乃大的道理。
98.凡事都留個餘地,因為人是人,人不是神,不免有錯處,可以原諒人的地方,就原諒人。"


Very wise words from Mr. Li Ka-Shing indeed...anyone who knows me would know that i'm the type who has difficulty with reading chinese n cant b bothered to read chinese words these days...but i took my time to slowly read through the following advice...with many pauses in between of course...lol...

"【前线分享】(李嘉诚)教你五年内买车买房.

假设你的月收入只有2000元,你也可以过得很好。我帮你把钱分成五份。第一份600元,第二份400元,第三份300元,第四份200元,第五份500元。

第一份,用来做生活费。这么少的生活费,每天只能够分到十几元。早餐一份煮米丝,一个鸡蛋,一杯豆浆。中餐一份快餐,一个水果。晚餐自己开个小灶,煮点饭,加俩菜,睡前一杯奶。这样一月的伙食大概是500-600。不过,如果你还年轻,身体暂时还没有太多问题,这样的食谱,够你数年内不会有健康问题。

第二份,用来交朋友,扩大你的人际圈。这就宽裕了。你的电话费可以用掉100元。每个月可以请客两次,每次150元。请谁呢?记住,请比你有思想的人,比你更有钱的人,和你需要感激的人。
每个月,坚持请客,一年下来,你的朋友圈应该已经为你产生价值了,你的声望、影响力、附加价值正在提升,形象又好,又大方。

第三份,用来学习。每个月可以有50元—100元用来买书。钱不多,买的书就要认真阅读,学会学了就用的精神。每一本书,看完后,就把它变成自己的语言讲给别人听,与人分享可以提高你的信誉度,并且,提升亲和力。另外的200元存起来,每一个月参加一次培训。从不间断。等收入高一些了,或者有额外的积蓄,就参加更高级的培训。参加好的培训,既可以免费结交志同道合的朋友,又可以学习平时难以领悟的道理。

第四份,用于旅游,一年奖励自己旅游至少一次。生命的成长来自不断地历练。参加那种自由行的旅游,住进青年旅社,地球其实并不大,每年都出门,几年下来,就可以把红旗插到地图上,许多美好的回忆,成为生命的动力,更加有热情和能量,去投入工作。

第五份,用来投资。先存起来,也可以用来做进货的本钱,小本生意很安全,去批发点产品来卖,亏了反正也不多,赚呢,既赚了金钱,又赚了自信和胆量,还赚来做事情的阅历。赚的钱多了,就可以开始购买长期的投资计划,使自己提早获得一份长久的保障,保证自己和家人在将来,不论发生什么事情,都有一份充足的资金来照顾,生活品质不会下降。

好了,这样熬了一年,第二年如果你还在拿2000元的收入,那就是你的不是了,这么不长进,活着也够丢脸的,看看有什么品牌的豆腐比较硬,买一点来,用头去撞吧。
月收入在3000元以下的,一定要兼职赚钱,不要穷,还很有个性,挑三拣四的,这个不愿意做,那个没有兴趣。收入不高,一定要非常勤奋,尽量去找跟销售有关的工作,销售等。这就是很不错的兼职工作,既可以认识很多有价值的人,又可以锻炼自己的信息收集能力和营销技巧。

衣服啊,鞋子啊,这一年你是得尽量少买了。最好全部通过你的兼职赚的钱去买。当作奖励自己的一种方式。额外多赚钱的时候,记得买个礼物给你的爱人,谢谢他/她支持你的财务计划。很坦诚地告诉他/她,为何你那么勤俭,告诉他/她你的梦想和努力的方向。
到处都有需要帮助的生意人,兼职帮他们做点事情,去磨练自己的意志、口才、和工作能力吧,加上你的理财技巧,第二年,你的收入至少要增加到5000元。最低也应该是3000元,否则你收入的成长还赶不上通货膨胀呢。
无论你的收入是多少,记得分成五份。增加对身体的投资,让身体始终好用,增加对社交的投资,扩大你的人脉,增加对学习的投资,加强你的自信,增加对旅游的投资,扩大你的见闻,增加对未来的投资,增加你的收益。

保持这种平衡,逐渐你就会开始有大量的盈余。这是一个良性循环的人生计划。身体将越来越好,得到更多的营养和照顾。朋友会越来越多,存储许多有价值的人脉关系,同时,你也有条件参加那些非常高端的培训,使自己各方面的羽翼丰满,思维宽阔,格局广大,性格和谐。而你,也就能够逐渐实现自己的各种梦想,购买自己的需要的房子、车子,并且给未来的孩子准备一笔充足的教育基金。
人生是可以设计的,生涯是可以规划的,幸福是可以准备的。现在就可以开始。在你穷的时候,要少在家里,多在外面。在你富有的时候,要多在家里,少在外面。这就是生活的艺术。穷得时候,钱要花给别人,富的时候,钱要花给自己。很多人,都做颠倒了。
穷得时候,不要计较,对别人要好。富的时候,要学会让别人对自己好。自己对自己更好。穷要把自己贡献出去,尽量让别人利用。富,要把自己收藏好,小心别让别人随便利用。这些奇妙的生活方式,是很少人能够明白的。

穷的时候,花钱给别人看。富的时候,花钱给自己享受。穷的时候一定要大方,富的时候,就不要摆阔了。生命已经恢复了简单,已经回到了宁静。

年轻不是过错,贫穷无需害怕。懂得培养自己,懂得什么是贵重物品,懂得该投资什么,懂得该在哪里节约,这是整个过程的关键。别乱买衣服,少买一点,但是可以买几件很有品味的。少在外面吃饭,要吃就请客,要请,就请比自己更有梦想的、更有思想、更努力的人。
一旦生活需要的钱已经够了,最大的花费,就是用你的收入,完成你的梦想,去放开你的翅膀大胆地做梦,去让生命经历不一样的旅程。

经典语录:
过去的一页,能不翻就不要翻,翻落了灰尘会迷了双眼。有些人说不出哪里好,但就是谁都替代不了! 那些以前说着永不分离的人,早已经散落在天涯了。收拾起心情,继续走吧,错过花,你将收获雨,错过这一个,你才会遇到下一个。

经典语录:
被人误解的时候能微微的一笑,这是一种素养;受委屈的时候能坦然的一笑,这是一种大度;吃亏的时候能开心的一笑,这是一种豁达;无奈的时候能达观的一笑,这是一种境界;危难的时候能泰然一笑,这是一种大气;被轻蔑的时候能平静的一笑,这是一种自信;失恋的时候能轻轻的一笑,这是一种洒脱。"

The world works like that, when you do not dare to pursue your dream, it drifts further from you. When you chase after your dream, the whole world will start to help u." ~ Jenny's best friend
