If you haven’t seen the The Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, spoiler alert! It was an enjoyable movie and it made me laugh out loud, something I haven’t done in a while. It wasn’t anything new so to speak but they serve as great reminders in life and business. Drax must have gotten all the best lines in my book though. One scene in the movie has Nebula speaking to her sister Gamora, “All we do is yell at each other! […]

2016. What a year, eh? We can look at things beyond our control or things within our control because there sure were a lot of things happening that were beyond our control which got a lot of us breathless and spinning. My word last year was Focus. A great word indeed because I needed it. I think sometimes I lost focus because my word was not aligned to my actions. And the only person I can fool is myself. A bit […]

So I woke up this morning in what potentially could have been a foul mood for no apparent reason. I know I am about to hit that time of month and I always monitor my emotions. To say that periods don’t affect women is a farce. That said, it can be managed but it starts with self-awareness and then action. Some days they over react. Today was one of those days. And with that feeling, I quickly filled myself with positive […]

I’ve been speaking to a lot of people about broken relationships over the past few years. I won’t call them “failed” because we know most relationships can be solved if they really want to, that is, if BOTH parties want to. And that takes work and effort. This goes back to how love is a decision and not a feeling, something we choose to be in come what may. Common values as opposed to common interests. How many people have fallen […]

I have been living at my current place for over 10 years. This is your typical link house. The neighbour on the right have gone through two changes and both times, I have been blessed with wonderful people; helpful, friendly and kind. Of course, the story has to be about the neighbour on my left. There are many stories around this one like the time they complained about the leaves from my trees falling into their garden to to them parking […]

How exactly do you teach and show honesty? I have interviewed many companies who always talk about integrity and honesty as a culture. Is it really the case and how do you measure “honesty” and “integrity”? One of the most interesting practices I have seen has to be PKT Logistics led by Dato’ Michael Tio (DMT). He has an Honesty Corner where goodies are sold and no one monitors the place. Prices are listed and it is assumed that people will […]

My first encounter with Spain was in 2012 where I visited Barcelona, Figueres and Madrid (BFM!). At my final stop in Madrid, I headed out to Castille y Leon on a program called Vaughantown where I spoke English to Spaniards. We are placed in a boutique hotel and the Spaniards are not allowed to speak their local language for a period of a week. The ideal size is an equal number of Anglos (the English speakers) and locals; usually about 15 […]

Human beings can live for forty days without food, four days without water, and four minutes without air. But we cannot live for four seconds without hope – Hal Lindsey I apologise for only voting for the first time at the last elections. I apologise for being lackadaisical all these years. I apologise for allowing stories of bribery to cops or projects given unscrupulously and accepting this as “a way of life” and not reporting about it or speaking up. I […]
