Managing Oneself

Taken from Harvard Business Review:

"Do not try to change yourself - you are unlikely to succeed. But work hard to improve the way you perform. And try not to take on work you cannot perform or will only perform poorly."

.
Contrary to the Conventional Teaching that we should to work hard on our weaknesses. If we work hard on our weaknesses, we would only become mediocre. If we work hard on our strength, we could become stars.

Kukup Trip & Chennai Trip


Kukup Trip with Friends
.
Simple Lodging, BBQ Dinner, Board Games, Mahjong, Sunset, Kelong, Karaoke
It was a simple yet very enjoyable weekend get-together.
.
.
Chennai - Radisson Beach Resort
.
Asia Longest Swimming Pool, 5-Star Beach Resort, Good Restaurant Food, Comfortable Hotel Room, Business Discussion, On Company Expense
.
.
.
While it was great to stay in nice hotel and eat good food, I definitely prefer the Kukup trip more than the overseas business trip. It is good to have physical comfort, but it is not that important and I definitely choose to hang-out with my friends anytime.
.
That's the limitation of money.
Money cannot buy happiness.
