They Laugh When They See Me Addicted to my Smartphone...But When they See Me Smile...

With people using their smartphones (and tablets) on average over 3 hours a day, that's even more than the amount of time people spend on their home computers and TVs.  But only 9% of the time (16 minutes) is on talking, the bulk of the time (72% or 2 hours) is on instant communications, especially group and private messaging on Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook, Line and WeChat).  Many people wonder if we have become slaves or addicted to our smartphones as many people carry them even inside the water closets.  However to us, the smartphone is just a tool, it is neither good or bad.  We can make ourselves smarter with our smartphones in the following 7 ways:
  1. Learn something new every day by reading blogs, seminar write-ups, news analysis, commentaries and TED videos; 
  2. Become a Guru instantly by broadcasting to others our unique thoughts on current events.  For example, I posted on my facebook the biggest disappointment of the year: the Samsung Galaxy S5 and immediately got recognised as the expert;
  3. Love your families and friends by keeping in touch with them constantly via your Whatsapp, Facebook and Weibo accounts;
  4. Tune in to the latest news that's happening by the minute, and never have to read newspapers again (other than advertisements for good deals and news analysis);
  5. Discover new ways things are done, be it entertainment, school work or 'how-to' series via YouTube videos and AppleDaily; 
  6. Read full books (at 50% discount) and book samples (for free) on Google's Play Books app.  You can read over 10 books a month or 120 books a year easily with such convenient tools; 
  7. Get non-stop inspiration and motivation with apps that push positive messages to you on the go.
In fact, if you use your smartphone in the right ways, your 3-hours usage is not addiction but lifelong continuous learning, which is what life is about, right?  So go ahead and use your smartphone more!  Note: our company is now giving out the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 worth S$328 free to every 5 seats registered.  Click here to see the full courses or email to us.

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot
