As people approach the middle of their lifespans, what do they usually think about?
Can’t speak for others, but I think about my mortality and legacy. Have I made best use of my god-given abilities? Is there anyone to carry on my work/name?

“What you get by reaching your destination is not nearly as important as what you will become by reaching your destination.”
Zig Ziglar
Spring has its hundred flowers,
Autumn its many moons.
Summer has cool winds,
Winter its snow.
If useless thoughts do not cloud your mind, each day is the best of your life.

Learnt something valuable at our company’s team building event a couple of days ago.
- When working or competing against other groups/departments, never assume that they have the same objectives as you – even if they are in the same company as you.
- What’s valuable to you or your team may not be valuable to others.
Making the wrong assumptions cost our group some valuable points during the exercise. However, in real life situations, the consequences are likely to be more serious.
Learnt another valuable lesson from my mum the other day.
The basic gist is that we should tackle everything we take up with full attention – “heart”. If not, why bother doing the thing at all?
