New immigrants need to put a national interest ahead of their race and religion belief when integrating to a new country. When immigrants come to this country, they bring in vitality but at the same time if the inflow of immigrant is so huge it may hindrance the integration process. For example: It takes a mind of one generation to adapt to a new environment and its culture and when the conditions are right and slow these new immigrants integrated well to the system. However when the inflow is too great within a short period of time the new immigrants in big numbers do not have a need or desire to integrate, instead they impose their habits and culture to the new country they went in. As a result conflict of mind is seen everywhere and crack begins to surface. Situation in this country, in Europe and in America is the same. In order to have a more stable country where everyone enjoys most, the only solution is to slow down the immigration process and impose 10 years rule for obtaining

A way to have a good moral character is to train our children when they are young. -Simon kong To an organization, choosing a leader it can be easy tasks when it considers 4C of leadership trait i.e.: Confidence,Competency,Compassion and Character. Confidence: Look for his/her confident level which is a measurement of self-esteem. Give him an unknown task. The ways he/she respond will determine his/her confident level.

He might not have appropriate knowledge at the beginning but the competency level gets him through the challenge. The competency level is the ability to learn, the ability to accept setback and the ability to recognize priority. Compassion: Look for his/her compassion. Compassion is linked to life experience. Check what independent life experience one has before deciding his/her other credentials. Remember Future Potentiality and IQ test can be very misleading indicator

One way to challenge the unknown is to start a trekking trip. You meet the challenge along the way.

I learn the concept of productivity in a hard way. The experience learned from the Japanese were particually useful. In short productiivty is neither a hardware tool nor a built-in system which many of our people are addicted to this concept. Productivity must first starts with a change in mindset which requires mindfulness in every aspect of planning and execution stage. The concept of productivity or total quality management: Deming's 14 points are forgotten by many people. Let's do a recap of his quality concept: 1."Create constancy of purpose towards improvement". Replace short-term reaction with long-term planning. 2."Adopt the new philosophy". The implication is that management should actually adopt his philosophy, rather than merely expect the workforce to do so. 3."Cease dependence on inspection". If variation is reduced, there is no need to inspect manufactured items for defects, because there won't be any. 4."Move towards a singl

In recent years, Mr. Obama has been facing uphill task in handling domestic issues. His image rating has been dropping day by day. However he gave one of his good speeches in addressing unemployment problem - Sept 07, 2011. "So let's meet the moment," he said, seeking to restore public trust in his leadership with a plan that mixes tax cuts and investments and takes aim at 9.1 percent unemployment which is threatening his 2012 reelection bid. A combative Obama, standing before a large US flag in the House of Representatives, said his American Jobs Act would get people back to work and put more money into the pockets of those who had jobs. "It will provide a jolt to an economy that has stalled.... You should pass this jobs plan right away. "I intend to take that message to every corner of this country." In my opinion, Mr. Obama in his summary needs one more sentence to complete the persuasion step as follows: 9.1% unemployment rate was not originated from th

Let's do a simple happiness exercise. There are ten persons including you either you meet them in a meeting, or at a function or in a socail event. If out of the nine persons you met one is not happy. May I ask you how many people remain happy? Ans? If you can't get a convincing answer email me for an idea. Interestingly Bhutan measures sucesss by GNP. This GNP is Gross National haPPiness it is not our Gross National Product. I wish them well and prosperous in balanced life. They will. Happiness is 100 percent relational. Happiness is not a noun, it is not a verb, it is a conjunction of connective tissues.’ We have to all work to bring people to the table and create those relationships.” –Eric Weiner When focus on own-self to seek the journey of happiness then happiness will stay away from you forever. Happiness is linked to people around us – Lawrence Wong Happiness is communication with one's self, other and the environment. – Simon Kong

I attended a talk a few months ago given by my friend Boey TS. He introduced a hero journey. It is a very intersting topic for everyone to know it. Hero Journey is not just a goal setting exercise, it has a deep neurological structure in its plan so that it evokes a person conscious and subconscious mind. Hero Journey is very similar to Noble Goal of EQ Model. Again put all the noble goals aside, ask ourselves fundamental questions: What do we want to do in life? How much do you want to spend in life?

Body training comes first. Mind coaching can come later. Training for 4*100m relay is more demanding than individual 100m race. First a runner needs to train a body and a mind later. However at a critical moment a mind fails the test as a passing of baton requires the mind to be cooled and well composed. If the mind is too focused one will fall or missed the passing of a baton. Expectation, Joy, Fear and Euphoria are all inside a runner mind. Congratulations. Usain Bolt, you have a Lightning Team. Your team is excellent. For American teams this is the second time they missed the baton since the Olympics 2008 in Peking. You have all the element of success. Try it again in different ways. Open and fare competition make the best out of individuals and not the other way round - Simon Kong

Multi-tasking is defined as the ability of a person to perform more than one task at the same time. I heard that multi-tasking is an important skill, people admiring multi-taking ability. Are we really talented in performaing multi-tasking role? For example: driving, looking at the road directory, smoking and listening to the handphone at the same time. Talking to the secretary, reading email and writing a short note at the same time. These are not multi-tasking. These are merely handling many tasks within a short span of time. The socalled Multi-tasking tasking can be done is because the tasks involved need very little attention or working memory. Infact multi-tasking would create errors for complex tasks due to insufficient attention pay to the detailed content. People in the world are carving for multi-tasking ability. Very few people know that ADHD people possess multi-taking skills. They can pay attention to many things at any time and yet the world labels them as having attention

" I let go of bad feeling and choose to feel good" - John Selby We get experience by learning from others mistakes and by ourselves. However until we experience and feel the pains from the mistake made, we had not learnt from the experience. In other words when we made mistakes without paying for a price, or people paying the price for us and that experience can not consider as a true experience. When we made mistakes we usually fall into a negative loop of recurring pains. Methods or techniques which can resolve those pains are many. The purpose is to keep the experience of true neurons' connection but removing the bad feeling which associated with the experience. On a positive note, a person needs to keep going the momentum of life, stay away from being stagnant, and stay focus on target to prevent going down the slippery slope. Doing somethings out of routine would help to bring stressful and tearful life back to normal. Let's smiling and ready for a good night sle
