7 Dangerous Acts after meal

1*) Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes. From my life calculator indicating that it is equivalent of 5 years life reduction.

2*) Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1 hour before meal.

3*) Don't drink cold drink after meal – The cold water will solidify the fat in the food and gradually would be causing hard to digest, the residues of such food would change to some kind of toxin material, eventually the chance of getting caner is very high.

4*) Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.

5*) Don't bathe - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestion in our stomach.

6*) Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

7*) Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

Without Limits

Man proposes, God disposes. This does not mean that we will sit down doing nothing would have the desire result. Nor we work very hard but there will rely on luck or some other spiritual forces to create the expected result. Recently I have riveted a movie that was an inspiration to our work.

American runners Steve Prefontaine brought me so many images I know will never leave me. Pre, Steve’s nickname name loved running as his sport fanatic.
He inspired me a lot from his impeccable running technique and his undefeated mindset.

Prefontaine was an aggressive runner, insisting on going out hard and not relinquishing leads, a tactic that his fans and fellow competitors admired. He was quoted as saying, "No one will ever win a 5,000 meter by running an easy two miles. Not against me". Prefontaine gained national attention, and then appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated at age nineteen. He received Gold medal at Munich Olympian Games.

Donald Southerland converted a dream of Pre’s coach Bill Bowerman into luminous screen performance. Bill, being a coach in Oregon University, used to hand made seamless running shoe by using his wife’s Waffle iron for Pre, used to be a fan of Adidas, and found that Bill’s shoes fitted him well He then asked for a few more pairs for his next conquer at Montreal! Donald Southerland rewarded the Golden Globe and Golden Satellite prize at 1999 as Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in this movie “Without Limits”. This is a story for an athlete who has passion in running could met with unanimous applause.

A poor peasant girl once bought ten eggs from market, on the way home she met a man who asked her to borrow her five eggs and he will return her ten eggs the next day. She thought for a while and did not hesitate and gave five eggs to him. On the way back home, she started to feel glad that by next day she might have fifteen eggs.However the basket with only five eggs would be rocking each other on the corrugated trail. And all of the 5 eggs were broken after the two hours’ walk. She was so scared and afraid that the master will get angry on her and get sick the night when she reached her master house.

This story tells us stay focus and work out the best you can from your job in the company! I do not suggest to speculate in the stock market as 95% of the people get nothing after a while in it unless you know what is the things doing behind the scene.

We have heard a lot of bad news such as lay offs, pay cut, high unemployment rate 5.6%, 7 % GDP drop in first Quarter, overall export slash 23% as the worst after 1954. The Chrysler is one of three US car makers go registered chapter 11 as I had expected in 2008. Now it is a Fait Accompli!

When you have chosen reasonable, meaningful, and aligned goals, pursue them with all your heart. The goal can be your own saving target, your oversea marriage vacation, delivery plan for the machine for customer…. As for most us, we may not aware that we have already chosen by destiny that probably we are working in one of the best companies in Hong Kong, thought people may be criticizing that I am more or less can not avoid the old spook of paranoid of flattery on our company.
Guess what who has the best performance in the past 40 years and will not have any lay off? The largest bank in the world laid off 50,000 staff in a memorandum signed by a pedantic CEO. A new appointed CEO of a TV broadcasting company has announced that no plan to have next layoff in coming future in January, 4 months later they cut another 150 job in the news department last week.

The most sizable bank had to close its mini bank services, erased those 150 Prominent managers name from the list of staff. Who care that they have possibly contributed 10 Billions profits for the company?

Misfortune tells us what fortune is. Our CEO has announced to the media that we do not have lay off culture. And we will use alternate ways to skim off the fat and keep polishing our sword to fight with this economy turmoil. We have made use o this opportunity in working out many amazing new products in the past 7 months.

When the market bounces, we will capture another significant market share as we did in 2002 and 2004.

Pre's Rock is a memorial at the site of the roadside boulder where Prefontaine passed away at age 24! It is located on one of the hill's "blind" curves which resulted in Prefontaine's fatal car accident. The rock is just across the Willamette River from the east end of Pre's Trail, the memorial features a plaque with a picture of Prefontaine that reads:

For your dedication and loyalty
To your principles and beliefs...
For your love, warmth, and friendship
For your family and friends...
You are missed by so many
And you will never be forgotten

We wish everyone is an honesty marathon man, work consistent and persistently with passion on each of our position, many a little makes a mickle.
Our Company will be another Hong Kong Success Story of “Without Limits”! The time will remain to be one of the witnesses.

Celine Dion Sings Alive with Elvis "If I can Dream"

Celine Dion appeared to walk out and stand next to Elvis as the two sang a duet of the classic "If I can Dream." It was like he was raised from the death.

Everyone has been asking how it was done. It was a hologram. Estimated cost of this was said to have cost $100,000 and it is said it took months to create.

Prior to the performance, Celine practiced with an Elvis impersonator. She sounded great singing with Elvis. The duet was fantastic.

A truly amazing use of modern day technology brings Elvis Presley back to life in front of your own eye's.

Katie Kirkpatrick's Story

The girl is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 lying next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23. The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US, Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication. Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemotherapy to end.

In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss. She managed to make up the best a bride could be.

An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.

Nick's parents were excited to see her son marrying his high school sweetheart.

Katie, in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube, listening songs from her husband and friends.

Katie had to take a few rests during the wedding as her pain did not allow her to be standing up for long periods.

Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think.....

Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it last. We should stop making our lives complicated.

Be happy, be kind to all friend and family, smile as life can be so short and God may need you all in sudden. Show mercy and love to people and support them. As there is nothing on Earth a blessing to give than to take!

Do the right thing

One day when I returned home, I saw that there was a lot of grasses in front of my flat. My daughter later told me that she was house keeping the rabbit’s cage and she dumped all the grasses in front of the house. So, I became hysterically mad about myself as I was the one to teach my beloved daughter to have a sense of responsibility. Later on, she said the cleaner would come to clean the building at night. That may be her excuse!
Little things are great for little man

Many of us do not understand the great significance of the little contributions that we do daily. Small contributions, on daily basis, can grow into a big contribution to the company in the long run. For example, for Toyota, there is the “Kaisin” programme which is seeking everyone to improve a little bit in his own role!

Now, we have to face with the century’s worst economy crisis. That causes most of the financial vehicles to melt down, world’s largest bank to be diminished more than 80% in a few months, lay-off pile up…with 4,000,000 job loss in USA… and it is still unknown whether the worst has come to an end…

The global semiconductor industry will continue to witness a revenue slump until 2013, forecasts given by research firm Gartner. The firm also said that worldwide semiconductor sales are projected to generate $194.5 billion in 2009. World global chip sales dropped 31% in Jan 2009. That may remain dormant until 2013.

The new niche
Although we are one of the world’s largest equipment suppliers, we are also affected by the world economy’s turbulence as we rely on our semiconductor houses and assembly houses for our product sales. There is forecast that the IC market will not be as good as 2008 and full recovery may be realized only by 2013. Discrete and power, which is dependent on China’s drive for increasing the domestic consumption, is still strong as domestic electrical appliances are sold to rural districts. Until the current old stock of the specific product is consumed, there will be no new need for equipment, nor new need for discrete or power device manufacturing equipment purchase.

On the other hand, LED will be an emerging market due to the drives from various national energy clauses for greener energy, the multiplication for more efficient illumination devices, household illumination, replacement incandescent light in Traffic light, for public TV, BLU for LCD TV and hand phone and the need for decorative light and signage board… We can see that the LED will continue to grow. If we can capture the market at this instant, there is a very large market potential out there.

Our Difference
Being a staff of company, a sense of responsibility is to support the captains’ instruction in steering the ship on the rough seas... and whatever seasick would be temporary and once we surpassed the storm, there will be rainbow. Now, all of us need to cooperate and work hard - almost 180 percent as I mentioned to Bloggers of mine because 130 percent is not enough at this time of the day.

Our company is different from our competitors. Many of them are busy concentrating on cost cutting and lay offs. On contrast, our staff are busy innovating and creating new products and lending more support to our customers. Our Service Engineers are busy solving outstanding issues. Along the way, when the customer needs a new feature in their products, we will definitely be the first to know and eventually we can become their choice partner!

What is the Right Thing?
Now, this question: “Do you have a sense of responsibility?” The probable answer is ... yes. Most people do. Most of the employees do have a certain sense of responsibility. So what is this sense of responsibility?

We can help manage the entire process from concept to implementation of running with complete visibility to ensure the maximum recognition with and viability of your brand. This boils down to YOUR will to do the right thing, combined with OUR knowledge and experience.
Firstly, we need to know that doing the "right thing" will increase the impact to our organization. This is something the wider society desperately needs. Likewise, business needs to be nurtured. We can strive to build a caring and responsible organization.

People of the wider society will also be more willing to deal with responsible organization when it comes to businesses and services. This is all about trust. This is something outside the normal parameters of profit.
So, how could you do the right thing? How could you be recognized as being responsible and of beneficial to society?
You need to evolve into something better. Have a plan. Visualize.
There are several ways which you can promote a sense of responsibility in our staff.

1. Be a good role model
Your staff watch everything you do. If they see you as being responsible, they will be more inclined to be more responsible.

2. Provide Structure
Empty talk has no effect on your peers so you have to work in such a way to show to your staff that being hard working is equally important in maintaining a healthy work force. People said work smart does not require a person to work hard. To a certain extent, this is not right because when a smart guy works harder, the effect is not 1x multiple but it may become 10x multiples!
You can help your staff to stay focus and succeed by creating a structure in which he can succeed. Coaching on the need for team work is our responsibility.

3. Keep track on sales and service programmes and production progress status
By creating lists, tally sheets or charts, your staff can monitor his own progress on sales and service activities. This will remind him of the jobs he has yet to complete. It will also allow him to achieve a sense of worth and pride when a task has been completed. This, in turn, will promote a sense of responsibility and high self-esteem.

4. Empowerment
Try to load more work to your staff provided they are being well monitored for the progress and if they can handle the work on their own, the higher self-esteem they will have. Paradoxically, in many situations, the lesser you help your staff, the more you will be helping them.

5. Set arm stretched goal for the staff
Do you demand $10 million or $15 million sales per quarter in their territories? Set some guidelines for them to realize your expectations. If they meet those set targets, their successes will definitely contribute to their self-esteem.

6. Allow adequate time for the task
To learn new products, to prepare sales speeches and to finish sales reports - all these need time. The sales team who rushes through may follow directions by mimicking what you are doing but may not understand the significance of the task or the new proposal. Furthermore, if insufficient time is given, you may be applying pressure to your sales team and they may become discouraged. So remember that building responsibility takes time.

7. Keep encouraging your staff
It is common to make minor mistakes in our work. Allow space for that mistake. When a staff is occasionally discouraged either by the weight of his responsibility or by his failure to be responsible, you can counteract such discouragement by reminding him of his successes in previously performed tasks. Recollect, with the staff, the successes and not failures.

8. Highlight the logical consequences of irresponsible behaviour
Once you are certain that your staff is capable of performing a task and has enough time to do so, then he needs to bear the consequences (the effects) of irresponsibility (the cause) if he does not perform the task well. These consequences should be neither punitive nor abusive.

9. Set fair and sensible guidelines
We all need guidelines, staff and managers alike. They serve as boundaries to establish what is and what is not acceptable. Managers begin setting boundaries for their team mates. To be effective, the guidelines need to be well thought out, logical and fair to all involved.In conclusion, as responsibility is essential to the development of good character and business success, it is wise for manager to give thought on how they can facilitate the process. If your goal is to have an educated, responsible and well-adjusted sales team, then the Production Engineer, Support group and your whole division team need to work together, sometimes making sacrifices, to achieve that goal.

Will it be easy? No! But it will be worthy of your time and energy!

Virtue of Goodness

No one will escape the death, what the best to thing about what was we have done?Well in one day we will face with this issue, no matter you is the CEO of a company, or President the country.

You are neither a better nor worse person for the sorts of car you drive, the size of your house, the rank in the company nor the performance of your mutual funds
Remember what really matters in your life?


Imagine that today is your last day on Earth. Now make a list of things that you have accomplished, all the things that you are proud of, all the things that make you happy.

Is that your have bought the Daytona Paul Newman 1957 watch at Christie, find a near mint Royal Ballet LP from eBay? You can have luck and cash to buy your best beloved number “HK1” for your car?
Porsche has a plan to deliver your new grey silver Porsche Cayence? Or a chance that the super model in Hong Kong in inviting you for a dinner at Restaurant?

I do not think so, may be you feel regret that you have not forgotten to forgive one of your friends who has been betrayed by you.
You did not return the money that you borrowed from your good friend who may be selling one of his properties for supporting you.

When a successful aerospace engineer (Will Smith) accidentally kills seven other including his beloved wife, in an accident, he did not find a better ways to set things right than to enhance the lives of those deserving stranger.
He sets our to find the recipients good enough for this Seven Pound of his fresh!
But he falls in love, he is faced with dilemma in such a selections.

"Seven Pounds" is a touching movie as we see on either that there are such kind of decent people who can offer such gravitas, may not be great Oscar nomination, but soon you will discover that some one in life happy endings comes with a dreadful cost..

My question is there really such kind of people on Earth, my answer is yes. There may have alternate way to help people, Bill gate donates most of his fortune to help the other.
There is a great contracditcion for the Chinese or Hong Kong Chinese who can have such virtue to help others. But all in different way to make his target achieved, helping people is one of the deeds that offer us a way cherish our heart.

There is a lot of rich people, amongst the Run Run Shaw is the one I respect most in Hong Kong. He was borne din 1907. Over the years, he has donated billions of dollars to charity, schools and hospitals. His name is on many buildings in Hong Kong and China mainland due to his generous donations. The fourth constituent college of the collegiate Chinese University of Hong Kong is also named after Sir Run Run, whose patronage made the establishment of the college possible.

He donated $100 million Hong Kong Dollars for disaster relief after the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake. He has not the top richest ten nor even hundred people in Hong Kong, but the share of his donation is probably the No.1 in Hong Kong. Will that be a positive tuition to those who are so much reluctant to donate…?

In the Suchuan donation Faye Wong donated HKD6,000,000.00 where’re more richer people like two of the top 4 King singers had a donation on HKD100,000.00. Well we can not measure one good virtue! If everyone does their best that will be changing the world.

The Hong Kong economy is struggling at it down turn, and imagine the top 100 richest people could donate 30% of each of their properties, the Hong Kong will be changed.

As 30% of their properties will not change or degrade on their standard of living, as the former secretary of treasurer said, you do not feel you own the money until you spend it… What is the difference of spending 1B USD and 10B USD… in Arithmetic’s illustration, that is 10 times in value. But for spending, I do not see anything much different! Am I right?
