Sure - many of you might not have noticed, but that’s essentially the POINT! You’re being robbed. Every single day when you are locked into your routines, you feel comfortable. You don’t stretch. I was in Santa Cruz a couple of years back (I was supposed to head down to Santa Cruz again this year [...]
Here’s an interesting model for change, which I found after doing some research on the web.
The stages and processes are described by Prochaska, DiClemente and Norcross (1992).

Consciousness raising (information and knowledge)
Dramatic relief (role playing)
Environmental reevaluation (how [...]
I realized how fortunate I am to be in a new home with a new office and great new facilities and amenities around me. A lot of the things that I am doing right now have given me a boost to my future direction. It’s been more than just a new move to me. It’s [...]

I think it’s a progressive documentary that will connect with you as a [...]
Every day we look at the news and there’s so much bad news. We haven’t really even scratched the surface of knowing what progress is. If we are so progressive, shouldn’t we be focusing more on the development of ourselves as human beings and as a human race? Many new ideas are weird but just [...]
I did a quick poll a couple of years back to realize that there are about 70% of students in Singapore (based on the number of schools that I’ve been to), who have no idea where they want to go after they finish their studies. the risk gets higher the lower their standard of education [...]
You know the old adage “Confusion means you are learning”. I’d like to update that a bit - being aware and acknowledging that you are confused means you are learning.
