I was invited to give a talk recently, similar to this last year, and was tasked or asked to ‘motivate’ the speaker. To avoid boring them to death and lecturing them, I decided to give a parable. I think it’s quite interesting so I am sharing it here. There are two towers, one is more…
Recently I went for demonstration of a technical product for my company, and the audience was university students, a mixture of people that are either expert in the signalling field, or have no experience at all in it. Since the spectrum is very wide, the presentation aim to glance over almost all the aspects, including…
My daughter has a tendency to complain, a lot. Especially if she finds something to be a bit difficult and she didn’t want to do it in the first place, i.e. it was a task set either by her parents or teacher. She’ll huff and puff while complaining that it is so hard! I’ll then…

It used to be that cars are regarded as a bad asset since the value drops immediately after driven off the showroom, but I think nowadays, nothing ‘beats’ electronics. I saw an advert for the new…
A few months ago, an online post is famous about having her kitchen in almost all white and her appliances from the very expensive brand, SMEG. Among the online comments that I remember was, “How does she manages to keep her kitchen so white?”. I remember because I had the same thought. Turns out, or…
