Coming from a family where both my parents are strong buddhist, it is very difficult to be a christian as there are often disputes over religion as my elder sister and brother decided to accept Christianity. It wasn't easy but I admire my sister for being able to stand strong and firm on her belief in Jesus Christ and finally my parents accepted her faith even though it was an uphill battle for both parties. - Stanley Ng

The BCG Growth-Share Matrix is a portfolio planning model developed by Bruce Henderson of the Boston Consulting Group in the early 1970's. It is based on the observation that a company's business units can be classified into four categories based on combinations of market growth and market share relative to the largest competitor, hence the name "growth-share". Market growth serves as a proxy for industry attractiveness, and relative market share serves as a proxy for competitive advantage. The growth-share matrix thus maps the business unit positions within these two important determinants of profitability. - Stanley Ng

Doesn't it amaze you that a fifty dollar note is still wanted by everyone even though it has been crumbled into a ball and every stepped on until it was completed crushed ? Think about this for a second, why do you think people still want it even though it was crumbled and crushed ? Yes, it is because the fifty dollar note still retains it's value and at the end of the day it is still worth fifty dollars and can be put into good use for purchasing other things. Now, my only question to you is, how much is your value worth ? - Stanley Ng

How often do we hear this common phrases of us telling ourselves "I don't have enough time, I am too busy, I have a tight schedule." We are not sure what exactly we are busy with but one thing is for sure, our thoughts tells us that we do not have time for other things. - Stanley Ng

I have successfully installed a free application that allows me to read a holy bible from my Omnia without any hassle. The application name is called Pocket e-Sword for windows mobile, searching the contents of the holy bible is a breeze as they are all drop down menu with a list of chapter and verse number to choose from. Just like a normal bible, it even allows you to highlight sentences and insert your own notes. With the help of the drop down menu, searching for sentences on your electronic bible is much faster as compared to a traditional bible. - Stanley Ng

Many Omnia users have feedback that they have encountered problems that their Java Games do not have any sound when played and they also wish to install their Java Games onto their Storage Card instead of using their device storage memory. I manage to find a solution to their problems and that is to use JBlend instead of the original Java that comes preloaded with the Omnia. - Stanley Ng

1) Leadership is doing the right thing, focus on effectiveness. Management is doing things right, focus on efficiencies. 2) Leadership is the act of leading by example, standing up to what you think is right, showing the way, holding the purpose and espousing the positive beliefs. 3) Leaders not only say they want to do the "right thing" in relation to vision, mission and values, but they follow through with appropriate actions, they "walk the way they talk." 4) There is NO secret formula or quick fix. Learning to be a leader begins and ends with you. 5) Leadership requires discipline, moderation and a willingness to listen to other points of view. It may require compromise, willingness to try something new or a willingness to perhaps fail. 6) Leaders must have character, a knowledge and understanding of the alternatives to various courses of action and the confidence in themselves to take an occasional risk if necessary. - Stanley Ng

Power Negotiation Q1) How many of you here do negotiation everyday ? Q2) How many of you have to send request to seek approval from others when doing a project ? Q3) How many of you have to compete with other people for time and resources ? Q4) When you go to Mac Donald’s, you are presented with so many meals and you are spoilt for choices, when you are deciding which meal to have, are you negotiating ? Yes, who are you negotiating with ? There you see the answer lies in these questions, we negotiate most of the time. - Stanley Ng

This is a JDM Honda Accord with a K20A engine dohc vtec 155 bhp engine capacity 1998cc automatic transmission with 17 inch light weight sports rims and low profile racing tires. One of the great built in feature is the ability to switch to manual override with a + and - option just like tiptronic, great for over taking and gives you the ultimate control to unleash the vtec. Another flawless design is the hand stitched leather seats that simply takes your breath away. I personally dislike the built in audio system as it does not allow you to tune to that many radio channels and frequency support is limited. The lack of fog lamps on this ride and single exhaust pipe is also a major turn off but overall, this ride has potentials for tuning as it is K20A engine and would look really fierce with a mugen bodykit. - Stanley Ng

We all have different personalities, wants and needs. Different ways of showing our emotions. Navigating through this all takes tact and cleverness - especially if we hope to succeed in life. This is where emotional intelligence becomes important. - Stanley Ng

Like a baby when newly born, every step the baby makes, gets him or her closer to mastering how to walk. This is very important as only by stepping out of our comfort zone, will we grow and learn new things. Therefore, I would strongly urge you to do the things you are most afraid of today or you never thought possible and after doing it, you will acquire a new skill and have a new experience. - Stanley Ng

How come when we get more educated, we may some time find ourselves with even more problems than before ? By right as we get more educated, our problems should decrease. Just a show of hands how many of you here step into office everyday to look for problems ? Or do we step into office, hoping nothing happens ? What we may not be aware of, is that without problems, we may not even have a job to start with. Entrepreneurs and bosses seek out problems, to them problems = money, when our customers have a problem, we help solve it and then the customer pays us for it. So you see, without problems, we may not have a job. - Stanley Ng

When I was a young man, I know a lot of rich people. Being a young man back then, I was always curious how come some of my friends could acquire such wealth. Therefore, one day while having a casual conversation with a friend who owns a chain of restaurants and bakery business regionally, just out of curiosity, I asked him "Mind sharing with me, how did you become so rich ?" - Stanley Ng

I just added a MyBlogLog Recent Readers widget to my sidebar.I really like it because it puts a face to all of those obscure urls that normal statistics counters only show. BUT, I have noticed a short lag time loading the sidebar because it is so graphics intensive. I will monitor the performance of this widget and decide if it is worthwhile keeping or if it negatively impacts this site to the point that it needs to be ditched. It’s really nice to see all those attractive faces smiling at me and thanks so much for dropping by. And while you’re at it, please feel free to add yourself to the transcenture's Mybloglog growing community. - Stanley Ng

Michael Porter's National Diamond framework resulted from a study of patterns of comparative advantage among industrialized nations. It works to integrate much of Porter's previous work in his competitive five forces theory, his value chain framework as well as his theory of competitive advantage into a consolidated framework that looks at the sources of competitive advantage sourcable from the national context. It can be used both to analyze a firms ability to function in a national market, as well as analyse a national markets ability to compete in an international market. - Stanley Ng
