Paradigm Shifts

 

 change is the only constant...

60 years of changes and more to come

Every 10 years cycle is a refresh challenge

The years of changes manifest into super-cycles & changes became more acute, demanding & faster

When young, it was pure dreams and brute force that we cast the iron while hot o

When mid-age comes, schemes & strategies rule while protecting whatever have been built... some are still listlessly searching

Comes old age, that's 70s!!! Lay back, reflect, enjoy the journey, reminisces & tell your stories... too weak to fight physically, too slow to react if time is the essence, too lazy to think

It's best to let it be by the 70s; not about giving up but about crystalizing your bucket of wishes

Time and tides wait for no Man 

If  I can turn the clock back, will I be doing the same? Yes but with lesser mistakes, vanity & silliness

Stock markets and the smart monies are challenged by groupies funds - 蚂蚁搬大象

The aggregator of a leading big player, with the critical mass, can move mountains against logic, GameStop & AMC were examples

But, when logic and sanity are thrown out of the windows, financial melt down is not far

I am not a doomsayer but a pragmatist 

Money is made on the way up as well as down (the bulls & bears make money) but when the broad mass jump in (the sheep go to the abattoir) & the music stops ... somebody's gonna be hurt

It takes a while for prices to climb but the impact of a sudden drop can wipe out many, especially those who are geared

You have been reminded & warned

To the young and young at heart, the shakers and movers; the world has leveled down 

COVID has made many impossibles, possible

The lockdown, slowdown, including complete stop... have brewed as much miseries as there are opportunities

It's a complete paradigm shift

Are you in the new era or caught up and stuck in the old? It is never too late to move, innovate, initiate and go with the flows

GOD willing, I/You will succeed

Over time, you either gain materially or experiences; GO For It

No Problems & All's Blessings

problems do go away ...

Worries, scare, fears, cover ups, tears ...don't solve problems

Get up and get going and take the "bull by the horns"

Problems are like viruses; if left alone, it will mutate and multiply

Clear all problems asap if it/they affects you

Do not let family issues lay bare to manifest - it is worse that lead poisoning - slowly but surely the impact will be felt

笑了就算

Don't bother with others' opinions as the rich will not lend you a dollar nor let you have an advantage

When you are in trouble, many leave at an instant & most of your phone calls will go unanswered

Lending money is easy but you may need to beg to get back what's rightfully yours - chances are, you loss your money and friend in this instance

LiuDeHua 刘德华 was a food deliverer long before grabfood & pandafood came into the picture. He was deemed only a KTV-standard singer by moustache LinZiXiang. 40 years later, he is the top of the charts, actor & singer, & graded as an influential person ahead of ChenLong & LiKaShing in HK

He was a nobody ...to begin with

Believe in yourself and give yourself the chance that nobody will 

Push the envelope and conquer new frontiers

Some people just love to talk you down

There are more selfish & self-entitled persons as eMedia exposed them that the MSM wouldn't dare to

Ministers asking you not to pursue tertiary education & recommends you to take up hawkering, even with tertiary education - did they lead by example to ask their loved ones & family members to do likewise? NO

Not that hawkering is demeaning but many worked hard to get papers and moved up the social ladder

Leaders propagating regression are enemies of the commoners as they suspiciously protect their own turf

Your friends are there to encourage, motivate and give a hand when in need

In this turbulent times, C19 included, seek solace in your GOD, your Faith

People undermine you to keep ahead of the crowd & cohorts fight the invincible competition that he wishes to win against you

Guard against the ill-willed acquaintances 拉黑  You loss nothing by discarding them for their pretenses 

Problems exist and manifest because everyone is studying the problem instead of looking for solutions

Solutions lie with(in) the problems

You may be concern but need not worry; worries don't solve problems

Move with the times and adopt, adapt and localize

The terrains are smoother as you cross & gotten used to

When the mind wonders, let it wonders; for the calm, peaceful and settled mind works wonder

We are Kings upon ourselves 

If fate is predestined, nobody need to work neither does anyone needs to suffer

做好本分  Do your best within your abilities

Tomorrow will be better but today is the best

Make good use of this lull period during C19 & build your dream tomorrow, today

 

  

Water - Adopt, Adapt & Sustain

go with the flow...

Water flow towards the sea

Like time, it never backslides ...all's gone, that's gone

No two days are the same, no two leaves are created equal, no paternal twins' journeys are similar

If it should happens, it will 该来的已经在路上了 。。。。天意

Man proposes, GOD disposes - COVID has made the world cleaner, slow the madness, restore some semblances of equilibrium where Nature returns

Man walks towards the end after birth; routes are different though

Follow the trend, create the routes & set your ideals

Be nimble; adopt, adapt & fill the needs of Society and flood their wants with answers

Wants are fleeting and needs are necessities

Wants offer premium returns and needs must be met at whatever costs; minimal if unaffordable

Success goes to those who fill the needs & milk their wants 

The young & young-at-heart see opportunities 

Chinese New Year is the time to reflect 

The change of duty-zodiac invites monumental changes to the year & give every opportunity to change - YOU are in luck

It's not about NY Resolutions but a total change, assisted by manifesting cosmic forces

When you change, the world changes with you - change is the only constant

Determination, perseverance and grit bring forth successes whereas obstinacy & stubbornness are negative forces that lead you toward an unrewarding ends     

We cannot live on "HOPEs" alone; you need to action your mind & crystalize your dreams - work on it

Your best will manifest when you challenge your current norms

There is order in chaos

The world around you changes; the war zones, the political theatres, religious houses, the schools

Our globe is at an almost standstill; grinding to a near halt but nothing stops

Before - it changes in form

Now - it changes in substance   

C19 levels down & allow many to innovate, adopt, adapt & move ahead of the curves

Those who are trapped complaining, disrupted, unable to move or simply waiting will loss precious time & will backslide

Time and tides wait for no Man

These were the ugly pods that first appeared 

But, with patience, time and care, they sprouted into lovely flowers in due course

There is a time for everything 天时地利人和
 
Although we may be gifted with a bright future but we need to work towards it 

When the time is due, the results are shown

Many are frustrated by the lockdown & the inability to travel abroad 

Some have develop eSolutions to overcome the challenges of the lockdown

AI & big data come in handy to bridge the demands of eSolutions

Be like water; water takes the shape of the surroundings

Water seeps through hard surfaces & finds it's way downstream & occupies all available areas, however fine

The future is here

Change with the time & adapt... the conquerers of tomorrow are the innovators and adaptors of today

It's not how to get rich now but to create alternative income sources that flow continuously where when one stops, a new one surfaces

Be contented, be compassion, be faithful with the good Lord

Man proposes, GOD disposes but you will receive only when you are still within the good Lord's circle

Everyone has a Guardian Angel & he is the bridge between YOU and the good Lord

Nobody fails except by himself - be fluid

Crystal Ball Gazing

let it flow as most cannot be forcefully controlled...

Stock prices are up, commodities prices are inching up, Bitcoin is up, property prices are up...

Global employment is down, jobs are scarce, incomes dropped, C19 cases are up

Quite an anomaly

Many soothsayers are predicting calamities when the 6 planets line linearly ; from earthquakes to wars to famines, including virus mutation & extermination of 50% of humans

Logically, there will be food shortages as the last few harvests were not delivered to the marketplaces and to those in need due to Covid and the disruption in logistics & that discourages farmers from planting more

Natural calamities are unavoidable, if happened

But, wars are avoidable, save for greed & vanity of Man; Thucydides Trap is just another excuse to pitch Man versus Man

Massive printing of (paper) monies will only undermine the trust in, henceforth values of, money

The aberration in upward climb of newly listed IPOs, especially those in eCommerce & eSolutions, tell a story; smart money is looking for save heaven

The multiples defy logic and any level-minded investors but, in a bull market, even the fool makes money

Stock market's major correction is near It's not how sharp it may drop but the speed & impact of the drop that breaks any rational minds

Be aware &  be forewarned: caution is thrown to the winds

As the world gets accustomed to Covid, it mutates & become more fatal & contagious

Stay safe, keep away from the crowds, exercise to remain healthy & drink lots of water

Nothing is safe-proof, not vaccination, not bravery nor YOLO...the struggle to breathe is not unlike those dying and catching their last breath

Be safe, not sorry

Every citizen is entitled to their birthrights of priorities within their country & are protected by the Constitution

As much as everyone takes pride to defend his country & stand tall, his country must reciprocate & "care & share" and prioritize employment, housing, healthcare, food & water affordability to the citizens & maintain a reasonable (reasonably lower) costs of living

Why would anyone (employer) wants to employ someone (servant) & pays him (servant) handsomely to lord over him (employer)? There are no fools but level minded, fairly satisfied people who do not mind being a little short-changed at times

Let there be real equality...revive The Pledge for a better Singapore & make Singapore Great Again

These men ask for just the same thing: fairness, and fairness only. This is, so far as in my power, they, and all others, shall have -Abraham Lincoln

In uncertain times, lie low, learn more, upskill, stay safe & be prepared. When opportunity presents, pounce
