This follows my post on November 20 on “Think Out of The Box”. I have almost forgotten this very question I left at the end of the post. My apologies.
I guess you have had your answer already.
As to the workshop I mentioned, you can imagine all sorts of answers from the floor. 2 is the standard one. Some said 4, 5, 10, or 20. Also, a few yelled out loudly at the back, ”Infinity.”
Use your imagination, it can be any number, can be 1 or infinity, said the speaker.
Why 1? He waved in his hands the two parts of his pen. As he put the two together, he said, “one plus one makes …… one.” He was not wrong.
What about infinity? He had made a number of examples, but this one should top all of them. He said, what happens when you have one man and one woman? 
It was a very enjoyable event. We all had good laughs. I am sure everyone had brought home some valuable ideas. As for me, it is the sense of freedom and space, and the certainty that there is really no limit as to what I could become.
We are what we think!
Live Life, Junius.

I had the privilege of listening to a speech by Arthur Yap of Penang over the weekend and since then the word Change has been ringing over my mind. “Change! Change! Change! Change, la….”, he said. Now this seed of Change is growing inside my head, thanks to Arthur. By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed his speech, his passion and humour, though sometimes I don’t understand the parts in Bahasa Malaysia.
Change is a powerful word, no question about it. For decades, the word “Think” has been dominating the business world, to the credit of IBM’s successful branding, which is equally empowering. However, if I have to choose one now, I would prefer Change because it implies action.
I don’t know if you would agree with me on this one. Sometimes, we’re sort of getting to a state where we feel comfortable and lose the impetus to run the extra miles. At this stage, things generally come to a plateau, not going down but not going up either. The mind might be on holiday. And, suddenly we find something which we can focus and take on new heights. I think this time I have found it.
It is not just Change. It is Change, Change, Change, Change, Change, la…..
It is interesting how the mindset can so easily be tuned (if you want it to) and start to show in the ways you do things. Because of the word, I have in so many times, deliberately chosen to do things differently and the feeling is nice. I know that I am the reason for what I become.
If you are in the kind of plateau I describe, or the mind about to finish its holiday, why not try this word. Say it so many times to yourself, say it out loudly, in front of the mirror or what, and see if it works.

Things has changed so much over the last twenty, thirty years that at times we couldn’t help feeling a bit off balance.
For instance, the notion of working hard is no longer playing such an importance as before. More and more, people find the answer to achieving better results through collaboration. In other words, we are moving from a “ME” mentality to a “WE” mentality.
This paradigm shift places emphasis on two very important elements in wealth creation, namely, teamwork, and leverage. These concepts are not new, but it really makes a big difference when we can apply them with total conviction and persistence
Teamwork if put right, as I imagine, is like suddenly having the extra turbo charge once the various parts are working in unison. Things can flow so effortlessly and feeling is great.
