A message I often hear which is coming back stronger to me through various media (readings or the following nooma video). This is something i ought to keep pursuing coz it's something we ought to set samples for the next generation. I have to say I have improved a lot especially I was a typical Martha but still a lot more to go...sigh...

47) 從商之道
李嘉誠的從商之道 from business weekly article 九十％時間先想失敗
”好謀而成、分段治事、不疾而速、無為而治”~cＣ
「好謀而成」是凡事深思熟慮，謀定而後動。
「分段治事」是洞悉事物的條理，按部就班的進行。
「不疾而速」充足的準備資料(老早想到假如碰到問題的時候應怎麼辦?)，當機會來臨時自能迅速把握，一擊即中。
「無為而治」則要有好的制度、好的管治系統來管理。
46) Simple Rules of Governance
My faith governs how i speak, act and engage others but at emotional times, I often break this rule. That's why EQ is so important and comes into play. More importantly, without EQ, you cannot live happily in this stressful HK environment!
Something i observed in my company is the lack of simple basic & static rules of governance. Everyday, my boss keeps changing the rules and basically no one can follow him. He's definitely a poor leader without followers. May be one day he'll read this blog and see the following good sample by Murthy at Infosys from Business weekly article "贏得尊敬就贏了財富".

Infosys公司治理5大原則
1. The softest pillow is a clear conscience.（問心無愧）
2. When in doubt, disclose.（有疑問的事，就揭露）
3. Don't use corporate resources for personal benefit.（勿假公濟私）
4. Put long-term interests ahead of short-term ones.（捨短利取長利）
5. A small slice of a large pie is better than a large slice of a small pie (that is, the company's growth depends on management's sharing profits through stock options and other means) .（分享越多，成長越快）

45) 洞察力, 思考力 & 執行力
What's lacking in the new generation? Common sense and the ability to observe, think and execute. This is something i learnt from my first HK job. It is something I believe one (esp. business) must need for surviving in this ever changing world just like what 大前研一 said in the business weekly article (唯有整合者，才能成為解答者):

"Sense is more important than knowledge"
"在二十一世紀，感受比知識更重要...知識在二十一世紀變得很廉價. 更何況現在網路搜尋引擎這麼發達？ 所以真正的是，面對困難時的獨立思考能力 & 執行力."
