Going to the post office can be amusing at times. Today I went there during lunch time to send a reviewer copy of my book to Daunt Books, a big bookshop in London.  I put a promotional sticker (please see the photo) on the parcel. The counter staff asked me what it was and I […]

  One main reason of Wearing-Different-Hats (WDH) is to convey your message to the target audience effectively. In another words, it is to package your message and present YOURSELF in a way that will be more receptive by the recipient. A lesson learnt for me when I promote my book to a total stranger is […]

Another clarification: Wearing-Different-Hats (WDH) is not the same as multi-tasking. The latter refers to the fact that a person can SIMULANTEOUSLY doing more than one task effectively (or adequately at a minimum). For example, it was pointed out to me that I had the “talent” of carrying on a conversation with 3 different people in […]

  Last night I kicked off the launching of my book globally via the social media including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. The initial results: My friends are very support. Thank you folks :> 1) I got close to 20 Facebook Likes and a lot of encouraging comments. 2) A high school friend in Hong Kong […]

Apparently the number of copies sold can be a special appeal to some people.  A colleague told me that he would buy the 100th & 101st copies of my book.  Done and sold. Anyone up for the 1,000th copy of my book?  Bidding starts right now!  

As it is not turning water into wine, so what is the big deal? Ice melts into water under room temperature anyway! Actually, I meant turning the Ice bucket challenge into Water bucket challenge. I took the challenge yesterday with 6 other colleagues for charity. I was the last person taking the bucket. When it […]

With 62 copies sold at the conference today, the total sales figure has reached triple digit! The first milestone is 1,000 in 12-month, so we are now more than 10% of that. We still have quite a bit to go, but I am very much encouraged. Thank you for all your support. I will report […]

So much fun on a single day! Tomorrow I will have my first corporate presentation of my book in front of 50+ colleagues in Holland. It will take place right before lunch, so I can get the butterflies out of my stomach before I can actually eat. Not necessary a bad thing in itself :> […]

At the outset, let me clarify that wearing-different-hats (WDH) is not the same as having multiple personality disorder. The former refers to the ability to strategically, consciously and intentionally take up distinct and different roles as needed. The latter one is a mental illness in the form of personality disorder that a single person unconsciously […]

Just imagine me fighting my way against the pouring rain and gusting wind with a small foldable umbrella (obviously not folded at that time :>) on the beach at 9:30pm last night searching for the beach club. Believe me – It was “slightly” less glamorous than the film “Singing in the Rain” suggests. The party […]
