Image
Why innovative? What is the good thing about innovation? Well, today I'm going to share with you a product I found which is very interesting and innovative! That is, the Basslet, a wearable subwoofer for your body. Using a whole new technology for sound, it delivers the beats and basslines of your music directly to you – so you can literally feel the music. Here are some of the thoughts after discovering this product in this YouTube video . You can watch it to check out other innovative products! Alright, back to the Basslet. I think Basslet shows the essence of innovation because it utilise the opportunity of the long-existing and ubiquitous wrist watch very well. Being innovative is not about creating something that is completely new. If you look at the Basslet, it looks just like a normal wrist watch. Since wrist watch has existed for a very long time, so everyone is comfortable with it. Thus, wearing Basslet will not be uncomfortable and do not need to take time to get used to ...

Julian Treasure: How to speak so that people want to listen

  Julian Treasure:  How to speak so that people want to listen A reflection by Patrick Kong I’ve just finished watching this Ted-talk sharing by Julian Treasure and I find it very meaningful and worth to share. Here is my reflection after watching it. In the beginning, Julian talked about the 7 deadly sins of speaking. And below is the list of it: - Gossip - Judging - Negativity - Complaining - Excuses - Lying - Dogmatism I totally agree with him about this as I would like to talk to someone who behaves like these. But when I think more about it, isn’t that sometimes I also do the same thing? So, here, it’s really good reminder for myself not to behave like these.  He then introduced us an acronym called HAIL, where it stands for Honesty, Authenticity, Integrity and Love. Honesty means that you need to clear and straight when you speak, while Authenticity means you need to be yourself. Integrity is about be your word, which means you’re doing what you’re say...

Importance of Transferable Skills in the Workplace

Image
Transferable skills in the workplace is very important but sadly sometime people may overlook at them. In this blog, I'll share my view on the importance of teamwork, personal motivation and time management. Firstly, good in teamwork can help a person to adapt to the team faster and deliver high quality of work. Having teamwork skill helps in preventing conflict among the colleagues and makes the collaboration more efficient. On the other hand, personal motivation helps in delivering high quality of work as a self-motivated person will stay focus on his/her work most of the time and enjoy it. Lastly, the time management helps in keeping the progress of the tasks assigned and preventing going over the deadlines. To recapitulate, I strongly believe these skills are important and never being overlooked.                                            [source: livecareer]

Bullying at Workplace - Identify and Deal with it

Bullying has becoming more and more common. The number of cases rise rapidly over the years. It can be found everywhere in the world and the age range of the victims suffer from this is large, from child to adult or even elders, which means anyone can be the victims. Bullying can be found at the workplace. It causes big impacts towards the organisations, such as profit loss, death, bad working environment, etc.  People are often hesitant to make complaint about this, whether they are the victims or when they see it happens to others. Why is this happening? It is most likely because people are worrying that making a complain may affect their future in the company, especially when they are bullied by someone with higher rank in the company. The employee with higher rank may end up without been penalised which is discouraging for people to make a complaint as it is not going to work and instead they may be victimised as they are at lower rank. The working environment is also one of th...
