The New : Sugahut's Coconut Milk Plus Durian When I went to 7-Eleven today, I saw a very interesting new drink on the shelf.  It is a coconut milk + durian drink. Intrigued, I bought one can home. After trying it, I deem that it is not my cup of tea. If you are a person who likes durian flavored soy milk, this might be the drink for you. Or if you are craving for something sweet after your meal, this might be for you too.  The Good : Speaker Leader Champion by Jeremy Donovan and Ryan Avery If you have been following Startupth or my YouTube Channel , you'll remember that I went on a shopping spree and bought 38 books from Big Bad Wolf and did an analysis on how they sell books at such a cheap price . It turns out that one of the books that I bought was a very useful book for public speaking. It is a book named Speaker Leader Champion written by Jeremy Donovan and Ryan Avery. It is a book that will complement your Toastmasters education or it'll be a book...

The New : Feature Creep and What to Do About it. I've read this article from Intercom about feature creep. It is about over cluttered UI and what to do about it. I highly suggest you to read it. If you don't want to read it? Feel free to watch the video above.  The Good : Pull Marketing Done Right Intercom.com did a great job in pulling me to their website and subtly giving me the hint that their communication solution could help me with my communication with customers. It gave me real value. This is why I'm sharing about it now. I think they did well linking their product to a problem faced by their target customers. Bravo! Intercom. 

The New The new thing that I've learnt today is the medical breakthrough that enables doctors to reprogram one type of cell into another type. The procedure takes a very short amount of time and is relatively safe and risk free. We are truly living in an age of advancements. For more information, check out the video below! The Good It is good to see the person that you coach grow. I have been coaching my boss's kid for years and it's very good to see him grow from someone who needs a lot of pacing to someone who can persevere and find the solutions himself. It reminds us that we need to keep learning so that we won't be left behind.

The Good I've finally produced a vlog reflecting the good things and the new things that I've experienced today. Before this, I had a lot of excuses on why I won't do this. Maybe it's because I'm tired or I don't have time to setup the green screen. The key here is that I'm able to reflect on what I've done. Thus I find that the good of the day is that I'm able to do what I want instead of perfect it. If you wait for perfection, you'll wait forever. The New Sea salt caramel latte from Not Just Another Cup The new thing that I've experienced is the a cup of sea salt caramel latte from Not Just Another Cup . I was very excited when I found this coffee because I never thought it existed. I've learnt the existence of this coffee in a story of a couple that's on the verge of divorcing. The wife asked the husband why does he always put salt in her coffee? The husband said because you've always drank it and it's wha...

The New I realized that there are 2 types of responsibility from a video shared by my boss 1. Worker Responsibility - One will only do things that's instructed. Nothing more. Nothing less. This kind of responsibility is very popular during the industrial revolution because that's an age where there's only one best way to do something. Workers just need to follow and they'll be compensated by well they followed the instructions and how much they produced. 2. Professional Responsibility - This kind of responsibility is best explained with the example of a doctor. Have you ever cross check how your doctor work or is there anyone who is there to instruct them? No! This is because their work is immensely complex and specialized. They are responsible for the result regardless of what method that they used. For those of you who can understand Thai, please watch the video below.  So which type of responsibility do you apply in your daily life? 

Hi there. Welcome to another post about the new and good things that I've encountered today. Let's go and see what are the new things and good things that has happened in my life. The New I came across a concept/thing called Baby Box while I was reading Ozy's PDB this morning. Baby Box apparently is a box filled with essential stuffs and a mattress. It is supposed to reduce infant mortality rate by providing essential items for the parents and a safe place where the infant can sleep safely and breath freely. It has been introduce in Finland in the 1930s and it has reduced the baby mortality rate from 1 in 10 children to 2 in 1000 children. Now there's an aspiring startup called Baby Box Co  that aims to bring this Finnish tradition to the US. The Good  All of us sometime needs people to remind us who we us when we are lost. This is why we have friends. I have a friend who's quite discouraged because people didn't see the possibility in his idea. I recor...

This is a new series of blog posts that I'm going to start to share with you what the new and the good that I've learnt in my day. It is meant for both of us to be able to observe the new and good things in our lives. If you've found anything that's new or good, do feel free to share it with me in the comments section. The New I've just realized that MAS Airline's RM 60 Million net income in Q1 of 2017 is absurdly low compared to airlines like AsiaAsia which is raking in an average of 524 million of net income per quarter in year 2016. That's like almost 10 times the difference. Of course if we were to compare it to the world leader American Airlines Group , these two airlines are just speck of dusts. With that said, the numbers stated here are too big for most people to imagine The Good I've learnt about the decision tree that's being used by my boss which I'll share below. To my boss, when there's a a complain, we realize somet...
