A much more powerful way to think about breaking limits
https://upsert.svbtle.com/a-more-powerful-way-to-think-about-breaking-limits
Upsert is writing on the Svbtle. March 12, 2016. A much more powerful way to think about breaking limits. Most of us have heard the phrase the sky’s the limit. That sounds nice. But think about it, how many of us have our lives impacted by that thought? In fact, I can’t even remember when was the last time that thought crossed my mind. After all, there’s not much of the sky for a few months of the haze season in Singapore. But something lateral do happen every day - we imagine. Try our best to be humble&...

Why consider the Sales Profession?
https://upsert.svbtle.com/why-join-a-sales-team
Upsert is writing on the Svbtle. January 24, 2016. Why consider the Sales Profession? It’s not uncommon to hear people say, I don’t wanna do sales. It’s also not uncommon to hear people say, Lee Kuan Yew is the greatest salesman in Singapore. I take this however, as a gross understatement. To bring Singapore from a swamp to become what it is today in less than 50 years, he can’t be the greatest salesman in Singapore. He has to be the greatest salesman in a generation, at least. So why join a sales team?

Upsert is writing on the Svbtle. May 22, 2016. The Story that Became the Vision. This is my short story. Albeit with some reluctance, I think it’s a good time for me to share about the underlying drive for me all these years - doing what I’ve been doing, coming to where things are right now. I share this as a founder of Heartzmail, for our present and future customers, co-workers and investors who will come to be a part of our journey. My story goes back quite a long way as I reflect. Once, I fancied mak...

Upsert is writing on the Svbtle. May 6, 2016. Forget right, wrong, good or bad reasonings. There’s just reasonable reasonings for new generation startup leaders and teams. I just had a good discussion with a long time friend and collaborator. By good, I mean the discussion was quite colourful. By colourful, I mean there was heated moments and conversations that went to and fro between English, Hokkien and some passionate expressions, albeit they were not directed at each other. It’s the fact that both of...

Upsert is writing on the Svbtle. March 2, 2016. SkillsFuture: A real and urgent need to escalate the speed of change. And finally, the conversation that I’ve hoped was sparked a decade ago, but it’s better late than never. Here’s the video Let’s Think About It SkillsFuture as a National Movement. Singaporeans actually live within a thick layer of very hard mould. A rather tight social fabric of expectations created by a very pragmatic past. The Evil Brothers: Dogma and Stigma. One is a de facto affair fo...

Upsert is writing on the Svbtle. February 14, 2016. The high cost of ego, experience and a closed mind in the new age of reasoning. We are seeing personal experience and ego taking up lesser space in this new age of reasoning. In this new age, one can be awakened with sobering realisations to find certain tenets of cherished principles, beliefs, rules and laws of work and business to be obsolete. Google search is getting more intelligent by the day. Broadband is getting faster year by year, offering a su...

Upsert is writing on the Svbtle. January 28, 2016. What the big guys teach us for free about sales. Observation is something that can be trained. If we want to become a better writer, just take the extra effort to observe how the writer forms his sentences in addition to just reading the story. So what does Apple know about sales that others don’t? Is it just about having a good product? What did Blackberry miss out compared to Apple? Why did Samsung sell more when HTC had a better made phone? A culture ...
