Moving up during the course of his life from humble circumstances as a fatherless teenager to one of the world’s richest business leaders and most generous philanthropists, Li Ka-shing for many in Asia represents a model of how to succeed in the world. Books about his approach to life and business — mostly in Chinese and all unauthorized — populate business sections of Chinese-language bookstores around the world, much like books about Warren Buffett do in the United States.
So today we feature 8 great words of advice from Li Ka-Shing himself.
8 Life Tips By From The Asian Billionaire Li Ka-Shing
1. As a leader, one should spend more time than others planning for the future.
2. I do not get overly optimistic when the market is good, nor overly pessimistic when the market is down.
3. A good reputation for yourself and your company is an invaluable asset not reflected in the balance sheets.
4. It doesn’t matter how strong or capable you are; if you don’t have a big heart, you will not succeed.
5. To be a successful manager, attitude and ability are equally important ingredients. A leader inspires others to greatness. A boss dominates his subordinates and makes them feel small.
6. Though a universal formula for success is difficult to come by, caution signs for failure are posted everywhere. Establishing a structure that serves to minimize failure will prove to be a shortcut to success.
7. Successful managers should also have a keen eye for talent. They not only select people who are smarter than themselves, but also avoid picking corporate superstars whose reputation precedes them.
8. The art of good management lies in the capacity to accept change, and the ability to meld new and traditional thinking.
Hello CS bloggers. I missed for not blogging for quite sometime. I am back!! and i am stirred up sharing this personal experience.
Do you believe in miracles? Have you experience one? Everyday is a miracle though but this one was seen before my eyes.
I had this knee injury lately that i hardly stand and walk. I did all the possibilities to ease off the pain - taking medicine, massage, stretching - until i pondered to faith healing. I strongly believe there is nothing impossible to prayer. I put my hand on my knee and prayed for GOD's Healing power.
Praise GOD!! After awhile the pain subsided. Before i could not walk for long but today i managed to walk around for long that i never felt a extreme pain after.
Which is more appropriate - a guy asks a lady for a date or vise versa?
I am just suprised hearing guys after getting my number they would say "Ring me whenever you want to go out" or may be they are just afraid they would be turned down when they invite me.
Is this a 20th century new approach of dating?
For how long should i still need to wait to have my own family?
I am feeling being too much pressed coz i need to have a child. I just realized that i had wasted so much time with my other personal goals and have forgotten everyone's best achievement - to have a family and children.
I am nearly coming to the point of being hopeless coz time runs too fast. Thus, i have been contemplating i should be having backup plans.
1) hold on to my faith that there is someone for me?;
2 to be an unwed mother? - other say it's already a trend;
3) adopt a child?
how can you forgive someone after you truly loved him you found out his stories were all lies?
We may never forget his wrongdoings but we can only move on and live peacefully when we give in into forgiveness. We may hardly accept all his lies but our forgiveness would let that person realize that there are still people willing to give their hands to help him despite of who and what he has.
I just learned this from a friend after all the heartaches, his forgiveness taught that person who cheated him to change.
I just heard this over the radio and made me laugh:
Money is much better than a spouse. The longer you put your money in the bank you're earning more interest. The longer you stay with your spouse you are losing interest.
To all divorced/single guys at 40s. If you were to marry again, would you still marry a woman for love or just for companionship?
This is my last blog for the day and i need a beauty rest. HAPPY WEEKEND TO EVERYONE!!!
The things that make you different are the things that make you beautiful. There are some very unique traits that every single person in the world has that can't be compared to any other person collectively. Sure, we all have our similarities, so you have to be willing to live your life as yourself. Don't try on someone's life in an effort to impress, because in the end the only person they will be truly impressed with will be you in the outfit of another person.
I had to see a doctor coz i hardly stand up with my left knee. I just paid Qr50 (US$ 13) as a registration fee and everything is free - X-ray, MRI, doctor's fee and even the medicine. How lucky the people are in this country!
I just wish our country and other countries would invest its wealth to its people health and not putting the wealth into their own pockets.
Life is like a book. Everyday we are turning into new pages, everyweek, it becomes a new chapter and every year life comes into new series.
I may not ugly for single men to be noticed. But it seems married men get attracted to me instead. I am nice to everybody but being too nice others may misinterpret you (especially the taken one). Are there people being more attractive to married men than to those singles?
It boosts your self-esteem and confidence when someone pleases you. Shockingly, I 've been encountering married men blatantly offering me an illicit and intimate affair. Their reasons : they also have separate innermost needs. I understand but i am not that person they're looking for.
I also have my needs - to have a permanent, forever love with someone and not something borrowed. Thanks GOD for the guidance i've never had fallen in their prey.
