Daily Lessons from Life 26 February 2017 - Keeping one's awake at night...

1st of all, puzzled to read the no. of Hkgers migrating to Taiwan is at a 16-yr high. If it is for the climates n better living environment, probably can understand. If it was for the political ambition of President Tsai's to make Taiwan an independent nation, it will b most misguided n will be met with disappointment. Yet, one must not say it will never happen. All the best.

"PM Lee on remaining honest to himself and what keeps him up at night - CNA 26 February 2017

Q. how to keep self fr being honest?
Ans: 1st. No " yes men n women" 2nd. breakout of the "circle" i. e. connect with others who r different from u. 3rd. personally behaves like: humility, could other be right n I m wrong?

Q. what keeps u awake at night?
Ans: 1st. changes beyond my control equipment. e.g. USA turning inwards (n China asserting itself more!?). 2nd. Sgp declining population. 3rd. public housing for married couples."

My input:

1. appearance of "No yes men n women" must be seen by the public too!;

2. Hard to be humble when u r right  in everything! That kills my input no. 1 above dead in its track as any disagreeing men n women would had been casted as "incompetent" or "with ulterior motives"!!;

3. relying on self-check is always risky as one develops narcissism. The democratic GE once every 5-yr is helpful to keep people honest. A critical, n been seen as impartial, media by the public should help too.

4. sweating over things we hv no or little control over is waste of time n efforts. Planning on possible responses r more productive. Convincing the skeptical public on many of the mindset n painful transformation would keep me awake at night! Especially looking at the resistance or reluctance to change like: re-embracing productivity, clean after ourselves, accepting maybe the oppositions may hv some good ideas, etc.

I will stop here as I m not the million dollar government officials. 

Sweet dreams n keep yr honesty if nothing else.
