Lessons From Chinese Drama

Watched Point of No Return today, and learnt a few valuable lessons on business and work from it as highlighted by my father.

1. Be detailed and critical about the small things, and at the same time think about the long term implications. Don’t solve a problem by compensating one to patch up the other (debts in the show, but somehow makes me think of lies).

2. When doing a business, do it for your employees. Do it so that people will have jobs, so that they can make a living. If you do it for personal gain, corruption is likely.

Likewise, politicians should have the people in mind. Doctors should have their patients in mind. Teachers, their students. Cleaners, the residents. Salespeople, not just the product , but the customers too.

With respect comes respect, and your deeds would be purposeful if purpose is right.

Then I think, how about students?

3. Be righteous and stick to your morals in everything you do. Don’t be overly concerned about how people view or badmouth you.
