- Peer Pressure on the Teenager - by Submitted on Feb 03, 2008 from Ianny LauAs my daughter turns thirteen, I figure it is time to seek advice on how as a parent I should handle the defining years ahead. I attended a seminar by Ken Sapp on ‘Preparing Youth to Handle Peer Pressure’. (See acknowledgement at end of article). In this article, I share some of ...
Views: 2434 - Praying For Others - by Submitted on Feb 03, 2008 from Ianny LauAs I reflect upon what I pray about, I find they almost always center around my own concerns and interests . It amazes me how endless my needs, wants and wishes seem to be – I hardly remember a time when I have nothing of my own to ask for, even in the better seasons of my life. I ...
Views: 2430 - Freedom As A Measure of Success - by Submitted on Feb 03, 2008 from Ianny LauThe pastor reminded us during Christmas service that the routine of waking up in the morning, sitting through meetings, fire fighting at work, reaching home too late to see the family awake, going to bed, and repeating the cycle, is NOT what life is about. If you are looking forward to ...
Views: 1439 - Godly Faith Is Different From Confidence - by Submitted on Feb 14, 2008 from Ianny LauFaith is an abstract idea. When applied outside of religious context, it broadly means confidence - confidence to materialize a hope, or to weather a trial. Apart from past successes, people really have very little basis for such faith. No matter how influential a person is, he is subject to ...
Views: 1081 - Christians Are Not To Worry - by Submitted on Mar 06, 2008 from Ianny LauWe get anxious over an endless list of reasons - uncertainty at the work place, tension in relationships, the development of our children, health of our loved ones, rising cost of living, the effects of aging on our competitiveness and our appearance – to name a few. These factors have their ...
Views: 1076 - Renew Mindsets Towards Building Multiple Sources Of Income - by Submitted on Feb 24, 2008 from Ianny LauI heard a story about a fly. Being trapped in a restaurant, it reckoned that the street on the other side of the glass window was a better place to be in. In its attempt to go over, it flew right into the glass pane, bounced off, and then tried again. He kept doing it over and over again. If ...
Views: 1021 - How the Israelites Days in the Desert Relate to Us Today - by Submitted on Feb 05, 2008 from Ianny LauWhen God, through Moses, led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt some 4000 years ago, they complained about lack in the desert. Probably discomfort, too. In Numbers chapter 13, the twelve men who explored the ‘land flowing with milk and honey’ had just returned to the camp. Ten ...
Views: 893 - Starting A Carefree Business on a Small Budget - by Submitted on Feb 03, 2008 from Ianny LauMany aspiring entrepreneurs look to starting a business in their quests to get out of the rat race. They used to associate businesses with shop fronts, offices, factories, staff and rental. These are just way too intimating for an individual, without even considering yet foot work and admin ...
Views: 740 - Continuing Adult Education - by Submitted on Feb 03, 2008 from Ianny LauAs Peter Drucker puts it, “We live in an economy where knowledge, not buildings and machinery, is the chief resource and where knowledge-workers make up the biggest part of the work force.” The Internet has triggered an explosion of knowledge and information. The phenomenon is a ...
Views: 735 - Taking the Plunge - by Submitted on Feb 05, 2008 from Ianny LauOwning a successful business is very ideal indeed. How nice. But getting there? Everyone knows it is quite a different story. Switching to business as a career is so overwhelming that most people are just content to dream about it. The courageous few who, after repeated cycles of ...

In this article, I impart some insights on how to succeed, or at least how to avoid failure. While there must be a thousand and one reasons for failure, what I have listed here ...
Views: 681 - The Happy Things For Free - by Submitted on Feb 11, 2008 from Ianny LauYou know the lyrics to the song. It says ‘sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy’. In fact, sunshine doesn’t have that effect on me. Perhaps I take it for granted. Tropical dwellers like me run to the shades instead. But I simply love gentle breezes. They quite literally do calm my soul ...
