VSee came down to give a talk this week. In contrast to last week's speakers, Milton was very engaging and captivating. I felt it was more of a talk on how to live life rather than a pitch about what VSee is all about. In particular, I loved how he ALWAYS smiled throughout his talk. His cheerful approach towards life is infectious. I loved listening to him. The points he raised also got me rethinking about my views towards life, and I felt kinda wasted that I didn't take notes cuz I thought his slides would be up on IVLE :(
He reminded me of Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com. From the fun culture, personal interrelationships between colleagues in the company, outlook towards life etc... I highly recommend anyone to pick up the book Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh.
Lesson(s) learnt? Do what is important, not what is urgent. Often this comes as a challenge, but to respond to his dare to NOT do something that is urgent, I decided not to do the UI case study......or not. Just kidding, on it now.
Thanks for sharing the Zappos.com! They give out free copies of their company culture book, maybe you'd like to get one?
