@ChiewTongCNA Hi Chiew Tong, would CNA consider publishing an edited version of this article online? I hope that the public and education leaders would consider a real reform to academic stress.

@jwangARK Both proof that strategy matters though?

What a revolution. And indeed the natural reveals the truth, we need feel pain to stay alive, sorrow to know joy, and betrayal to value commitment. #irony

The impact of the pandemic only exposes the unreasonable social burdens on the women in Japan. Tragic. #suckstobejapanesewoman

[CNN @CNN]

More people died from suicide in Japan in October than from Covid-19 in 2020. Women are increasingly taking their own lives as they lose part-time work and take on the bulk of family responsibilities at home during the pandemic. https://t.co/RuUvXXDsNM

@Zappos Tony's book, Delivering Happiness, is still one of the most heartfelt, raw & candid accounts of a start-up. And one that I recommend to all my students who aspire to be an entrepreneur. #TonyHsieh

One week ago, we put out a call for prayer for See Ting (Seets). Today, we share this letter of encouragement from a close friend who writes this on her behalf. We continue to ask for God's mercy as we pray for #ABetterTing.
