A study by The Economist found that most big-name football coaches had little impact. Among the few who did was Jürgen Klopp. How will Liverpool go about replacing the irreplacable? https://t.co/5TtFrJka45 ⚽️

“Will the M’sian ringgit slide to 5.0 against the USD”?

“MYR hits new low of 3.5 against SGD. Why is SGD not weakening”?

“Why aren’t high oil prices boosting MYR”?

My take on Ringgit woes:

TLDR? 3 takeaways👇🏾

Steve Jobs had his best ideas while walking—this Stanford study explains why...

In 2014, a team of Stanford researchers examined how creativity levels were impacted by walking.

They conducted experiments with 176 participants that placed them in different situations:

• Walking on a treadmill facing a wall
• Walking outside
• Sitting inside facing a wall
• Sitting outside

In each situation, the participants were asked to complete a range of tasks that are typically used to measure creative thinking. For example, a test of "divergent thinking" asked the participants to come up with as many uses as possible for a set of objects.

The results were incredible:

Participants were dramatically more creative while walking than sitting.

In fact, one group of participants who took back-to-back tests, first sitting inside and then walking inside on a treadmill, saw a 60% improvement in creative output while walking vs. sitting!

Walking, indoors or outdoors, had a similar robust positive impact on creative thinking.

The authors concluded, "Many people anecdotally claim they do their best thinking when walking. We finally may be taking a step, or two, toward discovering why."

Many of history's greatest thinkers, entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes have believed in the power of walking.

It's a simple, free tool we can all use to dramatically improve our lives. Schedule more walks into your weeks.

Simple challenge for all of you:

Go for a 30-minute tech-free walk every single day this week.

• No phone
• No music
• No podcasts
• No articles
• No audiobooks

Just you, your thoughts, your gratitude, and the fresh air.

It’s a simple reset that will unlock new creativity and shift your perspective.

"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it." - Søren Kierkegaard

Novak Djokovic won’t consider retiring until he’s getting his ass kicked by young guys in Grand Slams:

“It probably sounds cocky or arrogant but I’m not really surprised. I know how much work & dedication I put into trying to be in this position. I know I deserve this. I always believe in myself, in my own capabilities as a tennis player to be able to deliver when it matters. I’m not really surprised to be honest. I feel good physically. I’ve been as good as I’ve been in years & years. Age is just a number. That phrase is really resonating with me at the moment. I don’t want to even consider leaving tennis or thinking about an end if I’m still at the top of the game. I’ll probably consider doing that if I get my ass kicked by young guys in Grand Slams in the years to come.”

Andy Robertson on Roberto Firmino:

"The best way to sum up Bobby’s contribution to Liverpool would be that, without him, nothing would have been possible. The way we wanted to play, the way we went about our business, everything started with Bobby, with his pressing and his technical ability. He was our main man. When you look back on the great moments, Bobby was always involved in them – such an important player in helping us achieve the success that we did." #lfc [james pearce - the athletic]

What if we told you there are houses on the market that cost less than a packet of chicken rice? Would you take it if these houses are in bad shape and you have to spend on the renovation?

The new MRT station and LRT Ampang connections are an afterthought.

Sort of yesteryear design, remind me of my school days going from classroom to the canteen during break.

“If you’re efficient, you’re doing it the wrong way. The right way is the hard way. The show was successful because I micromanaged it—every word, every line, every take, every edit, every casting. That’s my way of life.”
