30 things no one tells you when you reach the age of 40:
1. No one prepares you for the fact you will go to more funerals & this will increase as you get older. The people you love will eventually pass, so we must cherish them now while we have them.

You start in this world with nothing.
The problem:
As children we don’t know any better.
We adopt the skills, beliefs, and goals that others project on us, limiting our individual power and potential.
The game of life starts when you decide to restart and play your own way.
Startups aren’t for everyone. But anyone can start one.
Don’t start before you do this.
Talk to a few first-time founders who are about a year into it and ask them how it��s going. Then talk to a few second-time founders.
If you aren’t scared away, your next step is to decide if a self-funded business or a venture-backed business is best for you.
Don’t skip that step or you might find yourself with a great self-funded business that should never have been venture-backed.
Two big mistakes in life:
1. Worrying about what other people think about you.
2. Believing that other people think about you in the first place.
The Spotlight Effect says that we overestimate the degree to which other people are noticing or observing our actions.
Fight back.
Many of us may not be aware that Malaysia and Indonesia just announced a cross border QR payment link.
Malaysia’s @BNM_official and Bank Indonesia both announced the commercial launch today.
Yesterday, I tried using our DuitNow to pay in Jakarta, it was seamless! Now I can spend in Indonesia using Malaysian e-wallets.
You can use your e-wallet in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.

I had a scary experience at NFTNYC. An unknown person, without consent, put drugs in my drink.
This was NOT fault of organizers or security (which was well managed). Unfortunately, this happens all the time.
I want to talk about keeping each other safe at large events. 👇
People who pray on others downfall 🚩🚩🚩
Always remember that you’re your own competition. Praying for others to fail won’t make your current state any better.
If you’re reading this, focus on bettering yourself and uplifting others instead of bringing them down 🥺♥️
