I'm Singaporean.
In 1965, my country was forced out of Malaysia.
No army. No resources. No fresh water.
Just a tiny island with 2M people living in poverty.
Then ONE man's vision built the modern world's greatest City-State. Here's the story and 7 lessons worth learning:

Thanks Nathaniel Bassey for spending 1,491 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to See What the Lord Has Done. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/ZRYqoxcOTh
Most times (not all the time); I've discovered that proud and arrogant people usually have a group or set of cliques that lie to them about who they really are, these cliques are their greatest enemy in stealth mode. Fake Friends = Dangerous living.
One of the biggest faults that has been attributed to me is refusing to entirely trust the judgement of people who consistently make bad decisions; I always give them that supervision vibe 😄. The wise ones know I mean no harm - others? eventually!@%
Whatever your mind is telling you not to do, Whenever your mind seems to trick you about making a decision; take a step back and think, you're probably right.
If your mind doesn't or haven't worked like this esp when you're angry, you're probably getting lost or lost forever!
...they usually feel I do these things to test or mock their intellect unfortunately, this is not so at all, only a handful of colleagues understand what this type of skill means, as a tip, ask anyone in QA field, they will tell you it's normal, infact they'll try to show why 😄
There's so much one can learn by watching either 2 people; or observing a group of persons arguing! - it's probably the reason why many of my acquaintances from time to time always want me everywhere they go😄- i'm the best audience anyone could ever have.
...on the twist side of things, many of the people who have worked with me, can attest that I usually ask their opinion on simple matters such as; reading a letter I wrote and explain it to me or tell me what they feel about a published article, I know it irritates some of them🙄
At some point what we know as civilization (western) will reach its limit,& the curve will go back to the beginning! Unfortunately many Africans don't see it this way instead of improving on grey areas with our culture we're subconsciously embracing the western culture gradually
