Business Trip to Germany and Romania

This was hubby's first business trip to Germany and Romania, where he accompanied his clients to meet the manufacturers and visit the headquarters.

The trip went smoothly overall, except for a brief scare when one of the clients nearly lost their passport—it was accidentally left on the previous flight. Thankfully, it was quickly recovered and didn’t disrupt the overall schedule.

Despite two months of careful planning, there was an unfortunate experience with one of the manufacturers. They seemed to underestimate the importance of the visit and did not offer a proper welcome, which left a poor impression on the clients. Thankfully, this didn’t affect hubby’s relationship with them, as he went above and beyond in providing hospitality and ensuring they were well taken care of.

Lessons learned from this trip:

  1. The customer is king. First impressions matter—treat them with genuine care and hospitality, and they’ll remember you for it.

  2. True character is revealed in the face of unexpected problems. How you respond makes all the difference.

  3. We thought Singapore was expensive and unfriendly, but Germany left an even worse impression in terms of cost and friendliness.

  4. Small gestures go a long way. One manufacturer made a lasting impression by going the extra mile—picking the clients up, displaying their country’s flag, and ensuring their comfort throughout the factory tour.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful.

It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
