Wilson Ng started helping the family business since 9 years old. Since then, he had dreamt to be a successful entrepreneur, one who starts great businesses  ( he has started 7) from scratch with insight, guts and initiative. He keeps his focus on growing the business by creating value-- not on politics, or wasteful distractions. He brings the same focus to community service, teaching, life and family.

Points to Ponder 2   ( on quotes) Dr. Robert Schuller gives us another gem which gives us a better understanding on the person we really are when you ask this question to yourself . "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?" The Greek Philosopher, Aristotle, gives us another food for thought, which actually is pretty obvious and common sensical... "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." Sydney Smith , an English clergyman of the 19th century, understands only too well what forms habits and opinions -- "Never try to reason the prejudice out of a man. It was not reasoned into him, and cannot be reasoned out." And as entrepreneurs, as those who did everything to grow the company, including deliver the goods, collect the money, and sweep the floor, we are often overwhelmed when we finally grow big enough to meet the experts and the business elite.  Here is one great advice, though I had failed to note who said it, "Don't be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data than judgment. Elites can become so inbred that they produce hemophiliacs who bleed to death as soon as they are nicked by the real world."   7:54:50 PM     comment []   trackback []

What is One Terabyte  ( on technology) More and more, we are getting to work with more customers who request and need one terabyte systems.  Lest we forget how big really a terabyte is, here is a good way to visualize it in vivid words.  It is - - storage for 125,000 MP3 songs, or 1500 CDs. - equal to a 1.42 mile-high stack of 1.44 floppies - 2 weeks, 2 days, 19 hours, and 12 mins. of continuous DVD movies - if 1 byte is represented by 1 sheet of paper, it's a stack of paper 66,000 miles high. - if 1 byte represented 1 heartbeat, it's 2 minutes, 24 seconds worth of all the human heartbeats on earth. - 8,000 times more data than a human brain retains in a lifetime. - if 1 byte represented 1 grain of sand, it's enough sand to fill a 240 ton mining truck.   6:47:21 PM     comment []   trackback []
