Best Blaze

🔥They say that the best blaze burns brightest when circumstances are at their worst. 🔥- Howl’s Moving Castle


Chanced into this when helping my kid to pick his favourite quote for his book review.

Think it’s a good encouragement to all who might be going through difficult circumstances now.

🔥To look on the bright side (pun intended), it’s only during tough times when we are going through the crucible where we get a chance to test our mettle and shine bright.

What is Money Laundering?

-
What exactly is money laundering or in Chinese terms 洗黑钱? Is it just stealing of money or more? Interestingly, this term originated from the Italian mafia’s use of laundromats in the US to conceal their ill-gotten gains. Money laundering is the process of making illegally obtained funds – often from criminal activities like scams etc – look like they come from legitimate sources. 3 steps of money laundering 💰 placement 💰 layering 💰 integration Placement refers to the initial introduction of “dirty” money (typically in smaller amounts) into legitimate financial networks like banks.

What do you shy away from? Do you shy away from trying new things, socialising, public speaking, doing health checkups or exercising? And how to overcome the inertia of doing these things that you tend to shy away from ?

Start with the hardest thing and get it out of the way. As the Nike slogan goes, “just do it”. 3️⃣ Making it fun - find a friend/ community to do it together, try it in an interesting setting or gamify it. What other tips do you practise to overcome inertia? Photo: By me #habit   #procrastination   #inertia   #personaldevelopment   #jenelim

We are also helping to power the business ecosystem by enabling trust amongst different entities using local and international data as well.  As Friedrich Nietzsche says, “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”  Hence, no matter how tough the going gets, I will find a way as my Why is clear.  Photo: By me #motivation #purpose #energise #grit  #jenelim #personaldevelopment #business #data #financialinclusion
