Value and character

I teach a course in Singapore Management University.

Apart from the syllabus of the course, I like the students to learn some values and tips that will be useful for them to cope with the challenges of life.

I will share some of the values that guide my character. I hope that these values will be useful as a guide to the students.

  1. I've read through the pdf article. Indeed it's a useful guide. But for it to be adopted by anyone, the person must keep those principles in mind everyday.

    Those are timeless principles.

    I recommend everyone to read also The Law of Success by Napoleon Hill. It's the book that almost all self-help books refer to, or base their principles on. In fact, it should be made compulsory readings in secondary schools.

  3. Mr. Tan , it is timely that people be reminded of values. There is no honesty in the world today.Look at the events unfolded , you know what i mean. Money indeed is the root of evil and not necessary the love of it. From the insurance agents , RMs to businessman , ceos and to ministers etc they are at the expense of the public and consumers. Conscience used to be the guide but now ? I wonder where it has gone. They say animals have no conscience but they have instincts only. Human have more and they commit evils not by instinct by sheer premeditation.
