Hello Mr Tan,
ReplyDeleteI am a keen reader of your blog and website.
I get very useful information from your personal opinions as well as readings from other sources that you posted.
I just finished reading the article by Ken Murray on How Doctors Die, and I must say that it was a very good read.
Having seen how my uncle fought cancer, I never want to be like him if I am ever terminally ill.
Anyway, thanks for all the enlightening information. I enjoy them very much and I hope you keep up the great work and keep them coming!
Here is how Warren Buffet approaches his cancer. He said "no big deal". There is a higher risk of being killed by a "jealous husband".
