Cooking is the preparing of food for consumption.  It is a mastery of skills, handling, experience of using the fire, water, ingredients, mix and matching of different food to come up with a excellent display of dish with nice presentation for both visual, and mouth-watering tasting sensation.

Cooking requires positive discipline, organizing, tidiness, cleanliness, budgeting, creativity and sensitive sense of smell, taste-buds, hearing and sight. It’s not simple to master it, but when you master it, the same skills which were used to help you cook up a nice table full of dishes will help you greatly in the process of becoming wealthy if you correctly apply it and convert it into financial and business disciplinary education.

How a person cooks directly reveals his/her attitude and working style. It’s similar to wealthy businessmen playing golf to determine their business partners and the deal etc. Cooking is just a part of the consideration factor. Still, if you want to get wealthy, learn to play golf, they have their reasons for playing golf.

Cooking and the cleaning up part will reveal a person’s attitude and thinking to clearing up a mess of his/her own. The preparation of the dishes will reveal how hardworking and meticulous a person is in details which translates to business customer service. The presentation of the dish, layout etc will reveal to you how a person present and sell him/herself to others. How they eat the food will reveal how much table manners, respect they have to their elders, parents and friends.

Mastering cooking will not help you to go from rags to riches, but not wealthy. It will help you improve yourself, have more discipline etc. To be wealthy, you need to learn a lot of other related education to succeed; it’s more about the mindset which determines your success, so work on it.

You can get rich from cooking, but when you’re rich, you can’t stop cooking else your money will stop which is the difference between getting rich and getting wealthy. Wealth is accumulated even when you do nothing; it’s just a result of what seeds and hard-work you put in previously that allows you to reap the fruits of your hard labour in the past which not many people will know of.

Cooking encourage communication, discussion among family members. Advice and experiences are shared on the table during dinning or at a tea-break session with a common interest in food, the universal language regardless of boundaries, thus it is the easiest method to break the ice, increase the family bonding etc.

If you want to instill discipline into a spoilt brat, throw him/her into the kitchen and just make sure they don’t burn the kitchen in flames will do. Stand by their side, offer advice, not nag, and let them do what they like experiment it, taste the difference, than advice are much appreciated, rather than immediately saying No to this, that whatever is wrong, than they get the expected answer without first tasting the bitter, burnt food dishes which they should taste.

Cooking is a great way to teach children as they grow up and be independent to cook for themselves and family members if all are staying together sharing the fun process, enjoyment and happiness of cooking.

Choice is an option of careful selection between different options offered, excellent, good average or bad products, merchandise and services. Different buyer decision leads to different customer experience and satisfaction, thus creating different classes of customers and businesses targeting a specific group of customers.

Choice is an opportunity for each of us to decide what we want, how we want it, and the expected results is already clear when we make a decision, knowing that the decision we make will have direct effects affecting our desired results.

It is a very fine and thin line between making a wise choice and a negligent choice. Whatever you do, do the right thing, make the right choice, but most importantly ask the right people.

Getting wealthy is not a want, it’s a need, a necessity for Singapore given that Singapore’s high-end property is snapping up fast by foreign investors, as fellow Singaporeans, are we so useless to submit and raise the white flag and allow their to take over and run our property, assets, earning money from us? Is this a repeat of history when the British took over Singapore only to run away giving Singapore to suffer at the mercy of Japanese during WWII?

Are we throwing away our choice to the foreigners? Getting wealthy is no longer a want, it’s a need that we need to protect Singapore, and be able to lift our heads up high, able to show the world what a little red dot can do in the globe, whoever that looks down on the little red dot will regret for making that choice and for even saying it and think about it. The Singapore founding leaders have done an excellent job in this aspect, but what are the majorities of the people doing to this? Nothing, so getting wealthy is no longer a want, but a need and a must do it. The world is your oyster, will you allow others to take the credit from you, taking away your fruits of labour only paying you a miserable small sum of money?

We the Chinese holding the huge population percentage should work together instead of cutting each other fighting among one another and giving the opportunity to the on-lookers who took advantage of it. Look at China; they made a very wrong choice, to be a fake dominant country producing products, food, merchandise that’s not real, giving foreigners a chance to grab a slice of the pie. All can be avoided, but it’s the thinking of the leaders running the country that needs a good washing to plan long term and not short term.

Singapore has done a great job in this aspect, and now not many countries dare to even mention the “little” again. It’s a fact that we’re small like a dot, but together we make a difference, and are the envy of a lot of other neighbouring countries wanting our help to grow their economy.

We should and must learn how to uphold, fortify our fortress, promote the Singapore brand, increase our advantage in the region, and work together to be a wealthy and successful.

Just like Jay Chou who wants to help his fellow singers in the music industry in his country, and China also being proud of themselves without the need to neither depend on foreigners nor even bother about what the world wants. So work towards being self-sufficient and depend on ourselves for our living instead of dependent on others.

Are you going to be a loser or do you want to grow together with Singapore and shine, even if we are the little red dot, but we are in fact multiplying our little red dots in other countries with their nations’ approval, so do you want to have your imprints all over the world helping Singapore multiply the red dots in other countries or are you happy to have others taking away our hard earn labour?

As we pursue our dreams, ambitions, we can throw away our pride, ego, face, reputation, and even work like a slave, but we can never ever throw away our dignity which is the core of ourselves, something which we need to be proud of despite how little and small our efforts may be but it makes a huge difference.

Even a beggar have dignity to stay at a place, work hard at begging for food, rather than a stray dog making pitiful sounds and a sad eyes tears rolling begging for food.

Dignity is what makes us who we are regardless of how small we will make around us, but if applied and used correctly, dignity will be the source fuel like the Sun in the galaxy burning its own fumes warming other planets that stay around the sun. Like Bruce Lee, he started low, throwing away his pride, learning multiple disciplines of martial arts, keeping his dignity and respect for our yellow skin and done us Chinese proud.

Do you want to be the person offering and extending a helping hand to others or do you want to be the receiver asking for help? It’s your choice and only YOU can decide what you need!
