OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGIES: SPOTLIGHT: NAPOLEON BONAPARTE

This digital snapshot of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821), one of my favourite heroes from history, was captured at the Suntec City shopping mall.

WORDS OF WISDOM III

"When it comes to making judgements on matters connected with the human condition in their numerous forms as seen in their social, political or economic manifestations, there is no substitute for the human brain to distill concepts from experience & then subjecting these to critical analyses."

(Dr Goh Keng Swee, former Finance - also Defence, Education - Minister & Deputy Prime Minister, often acknowledged as Singapore's prime architect of its remarkable economic transformation, speaking at the launch of 'Challenge & Response: 30 years of the EDB' in December 1993)

WORDS OF WISDOM V

"Look, whenever you embark on anything, please tell me what is your objective. And there must be one. I don't want five. Just give me the principal objective. If you like, you can give me the ancillary objectives. But the principal objective must be clearly stated because later, as we go along, there will be tendencies to fudge. I don't want the principal objective to be fudged."

(J Y Pillay, former Chairman of Singapore Airlines, who has often being credited for building the airline to what it is today, drawing a management parallel from the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu scripture, written 2,600 years ago.)
