Resourcefulness

Resourcefulness. What does it really mean?

For many, it's doing more with less. But I think it's much deeper than that. It's about not allowing obstacles to stop us from reaching our goals. It's about not giving up when times are tough. It's about looking inwards instead of criticizing outwards.

We, humans, are unstoppable when we are focused. When we put on our "resourceful" hat, we accept that there is no problem too big to solve. We are ready to dig deep and reinvent ourselves in order to solve the problem. We do not accept excuses or mediocrity. We will stop at nothing until the problem is solved.

The next time we face a problem, let's put on our "resourceful" hat. Let's not list down 100 ways why we can't solve the problem. Let's list down 100 ideas on how we can tackle the problem. We just need ONE idea to work.

All the best in discovering more Eureka moments!

Retuning our expectation of achievement!

I first created this reflection for my team at Coda Payments on 31st December 2021. I hope this brings value to you as you navigate the daily beauties of life.

As we head towards the new year, it poises us an excellent opportunity to reflect on the past year. As we reflect, we have 2 ways to go about it: Glass half empty or half full. Circling back to earlier in the year, I gave a Lunch & Learn session on "Clues to a more fulfilling work-life", where the core of the message was finding meaning in our work as when one find meaning/purpose, the work(action of doing) becomes more fulfilling, leading to greater satisfaction in life. Now it's time to see the 2nd part of the equation: contentment/achievement. Fulfilment is all about the action, while ach...

What it takes to make a Title & Credit Screen

Finding the best way to present a title and credits screen. The solution should be simple and elegant as must not get in the way in the creative process of the telling the story. Title Screen Should be done in a way to sell the idea of story or more importantly establish the mood, feel and pace of the story. Eg. Credit Screen I Credit screen as 2 things. There is one version where it is to allow the audience to absorb the story and its conclusion. An epic story that is told beautifully takes a good amount time to comprehend and swallow. Eg. After watching this 2 video above we can see that we need a few amount of time to stretch and realign ourself as our epic journey with the story comes to end. Therefore, playing the screen credits will allow us to recover from experience. There a credit screen's where audiences wants to find out what will happen now. After the story is over, the character got what he wanted all is well, we still want to see what happen to rest a...

Adding the Disclaimer

The original idea for the disclaimer is to be a classic Disclaimer. Example can be seen below. At minute 7.17 can see the example Link for the video at 7.17 However, Andrew has prepared the video before seeing my comment and his approach works much better so we ticked with it. The sources for the disclaimer. First I found a template from this website. Template THE DISCLAIMER Here is a standard motion picture disclaimer...
