Which of the two do you think can beat the other? As for me, although having talent could obviously make things easier, hardwork can definitely beat talent, if talent does not work hard. What are your thoughts on this?

Lenny Miller @JeeyanDee Exactly. Yes. It's kind of an insult to all the work they've put in. No doubt talent helps, but without hard work, it isn't the most useful. :)

So when hearing people's advice on how to deal with failure, one idea that I came across is that sometimes if you just keep going, things just start working out and you get what you want (or something even better). Has this...

Lenny Miller Haha, that's interesting. Yeah, sometimes getting away from the situation gives you time to relook what you were doing and do it better. There's also less pressure and perhaps more time to practice on your own terms. Thanks for sharing your experience ^_^

Sometimes in life, we have to go through phases where we have to be by ourselves, whether a little more permanently or just for the night. How does one deal with that? What comforts you in being alone?

What do you guys do when you have nothing to do in the office? In our company, there is a time where there is no work to do at all. This happens when we finish our proposal projects and just waiting for the result of our bids....

Lenny Miller @JasperTore Great to hear that you find benefit from my response. Yeah, totally agreed. :) Work on one thing at a time. A principle I like to follow is KISS - Keep It Super Simple. You'll be able to improve the various things you want to improve on. But till...

We all face situations where we get a disappointing outcome. We were hoping for one thing, but got something else. Something didn't go quite right and we failed to accomplish our goal. So when these events occur in your life,...

Lenny Miller That's a great attitude to have. Yeah, I guess it's important to accept that these things happen. Acceptance is the first step towards resolving a problem, in a way. Then once you've done that, you can look at the bright side of the problem. Maybe it's...

Lenny Miller Thanks for the tips, Anthony. Great advice. Yeah, I guess perseverance is important. Sometimes you have to go through a bunch of failures to finally hit gold. And sometimes it may just be that you're not approaching the problem from the right angle, so you...

A lot of us find ourselves chasing after money (which isn't bad. We need it to survive). But sometimes we get too absorbed in the pursuit. This may make you wonder, "Is it worth it?". And then you look at some rich people and see...

Lenny Miller Hmm... thanks for sharing your views. Yeah, I suppose that's important as well. Maybe lack of happiness comes from too much self-absorption. When you're too concerned about yourself, you may become too critical. This in turn may lead you to look at all your...

Lenny Miller Oh, okay. It's nice to know that you're not alone in being alone. Hehe. I guess we all have our own ways of dealing with it. At university, I suppose you have uni mates to give you company. I guess it's probably important to be in some social circle through...

Lenny Miller Oh, that's nice to hear. Yeah, I guess friends and family can help. Only for some, it's a bit difficult to relate with family if closeness isn't too much of a common thing in the household. I guess friends can help, but then life happens and takes them away...

Lenny Miller Hmm... I suppose you have a point. Better to be alone than to be with toxic people. I guess it's nice to learn more things online. I do use it for that a lot. But I guess social interaction is also a separate need. I guess chatting and stuff like that could...

Lenny Miller @augusta123 True. But it's fine to be curious and to keep an open mind. We can't really tell what the absolute truth is. We can only go by our experience, knowledge and reason. It's normal to be confused. I get confused by things too. I like to have two sides...

Though it varies in terms of degree, we all have pride as well as prejudice. While the former can lead us to set high standards, perform at a higher level, the latter tends to curtail us – our thinking, objectivity and positive...

Lenny Miller @Shiva49 Yep. I agree with your view too that at the individual level, prejudice is usually harmful. It leads to a divide between people and can even provoke wrong acts being done to them like violence. So we definitely need to inform ourselves more about...

Lenny Miller @mohit459 Totally. Two sides of a coin, as they say. It may start out by replacing tedious activity and then it might progress to replacing human activity itself (which could lead to major job loss and trouble). But maybe we can come up with a new system to...
