what is missing in our life today what
is missing in your life today it is
actually something called sensitivity
caution sensitivity caution is the thing
that’s missing in our life today and why
the internet does the internet connect
us or the internet disconnect us and
this is what happened when you go around
you see everyone on your handphone and
the next thing you see is where people
said how come I don’t know when there’s
a sweet sight or there for someone and
you said how come I don’t know he or she
is going through the depression why why
did they kill themselves it’s because
we’re not sensitive to the people around
us anymore so internet actually brings
the people who are closer to you who are
far away on Facebook my friends who are
in New York Canada London and we are
connected but yet it brings the people
next to you
furthest away from you and why is that
so for example as you are sitting here
how many of you would have said hello to
the person on your right and to the
person on your left
how many knows your neighbor how many of
you would have known their name and the
depth of who they are and what they’re
doing so sensitivity caution for family
and friends and recently we started some
restaurants and you know what all the
time I see children on your handphone
and in our restaurant we see parents
putting the iPhone or the technology in
for iPad in front of the child and the
child is eating but the eyes and the
mind is actually on a handphone and all
they do is they open and close your
mouth because their helper is feeding
them so actually they are there but they
are not there physically they are there
with you but they are not there at the
same time and last week this is a
picture I picked up from my friend’s
Facebook this is called a cousin’s
gathering
and everyone’s on handphone so it’s
actually it brings us further apart even
though we’re there so it is actually
about quality of time not the quantity
of time so actually if we are with your
family your friends your loved ones put
your phone aside and spend time with
them and that is important to connect
with them sq8 workplace since it’s a
video caution at workplace so I read
this article about the stewardess on
flight and she was walking up and down
and she noticed a girl sitting there a
bit messy but have fear in her eyes but
she was sitting seated next to a guy who
was well-groomed but because of a
sensitivity coefficient she noticed that
something was wrong she kind of signaled
to the girl to go to the toilet because
she left a pen and paper in a toilet and
then to her horror she went in and she
found this what helped and the
stewardess notified the pilot the pilot
who caught the police and when the plane
landed they arrested the men and her
Eskew actually saved the girl from human
trafficking so it’s actually your
sensitivity caution at your workplace
are you sensitive enough at your
workplace to see things to get it done
so back to my restaurant so I have a
share for 30 years and I said we’re
gonna launch this dish called the
lobster I missed you can you do it and
can we take a picture of it so he said
ok here it is boss here is the lobster
stew and then I looked at it and said
where’s the lobster it says there so I
said I’ll look again I said I can’t
really see it you say why stay so how’s
the time when we go to work when we need
something a lot of us just give it
half-hearted that what we do is half a
turn he just put everything in a on the
plate and then he gives it and he shows
it on a pot and I said can you do a bit
better than that can we see the lobster
he says sure so he came up with this and
I said wow that’s a lobster but it looks
terrible so I said can you do something
with it again can you make it a bit
better and I say okay hear this he said
I can’t open lobster
so it looks you can see the flesh I say
no can you put your heart into it not
just your eyes but your heart into what
you do and after some time he came up
with this and this is where his work of
30 years experience is put in to cook
and show the most delicious dish caught
the armies to Lobster I missed you so
it’s actually about seeing things with
your heart and not just with your eyes a
lot of us see things but we don’t put
our heart to use to make it better so
when you see a problem and get or you
see something that you need to do in
your company your office or among your
loved ones you add values with the
things that you do and you take action
and put excellence into it and you have
positive outcome and that’s a promise
and so I talked about one of my staff
this guy came from a construction worker
and he came to help me because we need
to renovate and scale our businesses and
he came and I said you know we need to
renovate the shop he said no problem I
help you with a renovation so he did
everything then we said we need tables
we need gothic looking tables for our
fashion accessories he said I can make
them so he’s a maker he saw we make them
and a gothic looking table date you
can’t find it in a picture and then we
said we need someone to help us to go
and buy the menswear as well he says ok
he went and he helped us with buying and
became a merchandiser and buyer as well
for fashion and then he all even went on
to make a rack for me because I have a
lot of jackets he made a wreck for me to
hang my jackets and he make it a
portable bar counter for my office so
that we can serve drinks during break
time and everything that we needed he
was there for us and he put the effort
to do it well and you know what today
he’s a business owner back in his own
country and because he put excellence he
at value and he put the best of what he
can do and that attitude has given him
the edge among the better than the rest
of the people so he’s about putting your
heart into what you do and soon you will
see the difference and how you impact
your life and the lives of others so ask
you among that your surrounding and this
is where is around you right so I think
your most of the time you see this
nowadays when you go out and something
happen
everyone flips up the phone and take
videos and photos of it some when
something happened and this is true
because recently there was a boy 12
years old who went to help the victim’
accident because he said the adults were
busy filming and nobody responded to
help
so are we adding values to the people
around us and to everything that we do
so sq is about you putting the effort
the excellence into the things you do
and changemakers are people who actually
have high Eskew because when they see
things they see the problem within their
heart they find a solution and they do
their best to solve it and these are
changemakers and all of you can be
change makers and I talked about going
out of your job school a lot of us it is
our job school this is my teacher Miss E
and she realized that I was actually a
student and without focus and without
purpose and she came up to me and she
said what is your vision and I came out
with a story and said oh I want to be an
entrepreneur by 21 start my business 21
be a millionaire by 25 and retire at 45
but you know every year she will ask me
what is your vision are you getting
there like you know even way after I
finished school I went to London I came
back every year she would buy me my
Christmas lunch my favourite chicken
rice and she asked me are you achieving
my your dreams and I would love to tell
her I have a chief every part of the
dream that I shared with her but the
only thing is she died in a sewer air
crashed
I never able to tank her for it but you
know what I carry on her spirit of
giving and I’m mentoring as many youth
as I can because that belief that she
has put in me is the belief I’ll put
into every youth because you can do it
if you put your sensitivity caution to
it and put your excellence to what you
do so when I started this 15 minutes
change because I was inspired by this
young guy I met I met him in an event at
a f-1 event and there was about seven
eight years ago I looked at him and said
hey young man what are you doing at this
event
he said I’m a part-time waiter at the f1
paddle area I said good I said you look
young what do you hope to be what is
your dream it’s the same thing as my
teacher
ask me what is your dream he said well I
hope to be an actor a host as well as
stand-up comedian and then seven eight
years have passed I met him at the sg50
event and he came up to me and said hi
Ellen remember me I’m the guy who met
you at the f1 event my name is fast and
you know what I came to thank you
because the 15 minutes you’d spend time
talking to me about showing me direction
and what I can do with my life because
he showed he told me that he’s actually
a street kid and that he is not highly
educated and I took 15 minutes to share
with him how he can make his life better
and he said because you have your 15
minutes my life is changed today I’m a
ward winning actor stand-up comedian and
host and you know what
it only takes 15 minutes of my time and
today I hope you take 15 minutes of your
time to spend time to the person next to
you and because of him I’ve decided to
start the 15 minutes change so if you
can leave here what do you want to do is
to leave here and take an idea with you
right is to take 15 minutes a day to
spend time with people around you if you
can’t do it 15 minutes a day once a week
once a month once a year to spend time
asking the person around you how are you
and spend time with them and impact them
if you can so s Q is for changemakers
you are here because you want to take an
idea with you you are here because you
want to be a change maker and change
makers have hi s Q and for that you
can’t make this world a better place so
to me I think s q could be the secret to
success and I believe that if everyone
take up their spirit of that sensitivity
caution you add value to your life and
to the life of others you put excellence
to all the things that you do you know
what you will be above the rest of the
people you’ll be successful because all
my friends that are successful in their
life and in a career in their business
in their home in their families all have
this sq quotient in them and I hope that
you will actually build an awakened sq
in you to make the difference for
yourself for the people around you
as well as creating impact for this
world to be a better place to live in
thank you
