It's the Year of the Dog

恭祝大家狗年旺旺旺!!

In translation, it means "wishing everyone in the year of the dog prosper prosper prosper"!!!

As a business venture, we will like to see the company prosper and grow. Though we must admit that the Information, Communication and Technology sector in Singapore is very competitive.

The number of entreprenuers has been on an uptrend in the recent years, fuelled partly due to more high tech startups and government initiatives, and partly due to employment squeeze here. Sometimes, we can be "reluctant" entrepreneurs.

According to a survey, managers and professionals in their mid-30s and 40s are most vulnerable in an economic downturn and are most likely to be retrenched. Once retrenched, difficult to find jobs of similar nature and has to settle for a "changing" career. Some ended up driving taxi...

Frankly, I do not consider becoming an entreprenuer when younger. I do not come from a well-do family, and would gladly settled for a stable, salaried post in some government-linked companies or multi-national corporations. However, 10 years later, I am not so sure anymore.
