Learning from others is Fun

I enjoy learning from others:

Swimming from JX;

the coffee shop assistant who take drink orders: i'm always fascinated by how they remembered the numerous orders they took and sending it to the right person. Respect respect...

and today, i talked to Uncle Lim, my neighbour.
We happened to go to Jurong East tgt.
So on the journey, we chat heartily.
He is wise man.
In fact, he started me talking.
I'm so glad he knows so much about dentistry.
it's like meeting your 知音。
he knows that dental health is closely related to systemic health. (for that he even shared a story of how one of his fren who had severe gum diseases had swollen arm infection that can kill. woah. )
he knows dentures in our clinic are sent to lab technicians hence they are ex.
he knows we work with lab technicians. ha.

He knows alot
and yet this retiree who retired 8 years ago
arrived in Singapore in 1950s from Penang
with only his Cambridge cert.(now O-level equivalent)
He stayed with his company for 45 years.
One and only company.

He swims everyday-
1.2km in 1/2 hr.
Ouch, i'm ashamed.

He is english educated
and sometimes i wonder
is it that english educated ppl are indeed more willing to learn
more creative? more open to new ideas. and less rigid?
I dunno.
I'm a chi-na boy and proud of it.
but hope chi-na boys can learn from them.

Thks Uncle Lim.
