Many are saddened to learn of the passing of Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu on February 2, 2025, due to influenza-associated pneumonia.

Barbie Hsu, affectionately known as “Big S,” gained widespread recognition for her role as Shan Cai in the 2001 television series “Meteor Garden,” where she starred alongside the boy band F4. This series left a lasting impression on many, including myself, during our younger years.

Her talent and contributions to the entertainment industry will be remembered fondly. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.

8 Lessons From Dale Carnegie's timeless classic, "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living"

1. The Futility of Worry:

The book emphasizes the pointlessness of worry. Worrying doesn't change the past or predict the future, it simply steals your joy from the present moment. Carnegie encourages you to focus your energy on what you can control - your thoughts, actions, and reactions.

2. Living in the "Now":

The book highlights the importance of living in the present moment. Instead of dwelling on the past or fretting about the future, cultivate the habit of focusing on the task at hand and enjoying the simple pleasures of everyday life.

3. The "Eight Words" That Can Change Your Life: Carnegie introduces a powerful formula: "Ask yourself if it is the worst that can possibly happen.

Then prepare to accept it. Then calmly proceed to improve on the worst." By mentally preparing for the worst-case scenario, you can significantly reduce your anxiety and approach challenges with greater composure.

4. The High Cost of Getting Even: Holding onto grudges and seeking revenge only fuels negativity and hinders your emotional well-being.

The book encourages forgiveness and letting go of past hurts to create space for peace and happiness.

5. Would You Take a Million Dollars for What You Have?:

Carnegie suggests a gratitude exercise. Consider all the good things in your life, even the small ones. Shift your focus from what you lack to the blessings you already possess, fostering a sense of contentment and appreciation.

6. The "Busy Cure" for Worry: Idleness allows your mind to wander and dwell on negative thoughts.

The book emphasizes the power of keeping yourself busy with productive activities that leave little room for worry.

7. Decision: The Antidote to Indecision: Indecision breeds anxiety.

The book encourages you to make decisions, even if they're not perfect. Taking action, even if it leads to a course correction later, is better than staying paralyzed by indecision.

8. Cooperation, Not Competition: Comparing yourself to others is a recipe for misery.

Focus on your own journey and celebrate your personal growth. The book promotes cooperation and collaboration over competition, fostering a more positive and supportive environment.

9. The Power of Positive Self-Talk: Your inner critic can be your worst enemy.

The book highlights the importance of replacing negative self-talk with positive affirmations. Focus on your strengths and capabilities to boost your confidence and self-esteem.

10. Get Enough Sleep!: Chronic fatigue can exacerbate worry.

The book emphasizes the importance of getting enough quality sleep for optimal mental and emotional well-being. A well-rested mind is better equipped to handle challenges and navigate stressful situations.

Bill Gates’ Harvard professor ‘wasn’t surprised’ he dropped out: ‘I just wish I’d invested in him’

Bill Gates didn’t stay at Harvard University for long — dropping out after three semesters to found Microsoft in 1975 — but he was there long enough to make an impression.

Gates’ former applied mathematics professor Harry Lewis, for example, remembers the future billionaire as being inquisitive and “mature” beyond his years, with a tendency for questioning adults and tackling difficult problems.

“He always wanted a challenge,” Lewis, who has taught at Harvard since the 1970s, told The Times of London in an interview that published last week. “I wasn’t surprised when he dropped out — I just wish I’d invested in him.”

If Lewis had invested $100 in Microsoft when the company went public in 1986, his shares would be worth roughly $650,000 today, after accounting for price appreciation and dividend payouts!

What Are the Expenses When Hiring a Contractor?

When you hire a contractor for your house construction, the payments are usually divided into different categories depending on the agreement and contract. Here are the common expenses:

1. Contractor’s Fee
• Markup or Management Fee – This is the payment for the contractor’s services in overseeing the entire construction project. It usually ranges from 10%–30% of the total project cost.
• This covers:
• Planning
• Scheduling
• Managing workers and subcontractors

2. Labor Cost
• Payment for construction workers such as masons, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc.
• It can be:
• Daily Rate (per worker per day): Example, ₱500–₱800 depending on skill level
• Package Deal: A fixed amount for the entire project

3. Materials Cost
• You will pay for the construction materials like cement, steel, sand, wood, paint, tiles, etc.
• There are two types:
• Turnkey Project – The contractor provides all materials.
• Labor-Only – You provide the materials, while the contractor supplies the labor.

4. Permit and Documentation Fees
• The contractor usually processes the permits, which you need to pay for:
• Building Permit (DPWH or local government unit)
• Electrical and plumbing permits
• Occupancy Permit (after completion of the house)
• The cost depends on the house size and location.

5. Subcontractors’ Fees (If Needed)
• If the contractor hires subcontractors for specialized work such as electrical, plumbing, or painting, this is an additional cost.

6. Contingency Fund
• Contractors usually set aside 5%–10% of the total project cost for unexpected expenses, such as additional materials or repairs.

7. Utilities and Equipment Rental (If Not Provided)
• Payment for the use of heavy equipment like backhoes, mixers, or scaffolding.
• Utilities like water and electricity on-site may also be charged.

8. Miscellaneous Fees
• Transportation or delivery fees for materials
• Waste disposal fees
• Site preparation costs (e.g., clearing, excavation)

9. Progress Payments
• Payments to the contractor are typically not given in one lump sum. The usual system is:
• Down Payment – 20%–30% of the total contract price
• Progress Billing – Payment per phase of construction (e.g., after foundation, after roofing)
• Retention Fee – A percentage (e.g., 5%–10%) withheld from each payment and released only after project completion and inspection

Tips:
1. Have a clear contract with a detailed breakdown of costs.
2. Request an itemized estimate to know where your money is going.
3. Ensure a warranty for the contractor’s work.

This will help you avoid unexpected expenses and problems during the construction process.

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.

Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow.

Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.

Never tell yourself you missed your chance.

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.

You can do it. Whatever it is that sets your soul on fire!🔥
