How do you get rid of a bad habit in your behaviour system?

By Carol Yip

To delete, get rid of or remove a word, file, software or programme inside a computer, you need to press the “Delete” key on the keyboard.

Unfortunately, there is no “Delete” function in your brain.

A Loving and Strict Father

By Tan Yen Fong

Kuok believed the most important word in life is 奋斗 (strive).

Kuok’s daughter Kuok Hui Kwong shared, “When we were kids, our father would still care about us despite his busy schedule. He especially cared about our education. Hong Kong was still a British colonial then. hence, many of our friends from well-off families were sent to international schools or British schools by their parents. However, our father insisted we study Chinese, particularly, Mandarin, not Cantonese. At that time, the only Chinese school in Hong Kong was at North Point, which was about a 20-minute drive away and we finished our elementary education there. I must say we did whine about it as Mandarin is not as easy as English. There was a lot of homework. But now, we are thankful to our father for insisting we learn Mandarin.”
