Tonight, out of town friends Dr. Majestic Tam and his wife Jen came to Hong Kong. I treated them to great Shanghainess food.

But I really enjoyed our conversation. We spoke about issues with people and how to have conflict resolutions.

At the end, I reminded them that 80% of happiness comes from our relationship with people.

The take away from this day was that people have egos, and we must understand how to protect other people’s ego.

It takes years to build a relationship, but one mishap can burn the bridge. I have read book on emotional quotient but at the end, it is very simple. When offering advice, first ask for permission to give advice.

2nd, deliver the advice in a constructive way. I find that people with great people skills are the ones that are getting their way in life.

Just a great night filled with great conversation and food.
