We all have a
girlfriend called
ThinkPad. Never
leave it in the car.
Always bring it
along everywhere
you go.

Trust NO one.
IBM actually pays
people to go
around stealing
ThinkPads in the
office. Always
keep it locked.

Managers are
forgetful. They
will ignore what
you have worked
on during PBC
evaluation if you
did not clock your
hours. Never miss
your clocking.

Leaving was a logically easy but
emotionally tough decision to
make. I guess that says a lot
about the place culture and
people that I have been
associating myself with for a long
time (6.5 years to be exact). There
were those who made direct
impact from a $$$, opportunity
and support standpoint. And those
who made equally big impact by
doing nothing for me but just
being passionate at their own
job….. as role models. This life
changing journey shaped who I
am today and will always be a
part of me in the future.
- Ben Ng
Here's to the crazy ones. The
misfits. The rebels. The
troublemakers. The round pegs in
the square holes. The ones who
see things differently. They're not
fond of rules. And they have no
respect for the status quo. You can
quote them, disagree with them,
glorify or vilify them. About the
only thing you can't do is ignore
them. Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as
the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy
enough to think they can change
the world, are the ones who do.
