Dear Colleagues & Friends,

Alumni for Life is an informal group created for individuals who share a common thread – we have all worked in or currently still working in AIA or AIG group. We have all travelled in the insurance road and as we continue in our journey, life takes on a broader dimension and perspective.

The purpose of the informal group is to provide a platform for communication and network. It can also be a reference station for precious memories of times together. Colleagues who have contributed in sharing their experiences, thoughts, insights and wisdom will undoubtedly provide some elements of encouragement, inspiration and motivation to colleagues and friends.

For a start, the blog contains the introduction and a post on “A Tribute to the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore.


Happy Memories and Reading!

IONs of Extraordinary Achievements

Through the ions of time, many theories and principles on achieving excellence have been expounded by experts and professionals.  Let me share my personal perspective on the basic essentials of attaining extraordinary results.  I call it the "ION's of Achievement"!  Nothing new or profound but simply presented in a nutshell that can be easily assimilated and recalled.

The 3 IONs that result in extraordinary achievements:
  • VisION
  • PassION
  • AcION
VisION - ability to see the big picture in the mind.  It is the beginning and the guiding force.
PassION - the fire that ignites and propels the human spirit towards the vision.  It adds colour and vibrancy to the picture.
ActION - the vision and passion are translated into tangible actions. The painting of the picture - cleverly crafted actions that transform the vision into reality.
  
The 3 IONs Involves the combination of mind, spirit and body!

The above IONs components are found in all results-oriented individuals.  The latest example can be found in the extraordinary achievement of Joseph Schooling - the first Singaporean to attained a gold medal in Olympics, even breaking the game's record.

Summary:  The VisION is the starting point and guiding force; PassION is the propelling force; and ActION is the execution force that brings the "IONs" components together for a possible extraordinary achievement.  When you cast your Vision,  ignite your Passion and realized your dreams through your unwavering Action.
