Teguh Pranoto Chen. All of My Heart
Prologue
There is always a sky above the sky
Enjoy your work as you will work for most of your life
You are intelligent, but are you well-rounded?
The grass is always greener on the other side
Slow down and smell the roses
Live to fight another day
It is always personal to the one losing his job
What would you do if you had one day left to live?
Don’t sell your soul to the devil
The most necessary steps are often the hardest to take
Finale

I can almost hear my father telling me off… “You’ve got to start taking care of yourself, son. You’re not getting any younger.”

God, I wish I had spent more time with the people I love.
Max was the quiet one with geeky glasses who sat opposite me in the far corner. He struck me as possibly a little shy… Needless to say, he was just absorbing every detail and biding his time. When he introduced himself, I was to discover that he was top of his class at Stanford, had family connections with the CEO, and was popular with the ladies. Didn’t even need the glasses — and would you believe, he never wore them again anyway.
