Very few of us actually plan our careers. In fact, many of us spend more effort planning what schools to go to, what co-curricular activities to join or where to go on holiday than what careers to go into. The reality, though, is that you will spend around two-thirds of your adult life at work, and how that time is spent goes a long way towards determining your quality of life. In this inspirational collection of 20 interviews with some of Singapore’s leading professionals, author Ronald Tay distills their lessons and insights into a power-packed guide to achieving success in work and life. Coming from diverse industries and fields of expertise, each interviewee reveals his or her journey from the tentative first steps, to the setbacks and difficulties, to finally tasting the fruits of their choices and hard work. Discover their secrets to laying the foundations for a successful career! Ronald Tay is Executive Director at the UBS Business University, overseeing talent and leadership development in the Asia Pacific region. His contributions within the training development field have helped his firm win HRM's Best Training and Development Award two years in a row in 2012 and 2013. Ronald also lectures on Career Management topics at the Singapore Management University and National University of Singapore. He completed his executive MBA from the University of Southern Illinois with distinctions earned in all his 11 course modules

Metaphor in Psychotherapy

Metaphor in Psychotherapy

A descriptive and prescriptive analysis

By: Dennis Tay

This book represents a bold attempt to address contemporary issues in both metaphor and psychotherapy research. On one hand, metaphor research is increasingly concerned not just with describing metaphors in discourse, but how they could be used more adroitly in purposive ‘real world’ contexts such as psychotherapy. On the other hand, while a growing number of mental health professionals believe that metaphors contribute in some way to the psychotherapy process, their ability and willingness to use metaphors might be compromised by a relative unfamiliarity with the various nuanced aspects of metaphor theory. The present analysis of metaphors in authentic psychotherapeutic talk brings these theoretical aspects to the forefront, and suggests how they can be applied to enhance the use of communication of metaphors in psychotherapy. It should be of interest to metaphor researchers, mental health professionals, and discourse analysts in general.

Colony, Nation, and Globalisation

Not at Home in Singaporean and Malaysian Literature

By: Eddie Tay

The literature of Malaysia and Singapore, the multicultural epicentre of Asia, offers a rich body of source material for appreciating the intellectual heritage of colonial and postcolonial Southeast Asia. Focusing on themes of home and belonging, Eddie Tay illuminates many aspects of identity anxiety experienced in the region, and helps construct a dialogue between postcolonial theory and the Anglophone literatures of Singapore and Malaysia. A chronologically ordered selection of texts is examined including Swettenham, Bird, Maugham, Burgess, and Thumboo. This genealogy of works includes colonial travel writings and sketches as well as contemporary diasporic novels by Malaysian and Singapore-born authors based outside their countries of origin. The premise is that home is a physical space as well as a symbolic terrain invested with social, political and cultural meanings. As discussions of politics and history augment close readings of literary works, the book should appeal not only to scholars of literature, but also to scholars of Southeast Asian politics and history.

High Performance Control

High Performance Control

By: Teng-Tiow Tay,Iven Mareels,John B. Moore

The engineering objective of high performance control using the tools of optimal control theory, robust control theory, and adaptive control theory is more achiev able now than ever before, and the need has never been greater. Of course, when we use the term high peiformance control we are thinking of achieving this in the real world with all its complexity, uncertainty and variability. Since we do not expect to always achieve our desires, a more complete title for this book could be "Towards High Performance Control". To illustrate our task, consider as an example a disk drive tracking system for a portable computer. The better the controller performance in the presence of eccen tricity uncertainties and external disturbances, such as vibrations when operated in a moving vehicle, the more tracks can be used on the disk and the more memory it has. Many systems today are control system limited and the quest is for high performance in the real world.
