PREFACE
What is the purpose of my existence?
What is my fundamental role on this earth?
Why did God put me on this earth?
I reflect often on these three questions as a Christian businessman and inventor. It is through constant reflection on these three questions that I discovered that one of the primary purposes of my existence is to solve problems through research and the development of new products to solve existential unsolved problems in the industry.
As I saw my little inventions contributing to the socio-economic progress of my staff and global distributors, my fundamental role on this earth became clear to me. Thus, my primary role on this earth is to contribute to the social and economic advancement of those who cross my path. It brought me deep satisfaction and contentment in my life to see former salespeople, engineers, managers, etc. ascend the socio-economic ladder no matter where they came from in the developed and developing world.
I found the answer to the question of ‘Why did God put me on this earth?’ after reading Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. —Matthew 5:16
To do good work means to do anything that helps humanity or makes society a better place through my inventions.
The Reflection of Life is a book that has been written to motivate anyone reading it to fulfil their life purpose as they journey through this world. It is written to motivate those who may not criss-cross my path in life.
The Reflection of Life is a collection of my personal written quotations based on my life journey, experiences, and constant reflections of my life over the years.
Our thoughts and feelings are the difference between an intelligent robot and us. It is these feelings that make people human. It is our thoughts and feelings that set us apart from an intelligent robot. We are human because of these feelings. —Nelson Cheng
From now on, brothers and sisters, if anything is excellent and if anything is admirable, focus your thoughts on these things: all that is true, all that is holy, all that is just, all that is pure, all that is lovely, and all that is worthy of praise. —Philippians 4:8

FOREWORD
Having known Dr Nelson Cheng for more than 15 years, I have found him to be very passionate about all his endeavours, and always willing to share his knowledge and experiences with others.
He has condensed his experiences over the past 35 years into this forty-chapter book Reflection of Life.
We learn lessons from life on a continuous basis. This book directs us to pay attention to what we learn and acknowledge our goals to improve ourselves, by doing so, positively impact the people around us.
Reflecting on life’s situations and experiences is something we should do consciously every now and then. Would things have been different if we had done them differently? Were there any lessons to be learned from these? Can we achieve a different outcome next time if we change something? All these questions are essential for the betterment of our lives.
There are roller coasters in life. Find and offer only what’s good within us so we can turn it into genuine fun. Being a good person takes effort, as strange as it sounds. The process requires self-awareness. Perseverance is required. Although you may not fully understand everything that is different, you should keep an open mind about it.
Reflection of life is indeed a good book for anyone who is still struggling in life due to a lack of reflection on their life.
Highly recommended for all working adults, tertiary students, etc.

FOREWORD
The book highlights the importance of dedicating daily time to meditate about our lives. Nowadays this is relevant because we are living in a digital distraction era where everybody is competing to attract and gain our attention and if we are not careful our focus is easily lost causing some delays in the pursuit of our dreams and in the fulfillment of our destiny.
Dr. Nelson Cheng has a humble and noble heart. He is a living example of a visionary man, husband, family man, entrepreneur, inventor, businessman, innovator, and a man of God highly committed to adding value to society. He shares insights from his deep heart that will help you to thrive in life and shape your future. Success leaves its marks; hence, you can take advantage of it through his work.
This book is a creative, practical, and powerful tool to meditate and reflect on the perspectives, thoughts, and wisdom acquired by Dr. Cheng along his own successful and meaningful journey. He invites the reader to self-reflect on its own experiences, actions, thoughts, struggles, and failures, and learn from them to improve and grow. Also, it encourages us to think and live intentionally. It makes the call to be action-oriented people.
“Reflections of Life” is full of seeds of value and greatness. It is pure gold. I found it to be a source of wisdom. It is very helpful to unleash the potential of the current and new generations and empower them to develop a growth mindset and live meaningful lives. I see this work as a gift to humankind delivered by Dr. Cheng.
As a passionate about personal growth, I can tell you that this is a treasure that will provide great benefit to your life and the people around you. Take the principles and ideas shared in this work and apply them and I am sure wonderful things will happen. Finally, remember there is power in thoughts, as thoughts become words, words become actions, actions become habits, habits become a character, and character is transformed into your destiny. For that reason, be a guardian of your mind and heart.
“Carefully guard your thoughts because they are the source of true life.” – Proverbs 4:23
Enjoy the ride!

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

“Thoughts are seeds for action.” James Cheng
Why Reflection of Life is Essential? was inspired by Brother James Cheng’s statement “Thoughts are seeds for action” written in the Bible he left in my home.
This statement has been etched on the tablet of my heart ever since.
The statement has become my credo of life, and it motivates me to put it into practice every time I come up with a new thought or an idea.
This practice ultimately led me to become a leading Singapore inventor with more than 25 filed patents, inventor of more than 500 products, one of Singapore’s most inspiring entrepreneurs, author of books, and publisher of more than 140 scientific journals.
Through his ministry, he led many to Jesus as the first missionary from the Cheng clan.
The Lord has blessed him with success as a businessman, and he is a great witness for Jesus.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my beloved brother James Cheng for the statement he made. Once again, the statement above inspired this book.
My sincere thanks go out to you, bro.
Regards
Nelson Cheng
