The 2 Docs

Imagine a well balanced scale, and just a grain of sand can be what it takes to tip the scales to one side.....  

THAT is the tipping point.... 

In everything we do, we usually have to put in effort and persevere and sometimes we may not see the immediate results until much later.   

For those with resilience we will go the extra mile, yet for many they may just quit before the tipping point to make everything happen.  

This week we talk about the tipping point! Ideas borrowed from famous author Malcom Gladwell

Are female body builder too chunky for you to date?  

Would a regular guy want to go out with a female body builder?  I think many of us when we mention about female body builder we may think of WWE wrestlers and the female participants within in. All chunky and lean mass.

Ever heard of the 3 second rule? 

 No it's not the one where your food drops on the floor and you can pick it up to eat it!

We all have this one person who seems to sap the energy out of us. 

High likely they are our friends, or relatives, or *gulp* maybe even our parents!!  

Yet many of us to now realise the effect of energy came from these people close to us.   

This week we will dive into the issue of toxic people, and how to identify and handle them

We all have heard of FOMO or Fear Of Missing Out. 

In Malaysia and Singapore we call it "KIASU" Just because someone else has it or is doing it, we too want to partake and have it!  

But what is JOMO?  

JOMO or also known as "Joy Of Missing Out", is when we are glad NOT to be part of the pack!  

So what are you? A FOMO or JOMO person?  Check out Episode 96 to find out our preference and banter

Ever heard the phrase "Knowing is half the battle won" ?  

Basically it means if you know something, you should do better. Yet most people make poor decisions despite the logic of knowing.  

Take for example: A product sells for $1000 

But as a marketing gimmick it was on sale at $999 

The logic of it is $1 discount 

The emotional side of your brain says it's a good deal and you made the purchase.  

Or putting on seat belt saves lives. Yet when we get into an Uber or Grab at the back, we don't bother putting on the seat belt....  

There's a lot more examples which we will speak on this episode. 

Want to know why it's called GI Joe Fallacy? Watch and learn something new!!

Why do Malaysians look so high upon people with titles. 

If you have a Dato, Dato Seri, Datuk, Tan Sri, etc......the general public seem to bestow extra respect and give more leeway to them.  

It's probably warranted when those titles are given out of merit.....  

But what if those titles are purchased? Not necessarily on merit. Just with cash? Do we still give unconditional privileges and respect to them?  

Tune in to hear our take on this matter

When was the last time you swore at work? 

Or when was the last time your boss swore at someone at work?  

Whether it is in jest or meant as an expression, most people will no longer find it acceptable or tolerable in a changing society.  

But what if....sometimes.....swearing can be beneficial at work?

Have you met someone online who was totally not who they are in real life? If you have, you have been cat-fished!!  

While there are people who do the above, more often, people tend to prefer to "harmlessly" portray themselves with a more seemingly perfect life.

Having the perfect angle for photos, frequent travelling, leading the lifestyle of affluence.... etc....  But in reality they are not the same. 

There is a reality and social media gap of perspective.  Why do people do it?   

That's what we are here to talk about on the latest episode of The 2 Docs
