This is one interview where the main character is very self-aware, and sounds like he knows what he want in life. His achievement is driven by his interest, the money is an outcome from that interest rather than the motivation of his interest.
This guy Ravi C is an evolved person. He believes in aligning his values and character with his work projects . He knows what he wants to contribute and he believes in helping the society first. And he is wise enough to know that the monies and profits will come later. Truly inspiring,!
i like this guy ... echoes my principles. I have friends from all age groups and all social levels of life. My wealthy friends we never really talk about money. Character is the most important and being a good person is key. Money is always a symptom
I like this channel because it seeks out people who see beyond ethnicity, religion, ideology and nationality, who will help Singapore to be friends to all and to bridge differences between between nations and cultures. It's a message Singapore as a small multicultural nation could and must give to the world with the help of its Asean neighbours like Indonesia.
Ravi knew from day one, if someone can tell you when to work , what to wear & how to behave you will never be a happy person. It took me 18 years of my career life to realize that , then i venture out to do things my heart wants to do . I'm a contented person by nature , and i can truly say that now I'm financially free, emotionally free and free as a person .
Interesting to listen and learn from Ravi. I'm happy he's Singaporen. I'm certain he will contribe immensely to Singapore. I like to be friends with people who are not obsessed with only themselves. Life is about helping other people. Life is not about me, I and myself!
This man was such a breath of fresh air, he's very well-spoken and articulate. I felt like he was voicing out my thoughts in his world-view. AMAZING content Max, pls keep em coming
Super interesting view points about Asia and sustainability, as well as finding your authentic self while navigating life by Ravi. I agree so much about the rules-based order that governs or politicises so many of the world's issues and laws. Even in social media, most of the views that are "seen and heard" are of the Western world. The algorithm favours that for some reason. As part of Asia, I do wish Singaporeans can speak more about important issues like this on the world stage. Aesthetically, Ravi's jacket with that hue of blue him suits him so well too!
I liked this video you did with Mr.Ravi. for example, the way he sees the current world affairs, how he conduct his business, connections with types of friends, outlook on money, down to his own personality (appreciate yourself) is well said and i can agree to most of his perceptions. Thanks once again brother Max for airing another piece of qualitative vlog. Wish you abundance success.
I feel quite sad that this interview is not garnering as much hits or views as it deserves. Ravi is an enlightened person who is aware of himself, his journey, and his surroundings, not to mention his astute understanding of the Geo-political world. I am certain he will be even wiser 5, 10, 15, 20 years from now. Singapore is lucky to have someone like him in its midst. Many Singaporeans would be wise to emulate him and display less hubris. Despite his largely general philosophical outlook, he is still grounded in hard reality when he discusses the origins of the current Western-centric rules-based world order. This is changing though. That this level of insights in this interview does not generate the attention it warrants is a poor reflection of the local audience. I have to add that some of Max's other interviews are more popular partly because of some "sensational" poles or tags about them. I find it ironical that even though many Singaporeans are proud of their identity and achievements, they seem obsessed with accents, especially American and English ones, often discounting their own people with their Singaporean accents, not to mention that that they subtly look down on people with Eastern European or other Asian accents. The colonial inferiority mentality still persists! Content-wise, this is one of the most enlightening and thoughtful amongst Max's interviewees hands down!
I love your videos listening how foreigners find Singapore. I'm glad it's mostly positive. I always believe - it's great to Holiday in other countries but Singapore is always my home n I'm happy here mainly bec we have a great government, it's safe and very efficient country. However, I always hope n wish that Singaporeans will improve I the area of social graces and social responsibility which sadly is lacking in Singaporeans.
G7 sets the rules to maintains its dominance over the rest. Great quote, "Asia needs its voice." Singapore should go fiercely the 'Swiss' way! Be the bridge for all, not the pawn. Sadly, Ukraine and Taiwan miss the opportunity.
Interesting. The smaller suppliers will not have issues with Western sustainability compliance as long as they revert the cost incurred back to the West. Any demands can be met as long as the buyers pay the price.
I agree with you that Asia needs to find its own voice on international topics, eg digital, cybersecurity, identity, ESG, privacy, unique identity etc. So we can set standards, SOPs, and vocabulary that take into account our place in the lifecycle of that specific topic or industry. As you correctly point out on the topic of pollution. Can Singapore be the voice to represent Asia to Australia, US and EU at high levels? I do not think so because the path of finding voice is to accept debate and that means critical thinking. ie challenging norms and the frame Pragmatism is only one part of critical thinking. The issue with pragmatism is that it can be confused with political stress points. eg if the political party already has a deal going for EVs that could provide 5000 jobs in exchange for 50,000 votes, it would be hard to accept a deal that could plant 5000 trees for 150,000 votes if they set the pragmatic test to 'which group will earn more money in 15 years' time'. The other reason Singapore would not be that voice of Asia is because Singapore is prone to hero worshipping. Hero worshipping scrubs out critical thinking. Thirdly, Singapore is an engineered society with gatekeeping based on race, gender, and identity framing. Societies with gatekeepers generally do not do well in critical thinking. Without critical thinking, standards could be too low or too small a difference from larger countries, to even be considered 'localised'. Forthly, Singapore cannot be that voice, because in general, Singapore cannot produce enough jobs for all its citizens and rely on trade deals. Without these trade deals, major corporations would likely not find it profitable to be in Singapore, and leave, and if they did, hundreds of thousands of Singaporeans and foreigners, may be millions, would find themselves jobless or working under capacity. Not all Asean countries have this problem. But the number 1 reason I think that Singapore cannot be a voice of Asia to US etc, is simply because Asia is highly diverse and each country has its own strategic vision and competitive advantage, and each is very capable for speaking for their own selves. It is especially important to respect these differences since some have their own manufacturing bases, oil and gas reserves, natural gems and metals sectors, and some simply do not, and cannot possibly pretend to understand their key challenges or economic features. Bear in mind, some key features of any economic strategy may have some sensitive issues that they do not wish to disclose and that is fair and healthy.
We were in Singapore on New Year's Eve for the second time, and I have to tell you that it was a less pleasant experience than the year before. We got caught in a stampede of people trying to leave, and it became so dangerous that even mothers with little children were afraid of being crushed in the crowd. Besides the fact that the fireworks were very disappointing, the event was poorly organized with too narrow passageways, leading to dangerous situations, especially for small children. Another thing I noticed was that far more people were throwing rubbish on the floor, smoking everywhere, and being ruder than usual. Even at the Christmas display at Gardens by the Bay (which I enjoyed so much the year before), it was poorly organized, with rude people selling tickets and even ruder people checking the tickets. I don’t think there will be a third New Year’s Eve for us in Singapore. Sad.
I like your videos Max, and how they showcase and reinforce the new multi-polarity state of the world, and that US is no longer the only "great" country in the world

Ravi is so amazing and generous and honest with his advice
This has got to be the best interview so far, wise words
Absolutely agree. We need more people and leaders like this in the world
listening to this guy is time well spent
This guy has what it takes to drive the conversation on an important topic... instead of just focusing on which country he prefers to live in.
Love ur videos. Learning alot from people all over the world that's living in Singapore.

The best interview touching on all aspects …❤️
Great interview, great character, thank you.
I enjoyed this interview a lot. Ravi has a great perspective and knows himself really well. Thanks for posting and thanks for you channel!
Excellent interview. This guy is an inspiration!
Sincerely Thankfully for your love and contribution to Singapore from a Singaporean ❤
very insightful interview
Mostly shallow questions followed by deep answers. Brilliant interviewee.

This gentleman was a joy to listen to. Many thanks to him and his insight. I needed to hear that today.

It would be interesting to attend his lectures. 8-)
His smile never stop
Superb interview such intellectual reasoning to lead life tx learning experience ❤
Ravi reminds me of Kishore Mahbubani - coexist and be a friend to all, but with a milder tone!
I love your videos listening how foreigners find Singapore. I'm glad it's mostly positive. I always believe - it's great to Holiday in other countries but Singapore is always my home n I'm happy here mainly bec we have a great government, it's safe and very efficient country.

It’s a joy listening to him , diction is so clear
One of the best interviews on your channel 👏🏻👍
Ravi is an excellent example of why Singapore is such a success. Impressive.
I like this guy , he talk sense :D
I was an outsider when I came to Singapore in 1970 from west Malaysia. 😁😁😁
Great content! Thank you!
🙏

We welcome you because of your wealth😂 but thank you for your contribution😊

Good Indian and can apply Singapore and Malaysia passport can enter to China trip visa free there.

Max - keep your guest dry buddy! Swap seats! 😂 🙏

Actually Americans were outsiders when they first came to America 😂😂
Our ancestors are mostly outsiders as well 😅
@ianmann28 hey yo don't be offend . It's joke
@ianmann28 i totally understand what you said . historically brits are not native of SA . Even African-Americans were also not Americans before 80's🤡
It's true, most of us start as outsiders.
Singapreans are rational. Rest of the world is not? Strange generalization. Good interview.
I like your videos Max, and how they showcase and reinforce the new multi-polarity state of the world, and that US is no longer the only "great" country in the world
