Stop Making Money and Start Making Health Money Now!

As we know, making money, especially making plenty of money, is the goal of everyone. But because everyone is focused on making money, other things like environment, morals and health are ignored. Just look at the rapidly deteriorating air and noise pollution in cities like Beijing and Jakarta and you'll know what I am talking about.

Today the corporate buzzword is "Making Healthy Money". Like what Jack Ma, the founder of www.alibaba.com and www.taobao.com says, making healthy money will also lead you to making more money in a sustainable way. And when your health is better, you can make even more healthy money and so the vicious cycle goes up. By the way, 'healthy' includes not just physical health, but also mental and spiritual health.

Here are 5 Ways that You Too Can Make Healthy Money in Your Job or Business Now:

Use computer systems and e-commerce systems to reduce wastages, improve communication and excess stock.
Reduce negative stress among employees by eliminating corporate in-fighting, office politics and ever shortening unrealistic deadlines.
Promote Love in the workplace so that people can feel better, thereby reducing toxic in their bodies. You can read more about "How to Use Love Professionally" at here)
Keep a Clear Mind by Eliminating Trash in your cluttered mind. One easy way that we use everyday in our office at Asia Trainers is weekly reflection on what to improve on.
Do Things with Moral. Yes, it is faster to make money in immoral ways (like copying instead of creating new things) but we know that such easy money are just 'easy come, easy go'. When you do things with moral, you are creating positive karma and what goes around, comes around.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
