Wealth is not measured by what you have and other Re-framing

As a trainer and teacher, I know that my clients know more than me. They don't need us to teach them anything.

But everyone appreciates someone to tell them something they don't know. Many times it is not new knowledge but a different way of looking at things.

This is what re-frame is about. It's about changing the frame or the way you look at things. That's what everyone wants. Here are 7 things that you can easily re-frame:

Wealth is not measured by how much you have, but how much you can afford to lose and still not considered poor
Sales: Selling is not about making people buy, but teaching people to want to buy from you
Purchases is not about seeking the lowest possible price from your vendors but seeking the highest return from what you buy
Management is not about managing people but managing time, money and resources
Employment is not a entitlement but a service, and the biggest service is yourself. If your employment is not serving you, it is a bad employment
The highest purpose in life is not to have everything but to serve others. What Zig Ziglar said, you can have everything you want as long as you help enough other people get what they want
Politics is the beginning of war, and war is the end to politics

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...
