7 Lessons from Ancient Asian Philisophy

1. You will learn lessons. Life is a constant learning experience, there are no failures or success, only lessons

2. A lesson is repeated until it is learnt. A problem that continues is a lesson that we haven't learnt yet. So to blame others for your misfortunes is not taking lesson for yourself.  Because of this blame, you will continue to make the same mistakes, abeit in different situations. You will only stop making mistakes when you have learnt the lesson. 

3. Others are merely mirrors of you. What we dislike in others we also have that same dislike for ourselves. 

4. What you make of your life is up to you. You yourself must walk the path.  Others can guide or help you, but they cannot do it for you. 

5. The answers lie inside. No matter what people tell you, happiness can only come from inside you. In order to find true inner peace, you need to trust yourself and accept yourself, then you can find the answers within you and not keep on looking outside for answers.

6. There's always something that we can achieve to achieve success that we deserve.  We al have potential and every single human is unique. There is no need to compare and there's always something you can succeed at. The trick is not to give up.

7. There is a difference between your self worth and your self esteem. Self worth is what you think you are worth, and self esteem is what you think of youself. Most people have high self esteem but low self worth. For example, they are happy when people praise them, but got offended with criticisms. This is a clear sign of lack of self worth.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
