THE CHINESE 12 ZODIAC AND YOU

THE CHINESE 12 ZODIAC AND YOU (written by Andy Ng at AsiaTrainers)

As we know, the 12 Zodiac animals is derived from Yijing and they are in 6 pairs of 2 animals each.

Yijing Yin and Yang complement each other and so are the animals.

Note: To know your zodiac animal, know your birthday per lunar calendar. Note that the zodiac year starts from Li Chun, which is either Feb 4 or 1st day of the lunar new year, WHICHEVER IS EARLIER.

Also, the time to start is 11 pm on the previous night. So, for Rabbit year 2023, it starts from 11 pm on 21 Jan 2023 (because 1st day of lunar new year is 22 Jan 2023)

Rat and Ox: Rat being Clever and Fast, need to balance with Ox's Hardworking and Dedication

Tiger and Rabbit: Tiger is Daring and Fierceful, rabbit is On the Ground and Detailed-Oriented.

Dragon and Snake: Dragon represents Going for the Sky, while snake is about Flexibility and Feel the Ground.

Horse and Goat: Horse is about Charging Forward to reach the destination or goal, while the Goat is about Reaching as a Group.

Monkey and Rooster: Money is about Swift and Opportunistic, while Rooster is about Discipline (and ringing alarm bell)

Dog and Pig: Dog is about being Loyal and Faithful, while the Pig represents Living in the Present Moment and Knowing when to Rest and Enjoy.

The Pig is the last because we need to really have a life!

As for Yin and Yang, the odd number animal is yang while even number animal is yin. So rabbit is yin while tiger is yang.

"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

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life? Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect? How about people in the past without mobile numbers? You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers?
