Knowing Yijing (I Ching) can provide individuals with valuable insights and wisdom to help them avoid being scammed or cheated in various aspects of life. Here are five ways in which this ancient Chinese text can offer protection against deceit:

1. Enhanced Decision-Making Skills:

Yijing emphasizes the importance of thoughtful and informed decision-making. By learning to analyze situations deeply and considering all facets before making decisions, individuals are less likely to be impulsive or naive, traits that scammers often exploit.

2. Developing Intuition and Awareness:

The practice of consulting the Yijing can sharpen one's intuition and situational awareness. This heightened sense of awareness can help individuals detect when something seems off or too good to be true, allowing them to recognize potential scams before falling victim to them.

3. Understanding of Change and Cycles:
The Yijing teaches about the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of change. This understanding can help individuals recognize patterns and irregularities in behavior or offers that may signal fraudulent intentions.

4. Cultivating Patience and Reflection:
The Yijing encourages patience and reflection, discouraging rash actions. By taking the time to reflect and not rushing into decisions, especially under pressure (a common tactic used by scammers), individuals can avoid hasty decisions that might lead to being scammed.

5. Strengthening Ethical Judgment and Integrity:
Yijing's teachings often revolve around ethics and morality. By internalizing these values, individuals are better equipped to discern the intentions of others, distinguishing between genuine offers and deceitful schemes. This moral compass is crucial in navigating interactions where the risk of being cheated or scammed is present.

In summary, Yijing offers not just divinatory insights but also practical wisdom, enhancing one's abilities to make sound decisions, develop intuition, understand life's cycles, cultivate patience, and maintain strong ethical judgment, all of which are essential in identifying and avoiding scams and deceitful situations.

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...
