How Knowing Yijing can Help Delinquent Kids

Understanding and applying Yijing can be particularly beneficial for delinquent kids in several straightforward ways:

1. Self-reflection: Yijing encourages thinking about one's behavior and choices. For example, a delinquent kid might use Yijing to reflect on why they got into a fight at school, helping them understand their emotions and reactions better.

2. Decision-making: Yijing offers insights into various life situations, teaching kids to think about the consequences before acting. For instance, before skipping class, a kid might consider the long-term effects of missing education as suggested by a Yijing reading.

3. Handling Change: Yijing teaches that change is constant and managing it is part of life. A delinquent kid might learn to adapt better to a new school or home environment, seeing change as a normal and manageable process.

4. Ethical Guidance: Through its hexagrams, Yijing provides advice on right and wrong. This could guide a kid in choosing to return a found wallet rather than keeping it, based on the ethical lessons from a specific hexagram.

5. Communication Skills: Yijing's focus on understanding different perspectives can improve how kids interact with others. A kid might use this to better explain their feelings to a guardian or teacher, instead of acting out.

By relating Yijing’s teachings to daily situations like these, delinquent kids can find practical advice and wisdom to help them navigate their challenges and improve their behavior.

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...
