The 8 Things To Say in an Election Campaign Speech

The 8 Things To Say in an Election Campaign Speech, they are using Yijing's 8 Trigrams or Ba Gua.

1. Start with Bright Future to excite people. Just like the Qian (Universe) gua in Yijing, this will open up possibilities and give power to your audience.

2. How to Execute: Listen like the Kun (Earth) gua in Yijing. Serve people's needs by listening to their concerns and aspirations

3. Overcoming Difficulties. In Kan gua, difficulties are there but we will work with you and persevere because we have

4. Fire in the Belly. This is the Li (Fire) gua, where with passion, clarity and enthusiasm, we can overcome obstacles and emerge stronger.

5. Take things step by step. Like the Xun (Wind) gua, gentle penetration will be able to reach all corners and leave no one behind and leave no stones unturned.

6. Take decisive and fast Action. We are not afraid to act fast if necessary, be it to leverage opportunities or tackle issues. We are much like the Zhen (Thunder) gua, with lots of action and no hesitation.

7. Stay Firm to our Values and Vision, like the Gen (Mountain) that is a steady rock to support to all.

8. Have Fun! The going is tough, but we will have fun along the way, much like the Dui (Lake) gua that brings everyone together to enjoy the journey to our common destination.

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...

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...
