The 8 Ways How Knowing Yijing can Help us Avoid Scams

8 Ways How Knowing Yijing can Help us Avoid Scams
1. Spotting Red Flags Early

🔍 Yijing teaches us to recognize patterns.

Just like how it predicts life cycles, we can use it to spot scam patterns.

Example: Scammers promise quick money with no effort. The Yijing reminds us that success follows a natural path—anything too fast is against nature.

2. Understanding Hidden Intentions

😈 People’s words may sound good, but their real motives can be different.

The Yijing helps us sense true vs. false by looking at the energy behind actions.  To Yijing, what is Yin (not seen) is more important than Yang (seen). 

Example: Love scams often involve sweet talk, but the Yijing tells us to observe actions, not just words.  Not just actions, but consistent actions over time.

3. Knowing When to Wait and When to Act

⌛ Scammers pressure you to act fast.

The Yijing teaches that everything has its right timing. If you feel rushed, it’s a sign to pause.

Example: Many people fall for fake investment scams because they feel FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).  Knowing Yijing makes you think twice. 

4. Balancing Logic and Intuition

🤔 Yijing strengthens both our logical thinking and gut feeling.

Scammers trick people by playing on emotions, but the Yijing helps us stay calm and think clearly.  When you know Yijing's 5 Moving Elements, you know that there is always a countering element to something, e.g. use your logic to counter gut feeling.  

5. Avoiding Illusions & Hype

🎭 Scams often look too good to be true.

The Yijing warns us about illusions and false hope.  Yijing is about reflecting nature, and nature is never nice, even it is nice outside, inside is not nice. Eg behind the beautiful mountains could be snake or pitfalls. Example: Fake job offers promising high pay for little work, which is plain obvious, provided you know Yijing. 

6. Identifying the Right People to Trust

🧐 The Yijing helps us read people’s true character.

By checking someone’s energy and intentions, we can see if they are trustworthy.

Example: Ponzi scheme leaders seem friendly and charming, but Yijing teaches that real leaders have integrity and long-term vision.

Yijing has an element of 'Think before you act', and behind every nice action (Yang) could be an evil intention (Yin). 

7. Learning From Past Mistakes

🔄 Yijing is about Reflections, and since Yijing said that everything moves in cycles, history repeats itself.  But knowing Yijing helps us break bad cycles.

If we’ve fallen for scams before, we can use the Yijing to change our future decisions.  Example: Some people lose money in multiple scams because they repeat the same mistakes.

👉 A man lost money in a fake trading app, then joined another scam promising “guaranteed profits.” T

8. Protecting Ourselves and Others

🛡️ When we understand Yijing, we can help others avoid scams too.

The wisdom we gain isn’t just for us—it allows us to warn family and friends before they fall into traps.

Example: Parents teaching their kids about scam tactics, using Yijing principles.

👉 A teenager almost lost money to a fake online seller. If he had consulted his parents, they might have checked the Yijing and received a hexagram like “䷥ (Biting Through),” which advises taking strong action to remove problems.

Conclusion: Yijing isn’t just for ancient wisdom—it’s a practical guide for modern life. By using it, we can avoid scams, trust the right people, and make better decisions.

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...
