3 Biggest Trends: Data Overload, AI and EQ

🌍 The 3 Biggest Global Trends Right Now — and How Yijing Helps Us Navigate Them

1. Overload of Data, Yet Shortage of Clarity

Trend:
We live in an era of information inflation. AI, analytics, and instant data feed us millions of inputs — yet leaders and professionals increasingly struggle to make clear, timely, and wise decisions.

How Yijing Helps:
The Yijing is the original decision-making system in uncertainty — it helps leaders find patterns in chaos.

Instead of drowning in information, you learn to see energy movements — what is rising, declining, transforming.

The practice of consulting Yijing teaches clarity through simplicity — identifying the one decisive factor that matters most.


2. Constant Change, Yet Emotional Rigidity

Trend:
People and organizations face rapid technological, social, and cultural changes — but emotionally, many are stuck. Stress, burnout, and fear of failure block agility.

How Yijing Helps:
Yijing is literally the Book of Change (易) — its entire philosophy is about adapting with flow, not force.

It trains leaders to be emotionally flexible yet internally grounded.

By understanding Yin–Yang dynamics, one sees when to advance, when to retreat, when to endure, and when to transform.

🧭 Modern Application:
In leadership and change management, Yijing builds psychological adaptability — the rare ability to stay calm, balanced, and creative amid uncertainty.

3. Rise of AI, Decline of Human Connection

Trend:
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping industries — but also deepening the sense of disconnection. People crave meaning, empathy, and human authenticity more than ever.

How Yijing Helps:
Yijing reconnects us with Tian (Purpose), Ren (Relationships), and Di (Reality) — restoring harmony between logic, emotion, and intuition.

It teaches that true intelligence (智) is not just machine learning, but heart learning — wisdom that unites data with humanity.

It reminds us that technology should serve life, not replace it.

🧭 Modern Application:
Yijing-trained leaders integrate AI with EI (emotional intelligence), using technology wisely while keeping the human spirit at the core of innovation.

🌟 In Summary

> The world today moves at lightning speed, yet the human spirit still beats to an ancient rhythm.

The 7,000-year-old Yijing is not old — it is timeless.

It teaches us how to flow with change, see beyond data, and lead with both strategy and soul.

When we align with these ancient principles, we don’t just survive the future — we shape it.

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "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...
