Create the Timing

Create the Timing, Don’t Wait for It
by Andy Ng

In the Art of War, Sun Tzu reminds us — timing is everything.
Yet, many people believe that timing means waiting.
They say, “When I’m more prepared, when I’m more trained, when I feel ready… then it’ll be the right time.”

But that, my friends, is not correct.
Because in reality — the best timing is never found. It is created.

If you wait until everything is ready, by the time you act, others would have already done it.
And if you act when you’re tired, lost, or demotivated, you’ll miss the flow.

So how do we create the right timing?
We return to our SuperME.

When you face your Super Mirror, you don’t just see who you are — you see who you truly can be.
You don’t focus on your flaws; you reconnect with your strengths.
You remember the times you’ve overcome, achieved, and risen above.
That reflection — that Super Mirror — awakens the energy to create your own timing.

And when you’re ready to act, you consult the Yijing, the Book of Changes.
It teaches us that everything in life follows cause and effect.
Don’t just be the effect of someone else’s cause.
Be the cause that creates your own effect.

So don’t wait for timing to arrive — it won’t.
Don’t hope the world aligns — it rarely will.

Instead, create your timing.
Face your Super Mirror.
Light up your inner fire.
And then — take the first step.

Because the best time to act is not now…
The best time to act — is when you decide to create the time to act.

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...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment.
