Living in An Expectation World

We Don’t Live in the AI World — We Live in the World of Expectations

Many people think we live in the AI world.
Some say we live in the perceived world.
Others claim we live in the real world.

But the truth is — we live in just one world:
The World of Expectations.

Your life is not shaped by what happens to you —
it is shaped by what you expect from it.

When I expect good things to happen,
even when something bad occurs, I can still find meaning.
I can be grateful, because I see it as part of something good unfolding.

On the other hand, when I expect nothing,
I become easily content — even small joys feel big.
But we can’t live with zero expectations forever.
Because expectations also pull us forward.
They give us purpose. They are our compass.

That’s why, every morning, I set just one clear expectation.
Like today — my only expectation was to share this message
with as many people as possible.

Because once you understand this —
that life itself is a mirror of your expectations —
you stop waiting for the world to change.
You start changing your expectations — and the world follows.

So let me ask you:
What are you expecting today?

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".

"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...

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...
