Not Size but Depth of Deal

It’s Not the Size of the Deal — It’s the Depth of the Heart

Some people say,

“Don’t waste time with small deals or small classes.
A speaker should speak to hundreds, not to one or two.”

But to me, it’s never about the number.
It’s about the meaning, the energy, and the intention we bring.

When I teach one person, I’m not just training one mind —
I may be transforming a future leader, a parent, a changemaker.
That one heart, touched deeply, can touch hundreds more.

From the lens of YAS — Yijing, Art of War, and SuperME
there is no big or small battle, only worthy or unworthy ones.

  • From Yijing, we learn that every small seed holds the pattern of Heaven and Earth.
    The smallest hexagram line can shift an entire destiny.

  • From Art of War, we know that victory lies in choosing the right ground,
    not the largest one.

  • From SuperME, we act with Purpose, Love, and Gratitude.
    When the heart is pure, even a small act creates infinite ripples.

So, I no longer ask, “How many people will attend?”
I ask, “Will what I share truly help them?”
Because when we serve from the heart, the size of the audience no longer matters —
the impact multiplies invisibly through time, through hearts, through lives.

🌿 “Do not measure your worth by numbers.
Measure it by how much love you bring into every moment.”

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...
