Most Important Skill in 2026 is Horse Riding

The destiny facing every working person is like a trained but powerful horse.

If you are weak, the horse grows stronger.
If you hesitate, the horse runs ahead without you.

Now step into 2026.

You begin to notice something.

Work is a horse.
The pace of life is another horse.
Social media anxiety is yet another.

Each of us is not riding just one horse —
we are trying to manage an entire herd.

So who are you right now?

Are you the frightened rider thrown off balance,
dragged by forces you cannot control?

Or are you the one who climbs back up,
grips the reins firmly,
and learns how to guide the horse?

True “good fortune” at the beginning of a year
is not praying for calm seas.

It is recognising that you possess
the strength to navigate the storm.

But this strength is not loud.
It is not about domination or aggression.

It is a deeper form of control:

Control over your time.
Control over your emotions.
Control over your choices.

Beyond the roles of parent, leader and son —
there must still be a self
that you hold firmly in your own hands.

That is the real rein.

The New Year is not only a season of celebration.
It is also a season of reclaiming.

Reclaiming scattered attention.
Reclaiming emotional clarity.
Reclaiming personal authority.

The horses will continue to run.
The world will not slow down.
The noise will not disappear.

But when you know how to hold the reins,
you are no longer thrown by every movement.

Because real power
is not controlling the world.

It is mastering yourself.

That is the true blessing for 2026.

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. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
