Yijing not a Book of Answers but a book of Movement

Many people say in life, “You cannot have your cake and eat it.”
Meaning: you must choose. Either A or B.

But the deeper wisdom of Yin and Yang tells us something more subtle.
Life is rarely about choosing only one side.

In reality, both Yin and Yang always exist together.
But they are never frozen at exactly 50–50.

If Yin and Yang were always perfectly equal, life would become static.
Nothing would change. Nothing would evolve.
The world would be predictable — and frankly, boring.

Instead, the universe works differently.
Sometimes Yin rises and Yang retreats.
Sometimes Yang expands and Yin withdraws.

Winter gives way to spring.
Action gives way to rest.
Success gives way to humility.
Strength gives way to softness.

The secret is not perfect balance.
The secret is constant movement toward balance.

Yin and Yang are always adjusting, correcting, and responding to each other.

That is why the Yijing describes reality as a system of changing patterns, not fixed states.

In life, this means:
• When you push too hard, Yin reminds you to slow down.
• When you stay passive too long, Yang pushes you to act.
• When success grows, humility must grow with it.
• When difficulty comes, resilience must rise.

The wisdom is not to freeze life into a perfect formula.
The wisdom is to flow with the changing proportions of Yin and Yang.
That is what keeps life dynamic.
That is what makes growth possible.

And that is why the Yijing is not a book of answers: it is a book of movement.
Because life itself is movement.

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.

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...
