Don't Start Wrong at the Beginning

Why Do So Many People Start Life “Wrong” from the Beginning?

Most people think Yijing is about fortune telling.

But at a deeper level, Yijing is actually about this:

👉 How you begin determines where you end up.

In the famous opening of the Qian Hexagram, Yijing speaks of four words:

Yuan 元 · Heng 亨 · Li 利 · Zhen 贞

These are not just ancient Chinese words.

They are four stages of life, leadership, and success.

Yuan 元 — Return to the Essence

Most people start from problems, emotions, and appearances.

Yijing teaches:

👉 Start from the essence.

The real question is not:
“What happened?”

But:
“What is truly at the heart of this situation?”

Heng 亨 — Move with Flow

Many people work harder and harder… yet life becomes more difficult.

Why?

👉 Because effort without alignment creates friction.

Wise people understand:

timing
direction
when to move
and when not to move

Li 利 — Create Value

True success is not about winning alone.

👉 It is about creating benefit for all involved.

“Li” is not selfish profit.

It is sustainable value.

Zhen 贞 — Stay True

Many people today are intelligent…
but unstable.

They change with pressure.
They compromise with temptation.

Yijing reminds us:

👉 Real success requires integrity.

The people who last are the people who stay true.

So Why Do People Understand Wisdom… Yet Still Struggle?

Because knowledge alone is not enough.

What is missing is:

👉 Love Intelligence (LQ)

LQ is not about romance.

LQ is about having the:

Care
Courage
and Connection

to lead humans wisely.

LQ helps us:

see the essence (Yuan)
move with courage and timing (Heng)
create win-win value (Li)
and stay grounded in principles (Zhen)

One Final Thought

Yijing gives you direction.

Love Intelligence gives you humanity.

One helps you understand change.
The other helps you remain human while navigating it.

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...
