Morals C. Seeking sameness in differences .  6. One grows into two, two combine to become one, this is Yin Yang from Taiji. One is two, and two is one. One grows into 2, not one divides into 2.  7.

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

People often said, Andy, you work too hard.  Actually I don't work hard, I work heart.  The Power of Heart-Centered Work by Andy Ng 1. Work Heart, not just Work Hard Work, for many, is an integral part of life. It's where we spend a significant portion of our time, striving to achieve our goals, make a living, and contribute to society.

Overview of the 64 Hexagrams Teachings (by Andy Ng) Yijing 64 hexagrams are made up of six lines, which can be either solid Yang or broken Yin lines, and each hexagram has a specific name and meaning. Each hexagram is associated with a specific concept, such as change, difficulty, uncertainty, etc. The hexagrams are arranged in a specific order, and their meanings are said to evolve and change as one progresses through the sequence. The 64 hexagrams could represent your life. The key concepts associated with the hexagrams and their teachings include: 1. Start from inside. Each hexagram is read from the below trigram, which represents you and your subjective inner world, to the upper trigram, which means the objective outer world. This means that one should always look inside first in solving problems. People often look outside before examining themselves in solving problems, and this method causes more problems. Yijing is teaching us to be efficient: look internally first. 2. Chan

Self-leadership is the process of taking responsibility for one's personal growth, development, and well-being. It involves setting personal goals, creating a vision for one's life, and actively managing one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to achieve those goals. Self-leadership requires self-awareness, self-motivation, and self-discipline. The Yijing, also known as the Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese text that is based on the concept of yin and yang. Yin and yang represent complementary, yet opposing, forces that are present in all aspects of life. Yin is associated with darkness, femininity, and passivity, while yang is associated with light, masculinity, and activity. In the context of self-leadership, the Yijing can be a helpful tool for understanding the balance between yin and yang energies in oneself. By recognizing and embracing both aspects, individuals can achieve a state of equilibrium and maximize their personal effectiveness. For example, someone who
