Hyflux and Education

A little girl from a kampong in Malaysia asked her teacher one day why there are poor people as well as rich ones and what is the difference between them. The teacher told her that difference lies in education. Education is probably the most directly way to abundance. From then on this orphan girl worked very hard in her studies as she wanted to give her adoptive grandmother a good life and be freed from their poverty-stricken days. This little girl's effort paid off and she is now the CEO of Hyflux, a big company in Singapore dealing with water cleaning. The Daoists believe that our life is made up of ten main aspects and our life can be improved through manipulation of some of them. The first five of the ten are fate, luck, fengshui (geomancy), good karma accumulation and education. While the first two are not within our control, the rest definitely are. And in the example above, we see the importance of education in improving our's life.

Saw Lilian Too

I was walking past Hyatt Hotel yesterday evening when I noticed two Tibetan monks standing outside the hotel lobby. So naturally I tried to check out who is showing these monks around. And lo, behold! It's Lilian Too, the world's best selling author on Feng Shui! Pity I didn't muster enough courage to walk up and say hi. Later I went back to Hyatt Hotel's lobby to wait for my wife but didn't see Lilian Too again. Probably because I don't know how to introduce myself to her and also the monks. How do you greet someone in Tibetan language? Or maybe they understand Mandarin? Hmm...I've been studying Feng Shui intensely for the past few months. And have read all the Lilian Too's books I can get my hands on. I think I am at the intermediate level and good enough to give advice to people on Feng Shui already. Hehehe... Learned Feng Shui many years ago from my Daoist teacher but I didn't take it seriously since I was very young back then. So, in a way I am not new to Feng Shui, thus making my recent study very much a breeze...
