A Father's Wisdom: Life Lessons for My Children (2014-2016)

My heart overflows with joy! 2014 brought the blessing of my son, and 2016 welcomed my beautiful daughter into the world. Words can't express how proud and happy I am to be your father. More than any material possession, I want to leave you with something far more valuable: wisdom.

While I hope to share some investment principles with you, remember the greatest gift of all comes from God and Jesus Christ. It is through Him that your mother, I, and you have the promise of eternal life. Never forget Him, for generations to come.

Understanding Money: A Tool, Not a Measure of Worth

Money itself isn't evil. It's a tool, originally designed to facilitate the exchange of goods and services. Unfortunately, over time, its purpose has become distorted. Today, people often equate wealth with worth, measuring a person's value by their financial resources.

While money isn't the most important thing in life, it's undeniably essential in our modern world. It provides access to food, education, and even safety. I want you to understand its true value and learn how to manage it wisely.

The Greatest Inheritance: The Ability to Earn

I know that whatever material wealth I leave you will eventually be depleted if you don't know how to earn it yourselves. And the same goes for your children. The most valuable inheritance I can give you is the knowledge and skills to create your own wealth. This is a lesson the Jewish community understands well: what's in your mind is yours, and no one can take it away.

Embracing Challenges: Opportunities for Growth

Life isn't always fair. Some people inherit fortunes, while others have less. But God is fair in one crucial way: He gives everyone the same amount of time. And everyone, regardless of their background, has to learn and grow. If you face difficulties, don't despair. You have the time and the power to overcome them.

Think of Singapore's water scarcity. Instead of complaining, we innovated and created NEWater. Challenges are opportunities in disguise. They give you a target to aim for. Don't waste time complaining; focus on finding solutions and working hard to achieve them.

Investment: Knowledge and Action

Investment can be learned, but knowledge without action is useless. You can't just sit back and expect results. You have to take initiative.

Passing on the Torch

I want to teach you the true meaning of investment so that you can understand it deeply and adapt it to your own circumstances. The information I'm sharing today might even be outdated by the time you're older. The world is constantly changing, and you need to be able to think critically and make your own informed decisions. My goal is to equip you with the tools you need to navigate the future successfully.

The Perils of Blind Trust: Navigating the Complexities of Estate Planning - 2025-02-27

The headlines grabbed my attention: a wealthy individual, with an eccentric vision, drafted a will that would delay the distribution of his fortune for a century. Intriguing, right? But the devil, as always, was in the details. The news casually mentioned that the lawyer entrusted with this bizarre mandate had sold off the properties and deposited the proceeds into a bank account. That, to me, was a glaring red flag. Imagine the lost potential. Real estate, especially in prime locations, tends to appreciate significantly over time. By liquidating these assets and placing the money in a bank, the descendants were robbed of substantial long-term gains. Inflation alone would erode the value of that cash over a century. This case serves as a stark reminder: even with the best intentions, poorly executed estate plans can lead to devastating financial losses. Contrast this with the story of an Arab trader whose opulent Orchard Road residence was transformed into a rental property. The asset ...

The Simple Yet Powerful Rule of Input and Output - 2025-03-09

There's a fundamental rule that applies to many areas of life: if you want to gain more, your input must be greater than your output. If you want to reduce something, your output should exceed your input. This principle is easy to understand and can be applied to a wide range of situations: 1. Weight Management If you want to lose weight, you need to burn more calories (output) than you consume (input). This means eating less, exercising more, or both. However, be mindful of health conditions like low blood sugar—always consult a doctor before making drastic changes. 2. Wealth Accumulation If you want to grow your wealth, you must earn more than you spend. Even if you make millions, spending billions will leave you broke. Smart financial management follows the input-output rule—save and invest wisely! The Classic Water Tank Problem - from your Primary 5 math olympia This rule even applies to math! Consider a water tank being filled by a pipe that takes 18 hours to fill it complete...

The Unexpected Rise of a Chicken Rice Champion - 2021-12-12

Remember that tale I shared with my boy about the Hainanese Chicken Rice? It wasn't just a food story; it was a lesson in ambition and relentless improvement. A reporter had interviewed a stall owner, a non-Hainanese, who served up incredible Hainan chicken rice. How did he learn the craft? Simple: he observed. His shop sat right beside an Hainanese Chicken Rice vendor. Day in and day out, he watched, absorbed, and learned.  The original stall, sadly, struggled, eventually leading the owner to throw in the towel. But our protagonist? He seized the opportunity. He took over the stall, and here's the kicker: he didn't just replicate the recipe. He perfected it. His chicken rice became a sensation, eclipsing the original and drawing crowds.  This story is a powerful reflection of life. How often do we possess potential, yet fail to fully realize it? We settle, we stagnate, while others, perhaps less experienced, surpass us through sheer dedication and a drive for constant imp...
