Why do I write this article?
I recently turned 31, and on my birthdays, it always feels like the right time to reflect on my life and gain better clarity.
This time, I created three general and simple life principles that work for me, and I thought I’d share them with you, too.
Three Simple Life Principles That Work for Me
1. Life, like success, is a journey, not a destination. So enjoy the ride. The reward is not in what we get; it’s in what we become.
2. Consistency, like assiduity/persistency, is key to compounding, be it in relationships or wealth.
3. Luck matters, but its what we do that counts. Choose what we think and do wisely because our actions create our destiny.
A quote from one of my favourite actors
“Without commitment, you’ll never start. But more importantly, without consistency, you’ll never finish.” – Denzel Washington

I have also been invited to serve as a mentor or speaker at brokerage houses, institutions, and radio stations such as CGS-CIMB, the NTU Singapore Financial Conference, SMU IIE, NUS Invest, Seedly TV, and Money FM 89.3.
