Become a BEACON of LIGHT.

WALK the PATH.

INSPIRE Myself and Others.

PHILOSOPHY

As of 30 Sept 2020, I have moved on from full-time tuition to pursue other interests, in business and data analytics.

I still provide Mathematics tuition/ homework coaching services on a part-time basis. Drop me a private message here to learn more.

BECOME A BEACON OF LIGHT: I consider myself an experimenter in life. Living slightly outside the comfort zone; learning new knowledge, seeking new experiences, and challenging the fear of missing out (FOMO), and the fear of failure.

WALK THE PATH: Never stand still. I chanced upon Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N Goenka following the teachings of Sayagyi U Ba Khim. I took a leap of faith in joining their most elementary course - a 10-day silent meditation retreat, and never looked back since.

INSPIRE myself and others: Join me on this journey to live, learn and love so that we may become truly happy and fulfilled. In turn, this inner bliss motivates us to be the best versions of ourselves in our contributions to the people around us and ultimately, the world.

Through my life's journey, may the narration of my trials and tribulations inspire you to design and live your best life yet.

It is absolutely possible to have an amazing life; be successful on your own terms and be extremely happy and fulfilled. :)

May ALL beings be HAPPY!

With Metta,

Barbara Yam

I was early taught to work as well as play,
My life has been one long, happy holiday;
Full of work and full of play -
I dropped the worry on the way -
And God was good to me every day.
Rumi, 13th Century Philosopher
When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress and anxiety, if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this, I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret for anyone who can grasp it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.
Steve Jobs
You cannot connect the dots looking forward.

You can only connect the dots looking backwards.
Alan Watts
Forget the money, because if you say that getting money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living. That is to go on doing things you don't like doing, which is stupid. Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.
John D. Rockefeller
God gave me my money. I believe the power to make money is a gift from God . to be developed and used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind. Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money and still more money and to use the money I make for the good of my fellow man according to the dictates of my conscience.
