  • Outdated misogynistic views from a gender studies professor

    The host projects her desperation on single women, as if all women should ever aspire to is marriage, and those who aren’t had better resort to astrology and superstition. Her paper on leftover women covered subjects between the age of 26-34…hardly leftover!

How I Ching Can Change Your Life | Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times with Eric Tang: 14-Year Disciple of Master Michael So
Q: So, Eric, I want to ask you, so I Ching means the Book of Change in English, right?
Yes, it is the Book of Change and serves as a practical framework that uses cycles of time, place, and people to guide decisions rather than a simple superstition.
From 10 Years Corporate to Full-time Artist | Angela Huang Designing Her Creative Life
Q: What's the difference between corporate life and being an artist, and how do you handle the day-to-day uncertainties?
Corporate life is highly structured, while art involves constant uncertainty and projects without guaranteed outcomes; she emphasizes adaptability and the need to work through challenges without a monthly paycheck.
From 10 Years Corporate to Full-time Artist | Angela Huang Designing Her Creative Life
Q: How did you decide to go for it? Was there a turning point or something that motivated you or gave you the courage?
The move was gradual and rooted in the fear of regret rather than a sudden impulse; after many years, she realized she could not ignore her passion any longer and chose to pursue art despite the risks.
From 10 Years Corporate to Full-time Artist | Angela Huang Designing Her Creative Life
Q: Okay. So let's start by telling us a little bit about your background. Were you always studying art when you grew up?
Angela describes studying art and economics in college, then spending almost a decade in corporate consulting before deciding to switch to art full-time, driven by a persistent creative pull and a desire to pursue a serious, narrative-driven body of work.
Single, Successful & Hopeful in Your 40s | Rosita’s Journey to Finding the Right Partner

Her career has spanned finance, real estate, and now public sector work with the Canadian government, with a focus on business development and relationship-building.
