The first definition from dictionary defines legacy narrowly as money and properties left behind...
I learn very early in my career that legacy has another meaning...
much more meaningful that $$ and properties.
I'm sure you felt this too.

1. Regular exercise... 3-5 times a week. Swimming, jogging, brisk walking. Yoga, Cycling
2. Pick up wushu - Taichi and qigong is especially good. The energy generation and qi movement will clear the blocked qi.
When one practises taichi, one needs to focus... so the concentration and memory always stays.
3. Learn to use natural herbs. e.g. Sweet potato and pumpkin. For liver cleansing, use parsely.
4. Find a good TCM LOCAL practitioner - Such as the one in Thomson Imperial Court (JI SHENG TANG), next to thomson CC.
e.g. my oily scalp problem... - $24 for 2 bags of herbs last me 6 mths. And I can keep the medicine prescription...
Hi, i can attest to your recommendation of learning TAI CHI +CHI KUNG.
i had learned only for a few months. And the first time the CHI came, i could not control it as i was practising at home. It was quite scary to us then. i think i was in my late 30s. My wife had to phone the instructor how to "control" the CHI that was flowing inside my body. And the CHI made me lost control over my limbs' movements.
i like to take up TAI CHI again as i am retired oldman.
Any recommendation where to learn properly from a qualified TAI CHI + CHI KUNG Instuctor?

I'm pretty surprised at the stats- I knew CPF was useless but I didn't think it was that useless. Or it is possibly because most people's CPF monies would have been spent on housing?
Also that 60% of the income that retired folks get come from their kids gives some weight to a discussion that I had with an academic yesterday. His view was that we need a welfare state because the current generation of working adults is being squeezed on two fronts- providing for the earlier generation (their parents) as well as the next generation (their kids). And because the only front they can "control" is whether to have kids or not, that's why many in the current working group have less kids or not at all. Or they move.

It maybe better to invest your time & $$$ in create a passive income instead of raising kids.
1) Interestingly Steve Jobs said the same thing when he was interviewed along with Bill Gates and Gates was asked why he went into philantrophy... Steve injected and said that certainly he doesn't want to be remembered as the richest man in the cemetry
2) Your sentiments is echoed globally. I always believe that the urbanisation is the best contraceptive. If you urbanise the Indians I am sure their birth rate will decline
China doesn't even need to have a 1 child policy in the cities to be honest.
But like the paradox of thrift, the paradox here is that if everyone thinks the same, then humans are going the way of the dodo bird... Exagerrating? The Japanese will be gone by end this century and the whites probably century after.
