Testimonials
"It's such an admirable thing to see someone make all the effort to excavate the legacy of one's family. It is no easy feat and certainly not for the faint of heart. It takes thousands of hours of research, going out of one's comfort zone and pushing boundaries. Trees can only grow as tall as and as deep as their roots grow, so we too must dig deep into the legacies of our family's past so that we may go far into the future. This is personally so inspiring for me." - Datin Winnie Loo, CEO and Creative Director of A Cut Above and Partner of Brand Yourself
"Very inspirational book indeed! Not many of us are as lucky as Angeline to be able to reconnect with our roots, especially the chance to look back at what our ancestors, many generations before us, might have done and the hardships they went through to give us what we have today. This is definitely a Great Great Grandfather story that will inspire us in many ways." - Dr Lim Tingsong, Medical Director at Clique Clinic, Aesthetic Physician, Academician, Board Member of ISDS
'Wisdom of the Past' is a gem of a read for many reasons. Foremost is that it is a bridge between multiple generations exposing the fact that good values are timeless and have the power to shape nations. The author's painstaking research brings to life the hidden story between history and personal sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom and education for all." - Cecelia Alphonsus, PR & Publishing Consultant
"I was inspired every moment the narrative by Angeline on her encounter to trace her roots and family history. Good karma!
I truly enjoyed reading Angeline's book. Angeline's book is profoundly inspiring. It captures the spirit of Teh Lay Seng..an honest man sacrificing for his mother land, statesman and moral leader...and spurs us to look within ourselves, reconsider the things we take for granted and contemplate the legacy we'll leave behind. Thank you for sharing." - Sundra Lingam, Ipoh Heritage Walk, Ex-School Teacher
"There is a saying - History is the illumination of the soul and that is what this book is all about. Angie has enlightened us not only her great-great grandfather's past and humbled achievements, but has shown us the positive impact of leadership if executed with the right values, vision and vigor. We can all learn and embrace these learnings and apply them in our daily lives today. Well done, Angie!" - Himli Ali, Certified Marshall Goldsmith International Coach

“I'm amazed by how much efforts Angeline has put in to get all the info tracking back as far as from China about her great great grandfather to write this book! Enjoyed reading it because there is a good mixture of not only about the history but about her findings about it and as well the values that she highlighted for the readers to learn. Surely as I was reading before the chapter on leadership values, I can see that her great great grandfather is a super humble man that wants to help his own people and being courageous in fighting for the rights of the people and want to make things good and harmonious for everyone to live. Thanks for writing the book to bless many.”

“Self-reflection and self-revelation. Intended for light reading and easy absorption...very good; appealing to non-readers too.
In substance, I understood it as a journey you shared in developing your coaching model to help people who are going through some kind of emotional decision turmoil. I'd say this is an alternative to the ostracized methods of psychology and psychiatry. Chapter 8 delves into the method and I can see how coaching is necessary, as it requires time and commitment to think through for self-revelation. The book was an eye and mind opener. Thank you for sharing and Well Done, Angeline.”

“Thanks for sharing your eBook. These are my key takeaways from the book:
I find the book very relatable as I have always been in employment and found myself in similar situations mentioned in the book occasionally. It is definitely inspiring from what you have gone through to search within yourself on your purpose in life and proceeded to achieve what you have set out to do, which all of us need a little push, a little soul searching and acknowledgment of where we are and what we aspire to achieve. It is wonderful that you are sharing your insights to your great great grandfather's life story and your own experiences to help others now. Applying wisdom from the past to life's current troubles are so relevant!
The book is an easy read and could be put to practice easily, thanks again for sharing! ”
