Background and education[edit]
Childhood[edit]
Khoo was born Adam Khoo Yean Ann on 8 April 1974, to Vince Khoo and Betty L. Khoo-Kingsley. At age eight, Khoo was expelled from St Stephen\'s Primary School[2] for misbehavior, partly due to poor academic results.[3] His parents hunted for a primary school willing to accept him and finally found Ngee Ann Primary School.[2] Due to his poor results at the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), he did not qualify to enter any of the six secondary schools his parents had chosen.[3] He eventually enrolled in a government school, Ping Yi Secondary School, where he passed only five out of eight academic subjects[3] and finished 156th out of 160 Secondary 1 Express Stream students.[4][2]
Khoo\'s parents and teachers described him back then as capable but lazy, indifferent and addicted to television.[2][5] He described himself as being totally uninterested in learning (he was frustrated as he felt he could not learn),[5] extremely unmotivated,[6] physically weak and mentally lethargic.[3] His stepsister was a straight-As student in the Gifted Education Programme at Raffles Girls\' School[2] while cousins from his close-knit extended family were from the best schools in Singapore.[3] He had poor social skills,[3] did not enjoy reading anything but comics[6] and was addicted to arcade games and TV programs.[3] He tried to join the Scout Movement, but was thrown out six months later for not passing the basic qualifying test, the \'Scout Standard\', as he did not bother to try.[3]
Turning point in education[edit]
In 1987, when Khoo was 13, his parents enrolled their \'under-achiever\' son for a five-day residential program at Ladyhill Hotel called Super-Teen Camp.[4][2][7] The man responsible for spotting Khoo\'s \'gifted talent\' in Super-Teen was Dr. Ernest Wong, founder, principal consultant and master teacher of Ernesco, the Centre for Motivational Language Learning based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia[7] (the Super-Teen Camp is now under Learning Mastery Pte. Ltd.) Dr. Wong\'s teaching tools incorporated and adapted an American-developed learning technology called neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), as well as whole-brain learning.[7] This was the beginning of Khoo\'s interest and journey in mastering motivational techniques,[7] which formed the foundation of many of his books and seminars.

Career[edit]
At age 15, Khoo was devouring books on Warren Buffett\'s investment techniques.[6] While still in secondary school, he formed a mobile disco company with his friends, using his grandmother\'s house to re-create a disco and charged teenagers who attended a fee. He even took over the job of the DJ that he hired, after studying him.[2] At 16, he began investing most of his time and money to read and undergo training sessions in NLP[7] in the United States. At 17, he became a freelance motivational trainer by visiting schools in Singapore, making the bold proposition of turning the worst students around for no charge in the beginning. Eventually, he started charging S$25 per student for half a day\'s training.[6]
After completing National Service in the Republic of Singapore Air Force at age 21, Khoo went into partnership with three NUS friends and registered an event management company, Creatsoul Entertainment.[5] The company organised hops, jams and other entertainment activities[2] for clients like individuals, companies and organisations at NUS and Nanyang Technological University (NTU).[5] This was later re-registered as Event Gurus Pte Ltd, an event management company.
At 23, Khoo obtained his licence in NLP in Seattle, Washington.[7] At 24, he became a trainer at SuperTeen,[4] conducting courses for organisations like the Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC), Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP), Nanyang Girls\' High School and the Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) in Jakarta.[5] At 25, Khoo was coaching top insurance agents and marketing managers twice his age on how to boost sales.[4] At this time, his father, Vince Khoo, who owned the advertising agency Adcom, bought out all partners and offered the younger Khoo the opportunity to run it.[4] Within three months, he turned it around from making losses in 1998–1999 to clinching a pitching rate of 80 percent[4] with the first monthly profit, and went on to increase margins by 30%.[8] Their clients have included AIA, Dumex, Mobil (lost during the Exxonmerger), Phillip Wain slimming centres, Sobe Fresh Soya Milk, Tabasco, Heinz, Sinsin, Night Safari, Singapore and MobileOne (M1).[4][9]
At 26, Khoo earned his first million, from giving motivational training at schools and companies (the most lucrative, earning him up to S$1000 an hour), his entertainment company and shrewd investments in equities, unit trusts and property.[2]

The Game of Life and How to Play It, published in 1925, teaches the philosophies of its author, Florence Scovel Shinn. The book holds that ignorance of, or carelessness with the application of various \'Laws of Metaphysics\' (see below) can bring about undesirable life events.
Spiritual concepts discussed in the book[edit]
Some of the Spiritual ideas Shinn explains in the book:
- The Law of Expectancy: Shinn emphasizes the power of the imagination to bring about life events: \'Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out in minutest detail.\'[1]
- The power of words: \'Jesus Christ taught that man\'s words played a leading part in the game of life. \'By your words ye are justified and by your words ye are condemned\'.' [Matthew 12:37][1]
- The Divine Pattern and Intuition: Shinn says that one must always ask for the \'right\' circumstance, or the \'Divine selection,\' and not to ask for specifics.[1]
- The Law of Substitution: According to Florence Scovel Shinn, sometimes our desires are misdirected: \'Many people are in ignorance of their true destinies and are striving for things and situations which do not belong to them, and would only bring failure and dissatisfaction if attained.\'[1]
- The Law of Karma: the Law of Karma is also known as the Law of Cause and Effect: \'Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.\' This means that whatever man sends out in word or deed, will return to him; what he gives, he will receive.[1]
- The Law of Non Resistance: The Law of Non Resistance may be considered a sensible corollary to the Law of Karma, i.e. do not react to a negative situation with more negativity, as that will bring back more harm down the track.
- The Law of Forgiveness: Though Karma is a powerful law, Shinn explains that the Law of Forgiveness or Grace is a higher law. \'Christianity is founded upon the law of forgiveness - Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Karmic law, and the Christ within each man is his Redeemer and Salvation from all inharmonious conditions.\'[1]
- The Law of Use: Shinn explains that a gift is a better investment than a savings account. \'Many people are in ignorance of the fact that gifts and things are investments, and that hoarding and saving invariably lead to loss.\'[1]
- The Law of Love: Shinn quotes Jesus when she explains the importance of love. \'Every man on this planet is taking his initiation in love. \'A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another.\'[1]
Influences[edit]
Scovel Shinn\'s writing shares some common beliefs with Mary Baker Eddy, and there is some shared terminology. e.g. \'Infinite Spirit\', \'Mortal Mind\', \'Treatment\', \'Demonstration\' and \'Native Nothingness\'. However her writing style is more familiar and less verbose than that of Mary Baker Eddy. As in Christian Science, Florence Scovel Shinn questions the reality of evil: \'Jesus Christ said: \'Resist not evil,\' for He knew in reality, there is no evil, therefore nothing to resist.[1]
Also Scovel Shinn makes less of the illusion of matter, an argument that dominates Mary Baker Eddy\'s work Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures. Scovel Shinn\'s emphasis on the power of the spoken word may have been influenced by Emma Curtis Hopkins.
Florence Scovel\'s books are widely discussed and admired in Unity Churches around the globe.
Books and writing[edit]
Unable to find a publisher for The Game of Life and How to Play It she published it herself in 1925. \'Your Word is Your Wand\' was published in 1928 and The Secret Door to Success was published in 1940 shortly before her death on October 17, 1940. The Power of the Spoken Word is a compendium of her notes, gathered by a student and published posthumously in 1945.
In 2014, \'Your Word Is Your Wand\' was released as an audiobook. The publisher was Hillary Hawkins Production LLC. The Game of Life and How To Play It audiobook was released in 2010 and again in 2015.

- The Law of Non Resistance: The Law of Non Resistance may be considered a sensible corollary to the Law of Karma, i.e. do not react to a negative situation with more negativity, as that will bring back more harm down the track.
- The Law of Forgiveness: Though Karma is a powerful law, Shinn explains that the Law of Forgiveness or Grace is a higher law. \'Christianity is founded upon the law of forgiveness - Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Karmic law, and the Christ within each man is his Redeemer and Salvation from all inharmonious conditions.\'[1]
- The Law of Use: Shinn explains that a gift is a better investment than a savings account. \'Many people are in ignorance of the fact that gifts and things are investments, and that hoarding and saving invariably lead to loss.\'[1]
- The Law of Love: Shinn quotes Jesus when she explains the importance of love. \'Every man on this planet is taking his initiation in love. \'A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another.\'[1]
Influences[edit]
Scovel Shinn\'s writing shares some common beliefs with Mary Baker Eddy, and there is some shared terminology. e.g. \'Infinite Spirit\', \'Mortal Mind\', \'Treatment\', \'Demonstration\' and \'Native Nothingness\'. However her writing style is more familiar and less verbose than that of Mary Baker Eddy. As in Christian Science, Florence Scovel Shinn questions the reality of evil: \'Jesus Christ said: \'Resist not evil,\' for He knew in reality, there is no evil, therefore nothing to resist.[1]
Also Scovel Shinn makes less of the illusion of matter, an argument that dominates Mary Baker Eddy\'s work Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures. Scovel Shinn\'s emphasis on the power of the spoken word may have been influenced by Emma Curtis Hopkins.
Florence Scovel\'s books are widely discussed and admired in Unity Churches around the globe.
Books and writing[edit]
Unable to find a publisher for The Game of Life and How to Play It she published it herself in 1925. \'Your Word is Your Wand\' was published in 1928 and The Secret Door to Success was published in 1940 shortly before her death on October 17, 1940. The Power of the Spoken Word is a compendium of her notes, gathered by a student and published posthumously in 1945.
In 2014, \'Your Word Is Your Wand\' was released as an audiobook. The publisher was Hillary Hawkins Production LLC. The Game of Life and How To Play It audiobook was released in 2010 and again in 2015.
