Kher Cheng Guan: Erratic Erudite

Q1: Who is Kher Cheng Guan in a few words?

A curious seeker drawn to what makes life tick, from the mechanics of how things work to the wonders of magic that defy explanation. I explore both the ordinary and the extraordinary, always questioning, always learning.

Q2: What inspired you to start blogging?

To explore what often goes unnoticed, the quiet questions, fleeting thoughts, and patterns beneath the noise. Writing leads me to unexpected places. Sometimes the dots connect, sometimes they collide, but each experience reveals its own mystery.

Q3: You run three blogs — what’s the difference between them?

Life Answers FAQ – Introspection, personal growth, and answers to life’s deeper questions.
DiGiztal – A tech blog for beginners and non-techies.
Info Ruckus – The magic of phenomenon and mystery.

Q4: Why do you use the Q&A format in this Life Answers FAQ?

Because life rarely offers neat narratives, just like life itself, we live through questions and answers. This format mirrors how we think, believe and live.

Q5: What’s one lesson Kher Cheng Guan believe everyone should learn early in life?

That certainty can be misleading. What we call “truth” might just be a temporary perspective. Like water in your hand, the tighter you grip it, the more it slips away. As Socrates said, “I know that I know nothing.”

Q6: What makes your content different from most self-help sites?

Most self-help offers fixed formulas. Life Answers FAQ doesn’t. I’m not here to fix anyone, including myself. I share thoughts, questions, contradictions without needing to tie everything into a perfect bow. Live and let live, reflect and let evolve

Q7: Why does Life Answers FAQ challenge common self-help clichés?

Because life isn’t simple and neither are we. Behind every “just do this” lies contradiction, nuance, and lived reality. I don’t dismiss advice, but I do slow down and ask, “Is this always true?” Sometimes, deeper questions matter more than quick fixes.

Q8: Do you criticize self-help authors?

Not at all. I read their work and I respect what they bring. If anything, I confront, not criticize. I hold space for their ideas while questioning them honestly. Let them say their piece; I listen, reflect, and sometimes ask what’s missing. As Socrates said, “I know that I know nothing.” That humility drives my writing.

Q9:If their advice works, why not just follow it?

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don’t. I know what can be done, but knowing and doing aren’t always the same. That gap between knowledge and action is real, and very human. This blog lives in that space, in the tension, not the certainty.

Q10:If you were to write a self-help book, what would it be like?

Honestly, it might look a lot like the others. Clearly structured, with actionable steps. That’s what readers expect: clarity, closure, and the comfort of having a solution. And that’s what sells.

Q11:Aren’t you contradicting yourself sometimes?

Yes, and I’m okay with that. Life is full of contradictions. Growth isn’t linear, and truth often depends on timing, context, or emotional state. I don’t aim for perfect consistency. I aim for honest reflection.

Q12: What kind of readers do you write for?

The quietly curious. People who aren’t satisfied with surface answers — the thinkers, skeptics, seekers, and lifelong learners.

Q13: What’s your writing process like?

It often begins with a question, a contradiction, a paradox or an irony. I reflect it, write, and rework until it I find rework until it finds its way out of my system.

Q14: Is Kher Cheng Guan active on social media?

Not as much as you’d expect. I prefer slow thinking over fast scrolling. My blogs are where the real conversation happens.

Q15: What’s your biggest hope for your readers?

.Not closure, but curiosity. Maybe a pause. A shift in perspective. A moment that lingers. If something quietly stays with you after reading, that’s enough.

Q16: Any final words to describe yourself?

A quiet dreamer who believes in the everyday kind of magic, anything that excites our senses. I think out loud, but write it down softly. As Roald Dahl wrote:

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it
