Dr.
Jeffrey C. K. Lim,
Alpha Guide-in-Chief, has an uncanny knack for taking often
complicated concepts and ideas, and breaking them down to
bite-sized chucks, and making such chunks understandable to a

scratch, which is summarized by his famous guiding quotation:
“The Secret of the How’s is actually in the Why’s”.
