Business and Money Tips

Win Hearts, So You Don’t Have to Fight for Control This is not just a nice sentence. It is a strategy. It is what The Art of War teaches at the highest level. And it is what I expanded in my book Win Without Fighting with Sun Tzu Art of War . Most people are living the opposite way. They try to control: Control outcomes Control people Control situations They push harder. They argue more. They convince, persuade, and sometimes… manipulate. And they get tired. Because control creates resistance. There Is Another Way When you win hearts, everything changes. People cooperate without being forced. Clients buy without being pushed. Teams move without being driven. This is not weakness. This is power without friction. And this is where Love Intelligence (LQ) comes in. LQ Is the Missing Link LQ is not about being nice. It is about mastering: Care. Courage. Connection. Care so people feel valued, not used Courage so you act with truth, not fear Connection ...

Stop Performing. Start Being. Famous songwriter Jonathan Lee once said something powerful. Among all the singers he has worked with, Wakin Chau is one who never performs. Think about that. A singer… who doesn’t perform. On stage, in front of thousands, he doesn’t try to impress. He doesn’t try to act. He simply sings. He is real. And because he is real, people feel it. That is why he connects. Now look at our own lives. How many of us are truly like that? At work, we perform. In meetings, we perform. In front of people, we perform. We say the “right” things. We act the “correct” way. We try to be impressive. But inside… we are tired. Because performing is exhausting. The more we try to impress, the further we drift away from who we really are. This is why SuperME matters. SuperME is not about becoming someone else. It is about becoming the best version of you: when you stop performing. When you are no longer trying to impress, something powerful happen...

You Are Not Conflicted — You Are Not Leading Have you ever felt this? You love someone… but you also want to control their time. You want to save money… but you keep overspending. And then you ask yourself, “What’s wrong with me?” Let me tell you something straight. Nothing is wrong with you. You are just not leading yourself. For many years, I thought discipline was the answer. If I could just be more focused, more controlled, more “right”… then my life would be stable. But it never worked. Because the more I controlled, the more I rebounded. The more I suppressed, the stronger the opposite side came back. Until I realised this from Yijing (I-Ching or the Book of Changes):  Yin and Yang are not in conflict. They are in movement. And if you don’t lead that movement, that movement will lead you. Your inner conflict is not a problem. It is a signal. Wanting to save and wanting to spend Wanting love and wanting freedom These are not contradictions. They ...

Stop Performing. Start Creating Real Value. Most people think they are saving money. They chase low prices… buy courses… attend talks… read books… But they don’t apply.

There’s one uncomfortable truth here: people don’t admire themselves because they’ve outsourced their sense of achievement. They see what AI can do in seconds… but they forget what they themselves have done over decades. Think about it. You navigated situations no algorithm could prepare you for. You got out of tight parking spaces with real risk, not simulation. You handled financial pressure when there was no “undo” button. You survived emotional storms that no machine can truly feel. And yet, when AI writes a paragraph or creates an image, people say “wow.” But when they rebuild their life quietly… no applause. That’s the imbalance. AI is impressive, yes. But AI has no courage. No responsibility. No consequences. You do. That’s why the real shift is this: Don’t just admire intelligence. Recognise lived intelligence. In your world, that’s LQ - Life Intelligence, or I called it, Love Intelligence.  Because what makes a person truly “ahead of AI” is not speed, not data, not perfect...

Love Intelligence is a practical and provocative guide to succeeding in a world where intelligence alone is no longer enough. The core idea is simple but powerful: Love Intelligence (LQ) defined through Care, Courage, and Connection (3Cs) is the missing link between intention and real-world results. While IQ helps you think and EQ helps you feel, LQ determines whether people trust you, follow you, and do business with you. The book argues that in an AI-driven world, where information is cheap and abundant, trust becomes the ultimate currency. And trust is built not through techniques, but through genuine care, the courage to act and speak truthfully, and the ability to create meaningful human connections. The author Andy Ng challenges the reader to rethink success: it is not about pushing harder, competing more, or mastering more tools. Instead, it is about aligning who you are with what you do. When LQ is applied, transactions become relationships, ideas turn into value, and value na...

Price is a distraction. Most people think they are being smart when they focus on price:  cheaper is better, discounts are attractive, low cost feels like a win. But look deeper. When something is cheap, we often don’t value it. We don’t use it fully. We forget about it. We waste it. And when something is expensive, we suddenly pay attention. We use it more. We respect it more. So what’s really going on? The truth is this: Price has very little to do with value. Because value is not in the thing,  value is in what we do with it. A simple example: A cheap meal can be priceless when you are hungry. An expensive meal can be worthless when you are full. So value is created by usage, not determined by price. Now here’s the part most people don’t realise: When you focus on price and ignore value, you are actually paying a very high price. Why? Because if you buy something cheap but don’t use it,  the value you get is close to zero. And when value is nea...

Let me ask you something uncomfortable. Right now… are you living your life— or performing it? Think about it. The way you speak in front of your boss… the way you behave with your team… the way you show up in social settings… Is that really you? Or is that a version of you: carefully edited, filtered, and controlled? Here’s the truth. Most people are not living. They are performing. And the scary part is… they don’t even realise it. More than 2,000 years ago, Zhuangzi already saw this. He told a story about a highly respected man. This man was flawless: perfect manners, perfect speech, perfect timing. Nobody could fault him. But when he met a wise master, the master shook his head and said: “This man is very good at being what others expect… but he does not know how to be himself.” Let that sink in. Not wrong. Not bad. Just… not real. Now fast forward to today. Look at our lives. In front of leaders, we become agreeable. In front of subordinates, we beco...

How Marketing Can Destroy a Business — and What Love Intelligence Has to Do With It Let me give you a real example. Look at Peloton . They didn’t just sell a bike. They sold a lifestyle: elite fitness, convenience, status. During COVID, their marketing was brilliant. Sales went up. Demand exploded. But here’s what happened next. When the world reopened, customers started asking a simple question: “Is this really worth it?” High price. Monthly subscription. Less usage. And slowly… the gap appeared. What was promised… versus what was experienced. That gap is dangerous. Because once trust drops, no amount of marketing can save you. This is where Love Intelligence (LQ) comes in. LQ is not soft. LQ is Care, Courage, and Connection. Care means you don’t oversell what you cannot sustain Courage means you tell the truth about your value Connection means you deliver an experience people actually feel Without LQ, marketing becomes manipulation. With LQ, marketing become...

你现在的样子， 到底是“你”，还是你演出来的？ 很多人一辈子都没有发现—— 自己其实一直在“演”。 在老板面前，小心翼翼。 对下属，威严十足。 在外面得体大方， 回到家，却沉默压抑。 我们把这叫成熟，叫高情商。 但两千多年前， 庄子 早就说过： 一个人如果每一句话、每一个表情， 都是设计出来的, 那他不是在活， 是在演。 问题是—— 你演得越好，活得越累。 你装得越完美，内心越孤独。 因为你已经忘了—— 真正的你是谁。 所以关键不是你会不会做人， 而是你敢不敢做自己。 这就是 爱的智慧 LQ ： 有关爱 Care ，你不再只在意别人怎么看 有勇气 Courage ，你敢不再表演 有链接 Connection ，你开始真实地活、真实地连接 而超级我  SuperME ， 就是那个不需要演的你。 人生不是一场表演。 当你不再需要演的那一刻—— 你才真正开始活。

Are you living your life, or performing it? The uncomfortable truth is this: most people are not living, they are acting. More than 2,000 years ago, Zhuangzi saw this clearly. He spoke of a man who behaved perfectly, flawless manners, flawless words. Yet he was not real. He was simply playing a role others would admire. Today, nothing has changed. We switch roles effortlessly. Polite in front of bosses. Authoritative with subordinates. Composed in public. Suppressed at home. We call this maturity. Some say this is  emotional intelligence. But deep inside, something is missing. The more perfect the performance,  the heavier the exhaustion. The more controlled the image,  the deeper the loneliness. Because acting disconnects us from ourselves. This is where SuperME and Love Intelligence (LQ) matter. LQ is not about being nice.  It is about being real with 3C: Care: to honour what truly matters, not what impresses others Courage: to stop performing and start showing up ...

LQ = 3C: The Moment I Truly Understood Care “When the world has LQ, we are living in heaven on earth.” It sounds like a nice statement. Until one moment makes it real. On Sunday, 19 April 2026, I was in a room of about 250 people. One speaker on stage shared something that stopped the room. He had been in the hospital for 9 months. Many of those weeks were spent in ICU. You could feel the silence. Not the polite kind. The kind where people are thinking, “I didn’t expect this.” After the talk ended, I did something simple. I walked up to him. I told him, “I didn’t know you went through so much.” He looked at me, and without any performance, just shared. After his wife passed away, he was deeply affected. The grief hit him hard. Then his health collapsed. He mentioned heart issues. And a few other illnesses. I have known him since 2007.  That’s almost 20 years. But in all those years, we had never really spoken. Not like this.  That shor...
