The Biggest Myth About Public Speaking Many presentation and public speaking courses teach the same thing: A speaker must keep interacting with the audience. Ask questions. Get people to raise their hands. Make them clap. Get them to move around. And most importantly, make them laugh. These techniques certainly have their place. But are they really interaction? Think about radio for a moment. When you listen to a great radio DJ, there is no way to interact. You cannot raise your hand. You cannot answer their questions. You cannot clap. Yet somehow, you feel as if the DJ is speaking directly to you. Why? Because true interaction is not about what happens physically. True interaction is about what happens emotionally. A person can sit silently in a room and still be deeply engaged. A person can be clapping, laughing, and participating in activities, yet remain emotionally disconnected. This is where Love Intelligence (LQ) comes in. Many speakers focus on interaction techniques. But the ...

"No One Should Be Using AI Just for the Sake of Using It." That was the recent warning from Meta's Chief Technology Officer. And he is right. Today, many people proudly say they are using AI. They use AI agents to run errands for them. They use AI agents to creating marketing campaigns They use it to generate reports. But if we are honest, many are simply using AI because everyone else is using AI. Using AI alone does not create value. Just as owning a gym membership does not create fitness. Just as buying a piano does not create music. The real question is: What are you using AI for?  Whatever AI can do, it  cannot determine what truly matters to you. cannot decide what is right when values conflict. cannot build genuine trust between people. This is where Love Intelligence (LQ) becomes essential. LQ is the human capability to create trust, exercise judgment, and build meaningful connections. When AI is combined with LQ: AI provides speed.   LQ provides wisdom. AI p...

Hear My Prayers, Guan Yin Pusa If you walked past the Guan Yin Thong Hood Cho Temple at Waterloo Street during the late 1990s or early 2000s, you would have been swallowed by a sea of thick incense smoke, the rhythmic clattering of divination lots, and hundreds of devotees bowing in prayer. But if you looked closely at the altar, you would have seen a scene that is permanently seared into my memory. An elderly man in his late 70s, his body worn down by decades of grueling labor at the Chinatown stalls, was kneeling humbly on a red cushion. His hands were pressed tightly together, his eyes closed, and he was bowing his head vigorously before the statue of Guan Yin Pusa—the Goddess of Mercy.   That man was my father. Back then, nobody in the family asked him what he was praying so fervently for. We never asked if he was drawing divination lots, or what silent burdens he was laying down at the feet of the Pusa as he offered his flowers and fruits. We just watched him from a dista...

Service excellence is collapsing everywhere. Customers are more demanding, staff are overwhelmed, and complaints are rising. If your team is still relying on cold, rigid SOPs to handle tension, you are burning out your people and losing your customers. In a landscape of tighter budgets and lean teams, pressure isn't slowing down—it's increasing. Yet one truth remains completely unchanged: People will forget what you say, but they will never forget how you made them feel. Think about a standard frontline meltdown. A customer is shouting, a team member is getting defensive, and the entire atmosphere turns toxic. Traditional customer service training tells your staff to "follow the script." But scripts don't calm human anger, they infuriate it. When a Singapore healthcare frontline team faced skyrocketing friction, they threw out the rigid scripts and activated Love Intelligence (LQ) . By s hifting from "doing service" to truly being of service through hea...

Win Hearts, So You Don't Have to Fight for Control One of Sun Tzu's most powerful teachings is: “致人而不致于人” A simple translation is: Influence others to move according to your strategy, instead of being forced to move according to theirs. In today's world, many people understand the strategy but struggle with the execution. How do you influence without manipulation? How do you lead without force? How do you resolve conflict without creating enemies? Sun Tzu gives us the strategy. Love Intelligence (LQ) gives us the "how." Through the 3Cs of Care, Courage, and Connection: • Care reduces resistance. • Courage builds trust. • Connection creates alignment. When people feel understood, respected, and connected, they move willingly rather than reluctantly. That is 致人而不致于人 . That is Win Without Fighting . And in the AI era, where technology can automate tasks but cannot replace trust, this may be one of the most valuable leadership skills of all. If you want to learn more,...

Even Sam Altman Admits AI Can’t Replace the "Human Part" of Work! OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently reversed his grim predictions about a global "jobs apocalypse". His big realization? Tech predictions were right, but his economic intuitions were off because humans deeply care about interactions with other humans , which AI simply cannot replicate. While AI automates execution, the corporate world is realizing that technical skills are just the baseline. To protect your career, multiply your business profits, and thrive during this disruption, you need a different kind of edge: The LQ Edge (Love Intelligence). LQ focuses on exactly what Sam Altman says is irreplaceable: meaning, judgment, trust, and deep human connection. 🧠 The LQ Edge: Success Beyond IQ in the AI Age In this exclusive 1-hour masterclass, discover how to leverage LQ to command your field: The Irreplaceable Edge: Learn why cultivating trust and meaning protects you from tech displacement. The 3Cs ...

Note: This movie is the hottest and no. 1 in 2026 in China, HK, Taiwan, Malaysia etc.  It is not allowed to be screened in Singapore as it is 100% dialect.  The distributor is appealing now.  The movie Dear You 《给阿嬷的情书》became such a massive hit not simply because it is about family love. It touched something much deeper inside modern people: We are becoming more successful, yet we are forgetting how to truly love. When audiences watched the grandmother in Dear You , many were not thinking about the character on screen. They were thinking about their own mother, grandmother, or someone who once quietly loved them without conditions. Suddenly, people realize: The person who used to wait for us to come home… is growing old. And the “someday” we always assumed we had… may not always be there. That is why the movie created such emotional resonance worldwide. It is not really about the storyline. It is about awakening the human heart. And that is exactly what my...

电影《给阿嬷的情书》之所以能够大卖，甚至让很多人在电影院哭到停不下来，不只是因为“亲情”。 而是因为它击中了现代人内心最深的一种痛： 我们越来越成功， 却越来越没有好好爱人。 很多人看到阿嬷，想到的不是电影里的角色， 而是自己的妈妈、奶奶、外婆。 很多人突然发现： 小时候那个一直等你回家的人， 如今已经老了。 而你以为“以后还有时间”， 其实时间正在消失。 这就是为什么这部电影会形成巨大共鸣。 因为它不是在讲剧情， 它是在唤醒人的“心”。 而这，正是《爱的智慧》一直在谈的东西。 《爱的智慧》不是教人浪漫。 它讲的是： 人在关系里，是否还有“感受能力”。 很多人IQ很高，EQ也不错， 但LQ（Love Intelligence 爱的智慧）很低。 什么意思？ 就是： 知道怎么赚钱， 却不知道怎么陪伴。 知道怎么分析， 却不知道怎么理解。 知道怎么讲话， 却不知道怎么让人感受到爱。 《给阿嬷的情书》最厉害的地方， 是它没有讲大道理。 它只是让你看到： 真正重要的人， 往往是那个最容易被忽略的人。 这和《爱的智慧》的3C核心完全一致： Care（关心） 很多时候，爱不是大事，而是小小的在意。 Courage（勇气） 很多人不是没有爱，而是没有勇气表达爱。 Connection（连接） 人真正的幸福，不是拥有多少，而是和谁真正连接。 为什么这种电影在AI时代特别容易爆红？ 因为现代社会越来越“有效率”， 却越来越缺“温度”。 AI可以帮你写信、剪片、分析数据， 但AI无法真正替你陪阿嬷吃一顿饭。 未来最贵的东西， 不是科技， 而是“真实的人味”。 所以《给阿嬷的情书》的爆红，其实在告诉整个社会： 人开始渴望回到“心”的世界。 而《爱的智慧》想做的， 正是帮助人们在这个越来越像机器的时代， 重新学会： 如何去爱、去感受、去连接。 <给阿嬷的情书>还未在新加坡上映

If this is only about “monetizing your voice,” it easily becomes a discussion about techniques. But the real power is not in your voice. It is in who you are. What truly gets monetized is not your voice, but your SuperME. Many people try to earn through speaking. So they learn presentation skills, storytelling, content frameworks. But here’s the problem:  when you don’t know who you are, every skill just makes you sound more like someone else. You may imitate for a while, but you cannot pretend forever. That’s why you see this pattern: some people speak well, yet fade away; others are imperfect, yet grow stronger over time. The difference is simple:  one is performing, the other is becoming. SuperME is not about becoming better. It’s about becoming real. When you live from your SuperME: You don’t need to force persuasion, because your presence already carries weight. You don’t need to package yourself, because your life is already your best content. You do...

The Code That Cannot Be Copied:  The Ghost in the Machine If my father were standing in our Chinatown shop today in May 2026, staring at the glowing smartphone screens that dictate our lives, he would be completely blind to it. A man who couldn’t read or write a syllable of English, he would look at ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek with a blank, uncomprehending stare. He wouldn't know what an "algorithm" is. The terrifying headline that “AI is coming to replace your son’s 26-year corporate training career” would mean absolutely nothing to him. I can almost hear the tech experts and cynics mocking his simple worldview: "Uncle, the robots can write better articles than you. They can calculate cash flow faster than your wife. What can your son do that a machine can't?" My father wouldn't panic. He wouldn't offer a grand tech strategy or a five-year pivot plan, he never gave me career advice. Instead, he would slowly wipe the sweat from his brow with the b...

Let me start with a difficult question. What if AI is not replacing jobs… but replacing people who behave like machines? Think about it. Today AI can: write reports generate PowerPoint slides answer emails create music do customer service analyze legal documents even generate videos and code And every few months, it becomes smarter. Many people are afraid. Harvard Students are afraid. Government and MNC Executives are afraid. Even trainers, consultants, accountants, and managers are afraid. But perhaps we are asking the wrong question. The real question is not: “What can AI do?” The real question is: “What makes a human being truly human?” That is the heart of this sharing. A few months ago, I saw something disturbing. A company proudly announced: “With AI, we reduced our manpower significantly.” Everyone clapped. Higher productivity. Lower costs. Faster output. But later I asked one of the staff privately: “How do you feel?” And she said...

AI Replacing Jobs Is Also a Karma Question Most people think AI replacing jobs is only a technology problem. Actually, it is also a karma problem. Why? Because karma is not just about religion. Karma is about causes, conditions, and consequences. For many years, human beings created a world obsessed with: speed over meaning efficiency over humanity profit over relationships automation over understanding Now AI has become the natural consequence of those choices. If a company values only efficiency, then eventually humans become inefficient. If work is treated only as repetitive output, then machines will naturally replace repetitive humans. In a strange way, AI is not replacing humanity. AI is replacing work that already became less human. That is karma. For decades, many organizations unknowingly trained people to behave like machines: follow SOP blindly do not question suppress emotions repeat processes prioritize output over wisdom Then suddenl...

Karma Is Not Punishment — It Is Completion Most people think karma means: “Do bad things, bad things happen to you.” But karma is far deeper than reward and punishment. Karma is the invisible completion of intention, action, and consequence. Every karma requires four conditions: The object The intention The action The completion A lie is not merely words. First, there must be a target. Then a hidden motive. Then the action of speaking or behaving. Finally, the other person believes it. Only then is the karma completed. That is frightening — not because karma is cruel, but because life records not only what we do, but why we do it. A smiling face can carry poison. A harsh sentence can carry compassion. That is why karma is not always obvious. Some people appear kind, yet manipulate others emotionally. Some people speak sharply, yet are trying sincerely to protect others. Outward behavior alone is incomplete. Karma looks deeper: What was your intention? What ...
