Five Ways to Train Yourself to Think — Without AI

If we are not careful, AI will slowly make us stop thinking. People ask AI everything today. Even small things like what coffee to drink. Thinking is like a muscle. If you don’t use it, it weakens. So the solution is simple: Create a daily routine to train your thinking. Here are five ways to do it without AI. 1. The 10-Minute Thinking Appointment Every day, schedule 10 minutes just for thinking. No phone.  No AI.  No internet. Just one question: “What is the most important thing I should think about today?” You will be surprised how powerful quiet thinking can be. Most breakthroughs happen in silence. 2. Write One Page of Thoughts Thinking becomes clearer when it is written down. Every day, write one page in a notebook. It could be about: a problem you are facing a decision you need to make something you observed about people or life Writing forces the brain to organize ideas. This strengthens thinking. 3. Ask Yourself One Powerful Question Great thinkers ask great questions....

How to Think More When Using AI

Five Ways to Think More in the AI Era Many people think AI will make humans smarter. But if we are not careful, AI may slowly make humans stop thinking. Today people ask AI everything. Even simple things like which coffee to drink. If this continues, the danger is not that AI becomes smarter. The danger is humans becoming mentally lazy. So the real question is not: “How powerful is AI?” The real question is: “Are you still thinking?” Here are five ways to think more even when you use AI. 1. Think Before You Ask Most people open AI and immediately ask a question. Instead, pause first. Ask yourself: “What do I already know about this problem?” Even 30 seconds of thinking first activates your brain. Use AI after thinking, not instead of thinking. 2. Challenge the Answer AI gives very confident answers. But confident does not mean correct. Always ask yourself: Does this make sense? What assumptions are behind this? What could be wrong? Thinking grows when you question information, not when...

How LQ Creates WQ

Why do some people with very high IQ remain poor… while others with average intelligence build enormous wealth? Think about it. The world is full of brilliant people who struggle financially. And at the same time, there are people who are not exceptionally smart, yet opportunities seem to flow to them.  So what is the difference? The difference is not IQ .  The difference is WQ — Wealth Intelligence . The fastest way to increase your Wealth Intelligence… is actually through Love Intelligence. Let me share a true observation from the corporate world. Two sales directors were working in the same company. Both were intelligent. Both understood the products well.  Both had strong sales skills. But their results were very different. The first director was aggressive and highly competitive. He pushed people hard, criticized mistakes quickly, and focused only on targets. His team performed… but they were always stressed.   People left the depar...

A Strange World Created by AI

AI has created a strange world. Everyone sounds intelligent.  Everyone has answers. Everyone can produce content in seconds. But something has quietly collapsed. Trust. Today, information is everywhere.  Insight is cheap. Even wisdom can be generated in seconds. So people are no longer asking: “Who is the smartest?” They are asking something far more important: “Who can I trust?” Because when everything sounds impressive, character becomes the real signal. Trust does not come from clever answers. It comes from three things AI cannot manufacture: • Character • Track record • Values This is exactly why ancient wisdom is becoming more relevant in the AI age. Yijing teaches you how to read change, timing, and patterns in life. It sharpens judgment. Love Intelligence teaches you how to lead with care, courage, and connection. It builds trust. One helps you make better decisions. The other helps people trust those decisions. Together, they give you something rare today: Clarity in...

What To Do in the Cycle of Fortune and Misfortune

According to the wisdom of the I Ching , life constantly moves through a cycle: 吉 → 吝 → 凶 → 悔 → 吉 Success  → Regret  → Failure  → Repentance  → Success Success and failure are not permanent. They transform into each other. What determines our long-term success is how we behave at each stage . This is where Love Intelligence becomes the compass. Stage 1 — 吉 (Success) Risk: Ego and complacency When things go well, people may become  arrogant, careless and disconnected from others Love Intelligence Response:  Stay humble. Stay grateful. Share credit. LQ principle: Success should deepen relationships, not inflate ego. Stage 2 — 吝 (Regret, Warning Signs) Risk: Ignoring small problems At this stage, warning signals appear:  tension in relationships, small mistakes,  declining trust Love Intelligence Response:  Listen. Accept feedback. Adjust early. LQ principle: Love notices disharmony ear...

“变现”自己的声音

每个人都可以“变现”自己的声音 很多人以为,只有成为 演说家、培训师或教练 ,才能靠声音赚钱。 其实不是。 每个人都可以变现自己的声音。 关键不在于你的职业,而在于 你怎么说话 。 第一,说有价值的话。 只要你的话能解决问题,就有价值。 例如家庭主妇或家政人员,如果提出一个节省水电费的方法,就已经在创造价值。 第二,被问才说。 很多人因为太爱给意见而让人反感。 没有被请教就不断给建议,别人很容易讨厌你的声音。 当别人不喜欢听你说话,你的声音就没有价值了。 第三,说出你的想法。 每个人都有一个强大的潜意识,里面充满想法和洞见。 今天,通过科技,你可以把这些想法变成文章、视频或课程。 例如,我现在直接对着 ChatGPT 说话,就可以整理成文章。 第四,也是最重要的——用爱说话。 在爱的智慧(Love Intelligence)里,说话有三个原则: 关怀(Care) :让别人感受到你的真心 勇气(Courage) :敢说正确的话 连接(Connection) :让人感觉被理解 当你的声音带着 关怀、勇气和连接 , 人们不仅听见你,更会 信任你 。 而在今天这个时代, 信任,就是最值钱的声音。

The Energy Advantage: 5 Yijing Wisdom for Success in the AI Era

We are living in a time when machines are becoming smarter every day. AI can now write articles, analyze markets, diagnose diseases, and even generate strategies faster than most humans. So the question is no longer: “Can AI do the work?” The real question is: “What will make humans still valuable?” Many people think the answer is skills . Others think it is knowledge . But after studying and teaching the wisdom of Yijing for many years, I realized something deeper. What ultimately determines success is not just intelligence. It is energy. Two people can have the same skills, the same knowledge, even the same opportunities. But the one with higher energy, clarity, and alignment with change will always move further. In the language of Chinese wisdom, this energy is called 气 — Qi . And the Yijing teaches us how to cultivate it. Let me share a simple story. Years ago I met two business leaders. Both were highly educated. Both had strong technical expertise....

Why People Remain Poor as per Sun Tzu Art of War

Sun Tzu Art of War 4 Wisdom:  1. Poverty comes from yielding blindly or constantly clashing. In The Art of War , the principle is clear: Those who do not understand when to advance and when to retreat will fail. Some people struggle in life not because they lack effort, but because they lack strategy. If a person always yields without principles, they lose respect and opportunities. If a person constantly clashes and argues, they create unnecessary enemies. 2. Blessings come from patience and yielding. Sun Tzu teaches that the best commanders do not act out of anger. Great people are not those who are the most aggressive, but those who have the greatest self-control. Patience is emotional discipline. Yielding is a sign of a large heart. 3. Wealth comes from planning and thinking. Sun Tzu said: The victorious army wins first and then goes to battle. People who become truly successful are rarely the busiest people. They are the ones who think the most. Planning means ...

Wisdom of chopsticks

The wisdom of chopsticks is deeper than most people realise.  What looks like a simple eating tool actually reflects thousands of years of Chinese thinking about harmony, balance, and intelligent action. 1. Why only one stick moves When using chopsticks, the bottom stick stays still while the top stick moves. This reflects a profound principle: stability plus flexibility. One hand must provide a stable base. The other must adapt and move. Without the stable stick, the moving stick becomes useless. In life, the same rule applies. You must have one part of yourself that does not move: your values, principles, character. Then another part that moves intelligently: your strategies, methods, and responses. Confucian virtue is the stable stick. Sun Tzu strategy is the moving stick. Yijing change is the movement between them. If both sticks move wildly, nothing can be picked up. Many people today fail not because they lack effort, but because everything in their life is moving: values, op...

Chopsticks and Love Intelligence

At first glance, chopsticks look like a simple eating tool. But if you look deeper, they quietly illustrate Love Intelligence (LQ) — how humans create harmony, cooperation, and respect in relationships. Here are several ways chopsticks reflect Love Intelligence. 1. Two sticks must work together One chopstick alone is useless. Two chopsticks working together can pick up even the smallest grain. Love Intelligence begins with the same principle: cooperation instead of domination. In many relationships, people try to “win.” They try to control, overpower, or insist on being right. Chopsticks show a different wisdom. Neither stick dominates. They coordinate. When two people coordinate, whether in marriage, leadership, or teamwork, results appear naturally. That is Love Intelligence at work. 2. One stick is stable, the other moves In chopsticks, the bottom stick stays still. The top stick moves. This mirrors a powerful relational principle. In any healthy relationship: One part must provide ...

方向定位行动 决定你的成功

做事,其实有三点最重要:方向、定位、行动。 很多人很努力,却没有结果,往往不是因为不够努力,而是这三点出了问题。 第一是方向。 方向错了,越努力离目标越远。很多人拼命工作、拼命赚钱,却发现自己越来越疲惫,甚至失去了生活的意义。方向决定了你的人生是走向成长,还是走向消耗。 第二是定位。 你是谁?你真正的价值在哪里? 如果一个人不了解自己的位置,就很容易被环境牵着走,今天追AI,明天追风口,最后却没有真正的核心能力。 第三是行动。 没有行动,再好的方向和定位都只是想法。真正改变人生的,是持续而正确的行动。 这三点,其实和**爱的智慧(Love Intelligence)**高度相关。 关爱(Care)给我们正确的方向。 当你的出发点是关爱,而不是自私或恐惧,你的方向通常不会错。 勇气(Courage)让我们敢于做出行动。 很多人知道该做什么,却没有勇气迈出第一步。 连接(Connection)帮助我们找到正确的定位。 通过与他人、与社会、与更大的使命连接,我们才真正知道自己在哪里、要往哪里去。 所以,真正的成功,并不是盲目的努力,而是: 用关爱找到方向, 用连接找到定位, 用勇气付诸行动。 这就是爱的智慧的力量。

Lao Tzu Dao De Jing and Love Intelligence

Many people can quote a famous line from Lao Zi's Dao De Ching: “Wu Wei Er Wu Bu Wei.” (Do nothing, yet nothing is left undone.) But many misunderstand it. They think Laozi is telling us to do nothing. If that were true, people would simply starve. That is not what Laozi meant. What he meant is simple: Do not act against the natural laws of things. There is a famous Chinese story called “Pulling Up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow.” A farmer thought his crops were growing too slowly. So he went into the field and pulled each seedling slightly upward. The next day, all the plants were dead. The problem was not that the farmer did nothing. The problem was that he interfered with the natural rhythm of growth. Our careers, relationships, and personal growth work the same way. Laozi also said: “Those who force things will fail. Those who grasp tightly will lose.” The more we try to control everything, the more things fall apart. True wisdom is not about controlling the world. It is about...
