Lots of Care but Little Courage and No Connection

A parent lied about an address to get a child into a “better” school. Why? Because of love? Yes. But also because of fear. Fear of losing out. Fear that “if I don’t do this, my child will fall behind.” This is where most people get it wrong. They think: “If I’m doing this for my child, it must be right.” But Love Intelligence is not just about intention. It is about alignment between care, courage, and truth . In this case: There is care (wanting the best for the child) But there is no courage (to accept the system, or find another path) And there is a break in integrity and connection (lying, bending rules) So this is not Love Intelligence at its highest. This is love mixed with fear . Real Love Intelligence would look different: It would ask: “What kind of example am I setting for my child?” “Am I teaching them to win… or to win at all costs?” “Will this decision make them stronger, or just more dependent on shortcuts?” Sometimes the hardest tr...

你不是从零开始

很多人卡住,不是因为能力不够, 而是因为 一直盯着问题看 。 越看,越乱。 越想,越累。 最后开始怀疑自己,甚至想放弃。 我做培训辅导26年,看过太多人在这个点倒下。 但其实,有一个很简单、马上可以用的方法: 转念。 当你觉得自己陷在泥潭里出不来时, 不要再拼命找答案。 先做一件事—— 把注意力,从问题,转回你自己。 问自己两个问题: 我一路走来,已经做到什么? 有多少难关,其实我已经走过? 你会突然发现一件事: 你没有你想的那么弱, 反而比你以为的更强。 这个时候,我很喜欢做一件事: 听 < 恭喜自己>  不是为了娱乐, 而是提醒自己—— 该肯定自己了。 很多人一生都在等别人认可, 却忘了最重要的一件事: 你有没有认可你自己? 这,就是爱的智慧里面很关键的一点: 关爱,不只是给别人, 也要给自己。 不是自恋, 不是逃避问题, 而是先把自己从低谷中拉出来, 你才有力量再面对现实。 当你学会这一点, 你就不会那么容易被打倒, 也不会那么容易放弃。 因为你知道—— 你不是从零开始, 你是带着一身经历,在继续前进。

我讲真话的原因

  很多人不喜欢听这句话,但它很真实: 当你真的想帮一个人,你会讲真话。 当你只是想帮自己,你会讲他们想听的话。 这就是为什么,大多数人“感觉被安慰”,却没有真正改变。 因为他们听到的,是舒服,而不是真相。 我写《爱的智慧》,不是为了让人感觉更好。 我建立爱的智慧LQ系统,也不是为了让人“听得爽”。 我的目的很简单—— 让人有能力,自己帮自己。 不是依赖,不是崇拜,也不是短暂的激励。 而是有一天,你可以在没有任何人提醒的情况下, 做出更有爱、更有勇气、更有连接的决定。 很多人以为“爱”是温柔,是包容,是不伤害。 但真正的爱,包含三样东西: 有时很温柔 有时很坚定 有时很直接,甚至不好听 因为如果没有真话, 就没有成长。 没有成长,就没有改变。 这也是为什么我很佩服 Thomas Sowell 95岁,还在想着帮助别人。 不是为了被喜欢, 不是为了证明自己, 而是因为——那是他选择成为的人。 我也很清楚自己要走的路。 不是做一个让人喜欢的老师, 而是做一个让人改变的老师。 不是让人依赖我, 而是让人越来越不需要我。 如果有一天, 你开始对自己诚实, 开始做那些你一直逃避的决定, 开始用爱,而不是情绪去面对人生, 那你就已经在走爱的智慧LQ的路了。 而那条路,不轻松, 但很真实。

When to Tell the Truth and When to Say What They Want to Hear

We often are caught between telling the truth and telling what people want ot her.   Thomas Sowell said: “When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.” Simple. But uncomfortable. Because if we’re honest, most of the time people don’t reject truth, they avoid it. That’s exactly why I wrote Love Intelligence and built the Love Intelligence coaching system. Not to motivate people. Not to impress people. Not to make people feel good for a moment. But to do something much harder: To help people stop depending on others, and start helping themselves. Love, in the way most people understand it, is soft. But Love Intelligence is not soft. It means: -Saying what needs to be said, even when it’s not popular -Facing reality, even when it’s uncomfortable -Choosing growth over comfort Because without truth, there is no real care. Without courage, there is no real change. Without connection, there is no real imp...

Playing the Wrong Game

If you are still: Chasing clients Convincing people Explaining yourself again and again You are already losing. Not because you are not good enough. Because you are playing the wrong game. The Art of War already said it 2,500 years ago: The highest level is to win without fighting. Today, it means this: 👉 Win hearts, so you don’t have to fight for control But here’s the brutal truth: Most people cannot do this . Because when pressure comes: Emotions take over Ego reacts Old habits return And you go back to pushing, forcing, chasing.

Win Hearts, So You Don’t Have to Fight for Control

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 ...

A Singer that Never Performs: Wakin Chau, and How You Too Can be Like Him

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...

Widening Gap when You Upgrade with AI

You are Not in Conflict, You are Just Not Leading

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 Paying High Price for Little Results

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.

I Am Not Impressed with what AI Can Do because I'm Not ...

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...

LQ: The Missing Link between Intention and Real-World Results

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...

Never Pay a High Price by Being Distracted with Price

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...

Are You Living Your Life, or Performing It?

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...
