Communicate with Power

How to Communicate with Power

We all communicate. But do we communicate with Power?

Communicating with Power means that there are 5 things. Check to see if you are doing all these 5 things.

First, are you using VOCAL VARIETY?
That means your using different tonality. Your tonality has to be up and down, it cannot be flat throughout.

Next, are you giving people a PLEASANT TONE? "I hate you" , do you feel that I am hating you? On the other hand, when I pull my face down and say "I love you" do you feel there is love? The power of tonality.

The 2nd thing about Communicating with Power is your VOICE. Do you have RESONANCE in your voice? That means speaking from your stomach. Do not speak from your throat, for you will be heard as shouting and your voice is not nice to hear. Speak from your stomach and your voice will have more resonance, it is like you have the speaker woofer.

Third is, are you using this thing called APPRECIATIVE COMMUNICATION? That means that when you communicate, you are actually appreciating another person or something. It is not just about you saying something. For example, I am telling people that I am having lunch at this cafe. Appreciative communication would be like this, "Hello everybody, I am very happy to have lunch at this nice quiet cafe. Notice that there is something I am appreciating about this place.

Of course, that also means that you are able to appreciate other people, and compliment or praise them.

The 4th element of Communicate with Power is to use your BODY LANGUAGE. Your facial expression, your hands, your gestures and your body. You cannot be speaking so still like a zombie. You need to have some vocal variety to be more interesting so that people are more willing to hear what you say. People also like to SEE your communication.

The 5th and most important thing to communicate with power is to BE SINCERE. Speak from your heart, share your heart, share your feelings. Don't just share about things that you see in the newspaper, share your feelings about the news.

For example, I read in the newspaper that inflation is very high. Appreciative communication, Share from your heart, communicating with power would be something like this. With price rising, how am I going to find ways to reduce my expenses? Anybody can tell me? Well, my favourite way is to do things DIY. This is something I share from my heart, I am not just reporting about inflation

Ladies and gentlemen, there are 5 things that you can use to Communicate with Power. Are you using these 5 things?
1. Vocal Variety
2. Your Voice
3. Appreciative Communication
4. Body Language
5. Be Sincere and Speak from Your Heart

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
