The Untold Truth about Right Timing, Right Choice and AI

After living for 62 years, I’ve come to a simple conclusion about success.

People argue about what makes someone successful.

Some say it’s luck.
Some say it’s making the right choices.
Others say it’s timing, connections, or now AI.

All of these matter.

But none of them are consistent.

The only factor I’ve seen appear again and again, across people, industries, and generations, is this:

Doing what is not comfortable.

Yes, you must understand the flow.

Yes, you must read the environment.

But when it comes to execution, success always demands one thing：the willingness to push through discomfort.

Getting out of the comfort zone.
Doing what is not easy.
Having the courage to act when it would be simpler to stay still.

That is exactly how Love Intelligence came into being.

And later, its Chinese edition, 《爱的智慧》.

Writing them was not comfortable.

Putting “love” into leadership, business, and success was not fashionable.

But I pushed through because I believed deeply in the message.

The same was true when Dr Vivian Passion Koh and I decided to publish SuperME Unleashed, a book that contains our struggles and lessons for exeutives today.

It took courage, commitment, and many uncomfortable conversations.

But meaningful work always does.

These two are not books; they are manuals for success, materials drawn from my over 39 years of work experience, including training slides and coaching conversations: SuperME Unleashed and Love Intelligence.

If there’s one thing I hope you take from this, it’s this:

Growth never happens inside comfort.

It happens the moment you choose to step beyond it.

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...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment.

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...
