Become The Person All Look Up To

Most people spend their entire lives training to win at standardised work.

Clear rules.
Known answers.
Predictable outcomes.
Measurable benchmarks.

Ironically, that is exactly the category of work AI devalues the fastest.

AI is exceptionally good at:

structured tasks
known problems
repeatable analysis
standardised outputs

The work that remains valuable today is the opposite.

It is:

not fully knowable in advance
messy and ambiguous
political and human
dependent on trust and judgment
shaped by intuition and creativity
built on meaning, not just answers

That is the new frontier of value.

As this shift accelerates, several uncomfortable truths emerge.

Grades matter less.
IQ benchmarks matter less.
Pure technical mastery has a shorter shelf life.

What matters more is:

tool literacy
human judgment
sense-making
ethical discernment
the ability to work with uncertainty

AI becomes the engine.

Humans become the direction.

The winners will not be the smartest people in the room.

They will be the ones who can:

define the right problem
shape the right question
architect systems, not just solutions
lead humans and machines together

When intelligence becomes cheap, thinking alone is no longer the advantage.

Meaning is the advantage.

Direction is the advantage.

Leadership is the advantage.

This is where Love Intelligence (LQ) enters the picture.

Love Intelligence is not sentimentality.

It is the intelligence required to:

build trust in uncertain environments
make courageous decisions without full data
hold competing truths without collapsing
align people around purpose, not fear
lead when there are no model answers

LQ gives us meaning when answers multiply but clarity disappears.

LQ gives us direction when options explode but purpose weakens.

LQ gives us leadership when authority no longer comes from expertise alone.

With Love Intelligence, you don’t compete with AI.

You command it.

You become the person who:

sets direction
frames the questions
holds the moral compass
integrates human and machine intelligence

And in doing so, you become the person others look to — not because you know the most, but because you make sense of what matters.

That is the future of leadership.

That is the real human advantage.

And that is why Love Intelligence is no longer optional.

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...
