I Want to BE like Frances Yip, 78, Still So Much Vigor

On 1 Jan 26, I was at Marina Bay Sands watching the 3 Divas Concert, of which Frances Yip left me the deepest impression. 

I want to be someone like Frances Yip, at the age of 78, she still sings so well and professional, humble and healthy. How can Love Intelligence help me?

Wanting to be like Frances Yip at 78 is not about fame or talent.

It is about how a person has lived, trained, loved, and led themselves for decades.

This is exactly where Love Intelligence (LQ) matters.

Why Frances Yip at 78 Is Not an Accident

At 78, she still sings well, stands with dignity, speaks humbly, and radiates health.

That doesn’t come from: vocal technique alone, fame, genetics, luck

It comes from how she has related to herself, her craft, and the world for a lifetime.

In other words:

she has been practising Love Intelligence long before the term existed.


How Love Intelligence Helps You Age Like That (Not Just Live Long)

LQ is not about loving others first.

It starts with how you treat yourself over decades.


Here is how the 3Cs of LQ quietly shape someone into a Frances Yip–type figure.

1. CARE — Loving Yourself Without Spoiling Yourself

High LQ care is not indulgence.

It is attentive self-respect.


People who age well:

  • listen to their body early
  • rest before burnout
  • stop before damage
  • train without ego
  • eat, sleep, and practise with awareness

Frances Yip didn’t push to prove anything at 78.

She protected her instrument — her body, breath, and spirit — for decades.

LQ teaches you to care before crisis.

Most people only start caring after breakdown.


2. COURAGE — Letting Go of Ego, Comparison, and Over-Proving

Many talented people age badly because they:

  • cling to past glory
  • fight relevance
  • compete with the young
  • fear becoming “less”


That creates tension, bitterness, and decline.

High LQ courage means:

  • courage to slow down
  • courage to simplify
  • courage to be quiet
  • courage to remain a student
  • courage to let your work speak


Frances Yip doesn’t need to shout her greatness.

She stands calmly in who she is.


That calmness is courage matured.


3. CONNECTION — Staying Alive Inside, Not Just Alive Physically

People don’t decay because they age.

They decay because they disconnect from from meaning, joy, curiosity, contribution, people


High LQ keeps you connected to: your craft, your audience, your students, your purpose


At 78, Frances Yip is not “performing”.

She is communing.

Connection keeps the spirit young —

and the body follows.


The Real Secret: LQ Protects You From Self-Destruction

Most people don’t die early.

They wear themselves down.

By: proving too much, chasing validation, forcing outcomes, ignoring inner signals, living against their nature

Love Intelligence quietly prevents this.

It teaches you:

  • when to push
  • when to stop
  • when to speak
  • when to be silent
  • when to step back
  • when to step forward

That wisdom is what lets someone be:

professional, humble, healthy — even at 78.


What This Means for You, Right Now

If you want to be like Frances Yip one day, LQ helps you:

  • build a long, dignified second and third act
  • age with usefulness, not bitterness
  • stay relevant without desperation
  • stay strong without hardness
  • stay visible without ego

LQ is not about success now.

It is about being able to stand beautifully decades later.

That is a much higher ambition. Watch Frances Yip performs at Marina Bay Sands on 1 Jan 26 at Francis Yip, 78, singing for 56 years, sings with full vigor at Marina Bay Sands on 1.1.26 at here https://youtu.be/83ixUDb0Te4?si=RDHfLf5sX83LXVed

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
