Sandal is not about them, it is about Us

Scandal, Strategy, and Love Intelligence

Why do scandals spread faster than success stories?

Because deep down, people are not interested in gossip.

They’re asking a silent question:

“How did this happen… and could this happen to me?”

Recently, we saw a high-profile business scandal explode overnight.

Strong brand. Strong sales. Strong confidence.

And then — collapse.

I’m not here to judge anyone.

I’m here to extract the lesson.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Scandals don’t start with bad people.

They start with good people operating under pressure — with low Love Intelligence.

And pressure reveals one thing brutally clearly:

Your character
Your decision-making
And your inner strategy

I teach two things that may look unrelated, but together they are lethal in business.

One is Love Intelligence.

The other is Sun Tzu Art of War Win Without Fighting

Love Intelligence answers this question:

How do you stay human, clear, and trusted under pressure?

Sun Tzu answers this one:

How do you win — without exposing yourself to destruction?

Now let me show you how scandals happen through the lack of 3Cs of Love Intelligence.

First: Care.

When Care drops, people stop seeing long-term consequences.

They see only targets, numbers, and ego.

Sun Tzu warned us:

“Victory without sustainability is defeat delayed.”

Second: Courage.

Most scandals are not caused by ignorance.

They are caused by silence.

People knew something was wrong.

But fear was stronger than truth.

Sun Tzu calls this:

Losing before the battle begins.

Third: Connection.

When Connection becomes transactional, no one dares to challenge power.

Echo chambers form. Reality gets filtered.

And that’s when organisations walk confidently… into traps.

Now here’s the uncomfortable part.

This is not about them.

This is about us.

Every time:

We ignore a red flag
We avoid a difficult conversation
We trade integrity for short-term gain

Our Love Intelligence drops.

And when LQ drops, strategy collapses, sales decay, and trust evaporates.

Because in today’s world:

The greatest competitive advantage is not intelligence.

It is Love Intelligence, guided by timeless strategy.

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. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
