Again? US and Israel Bombed Iran

Win Without Fighting: Why Love Is the Highest Form of Thinking

On 28 Feb 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran in what officials called a pre-emptive attack on perceived threats, an operation that triggered explosions in Tehran and military retaliation across the region. National leaders justified it as necessary for security, while other nations called for de-escalation and diplomatic solutions.

This moment reveals a stark truth:
We do not lack tools.
We do not lack power.
But we lack love, not the sentimental kind, but strategic, courageous, coordinated human intelligence that avoids needless destruction.

War is the oldest fallback of human conflict. It is the moment when listening fails, empathy disappears, and the next generation inherits resentment.

What if there is another way instead of war?  Can we win without wars?

In this cycle, power wins battles, but love wins peace.

“Win without fighting” is not weakness. It’s the ultimate strength.
Sun Tzu taught that the best victory is one gained without battle, that the greatest commanders do not destroy their enemy but transform them. Love Intelligence is the modern extension of that wisdom.

Love Intelligence is the capacity to:

Stay present without reacting in fear
Seek understanding before pushing agenda
Collaborate rather than coerce
Resolve conflicts before they become crises

This is not naive optimism. It is strategic wisdom.

Love is not softness.

It is disciplined, courageous engagement.

When love is stronger than resentment:
• Bridges are built
• Dialogue continues
• Economies stabilize
• Future generations inherit hope

When love is absent:
• Walls go up
• Retaliation follows retaliation
• Old wounds become open sores

“What would it take to resolve this without fighting?”

“What would it take to see the humanity in the other side?”
“What would it take to choose connection over conquest?”

That question is not idealism. It is high-order strategic thinking.

And this is exactly what I will be exploring at my talk:

HOW LOVE INTELLIGENCE CREATES REAL WEALTH IN THE AI ERA
📌 1 Mar (Sun), 1:30–4:00 pm
📌 Union Book Co, 03-01, Bras Basah Complex

In the age of AI, we have tools that can out-think us, out-compute us, even predict our behaviors. But no machine can replace love, the disciplined form of care, courage and connection that creates trust, cooperation, peace, and sustainable success.

Power gets results. Love creates legacy.

Only seven seats remain.  This is not just a talk — it’s a strategic conversation about the future of humanity and leadership.

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...
