老子和爱的智慧

很多人都背过《道德经》的一句话：

“无为而无不为。”

很多人误会，以为老子在讲什么都不要做。

如果真是什么都不做，人早就饿死了。

老子的意思其实很简单：

不要违背规律去强行做事。

中国有个故事叫拔苗助长。

农夫嫌禾苗长得慢，就把每棵苗往上拔一点。

第二天，全死了。

问题不是农夫不努力，

而是他违背了生长的规律。

人的事业、关系、成长，其实也是一样。

《道德经》还说：

“为者败之，执者失之。”

越想控制一切，越容易失败。

越想抓住一切，反而越容易失去。

所以真正的智慧，不是拼命控制世界，

而是理解规律，顺势而为。

这也是我说的爱的智慧（Love Intelligence, LQ）。

爱的智慧不是软弱，

而是一种更高级的力量：

不用强迫去推动人，

而是用理解去激发人。

不用控制去维持关系，

而是用真诚去滋养关系。

当你不再用蛮力去拧世界，

世界反而开始为你打开。

这就是老子的智慧，

也是AI时代人类最不可替代的能力：爱的智慧。

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...

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...
