How I Win Friends and Influence People with LQ

The Silent Influence of Love Intelligence

How I Win Friends and Influence People with LQ

In a world full of noise, influence rarely comes from talking louder.
Real influence is often silent.

Many people try to influence others with arguments, authority, or clever words.
Sometimes it works for a moment.  But it rarely lasts.

People may comply, but they do not truly follow.

That is why influence built on pressure eventually collapses.

Love Intelligence works differently.

Instead of pushing people, it draws people in.

When you operate with Love Intelligence, you do three things naturally:

  • You care about people, not just outcomes.
  • You have the courage to speak truth with respect.
  • You build genuine connection beyond transactions.

These three qualities quietly change how people respond to you.

Clients begin to trust you more.
Colleagues become more cooperative.
Opportunities start appearing without aggressive pursuit.

It looks effortless from the outside.  But it is not magic.

It is the silent influence of Love Intelligence.

Long before modern leadership books, the Chinese already understood this principle.

In Dao De Jing, Laozi wrote that the best leaders are those whose presence people barely notice, yet when things succeed, people say:

“We did it ourselves.”

That is influence without force.

Similarly, in The Art of War, Sun Tzu taught that the highest form of victory is to win without fighting.

Love Intelligence applies the same principle to human relationships.

You do not force cooperation.
You create the conditions for it.

You do not chase influence.
Influence grows naturally from trust.

In the AI era, knowledge is becoming cheap.
Information is everywhere.

But trust remains rare.  And trust is the true foundation of influence.

Anyone can generate answers with AI.
But not everyone can win hearts.

That is why the future will belong not just to the smartest people,
but to those who combine intelligence with humanity.

That is Love Intelligence.

And its influence is often invisible, yet incredibly powerful.

Because when people trust you, they listen to you.
When they respect you, they follow you.

And when they believe in you, they open doors you never had to push.

That is the silent influence of Love Intelligence.

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...
