Trump May End the War with 3Cs

The Middle East war keeps proving one painful truth: military power can destroy enemies, but it rarely ends hatred.

If leaders only rely on force, the war may pause… but the conflict never truly ends.

This is where the 3Cs of Love Intelligence: Care, Courage, and Connection — become interesting to think about.

1. Care

Care does not mean weakness.
It means recognizing the human cost behind every strategic decision.

In the Middle East today, every missile strike creates:

  • more grieving families

  • more anger

  • more future fighters

A leader with Care asks a different question:
“What outcome reduces suffering on all sides?”

Without Care, victory becomes temporary.

2. Courage

Ironically, it often takes more courage to stop a war than to continue one.

Stopping a war requires:

  • facing criticism from hawks

  • negotiating with enemies

  • accepting imperfect outcomes

History shows that the boldest leaders are often the ones who choose peace before total victory.

In the language of The Art of War:

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

That is courage at the strategic level.

3. Connection

Most wars persist because leaders cannot see the other side as human anymore.

Connection restores perspective.

When leaders build even minimal channels of dialogue, conflicts sometimes shift from destruction to negotiation.

Many historic conflicts eventually ended not through annihilation, but through reluctant connection.

If a leader applied the 3Cs today…

Care would push for immediate humanitarian relief.
Courage would push for a ceasefire despite political pressure.
Connection would reopen negotiations.

That combination can shorten wars.

Without it, wars become cycles that last decades.

This is why in the AI era, the real leadership advantage may not be intelligence, technology, or military strength.

It may simply be Love Intelligence.

Because machines can calculate strategy.

But only humans can choose compassion over destruction.

If you’re interested in how these ideas apply to leadership, wealth, and decision-making in the AI era, this is exactly what I’ll be sharing in the upcoming session:

Because in the future, the most valuable leaders may not be the smartest ones.

They may be the most human ones.

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...
