When to Tell the Truth and When to Say What They Want to Hear

We often are caught between telling the truth and telling what people want ot her.

Thomas Sowell said:

“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.”

Simple. But uncomfortable.

Because if we’re honest, most of the time people don’t reject truth, they avoid it.

That’s exactly why I wrote Love Intelligence and built the Love Intelligence coaching system.

Not to motivate people.

Not to impress people.

Not to make people feel good for a moment.

But to do something much harder:

To help people stop depending on others, and start helping themselves.

Love, in the way most people understand it, is soft.

But Love Intelligence is not soft.

It means:

-Saying what needs to be said, even when it’s not popular

-Facing reality, even when it’s uncomfortable

-Choosing growth over comfort

Because without truth, there is no real care.

Without courage, there is no real change.

Without connection, there is no real impact.

That’s why I deeply respect Thomas Sowell.

At 95, still thinking clearly.

Still speaking honestly.

Still focused on helping people, not pleasing them.

That’s rare.

And that’s the standard I choose to aim for.

Not to be liked.

But to be useful.

Not to gather followers.

But to create people who no longer need to follow. Find out about Love Intelligence coaching at here https://asiatrainers.org/coaching

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...
