When you Scroll non-stop, you have LQ Imbalance

“Stop the scroll.”

Not because phones are bad.
But because something far more valuable is being lost:

Presence.

We scroll for connection…
but end up feeling more disconnected.

We scroll for answers…
but feel more confused.

We scroll to relax…
but our mind becomes more restless.

So the real question is not how to stop scrolling.

The real question is:

Why can’t we stop?

This is where Love Intelligence (LQ) comes in.

Because scrolling is not a habit problem.
It is an LQ imbalance problem.

When LQ is low:

Care is missing → we neglect ourselves, numb our feelings
Courage is missing → we avoid silence, avoid facing our thoughts
Connection is broken → we replace real moments with digital noise

So we keep scrolling… not because we want to,
but because we don’t know how to be still.

Presence is uncomfortable for many people.

Because in stillness, there is no distraction.

You meet your thoughts.
You meet your emotions.
You meet yourself.

And that takes courage.

LQ gives you that courage.

Care → you choose to protect your attention
Courage → you face the silence instead of escaping it
Connection → you return to the moment, to people, to life

Presence is not something you “find.”

It is something you stop running away from.

So “Stop the scroll” is not about discipline.

It is about identity.

Who are you becoming?

Someone who is constantly distracted?
Or someone who is fully here?

Because in the end,

The most precious thing you can give
is not your time.

It is your attention.

And that… is Love Intelligence in action.

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...
