Having a Stake in *Dear You*: What It Means to Be Human

Why has *Dear You* become such an extraordinary phenomenon?

People are not simply watching the movie.

They feel they have a stake in it.

The film spreads almost entirely through word of mouth. Many people return to the cinema to watch it a second or even third time. That rarely happens because of clever marketing. It happens because people see part of their own lives reflected on the screen.

  • They remember someone they once loved.
  • Someone they lost.
  • Someone they never had the chance to thank.
  • Someone they wish they had spent more time with.

The movie is not telling someone else's story.

It is reminding us of our own.

That is why audiences cry.

Not because the story is sad, but because it awakens feelings that have been buried beneath the busyness of modern life.

Love, Loss, Distance, 
Care, Gratitude, Connection, Courage.

These are not just emotions.

They are what make us human.

In a world where AI is becoming increasingly intelligent, we often ask what AI can do.  Perhaps the more important question is:

**What does it mean to be human?**

*Dear You* offers a beautiful answer.

To be human is to love. To care. To remember.

To be grateful. To stand by one another.

To live with **Qing Yi**.

That is why this movie resonates so deeply.

It reminds us that beneath our titles, achievements and daily routines, we are all simply human beings longing to love and to be loved.

And perhaps that is the greatest lesson of all.

Technology may change how we work.

But it should never change what it means to be human.

That is the true **Dear You Effect**.

And that is the heart of Love Intelligence.

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...
