So Near Yet So Far, Lost and Found The Magic of Dear You

Why has Dear You touched millions of hearts?

Because it reminds us of a simple but painful truth.

The love we are searching for is often already beside us.

Yet somehow, it feels so far away.

We spend our lives searching for happiness, while overlooking the people who quietly love us.

We chase success, but forget those who sacrificed for us.

We long to be understood, yet seldom take time to understand others.

Love is near.

But our hearts have drifted far away.

That is the paradox of modern life.

We have not lost love.

We have lost sight of it.

Dear You does not give us a new kind of love.

It helps us rediscover the love that has always been there.

  • The parents we forgot to thank.
  • The friends we forgot to call.
  • The promises we forgot to keep.
  • The kindness we forgot to show.
  • The humanity we forgot to live.

That is why the movie feels magical.

It helps us lose what should be lost: our indifference.

And find what should never have been lost: love.

In the language of Love Intelligence (LQ), the answer is not to search harder for love.

It is to become more love intelligent (LQ): rediscover what has always been there.

  • Care helps us notice the people we have been taking for granted.
  • Courage gives us the strength to express our appreciation before it is too late.
  • Connection transforms everyday moments into meaningful relationships that grow stronger over time.

The greatest tragedy is not that love has disappeared.

The greatest tragedy is that love is right beside us, yet we no longer see it.

That is the magic of Dear You.

It helps us find what was never really lost.

Not another person. But our capacity to love the people already in our lives.

Perhaps that is the greatest lesson of all.

Love is not far away.

It is so near, yet so far.

It is not gone.

It is simply waiting for us to see it again: with the eyes of Love Intelligence, at here  https://asiatrainers.org/lqamazon

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...
