报喜不报忧 :给阿嬷的情书》与侨批教会我们的爱的智慧

报喜不报忧: 《给阿嬷的情书》与侨批教会我们的爱的智慧

《给阿嬷的情书》里最令人感动的,不只是侨批。更是侨批背后的一种人生智慧。

那个年代,远赴南洋谋生的华人,都有一个共同的默契:

**报喜,不报忧。**


为什么?不是因为他们喜欢说谎。

而是因为他们深爱着远方的家人。

  • 他们不会写自己挨饿。
  • 不会写自己受苦。
  • 不会写自己遇到危险。

他们写的总是:

**“我很好。”**

**“不用担心我。”**


有些侨批甚至请人代笔,把一封普通的家书,写成一首优美的诗,

把思念、希望和祝福寄回故乡。

他们希望寄回家的,不是恐惧。而是希望。


这不是欺骗。这是**爱的智慧**。


他们明白,

**不是每一个真相,都必须马上说出来。**

有时候,

爱,就是把痛苦留给自己,

把平安留给家人


有时候,

智慧,不只是知道真相。

更是知道**什么时候说真相。**


时间,

终究会告诉我们答案。

有些真相,多年以后才揭晓。

有些真相,也许永远不会说出口。


但背后的出发点始终只有一个:

**保护。**

**鼓励。**

**爱。**


这也是《爱的智慧》(LQ)最深刻的一课。

**关爱(Care),是宁愿自己承担,也希望家人安心。**

**勇气(Courage),是默默承受,不求别人理解。**

**连接(Connection),是即使相隔千里,也让彼此的心始终连在一起。**


《给阿嬷的情书》告诉我们,

爱,不一定轰轰烈烈。

有时候,爱,就在一句:

**“我很好,不用担心。”**


也许,这就是侨批留给今天最珍贵的礼物。

不是一封信。而是一颗始终为别人着想的心。

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...
