Costs Nothing but Reap Millions

The World's Most Common Language: Love

What Dear You Teaches Us About Love Intelligence

What is the most widely understood language in the world? Not English, Mandarin or Spanish.

It is love.

That is why movies move us. Songs stay in our hearts. Plays make us cry. Even a one-minute reel can touch millions.

Because behind every unforgettable story is one universal language: love.

Love costs nothing.

Yet it has created billion-dollar movies, best-selling books and timeless songs.

Dear You is proof.  A US$2 million that created US$350 sales. 

At its heart, it is simply a story about love.

The love between husband and wife, parents and children, and friends.

The love of keeping a promise.

There are no superheroes. No spectacular special effects.

Just ordinary people loving one another in extraordinary ways.

And that touched millions.

Perhaps this is why so many people today feel empty.

We are surrounded by technology, but starved of love.

We have thousands of followers, but few genuine connections.

We are busy making a living, yet sometimes forget how to love.

If today you feel overwhelmed, don't start by chasing more success.

Start by loving someone. 

It could be your parents. Your spouse. Your child. A friend.

Or even a dog or a cat.

The moment you begin to care, your heart begins to heal.

That is the miracle of Love Intelligence (LQ).

Care gives life meaning.

Courage gives love action.

Connection gives love a home.

Perhaps the most powerful lesson from Dear You is this:

Love is the one language that everyone understands.

And the more we speak it, the richer the world becomes.

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...
