High-Value Dear You Values

 



Why the Values in Dear You Are More Precious Than Ever

Something becomes valuable when it is scarce, highly sought after, and meets a deep human need.

That is precisely why Dear You has become such a phenomenon.

It reminds us of values that are becoming increasingly rare in today's fast-paced world.

These are not just movie values.  They are high-value life values.

1. The Value of Waiting

In the days of handwritten letters, every reply took weeks or even months.

Waiting was part of loving. Waiting required patience and trust.

Waiting required confidence that the relationship was worth investing in.

Today, we expect instant replies, instant results and instant success.

Yet some of life's greatest rewards still belong to those who know how to wait.

In investing, waiting for the right opportunity often creates greater returns than constant action.

Love Intelligence teaches us that courage is not only knowing when to act.

It is also knowing when to wait.

2. The Value of Going with the Flow

Lan Zhi did not plan to become someone else's messenger.

Life simply unfolded that way.

She accepted what life presented and quietly continued writing to Mu Sheng's wife.

There was no struggle. No resistance.

Only acceptance and wholehearted action.

Sometimes life is not about forcing our plans.

It is about flowing with purpose when circumstances change.

Love Intelligence reminds us to connect with our hearts before reacting with our minds.

When we flow with what is right, we often discover a path we never expected.  Right now I am flowing with my heart, I have created over 13 articles on Dear You. 

3. The Value of Not Remembering

Perhaps the most beautiful quality in the movie is that Lan Zhi never kept score.

She could no longer remember everything she had done.

She was not looking for recognition. Not waiting for gratitude.

Not expecting repayment.

She simply did what love asked her to do.

Ironically, that made her actions even more valuable.

The greatest acts of kindness are often those that ask for nothing in return.

Love Intelligence teaches us:

Care because it is who you are.

Not because of what you will receive.

When the joy is in the giving, there is no need to keep accounts.

Why These Values Matter Today

Waiting. Flowing. Giving without keeping score.

These values may appear old-fashioned.

Yet they are becoming increasingly scarce.

And what is scarce becomes valuable.

Perhaps that is why Dear You has touched millions of people.

It reminds us that the values we have been losing are precisely the ones our hearts have been searching for.

These three values are also the essence of Love Intelligence (LQ).

  • Care gives without expecting.
  • Courage waits when waiting is wiser than rushing.
  • Connection grows naturally when we stop controlling and start trusting.

In the end, Dear You is not only a story about love or letters.

It is a reminder that the highest-value assets in life are not money or possessions.

They are the timeless values that make us truly human.

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...
