Live a Life that Others Remember How Deeply You Loved

Why Does Dear You Make Us Cry… Yet Leave Us with Peace?

Dear You is one of those rare movies that makes us cry, not once, but three, four, even five times.

Yet something remarkable happens when we leave the cinema.

We are not depressed. We are not heartbroken.

Instead, we feel... relieved.

Why?

Because Dear You is not a story about tragedy.

It is a story about love fulfilled.

Nanzhi's dementia becomes an unexpected act of grace. After carrying the burden of pretending to be Musheng for eighteen years, she no longer remembers the secret. The guilt that she bore for decades quietly disappears. We feel relieved for her.

Shurou's joy comes from something seemingly insignificant: Nanzhi still remembers the salted pork she once sent. That simple memory tells us something profound:

Every act of kindness is remembered, even if years have passed.

And then there is Musheng.

He died young and lived a life of hardship. Yet in Shurou's heart, he remains forever the young, cheerful man who worked tirelessly for his family.

Isn't that how we hope to be remembered?

Not by our failures.Not by our struggles.

But by our love.

Perhaps that is why Dear You touches millions around the world.

It reminds us that the people who truly love us do not remember us at our weakest. They remember our sacrifices, our kindness, and the love we gave.

That is why we cry.

Not because the ending is sad.

But because the ending is beautiful.

This is the essence of Love Intelligence (LQ).

Care leaves memories that time cannot erase.

Courage enables us to love even when sacrifice is required.

Connection outlives death, distance and even memory itself.

Perhaps the greatest lesson of Dear You is this:

Love is not blind. Love remembers the best in us.

So dare to love.

Dare to receive love.

And live a life that others will remember, not for what you achieved, but for how deeply you loved.

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...
