永续,不只是环保,而是爱的智慧

永续,不只是环保,而是爱的智慧

很多人一谈到“永续” 或可持续性发展,首先想到的是环保、减碳、绿色能源。

但真正的永续,远远不只是“绿色”。

永续,是我们满足今天的需要,却不牺牲下一代满足他们需要的能力。

对企业而言也是如此。真正的企业永续,不只是赚今天的钱,而是在追求经济成果的同时,也照顾员工、客户、社会、环境与商业伦理,为所有利益相关者创造长期价值。

而这一切的背后,其实需要一种很重要的能力——爱的智慧(Love Intelligence)

爱的智慧有三个核心:关爱、勇气、连接。

关爱(Care),让我们想到的不只是自己,也想到那些可能永远不会遇见的人,甚至尚未出生的下一代。

勇气(Courage),让我们愿意为了更长远的未来,放弃眼前的一点利益;面对不对的事情,也敢于说“不”。

连接(Connection),让我们明白:人与人、企业与社会、今天与未来,从来都不是彼此独立的。我们今天所做的每一个决定,都可能成为别人明天生活的一部分。

所以,永续并不只是企业写在ESG报告里的数字,也不只是少用几个塑料袋、多种几棵树。

永续,其实是把爱的智慧延伸到未来。

因为我们关爱一些可能永远不会遇见的人;
我们有勇气为明天,牺牲今天的一点方便与利益;
我们更明白,自己与下一代的命运,始终紧紧相连。

这就是永续。

也是爱的智慧,留给未来最美好的礼物。

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...
