Money Has Energy Only When It Moves

Money Has Energy Only When It Moves

Only things that move have energy.

Water that stops flowing becomes stagnant. Blood that stops circulating cannot sustain life.

Money is the same.

Money sitting somewhere is merely an asset. Money that moves can create opportunities, livelihoods, relationships and hope.

But there is an important question:

Where are you moving your money?

You can move money out of fear, greed, or Love Intelligence (LQ).

Care — Spend money where it genuinely improves lives. Support your family, employees, community and people who need an opportunity.

Courage — Invest rather than merely hoard. Have the courage to use resources today to create something of greater value tomorrow.

Connection — Let money strengthen relationships rather than destroy them. Pay fairly. Give generously. Invest responsibly. Help others grow.

This is beautifully reflected in Dear You.

Musheng worked hard to earn money, but the money kept moving home to his family.

Nanzhi earned her own money, yet continued sending it to Shurou's family for years.

The money mattered, but the love behind the money mattered more.

Perhaps this is why true wealth is different from simply having money.

Money accumulated is wealth possessed.
Money moved wisely is value created.
Money moved with love becomes a legacy.

Don't just ask: “How can I make more money?”

Ask: “How can the money that passes through my hands create more good?”

That is Love Intelligence applied to money.

Let money flow. Let value grow. Let love decide where it goes.

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...
