As you may know, I seldom see fortune tellers, but this guy was highly recommended by my friend, and I just saw him today. After some soul searching questions, this expert revealed to me the answers that I have been looking for in the past whole year. I asked this soothsayer what he prognosticate for me in the 5 key areas of my life and these are his answers:
Money
This year I have the chance to make more money than last year. However, I must be alert to take advantage of opportunities quickly or they will be gone. Furthermore, I must work hard, but not too hard or I will missed opportunities. As this year (2016) financial markets will be down, I must invest my hard earned savings into instruments that are safe, like REITs that offer quarterly dividends exceeding 5% per annum. Lastly, I must know how to donate money, for the more I donate, the more I have.
Career and Business:
Things appear to be challenging in the short term, as the world economies are not looking good now. However, as long as the things that I do are unique and adding value, the bad economy will not affect me and in fact would help because people will appreciate vendors that add more value.
Family:
My forecast for the year is that I may have less time for family, but can make it up in terms of quality. Remember, always set aside an hour a day or week for family time. and in the worse case, spend an extra minute with your family.
Social Leadership:
He told me that I will be recognized as a Social Leader this year, with social media as my main tool of leadership. Physical Friends will also be coming along this year, but I have to add them and send caring messages to them, as this is the fastest way to build friendships. Also, click the 'Like' button often, and refrain from nasty comments.
Health:
Food intake will be more important, especially with the advent of more food scares. I was told to cut down on meat consumption, and to make it a point to have a day in a week as totally vegetarian, or a meal in a day to be vegetarian. Regular exercise is important, but exercise of the mind is of greater importance. Meditating once a day for 10 to 20 minutes is very useful.

Overall, this fortune teller said that as this is the year of the Monkey and not the Pig, I have to put in more effort. Continue to do what you do best, cut down on things that don't work, and most importantly, have fun!

Sun Tzu (or Sūn Zǐ in pinyin) was a 500 BC Chinese general, military strategist, and author of The Art of War, an immensely influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy. Many great leaders like Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan study his work and became legendary leaders. Many corporate leaders paid thousands of dollars to attend courses to learn Sun Zi secrets.
We at Asia Trainers believe that you too can learn master his secrets with just two hundred dollars. This is because we take the essence and compile them into a 4-hour course that will leave you with just enough materials to lead your team to greater heights. Since October 2010, we have trained over 1,137 leaders coming from countries including Hong Kong, Japan, Myanmar and even China.
The most valuable lesson out of his 13 chapter of 5,000 words must be found in the 3rd chapter: Win Without Fighting.
As translated from The Art of War: Generally, in war the best thing is to take the enemy state whole and intact; to ruin it is inferior to this. To capture the entire army is better than to destroy it. Hence, to win on hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill.
To subdue the enemy without fighting is supreme excellence. In short, win without fighting is the best.
How does it apply to your leadership?
- Enemy here refers to not your enemy but your team that you are leading.
- Take the enemy state whole and intact means you must lead your team wholly with not just their bodies, but also their minds, hearts and spirits.
- Never destroy the bodies, minds, hearts and spirits of your team. So you cannot over-work them for you will be destroying their bodies and minds. You also cannot break their hearts by not delivering on your promises and make them give up on you. Finally, you may destroy their spirits when you unknowingly make them a fool in front of others.
- To win without fighting in leadership is to lead without your team knowing that you are leading them. A leader is at his best when people barely knows he exists, when the work is done, the team will say: we did it ourselves. This is because the leader has empowered the team so much and they have become so competent that they are mini leaders themselves, thus the leader is leading without actually leading them. This must be the highest form of leadership. Lead without Leading.
- If you too want to be a great leader, learn from the master.
