Stephen Covery's 7 Habits and SuperME

Let’s explore Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People through the lens of SuperME Unleashed and PLG (Purpose, Love, Gratitude).

✅ Habit 1: Be Proactive

Covey: Take responsibility for your life, don’t blame circumstances.

SuperME: This is exactly moving from Survival-Me (fear, excuses, blame) to SuperME (ownership). Gratitude helps you see possibilities instead of problems.

✅ Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

Covey: Live with purpose and vision.

SuperME: Aligned perfectly. Purpose is the first energy of PLG — living by who you are, not by roles or titles.

✅ Habit 3: Put First Things First

Covey: Prioritize what matters most.

SuperME: Purpose guides choices, Love gives balance, Gratitude keeps perspective. You focus on impact, not noise.

✅ Habit 4: Think Win-Win

Covey: Seek mutual benefit in relationships.

SuperME: Love in action. A SuperME doesn’t compete out of fear but collaborates out of abundance.

✅ Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

Covey: Empathetic listening before speaking.

SuperME: Love again. Deep listening is one of the hallmarks of Vivian Passion Koh’s approach — presence, not performance.

✅ Habit 6: Synergize

Covey: Combine strengths to achieve more together.

SuperME: This is the ripple effect — one SuperME inspiring others until SuperWE emerges.

✅ Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Covey: Continuous self-renewal (physical, social, mental, spiritual).

SuperME: Gratitude for the body, Purpose for growth, Love for connection. Renewal is not duty but natural when you live from your SuperME.

🌟 Conclusion

Yes — Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits and SuperME Unleashed are deeply aligned. The difference?

Covey gives principles of effectiveness.

SuperME gives the inner engine (PLG) that sustains those principles with heart, resilience, and joy.

Covey helps you “do.”

SuperME helps you “be.”

What an Executive Coach and Business Coach Does

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...
