Even Successful People are Not Happy at Work? How?

How to Be Happy at Work — The YAS Way

Have you noticed that most people are not truly happy at work?

If they run their own business — whether family-owned or self-made — they often struggle with money or time.
If they work in big organizations, they face endless stress, rules, and restrictions.
And if they’re in small companies or semi-retired, they have freedom — but little money.

So, what’s the solution?
How can we make people less unhappy at work — and slowly turn them into people who love their work again?

The answer lies in YAS — Yijing, the Art of War, and SuperME.

1️⃣ Yijing — The Wisdom of Balance

Yijing tells us that everything has two sides: Yin and Yang, light and shadow, gain and loss.

When you are unhappy at work, it’s because your focus is stuck on one side — the negative.
For example, in a family business, you might say: “No freedom, always have to please people.”
But you forget the other side — stability, belonging, and no fear of retrenchment.

The moment you see both sides, your heart softens.
Balance returns.
You begin to realize that your unhappiness was not caused by work, but by a one-sided view.

2️⃣ Art of War — Engage the Whole You

Sun Tzu taught the strategy of “taking the entire nation.”
That means using your body, mind, heart, and spirit together.

When you bring only your body to work, you get tired.
When you bring only your mind, you get stressed.
But when you bring your heart and spirit, something magical happens —
You rediscover meaning.

So, the Art of War tells us: Don’t fight your work.
Integrate with it.
When you give your all, joy quietly returns.

3️⃣ SuperME — Rise Above the Small and Focus on the Great

The SuperME mindset reminds us:
Unhappiness often comes from smallness — focusing on what’s unfair, missing, or annoying.

But when you live as your SuperME, your focus expands.
You start asking:
“How can I harness my potential?”
“How can I bring more value and joy to others?”

And when your mind is filled with purpose, love, and gratitude,
you’ll find no room left for unhappiness.

🌿 The YAS Way

So how do we become happy at work?
Not by changing the job.
Not by escaping the system.
But by changing how we see, how we engage, and how we rise.

When you combine
Yijing’s balance,
the Art of War’s engagement, and
SuperME’s higher self,

you create work that is no longer a burden — but a blessing.

Because happiness at work is not found in what you do,
but in who you are when you do it.

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...

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...
