SAY Formula for Success

The S.A.Y. Formula for Inner Power
By Andy Ng, Speaker • Trainer • Coach

Tony Robbins once said, “It is our state of mind that determines our power.”
And truly, when we feel powerful inside, we can create wonders outside.

After 29 years of training, coaching, and speaking, I’ve realized one timeless truth:
When we S.A.Y., we awaken our inner power.

S stands for SuperME
We are not our Small Me, not our Survivor Me.
We are SuperME — not limited by our titles, roles, or even our past.
Each of us is using less than 1% of our true potential.
That’s why my company’s motto is “Harness the Potential in People.”
Because when you connect to your Super Me, you unlock your limitless self.

A stands for the Art of War.
Real power is never about fighting harder — it’s about knowing deeper.
Sun Tzu said: “Know yourself and know your opponent, and in all your battles, you will never be in danger.”
So start by knowing yourself — your passions, your values, your true dreams.
Write them down. Own them.
When you are clear, your strategy becomes unstoppable.

Y stands for Yijing (I Ching) — the Way of Flow.
Once you awaken your SuperME and know your strategy, you must execute in harmony.
Yijing teaches us: all creation begins with a single thought.
From that thought comes movement — the dance of Yin and Yang.
When you act, act in both Yin and Yang:
Do something that moves you forward, and something that protects your foundation.

Follow the wisdom of the 8 Trigrams:
  • Qian (Universe): Be creative and expansive.
  • Kun (Earth): Be receptive and grounded.
  • Kan (Water): Overcome difficulties with resilience.
  • Li (Fire): Burn bright with clarity and passion.
  • Xun (Wind): Communicate with grace and influence.
  • Zhen (Thunder): Take bold action.
  • Gen (Mountain): Stay steady and reflective.
  • Dui (Lake): Work with joy and openness.
When you live by S.A.Y. — SuperME, Art of War, and Yijing —
you align your power, your purpose, and your path.

So my friends, remember this:
You are far more powerful than you think.
You are not waiting for the right moment — you are the moment.
Activate your SuperME, apply your Art of War, and live the Yijing way —
and you will not just achieve success…
You will flow with success.

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...
