Everyone wants higher performance — in work, relationships, or life.

But most people think improvement needs big effort, motivation, or counselling.

What if I told you there’s a simpler, more powerful way?

One that can lift the performance of anyone in the world, including yourself in just 3 heartfelt steps.

Over 20 years of coaching and training since 2001, I’ve seen this truth again and again —

people don’t improve because they lack skill.

They improve when they feel seen, believed, and valued.

In the Yijing, this is the balance of Yin and Yang —

acknowledging both what is and what can be.

In the Art of War, it’s called “winning hearts before winning battles.”

And in SuperME, it’s about awakening the good that’s already within.

So, instead of pushing people harder,

I began using these 3 simple steps — and performance soared like never before.

3 Steps That Instantly Uplift Performance

Step 1: Find Good Now

No matter how bad or good the performance is — find something good in it.

If someone is struggling, say:

“I can see there’s something in you that wants to be better — and that already puts you ahead of most people.”

If they’re already doing well, affirm it sincerely.

The secret is not flattery, but seeing through the eyes of balance —

like the Yijing reminds us: “Every shadow hides light, and every light carries shadow.”

Step 2: Ask What’s New

Ask gently, “Is there anything new you’re trying?”

If they say no, respond,

“That’s great — it shows your focus.”

If they say yes,

“I look forward to seeing what you create.”

This keeps their energy moving.

In Yijing, it’s the flow of Qi — motion brings fortune.

And as Sun Tzu says, “A leader’s greatest weapon is anticipation.”

Step 3: End with Belief

Always close your conversation with a sincere praise and these magic words:

“I believe in you.”

Belief awakens the SuperME within others.

It connects your purpose with their potential,

your love with their growth,

and your gratitude with their trust.

So my friends,

Don’t wait for the perfect moment or a motivational seminar.

Start today — with your colleague, your friend, or yourself.

Speak one word of belief, one moment of praise, one breath of gratitude.

You’ll be amazed how quickly performance transforms —

not through pressure, but through presence.

Because the secret to improving others

is not to make them someone else,

but to help them return to their SuperME —

the best version that was already inside them all along.

Try it today — and watch ordinary moments turn into breakthroughs.

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...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment.
