Wellness with Sun Tzu Art of War Today, I want to share with you how the ancient wisdom of Sun Tzu’s Art of War can guide us toward wellness—not just physical wellness, but emotional, mental, and even spiritual well-being. ​ When we think of The Art of War , we often picture battles and strategies for conflict. But Sun Tzu’s teachings go far beyond warfare. ​ At its core, his philosophy is about achieving harmony, clarity, and balance—qualities that are essential for true wellness in our fast-paced, modern lives. ​ 1. Win Before the Battle Begins ​ Sun Tzu famously said, “The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.” In the context of wellness, this means preparing yourself so well that you avoid unnecessary stress and conflict. ​ Ask yourself: ·        Are you overcommitting to tasks that drain your energy? ·        Are you fighting battles that don’t align with your purpose? ​ Wellness begins with cla...

故善战者，致人而不致于人 This famous quote is from Sun Tzu's The Art of War chapter 6, and it translates to: "Thus, those skilled in war bring the enemy to the field of battle, and are not brought there by him." In a modern business context, this is a fundamental principle of strategic initiative and competitive advantage . It means that successful companies proactively shape the market and force competitors to react to their moves, rather than constantly being on the defensive and reacting to competitors' actions. Here is a breakdown of what it means to "致人" (bring the enemy to you/control others) and not be "致于人" (be brought to the enemy/be controlled by others) in business: What it means to "致人" (To Control the Situation / Be the Disruptor): This is about being proactive and setting the agenda. You force others to play by your rules. Innovate, Don't Imitate: You launch groundbreaking products (e.g., SH Lingzhi cookies, CEO Cafe, CEO Pushcarts ...

Why Strangers Appreciate You More Than People Who've Known You for Years In the study of Yijing (I Ching), every hexagram is made up of two trigrams: the lower trigram (representing your inner world—your subjective reality) and the upper trigram (representing the external world—objective perception). When interpreting any hexagram, we always start from the bottom—the lower trigram—because that’s where things originate: within. This is your inner self, your identity, your values, your energy. Now, think about the people who have known you for a long time—your family, old classmates, long-time colleagues. They see you through the lens of the past. Their perception of you was formed years ago, and unfortunately, it often gets stuck there. Even if you’ve evolved, grown, and transformed, they still relate to the version of you they once knew. Their perspective is subjective, rooted in memory and emotion—just like the lower trigram. In contrast, people who meet you for the first time tod...

How to Fulfill Your Wishes by Helping Others Fulfill Theirs 1. Start with Purpose Instead of asking, “What do I want to achieve today?” begin with: “Whose life can I add value to today?” Example: If your wish is to grow your business, start by helping a client solve their problem better than they expected. Your growth will follow naturally. 2. Lead with Love Love means caring beyond transaction. Don’t just ask, “What can I get?” Ask, “What can I give?” Example: If you want strong friendships, take the first step — check in on others, listen, and celebrate their small wins. You’ll be surrounded by genuine connections. 3. Practice Gratitude Daily Every time you help someone fulfill their wish, pause and give thanks. Gratitude magnifies the joy and opens new opportunities. Example: If you want financial freedom, be grateful each time you help someone earn, save, or create value. That gratitude energy will magnetize your own abundance. ✨ The SuperME Shift When you live as Survival-Me, you ...

SuperME: The Secret to Ageless Living 🌟 People everywhere want to look young and stay young — no matter their age. But creams, surgeries, and shortcuts only touch the surface. True youth doesn’t come from the mirror. It comes from the heart. That’s why I believe SuperME can help you not just look young, but actually be young.

Chatted with a friend about doing merits: social service, helping others in need, donations and charity service.  I told my friend that my contributions are small, but I have been doing such things for a long time, especially offering my service (for free) when needed.  I am heavily influenced by my late father and late younger brother Dennis Ng.  My Dad used to help out in the Chinatown hawkers association, 7th-month events and gave free repair of shoes for people.   My late brother Dennis Ng was well-known for donating big sums (5-figure) to Tzu Chi Singapore.  He also did many free talks and education for people in personal finance and entrepreneurship.   Compared to them, I am nothing, I told my friend.  But I do whatever I can offer my expertise.   The organizations, past and present, that I was involved in include Soheaven training, Agora Speakers Club, Chinese Development Assistance Council, Toastmasters International, Associ...

SuperME and Wealth Creation When you return to your SuperME, you stop operating from fear, desperation, or comparison. Instead, you act from Purpose, Love, and Gratitude (PLG): Purpose makes sure you invest your time and energy only where it matters most. Love builds trust, loyalty, and lasting relationships — the true currency of wealth. Gratitude keeps you resilient during downturns and wise during success. This is “easy money” — not because it falls from the sky, but because it flows naturally when your actions and values are aligned. ⚔️ Sun Tzu’s Art of War in Business & Money Sun Tzu teaches: “Win without fighting.” Applied to money-making, this means: Choose your battles (markets, opportunities) wisely. Leverage strengths, avoid wasteful struggles. Anticipate moves of competitors and adapt quickly. In practice, this creates smoother, faster wins — wealth with less conflict and stress. ☯️ Yijing Wisdom and Flow Yijing says life is cyclical — times of growth (spring), times of ...

This Weekend, make it the most enjoyable one with Sun Tzu Art of War, SuperME and Yijing: Sun Tzu said all war is based on deception, which is simply to change the perception so as to fulfill the Dao or Purpose.  For this weekend, plan some surprises, instead of birthday cake, have birthday flower garlands.  Don't blow candles, instead put decorative flowers on the cake.   Change the birthday from celebration of yourself to repaying gratitude.   This leads me to the 2nd way, SuperME.  Gratitude is the 3rd pillar of SuperME, so use this birthday to repay your gratitude to the people that remember your birthday.  You can give them a beautiful AI-created postal card, or just create a song from Suno.ai to thank them.  The 3rd way to enjoy your weekend is to use Yijing.  People know Yijing is something about energy or qi, so use this weekend to create lots of fun qi including: Dress up as SuperME, not Superman, by not wearing your underwear o...

Business Integrity the SuperME Way In business, integrity is constantly tested. We see it everywhere: leaders snatching clients from their downlines, competitors undercutting deals, partners chasing profit at any cost. It is tempting to play the same game, to fight fire with fire. Recently a leader tried to pull me away from my manager to his team. He promised more perks and training opportunities. It was tempting to me, and I almost jumped ship. But when I live as my SuperME, the path becomes clear. 1️⃣ Return to Purpose My Purpose is simple: to harness the potential in people. It is not to maximize profits at all costs. So whenever I face integrity issues, I go back to Purpose. The answer is then obvious: if a decision damages people, trust, or truth — it is not aligned with my Purpose. When Purpose leads, peace follows. 2️⃣ Guided by Sun Tzu’s Art of War Sun Tzu taught: “Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will never be defeated.” I know myself: my Purpose, my SuperME,...

Identifying your SuperME involves reconnecting with your truest self—the version of you that exists beyond fear, labels, and societal expectations.  Here’s how you can identify your SuperME: 1. Understand What SuperME Is  SuperME is not a title, achievement, or role.  It’s your soul, your truest self, and your empowered self.  It’s the version of you that: Leads with Purpose, Love, and Gratitude.  Lives aligned with truth and serves with intention.  Transforms wounds into wisdom and shines fully.  2. Recognize What Is NOT SuperME  SuperME is not active when you are: Survival-Me: Driven by fear, avoiding discomfort, and clinging to safety.  Protector-Me: Overthinking, building walls, and shielding yourself from vulnerability.  Small-Me: Shrinking in self-worth, avoiding leadership, and fearing judgment.  These states are often reactions to external pressures, past trauma, or societal conditioning.  3. Reflect on Your Inner Voice...

Superman vs. SuperME Superman is a hero we admire on screen — strong, invincible, faster than a speeding bullet. But Superman is fictional. He saves the world with powers we can never have. He represents an ideal, but also a distance — something “out there,” not in here. SuperME is different. SuperME is not about flying or lifting mountains. It is about something far greater: being fully, authentically human. Superman conquers by force. SuperME transforms by love. Superman saves the world. SuperME saves the self — and in doing so, uplifts the world. Superman needs powers to be super. SuperME needs only Purpose, Love, and Gratitude (PLG). Why SuperME is MoYou attract abundance, not by force, but by alignment. Superman may inspire awe. But SuperME inspires transformation. And that’s why SuperME is more than Superman. Because it is real, it is lasting, and it is already inside you. Grab it at https://asiatrainers.org/smubook

Do you want to make wiser decisions with confidence? Do you want to win more in life… without endless conflict and struggle? And do you want to live fully, with joy and authenticity?

We upgrade our phones every year. We upgrade our laptops every two years. But let me ask you: when was the last time… you upgraded yourself ? For years, I was upgrading everything around me — my gadgets, my career, even my wardrobe — but deep inside, I was still running on “version 1.0.” I was busy, stressed, and chasing success… yet never feeling fulfilled. And then… I discovered something life-changing: SuperME. SuperME is not about becoming someone new. It’s about rediscovering who you already are — your authentic self. Through SuperME, I learned three powerful truths: First, live with Purpose . Purpose is your compass. It tells you where to go, even when the world feels noisy. Second, live with Love . Not just love for people, but love for your work, your health, your journey. Third, live with Gratitude . Gratitude transforms ordinary coffee into a miracle, and an ordinary day into a celebration. When I embraced Purpose, Love, and Gratitude, everything changed. I...

When I was young, I used to envy those with big houses and flashy cars. I thought that was success. I thought that was happiness. But as I grew older, I realized something deeper: It is not wealth outside, but strength inside that matters. It is not possessions, but peace. It is not status, but joy. And when I encountered SuperME , the truth became clear: ✨ Happiness is not something to chase. ✨ Strength is not something to prove. ✨ Fulfillment is not something to buy. All of these already live inside me. I only need to return to my authentic SuperME — the self that is whole, grateful, loving, and free. That is the real enlightenment. That is the real wealth. And the best part? It was within me all along. 📖 Discover this journey too in SuperME Unleashed by Dr. Vivian Passion Koh with Andy Ng.
