Three Mega-Trends for AI Companies — and the Warning Signs 1. Valuations far outpace performance Many AI firms are being valued on future promise rather than current profits. For example, companies are raising massive rounds and getting sky-high valuations despite uncertain business models.  In Yijing terms: this is Excessive Yang — the peak of expansion without the return of Yin (grounding). In Art of War terms: it’s like advancing troops deep into enemy territory without solid supply lines — risky. For SuperME: It means we must stay rooted in reality, not hype. 2. Massive investment & hype around generative AI infrastructure Billions are being poured into chips, data centres, models — because there’s huge optimism. But there’s also a risk: what if the returns don’t follow?  Yijing: This is a “wind before the storm” moment — the calm and surge before possible contraction. Art of War: Building up the arsenal is good, but you need clarity on when and how to deploy it. Super...

Simple 3 Steps to Uplift Performance — The YAS Way by AndyTheCoach (This article is copyright — meaning “copy is right.” Please feel free to forward it with the title intact.) 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 ...

Why the More People Use AI, the More We Need to Be a SuperME The more people use AI, the more we need to awaken our SuperME. Let me explain why — there are three basic reasons. 1️⃣ AI Replicates Intelligence, But SuperME Reflects Consciousness AI can think fast, but it doesn’t feel. It can generate answers, but not awareness. AI copies data; SuperME creates meaning. When everyone depends on AI to think, the real value will come from those who can feel deeply, discern truth, and connect with humanity. That is what SuperME does — it awakens the heart behind the logic. 2️⃣ AI Gives You Options, But SuperME Gives You Direction AI can show you a hundred paths — but it cannot tell you which one is yours. Only your Purpose can. Without SuperME, you’ll drown in possibilities. With SuperME, you act with clarity, love, and gratitude — turning noise into navigation. AI gives you the map. SuperME gives you the compass. 3️⃣ AI Can Replace Roles, But It Can Never Replace the Real You Mac...

🌏 Beyond Greatness — The SuperME Way After “Make America Great Again” and now “Make Japan Great Again,” many nations, companies, and people are chasing greatness. But as a SuperME, we realize we don’t need to make ourselves great. Because we already are. We are not defined by achievements, titles, or recognition. We are defined by our authenticity — by being who we truly are. When you are fully yourself, you don’t need to compete or prove. Your presence itself radiates quiet strength, compassion, and truth. Being yourself is not less than greatness. It is greater than being great. Because greatness fades. But authenticity — that never ends.

⚔️ Sun Tzu’s View: What Is Disciplined Execution? A brilliant strategy means nothing without disciplined execution Sun Tzu teaches that victory comes not from the clever plan alone, but from consistent coordination, clarity of command, and control of momentum Execution discipline is the bridge between the strategist’s vision and the team’s daily actions. > “The general who wins makes many calculations before the battle; the general who loses makes but few.” — Art of War, Chapter 1 “The line between disorder and order lies in logistics and organization.” — Chapter 7 In Art of War, disciplined execution means: Clear orders aligned with clear purpose (Dao). Strict accountability (Fa) — no tolerance for confusion or inconsistency. Methodical precision, not emotional reaction. Control of timing and morale (Tian & Jiang) — discipline with humanity. 1. Goals achieved after goal adjustment ❌ Not disciplined execution. This reflects reactive adaptation, not disciplined leadership. Adjust...

Andy’s Personal Leadership Strategy Win Without Fighting — Lead with Clarity, Calm, and Purpose 1. My Dao (Purpose): Lead People to Win Without Struggle “To win without fighting — this is the highest form of mastery.” — Sun Tzu I lead with the belief that success should be achieved with flow, not force. My mission is to awaken clarity, courage, and compassion in every person I meet — so they stop fighting battles outside and start winning the battles within. 💡 Clarity creates confidence. Confidence creates followers. In my training and coaching sessions, I don't force answers from my participants, I let the answers flow naturally.  2. My Leadership Terrain: Transform Complexity into Simplicity Modern leaders face endless change, conflict, and noise. My strength lies in seeing patterns in chaos — turning complexity into practical wisdom people can apply immediately. I stand where others are confused — and bring calm, structure, and light. I don’t command followers; ...

As a full-time Trainer Coach since 2001, I believe that everyone is a leader and everyone can rise to the top leadership position of any organization.  There is no requirement of background, wealth, education or connections. However, many people still don't want to be a leader because they think that being a leader is difficult and requires too many sacrifices. The top 7 misunderstandings of being a leader include: 1. A Leader Must Be Tough.  Softness doesn't mean not effective, and sometimes being tough will alienate followers instead. 2. You Must Be The Best.  The best may not lead because they prefer to be led. That doesn't mean that the leader is mediocre and incompetent.  3. A Leader Must Behave Like a Leader at All Times. This is called fake leadership because ultimately a leader is just a normal human being like anyone. A leader is not God or a representative of God. In fact if you behave weak at times you will touch more peoples' hearts and get more loyal fol...

That's an interesting set of slips! They appear to be a summary of the Four Laws of Karma (or Seed and Result), which are fundamental principles in Buddhist philosophy, particularly Tibetan Buddhism. ​Here are the translations and an elaboration on each one: ​The Four Laws of Karma ​1. 思惟因果的总原则 ​Translation: The general principle of contemplating cause and effect. ​ Elaboration: This is the overarching concept. It stresses the importance of mindfulness about all of our actions (thoughts, words, and deeds) because they are the causes (因) that will inevitably lead to future results or effects (果). It's a reminder to live consciously. ​2. 业决定一切的道理 ​Translation: The truth that karma (action/deed) determines everything. ​Elaboration: This is a powerful statement about causality. It means that every experience we have—whether pleasant or painful, successful or failed—stems from a past action we performed. It emphasizes that nothing is random; our present circumstances are the fruitio...

That’s exactly what every human heart desires — to be seen not for what we have , but for who we are . When we strip away the layers of background, education, status, and roles, what remains is our essence — the true self, or what I call the SuperME . The SuperME does not need to prove, compare, or defend. It simply is — authentic, enough, and quietly powerful. In Yijing, this is like the balance between Qian (Universe) and Kun (Earth): one creates, the other nurtures; both exist harmoniously in truth.  In the Art  of War , this is called “winning without fighting.” Because when you are your true self, there’s no need for struggle — people naturally feel your sincerity and strength. So, let us all do what Li Yipeng said — be seen for who we truly are, not for what the world labels us to be. And when we live this way, we don’t just find peace — we also give others the permission to be real , and that, perhaps, is the greatest gift we can offer the world....

1. There’s No Overdose of Purpose, Love, and Gratitude — But There Can Be Imbalance Purpose, Love, and Gratitude are energies , not substances. You can’t “overdose” on them, but you can misapply them — meaning you express them without awareness or balance. When your Purpose becomes an obsession, you lose rest and presence. When your Love becomes attachment, you lose discernment. When your Gratitude becomes over-pleasing, you lose boundaries. So the goal isn’t to reduce PLG — it’s to anchor PLG with awareness. Yijing calls this “Zhong He” (中和) — balance and harmony in the middle path. 2. Appreciation and Praise Should Uplift, Not Inflate Appreciation is beautiful — it uplifts both giver and receiver. But if we praise without sincerity, timing, or truth, it loses its power. True praise comes from seeing reality with compassion , not illusion. When you appreciate someone’s goodness and see their flaws without judgment, you are practicing mature love — the kind that gro...

  “To lead people, walk behind them.” — Laozi “The skillful leader subdues the enemy’s troops without any fighting.” — Sun Tzu 1. Lead Without Leading — Influence Without Authority True leadership is not about command — it’s about influence and alignment . You lead not by position, but by presence and principle . Sun Tzu’s Insight: “The wise general wins the allegiance of his troops before the battle begins.” Sun Tzu teaches the power of Dao (Moral Purpose) — when people trust your vision, you don’t need to push; they pull themselves toward your goal. Leading without leading means creating conditions where others act voluntarily — guided by shared purpose, not fear or control. Application: Build credibility through consistency. Communicate vision clearly, then step aside. Create systems that empower people to self-organize. 🧭 Art of War Lesson: “The greatest victory is to win hearts before commanding hands.” 2. Lead Leaders — Multiply Strength Thr...

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 s...
