How to Be Happy Every day Every Time, Everywhere and with Everyone 1. Lower your expectations and requirements of others .    When I serve my customers and prospects, I do not expect anything from them other than to try my best to answer their questions and clear their doubts.   I often tell people to go back and consider again before they commit.  And when they are ready to buy, I ask them, 'Are you are going ahead?"  Some will be shocked and ask me why I ask this question.   My answer is, "I want you to be sure of wanting to purchase this out of your own will, not because of me or anything else because I want long-term recurring patronage from all my customers, at least for the next 3 months to a year.  2. Face Everything in Life with a Normal Heart Whether something is good or bad, I face it normally, as if I am not in the picture.  When I won 2-years in a row for my company's top sales (individual and team), many people congratulated me.  My reply was simply, '

H istory has it that when the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the Great Wall of China; they thought no one could climb it due to its height. During the first 100 years of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice and every time, the hordes of enemy infantry had no need of penetrating or climbing over the wall, because each time, they bribed the guards and came through the doors. The Chinese built the Wall, but forgot the character-building of the wall-guards. Though the Great Wall has over the years become a powerful symbol of the country’s enduring strength and spirit, it has actually been a good reminder to the Chinese of the superiority of human character. The Chinese realised much later that the best defence against the enemy is not a fortified wall, but a fortified character. Thus, the building of human character comes before building of anything else. What are you building today? Walls of bricks or walls of character?  Building Buildings or Building Cha

People, me included, think of me all the time.  There is a magazine called 'Me'.  The top-selling phone in many countries is called 'I-Phone'.  When AndyTheCoach gets criticized, you won't get upset, but when AndyTheCoach unintentionally says the same words of criticism to you, it becomes a big deal.  Our mind gets incredibly upset by anything that happens to us or is related to us. If our colleague is late for work, we think they must be sleeping late.  But when we ourselves are late, we have good reasons.   Whatever we do seems to be right and whatever others do seems not right.  We see the world through the narrow periscope of 'Me', 'I', 'My' and 'Mine'. There are over 7 billion people in the world yet we think we are the most important.  How to be happy anywhere anytime without spending a single cent?  Think less of yourself.   This self-centeredness causes us too much misery, by paying less attention to ourselves, we will be less

To get more done with less time, less cost and less effort, you need to be mindful of your productivity.   Productivity is about how much you create and deliver; not just finishing busy work. Don’t overfocus on minor details like having the perfect calendar. Measure your results and your work will improve. Avoid checking your phone, emails, and social media first thing in the morning, which puts you in “reaction” mode. Instead, take a step toward your goals before touching them. Multitasking and switching tasks ruin your productivity. Instead, minimize distractions while you work and remove clutter from your workspace. Don’t work until you’re exhausted; you’ll burn out and had nothing left for the next day. Instead, stop when you feel your productivity decline and take breaks throughout your day to conserve energy. Prioritize your tasks based on importance, not just urgency, so you can maximize the results you get from each workday. Don’t  find  time for the things that are important t

  WeChat Marketing: Market to Who? Search on Google today for ‘Practical WeChat Marketing Book English’ and it is hard to find one.   Indeed, it is surprising to many, because WeChat has been around since 2011.  It went international in 2013.  As of January 2020, there are 1.15 billion WeChat users in the world in 21 languages.  About 10% of the users are outside China, so this amounts to 126 million international users .   This 126 million is small compared to the billions of users of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. Since we are NOT in China, why bother about WeChat?   Can we just focus on the other social media tools where the reach is much wider?  Indeed, this has been the question that people often asked me.  “Why bother to market on WeChat when you have other better choices?”  was the question asked by one director from a large MNC. The question is back to why use WeChat ?  Many people told me that it is to sell to the Chinese living in mainland Chi

Forced Management: Most people are doing Forced Management knowingly or unknowingly. For example, most managers set targets for their staff and simply pressurize them to achieve the targets. They do not get buy-in to the targets, nor do they help the staff to see how they can achieve the targets. And they assume that the staff will hit the targets on their own, if not, they will do some forcing like issue threats. Few would take time to motivate, inspire and lead the staff to hit the targets. Even fewer will sit down and listen to the staff when they cannot hit the targets.   We all know that all goals must be internalized for it to be achieved. If you don't buy-in to the goals, you will not achieve them. Even if you do achieve them in the end, you will not get the pride and satisfaction of achievement.   We also know that if people achieve goals out of their own will, they will do so happily and willingly. Miracles will happen and we can turn all impossible to possible.  So

The reason people never achieve their new year goals is due to the lack of belief in their subconscious mind.  We know that your subconscious mind is more powerful than your conscious mind, for it controls your conscious mind but you may not even be aware that it exists. Your subconscious mind does not lie, it is your mind, the deep side of your mind.  When you set the new year wish or goal that is too big and you have no means to achieve it, or you yourself do not believe that you are worthy of the goal, your subconscious mind does not believe it at all.  That's why you can never achieve such goals.  Such goals are just fantasies and include wishing to earn 10 million in a year when you are just a salaried worker earning a few thousand dollars a month.   A better way is to set a goal that your subconscious mind believes in it.  It need not be a small goal, it can be big as long as you have the means and ways to achieve it.   For example, you can set a goal to earn 10 million when

The Basis of Digital Energetics: Why is 18 Bad? Many people ask me, what is Digital Energetics? Digital energetics is the combination of numbers + Yijing. The "digital energetics" system originates from the ancient Chinese "Book of Changes" or Yijing . We know that Yijing is the foundation of all things Chinese or Sinology : medicine, literature, design, music, philosophy and language. The basic framework of Yijing is Yin and Yang , 3 Talents (Heaven, Men and Earth), Five Elements (Water, Fire, Soil, Wood and Metal), and 8 Trigrams or Bagua : Sky, Marsh, Earth, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Mountain and Kan. Bagua is divided into Innate Bagua and Modified Bagua . Our digital energetics is derived from the modified Bagua . In here, each of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 & 9 has one of the 5 elements and also yin and yang. They are: 1 = yang water, 2 = yin soil, 3 = yang wood, 4 = yin wood, 6 = yang metal, 7 = yin metal, 8 = yang soil, 9 = yin fire The Chinese look a
