Our respect and tribute to Mr Ng

DATE: 29-9-2011

Dear Ms Ng and family,Image:Arum lilies 2777.jpg

We are 黄仁杰's family and I am Donna. I have heard that Mr Ng just left us this afternoon. We are here to share with your pain and sorrow for loss such a good member of your family and friend of our family.

Mr Ng was one of the kindest and warmhearted persons we had ever seen. He became  my  insurance client as soon as I advised him to purchase an insurance, although he had one or two already. He definitely wanted to give his family the best protection. On top of that, together with Chun Chun,, they spent half day showing our around  UST in December 2009, boosting  my son's confidence in getting into this prestige university.

Some days ago, we have sent our earnest concern and support to him -
Dear Samuel,
 
Wong Yan Kit and our whole family here send our best wish for you and are so gratified to see you are positively battling the disease. Meanwhile we enjoy your hobby that brings us so many beautiful views of our nature.
 
Actually nothing is more important then having a positive attitude to life and optimistic view to ourselves. It is the first medicine we need to cure any diseases. I wish we are as positive as you in adversity.


We understood these days will be the most difficult time for you. We are here to send our warmest concern and deepest condolence. We are sure you will strongly get through  the hard time ...


Take care!

Wong Yan Kit

Kit,

It was my first time to call somebody in such sad time. I was hesitate because I didn't want to make them sadder. But I know I must do something to express our concern and caring.

I was surprised and gratified to find the voice of Mrs Ng was peaceful, calm and soft as usual. She said his husband has given the whole family so much positive energy  that she and two sons are learning from him to be strong and serene during this hard time. She told me Mr Ng didn't suffer as bad as expected and had done proper arrangement before his leave so that the whole family would not be panic but can be easier to get through grieving time.
I told her we have sent our concern to them through Mr Ng's email. She said their sons will check the emails.

We shared our tribute to him by remembering his hobbies and pictures. We all believe Mr Ng just wanted his families and friends to live fully every moment with passion and meaning as him.

Eugene,

Have you sent the email to Uncle Ng asking him if he would participate in 10KM Marathon ? No matter you have sent or have not, we will never be able to receive his lovely photos from now on.

Your father couldn't see him gone when his classmates and he rushed to  Shatin Hospital this later afternoon.

Just a few days ago,  we sent our earnest support and concern to him. We sent our sincere appreciation to his passion of photographing as follows:
Dear Samuel,
 
Wong Yan Kit and our whole family here send our best wish for you and are so gratified to see you are positively battling the disease. Meanwhile we enjoy your hobby that brings us so many beautiful views of our nature.
 
Actually nothing is more important then having a positive attitude to life and optimistic view to ourselves. It is the first medicine we need to cure any diseases. I wish we are as positive as you in adversity.


Uncle Ng was one of the kindest and warmhearted persons I had ever seen. He became  my  insurance client as soon as I advised him to purchase an insurance, although he had one or two already. He definitely wanted to give his family the best protection. On top of that, together with his son, they spent half day showing us around  UST in December 2009, boosting  you confidence in getting into this prestige university.

I simply could concentrate on my dance class this evening, I was in deep sorrow for loss of such good friend of our family and one of your husband's  best friends.

Well, what we can do to show our condolence and sorrow for loss of such a good man?

Yesterday I watched an TV interview on Tong's group's vice president, a 29 year-old- young guy. He remembered his father sudden leave that has made an painful impact in his life. It took a long time for him to reshape his mindset, define his position and stand on his own feet from a long term of grieve . His family group was the first investor who tapped into Pu Dong, Shanghai when everyone was still in hesitation. Now he already leads his group to become one of the biggest property investors in Shanghai.

His advice is trying to express love and care to your family whenever you can. Don't leave your thanks and gratitude behind until your loved one has left. No one knows when this will happen and all we can do is to express now and any time a sense of thanksgiving comes to your mind.

A strong sense of living up this moment, care for life and our loved ones stroke me. Nothing is more important than keeping a compassion to life, treasuring our life and our families and friends like Uncle Ng. Even in his last days, he still sent  his blog with passion to travel around the world and take more photos...


Take care!

遠離癌症的第一步

遠離癌症的第一步

作者 -- 伊利沙伯醫院臨床腫瘤科唐志聰醫生

人類醫治癌症到目前為止只有兩條路,第一條路是消滅病源,第二條路是增加抵抗力。但很奇怪的是,癌無論用鈷60或其他藥物去消滅癌細胞,可是癌細胞還沒被消滅,好的細胞卻先被殺死。無論用什麼營養、補藥,好的細胞還未吸收,癌細胞卻先吸收、讓癌長得更快;因此可說上述兩條路都行不通、所以叫絕症。

血液檢查的結果顯示癌症病人百分之八十五都是酸性反應。長期素食、且生活接近自然的人,由於體質都偏屬優質弱鹼性,所以很少發現罹患癌症的病例。因此大膽的斷定在弱鹼性體質的狀態下,癌細胞是無法生長,甚至是無法生存的。

建議你從現在起少吃酸性的葷食類,多吃鹼性食物,另外可吃綠藻和帶殼菱角湯, 改變你的體質,並勵行接近自然的良好生活規律。

85﹪癌症病患屬於酸性體質

*健康人的血液是成弱鹼性的,約是PH7.35∼7.45左右
*嬰兒也是屬於弱鹼性的體質
*成長期的成人有體質酸化的現象。根據一項六百位癌症病人體液分佈的研究顯示,85﹪癌症病患屬於酸性體質。

因此,如何使體質維持在弱鹼性就是遠離癌症的第一步。

酸性體質的生理表徵:

1.皮膚無光澤。
2.香港腳。
3.稍做運動即感疲勞,一上公車便想睡覺。
4.上下樓梯容易氣喘。
5.肥胖、下腹突出。
6.步伐緩慢、動作遲緩。

1.過度攝取乳酸性食品
a)肉類、乳酪製品與蛋、牛肉、火腿等皆屬於酸性食品。
b)攝取過量的酸性食品血液會傾向酸性而變黏稠,不易流到細血管的末稍,而易造成手腳或膝蓋的冷寒症,以及肩膀僵硬和失眠等。
c)年輕力壯時吃適量的肉類是對的,但老年人則以蔬菜或小魚為宜。

2.生活步調失常會造成 酸性體質
a) 生活步調失常會造成精神與肉體的壓力。
b) 據統計,晚睡者罹患癌症的機率比正常人高出5倍
c)人類本來就活在節奏的世界裡,無法事先儲備睡眠或飲食,也不能夜顛倒。
d)人體內臟受自律神經控制,白天主要是交感神經活動,晚上則由副交感神經工作,若使其錯亂及倒置,就亦百病滋生。

3.情緒過於緊張
a)文明社會會造成的壓力。
b)工作上或精神上的壓力。
c)當一個人承受精神壓力後,一旦緊張鬆弛,時會造成猝死,稱為潛在性副腎皮質機能不全症。

4.肉體的緊張
a)動手術之前應先檢查腎上腺皮質機能是否正常。如果副腎皮質機能較差,或手術壓力遠超過副腎調整功能,則可能造成病人死亡或其他不良影響。
b)若發現病患臉部浮腫,需詳加詢問病史及服藥狀況,為長期服用腎上腺皮質賀爾蒙者,施以針灸要特別注意反應。
c)勞動或運動過度,通宵打牌、開車等壓力都應盡量避免。

常見食物的酸鹼性:

1.強酸性食品:蛋黃、乳酪、白糖做的西點或柿子、烏魚子、柴魚等。
2.中酸性食品:火腿、培根、雞肉、鮪魚、豬肉、鰻魚、牛肉、麵包、小麥、奶油、馬肉等。
3.弱酸性食品:白米、落花生、啤酒、酒、油炸豆腐、海苔、文蛤、章魚、泥鰍。
4.弱鹼性食品:紅豆、蘿蔔、蘋果、甘藍菜、洋蔥、豆腐等。
5.中鹼性食品:蘿蔔乾、大豆、紅蘿蔔、蕃茄、香蕉、橘子、南瓜、草莓、蛋白、梅乾、檸檬、菠菜等。
6.強鹼性食品:葡萄、茶葉、葡萄酒、海帶芽、海帶等。尤其是天然綠藻富含葉綠素,是不錯的鹼性健康食品,而茶類不宜過量,最佳飲用時間為早上。

Dr Hua's Philosophies on family relationship and gratitude

对于感恩,周華山博士认为:

感恩﹐是快樂的泉源﹐是人世間最有智慧的生活態度﹐視一切經歷為上天賜予的禮物。

其實﹐福與禍﹑樂與苦﹐都是心的領受。心懷感恩﹐生機無盡﹐快樂無窮。我們不可能一面感恩﹐同時煩惱和抱怨﹐它們是不能並存的。當我仍然抱怨﹐只因為我尚未懂得感恩。

抱怨﹐猶如吸毒﹐會上癮的﹐越抱怨﹑越痛苦﹐並把痛苦傳給他人。

感恩﹐猶如收禮﹐很快樂的﹐越感恩﹑越快樂﹐並把快樂傳給他人。


感恩﹐不是成功得意時才需要﹔相反﹐痛苦時﹐最需要感恩。當我感恩﹐焦點不再是「我的」痛苦﹑「我的」無奈﹐而是自己所受的恩惠。感恩的起點﹐是「我」﹐過程包括許多個「你」﹐終點成為「我們」。因為有你﹐所以有我。

对于家庭或親密關係出問題问题,周華山博士认为:

 親密關係出問題﹐通常卡死在自己對對方的期望。期望﹐就是對未發生的事﹐預設特定結果。關係裡面的期望﹐不論是我與上司﹑下屬﹑同事﹑家人﹑朋友﹐就是想對方依從我的想法﹐來滿足我的需要。問題是﹐我只可以改變自己﹐不可能改變其他人。當我想改變對方﹐就會讓對方抗拒﹔然後﹐自己可能會失望﹐甚至指責﹕「你不應該這樣」﹐又或者自責﹕「我不應該這樣。」這些所謂「應該」﹐就是把某種想法﹐視為理所當然﹐然後強加對方﹐要「你」接受「我的」想法﹐這種「我對你錯」的自以為是﹐只會破壞關係﹐讓自己受苦﹑無奈。


讓我們體驗到放下期望的價值和喜悅﹐品嘗到盡情創造的巨大力量。真摯坦誠互相尊重和愛惜。掌握到幸福人際關係之道.

Inspiring course and interview

Here is our trainer's review on our presentation course and her personal feelings about it:
 
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon 

 

Recently I led a week-long workshop in Hong Kong on platform and presentation skills. It was exhilarating. You know what really inspired me on this particular trip is what can be accomplished when like-minded people come together. They push each other and support each other in such a way that creates the best kind of stretching and growing.

There were a couple of people who after the first day did not want to come back. But they stuck with it and pushed themselves way beyond what was comfortable and then had the BIGGEST breakthroughs!! It was so awesome to see and be a part of. It was the acknowledgement of fear, then letting go of that fear, that got them to a higher place. There ARE things more important than fear! But you have to be willing to see and accept that there are greater things, and more important, than the fear itself.

This weekend I also had the pleasure to meet Amy Roloff, star of the TLC show "Little People Big World" and the driving force behind the Amy Roloff Charity Foundation. Talk about an inspirational powerhouse! To me, she embodies what Inspired Living is all about. She has recognized opportunity in the face of adversity, not letting anything stop her from going after her dreams and ambitions.

What might be possible in your life if you, like Amy or the folks at my seminar, had the courage to bring your dreams to life? The courage to say that there are more important forces in your life than fear, forces that can lead to greater opportunity and a different life? It's not just a possibility, it can be your destiny, if you choose it!

Shine ON!!

There's nearly always something worth salvaging

GEN,

 After having trying for more than1 hour, I finally found how to transfer CD file to my mobile phone via the new desk top. Media play doesn't work for this. I have to find another channel, that is the Nero burner.

 So many failures and errors paved the way for this tiny success. But I believe if keeping trying, there must be something rewarding awaiting for me, even without a success.


Now I found you started to find happiness from things around you, small or big, learning from everything is the mindset towards unconditional happiness.


There's nearly always something worth salvaging/tasting/enjoying around our life every day, something you can learn from experiences.


 I like the saying that:

 There is always a silver lining behind every dark cloud.

 Yes, things are always better than expected according to my personal experience and facts around us. But if we look at the bright side at the very beginning, the outcome will be even better as we don't need to waste our energy struggling how to face it but just do it with our our mighty and resources. This is what I learnt in the presentation course both from myself and all classmates and from my young life when everything had to start from scratch.

恢復四大功能,永遠離開癌症


香港伊利沙伯醫院臨床腫瘤科唐志聰醫生編寫

當我們選擇不注視生命中的缺憾,而對當下的富足懷著感恩的心時,就是置身於人間天堂。
 -- 莎拉‧布雷斯納克(Sarah Breathnack

恢復四大功能,永遠離開癌症

癌症的病人,只要脾、肝、大腸、腎,四個功能恢復,就能永遠離開癌症、糖尿病、心臟病、高血壓。 癌症不是單一的,要考慮整體。

如果癌症只是一個腫瘤就好辦了,所以過去我們在醫學上犯了一個很大的錯誤,就是只看到這個腫瘤,然後就想,我怎麼把它殺掉,所以用手術把它割掉,用化療去毒它,用放射線去照它、燒它,反正用各種方法把它殺掉就好,然後藥越用越重,真 的把它殺掉,癌細胞死了,人也死了。

脾一定要先恢復,每天三餐五穀雜糧一定要佔總飲食的50%,一定要養成這個習慣。雜糧就是紅豆、黃豆、綠豆、薏仁,這些都是雜糧類,蓮子也很好,有了這個概念之後,脾好肝就好,脾在造血,一天有兩個重要的時間,就是子時和午時,所以你該休息的時候一定要休息。

現在的人大部分都是肝不好,為什麼不好?

晚睡、吃油炸的東西、壞脾氣,這三個正是肝的三大剋星。油包肝,你吃油的東西,油把整個肝包住,肝的功能完全喪失了,所以我們不要吃得太油。當我們身體感覺不適的時候,疾病在糾正人的過失,用身體的痛苦管教他,有痛苦的時候,代表我們要改變。

每天早上,你上廁所感覺很困難,這個表示什麼?你身體纖維素攝取量完全不足,為什麼美國得大腸癌比例那麼高,中國大陸沿海地區得大腸癌的人那麼多。中國的內地平常研究發現,根本沒有腸癌,因為每天上廁所都很順,一坐下去,噗隆,噗隆噗隆!每條都像香蕉,好漂亮!而且排列整齊。

如果你上廁所有困難,這表示什麼?萬病之源,都是從你的大腸不能正常排泄開始。

你如果大腸很好的時候,你早上應該不是自己醒過來,而是被大腸的蠕動叫醒,大腸蠕動在叫你了,為什麼? 因為 57點就是大腸最活躍的時間,所以為什麼我們告訴癌症病人一定要9點睡,因為你的大腸早上 6 點到7點的時候自然就會蠕動,叫你起床,蹲馬桶了。

你一天要上幾次廁所才夠?
請記住:如果四、五天才上一次廁所,叫重度便秘;兩三天上一次廁所,這個叫中度便秘;一天上一次廁所,叫輕度便秘。怎樣才是最健康,最正常?就是每天吃幾頓飯就上幾次廁所,這個叫健康,而且每次坐下去,兩三分鐘就解決。食物進入體內12小時,沒有排出去,就會形成毒素。因為毒素沒有排出去,我們的大腸壁就會吸收這個毒素,吸收以後,透過靜脈又送回肝臟去,糟糕了!造成肝虧損,這個問題就很嚴重了。肝不好跟大腸有直接關聯,只要大腸一通順,肝好了,免疫系統也跟著恢復,而且送到心臟的血都是乾淨的,所以什麼病都不容易罹患。

當一個人感覺到每天很容易疲倦、很容易累,表示你的肝功能已經出現問題了,血已經沒有辦法回流到肝!你身體健康靠的是什麼?

睡眠的時間,脾去收集血液,送到肝臟去解毒,解毒以後,乾淨的血液送到心臟去,心臟再送到全身,就能獲得營養,就能獲得健康。

很不幸的是,現代很多人脾已經先出現問題,脾本身就不收集血液,只有一個辦法最養脾,五穀最養脾,可是現代身體為什麼都這麼差,身體這麼多病?因為都不吃五穀雜糧,吃漢堡、炸雞、牛排、薯條,又吃白米,所以你要吃原始的食物,一定要吃五穀雜糧,原始的雜糧,比如糙米。



釋放壓力七大法】

壓力處理得宜,會變成一種動力,產生生命的活力。壓力如果一直持續增加,會使得腎上腺、荷爾蒙出現很大的問題,引發免疫系統方面的疾病,問題就非常嚴重了。

大部分的憂鬱症都是有很大的壓力突然來到,沒有辦法轉化。我們所處的社會上,壓力一定存在,不可能沒有任何壓力。我們活在這個世界周遭所有的人事物都會對我們產生影響,所以我們如何讓它變成正面、積極的影響。而且使我們面臨的壓力都轉化成生命的動力,就會越活越好。

壓力來自於遇到很多的困難,所以我們要學習把困難改變。一講困難,就真 的很困難。遇到困難的時候,不要講困難,要把困難講成挑戰,重要的是我們遇到的事情,做出什麼反應。人生90%是決定於你所做出的反應,不是決定於你所遇到的事。成功的企業跟倒閉的企業,成功的人生跟失敗的人生,他們所遇到的困難、挫折、挑戰都差不多,差別在於如何做出回應而已。

跟壓力關係最大的是癌症,得癌症前六個月,幾乎都有重大的壓力事件發生。癌症復發的,也都幾乎在半年或一年之間有重大事件發生。壓力最普遍的現象就是加重消化系統的疾病。壓力一旦無法轉換,會從生理表現出來,現代文明病絕對不是單一因素所造成,尤其不是病毒或細菌所造成。

糖尿病、心臟病、高血壓、癌症、氣喘、過敏,用藥物控制是一點用都沒有。因為它是綜合性的併發症,它的引爆點就是壓力。跟飲食習慣、生活習慣、生活環境息息相關。它是一個長久累積形成得病的體質,等到一個重要事件打擊,終於生病。

當你感到壓力來臨的時候,要學會放鬆 。我發現幾個方法很有效,呼吸可以影響腦波的頻率,腦波的頻率可以影響心跳的速度,心跳的速度又可以影響肌肉鬆緊度。這種方式也治療過口吃的病人。你也可以自己練習搓動雙手,用這個方法很有效,可以幫助整個人的氣血回流,體力和精力可以很快的充滿。

第二個有效紓解壓力的方法就是運動,讓你整個人震動或舞動,很快就可以提振精神,最好有個規律性的運動,因為運動是紓解壓力最好的方法。另外,每天赤腳在草地上走,就可以釋放壓力。

第三就是睡眠,睡眠是非常好的方法。但是,現代人普遍睡不好覺。睡眠品質越好,壓力釋放的速度越快。可是不要等全身非常累了再去睡,很容易睡不著;很累還睡不好,表示肝已經嚴重受損。

第四就是休息,休息和睡眠不同,休息是脫離原來的工作,轉換一個場景。舉例,吃飯的時候不要在原來的辦公桌吃。不要到外面吃,浪費時間,而且外面很多都是癌症食品。儘量帶便當,比較節省時間,吃完之後,留15分鐘來做和上班無關的事。剩下來的時間做腹式呼吸,透過呼吸來放鬆。

第五是飲食,不要吃高壓力的食物,有刺激性的食物都是高壓力食物,越吃這些食物,會使交感神經亢進,有時會刺激身體所有的功能處於警戒狀態。

什麼是高壓力食物?可樂、汽水、咖啡、茶、酒精、香煙、乳製品、肉製品,所有的肉,尤其是經過油處理的肉是壓力最大的。

什麼食物會使心情愉快? 聖經創世紀第 1 29節:上帝說:「看哪,我將遍地上一切結種子的菜蔬,和一切樹上結有殼的果子全賜給你們做食物了。」 心情愉快最重要的食物,蔬菜、水果、五穀雜糧飲食中一個重要的東西可以減輕壓力,就是水。喝水可以減輕壓力,喝好水可以釋放壓力。

第六個釋放壓力的方法是曬太陽,聖經上常講到,日光有治療的功效。很多憂鬱症患者都不愛曬太陽,平常多曬太陽,身體的抗體會增加。

此外,有一個很有趣的現象是,現代人不太愛喝水,但多數人卻認為自己已經喝得夠多了,原來是他們把咖啡、果汁和碳酸飲料等也算進去了。尤其咖啡和茶都有利尿作用,容易造成水分大量流失,所以喜歡喝咖啡、茶的人,喝水得比一般人還多才行。每一天把握三個時辰喝水,保證病痛至少好一半以上。一就是早上起床後喝500cc ,下午3點鐘喝500cc ,晚上9點再喝500cc。不要等到口渴才喝。


怎樣才算睡眠足夠?如何睡好眠?

1. 固定時間入眠
每晚大概約 10 時,最慢11時入睡,如此一來早上6時左右便會自然醒過來。早睡早起型的人,睡眠一般非常規律,有足夠深沈睡眠的時間,讓身體徹底休息。這是最標準又健康的一種生活型態。

2.. 佈置睡眠環境
人腦深處隱藏著一種形似豌豆狀的巧妙腺體,稱為「松果體」,它掌管人體的生理時鐘。松果體在維持人類睡眠機能的正常運作中扮演著重要的角色,它會在適當的時候分泌出一種稱為「褪黑激素」(Melatonin)的神秘賀爾蒙。褪黑激素分泌多的時候,自然我們就會想睡覺;而褪黑激素分泌少的時候,我們自然就會醒過來。松果體被喻為人體的「第三只眼睛」,原因是松果體含了與眼睛相似的色素細胞,對光具有同樣的敏感度,它會根據接收到的光量多少,來決定褪黑激素的分泌量。當我們的眼睛感應不到光線的時候,便會傳達命令到松果體分泌褪黑激素,讓我們進入睡眠。所以如果非要點燈的話,位置最好在低於床的位置以下,避免眼睛接觸到光線。

3. 運用腹式呼吸
一般我們呼吸是利用肺,它是淺、短的呼吸。而腹式呼吸則是深、沈的呼吸,例如吐納功。吸氣時,鼻子吸氣嘴巴閉氣,將腹部充滿氣,吐氣時則相反,以嘴部吐氣而不從鼻子吐氣,氣一定要吐到盡頭。這樣的呼吸法,不僅在運動時使用,在平時更可利用這樣的方式吐納。特別是有恐懼焦慮病症的患者。

4. 睡前 2小時不飲食
飲食和睡眠的關係密切,有時候睡前喝過咖啡,於是眼睜睜坐到天亮;有時候吃得太飽的話,又會發惡夢;有時候空著肚子睡覺,整晚又會輾轉難眠。最好在睡前2 3 小時就完全停止一切飲食。

5. 保持愉快的心情
失眠的眾多原因之中,以心理因素最是普遍。只要精神鬆弛下來,自然可以輕易入睡。因為緊張而無法入睡的人,通常都被「我為什麼總是睡不著?」這念頭所困擾。有些人一上床便不斷強逼自己必須入睡,弄得精神非常緊張,如此當然不可能入睡了。


培養健康的習慣】

流汗是排肺毒最好的方法,所以一定要想辦法流汗,尤其是天氣炎熱的時候,因為天氣炎熱就是要讓我們流汗。可是現代人一感覺到炎熱就躲到房間,打開冷氣,流汗的機會自然變少了,身體怎麼會好?現在的人呼吸系統普遍不好,就是經常待在冷氣房,流汗的機會減少了,肺毒不容易排出去。所以,千萬不要排斥流汗,否則呼吸系統的毒排不出去,將造成身體的傷害。流汗以後一定要喝水,而且不要等到口渴再喝,想到就喝,養成喝水的習慣,坐下來就喝水,不斷地上廁所,這樣可以把腎臟刷洗乾淨。喝水很重要,尤其早上起床後,還沒有刷牙前,先喝下500 - 600cc,能讓你整夜凝結的美好唾液,通過胃與腸道,把累積在大腸幾十年的宿便排出來,感覺非常好!

This is a letter from our trainer - Keri.

You will see how important self-development learning is! One of our classmates ( BB and I in the NLP) had suicide experience but she got out of that period. Many have serious setbacks in business, careers and family issues , divorce and many serious diseases, but all got of of their circles after studying NLP and  /or Money and You and all look much happier after one or two years and many have developed their own businesses just because they have learned this - you are what you think. DON"T ALWAYS DESPITE ME BY SAYING 高/大/空. I desperately want you to be happy and that affect our life as well.

In the "Unlimited Power" by Tony Robins, we find he had serious debt and found to have head tumor, but he got up successfully and recovered after trimming off 30 excess weight. He says: WHEN your body  changes, so does your mind." It is true, absolutely true.

Kit, I strongly advise you to take a serious self-development course that will make you happier and get out of your present circle and find your new potential. Retirement is not the end of your self-development but a new start. Aging will be very quickly end our life if we are not continuously learning and find POSITIVE THINKING CAN KILL deadly cells. I have read many successful stories on this.

Whenever I am not happy , I  think about your mother because she had been fighting for life for more than 10 years. WHY? She just want to set an example that LIFE IS THE MOST PRECIOUS gift our parents give us. You are Father, you need to set us an example for your son as well. Negative  thing about your life only makes us painful. What our child is doing is an image of what we have been doing. That is why I need to be careful about our own behaviors and attitude.

Eugene and I have all been through the courses and find : life is a choice and you are what you think. It is your thinking system which determine your happiness and destination, not anything else. This is hard to believe if you are not aware how little we know ourselves if we don't learn NLP or Money and You or any valuable courses. Although we have learnt these theories, we are far from being unconditional happiness. That is why we will practice and learn continuously.

If you don't want to spend any money ON your own, you should not  waste the 10000HKD education fee from government for everyone in HK  below 65.

Someone has sent an email  about NLP in Chinese in next email. I and BB strongly recommend you to take a smilier course, Otherwise you will not be happy even you are out of government: A key to find happiness without affecting by any other factors - THE TREE OF LIFE IS about how to live in happiness  unconditionally  That is why I love the firm so much.

A breakthrough in Speaking English and speech leaning



8-9-11

The 7-day's most intensive course in my life finally came to an end. It must have been one of the longest weeks in my life. I was completely exhausted. I slept 4 hours or less each day... but i made it.



Our trainer is an experienced presenter, host and coach, working in Entertainment for many years. She is so charming, I wonder she was an Miss America.

http://www.kerimurphy.com/



I haven't had a sense of breakthrough for many years until yesterday I did my presentation drill for 30 minutes and today 40 minutes WITHOUT AND HINT CARDS or outline cards and of course no scrip to be allowed.



Actually yesterday was the first breakthrough. I found if I could do 30 min, 40 to 60 min would be not a problem. Then it has been proved today's presentation exam with 40 min was much relaxed than the 30 min.



For me, it is a tremendous improvement in spoken English as well presentation skills which I have never learnt before. If you listened to TONY ROBINS" speech or Chris', that is the scenario we were trained to create to the audience. I got so many incredible challenges to my comfort zone, in return, I also got huge fulfillment. In the end called Closing, we need to sell our services or products or ask for fund raising. Just exactly like Chris Howard's Breakthrough to Success.

Not power point allowed but full of inspiring stories and personal experience of expertise were involved. At the beginning, I coludn't believe this system - who can remember so many words.

I like the part - Closing as it flowed so well and organic. I found they were quite interested and they felt it was a real situation. But it is only a dream, more realistic now for me. The presentation became a “business proposal” in an emotional way for me, honestly.



Only this part was not written but there was only an outline. Why could I do it the best? I believe it is because I have working experience, which made me feel pretty easier and organic. I need to be sincerer and passionate as I had been done successfully as insurance agent. If I trust my products, as they have left me up to next level in quality of life and spiritually happiness, customers will trust you and buy from you. That is a hidden value, not the product, but your passion and confidence.

I dared to be televised this time as a testimonial. I now have no hesitation to speak to native foreigners as they have taught me so much these days.



There were plenty things to be surprised, not only from the courses but from the classmates as many of them are already professional English speakers and presenters but still came to learn to improve.



Wendy, who could only speak a little bit English, finally he managed to speak for 10 minutes without scripts. So inspiring and awesome. Soness is my mentor in the training. You know her. She is an America presenter and actress, NLP trainer in University of Japan. She said I made her feel so proud. I was amazed. The strictest evaluator Vivian said she was relieved to see my improvement. I was so grateful for all the group mates and evaluator, esp. Sonness and Vivian help. Kari, of course, the first I need to thank to for her turning such long, intensive days into a fun, charming, exciting moment.

Some of them are already millionaires or billionaires with so many speech experience but they were so humbler to learn and found to have reward so much.



The big relevance is that learning communication skills is a lifelong education, through learning we found so many opportunities and potential to expand in ourselves and for our career or business.


I found all students here are very special and superbly creative, including me, I dare to say. “Everyone can be good story tellers and public speakers.” I have to say I started to believe this. Some of them are already in those positions but still keep improving.



Andrew , a bright, young computer guy, was in my group in the final presentation,. I learnt so much from him. He started to use speech to develop his business. He is a wonderful story teller.


Almost everyone was so unique and powerful speaker in the last day.







My relection on Platform Presentation Skill Intensive




Dear Gen,
Hopefully my last email about the course will not scare you but inspire you instead. I forgot to tell it, the course was full of hibernating and real life games. We pretended to be an object or anything living or non-living things, which said something to express themselves, I forgot the name of the action. We also practiced how to handle objections and hostile comments - attack in presentation or unfriendly responses. That was the most fun part of all. You have to play full out to learn and put down self-ego and esteem.

 One interesting thing is different evaluators and groups mates could gave completely different  or opposite response. But the strictest evaluator happened to be in my group twice. I was a bit scared of her but just faced it. She even interrupted my presentation when she couldn’t bear my presenter’s stance – too nervous I was and I couldn’t stop moving my hands. She was too abnormal and too serious, wasn’t she? She strongly advised me to brush my sentences up and make them hit to the point instead wasting time because only 40 min to cover so many things.

At first I didn’t feel comfortable to her but I absolutely knew she was like parents who earnestly wanted me to pick up quickly and grow up. Then I found a way to make a difference.

 1.      To bring audience into an state that you want them to trance in, like normal communication system

55% physical

 35% tonality

7% words

So I need to use more body languages with purpose. That means I have to know what I am talking about and try to use movements to help me to hit the point.

 Everyday back home, I spent lots of time on rephrasing the script. But if I tried to recite the script, that is not speech and not organic at all and will make people asleep. So I tried to model Kari, the trainer’s tonality and accent and things became much better. 

 In the final presentation, I gathered all I learnt ( satire, stage anchors, phrasal anchors and tonality, courage and concentration) and tried to apply them because I started to be much relaxed in my wordings and I could use more left brain to  bring audience into imagination, or the situations I was try to deliver.

 Here I learnt how to use Time Management effectively and powerfully. 

One of my groupmate, came to me and appreciated me to enlighten her to know there are so many families in HK or the world are suffering depression.  She said she never realize this until this moment.

That was the time I found I could influence others by speech.

Now I know my presentation problems and know how to improve. The only thing I need to do is taking action. Don't let the passion fade.

There are four natives in the class, besides Soness, the other one of them is an English teaching. Just to see how they improve from their practice from 5 min to 40 min was already a big learning.

Although I was trying to help people to manage stress, I didn’t show I had the power during presentation but made them more nervous for me. That was the early days’ response. True, my voice was almost lost because I was absolutely in the tension that made me feel so exhausted and my cold was getting worse at the early days. But magically, I became better and better with confidence enhancement day by day without taking heavy medicine that I usually need, except vitamins.  The final day was the most joyful day despite the final presentation not yet starting.

This is a lesson again that POSITIVE THINKING CAN IMPROVE OUR IMMUNITY. All fears are imaginary. Fears are normal, not a problem. Even the professional presenter Sonnes felt nervous, she said. (That is why we need to change. )The problem is if we dare to face it, not avoid it. Fears lead to frustration and frustration lead to curiosity and curiosity lead to change.  One has to go through the challenge to attain the ability - to be peaceful and resourceful. So in the future, there are so many similar cases, you will perform better and show your leadership.

Another lesson is DON’T COMPARE WITH OTHERS, but with self. Some of the fears are from comparison and self- ego. Too care on other’s negative comment is not necessary. Just be yourself and learn from mistakes and how to use the techniquesl to make your own style shine.

I must thank your father's support and understanding. He was so patient and nice guy during these days. I could not spare any time on housework but he did lots. I was so grateful to him.
