Thx Yoke Wah for helping leechie to reserve a front row seat for this seminar...Joey had alrdy started speaking when i walked into the seminar room...v.interesting talk by Joey today =)
Joey covered various aspects of bazi, face-reading, fengshui n date-selection in this 1 day seminar...he talked abt our destiny being made up of 50% internal factors (character, personality traits, behaviors, attitudes and beliefs) and 50% external factors (events, ppl such as family, frenz&colleagues, opportunities and economy). Awareness, realization n change! ur experiences will bring out the good in u or set u back...n every 10 yrs tt u go through will add on to ur experiences...n why u keep going through the same stuff over n over again...he said our willpower n techniques r v.impt in determining our destiny...n tt nobody can predict ur free will!!!
N i agree with Joey tt our ultimate purpose is to be happy! money is not everything...discretionary time is impt too...but how many ppl actually understand a leechie n understand tt underneath the glamorous facade lies a lonely soul who is slogging like hell?! i admit tt i'm a free-spirit n i hate to be controlled...but honestly, i dont even know how to be happy! haiz >.<"
opportunity + preparation = good fortune
He talked abt anything n everything tt u want in life come from other ppl...so it would help if we can understand others better ya =) he mentioned abt spending time vs investing time with the right ppl...according to Joey, ur pedigree is determined by who u know...he also talked abt the law of selecting frenz based on face reading...was quite amused by his description of some of the facial features (he has a Cantonese description for each type which i couldnt really understand)...lol ;p
Joey covered the main characteristics, strengths n weaknesses of each of the 5 structure types...pretty interesting ;p
Managers (wealth structure) like to b in control n r responsible, extremely bossy n perfectionist...does tt sound familiar? ;p btw, Joey has this wealth structure...n Yoke Wah really seems to idolize Joey v.muchie...but she was saying tt it's hard to live with ppl with wealth structure type...i guess it's hard to live up to their expectations eh? o.O"
He suggested tt ppl with supporter (influence structure) shldnt start from scratch, shld juz takeover a failed company n restructure n make things better...they shld look for those organizations in trouble or r broken in some way...n then go in n follow the rules n fix everything! btw, Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg n Steven Spielberg all hav supporter structure B-)
Thinkers (resource structure) r v.analytical n suspicious ppl....they r v.happy cruching the facts n figures...the type who can analyze-until-paralyzed type ;p but they can become easily depressed...his suggested remedy for this case would be to stop thinking...lol ;p btw, he suggested tt we let them be unhappy cos they r actually quite happy being unhappy...lol ;p well, tt kinda reminds me of someone eh? ;p btw, Warren Buffet n Steve Jobs have resource structure o.O
Connectors (companion structure) tend to be the deal-makers...they find resources n connect them...n ppl r the resources...their wealth is linked to who they know...n connectors r amongst the most wealthy ppl in society! n they seem to do nothing but talk...Joey gave the analogy of lalangs...they can become the person tt they r talking to for a while...n can be likeable if they want...they r good at blending in n getting along with others...n some connectors can appear to be rather aimless, they dunno what they want in life n dunno what they r doing...n they juz drift along in life...so the goal for them is to meet as many ppl as possible...cos the more ppl they meet, the more resources they'll have...does this description sound like someone? ;p
Creators (output structure) r creative n r suitable to be in mkting...the fun ppl tt u would wanna have at ur party! ;p
Btw, can u guess what's leechie main n sub structure types? ;p i guess mine is more of a mixture of the various structure types but a few tend to be more predominant...but might not be tt obvious? ;p
N if u have any of the elements missing, Joey recommended tt u forget abt what's missing n work on ur strengths instead! i realized tt ppl tend to b drawn towards what's lacking in their bazi...i guess humans always want what they do not have ya...n take alot of stuff for granted eh...i know i'm always drawn to what's more challenging n difficult to achieve...i'm only human >.<"
"One of the greatest things in life is that no one has the authority to tell you what you want to be. You're the one who'll decide what you want to be." ~ Jaime Escalante (1930-2010)
so when i grow up, i wanna be a leech! ;p
Joey mentioned abt how the one tt we like dont seem to fancy us but y those tt we dont fancy r interested in us...haiz...life's so complicated...something tt i'm currently facing...haiz >.<" n he also mentioned tt he has not seen any ladies with low nose bridge who marry well...talking abt ladies with low nose bridge n the image of pretty Fann Wong comes to mind...she's much more wealthy than the guy she chose to marry despite having tons of wealthy suitors o.O"
Well, a leechie happened to be at the right place at the right time again n i won a copy of Joey's latest book at their Q&A session (in fact, i gave 2 correct answers n the MC had to think of another question to ask for the next person...lol ;p) v.interesting talk by Joey today n i bot tix to Joey's next seminar in Jan 2012...looking forward to it =)
Btw, my silly Samsung camera is acting silly these days again...n many pics turned out v.blur -.-" Yoke Wah took many pics before capturing the above main pic...not sure if Joey might feel abit sianz with my silly camera esp with the loooooooooong q building up! o.O" but thought tt he looks good in earth tones n i like his cute dimples! ;p
Interesting Quotes from Joey Yap:
"Almost everything we want in life comes from the help of other people. If we can connect better with people, we will have higher chances for success.
There are three types of people we should strive to have in our close personal network.
1. People who have the answers and solutions you need. Or at least can help you connect to those w...ho do. (Meaning - find someone who can teach you what you need to know to be better or solve your problems.)
2. People who can do what you can't. People with special skills, skills you don't have. (It takes longer time to learn something you are not talented in. Better to seek help from those who are already good.)
3. People who already have the resources you need." ~ Joey Yap
"What if you are suddenly given a huge business opportunity and you knew for a fact that it's a chance of a lifetime and you want to pursue it?? ..... but you can't do it alone and you need to pull a group of people to help you.
Would you ...put an ad on the paper advertising for a business partner? enlist the aid of people who give yo...u the most trouble? Would you work with someone whom you don't like?
Most likely not. You'd probably be looking amongst your close pool of friends. If you all of you share the same level of competence and skills, you'd most likely go for the one that you LIKE most to partner with.
Given a choice, people always work with people they LIKE.
So my recommendation to a client today was - always try your best to be LIKABLE. Do your best to connect better with people. " ~ Joey Yap
Looks like Yoke Wah was greatly amused with what Joey said...leechie is the one with her head bowed n busy taking notes...see how hardworking i am ya? ;p

So go ahead and complain … or maybe not. You’ve got to catch yourself because no one’s going to do it for you, probably because they’re doing it, too." ~ Harv
