Are Your Skin Thin and Your Heart White?

Me teaching the audience the Jim Rohn's 5 Puzzles of Life 

Like you, I as a Coach and Trainer am also human and very often are concerned of what makes me feel good that I sometimes forget what makes me great.

Yet I know that a successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one’s own path, and not chasing the dreams of others.

I also know that Character is not made of sunshine and roses. Like steel, character is forged in fire, between the hammer and the anvil.

So I find the ‘Thick Face Black Heart’ concept by Chin-ning Chu so useful. Because Thick Face Black Heart is not about ruthlessness.

It is about adapting and adopting non-destructive ruthlessness, to gain the freedom in action necessary to achieve effectiveness in the execution of your task.

We all have the innate power within us: Thick Face is the Shield while Black Heart is the Spear.

A Thick Face person has the ability to put Self Doubt aside. His confidence instills confidence in others. And that creates more success for the team.

A Black Heart person is above short-sighted compassion and dare to do things that few dare to do. Like cutting cost and chopping heads. And getting the team to do the impossible.

So my friend, adopt Thick Face Black Heart concept to your life and you'll achieve success in your life!

"Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
