Your Profile = People's Acceptance of You

We know that in WeChat, you can simply add strangers as your friends using 'People Nearby' feature, search for contacts and add from Groupchats.  But what determines people's acceptance of you is your profile.  

Your Profile must have the following features for people to accept you readily: 

1. Use Your Real Name, not Psesodonym 

2. A proper or Professional photo that is not far from your real self

3. 'Whats up' to state what you are currently most occupied with.  If you put in things like 'Like to add new friends', it shows that you are more a seller than a real contact.  This will put people off.  

4. Use both Chinese and English names, because 90% of WeChat users are Chinese but they also like English names

5. Do not expose your phone number in your profile, for it shows that you are too hard-up for business and people will fear to accept you as their friend

For instance, my profile (search for me under the ID 'AndyTheCoach') is 吴家发 Andy 新加坡 培训师

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...
