People Set the Wrong Goals and Achieve Them!

People Set the Wrong Goals and Achieve Them! 

The worse thing that ever happens to anyone is NOT to never set goals, or to set goals and never achieve them, but to set the wrong goals and achieve them! 

Many people don't even know that they set the wrong goals. 

Sun Tzu in the Art of War first sentence said that the Art of War is very important, for it determines your life and death.  

The entire chapter 1 of the Art of War talks about planning. It says that you must do this right or you will die.  He listed the 5 criteria for any goals.  They are Dao Tian Di Jiang Fa. 

So when you set the wrong goals, you are on the wrong path.  Worse still is to achieve your wrong goals! 

What are wrong goals?

1. Make a lot of money ($xxx) this year 
2. Get promoted in my career
3. Get elected as President of my association

4. Get my child to score A in his exams

5. Slim down 5 kg

The above are examples of wrong goals.  To know if your goals are right or wrong, come for our zoom seminar

"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.

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).
