Okay, what in Hell is an " emoticon " ?

 

Was this a joke?

Yep. Ouch. I was in a hurry and sent it away accidentally without

that little story. I had that little story marked out (page 109

Secret Science at Work) but neglected to include it. Right after

sending it, I noticed that and removed it. Then I resent it again

with the story in it.

Yep. Another person I love reading/studying is Christian writer Zig

Ziglar. Very intelligent and his metaphors are amazing. All healing

energy practitioners might want to study, " See YOU At The Top " .

I think that most people do not know what " irony " means. It seems

they think it must mean " axxhole " or something derogatory, when it

really means " the use of words to signify the opposite of what they

actually said " , ie, " " When he lost his wallet he said, 'This is my

LUCKY day.' "

Yep, which is the reason I put that story in there.

I find it AMAZING how some people can be offended by the most

innocent statement, if a Wood element or a Metal element says it.

 

What I find even more weird is what Fire elements can do, that is

much worse as far as language, and everyone loves them. Nomally Fire

elements are happy and have a smile on their face.

 

Now us Wood elements would say, " yes, but it seems to be a fake

smile to me! " And the Earth element would answer back, " A fake smile

is much better than a glum face! "

 

My answer to that incongruency, is to adopt FIRE (and a bit of EARTH)

when I give my super intensives, and to be Wood/Metal when I write my

books and mind map my DVD's, and CD's. Then to turn on the Fire/Earth

when I actually do the presentations.

 

In the presentations you must get the energies of the audience in

tune and moving the same direction. Woods can do that, but it is more

like the military bootcamp. Metals can do that but the entire class

is fast asleep after 5 minutes.

 

Fires do that portion better than all the rest.

 

When writting, the structure of Metal is necessary and the specifics

of Metal are necessary.

 

Of course mixed into this must be the 13 primary motivators that

people have and they must be structured around the 4 primary reasons

people learn anything.

 

> when you are Wood or Metal (or both) and thus ALWAYS right!.:-)

 

Yes Sue, that makes sense. Since I am Wood/Metal, I must always be

right! Makes perfect sense to me. Group I'm using irony again! It's a

form of humor.

 

What in Hell is an emoticon?

 

 

Ps. Sue, I really did enjoy working with you at the CP. You sense of

humor is actually one of my high points of that trip.
