NeoConMan Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Applying the techniques of Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese system of aesthetics, to broken and neglected things in your home and office can help you make a better investment in your financial future, according to Certified Feng Shui Practitioner Carol M. Olmstead. Feng Shui is the art and science of placing things to help you attract what you want into your life, especially wealth, harmony and love. "If you ignore things that need to be repaired, replaced or removed, you set an intention of poverty rather than prosperity," she said. "Although most people would rather buy a new flat screen TV than fix a toilet, in the long run it's a better investment in your financial future when you spend money on the less glamorous stuff." Here are Olmstead's top 10 Feng Shui fast fixes to attract wealth: 1. Clean your front door. The front door is where all good energy enters your home. A clean door attracts prosperity while a dirty or faded door repels it. 2. Replace burned-out light bulbs. If your rooms are dark, so is your financial future. Replace burned-out bulbs and brighten your possibilities to attract wealth. 3. Clean your windows. Windows are the eyes of your home. Dirty windows cloud vision. Clean windows represent a clear view of the opportunities. 4. Remove dead plants. Dead plants symbolize dead energy. Replace them with healthy living plants to grow wealth in your life. 5. Replace your desk chair. If you sit on a broken, stained or torn desk chair, it represents disregard for your work. Get a new chair and improve your career outlook. 6. Repair broken mirrors. If you look at a broken mirror, you can't see things smoothly. Remove or replace it to reflect a smooth road to prosperity. 7. Keep the toilet lid down. If your toilet lids are open, you are symbolically flushing your finances away. Keep lids down and keep your wealth. 8. Fix drips and leaks. Leaking water represents leaking wealth. Stop the leak, especially in the kitchen, and you will stop the drain of your abundance. 9. Tighten loose door knobs and handles. If your handles are loose, you cannot get a grip on your money. Tighten them and wealth will be within your grasp. 10. Clean your stove. Food is related to wealth, so clean your stove frequently and immediately fix any nonworking burners.

NeoConMan Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 It's a fine line.... :-) Nah, most of it is displayed as humor or offbeat interests to relieve the mind-numbing data reading we do. They do have some propaganda tendencies at times, but it's in-house and facility related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he the one what coined the phrase "Flab-ba-dap" and "Ging-ging" The way most of his 'people's' shoes / toes bent down when they walk was just hillarious.!
