myfs_149545 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Sir;Based on my BaZi ; I am weak Yin Wood therefore my favorable element is water and wood; however based on my five element balance; I am lack of Fire element(Fire:0.5%;Wood:10%;Water:12.5%; Soil:22%;Metal:54%),so Fire is my lucky element.Could you please advise which one will take precedence or which element should be paid more attention for determining the suitable job and color.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted April 11, 2011 Staff Share Posted April 11, 2011 1. In general; determing the suitable job looks more at the OVERAL element. For example, if one is considered as a WEAK wood person; then Water is the best element to improve weak wood. While wood career is like adding wood to wood..vs water that gives it a boost. As a weak wood person, there is another type of career known as "Power and Authority". Here, one can rise to high positions if say: the element is Earth. However,being a weak wood person;this earth element is not suitable unless the career has "water" element in it.2. You wrote: "I am lack of Fire element(Fire:0.5%;Wood:10%;Water:12.5%; Soil:22%;Metal:54%),"Please note that breakdown of the five element changes depending on one's age. Thus for some; it can even change drastically between periods. 3. Please see attached illustration. This sample person's percentages between age 11 to 20 is different from his percentage when he is 31 to 40. Look at his Earth percentage and Wood percentage. As mentioned under Para 2, above; there are some who has a higher change of percentages for different elements every 10 years of their life span.4. Therefore; realistically, most geomancers would based the career on their element and strength. For example: weak wood or strong wood or weak earth or strong earth person; etc...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted April 16, 2011 Staff Share Posted April 16, 2011 Based on Strategic Management; any business can be classified into two layers:-1. The industry the business is in.Here, for example; you could be working in any of the "water" element industries such as:Advertising, Arts,Brewing, Communications, Computers, Drinks, Healing, Laundry,Literature, Manufacturing,Media, Music, Therapyfficeffice" />2. What are you specifically hired as? Yourprincipal core job scope or job function or skills.Building Management,Customer relations, Civil engineering,Construction foreman, Customer Relations, Employee Relations, EstateManagement, Food industry - F & B, Real Estate, Recruitment, SportsFor example, your were hired by a drinks company such as Coca Cola to manage their bottling plant.

myfs_140701 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hi Master Lee,How about a corporate communications role in the education industry? Is it suitable for a strong earth person? I cannot seem to find the element for education on the website.I have read that some classified it under 'water' while some under 'wood'.Thank you.Best RegardsJaslyin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted June 17, 2011 Staff Share Posted June 17, 2011 WARNING! The writing below isnot for the "simpleton"... More academic ... in nature...Don't blameme if one can't understand.. it... I did warn U.. But U did not listen!1. We can take cue from the paradox known as "The Continuum fallacy" (Neither at the extremes end of Hot or Cold - in between) 2. Here, education system cannot be considered as distinctively Wood or Water Element. (or even a mix of other elements). 3. This is because between Wood or Water there exists a continuum of states. 4. For example: Even in dull subjects like Accountancy; there are applied concepts such as "Creative Accounting". 5. Even in the study of Marketing; there are some topics that depends sterlie understanding of the concepts or parigdms. 6. Even for us humans; even if there is a continuum of Hot or Cold; we can't simply drink boiling hot water. Often, we go for lukewarm water especially for babies or children. 7. Thus, even for teachers: and for any subject; many "smart" teachers would often try to make their topic interesting (Water element) while for some topics.. no choice have to be "dry" (Wood element). 8. Therefore again; education must not be considered belonging only to Wood OR Water and considered as DISTINCT. In real-life it exists in a continuum neither at the two extremes but somewhere along the continuum. Quote On 6/17/2011 8:44:24 PM, Anonymous wrote:These are someconsiderations:1.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 23, 2013 Staff Share Posted January 23, 2013 In my opinion, from my personal understanding: 1. To many, the subject of Marketing may seem exactly the same or identical to Sales; 2. But if one has studied the fundamentals of Marketing and in detail; marketing is usually one level before sales. 2.1. In Marketing, one studies not about the bird or the bees but for those who have studied the subject it is about the cows and stars etc.... 2.2. Here, there is a difference between being a Marketing manager vs a Sales person. 2.3. A marketing manager for example; recommends and sets prices, the type of product strategies for the company. A marketing manager may use market research information; and direct vs indirect marketing programs. And he monitors the projected sales etc...A marketing person also deals with advertising for the company. And may even be in-charge of a TEAM of Sales-person. 2.4 Thussome marketing person or manager is like an invisible hand running his sales team. He may not need to get his hands dirty.. demonstrating products or trying to close a sale. If we view a marketing person (not a hawker): he/she belongs to the water element. 3. But, if one is given products to sell, and is tasked to "sweet talk" others into buying our company product. Then he/she belongs to the fire element. 4. Of course, if one becomes a Jack of all trades: have to do both marketing and sales (one man operation) type of person then his/her job is now both water and fire element. 5. Thus if one is tasked to sell a type of vacuum cleaner and go house to house: then this is a pure sales person. And not to be confused with a Marketing man.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted April 12, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 12, 2020 Case Study: Favourable elements (colours) are essentially used under Ba Zi Feng Shui. Understand what is Binding Element? Extract of Case Study 5: Applying Ba Zi Feng Shui and Eight House Concept 1. Under Ba Zi Feng Shui: 1.1 Mum's best colours are: Water and her wealth colour is Wood. While Fire is okay for her. 1.2. Son 1's individual best colours are: Metal, Wealth (Water) + Wood elements. 1.3. Son 2's individual best colours are: Water, Wealth (Wood) + Fire elements. 2. Option 1: 2.1. Under Eight House concept 4 Good / Bad directions, Bedroom 2 is suited to Son 1 as it is his longevity sector. 2.2. Bedroom 3 is suited to Son 2 (Health) 2.3. Using Ba Zi Feng Shui: Son 1's best colours in his bedroom 2 are 1. Water, 2. Metal & 3. Wood. 2.4. For Bedroom 3: Using Ba Zi Feng Shui: Son 2's best colours are 1. Water and 2. Wood. But based on Flying Star Feng Shui an additional element = Metal is considered to balance this sector. 3. Option 2: 3.1. Under Ba Zi Feng Shui, if both sons are to occupy bedroom 2, then the binding element or common denominator of colours are used to harmonize this bedroom for Son 1 and 2 i.e. Water and Wood colours. 3.2. As Mum will for the time being occupy Bedroom 3, this bedroom is also harmonized to her.
