<p>리더 알렉스 입니다.</p><p>따뜻한 날씨에 심쿵하네요 ^^</p><p> </p><p>모레 봐요~</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>[TOPIC 1] Fortune telling</strong> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Chinese believe that the face can be used to predict the future and fortune of an individual. Fortune telling from the face has a long history stretching back over five millennia and its most famous ancient exponents were Tanju Ju and Xi Jong who wrote books during the Eastern Chou Dynasty (770-256 BC). </p><p> </p><p>Facial fortune telling considers the shape of all the major features of the face: the combination of these features and their relative yin and yang properties determine a person’s destiny and fortune. Ten facial types are recognised- feng, mu, shen, tian, tong, wang, jia, yang, yuan and you. Each facial type has its own fate characteristics: for example, mu features denote intelligence but bad gambling luck and feng features denote an intelligent person fortunate in their endeavours. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Palm reading </p><p> </p><p>Similar to western palm readers, Chinese divination believes that the lines on the palms of the hand can predict a person’s fortune, attitude, health, character, marriage fortune etc. Palm reading in China can be traced back about 3 millennia to the period of the Chou dynasty, when a book on the subject was written by Shi Shu Fu. </p><p> </p><p>Palmistry is divided into two subfields: cheirognomy (concentrating on the fingers) and cheiromancy (concentrating on the palm). </p><p> </p><p>Chinese palmistry classifies palm types into seven groups: psychic (idealistic sort), natural (lowest sort of person), mixed and squarish (useful sorts), spatulate (anxious sort), philosophical (confused sort), and conical (artistic sort). The finger bones, joints, nails and the elbow are examined in Chinese palmistry. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Fortune Sticks </p><p> </p><p>The oldest known method of fortune telling in the world is known as Kau Chime - a set of 78 numbered sticks held in a bamboo case. Holding the container in both hands and shaking it causes one of the sticks to rise and fall out. The number on the stick is cross referenced with ancient texts, and a fortune told. </p><p> </p><p>The fortune is generally a short poem or rhyme, and the point is not so much to have a clear picture of the future, but an indication of the possibilities which lie ahead. The Chinese are not, by and large, fatalistic, though they hold many superstitious beliefs. Therefore, having one's fortune told is more an indication of the conditions ahead rather than actual events. </p><p> </p><p>The opportunity therefore exists for people to make the most of their lives by being more aware of the 'environmental conditions' which surround their lives. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Questions</strong></p><p> </p><p>1. Do you think our lives have been destined since we’re born? </p><p>2. Do you believe fortunetelling or horoscope? Tell reasons that you believe them or not? </p><p>3. Have you ever read your fortune in the newspaper or Internet? If so, what is the reason? And how do you feel when it says your luck is bad or good? </p><p>4. If fortuneteller tells you to break up with your girl/boy friend, will you follow it? </p><p>5. If your parents are strongly against your marriage because she/he is not suitable for marital affinity, are you willing to marry her/him? </p><p>6. If you want to do something new for your future but fortuneteller says you must have different job, what would you decide for your life? </p><p>7. If you have big problems, or are in a dilemma, how do you get over them? </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>[TOPIC 2] How to Achieve Goals</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Goals constitute a major part of an individual's life, without which he might be aimlessly drifting. For knowing how to achieve goals in life, the primary ingredient you need to have is strong determination. Apart from that, this article gives some fundamental guidelines and steps to achieve them.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Essentials of Achieving Goals and Ambitions</p><p> </p><p>There are some important things that you need to possess if you want to achieve goals at your workplace, or in your personal lives. If you are thinking of how to attain them, you should, first and foremost, believe in yourself that you can and will do it. Often, we are not able to reach our goals in life just because we presume that we do not have the capability to do so. If you have a strong belief in yourself, it will also increase your confidence in overcoming all the hurdles that come in your way. Think of successful personalities who set their goals, struggled very hard, did not give up, and finally achieved what they actually wanted to. This will certainly give you more motivation to do better.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Note Down All Your Goals</p><p> </p><p>You need to make a list of the goals that you intend to aim at. There can be many in your personal as well as professional life. List all of them according to how would you want to achieve them. Sort all your personal and professional ones as per your priority list.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Creation of Plans</p><p> </p><p>The next step is to create a plan and strategy for achieving these goals. Think of all possible steps to achieve them in the prescribed time frame. For instance, if you have a simple goal of losing weight in two months, you need to strategize your diet and workout routines, according to the set time limit. Similarly, for achieving other goals, you would need to prepare plans and routines that would open doors for success.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Action According to the Set Plans</p><p> </p><p>The next step in moving towards your set goal is to take necessary actions, according to the plans and strategies. While performing these actions, see to it that you are not doing more than what is really required. Try your best to focus on one goal at a time. There are many people who try to achieve multiple goals simultaneously. As a result, they experience stress, lack of motivation, low confidence, and other issues like these. It is better to give complete effort to one target that is on the top of your priority list.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Manage Time Appropriately</p><p> </p><p>While working on the set plans and strategies, you should also make sure that you do the tasks in the appropriate time. If you happen to take too much time, the goal-seeking plan may become somewhat ineffective and get disturbed. Time management is especially very crucial when trying to fulfill the targets and goals at your workplace.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Questions</strong> </p><p> </p><p>1. What is your biggest goal in life? </p><p>2. Is having a goal in life effective in becoming successful? </p><p>3. What are your goals in your current job? </p><p>4. Which of your goals have you already achieved? </p><p>5. Do you think it's a good idea to write your goals down and tick them off as you achieve them? </p><p>6. What do you hope to have achieved by the time you're sixty? </p><p>7. Do you have a five year plan for your life? </p><p>8. What kind of success do you want in the future in your life? </p><p>9. Do you think that money and fame means success? </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
