Afterthoughts (1/3) on Master Yun: The Philosophy of Prosperity in Feng Shui Paintings (NTU, Singapore)

Who would have thought that a Fengshui Master would be invited by a university for a talk?

Well, at least for me, the topic on Fengshui is pretty controversial to the mass, let alone to be presented in a tertiary institution. But yes, it did happen, and it was definitely a must-go for me to learn and understand from Master Yun, especially when I was told that the last time Master Yun had such a talk (more than a decade ago), every single audience was required to pay a couple of hundred dollars. 

The Key 3 Take-Aways For Me:

1. Real prosperity does not exist by just saving up / reducing investment

This was illustrated during his first topic where he shared about the financial formula by financial expert. With the same amount of income / revenue, there would come a point whereby reduction in investment would not result in optimal profit.

Master Yun used the example of a chicken rice stall owner who charged $10 (income / revenue) per plate. In the initial stage, a suitable reduction in investment would result in more profit. However, if the chicken rice stall owner thought he could maximise his profit by reducing his investment to max (eg sell chicken rice, without chicken, haha!), then he would be in trouble because that would never happen.

With the profession of a marketer as my career, it makes absolute sense to me because I have seen companies who think they can increase their profit by reducing their investment in marketing greatly and yet, at the end, that is not the wisest choice. 

Saving up is important but one must remember that it does not bring you the real prosperity if saving up means you giving up opportunities that may bring you to another level.

So, how can we enhance our chance to obtain exponential growth in prosperity regardless of the economy situations?

Some of you may think, "Well, those rich people are lucky to have those opportunities come knocking onto their door / they are lucky to meet benefactors etc etc." I can't deny that they are lucky and I also think that some of them are also willing to spend (not just monetarily, it is also time and effort) before they get that exponential growth.

That is exactly the situation my husband and I were in before we joined Lotus. He used to be a thrifty and was taught that the best way to grow his wealth or have a stable life was to save up. Can you imagine the struggle he had internally when I persuaded him to go ahead and purchase his first jadeite?

I told him, "If you continue to save up that $10k in your bank, it will give you the assurance that the money is sitting somewhere safe but you will never be able to see where that $10K may bring you to if you do not take the leap of faith with Lotus. The worst that can happen is that it does not work, you lose $10K, you learn a lesson, you continue to save and life moves on." 

To be honest, I also did not know if it would work but he was in his mid-thirties then and he totally had no time to waste. I mean, how many 30 years can anyone have? 

Fast forward till today, we have been with Lotus for slightly over 2 years and we can never express our gratitude enough. We are indeed lucky because I never think of visiting Lotus all my life and of course, never think of asking my husband to spend $10k on something at one go just like that. However, we work very hard as well after buying the items.

We do not belong to the group of customers who have their success come almost right away after they purchase from Lotus. We can complain and second-guess on why they are so quick in getting their success but we are not fast enough. But we choose to continue to have strong faith, do what we need to do (and sometimes work the extra mile), make sure we have the right mindset, continue to learn from every single situation and people we come across. And here we are, in a better situation than 2 years ago and looking to achieving our life goals and even more.

My advice to you, is really to take your first step now to experience real prosperity with Lotus on Water.

I look forward to welcome you to Lotus.

See you soon!
