Hi,
Can NLP be someone's philosophy of life? No!!!
NLP is just the technique of modeling. How can a technique be a life philosophy!
Furthermore, Traditional NLP just models people's body, mind and their relationship. It lacks the Spirit and Soul elements. It can't be a good philosophy of Life.
Though it can't be a good philosophy of Life, but it can be a philosophy of living. When we can use this technique to model our and others' body, mind and their relationship, we can know how to live better.
But if we can step a bit more "meta", we might be able to use the techique to model the Spirit and Soul Elements. Then, this is no more Traditional NLP. In these few years, I am thinking and researching how we can model these extra elements.

NLP: Definition and Scope of NLP
Hi,
There are always misunderstanding about NLP. Here are some of my opinions:
1. If I can just give only one definition for NLP, I will say: NLP is the modeling of how people thinks.
2. Scope of NLP can include anything about thinking. NLP is just the technique to model people's thinking. Therefore, we can model conscious mind, subconscious mind, unconscious mind and instincts.
We can model Logical Thinking, Emotional Thinking, Volitional Thinking, Responsive Thinking and Conceptual Thinking. We can model beliefs, values, rules, identities and systems. We can also model people's body, mind and their relationship.

Learning from Life #81 - #85
Hi,
Another issue of my Learning from Life Series:
81. The more I "know", the less I learn.
82. We are always doing our best. But if it is still not good enough, we need a better way.
83. Getting old is compulsory, but getting wise is not!
84. We are always evolving. But some animal evolve to extinction!
85. We all want to help others, but we can use the wrong ways!

My Birthday Wish
Hi,
A few days later is my birthday!
My career purpose is to help more people to help more people to see more, in return, I can earn my living.
I devoted most of my time in the past few years accomplishing my purpose. But it is still far from being accomplished.
My birthday wish is to think of a better way to achieve my purpose. There must be a better way. I am sure that I will find a better way before my next birthday!

Simple, but not Easy!
Hi,
One of our friends(Iris Yung) inspired me today. The inspiration gives me an insight.

Learning from Life #76 - #80
Hi,
Here is another part of our Learning from Life Series:
76. Give what others want, but not what you think they want!
77. One needs to take care of his/her body. "It" can't do it by "itself".
78. One can't do his/her best when he/she is tired!
79. Main point can be not the critical point!
80. Creativity comes from the child within.

Graduation of NLP Practitioner in Zhong Shan (中山)
Hi,
I returned from Zhong Shan the day before yesterday.
Last weekend was the last module of NLP Practitioner Training, my first NLP Practitioner Program in Zhong Shan (中山) and in Mainland China.
It is only a very small class, but it is a great class.
Congratuation to all of our 7 graduates, 王蔚青、黃志強、黎德緣、方尉明、陳瑞霞、劉魯平、麥梅. Thanks again for your support in the past months. All of them are really smart people. I learned from them as much, or even more than they learned from me!
The best experience with them is that they all asked smart questions. This makes the class very interactive. Their smart questions forced me to think and deliver more.
Lesson Learned: Smart questions are more important than smart answers!
Keith
P.S. The same principle applies to Coaching. We ask good questions and expect our coachees giving great answers!

Systemic Leadership Seminar
Hi,
As mentioned in my previous post, I did the Systemic Leadership Seminar last Saturday. We had around four hundred something people participating the event.
If you missed this event, don't worry, I plan to do it again in the near future. Why? Because I don't think I was doing very good this time.
I regret a bit that I was trying to present something too complex in too short the time. Result: Participants might not be able to grasp the major ideas!
Lesson Learned: Less is sometimes "More"!
When I do it again, I will simplify the ideas. Don't worry again. You will not get less. Remember, less is sometimes more!

Systemic Thinking: Systemic Blindness
Hi,
Answer the following questions, honestly:
1. Do you always find yourself having not enough time?
2. Do you always not know how to do something?
3. Do you always not know the reasons why doing something, but you still do it?
4. Do you always feel worry?
5. Do you always repeat doing the same things days after days?
If "yes" to the above questions (some or all), you might be suffering from the "Systemic Blindness". You are missing something important because you can't see the bigger system.
Solution: Seeing More!!!
This is the topic I am going to cover this afternoon in a new free seminar, Systemic Leadership.
Tell you more after today!
