Hi,
要瞭解世上各式人事物，最大的障礙，不是什麼，只是自己；不瞭解自己，看到的東西，全被自己蒙蔽歪曲，那又焉能看清世事呢？
下列五點，只是小弟的一點愚見，希望能有助大家多瞭解自己一點。
1. 你的推動：什麼能鼓勵你、推動你。
2. 你的天份：你能無需什麼鍛練，便能做得很好的事情。
3. 你的興趣：做什麼你會特別享受，就算它會令你感到疲倦。
4. 你的惡習：習慣是有目的的，就是能滿足你一些未能滿足的需要，瞭解習慣，就能知道自己底下根本的缺乏。
5. 你的朋友：物以類聚，你的朋友，反映著你自己！

Keith To's Ideas & Thoughts on NLP, Hypnosis, Coaching, Facilitation, Personal and Business Development. These seem to be nothing related. But from a Systemic Thinking perspective, they share similar nature and processes. 陶兆輝對身心語言程序學、催眠治療學、教練學、輔引學、個人發展及商業發展的純個人看法；它們看似毫不相關，但當你從合整式思維角度來看，它們卻擁有相近的性質及過程；我將每隔數天不斷加入新的文章, 內容絕不敢認為是肯定正確, 旨在拋磚引玉而矣。 (All articles copyrighted by Keith To)

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Food to Make You Smarter 令你更『聰明』的五種食物
Hi,
首先聲明，本文不是營養學指引，小弟更不是什麼營養學家，只是小弟在一些研究報告中找到一些有趣，又可能對你有用的資料，分享分享而矣。
大家也希望自己聰明一點，最簡單的方法，不是什麼奇怪的運動，而是你的日常飲食；以下是五種簡單方便的聰明食物，看起來沒有什麼害處的，但不管是什麼好東西，太多就會變成有害，凡事適可而止嘛！
1. 蘋果：蘋果含有豐富果糖，果糖提供能量，大腦需要能量。
2. 大豆：大豆含有Phenlyalanine，Phenlyalanine促成Dopamine，Dopamine提昇察覺及集中能力。
3. 紅肉：紅肉含有鐡質，紅血球需要鐡質，紅血球運輸氧氣，大用需要大量氧氣。(不喜歡紅肉？果仁、大豆、菠菜也含有不少鐡質！)
4. 咖啡因：咖啡因？真的是咖啡因，少量咖啡因，促進大腦血液循環，有助集中及記憶。咖啡因的最佳來源？少量咖啡或綠茶，也是不錯的選擇。
5. 水：水？血液需要水份，生化酶需要水份；大腦需要血液，大腦需要生化酶；水份不足，大腦根本無法正常運作，多點喝水吧。

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Ways to Become More Self-Aware
Hi,
Do you really understand yourself? This is what Self Awareness all about. People of high self awareness knows what they want and what’s right for themselves. Here are my top 5 ways to enhance your Self Awareness:
1. Have Some Time Being Alone. This makes your attention going inward instead of just focusing outside.
2. Focus on Now. There are about 60,000 thoughts each day. Most of them are about either the future or the past. But missing the Now. Furthermore, 90% of our thoughts are just repetitions of those thoughts we had before. Practice asking yourself: What do I feel now? What am I thinking now?
3. Ask Yourself Questions. We seldom ask questions as we are educated to answer instead of asking. Ask yourself questions and hear your own answers.
4. Rethink Your Conclusions. What are you absolutely sure of? Make a long, long list of everything you are 100% sure. Then ask yourself for any other possibility for each of the items.
5. Settle Unfinished Business. Unfinished business blocks our vision towards our true self. List all you should have done but still outstanding, including all your regrets and issues that still make you angry. Finish them, one by one.

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Basic Skills to be a Person of Achievement
Hi,
How much one can achieve depends on many different factors, talents, attitude, behavior and environment.
Talents are inborn. What you can do can’t be too much. Attitude is something difficult to be identified and changed. Behavior is something you do by chance. It is not a reliable source of achievement. Environment is something you can’t control.
That’s why achievement is never easy!?
There is still one missing element – Capabilities. You can always train yourself to do something, which is useful to you and others. From my observation, below are 5 very basic skills you can learn to become a person of achievement.
1. Information Processing Skill. You can see the norm and outside the norm. You question others and yourself. You remain curious even when you think you are too old to be creative.
2. Perfecting Skill. You can criticize yourself and your works. You can identify your own mistakes. People with such skill seldom blames others.
3. Global Viewing Skill. See the big picture. Concern for others as some of them can affect your future. Might be!
4. Sensing Skill. Being sensitive to others. Plus an acute awareness of complexity and consequence. Those who can see through complexity and those who can see the consequences before they happen, always win.
5. Choosing Skill. Can you step out from your current path and choose to go into another path?
If you want to achieve even more, go to my website to download my special report, Science of Goal Achievement, which includes 25 of my top tips in achieving more goals faster!
As a Chinese New Year gift, go to www.subconsciousreengineering.com. I hide the link of downloading this special report of the Science of Goal Achievement somewhere in the webpage. Go and search if you want to achieve your goals.

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Tips to Achieve Your Goals
Hi,
We set goals to achieve what we really want in the future.
Goal itself is not important as it is just the landmark towards the direction we are heading. But achieving the goals moves us nearer to our expected destinations, and this is important.
Here are my top 5 tips to achieve your goals:
1. Set the right goals. Are your goals pointing to the direction of your purposes, i.e. what you really want in the future?
2. Design several different routes to your goal. Before you start working on your goals, design several routes to achieve each goal. This can avoid trapping in any single way.
3. Re-check your goals. Periodically, re-check your goals to see whether they are still realistic and in the right direction to your purposes. Things change, and so as our goals.
4. Break down your goals. If it is a “big” goal, break it down into smaller sub-goals. This makes achieving the whole thing easier.
5. Reward yourself. Whenever you reach your goals or sub-goals, reward yourself. Any reward you like is OK. Might be a day off, a small present, a movie, etc.
The above 5 tips are only a small part of my bigger report of the Science of Goal Achievement, which includes 25 of my top tips in achieving more goals faster!

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Tips to Facilitate Creativity from Groups
Hi,
You need and want to have creativity from your team because you can't expect new ideas just from yourself. Collective intelligence is much better than a single mind.
1. Focus on Possibilities. Never focus on your problems and barriers. They are important but they won't lead you to any new ideas.
2. Encourage, not Push. People opens their mind when they feel secure and safe. Don't push.
3. Appreciate Others' Contributions. No matter how useless the idea is, appreciate others' effort in producing it and voicing it out. This motivates others to create more!
4. Suspend your Judgments. All good ideas at their initial stage will not look great. Some are insane and some are impractical. It is our job to make them sensible and practical afterward.
5. Make it Fun for Everybody! Don't be too serious. An environment with fun encourages people to create more.

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Ways to be a Good Coach
Hi,
Do you want to use coaching to help other improve and grow? If yes, take a look at my top 5 ways to be a good coach.
1. Get Formal Training. Coaching is not a list of questions to ask, or a collection of several skills. It is an art and you need training and practice to make it useful to your clients.
2. Learn from your Clients. See how they think. See how they improve. See what works and what doesn’t!
3. Treat your Clients like Human Beings. They are not subjects or objects. They are people. They have their problems and they can think by themselves. Your job is helping them to think!
4. Accepting the Facts that Clients will Come & Go. You can never keep a client for life. They come and go. Do your best to coach them when they are still with you!
5. Coach with some Frameworks. Coaching is never a guesswork or simply by intuition. Many say so, just because they do not know they are already using some frameworks in their coaching works. Learn and try some coaching models. Use them so that you are not coach randomly. Or this will simply confuse your clients, rather than helping them think with clarity.

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Reasons of Doing or Learning Coaching
Hi,
I have been teaching coaching for more than 6 years. But why should we coach or learn coaching? Here are my top 5 reasons:
1. Coaching is growing. More people are going into the coaching field and more managers are using coaching to help their staff and their business day after days. If you don't coach or you don't know how to coach, you are lagging behind the whole new world.
2. Both the Coach & the Coachee improve. You can't stop yourself improving when you help others to improve. You can't stop yourself getting your own problems solved when you help others to solve their problems. You can't stop yourself seeing more opportunities when you help others to see their
opportunities.
3. Probably, you improve more than your coachees. Your coachees might present something you've struggled and/or you are struggling yourself. You can see clearly yourself.
4. Coaching is for your career development. You coach your people. When they improve, your team's performance Improves. You can also consider moving into the coaching field as your next step in your career.
5. Everybody can be benefited from coaching. No everyone needs therapy, counseling or advices. But everyone can gain insights from being coached. You need a lot of education and experience to become a therapist, counselor or consultant. But it does not requires too much training to be a good coach because coaching is absolutely helping others just by making them helping themselves.

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Ways to Become More Humorous
Hi,
Humor dilutes any difficulty with people. Humor also lubricates relationships and communication. Being humorous, even during hard times, indirectly shows others that you are in control. But it seems to be very difficult to be humorous. Here are my top 5 ways to become more humorous:
1. Don't be Funny. Being funny and being humorous is very different. It will be funny enough if you try to be funny!
2. Look Around Outside. There are lots of humorous things right outside. Promise yourself to discover at least one thing humorous everyday. You are sharpening your eyes for humors and you will then become humorous.
3. Create Crazy Reasons for Things Happening. There must be a reason behind everything. But I don't want that "right" answer. Think of something mad!
4. Play with Your Pains. Pains make us suffering if you resist them and decided not to play with them. Have fun with your pains.
5. Laugh at Yourself. If you are confident enough, you are able to laugh at yourself without hurting. People get used to be laughed at but seldom seeing people laughing at oneself.

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Ways to Learn Faster in Class
Hi,
Everyone needs to learn. Attending classes, especially good classes are shortcuts to learning. Good teachers and trainers share their knowledge they gained through years of experience.
You simply obtain them in hours.
Great teaching doesn't mean great learning. Teaching is their job and learning is yours. We need to learn to learn. Here are my top 5 ways to learn most in class:
1. Set Learning Objective. Tell yourself your objectives of attending a class before even enrolling. What you want from the course? What can be different after you gain the knowledge?
2. Ask Questions. Ask questions to clarify. Ask questions to understand. But not asking a question to show off your knowledge. Even you successful accomplish that, you gain nothing. This is just a waste of time. Ask relevant questions to show your respect to others. Don't waste others' time. Do not feel fearful or embarrass to ask questions. A good teacher likes and appreciates questions.
3. Express Your Points. This helps others' to understand better. Others might be encouraged to do the same to help your learning. But always express relevant points!
4. Listen. Listen for the meaning of the points offered by your teachers. Don't assume anything. The points might be similar to something you heard before, but it might not be the same points.
5. Apply the Knowledge. Use what you learn as soon as possible, or it will simply go away.

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Basic Guidelines to Live a Life
Hi,
If we have an effective & efficient Personal Operating System to live our lives, we make it easier for us. I am going to present New and Free 8-hours program, Personal Operating System in August this year. I will announce how to enroll later in this newsletter. Let's share with you a very, very small portion of my Personal Operating System. Here are my 5 basic guidelines to live our lives easier.
1. Know the Basics. Learn the basics. Then you can't learn until you work through it.
2. Use the Right Tools. Different tasks require different tools. Find the right tools. Then select the best one you can afford. It will save you time and effort. It can take away most of the Frustrations.
3. Be a Visionary. See what can be possible for the future. Macroscopically, you would see the possible future of yourself and what you expect. Microscopically, you could see the possible outcomes of a task, a project or a product. One can't be creative, even he/she has the best creative skills, if he/she can't see the possibilities!
4. Input the Right Input. Right Input might not necessarily be Good Inputs. Different processes require different inputs. Wrong inputs, wrong results!
5. Start. Preparation is important. Planning is important, too. But Preparation and planning is not doing! They won't give you any result. Plan, prepare and start doing!

Microscopically, you could see the possible outcomes of a task, a project or a product. One can't be creative, even he/she has the best creative skills, if he/she can't see the possibilities!
4. Input the Right Input. Right Input might not necessarily be Good Inputs. Different processes require different inputs. Wrong inputs, wrong results!
5. Start. Preparation is important. Planning is important, too. But Preparation and planning is not doing! They won't give you any result. Plan, prepare and start doing!

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Ways to Unstuck a Very Stuck Problem
Hi,
Sometimes we might become very stuck. What we are facing can be a very difficult problem or situation. Here are my top 5 ways to unstuck a really stuck situation.
1. Lighten Your Burden: Who says that problems must be solved. Tell yourself that some problems are not solvable or some problems are better left them unsolved.
2. Stop Doing whatever You are Doing. If it is useful, it is already useful. Continuing useless methods just add more frustration. Then you are further stuck.
3. Tell Someone about Your Problem. When you describe your problem to someone else, you are organizing your thoughts. This helps.
4. Play. Treat this as a game. If you win, you win. If you lose, you just lose a game. This can “light” up your mind!
5. Seek Advises. Not just one advise, seek at least several. Don't just believe in them. Get some new insights from others' solutions. Then work out your own.

Top 5 Tips: Top 5 Things a Coach can Help his/her Clients
Hi,
No matter you are a business coach or personal coach, there are some best things you can help your clients to gain a better life or business. You can do the same to yourself, your friends or your family, even you are not a coach! Here my Top 5 Things a coach can help his/her clients:
1. See Differently. We all have a lot of assumptions. A coach helps others to check their assumptions. Wrong assumptions lead to wrong conclusions! Right conclusion leads to right actions.
2. See More. We get used to see things from a single habitual point of view. Then we can never be creative. A coach introduces new points of view to others so that we can see more by themselves.
3. Become Sensitized. Being sensitized is not being sensitive. We are addicted and become fairly dumb to our normal daily lives. A coach talks to his/her clients to identify anything "strange". Our feedbacks can challenge our clients' usual perceptions. When we are sensitized, we can change quickly.
4. Become Effective. A coach does not just push clients for actions. We help our clients logically analyzing the right things to do. Being effective is not being efficient. Being effective is doing the right things, not just doing things quickly.
5. Understand Themselves. We seldom ask ourselves good questions about our own selves. We always try to understand others, but not ourselves. A coach ask questions, a lot of good questions about his/her clients. When we understand ourselves, everything we do become sensible!

Top 5 Tips: 防止精疲力竭
防止精疲力竭
由於我們大家為了謀生，我們都在要做到最好，精疲力竭在今天是很普遍的，享受一至兩個星期的休假是一個不錯的主意，但是可能對太多人來說是太奢侈了，如下是一些秘訣來防止精疲力竭。
1. 在一個明亮和舒適的地點工作，過暗的燈光或者不舒服的工作地點能導致更大的壓力和令你減低對工作的興趣。
2. 每工作2 小時休息一會，短暫的休息令你感到渙然一新，更充滿活力，和令你能再度集中精神。
3. 當你發現某項工作太困難的時候，把它放在一旁片刻。
4. 發展一個與你的職業完全沒有聯系的愛好或興趣，這能為你帶來平衡和使你成為一個更多才多藝的人。
5. 學習自我催眠或者沉思靜坐，這些技術能使你在壓力增強以前，降低你的壓力。

Top 5 Tips: 為自己努力工作
為自己努力工作
這是你的事業，如果你想要一個更好的事業，便請你為你自己努力工作，沒有人會沒有任何原因而給你一份更好的工作，給你一次加薪或給你一次晉升，如果你決定因為你要有更好的事業而努力工作，就請參閱我的5點建議：
1. 認真：你是認真地想取得一份有成就的事業或你允許這個世界拖著你嗎？你能承諾每星期，每天，每小時做些什麼行動來幫助你得到一份更好的事業？你目前在學習什麼技能來幫助你擴大你的事業選擇嗎？這是你的自己的事業生涯，除了你自己外，誰會在意？
2. 理解你自己：
你擅長於什麼？
你的弱點是什麼？
你有什麼競爭優勢？
你喜歡做什麼？
3. 成為一個專家：成為一個你的行業的專家，如果你不是一個專家，為什麼你的僱主還要僱用你或者甚至提升你？在你成為你現時工作的一個專家以後，學習如何成為你的上級的工作的一個專家，當你能夠做得比他更好的時候，這就是你晉升的時間。
4. 要求更多責任：這是對於你能獲致更好的事業的快捷方式，而且這總是有效的，向你的上級要求更多責任，當然，這意味著更多工作和更多危機，但是你不知道一個更高級的位置也意味著更多作和更多的危機嗎？
5. 研究他人：為什麼他人能達致事業成就？研究他們，接著依照他們的成功習慣來試試看，不要單是看書，研究圍繞你週圍那些成功的人，你的老板，你的同事，你的客戶，在書中的資料通常是過時或者誤導的，研究真實的人。
