III. Keith's Point of View: 10 Mega-Trends Part 5 - Egonomics - I Did It My Way
This is Part 5 of my series on Mega-Trends which I mentioned
in this year's Annual Prediction Seminar. Around 20 years ago, a Futurist, Ms Popcorn identified 10 potential trends. Nearly all come ture. 5 of them are still very valid and affecting us till now. These 5 trends become the first 5 of the 10 Mega-Trends in my speech. Egonomics is the fifth of the series.
Be realistic, human being are selfish. (OK, at least most human
being are selfish!) People put themselves at the centre. People buy
what suit them most. People want to be different from others. If it is
tailor-made for them, it will be even better.
It will be too expensive to tailor-make every products. But there
are no more mass markets. Products are created for small groups
of people. Just go to the hair care section of any supermarket. You
can find more than 8 different types of Rejoice shampoo. Each is
catered for a special need of a small group of people. It is quite
difficult today to produce a service or product that can fit all.
This trend is going to continue.
Will this trend affecting you? How can you get something out of
this trend?
Remember this: Every trend is a threat to someone who
knows nothing about it. It is also a great opportunity if you
V. My Personal Development Tips: Top 5 Coaching Skills - Encourage Learning by Dr. Keith To
This is a series of my 5 top coaching skills. The most important coaching skills are listening and asking questions. I will talk about these two later in the future. In this series, I will introduce you my 5 other coaching skills apart from listening and questioning. No matter you want to be a coach or not, these skills are useful when you try to help others to discover their own answers and solutions to their problems.
My first skill is Encouraging Learning. Coaching is about learning. You are not going to tell them the answers. You encourage them to find out by themselves. When they can find their own answer, they learn. They can make use of what they learned when something similar happens again in the future. We learn most from our lives. Everything happened can teach us something. A coach is someone who encourages others to learn from their lives and experience.
When something happened to their clients, a coach always asks their client what they had learned from the event. When something new is going to happen to the client, a coach will also ask the client what he/she can learn from that. When something is happening to the client, a coach will also ask the client what he/she is learning from it.
These are simple questions but they generate much more effects than simply telling them the answers.

III. Keith's Point of View: 10 Mega-Trends Part 4 - Staying Alive - Chasing for Health
This is Part 4 of my series on Mega-Trends which I mentioned
in this year's Annual Prediction Seminar. Around 20 years ago, a Futurist, Ms Popcorn identified 10 potential trends. Nearly all come ture. 5 of them are still very valid and affecting us till now. These 5 trends become the first 5 of the 10 Mega-Trends in my speech. Staying Alive is the fourth of the series.
In the late 20th century and the early 21st century, we were facing
so many different kinds of new diseases. Though our lifes are
improving. We are not satisfied. We want not just good life, but
good, long and healthy lives.
Then comes different kinds of experts, telling you different kinds of
health advises. Many of them are of opposing views. Someone tells
you that eating fish is good to your health, but someone else tells
you that the fishes are seriously polluted. Drinking a little bit of wine
can reduce the risk of heart attack, but drinking just a little bit of wine
can also increase the chance of getting breast cancer! You just don't
know whom should be trusted.
Anything that can be good to health will be highly accepted by certain
group of people. There will be more and more "expert's" advises,
more and more health foods and supplements. Different kinds of
therapies, traditional or brand new, will appear and reappear.
This trend is going to continue.
Will this trend affecting you? How can you get something out of
this trend?
Remember this: Every trend is a threat to someone who
knows nothing about it. It is also a great opportunity if you
V. My Personal Development Tips: Top 5 Reasons for Having More Choices by Dr. Keith To
I practice NLP and I teach NLP. Why? Because NLP is the
science of discovering and creating choices. Why choices? It
gives you tons of benefits. People kill themselves because they
think that they have no more choice and feel totally hopeless.
The most successful people are being the most flexible people.
The most flexible people are people with most choices!
Here are my top 5 reasons for having more choices. Do you
want these benefits? If yes, decide and commit to yourself for c
reating more choices everytime!
1. Self-Knowledge. The more you search for choices for yourself,
the more you understand yourself. The more self-knowledge you
have, you can identify more choices much easier! The more
self-knowledge you have, the better choices you can made.
2. Self-Respect. You can't respect yourself if you always do not
have choices. You are always being forced to do what you do not
prefer. When you are able to choose, you re-discover your natural
right of being a human being. This creates Self-Respect.
3. Accomplishment. You can achieve what you really want if you
have a series of choices of goals. You can accomplish more if you
can choose from a series of actions.
4. Easer Life. Life is terrible if you do not have much choices. You
are doing something you do not like most. The more choices you
have, the easier will be your life. You can always choose the easiest
option, if you have something to choose from!
5. Strength. Strength gives you the ability to do things easier and
better. Easier and better choices provide you the strength.

III. Keith's Point of View: 10 Mega-Trends Part 3 - Down- Aging
This is Part 3 of my series on Mega-Trends which I mentioned
in this year's Annual Prediction Seminar. Around 20 years ago, a Futurist, Ms Popcorn identified 10 potential trends. Nearly all come ture. 5 of them are still very valid and affecting us till now. These 5 trends become the first 5 of the 10 Mega-Trends in my speech. Down-Aging is the third of the series.
Just imagine, people borned right after the World War II is now already at an age of 60. In many developed countries, the
population of aged people is greater than that of the children.
People's life expectancy is increasing. (81.39 in Hong Kong)
People start to redefine "Old Aged". Even though you are old in
age, you can be young. More than 40% of marathorn runners are
over 40. Many ladies marry at an age of over 30. The number of
women having their first baby at over 40 is increasing.
People want to look younger and feel younger. Products and
services that help people having better skin, better teeth, better
circulation, more and darker hair, better sleep and better financial
arrangement after retirement are all bomming in the past 10 years.
This trend is going to continue.
Will this trend affecting you? How can you get something out of
this trend?
Remember this: Every trend is a threat to someone who

V. My Personal Development Tips: Top 5 Things to Do Before I Die by Dr. Keith To
One factual truth about life is people will die. I will die too. Though it will be a bit much later. If I die, I want a "great" death. I have already prepared for it. Everyone has something need, want and desire to do before their death. It is better to do them as soon as possible. Who knows when is the time!
Here are my top 5 things I will do before I die. It is nothing about you. It is my death. I share with you only because I urge you to do what you want to do and do them now. I will not regret if I die tommorow.
1. Fulfill at least one Childhood Dream. We all have dreams when we are young. We "forget" most of them as we grow up. We stop dreaming since we become adult. Because we need to make a living. Is making a living will prevent us from Making a "Life"?
You will never find the right time to start realizing your dream. There are always problems. Select one of your dream and start it now.
When I was young, I read my first English fiction book, the Adventure of Tom Sawyer. I told myself that I will write a book that people in different parts of the world will read it. This is one of my dreams. I wrote 4 books (with my best partner, Mr. John Lau). Though there are tens of thousands of readers. I still not yet accomplished my dream. I am writing my best book now. I will and I can do it!
2. Be Your Real "You". I am "old" enough not to live according to other people's expectations. I am who I am. I do what I like to do. I wear what I like to wear. I speak what I like to speak. I don't harm anyone. If someone doesn't like me, it is OK. Be yourself and surround yourself with people who love who you really are. You can't satisfy everybody or you are the first one to be suffered. Then you feel free, really free!
3. Leave Something to the World. Contribute something to the world. Something meaningful. Don't leave this world without giving others something great. Apart from making a living, I do training because I desire that I can spread my ideas and information to others. I am sure that someone will find them useful. I had made a decision. When I die, I will put half of all my writing, audio recordings of my programs and other intelligence properties into public domain so that everyone can read them and listen to them free. (BTW, don't kill me now!)
4. Finish all Unfinished Business. Unfinished business are those things that you wanted to but not yet finished. It could be something you want to say, some relationships, someone you want to forgive, an appology or anything else. These hooked you up in the past. I am now clearing all my unfinished business. To make things easier, I stop starting anything that I can't finish.
5. Fill Yourself with Great Stuff. When you live one more day, you are having one less day in this world. This is not a negative thinking. This is reality. With less and less time in this world, I only desire for great things in my life. I stop tolerating less than great things. I desire for great food. I desire for great people surrounding me. I desire for great experiences. I am not greedy. I do not need much, but I need them to be great!
I have just completed a new program, the Neuro Linguistics of Emotions. I forget something to mention in the workshop. Let's do it here. This is the secret to be happy.
If you "want" your life to be filled with Joy, Fulfill All Your "Needs" (something you really can't live without), Stop All Your "Wants" (something you don't need, but you just want them), Act on Your "Desires" (something your really want, you know and you have great reasons to get them, you have passions in them).

V. My Personal Development Tips: Top 5 Reasons for Learning NLP by Dr. Keith To
Apart from Coaching I mentioned in last issue, NLP is another of my 6 core skills I highly recommend. (The other 4 are Hypnosis, Facilitation, Developmentalism and Hypno-Influencing). Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the science of how people think and act. This in turn affects the results people get.
My opinion is: Everyone should learn NLP if you want to get the results you want and know exactly what results you want.
Here are my top 5 reasons why everyone who want to become better should learn NLP.
1. You Communicate Much Better. This is the number one reason why people learn NLP. NLP was designed as a model of communication at her very beginning. (As NLP develops over time, it is much more and deeper than this) You can make use of the language patterns learned in NLP to persuade much better. You can persuade others and your ownself to agree with you.
2. You Develop a Genuine Understanding of Yourself. Through discovery of our thinking "filters", you know exactly what you want and why you want them. You save a lot of time and effort. Most people are wasting their time and effort in something they do not really want. You clarify your direction in life. You know where to go and then go there directly.
3. You Can Understand a Wider Variety of Other People. Everybody knows that people are different, but not everybody treat different people differently. They treat others according to their own way. This is the source of mis-understandings and conflicts. It is also the major reason why you can't persuade others to your opinion. NLP gives us the insights on how and what are the differences amongst different people. This knowledge is the key success factor in turning from a good to a great leader, manager, salesperson, parent, teacher, trainer, and/or helping professional.
4. You Make Decision Much Easier, Faster and Sharper. You make all your own values, beliefs and rules apparent to yourself. Originally, they are all in your "black-box" of your mind. Now you make them crystal-clear right in front of you. Making decision is ever so easy. Just imagine how good it is when there is no more procrastination and every decision in your life is precisely made.
5. You Can Help Others to Improve. You gain an entirely new language to describe what's going on with someone - their way of thinking. You become a more effective and efficient helping professional as you help them according to their mental models, not your own.

I mentioned a quote from Bill Gates during my Global Equalization & Megatrends Talk last week. This is one of the best quotes from Gates. This quote keeps on reminding me in seeing future changes in a more sensible way.
Many of our friends emailed me for the original quote. Here is it!
"We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction." Bill Gate

V. My Coaching Tips: Top 5 Reasons for Learning Coaching Even You Do Not Want to be a Coach by Dr. Keith To
Coaching is one of my 6 core skills I highly recommend. (The other 5 are NLP, Hypnosis, Facilitation, Developmentalism and Hypno- Influencing). Many of you will not become a professional coach. But will learning coaching benefit you? The answer is an absolute YES. Here are my top 5 reasons to learn coaching even you do not want to be a caoch. 1. You Can Master Yourself Better. Mastering requires self- understanding. You can always use the skills learned to coach yourself. When you coach others, you will expand your scope of seeing things. As a result, you can't stop yourself seeing your own self clearer than ever.
2. You Can Become More Effective. Effectiveness is about making the right choice. Coaching helps you to see all the possibilities you had never seen before. You get more choices for you to select.
3. You Can Become a Better Manager, Parent, or Partner. The most common complaint from subordinates, children and partners is their feeling of not being listened. A coach is someone who trained to be a great listener. You will also be trained to understand better what others' saying. You become really a Partner to your staff, your children and your partner!
4. You Can Become a Much Better Leader. A leader is someone who can see something in the future others can't. Coaching helps you to get more information about the future possibilities through asking great questions. A leader is someone whose followers are willing to follow him/her. Coaching makes your people get involved and they are walking with you all the way.
5. You Know How to Ask Provoking Questions to Help Others. You can inspire others by asking provoking questions. You do not need to motivate others any more. They motivate themselves once they get their own inspirations. Life is much more easier for you and for them.

V. My Personal Development Tips: Your Top 5 Inborn Assets by Dr. Keith To
Everybody has some inborn assets. You do not need to learn to get
them. But they can be eroded during your growing up. The more you
can retain them, the more successful you are when they are combined
with your knowledge you learned in your life.
1. Your willingness to learn. When we were young, we all were very eager to learn. We learned most during age 0 to 3. We learned the most difficult and useful skills of walking, talking, etc.
2. Your enthusiasm. We did everything with great enthusiasm when we were young. No matter how "useless" the job we adult see, children totally immerse themselves into it. They can get great fun and learning out of it.
3. Your open mind. We saw anything is possible when we were young. When we get older, many of us turn into pessimists. Pessimism is learned behaviour. We can unlearn it.
4. Your Curiosity. Everything seems to be new and strange to a child. They explore them. As an adult, we see new and strange things being a sign of danger and we tend to avoid them.
5. Your lack of dogma and jargon. A child do not have anything "must" and "have to" be done. They have the widest scope of choices. They do not speak any jargon with their parents. They say things in their simplest form.
The above five are our truly assets for our success. We lost them gradually as years passed. It is time for us to take stock of them. It is up to you to decide whether you want to get back and retain them in your future life.

V. My Personal Development Tips: Top 5 "Samll" Lessons
I Learned from the Tsunami in South Asia by Dr. Keith To
Recently I received a lots of emails about the senders' learnings
from the tsunami.
Interestingly (the tsunami is not interesting!), most of the learnings
are about something like caring more for your family and friends,
valuing your relationship with others, awakening from being cruel
to our earth, etc.
These are great lessons. I like to share with you my "small" lessons l
earned from the tsunami.
1. There was Always Some Signs. One man in Thailand felt that
something was going wrong when he discovered the sea level was
abnormally low just before the tsunami. He lived there for years and
he never saw something like this. We are just too busy not to be
aware of the warning signs. But the signs are there.
2. If There is a Danger, It is OK to Run Away!!! He ran as far away
from the seashore as possible. He saved his life. From the TV
boardcast, I find many people were still playing or watching when
the first wave came. Some of them disappeared after the second wave.
3. Warn Others of the Potential Dangers. The same man above
also warn other people nearby when he was running for life. He
saved hundreds of lives.
4. Protect Yourself First. Someone did not believed in his warning.
He tried to explain but he didn't waste his time further as he want to
save his own life.
5. If You can't Escape, Face the Danger! I saw this from the TV
News. There were several boats near the seashore when the
tsunami came. Some of those boats turned around away from
the wave to escape. But it was already too late. They are deadly
damaged. There were 2 other boats turned toward the wave.
They went up and down but they were still under control. Finally,
they made it.
