kalimantan 6 Report post Posted October 10, 2010 I wonder whether FS geomancer can setup a FS strategy to encourage reading / study. Do not get me wrong as this is not for children. Main objective is for myself. Sometimes i come back home, i watch video movies which takes up time and i lack the discipline to read books. I m from IT fields and before i change my job, i used to be competitve and read books and take exams. Now that i m in new job for a month, i began to slack. Is there such a strategy in Study room to encourage reading ? This means that the fs strategy will not make me easily distractable. Eg not coming to forum often to kaypoh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eg not coming to forum often to kaypoh In accordance to yr definition, here the "kpo king" comes. My intenitons of involving in forum here is to "steal/share" info, express views, as well as to perefecting my angmor. The 文昌位 concept is too deep for me to understand. Added: I know 文昌 was a scholar's name in ancient china & ppls worship him as if God. Also, now the 文昌 province?? kena flooded seriously, no rice, no cooking oil....But I do experience the following wrt readings/study corner: - Fiction : can be read at anywhere, poolside, seaside, inside car, under tree.... -Non-fiction : Need a proper table (big enough) with computer/printer/copier, drawers, stationaries, paper....quiet, bright, suitable ventilation of air with comfortable temperature, away from "noisy" TV set. A table calender, a clock, magnifying glass, penknife.....importantly, the chair must be comfortable and "general sits behind" setting deployed here. Once these ready, you will always like to "visit" the place you've setup. Told children their existing study places are their "wealth spots". They said I "seow" liao.

I read books & study topics all over the place: toilet, bed, sofa, sitting on a stool at coffee table. Outside my flat: at bus-stop/inside the bus & mrt train. But I never read at my dining table or kitchen. I always make a mess out of my kitchen when I study recipes from cookbooks & cook at the same time.

I always make a mess out of my kitchen when I study recipes from cookbooks & cook at the same time. I kena very "big shot", got long & big study table(more like a bench)covered with 5mm thickness glass, with drawers, all stationery, shelf/rack/cabinet next to it, bin, Power/Lan points, calculator, rough paper, laptop, calender planner, post-it notes, files, notice board/magnets......I love the place, whether seious calculating/planning or casual readings, fixup things, all there. Wife dares not anyhow touch/rearrange things there. My niece likes to sit next to me to do homework, don't know can ask me mah. 2 children have their own study places. Fiction books/magazine/newspaper, anywhere also can read. Edited October 11, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edenstrauss 3 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 Fs is all about influencing mindsets,in fact. I agree with both muffin & bepgof's ideas about FS. But FS is not a cure-it-all otherwise there wouldn't be emotionally & mentally disturbed people out there... *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
