Feng Shui Career Area – Climb the Ladder to Success

Feng Shui Career Area

Feng Shui is not only about creating a positive flow of chi and greater harmony in your home life, but it can also be used to benefit or enhance your career life as well. In Feng Shui, career and opportunity is a life lesson represented by the North direction of the Bagua Map. In order to activate this energy, you simply energize this corner of your room, home or office with the influential colors and elements of this area. Whether you work from home or outside the home, there are ways to achieve Feng Shui career success and luck by using the following guidelines and principles. Feng Shui Career Area

The Career Zone

The North area or Career Sector of the Bagua, is ruled by the element of water. In Feng Shui, as water is produced by the element metal, we can also energize the area with the element of metal. This means that any picture, symbol, object, item, painting, photo as well as any type of water or metal feature should be used to activate this area. Although both can be used as they are complimentary, the use of water will ultimately be more powerful in this particular area. Subsequently, any item represented by the elements of wood, earth or fire will weaken the area and counterbalance your efforts for attaining feng shui career success and luck.

Energizing with objects

One of the easiest ways to energize the career area of your living room or office is to place a small artificial water feature or aquarium in the North area. Do not make this too big however as such an overwhelming source of water energy can cause an imbalance to the rest of your room, eventually resulting in you feeling drowned through the subsequent negative energy and resulting bad career luck. You should also never have aquariums or water features in your bedroom as this can result in you being robbed or cheated.

When you are trying to energize through the water element, it is important to depict flowing water as opposed to still water. Stagnant water can result in stagnant chi which is negative and worse than not having water at all. Aquariums with swimming fish, fountains with water running or pumps in the water that create oxygen bubbles or a continuous flow are ideal representations of the water element for feng shui career luck. Feng Shui Career Area

If a water feature in your office is not an option and you wish to enhance the career area of this room, you can always display a picture or photo of a waterfall or flowing river for instance, to the north wall or introduce water motifs into the decor of this direction. Alternatively, anything that is black or blue in color will also represent the element water.

Metal items can also be used to energize this area. Some examples of these include coins, wind chimes, magnets or bells.

Feng Shui in the Office

Whether your office is at home or at ‘work’ you can also employ feng shui to the north corner of the room or cubicle you work in for feng shui career success. Desks should be positioned so that the occupant has a direct view to the entrance to the room and all windows, ideally with their back to a wall. It is not good to directly face a window however as this can be very distracting to your work, though natural light in the room is highly beneficial.

A round desk or one with rounded edges is more advantageous than a square or rectangular one. If you have one of the latter desks, plants on the sides of the desk can counterbalance the poison arrows deflected from it. The desk should also be a good size and free from clutter. Keep the desk surface tidy and the items in your desk drawers tidy as this will create tension on your subconscious. The same items and symbols described above representing water or metal can also be used in the north corner of your office to enhance your feng shui career success. Feng Shui Career Area

African export success: finding the needle when you’re not sure which haystack

Export success in Africa is a matter of finding a rare Big Hit, with the added complication that it won’t stay a hit, and that in a few years you will need a new Big Hit.

This from a new NBER working paper by Ariell Reshef (U. Va.) and myself. We also tell some stories of the individual successes, some of which involve the local government.

The news is not that Africa is different from the rest of the world in this, but that it’s?the same.

This unstable uncertainty?holds regardless of whether you include or exclude oil, minerals, and other export commodities. And so does the concentration of success — the top-ranked non-commodity export is 23 times larger than the 10th ranked export.

The stereotype of African countries as unchanging mono-exporters based on some unchanging natural endowment just turns out to be…wrong.

Coping with such remarkably high and unstable uncertainty (the “unknown unknowns”)?as to what will be a hit?seems like an a priori case for a lot of decentralized, highly motivated seekers and experimenters. We don’t exclude ANY possible government involvement — at the very least, governments need to be nimble to adjust regulations and infrastructure to support any new success that comes along from private entrepreneurs.

In sum,?we think?there is just as much a role for entrepreneurs in Africa, and just as little role for centralized and systematic?government industrial policy, as in the rest of the world.

Recipe for success

1. Toil for years at a career that doesn’t support you, mainly helping others redo their work

2. Produce a few deeply flawed products with occasional flashes of talent

3. Finally produce something that breaks all the rules for what your customers want.

4. Resist all suggestions for changes from your collaborators, who describe it as undoable.?

5. Unveil the work to shocked incomprehension from the hostile audience and critics.

6. You die in misery 3 months later.

Congratulations, you have just produced the most successful opera of all time.

In politics as in development, success is fleetingly fleeting

This blog has frequently pointed out that economic growth successes don’t last — rapid growth is fleeting. ?

After last night’s election, we are reminded that political success doesn’t last either. An action in one direction is followed by an equal and opposite reaction in the other.

The situation of one party having both the Presidency and?a majority in the House has been rare in the postwar era, and when it happens, it doesn’t last very long.

We often point out that analysis of rapid growth “miracles” is faulty because it fails to notice that the miracles will likely disappear very soon.

Likewise, would behavior of political actors be different — such as giving moderates in each party much more say –?if?both sides fully realized that an electoral “mandate” is a very frail and short-lived creature?

Postscript: this hereby ends the Aid Watch obsession with the elections, we will resume our reguarly scheduled programming tomorrow.
