Hi, just a few questions here.. hope u don't mind answering them...

I wonder what does "writing" as a career fall under? Water (imagination?) or Wood (paper)... or Fire (also another element usually related to imagination...).

Anyway, under the "wood"-related careers category, i see "electronics", "scientific instruments" and "new technology"... is this right?

Well... under my report is "suitable favourable career" that neither belong to my wealth/power careers... where does it come from? And what does it mean when it says that "it is more beneficial for you if you are unable to find a suitable Career with Wealth or Career with Power and Authority"?

Also...as i'm a strong metal person, should i avoid careers with metal or should i jump into a career with my own element in it -- like a fish takes to water?

Thanks for helping me.

Dear James,

Yes, most of the time, the answers can be quite subjective depending on the way one argues the case.

We need to look at the wider picture. For example, who are our target audience?

If we are writing a text book for school children, then this is considered as "wood" or growth. Since it can help the child grow (his mind).

If we are writinga scientific article, it can also be considered growth (wood element).

But if we are writing articles on "hate"; or lawyers writing to "sue" someone or a letter from a bank asking to collect money etc.. then, this may involve "fire element".

If one writes a song, or pen it down on paper, than, it would seem to be like "water element" since music is fluid....

Yes, generally, the industry is considered "wood element" But, one can always work in an electronics company but say work as a Human resource person or Accounting.

Well... under my report is

"suitable favourable career"

that neither belong to my

wealth/power careers... where

does it come from? And what

does it mean when it says that

"it is more beneficial for you

if you are unable to find a

suitable Career with Wealth or

Career with Power and

Authority"?

This means to say that for example:-

If one is a strong earth person:-

His career with wealth is associated with Water element.
His career with power and authority is associated with Wood.

However, if he or she is not in any of these careers, then a suitable but career not leading to wealth is the Metal element.

Each of us, under the Five elements concept has:

1. career associated with wealth
2. career with power and authority
3. a career that can help our element. For example, if one is a strong earth person, a metal career can help to reduce this strong earth.

person, should i avoid careers

with metal or should i jump

into a career with my own

element in it -- like a fish

takes to water?

For careers, one has to make a distinction between:

1. Career in a specific Industry
2. Career in a specialised field.

Thus, your career with wealth has to do with wood element. Thus, most importantly, under Para 2, it is said that it is best to have a career that suits our "specialised" field - as the first priority over the specific industry.

For example, one can still say, work in a bank but is involved in new technology development for this industry.

More importantly, also is the "score" in our chart.

For example: Career with Wealth:-
=======================

Earned wealth Water Total = 3
Unexpected wealth Water Total = 3

Career with Power and Authority:-
+++++++++++++++++++++++

Authority WoodTotal = 0
Determination WoodTotal = 1

In the above example, the above person is better off, working in "Water element" as he/she has a better success rate due to higher numbers.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
