Palm Reading – Value (#2)

In the list of posts on value adding I find it best to be diverse it your interests as well as talents.  Thus, different from handwriting techniques I will write a few palm reading basics to impress anyone at a social gathering.

Palm Reading has been around since the birth of Christ and probably before. However, texts have been written to tell of the future from the body messages of high counsel.  Thus, there has been a lot of information and importance with a long time of palm reading.

A bit of fortune telling:

1. The lines on the pinky side of your left hand tell how many children you will have.  The lines are close to the pinky and should be distinguisable before making a judgement call.

2. The four elements:  Measure your palm horizontally and then you have to measure if you have long/short fingers (measure your palm vertically and then measure you middle finger length. Length of middle finger is less than 7/8 of palm it is short.)
Water: Rectangular palm and long fingers
Fire: Rectangular palm and short fingers
Earth: Square palm and short fingers
Air: Square palm and long fingers

3. Remember: The good aspect to palm reading is there are certain lines that will contain their life line/marriage line/sex line.  You do not need to know everthing about the palm to be successful at reading someone else’s.  Go out and enjoy impressing.

Personal Improvement. Neat Skills.

The number one blog in the world is based upon personal improvement.  Not surprising when you know people make millions writing books on how to calm your sole, develop your mind, and achieve greatness.  Yet, I am not here to write about promises that if you follow my steps you will be a better you.  However, I have seen the success of learning in niche markets to make me more interesting.  What I mean is taking the Tim Ferris approach and doing what you want and becoming an expert in the field.  For example, I want to build value when talking to people, thus I picked up the book Your Personality in Handwriting by Lyn Brook for the sole purpose to have an ability to analysis someone through handwriting.  Seemed like a cool trick to have up my sleeve.  Who knows who I will be able to impress whe I am out with friends or at the bar.  Furthermore, I am learning ASl (American Sign Language) to build more value for myself.  The next few posts will be geared toward my learnings in the fields of interesting personal development skills.

So lets start of with a little introduction in graphology – the study of handwriting to diagnose personality traits – a science that has been taught for over hundreds of years and proven itself to millions of clients.  Instead of going to theorpy just write down a few sentences and send it to a graphologist for review.  But, here is a little of what I have picked up.  The importance understand legibility:

Legibility and Illegibility

· Clean writing shows interested in detail; work is done in a methodical manner. Never impulsive and proceeds with care.

· Watch for freedom, and the periods or i’s dots as circles shows beauty, grace, and self-confident.

· Cursive and print – shows constructed mind, resourcefulness in the tackling of ideas.

· Large fonts shows sociability, such as a secretary who meets lots of people yet takes work careful with detail.

· Illegal used by the Diplomat, one who only wants to tell people what they need to know. Reserved, found with the tapering of the letters.

· Over abundant use of punctuation indicates a vivid imagination. Not easy to understand but usually most interesting to others.

Before you take this information to heart, there is no one part of someone hand writing that can prove everything about them, there are many variables to take place, but these are indications.  Try them on friends and see how accurate you are.

Threesome Experiment: Who’s Hotter? (Comment)

Well recently I was looking at my blog stats using statcounter, a free program that allows a hided code to be embedded within your web page of website to full fill a detailed tracker of visitors. I saw over a 40% increase in visitors on my summer plans and project post. Granted this post was for my own personal gain, but I believe it was the picture that attracted the viewers. This is my hypothesis and now I will experiment and see what happens. I have hand selected after hours of research six beautiful women, some famous and some not, but after reading through a famous pickup-artist book The Game by Niel Struss it seems celebrities are more intimidating than the usual “HB10″ (Hot babe rank 10). I thought this was a little childish and am curious how everyone will rank this 6 beautiful women.

My ranking:

Left to Right (1 to 3) Next Row (4 to 6)

Hot is hot, even celebrities have 10 fingers and 10 toes, nothing special there. Anyways, the threesome experiment is to prove to myself pictures may be worth more to readers than the actual text (or just mine), so I am testing it out and there will be one of post to exemplify it all.

Summer Plans and Projects

Granted, I wanted to use this blog for a technology/experience driven guide to others going through the same issues or seeking aid in various online fields. However, this post will just be a personal gauge in summer projects for 2008. Read through if you want, otherwise skim through my archives for a title that catches your eye.

Well the To-Do list will be getting longer as the weeks get closer to my departure into the South. I look forward to the southern hospitality and the sweet tea. However, this summer is the start of independence due to the next levels of bills needing to be paid. This summer I have a great job working for RTI with my business partner Michael so I will have the money to pay for my apartment, car, clothes, entertainment, and of course weekends in the city. But besides this job dealing with product development I will be working endless into the nights on a few languages.

1. Sign Language (used for many reasons)
2. php (computer language, learn to create databases and final summer project: RSS feed aggregator)
3. Visual Basic (currently working on a statistical manipulation/bootstrapping project)
4. Photoshop (Not a language, but still will take time to understand)
5. Boxing
6. Build rapport within twenty minutes

Not only languages but finishing up my Motiv5.com idea which was written about in an earlier blog and start getting some links on grindhat.com. These should be completed through basic research and a few developmental procedures which include finding a girl with a sexy voice to read from a few speeches.

Once all of these projects are working, I will try and find a part-time job down in NC as a host or food demonstrator. I want the host for various reasons, great pay and great eye candy when working.

The start of the summer will begin soon, and I am excited and a little scared because I have put a lot to learn in a short time, however, if complete this will be the real start of my future.

Drinking During an Interview!

This post is all about the interview and the awkwardness of drinking. The reason for this blog is due to a recent opportunity to work with a private investment company in Providence to help improve a statistical analysis program created in Visual Basic. This meeting was at Starbucks and my partner on this project Chris and I were offered coffee. It seems when you are offered coffee you can not turn it down, especially in the cafe at Starbucks. So what should you do?

Lets get to the problems and then talk about the solutions. The negatives of a drink in an interview, and I am not talking about alcohol. I am thinking of a casual meeting at a coffee house with your boss or during an interview.

1. You can not drink hot coffee right away (look at what could happen), but can not get to caught up in the conversation to forget you have just been bought a coffee. It would be an insult not to try a sip.

2. You can not drink at the wrong time, which would be after a question is asked, very bad to have a long pause just so you can get a few sips in.

3. The fear of spilling on your clothes, you will hopefully be caught up in the conversation, but at the same time make sure you mouth goes over the little top of the coffee before tilting.

However, to all these problems there are a few solutions.

1. Go early to the interview at least 15 minutes, but not for the sole purpose to show up early, but to buy yourself a coffee and make it present when your boss or interviewer arrives.

2. Bring a hypodermic needle (used for those with allergies) with you and place it on the side of the table, say yes to the coffee and if he asks what that is for reply, “Just in Case!” and he will not expect you to drink.

At this point you have a few solutions to make your interview process run more smoothly if you have trouble like I did with the coffee situation in an interview. Good Luck and happy hunting.
