First The Date Then The Nose


The recent economic downturn is strange, as more freebies are churning out from the first CON, then inSULT-an of the academies that do not give freebies; one in particular has caught my attention with serious connotation, the betrayal sign.

What is a sign? A lightning strike the statue of Merlion is deemed to be a sign from Heaven. The Highway Code painted in bold color with 100mph, sticking upright at the side of the road is called a highway sign. A handwritten signature is called a sign. A crooked nose is genetic, NOT A SIGN. A defaced nose due to an accident or birth defect is a sign. However a sign remains a sign until a question is asked. So the caveat is DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!

I must say the best conman comes in perfect features, not otherwise the personification of the best double agent in the silver screen would not be James Bond in personification of a sophisticated handsome nurtured gentlemen with LONG nose bridge, yet betray everything along his path to get to his objectives. Similarly so, is one of the former employee of the first CON, then inSULT-an academies that had gone overboard to serve another master as his marketer, do he have a crooked nose, or a crooked mind? Better, if those instructors, who jump ships, all have crooked nose? If the first CON, then inSULT-an academies knew these from the start, would it not better to nip it from the start? Perhaps, the setting up of the first CON, then inSULT-an academies itself is indeed a manifestation of a betrayal in partnership? That I do not know.

What I do know is betrayal as a sign does not stem out from: -

i) Low nose bridge.
ii) Crooked nose.
iii) Unsteady gaze.
iv) Protruded jawbones.

So, do not hinder someone from getting a job or potential employer of getting a good staff based on biased profiling method that are driven by the notion of only judge a book by its cover. It is a grave mistake. I do not reckoned face reading as a method that do not discriminate someone, as contradicting as it may be, it is in fact a method of profiling that will narrow down to discrimination. Given a choice, DISC method would have been a better profiler.

Anas Zubedy, my fellow countryman has posted an advert seeking everyone especially the politician to work rather than to fight for power with examples of his decline business affecting the livelihood of his staff due to the economic and political uncertainties. Here, we have academies that teaches us to profile others based on facial features and rope everyone into a delirium of un-necessitated dogmas of Chinese Metaphysics.

What a shame…

I agree with not judging a book by its cover. From what I read, traditional "reading of features" were more than just face reading and palm reading, they also included posture, sleeping, speaking, eating, walking, observing, listening, and even profiling through one's waste matter.

About signs:In christian tradition, whenever you encounter an ox and a donkey in the bible it means there is a sign to understand. and signs are to be kept until they can be "questioned" so as to give proper answers.this is why the nativity of Christ displays an ox and a donkey . They are few now those who understand that cryptic visual language. The face reading was developed in europe since the greeks, on different basis than chinese Mian Xiang. There was a system of physiognomony developed in france in end of 19th which was supposed to reveal criminals. it was statistically studied on the whole of prison's population and it was mathematically found that there is no significant features associated with any type of crimes committed. So the system was discarded.Indeed anyone thinking, even very briefly, will agree that the best crook or conman is the best looking guy conformed to the local charming and beauty standard! otherwise they would not be successful ! I posted this on the academy forum once but my post never came out! though i had been cautious to warn that i was ignorant in the chinese mian xiang and that the failure of european physiognomony to decipher ones character by face was not a proper counterindication on chinese system. This is the day saying " The art of predictions is difficult. Especially for those which are related to the future!"

Hi David

I was considering clicking but wondered about how many clicks.Considering our last conversation, I decided on a symbolic value : Wu Ji in center. ;-)Hope this will agree you.

I have not heard from KH since the beginning of year. He quickly told me that he is in up to his ears with his moving (his new appartment will be delivered later than expected and he has problems with the builder - this may sound familiar to you ! - i have never seen a large building project being delivered with zero defects in due time- ) and his marriage to come ! He often complained lately of the poor level of the forum. I am a bit bored as well and frankly go there only to look for HHC's contributions and your short elliptical comments - which may sound quite alien to new forumners i guess! but I know sour and sweet is a fundamental principle in Chinese cooking culture! )
