HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

I would like to wish all of my Chinese friends and their families, wherever they may be, a very Happy Chinese New Year.

I hope that the coming year will bring you good health, many blessings and much joy.

  1. Thank you for your wishes. The year of Mouse (2008), for many people, was full of challenges and frustration.
    Along with the law of Yin and Yang , ancient Taoists observed a pattern of expression in nature that they interpreted as, and called, the Five Elements. These elements, or energies, were described as fire, earth, metal, water, and wood. As such, they were felt to be the prime energetic building blocks from which all material substance in the phenomenal world is composed.
    The element of the year of Ox is Earth which is the basic element to nourish everything, i.e. the year of Ox shall be the beginning of everything. People can have the good harvest in Summer time. Wishing you all the best

  3. Dear Sir:

    I am on p. 425 of your book. I am wondering: Are any of the subsidiary companies owned by EO still functioning? Also, Chesterfields? Cool. I never would have guessed though. Most soldiers in the US like Marlboro lights. On occasion, I like one of these or a Kool Menthol.

  4. There are still one or two of those companies functioning GCU. I have, however, not had any contact with them for years.

    Yes, Chesterfield is still around…
