Who does not want the best futures for his/her children?  So what is the most important age for

     the development of a child?  The first six years -- we learned most of our thinking and our

     behaviors, including how to succeed, how to deal with stress, and how to stay healthy, from the

     people close to us. Your children may have passed their critical ages, however your influence is

     still very powerful, for you are the parents -- the Authority Figures in their lives.

     Who was close to you in your first six years?  Have you run into any limits with "their ways?"

     Do you want to pass the same things you learned down to your children?  Do you want to know

     more about how to eat healthy and stay fit, how to prevent your children from becoming

     overweight or acquiring sexually transmitted diseases, how to help them deal with criticisms,

     school, job finding and long-term goal, and achieve more and faster? 

     Our mind, body and interrelations with our internal and external worlds are one integrated system.

     Our thinking system is like the software running inside us, profoundly affecting our health, our

     emotions, our ability to handle stress in a crisis, and our ability to succeed.  We could learn; we

     can relearn.  Some people can have their dreams come with their potential?  Are they smarter,

     stronger and more courageous?  No. Most of the time is because of the different thinking, which

     can be vision, ideas, ways of approach and internal power.

     As most of our thinking has been formulated at immature ages, we need to identify and replace 

     the insufficient ones that limits our potential.  Sometimes, one improper software can turn a

     person's entire life upside down.  Isn't it right to have high standards on your children?  However,

     it could be troublesome if your child uses the "shoulds" standards on EVERYONE else.  It could

     become dangerous if the trouble happens in a pre-justice area.  As these internal limits have

     become part of us, we may not be aware of their existence without sharp insights of self and others.

     Not knowing enough is another internal limitation.  I did not know what was internet, computer 

     and Forbes in high school.  What I want today is different from what I wanted then.  How much 

     we know and see can determine what we can achieve.  To sharpen our insights of self and others,

     and upgrade our “software" will enable us to utilize full resources, focus precisely, and achieve

     more.

     However, to free our potential within is only the beginning.  Life is full of unexpected change, stress

     and health related risks, which can disable our minds, slow our progress, or even take away our

     success. 

     Who could expect that the school shootings could happen?  In these days, we can get stress

     almost anywhere, internally and externally.  Stress can be a good motivator; it can also destroy

     our problem solving, bring down our emotions and cause health issues.  A MTV's survey found

     that young people (age 13-24) are experiencing rising stress, 45% of girls/young women

     compared to 32 % of boys/young men, mainly due to school (13-17) and Job (18-24).  The stress 

     level is 80% among workers.  As the American Institute of Stress estimated, stress costs U.S.

     corporations $300 billion a year in health costs, absenteeism and turnover.

     With more and more stress facing us every day, we need to learn how to recognize negative

     symptoms of stress, how to relax from stress, how to utilize, eliminate and transform stress, and

     more importantly how to prevent stress from coming, including from our own mind or health.  We

     don’t have to be consumed by stress or crises.  For live samples, you may read the article

     "Utilize, Eliminate & Transform Your Stress" at our web site.  In addition, human beings age not

     only by years, but also by life events and our reactions to them.  We can certainly intervene in

     latter to look and feel young. 

     Good health enables our mind to handle stress or crisis function at their fullest efficiency. How we

     deal with illnesses or injuries before and after seeing doctors can mean life or death, recovery or

     disability. If you have not had much experiences taking care yourself or loved one in hospital, you

     may read the article “Don’t Just Count On Your Doctors!” at our web site.  It has many live cases.

     Sometimes, health can be a matter of life or death.  Without entering a profession in health, we

     can learn how to eat healthy and stay fit; how to sleep well; how to recognize and prevent common

     illnesses; how to avoid costly mistakes when we are well, ill, injured or in an emergency; how to

     select specialties, including acupuncture and herbs, shorten hospital stays and get well faster.

     The less you and children get sick, the less money, time, effort or even lives you would lose; the
     faster you can recover, the less stress you have to face.  There is NO health insurance that pays
     them altogether.  We can optimize our health and energy, and enjoy life and face challenges better.

     In addition, The U.S. health care costs has increased from 7.2% of the gross domestic product in
     1970 to 16% in 2005, and it is expected to be 20% of GDP by 2015 (the National Coalition on

     Health care).

     Our mind, body and interrelations with our internal and external worlds are one integrated system.
     We can achieve more, and achieve our goal more smoothly with our best hardware and software

     while enjoying a better work and life balance and children growth.  To improve three parts

     simultaneously, instead of piece by piece, will bring our integrated system to a whole new level.

     We have had an 18-year old student “Jump 40 Spots in Grade Rankings in 2 Weeks.” Your child 

     may jump even more.   Let’s update ourselves while educating our children better!
