Introduction  to  Jack  as  Resource,  Mentor  and  Consultant    

 Some  Areas  of  Learning  I  Will  Enjoy  Exploring  with  You    • Learn  how  to  improve  your  performance  at  work  and  advance  your  career.  • Learn  how  to  study  more  effectively  to  pass  tests  and  retain  useful  information.    • Learn  about  your  own  and  others'  personalities  and  why  we  act  the  way  we  do.  • Learn  how  to  effectively  cope  with  conflict  and  relate  better  to  your  wife  or  

husband,  children,  in-­‐laws,  friends  and  work  or  schoolmates.  • Learn  how  differently  Westerners  and  Chinese  actually  think  and  perceive  their  

worlds.  • Learn  the  Art  of  Living  and  Loving  from  the  ancient  and  modern  philosophers,  

poets  and  artists,  including  Kongzi  from  Ancient  China  and  Socrates  from  Ancient  Greece.  

 My  Four  Fundamental  Propositions:    1.  You  are  absolutely  free  to  do  anything,  except  this:  you  cannot  justly  initiate  (act  out  first)  physical  aggression,  for  ANY  reason  -­‐-­‐  there  is  NO  moral  justification  for  physically  coercing  another  person.    2.  You  can't  control  another  person  -­‐-­‐  you  might  be  able  to  force  them  to  do  what  you  want  but  in  the  end  this  will  not  satisfy  either  of  you.    3.  You  are  always  trying  to  control  yourself  and  your  world  to  obtain  whatever  you  most  value  at  the  time  in  the  best  ways  you  can  manage  -­‐-­‐  even  when  the  ways  you  choose  are  harmful  to  yourself  or  others  -­‐-­‐only  YOU  are  responsible  for  the  choices  you  make.    4.  Every  freely  entered  into  relationship,  is  an  exchange  of  services/goods    from  Greatest  Love  to  having  your  shoes  shined,  where  each  believes  he  receives  more  than  he  gives,  or  else  the  interaction  would  not  be  undertaken  -­‐-­‐  therefore,  what  we  are  giving  and  taking  from  each  other,  is  each  other.

5  Ways  I  May  Be  of  Unique  Use  to  You      1.  University  of  You  Resource  and  Mentor  Let  me  enroll  and  guide  you  through  the  University  of  You  to  increase  your  Self-­‐Knowledge.  I  have  30+  courses-­‐-­‐all  with  full  sets  of  PPTs,  Teacher  Guides  and  Student  Workbooks,  Quizzes,  etc.-­‐-­‐on  a  wide  range  of  business  and  personal  development  topics  that  you  can  take  solo  or  with  me  as  your  Mentor.  I  have  a  large  resource  library  of  ebooks  (5,000+),  articles  (2,000+)  which  are  included  for  no  extra  cost.      2.  Personal,  Couple  and  Organizational  Counselor-­Consultant  I  help  you  learn  why  Freedom  and  Responsibility  should  be  your  most  important  value  and  goal.  When  I  "consult",  I  try  to  create  the  conditions  that  allow  you  to  be:  • Valued  as  an  end  in  yourself  as  well  as  a  means  to  another’s  end  • A  meaningful  whole  that  is  part  of  other  meaningful  wholes  • Free  to  determine  your  actions  and  be  responsible  for  the  consequences  • Informed  of  influences  that  involve  and  evolve  you  • Treated  as  an  interdependent  adult  rather  than  as  an  independent  adolescent  or  

dependent  child                I  help  you  understand  yourself  and  the  Human  Condition  by  focusing  on  the  6  Ps  of  Self-­‐Management:  1.  Perspective  –  How  we  view  our  world  to  maintain  control  over  our  lives.    2.  Purpose  –  Why  we  do  what  we  do  –  for  what  goals  or  values.  3.  Personality  –  Who  we  are.  4.  Planning  –  How  to  get  to  where  we  want  to  go.    5.  Productivity  –  How  we  can  become  more  effective  and  efficient  at  managing  ourselves  and  others.    6.  Provisioning  –  What  are  our  resources  and  how  do  we  use  and  increase  them.      3.  Worker  With  Words    As  an  Editor  of  English,  I  help  you  express  your  understanding  in  theses,  business  plans,  personal  statements,  etc.    I  have  many  years  of  experience  working  as  an  editor  with  undergraduate  and  postgraduate  students  and  businesspersons,  helping  them  draft  and  craft  theses,  personal  statements  and  business  plans.  My  very  wide  range  of  reading  and  study  across  many  disciplines  make  me  a  deep  and  unique  resource  for  writers  wanting  to  go  beyond  the  usual  academic  conformity  or  standard  business  models.  Personal  before  professional,  my  rich  human  experience  is  on  tap,  so  use  me!    4.  Teacher  of  Meaningful  English    Unzip  those  Lips!  Don't  worry,  just  talk!  Simply  understand  and  be  understood.  You  learn  English  face-­‐to-­‐face  with  me,  one-­‐on-­‐one  or  in  small  groups.  You  learn  topics  that  are  of  real  interest  and  use  to  you,  such  as  building  better  relationships  with  those  you  love  -­‐-­‐  and  learn  English  at  the  same  time.  Learn  to  communicate  in  specific  kinds  of  English  such  as  for  marketing,  finance,  science,  medical,  etc.
