Using a coin sword is a double edged sword.

In a highly commercialised Feng Shui world, some practitioners require the hanging of a coin sword e.g. in the living room facing the main door to neutralise bad stars like #2 or #5.

But, in some traditional Feng Shui schools; we are told that a sword hung in the living room could signify bad relationships or quarrels etc...

Between the above two concepts, it is safer not to hang the sword at all.

In fact, much of the myth of the coin sword comes from the movies. For example, many of the "ghost catching Chinese movies" show a Toaist monk using what looks like a sword made of these coins. And, presto! Many people, started commercialising the sale of these swords -- based on the movies.

Hey! If it appeals to movies, and if it can sell, these people would then push the sword in the "holy" name of "Feng Shui".

Again, the three-legged toad can be considered much like any other decorative items.

Place it facing into, outwards of a home and it still would be the same.

In fact, what has become is: the seller of the three-legged toads would become richer. And the buyer? Poorer!

They certainly look more like decorations. Which in fact, many rich people has never ever seen in their life. Yet, they remain rich.

What is the

different with a dragon

(longevity)

Frankly, another decorative item, that not all people has seen. Since it is a modern invention, invented to bring "longevity" to the seller of the product .. erh long life to their sales... we the buyer(s) will ultimately become poorer again.

Can you pls

For a business, it is best to constantly strategise good business models and have good business acumen.

Let us not detract ourselves from objects that are not the norm for business. Although it may bring comfort -- much like a baby teet to some, but overall, a business partner, coming to our office may think twice about doing business once they see all sorts of "hocus-pocus" placed on the potential business partner's desk or office!

In fact many business has become successful, thru good groundwork and not to stuff themselves with such commercial products.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

1. Many donkey years ago while serving my army reservist obligations;
2. I recall a business minded army clerk of mine. He is always looking into business opportunities.
3. He is not always successful. Throughout our "15 years" of reservist training; his fortunes would wane.
4. For example, I recalled in our 6th year of reservist training, he asked for a ride. As he claimed that (due to the condition of his feet) he was unable to drive.
5. But later, I found out that his business failed and he had to sell his car.
6. Till today, I was still amazed at his outlook and his powers of observation. He mentioned that he has even studied the feasibility of going into those child ride amusement machines (see attachment).
7. On his own, he has figured out what Professor Michael Porter theorised in his famous "Porter's Five Forces" concept.
8. Here, unlike other business, few people would ever think that such a business would work.
9. But for this clerk, he thinks out of the box. Rather than business that everyone aims to get into; he tries to find opportunities that others don't even give a second or third thought of ever venturing.
10. Here, he surmise that don't look down on his concept; where Michael Porter would coin it as something close to "higher barrier" of entry in a rough sense of it. Won't go rich, but in my opinion; it is like a small piggy bank...
