If you have a wish, that has been unfulfilled for a long long time, how can you pray for its fulfillment with mooncakes on the auspicious day of the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Master Dai Hu specially sought the blessings and approval from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to divulge this for the first time during this 5th Tea Session, and taught all attendees with the positive intent, affinity and merits. Master Dai Hu further answered all their doubts about spiritual practice.

Mid-Autumn Tea Session Highlights:

1. It is better to depend on oneself than on others. Why can mantra recitation is your self-form of blessings?

2. Life is an illusion. Nothing really belongs to us.

3. Why are most amulet pendants round in shape?

4. People often complain about the toilet as a filthy place, yet have no idea that the filth is created by our bodily waste. Therefore, the filthy ones are actually we humans.

5. The origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and why mooncakes are round in shape.

6. Why are we unable to see our Buddha Nature now?

7. Citing an example of a client who owed debts close to a million dollars, Master Dai Hu explained the different profiles of people ill-suited for investments.

8. How do you know what investments are suitable for you?

9. Why does Master Dai Hu discourage against sharing of personal belongings?

10. Before the General Election 2015 in Singapore, Master Dai Hu told his disciple that the People's Action Party (PAP) had a very slim chance of winning the Aljunied GRC. How was he able to know?

11. A person will prosper with the nourishment from the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. In a tropical country like Singapore where we experience summer all year around, how can we boost our fortunes?

12. The advantages of having the Fire element in your birth chart.

13. What are the habits and characteristics of a person, whose birth chart lacks the Fire element?

14. If you wish to have beautiful skin and bright eyes, which internal organ must you take special care of?

15. Is your daughter at risk of premarital pregnancy? How to tell from the moles on her face.

16. Which mole on your face must be removed to keep your husband faithful to you?

17. Good Feng Shui and ways to rechart your destiny can only be taught to people with the true desire to live a virtuous life. If you are unwillingly to spend time to read Master Dai Hu's articles, and not diligent in learning good and performing virtuous deeds in your daily life, Master Dai Hu is unable to save you too.

18. During an annual Feng Shui audit, Master Dai Hu predicted that the eldest daughter of the family will have suitors the following year and the prediction came true! Not even the family members knew of this! How did Master Dai Hu know of this?

Etc.

Many thanks to all participants who made time to attend the Mid-Autumn Tea Session and for the lovely gift for this wonderful festival. Master Dai Hu would like to wish everyone an early fulfillment of their wishes!

Tony Fernandes's top 10 tips for entrepreneurs

1) You don’t need to know everything

I came from the music business. I knew nothing about planes. To all the entrepreneurs out there, you don’t need to know everything about what you want to do. It’s all about the idea, it’s about passion, it’s about implementing it.

2) Just do it!

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it. You’ve got one life, so you can’t press the rewind button and say ‘I wished I had done that.’

So I recommend to all of you out there, just do it. Live your life to the utmost, be positive. If you fail, at least you have tried.

I have failed miserably at Formula One, but I have no regrets because I got to stand with the greats from Ferrari, McLaren, and others.

3) Passion is a key problem-solver

Dreams do come true. Don’t worry about failure. You have one life, make the most out of it. Nine times out of 10, if you have the passion, you will find a way to work through it.

4) Invest in marketing

If you have the greatest idea in the world, please, please, please put some money on marketing. This is because if you don’t put money on marketing, nobody is going to hear about your great idea.

There are so many great ideas that never took off because of a lack of marketing.

Marketing is not about the dollars, it is also about public relations (PR). In AirAsia, we had no money. So I ran around with a red cap on and said controversial things so that the press would always take a picture of me. That was our marketing in AirAsia’s early days.

We have been through so many issues, and marketing played a key role in overcoming them.

Remember SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)? At that time, nobody wanted to fly; we all thought we are going to die.

Everyone cut their advertising, but I told my guys not to cut because this was the best time to build our brand. In fact, we tripled our advertising and everyone looked at me and said, “Are you on drugs?” I said, no, it is the best time because no one else is advertising.

When the first Bali bomb attack happened, everyone cancelled their flights. I said to the guys, we cannot let the Bali route die. We must continue to fly.

So we came up with ‘Love Bali’ campaign, giving away 10,000 free seats, and it worked. All 10,000 seats were snapped up in like under one minute. And all those who got those seats told all their friends about it on social media. Your best advertisement is your customers.

5) Leverage social media

When Malaysians get a good deal, they will tell the whole world about it. So the 10,000 people who went and had a good time in Bali, told 10,000 people that they had a good time. That was the early gestation of AirAsia’s social media.

We realised the power of social media very early on, so when Facebook and Twitter came up, we latched onto them. We were early adopters. We now have 32 million people on our various social media platforms, and 7 per cent of our business comes directly from social media.

The Bali campaign taught us that our best advertisements are our customers.

6) Don’t be scared of complaints

Complaints are actually free market research. Someone took the effort to write to you to tell you where things went wrong and how they should be improved. These are things that companies pay a lot of money for consultants to tell them that same thing.

So we treat every email preciously.

7) Focus on one image when it comes to branding

During the early days, there was the word ‘AirAsia’ and a logo of a bird in our branding.

If you look at the top brands in the world, there’s only one image that comes to your mind. When I say “Shell,” you think of the Shell logo. When I say “Coca-Cola,” you think of the word ‘Coke’ in italics, and when I say “Nike,” you think of the swoosh.

So, back to our earlier AirAsia brand, we said drop the bird – we felt it was facing the wrong way anyway – and we used ‘AirAsia’ as our logo. Just one image. Why spend double the money to promote two images?

We also dropped the blue and the green colours. I tried very hard not to go with red, because everyone thinks that I want to be Richard Branson [the Virgin Group founder and Fernandes’ former boss] ... but it was the best colour, so we picked red.

So yes, the colour does make a big difference!

8) Go on the ground

What I used to do – although I don’t do this anymore – was that once a month, I would carry bags, I would be a cabin crew [member], and also at the check-in counter.

I did this for two reasons. The first is that you can’t be an effective CEO (chief executive officer) unless you go on the ground to experience the real situation.

Here’s a true story. The baggage handling team told me that they needed belt loaders. I told them, “No, we can’t buy that as it’s too expensive.”

So one day when I was tasked to carry bags, they put me on one of the Indonesia flights. People who fly with us generally bring their house with them, but people who fly to Indonesia bring their neighbour’s house as well!

So there was a lot of bags. I broke my back in the process, and I told my team that they were right and I was wrong, and let’s buy the belt loaders.

If I didn’t do that [go on the ground] and just sat comfortably in the office, I would have made a wrong decision, damaged a lot of bags, and probably started a union.

The second reason [for going on the ground] is that I wanted to look for talent. I wasn’t looking for the talents from Oxford or Cambridge, I was looking for the Grade 3 SPM [O Levels equivalent] kind of guys who needed a second chance.

9) Never underestimate the potential of your staff

I broke all the rules in terms of hiring people. To me, as long as you have a dream, you can do anything.

There was an ex-cabin crew member – she came up to me one day and told me that her dream was to become a pilot. I told her to go for it.

Then she called me up one day and asked if she could take part in the Miss Thailand [beauty pageant], and I told her okay, as long as I get to use her photographs in our marketing materials.

She won the [Miss Universe Thailand] pageant and recently became a captain – so we are the only airline in the world with a Miss Thailand flying with us.

The moral of the story is that we have such a flat structure that she was able to tell me what her dreams were, and we were able to make a raw diamond into a diamond.

Another one of my boys, a baggage handler in Kuching, told me he wanted to become a pilot. I told him to go for it. He passed all the exams ... he had the top marks in the flying academy. Today, he is a captain.

We have many of such stories at AirAsia.

Your biggest assets, besides your ideas, are your people – because at the end of the day, it is the people who will deliver your ideas.

10) Data is king

We have a huge amount of data that we don’t know what to do with it, but everyone else wants our data ... so we figured it must be something very valuable and there must be an opportunity there.

We are investing in a few ventures. We plan to launch our own version of TripAdvisor, a travel dongle, a new YouTube-type of channel and more – data will be playing an essential role in these ventures. Data will be king. —
