You Are A Fortune Teller!
[Please note: This is an excerpt
from a 5 minute speech that I made in my public speaking class. I had my
audience totally enthralled. It had some dramatic impact. Read on to the end
to find out more about how a fortune cookie message turned true]
Whether you are trying to
analyze the Wall Street, work with stocks and bonds, trying to predict market
trends, trying to forecast the weather, trying to predict political windfalls or
even financial budgeting… that glimpse into the future has its roots firmly
based in the ancient art of fortune telling. Yes you are a fortune teller!
Yes, You are a
fortune teller. I am sure as marketing students when you are trying to
study all your sales charts, facts and figures and trying to analyze the
future, you can totally identify with my presentation.
I
have even read about presidents and prime ministers and major business
tycoons consulting fortune tellers, astrologers, and palmists before
making any major decisions.
Today I am going to
tell you about fortune cookies. I am sure all of you have enjoyed food in
Chinese restaurants, and eaten those tasty delicacies served at the end
of each meal. I am sure you have had fun reading the secret fortune
messages that pop out of them.
So here is my bag
of fortune cookies. I am going to pour them all into this tray and pass
them around. Each one of you are requested to pick one, enjoy and read
your fortune.... First I will pick one up for myself...
It will be
surprising for you to know that fortune cookies were invented in the
United States NOT in China.
Yes! These were
invented in the US!
At the beginning of the 19th century, one very
enterprising Chinese immigrant in the US was searching for business ideas.
He recalled the history of moon cakes in ancient China...
The Chinese
empire was under occupation by foreign forces. They were great tyrants and
very oppressive. There was one thing they really despised ... these were
Chinese moon cakes and would never even touch them. So the great Chinese
people started passing along secret messages baked inside the moon
cakes... these ultimately incited an uprising against the tyrants.
This idea was
used to develop the fortune cookies, and became even more popular with the
invention of technology that prevents the slip of paper from burning
inside the cookies.
Today There
are about 40 fortune cookie manufacturers in the United States alone,
producing millions of fortune cookies daily, most of them hire
professional writers to write these fortunes.
Yet, I have read
true stories about 110 people winning the lottery for between $100,000 t0
$500,000 using the numbers printed on the fortune cookie message. There
was a big investigation about this one. And it was ultimately established
that there was no fraud involved. The fortune cookie writer had used a
computer software program to generate those random numbers.
There are other
stories about people making choices about marrying their partners based on
fortune cookie predictions and living a happy life based on that choice.
Another story is
about how one person went on a really enjoyable vacation merely one week
after getting it predicted from a fortune cookie message.
So please read your
messages carefully, These messages are meant just for you. There is a very
good chance of it being a true fortune for you. Good luck.
[Please note:
About three weeks later, one of my Chinese audience members came and
thanked me profusely...
According to him he had followed the message from
the fortune cookie I had passed around during my presentation... he
was in a very stressful relationship with his girlfriend, yet was still
hanging on hoping for it to get better...
The message in his fortune
cookie was right on target to his situation so much so that he
decided to follow through on it and broke up with his girl friend!
Now he was much more
relieved and happier... that's why he was thanking me!!! Strange but
true.]
A bit of advice: Follow the Message in Your
Fortune Cookie, you just might get lucky.
