 You need to visualize what you want to happen and not what you fear to happen …..now
after seeing the film "the secret" my theory was intensified

Some pointers given by Metaphysist : Dr. Joe Vitale & Philosopher John Assaraf "from
the law of attraction"

1. Here , the images you hold in your mind must be absolutely clear of what you
wanted to be.
2. You should think of yourself as a magnet , you attract what you think the most
3. Thoughts are sending out that magnetic signal and that signal is drawing back
to you …
4. Thought has a frequency , it can be measured , if you want to be an archt. then
think of it over and over again and mind u , you’re emitting that frequency on a
consistent basis..
5. The law of attraction is very obedient ….
from the words of God " what ever you ask in my name it shall be given unto u
nothing is impossible with God"
6. When u think of something that u want , focus on it with all intentions and a lot
of passion ….and you’ll see it happens even faster!!

Another theory by Rev. Dr. Michael Backwith ……

" an affirmative thought is hundreds of times more powerful than a negative thought ."
we must be positive in our outlook and manifestations so that we can also attract positive
people , events and circumstances .
HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE

What to expect and how to prepare for the board exams ?

1. Memorization is necessary – you must remember many facts

In memorization graphical resolution has a greater part w/ the use of our optical
resolution it can retain almost 90% ,& this 90% perceived by the eyes can be
easily absorbed especially in History , most structures can be memorized
easily by viewing constantly .

2. Wide in Scope – from pre-historic to modern styles. History in Architecture has

a beginning but doesn’t have an end , tallest buildings today won’t be permanent .
Taipei 101 will not be the tallest building next year . It’s a continuous study .

3. Repetitive – questions from previous exams are re-used. It could help if you have
past board exam questionaires to review .
4. History amounts to only around 10% of your total score. And yet when you failed
that 10% you’ll have to retake the board exam . So still we have to make an effort
in order to cover everything and not be sorry .

OUR METHOD OF STUDYING HISTORY:

Try not to memorize… but to understand

Try to associate pictures photographic memory to your review.

History is not a list of facts… it is a story that can be retold over and over.
