当你听到“五行学说” : 土木水火金，我相信你与许多人一样，在你的脑海里，你认为这是一个古人的迷信。
如果我提议一个“五个关键变量的成功模式”，比如，领袖属性，虽然很重要，可是在怎样情况下，领袖质量会被什么控制，或克服，除了领袖才能能影响许多正面的效果。然后在什么其他情况下，控制领导权的东西也受到另一个变量的控制？你很可能有兴趣参与听讲。
其实，“五行学说”类似这种思维模式，把一些关键的变量的关系很有逻辑的连接在一起，并带出这些变量如何彼此有一定的自然规律的操作。
当你上完这个课程时，你不得不敬佩古人的智慧，把这个简单的思维模式能够很明确的解析各种现象，我们的不同脏腑的关系，也可以用来分析不同的饮食和情绪的关系，加以了解健康，疾病是怎么一回事。
你也会领悟到“因果”不是那么简单地什么东西造成什么的后果，而是许多因素造成什么的后果。 你也不会轻易的相信商业广告推销某种保健产品能预防癌症。

When you hear "5-Element Theory": Earth, Water, Fire, Metal and Wood, I believe that you are like many people, in your mind, you think this is an ancient superstition.
If I propose "A success model of Five Interacting Key variables", for example, leadership attributes under what circumstances, the quality of leadership will be controlled or curtailed, although the leadership ability can also bring about many positive effects. Then under what other circumstances, the thing that controls leadership is also being controlled by another variable, you are probably interested in participating in the lecture.
In fact, the "Five Elements Theory" is similar to this thinking model, which logically connects the key variables into relationship, and shows how these variables have certain natural laws of operation with each other.
When you finish this course, you will greatly admire and appreciate the ancient wisdom. This simple Thinking Model can clearly analyze various phenomena, the relationship between our different body organs, and it can also be used to analyze the relationship between different diets and emotions. This will bring about greater understanding about your health, mind, emotions, and diseases (if any).
You will also realize that "cause and effect" is not simply the consequence of something or one thing, but the consequence of many factors. You will then, not easily influenced by commercial advertisements promoting certain health product that can prevent cancer.
