本集內容：
其實Miranda是校長
MAD 集團是極少數同時擁有培訓公司與慈善基金會
以身作則，取之社會回饋社會
晚上睡一覺，隔天醒來，想法會改變
幫助別人，我感到很快樂
如果我真的愛他，我繼續去關心他
生命總有一些人聽不進去，我可以去看看世界上有其他人(他們能收到我的關心)。
銷售員問Miranda問「為什麼妳這麼開心」
不開心，皺眉頭需要用很多力氣
善意讓我們省力
我決定不要讓上個不成功的例子來影響到下個經驗
如果我連家裡的人都不能溝通，那麼我其他的事都不能成功？
接納人生無法事事完美
香港亞洲行30週年得來不易
MAD是唯一已傳承至第二代的培訓機構
畢業生三大支柱：貢獻、學習、FUN
Miranda有Beginner’s luck
MAD Charity Fund 有分享慈善活動照片
30週年慶主題：貢獻、學習、FUN
一般大眾，歡迎參加每個月慈善活動
畢業生歡迎參加Life Game (8/19)、晚會(10/13）
LifeGame是沈浸式活動看見自己一生的慣性模式
塔羅、命理、Life Game都是看見自己的慣性
量子力學 vs 親密力量工作坊
在某個層面，我們與萬事萬物都是相通的。
易經：否極泰來
香港命理大師，名片背後「若要如何，全憑自己」
WFH (work from home)變成是work here and now
疫情後，我們工作形態已經不同。
Miranda疫情後的看見，現在局勢有點混亂，我們正在經驗世界的轉變，給自己時間去接受這個轉變，讓自己變得不被取代
