Frank Yan of Sacramento on People Come Into Your Life For a Reason, Season, and Lifetime







Sacramento resident Frank Yan says, people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.


When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered.

And now it is time to move on.

Then people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.

They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done.

They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.


Frank Yan has made many LIFETIME friends in Sacramento that he keeps very close to with REASON. And all his friends are true LIFETIME friends for any SEASON.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on What If....







Frank Yan of Sacramento post a related article: Never Give Up

The question asked is. What if... One day Frank Yan was sitting in his Sacramento ALLDATA office pondering about these two words These two words spoken one at a time seem to appear totally harmless, however when put together it asks the question that it had made more revenue, brought in more sales, and perhaps broken more sales reps than any other two words in the world.

If said separately, WHAT and IF. There's not any harm done, now we use these 2 words hundred times a day in regular conversation. What is that, what did he say, what did you do, what does that mean; all these are questions asked everyday. If you did this then, if she had said, if that had happened, if he had done; are also statements that are used in regular conversation.

Frank Yan asks, to say the 2 words together, “WHAT IF”? When put together they both make a question, “what ifthis happened, “what if" she did, “what ifhe said, “what ifI do, “what ifI mentioned, “what if”....
The “What ifquestion has assisted in making the best inventions in this world today. These two words can question status quo and force people to look into an issue further and try new never before tried ideas. “What if can drive us into directions we never thought of. “What Ifcan stir our imagination and helps us think.

There are other times we use “WHAT IF”, and it is not a pleasant thing in this context. “WHAT IFI HAD ONLY? When “what ifis used to second guess a life long decision. Then these 2 words will become a tool of self destruction. The both could destroy a company, destroy a career, and the worst of all, it can destroy a family.

So how can we avoid the “what ifquestion? Avoid it by following the words made famous by the Nike brand, “JUST DO IT”! Begin to do more and question our selves less we will not be using “what ifin the future. Some of us may say that we are too young to have a “what ifmoment. Not correct. Regardless of age anyone could have a “what ifmoment. At any time we can recall back to a time that we made a major decision of
having a “what if moment.

Take the leap, cut the cards and roll the dice. “JUST DO IT!!”. The worst thing that can happen is that we can make a mistake. A mistake today can always be corrected. A “what ifmoment now, years from our present time will never be able to be corrected. It will be with us for the rest of our lives.

The decision is yours and in your hands. And Frank Yan of Sacramento asks...... What would it be, “WHAT IFor “JUST DO IT”?

Frank Yan of Sacramento on How To Be Charismatic







Frank Yan a local resident of Sacramento says, you may want to stand out in a crowd or just have an simplier time building rapport with new people around Sacramento. What you should want is charisma that radiates from within you that will draw people in. This is simply being about a better you and censoring yourself less when it comes to the strong points of your personality. To really shine you have to look inside yourself. You will also have to challenge yourself, because the big changes will not come when you continue to stay in your comfort zone.



•Put a smile on your face. Smiles are extremely contagious as well as welcoming. This easy simple act will really change the way the world will respond to you. Your inner positivitely and enthusiasm will make other people feel good and comfortable. Smile even when you do not feel like it that will make you at least feel a little happy.


•Be as most confident as possible. Believe in yourself and your own abilities. Stand straight and your head up high. Being wrong, or even failing, will not even kill you. It may even make your confidence even stronger.


•Be open and interested in other people. The way to make quality friends is to be a genuine friend. Refrain from trying to make people interested in you and really listen to and appreciate them. When you are open to people and never judge them. This behavior will enable them to be more willing to communicate with you. Be curious, willing to learn new things, and most important have a positve attitude.


•Be present and in the moment. Be centered and be focused and you will make people feel special. Keep good eye contact without staring and occasionally breaking it. This will display your attentiveness and interest towards that person speaking. Really listen and pay attention to the person rather of planning what you are going to say next. Pay attention to the way they feel if you need to get centered and bring yourself back into the moment of the conversation.


Frank Yan has been to multiple of mixers in Sacramento and across State. He has always has to realize his position when entering these gatherings and practice them as he has to prepare of the next element.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Tipping Etiquette







If you’re like anyone else, tipping anywhere outside of a hotel or a restaurant setting equates to a lot of confusion. Who do you tip? And if you do tip, then how much do you tip? It’s unsurprising, then, that this dilemma is something of a world-wide epidemic. Billions of people confront a similar scenario every day. When Frank Yan leaves his town of Sacramento, Frank has traveled to many destinations in and outside the country; he has experienced many services that requires tipping
.

Tipping on vacation, however, is in a completely separate realm and elevates uncertainty to a new level. In different parts of the country there is a general set of guidelines assigned to tipping that can help you redirect your focus from the logistics of tipping, back to your vacation.


Ideally, Frank Yan says you should tip as you do in the U.S., letting the size of your pocketbook and the quality of service set your tipping guidelines. “Tip-dependent” workers include waiters, bellboys, maids, diving and snorkeling guides, other tour guides, boat crews, masseuses, beauty salon operators, supermarket grocery baggers, bathroom attendants, airport luggage attendants, and gas station attendants.


Dining/Bars – The normal tip amount is 15-20% of the bill. 20% for an upscale restaurant with excellent service. Sometimes there is a national value added tax of 15% included on all restaurant bills. This is not the tip, this is a federal tax. Make sure you check the bill carefully for this 15%. Also do your own arithmetic and add the bill up yourself. Many times there are mistakes. Be sure and check to see if the restaurant has added on a tip. Some do if they think they can get away with it. Many people leave a tip equal to the 15%. Not all restaurants pay the waiters in the same way. Some restaurants pool all the tip money and divide it equally between waiter, bartender, and kitchen staff. Others allow each waiter to keep his individual tip, and he has to pay a percentage to the bartender and kitchen staff. If you pay with a credit card and add the tip to the charge, the waiter will be charged a 4% bank charge of the tip amount. Pay the tip in cash, if you can. The waiter will get more.


Daily Maid Service – At any luxury hotel or other Resort accommodation, maid services are not commonly tipped. It is a nice gesture and if service was profound for the entire stretch of your vacation, then a tip of 10-20 dollars, depending on how many shared the room, is perfectly adequate. Tips should be left on a pillow, or unmade bed, or in the mini-bar; otherwise it will not be taken.


Tour Guides – Because guides provide a service they should be tipped according to your satisfaction. 5-10 dollars should be adequate.


Masseuse - 10-15% of the price for a massage. A massage is usually one hour, and costs range from $60-120. It is a service industry, just like the rest, and if you liked it, don’t forget to tip.


Anything and everything else is fair game in terms of tipping. If extraordinary service is rendered, then don’t be cheap. Fish your pockets for a few extra dollars to express your gratitude; you never know, the result of such kindness could lead to new services or suggestions that make for a more memorable stay on your vacation.


Frank has always kept his eye open while observing many people in Sacramento or other destinations he visits don’t tip when they should. Frank has always be huge on tipping as he once was a Skycap at the Sacramento International Airport and his income derived on tips.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Your Daily Commute







Frank Yan was stuck in his daily traffic commute today on Interstate 5 going towards Sacramento to his work office at Alldata. So he decided of coming up with ways of either using the time productively or just having fun.


1. Smile at everyone who passes you by
2. Strike up a conversation with the person in the car next to you! Pretend you know them and start by saying: “I haven’t’ seen you ages. How are you?”
3. It doesn’t matter who’s watching you, sing along to the song on the radio at the top of your lungs and Let’s face you probably won’t see these people again if they catch, and if you do who cares.
4. Begin to stare into the sky above and see how many people you can get doing the same. You will be surprised.
5. To de-stress, find a good topical radio station and start calling in and get involved, or call all the radio stations and dedicate some songs to people.


These are some fun activities you may want to try to keep yourself entertained during your daily traffic hour.


On Frank’s daily commute in Sacramento, Frank everyday figures a way to keep him entertained during traffic hour. Frank Yan has a 20-30 minute commute to his Alldata office and during his commute, he may not do all the said above, however he suggests, just have a little fun in your daily commute.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Welcoming People With Open Arms







Frank Yan of Sacramento posts a related article: Creating Your Own Entertainment at the Airport

Everyone here across the globe has the chance to be welcomed warmly or welcomed cold especially passing through immigration at Sacramento International or at any other airport globally when entering a new and foriegn country. When we travel can luckily often be met with open arms and smiling face by officials. However, this isn’t always the case.

When Sacramento businessman, Frank Yan travelled to Madrid, Spain in 2009, the immigration officers at customs, he was imposed to a unilateral rule that customs implemented that he had to have 2 complete empty pages in his passport.

If there weren't any, immigration was to to relish sending Frank Yan and others back to their countries rather than being helpful and letting Him in. During Frank's experience, another passenger mentioned that this happened once before to her mother. Her mother, an 67 yr woman did fall foul of this rule. Customs should change the rule to be in line with rest of world.

Even if there are never hassles with forms and passports, going through immigration and customs at these airports Frank says it can still be an unfriendly and unpleasant experience for those traveling people.
When Frank Yan was in the airline industry working at Sacramento International, he tried to make flying an exciting experience. It would be nice if airports in which we flew too pleasantly approached you with open arms and a friendly smile and say "welcome to your destination".

The absolute 1st impression of entering a country is customs and its immigration officers at the airport. While they do the necessary job keeping security tight, Frank says there also should be people there to greet new visitors from other countries, handing out flowers or free beverages.

Frank Yan opens his question on, what airports have you traveled through internationally where you have been welcomed with open arms?

Frank Yan of Sacramento posts an article on Tetanus Vaccine







Frank Yan of Sacramento posts an article from: collective-evolution.com



I wanted to share my story about what happened when I refused my tetanus vaccine after having cut myself with a knife at home. I want to share this story not as an example of what will or will not happen every time, but more so as an example of how it’s important we stay open minded and question things before we blindly accept them.

I got into studying vaccines, their efficacy and safety a few years ago when I began to hear more and more about people being injured by vaccines. There is an unfortunate belief going around that vaccines are completely safe and scientific studies have proven this to be the case. I’m here to say, this is not true. Regardless of the fact there are studies to show efficacy and safety, there are also a large number of studies showing the dangers and lack of efficacy when it comes to vaccines. Simply search the web, published journals, study’s, books, documentaries and stories of doctors who have spoken out about this to get more information. Be careful with your sources on both sides of the argument. The existence of the argument itself shows that there is a clear case to be made when it comes to having to re-think vaccines. At this point, to continue to make uneducated decisions about vaccines has become an irresponsible choice given the amount of information now available. I’m not telling you what choice to make, but educate yourself of the dangers on both sides.

My Story


I was cutting a sweet potato one evening when I looked down and realized I had somehow sliced a decent portion of the tip of my pinky finger. I still don’t know how this happened, but it did. Immediately I knew I either needed stitches or glue to have it heal properly. I looked more closely at my finger and confirmed my initial thoughts. After applying some hydrogen peroxide, I hopped in the car with my girlfriend and we made our way to the hospital.

Upon arriving we went through the normal procedure in the emergency room; papers, name, health card etc. From there I went to the treatment room where I waited for a doctor for about 30 minutes. A young doctor shows up to the bed I was sitting on and introduced himself. He seemed friendly, nice, outgoing and willing to help. He looked at my wound, assessed the situation, heard my opinion of treatment and agreed. Glue it was. He then asked me if I had received a Tetanus shot in the past few years. Given I was 26, I was due to receive my next immunization, since I hadn’t received the shot he told me we would do that at the same time. I told him I would think about it. Of course, this was a bit of a stall tactic as I had no intention of getting the vaccine since I walked in the hospital. He pressed on. “You should really get the vaccine as if you aren’t up to date this could be fatal.I then decided to ask him what the ingredients of the vaccine were. He was a tad confused and was not sure how to answer. He ended up saying it was crushed up bits of the bacteria (not live) and it would protect against allowing the bacteria to become toxic in my body if it were present. In theory he was correct. I then asked, “Does the vaccine contain thimerosal?He looked at me and responded “I have no idea what that is.I then let him know that it was a ethylmercury and has been shown to cause neurological damage. This is where things changed.


He chuckled to himself almost as if to suggest I was believing in some conspiracy theory. “Most of what you hear about vaccines is not true. There are only a couple vaccines that have had bad effects on people.he said. It’s important to note that up until this point and for the remainder of my visit I was as kind, peaceful and nice as anyone could be in speaking with another person. I said “I’m open to some of it being overstated, but I have also researched results myself so I come asking questions because of what I have found in my research.He responded in a condescending and angry manner “Well I don’t have an information kit with me here and I don’t think these vaccines are unsafe, but the choice is still yours.We didn’t speak more about it for the next minute or so. He filled out some paperwork and then asked again if I was going to get the shot. I told him no. He then said “Well I leave it up to you, you can let the nurse know but it’s basically you get this or you die in 3 days. Tetanus can be fatal and so it’s your choice.He was also laughing and annoyed at this point because he could not believe I was questioning and challenging his authority. I kept with my decision of opting out of the vaccine and he simply walked away. There was no “bye”, no “have a nice night”, no chance for me to thank him, nothing. He simply turned around and walked away as if he was not happy with me at all.


When the nurse came over she asked me about the shot. When I refused she ran me through a quick explanation of how it was not the best choice and that I should get the vaccine in the next 3 days or else I could die. After I left the hospital I reflected on the entire experience and realized that it might be important to share this story as there are some interesting things to observe.


Question & Do Research


I don’t want to generalize, but this is not the first case I have heard, by any means, of doctors getting offended when their authority is challenged by patients. In my case, there was a clear attempt to make me fear my own death should I not follow his arrogantly delivered orders. It was very clear that me challenging him made him feel more equal to me which made him become very unpleasant and irresponsible as a doctor. One thing we all have to remember is that every person on this planet is a human being and each of us are equal. We should never look to anyone as an authority on any matter but instead take what they have given as information from their experiences and use it to formulate our own feelings and information without blindly following it. I feel this is especially the case in the medical field as people journeying through medical training are subject to a great deal of bias that comes from teachings formulated on belief. So often, as new information comes into the medical arena, it is not updated and added to what is known presently unless there is some way to profit from the information being added to the equation. We can see this through many sectors of the medical field as pharmaceuticals is ultimately what controls the natural flow of new discoveries. If something cannot be produced and sold, it is likely that it will never see the light of day.


Where students get their medical education has a direct link to the benefits of the pharmaceutical industry as they help fund and pay for much of what schools require to operate labs, equipment etc. In exchange, those companies ask them to focus on pharmaceutical drugs and certain areas of teaching and often times textbooks are even linked to large pharmaceutical companies. We can most obviously see this happening through the cancer industry as obviously there are a number of available cures yet people are coming out of med school only focusing on mainstream chemo and radiation which have low success rates and are sometimes very lethal to the human body.


I don’t intend to encourage people to never trust a doctor. Instead I encourage you to do your research before making decisions that involved vaccines and other pharmaceuticals. A doctor rarely ever tells you the damages associated with vaccines regardless of the $2.5 billion in injury awards that has been paid out to victims of vaccine injury. Doctors are doing their jobs much of the time so you can’t always blame them. But at the same time they should be
encouraged to think for themselves as well.


In my research over the years I have come across an alarming number of facts, experience and practices that make it evidently clear the mainstream medical field is not about cures and health but more so about profit and the need to create perpetual customers. I am not saying doctors have an agenda, more so that their education does and they don’t always recognize that until they begin to question it themselves. Unfortunately this usually leads to them being smeared and called a ‘quackfor their courage to start thinking differently.


Make smart and educated decisions, not decisions based around fear. This is very important whether you are choosing mainstream or alternative medicine.


Tetanus Vaccine Facts
Ingredients:
sodium phosphate, peptone, bovine extract (U.S. sourced),formaldehyde,
ammonium sulfate, , aluminum potassium sulfate, thimerosal (trace),
gelatin, polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), modified Mueller and Miller medium,
modified Stainer-Scholte medium
Thimerosal has been linked the permanent brain damage even in small doses.
Tetanus has shown a fatality of about 10% in reported cases. Although this number is considered high, if you remember from my story, I was told I was going to die in 3 days had I not taken the vaccine. While I knew he was most likely using fear tactics, many people would have simply opted in at this point.
