In Chinese culture, the Strengths Based Approach is quite suitable. It fits people’s actual needs. I applied this approach in my practice and research work and found that the Strengths-Based Approach is an essential and indispensable element to facilitate an individual's thinking about his or her life. The Activity Guide and Participant Guide in the Appendix are quite practical for counselors and teachers working with their clients and students. Future oriented questions in the Guides will stimulate the learners’ curiosity and concerns to design their career and life in a meaningful way.
