Palm Pilots

Palm reading may be as good a method as any for determining your professional aptitude - according to Donna McCue, author (Pocket) Business leaders, she says, have clearly separated lines a reflection their status as independent thinkers. Their head line often ends in a triple fork, [top left] a symbol of their ability to juggle information quickly when making decisions. Other professionals who weigh two sides of an argument like lawyers and counselors, show a double fork. The method isn't foolproof of course. "What you see in your band are all the possibilities ahead of you. Think of a reading as a second opinion," says McCue, whose Web site, donnamccuc.com, offers in-depth explanations "So go for your dreams and be around the things you long for." (McCue suggests a lawyer with an artist's palm should represent people in the arts.) Client Deanna Brown, CEO of Internet start-up Powerful Media, has the clear, deep, straight lines common 10 leaders. McCue calls hers a "hand of unlimited potential." How's that for motivation? "I've had a lot of fun, though I suppose it's like being voted most likely to succeed in high school," says Brown. "Still, when someone looks at your hand and says you're going to be a wild success, you tend to think, 'Yeah, I could do that.'"
