Chris' Wonderland

I do not know whose wise man wrote the following words, but I do think it important. 不景氣的社會，一定會淘汰不爭氣的人。如何不被淘汰，只要你不在這八種人之內。如果你在其中之內，那就趕緊提升來學習~~ 1》八小時之外不學習的人。 胡適 先生說：人與人的區別在於八小時之外如何運用。有時間的人不能成功，擠時間的人才能成功。八小時之內決定現在，八小時之外決定未來。什麼樣的想法什麼樣的生活。有學習才有選擇權，沒有知識，要有常識，沒有常識，走進教室。不是社會發展太快，是我們思維反應太慢，為什麼我們思維太慢，是我們沒有跟上學習。 拒絕學習，就是拒絕成長。家長不學習，會被孩子看不起並且和孩子有代溝。夫妻一方不學習，就會有隔閡，學習的人如同長高的樹，自然會有高藤來纏。一個人不學習，就會與 社會脫節，跟不上時代步伐，人活在21世紀，思想在20世紀，究竟學什麼？不是學打工的技術，而是學創業的本領。思想觀念40%+人際關係40%+專業能力20%=成功 從這個公式裡找自己的短板，缺啥學啥，社會需要啥你就學啥，不只是學感興趣的，而是學有利於社會，有利於成功的。人要有二畝田，白天是果腹的，晚上是耕種未來的。不學習是21世紀被淘汰的八種人首選第一的人。 2》對新生事物反應遲鈍的人。 任何一個新生事物的誕生都與巨大的商機掛鉤。任何一個新生事物的誕生，又都在一片反對懷疑拒絕中悄然來臨。21世紀的新生事物一定和趨勢有關，而趨勢不是用眼睛看的，是要用眼光來判斷的。誰抓住趨勢誰就抓住了未來。 不學習就會把推論當結論，用已知判斷未來，對新生事物視而不見充耳不聞，最終一定被社會淘汰。 3》靠個人能力單打獨鬥的人。 21世紀是英雄退位團隊進位的時代，抱團打天下已是趨勢，誰擁有人群，誰擁有市場，1+1=2叫數學，1+1=11叫經濟學，一根筷子能折斷，十雙筷子折不斷。 4》玻璃心，心理脆弱容易受傷害的人。 事情發生的大小不重要，而你的想法看法很重要。事情本身不傷害人，而你的想法會傷害你。 5》技能單一沒有特長的人。 就像貓與老鼠的故事一樣，貓說：“什麼年代了，一種技術能活嗎？”沒有危機是最大危機，滿足現狀是最大陷阱。人一定要在得意時給自己找退路，不要等失意時再找出路。 6》計較眼...

Dear 瑞貞： 記得嗎？這是你送我的花(草?)。 我之所有寫個草(?)，是因為月初時，它還是一盆綠葉；隨著時間溜逝，漸漸地，它已開滿花了。 你還記得嗎？ 你要我照顧它，就像照顧自己一樣。 老實說，當時，我很怕它和其他的植物一樣，會枯死在我手裡。 因為，我常常忽略它們，就像忽略我自己一樣。 前些日子，遠遠地，我看見它變白了，剛開始，以為它枯萎了，難過了一下，再向前靠近它時，才發現它開花啦！我好開心喔！ 哈哈，那是因為我每天起床的第一件事已經不再是開電腦啦，而是給它水喝、給自己弄早餐啦！中午讀書或寫書累了，就再看看它、看看窗外的景，然而再去走路、運動。 我希望它和我一樣健康快樂。 趕快拍張照片，讓你看看它的近況。 你也要和它一樣 天天健康快樂！ 新的一年，平安順遂！ 瑞貞說 ： 它是文心蘭 & 鐵線蕨！Chris說 ： Oh, I see. I see. 哲仲說 ： 錢不用多，但永遠都夠用。空閒時間也不必多，但可以四處旅遊。人不必太美太帥，但大家都喜歡。 Chris說 ： 好貪喔！

photo of the year 2008, in Shanghi New Year, New Expectation: Think hard of something to ignite my creativity, release tension, and communicate with soul beyond words.

I love the content though I did not know who wrote it. (Please let me know if you have the answer.) Let's enjoy reading it. 我那上國中的女兒，她同學都管叫她23號。 她的班上總共有50個人，而每次考試，女兒都排名23。 久而久之，便有了這個雅號，她也就成了名副其實的中等生。 我們覺得這外號刺耳，女兒卻欣然接受。老公發愁地說， 一碰到公司活動，或者老同學聚會， 別人都對自家的'小超人'讚不絕口，他卻只能扮深沉。 人家的孩子，不僅成績出類拔萃，而且特長多多。 唯有我們家的23號女生，沒有一樣值得炫耀的地方。 因此，他一看到娛樂節目那些才藝非凡的孩子， 就羡慕得兩眼放光。 後來，看到一則九歲孩子上大學的報導， 他很受傷地問女兒： 孩子，妳怎麼就不是個神童呢？ 女兒說，因為我爸爸不是神父啊 ! 老公無言以對，我不禁笑出聲來。 中秋節，親友相聚，坐滿了一個寬大的包廂。 眾人的話題，也漸漸轉向各家的小兒女。 趁著酒興，要孩子們說說將來要做什麼 ? 鋼琴家，明星，政界要人，孩子們毫不怯場， 連那個四歲半的女孩，也會說將來要做電視的主持人， 贏得一陣讚歎 ! 15歲的女兒，正為身邊的小弟弟小妹妹剔蟹剝蝦， 盛湯揩嘴，忙得不亦樂乎。 大家忽然想起，只剩她沒說了。 在眾人的催促下，她認真地回答： 長大了，我的第一志願是，當幼稚園老師， 領著孩子們唱歌跳舞，做遊戲。 眾人禮貌地表示贊許，緊接著追問她的第二志願。 她大大方方地說：我想做媽媽，穿著印叮噹貓的圍裙， 在廚房做晚餐，然後給我的孩子講故事， 領著他在陽臺上看星星。 親友愕然，面面相覷，不知道該說些什麼。 老公的神情，極為尷尬。 回家後，他歎著氣說， 你還真打算讓女兒將來當個幼稚園老師？ 我們難道真的眼睜睜地看著她當中等生？ 其實，我們也動過很多腦筋。 為提高她的學習成績，請家教，報輔導班， 買各種各樣的資料。 孩子也蠻懂事，漫畫書不看了，剪紙班退出了， 週末的懶覺放棄了。像一隻疲憊的小鳥， 她從一個班趕到另一個班，卷子，練習冊，一遝遝地做。 但到底是個孩子，身體先扛不住了，得了重感冒。 掉...

Dear L, Thank you for the text message. To be honest, I have indeed worried about my students when I knew they hadn't written their theses. I felt sad and disappointed about their attitude. About one week of conversation (via MSN), I found I was exhausted. They seemed to feel pressure from me. I can sense our relationship changed a little bit. (Perhaps it is because saying negative words or thinking negative things made me feel my disgusting.) I even think if they keep doing so, I will ask for another semester sick-leave. It means the school has no choice but to change their home-room teacher. I even told the vice class leader to pass the words to my students. I want to do so because I know if they do not change their attitude, I will feel unhappy. Such negative moods may bring them and me much pressure and a negative effect of learning and teaching. It is neither good for them nor for me. Well, as I said, I was very tired last week, so I need to force myself not to think a...

When the students do not follow the rule, what would you do? Remind them of it? Of course! But if they still ignore it again and again? Yeah, it seems I have no choice but to do so ....

Prof. S called me two days ago, telling me an interesting episode. One day while she was wondering what color of the curtain to go with her window and arguing the price with the clerk, the doctor called and told her that she had cancer. Then, she was shocked, of course, and thought forgetting about the color, the curtain or even the price. I can image the situation at that time. Since I have known her for years, I knew she is the person who takes care of every detail. The disease made her change, no choice but to change. Yes. What can be so worse than that? Few minutes later, I got a call from my colleague, complaining about my students. Haha, it indeed made me worried. Then, I started thinking …. For years, I have pushed myself and my students to go on the right track. I thought that was duty I needed to do though I felt tired especially in the past year. Anyhow, I was really tired! Right after saying the story of rock to Chuchu," he does very weird and funny gestu...

蔣勳﹕ 生命的領悟，不只是貪戀青春、歡樂，也是認識了衰敗、死亡、凋零與鬱苦。生命的完全，是在頻頻回顧的路上，終於懂了，連同傷痛與喜悅，連同恩與怨，連同生之喜樂與死亡哀傷，都應一一感謝。 (citing from 馬雨沛) 楊牧谷博士﹕ 生命的安排並不是在我的能力範圍內，而意外本來就不需徵詢我的意見。 Murphy's law: If anything c an go wrong, it will. Chris: We cannot blame Murphy’s law or Dr. Yang's theory for everything that goes wrong. If our car breaks down on the way to a job interview, we cannot say it unlucky because we did not have our car maintained and repaired. If we fail in business or schoolwork, we have no right to say God does not stand by us because we did not prepare ourselves well. If we are sick, we cannot say illness is an accident because we do not take good care of ourselves or we ignore our health for long.

Flora Expo, wait for me! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 原來台灣花博是這樣的                   2010/10/19 22:28 1995年前，我常在美國帝國大廈遙想成長的故鄉。在紐約一片燈光星海中，我看不見盡頭的另一邊，有一個島嶼，它是我安身立命的地方。在世界地圖上它那麼小，卻決定了我們的命運；除非選擇棄絕，當外國公民、拿美國護照，我們就是台灣，台灣就是我們。 2006年11月由於台北花卉協會極力爭取，台灣第一次擁有了主辦國際花博的機會。它或許沒有奧運重要，沒有世搏偉大，卻也是國際相傳了的五十年的盛典大事。與2009年高雄世運、台北聽奧不同，它展覽的期間長達半年，仿若上海世博。它不是一場開閉幕式，中間二十天體育比賽就了結了。 自1960年荷蘭鹿特丹發起國際花博以來，它已是各國展現、花卉、藝術、科技、劇場、綠色建築的比賽。 自1960年至今，50年來，這是台灣第一次，不只是第一次花博，也是史上第一次舉辦時間最長的國際博覽會盛事。 這本應是小小的台灣，史上最珍貴的榮耀片刻。但2006年11月，當台北爭得主辦權時，台灣靜悄悄的。我們國人常自嘆自己是亞細亞的孤兒，可是當少數偉大的孤兒們在海外為台灣爭取難得主辦權消息宣佈時，從來沒有如韓國麗水、中國大陸北京、上海市南京西路群眾狂歡，大放煙火為他們慶賀。相反地， 台北花卉協會寂寞地去，寂寞地回來。2006年11月那一年也正是紅衫軍倒扁的高潮，中央執政的行政院長蘇貞昌決定當一個漠視花博的主角，他帶著政黨偏見，把台北市當敵人，拒絕給予台灣史上最大國際博覽會應有的預算補助。( Why? Just because of the political issue?) 2007年郝市長上台，聽奧沒錢，花博更沒錢；一切都延到2008年5月馬英九上台後基本費用才全部到位。然而由於一切皆太匆促，這場目前被民進黨議員譏稱為「郝貴」的半年期國際花博，包...

Why does the sun go on shining Why does the sea rush to shore Don't they know it's the end of the world 'Cause you don't love me anymore Why do the birds go on singing Why do the stars glow above Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when I lost your love I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything's the same as it was I can't understand, no I can't understand How life goes on the way it does Why does my heart go on beating Why do these eyes of mine cry Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when you said goodbye Why does my heart go on beating Why do these eyes of mine cry Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when you said goodbye

Living your life coming from thoughts of fear will result in you attracting into your life the things you fear. However, if you live your life coming from FAITH that life will reward you with nothing but the best, it will.

My friend gave me a book and bade me to read it carefully. In fact, this is the fourth book that I received during the week. Haha, it is very interesting. While putting aside the English textbooks and papers, suddenly I have many Chinese textbooks on health to read. I guess my mom was right: I will be buried in books all my life. Well, that is fine with me to read different kinds of books. Here are the notes I took about the book: 1. If you can be a vegetarian, be one. Keep away from eating meat. 2. Get rid of the salty and fatty food as well as food in high sugar, but go for more fibers. That is, eat fruit and vegetables. 3. Milk is noxious (Really? I didn’t know that. I doubt actually.) 4. Exercise at least 15 to 30 even to 45 minutes per day. (Haha, I seldom do it.) 5. Think positively. (No problem at all.) 6. Eat organic food. 7. Vitamin C. 8. Take steam shower. 9. Contact music and flowers or art to relax yourself.

It is Chris, who just had surgery and came back from the hospital. Everything goes fine with me. (No worries.) The medical treatment still needs to last a few months. What I feel uncomfortable is I cannot have fun with you and I cannot be active and energetic as I usually did before. You know, Chris is the person who never stops. Getting together with you is especially interesting and always makes me young. Haha! My sweet students, do you still have fun learning English? Do you all pay attention to the substitute teachers? Perhaps it is lucky for you to have different kinds of teachers. I believe you can learn a lot from them. Though I have been feeling tired, I still have some energy to read your paper. Hey, the ones who do not finish assignment and the ones who do not work hard must be very careful--because I am WATCHING YOU!

I cannot believe what the doctor said. I cannot believe I could act as nothing happened. I cannot believe my friends treat me so... usually nice. I cannot believe my friends try saying sweet to me. I cannot believe I wrote many emails and made many phone calls, quitting everything and preparing all the teaching stuff I cannot believe I want my mini-teachers to be responsibility for the English class, teaching them in private as if I am dying. Indeed,   I ask the doctor how long I can live.

I have been sleeping too long. Wake up! All the dizziness will be wiped out! 7000 Vocabulary A wisp of smoke is curling up from the kitchen chimney. The light broke the night's solitude.

I told Chu that I'd rather happily die than painfully right after today's check. As usual, he responded to me in his special humor to end the conversation. Then, I read the words that Frederik gave me and smiled to myself. Yeah, I won't blame anyone because I am lucky enough to have everything in life. "No matter what goes wrong in your life, you are not to blame. Blame is a 'disabling condition' that makes you feel powerless. Blame robs you of your power and prevents you from turning something bad in your life into something good." I shifted my focus, watching students' talk on the videos and laughing ....

I got a card from the authority. Usually I'd throw it into the can even without skimming the content. Then, I'd talk to myself why not save the money and do something meaningful. This year at this moment, however, I was exhausted to focus on real stuff, so I read the card for pleasure. Accidentally, I found I was impressed by two lines below that I'd like to share with you all here. 講台上、書桌旁，不變的是 我 的身影； 吵雜中、喧嚷時，不變的是 我 的熱情。

People usually have very high expectations of others such as parents to their children and teachers to their students. However, when their children or students cannot meet the requirement, they feel depressed and unhappy. They feel how come they work so hard but cannot make young generations strike a chord with them. Haha! It seems we all know the theory, but we still insist on it. Why is this? Is it that people naturally feel like they are always right? Is it that they think they are more important than everyone else in the world? While we sense the situation, what can we do? Switch our mood and switch our focus!

I miss the days we got together! You are the angels in my mind!

Once you accept, for better or worse, that you are who you are, the way you are, you will never again waste a minute of your time comparing yourself to another. And with all that free time on your hands you will be able to create the life you want, your way.

Time flies. It is a new semester again! Recalling what I have done in the past year, I start feeling confused whether I want that kind of life again.

「教師要有愛心，要有奉獻精神，不能天天為自己爭權益。」教育部長吳清基、臺北縣長周錫瑋昨天不約而同表示，教師應該要多一點愛心，才能受到社會尊敬。吳清基指出，大部分的教師都很有愛心，但近來教師會只擔心教師的工作負擔會增加，不優先考量學童的權益，令他感到難過。 ...... 【楊惠芳／臺北報導】

Though it might be an old story, it is worth reading again and again especially in the period of choas. A woman living in downtown Ontario, Canada came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat." "Is the man of the house home?" they asked. "No", she replied. "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a house together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked. One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Lov...

July 14, 2010 I've been in moods for days. I've tried to focus on my stuff but still couldn't get our of myself. While reading the article issued by DailyOM. Once again, it inspires me. IMoving through Darkness The Places We Go Often it takes something major to wake us up, to shake us loose from our ego’s grip as it struggles to maintain an illusion of control. In life, most of us want things to go to the places we have envisioned ourselves going. We have plans and visions, some of them divinely inspired, that we want to see through to completion. We want to be happy, successful, and healthy, all of which are perfectly natural and perfectly human. So when life takes us to places we didn’t consciously want to go, we often feel as if something has gone wrong, or we must have made a mistake somewhere along the line, or any number of other disheartening possibilities. This is just life’s way of taking us to a place we need to go for reasons that go deeper than our own...

For a long time, I have been a person who always falls asleep very quickly. That is because I have been working super hard and completely exhausted. Indeed, when the mentor teacher program provides me with a chance to reflect myself so that I can pause for a while to think to myself what I have done in the past year. How amazing it is! I have been working as a writer for papers, textbooks, teaching material, a teacher for teaching different levels of students, and even a guide for helping my colleagues. In addition, I have been acting as sponge to absorb everything that I am interested in—taking photography classes, shooting films, learning various computer software packages. Although I am not that capable to finish every task, I am a perfectionist who always asks oneself to reach the ideal. However, I got insomnia recently. People say that insomnia is often caused by overwork, but I’d like to say it is caused by something that weighs on one's mind. At least, I am. I have had seve...

Thank you. （一）人生福禍無常，誰也不知可以活多久，有些事情還是早一點說好。 （二）我是你的父親，我不跟你說，沒有人會跟你說。 （三）這備忘錄裏記載的，都是我經過慘痛失敗得回來的體驗，可以為你的成長省回不少冤枉路。 以下，便是你在人生中要好好記住的事： （一）對你不好的人，你不要太介懷，在你一生中，沒有人有義務要對你好，除了我和你媽媽。至於那些對你好的人，你除了要珍惜、感恩外，也請多防備一點，因為，每個人做每件事，總有一個原因，他對你好，未必真的是因為喜歡你，請你必須搞清楚，而不必太快將對方看作真朋友。 （二）沒有人是不可代替，沒有東西是必須擁有。看透了這一點，將來你身邊的人不再要你，或許失去了世間上最愛的一切時，也應該明白，這並不是什麼大不了的事。 （三）生命是短暫的，今日你還在浪費著生命，明日會發覺生命已遠離你了。因此，愈早珍惜生命，你享受生命的日子也愈多，與其盼望長壽，倒不如早點享受。 （四）世界上並沒有最愛這回事，愛情只是一種霎時的感覺，而這感覺絕對會隨時日、心境而改變。如果你的所謂最愛離開你，請耐心地等候一下，讓時日慢慢沖洗，讓心靈慢慢沉澱，你的苦就會慢慢淡化。不要過分憧憬愛情的美，不要過分誇大失戀的悲。 （五）雖然很多有成就的人士都沒有受過很多教育，但並不等於不用功讀書，就一定可以成功。你學到的知識，就是你擁有的武器。人，可以白手興家，但不可以手無寸鐵，謹記！ （六）我不會要求你供養我下半輩子，同樣地我也不會供養你的下半輩子，當你長大到可以獨立的時候，我的責任已經完結。以後，你要坐巴士還是Benz（賓士），吃魚翅還是粉絲，都要自己負責。 （七）你可以要求自己守信，但不能要求別人守信，你可以要求自己對人好，但不能期待人家對你好。你怎樣對人，...

Last night my students at Tamkang University asked me what the difference is between them and students at NTUST. I told them almost without thinking--students at NTUST are hardworking and students at TKU are full of imagination and creation--knowing a lot besides the content of the textbooks. In fact, both of the traits are requested in all professions. So, my sweet class, here I'd like to remind you that try hard to develop or maintain them if you have already. (I am even now doing it.)  However, I still want to remind you to stay hunger, stay foolish, said by Steve Job. By doing so, your future will become bright and successful!

更新日期:2010/05/12 16:01 文／賀先蕙 在職場上，若你準備向老闆報告事情，但是老闆突然情緒上來，抓狂咆哮，這時候，你要如何化解緊張氣氛？ 曾擔任美國聯邦調查局探員二十五年的國際級的讀心術大師喬‧納瓦羅建議，如果要向老闆報告事情，其實可以在他走在辦公室走道時就開始觀察他的肢體語言，例如他與其他同事的互動、他的呼吸是否急促、是否持續摩擦額頭，或緊咬嘴唇，這都顯示他的壓力和焦慮。 如果老闆一大早來，已經有這些肢體訊號出現，你或許該考慮一下延緩報告時機，以免自討沒趣。 若你真的得報告，那麼請記得：第一，不要站在老闆的正對面，可以稍微向後退、向旁邊站，有點角度的面向他站著。「研究顯示，稍微有角度的站著，而非正面跟一個人對看，對於舒緩彼此的壓力很有幫助，」納瓦羅強調，「這是一個面對情緒不佳的人，非常有力量卻低調的方式。」 第二，用平靜的語調傳遞你要講的內容。當一個人講話速度太快、或太大聲的時候，更容易激怒對方。用比較平緩、適中的音量傳遞你的訊息，可以幫助改善狀況。這是九大非語言指標中的「音調及站姿運用」，目的在創造舒適情境。 在簡報時，老闆忽而雙手環抱胸前，忽而側頭傾聽，如何知道他到底對你的簡報感不感興趣？納瓦羅解釋，如果對於聆聽的話題不感興趣，對方會透出的肢體訊息包括肢體緊繃、下巴向脖子縮緊，或者逃避你的眼神等。 至於環抱胸前這個舉動，納瓦羅解釋，其實不一定代表對方焦慮或不舒服。他在著作中就解釋，「手臂在身體正面交纏，對許多人來說，是一種非常舒服的姿勢；不過，當交錯雙臂是牢牢的扣住，或者手也變得緊緊抓住，這就代表不安。」 而對方如果對你談論的主題感興趣，會出現包括身體向前傾、表情放鬆、頭向旁邊偏，露出比較多的頸部等肢體動作，因為人在感到比較舒適愉快的情境下，才會露出較多的頸部。 納瓦羅也解釋，如果主管特別欣賞你的簡報，當你離開時，還有可能會拍拍你的肩膀表示鼓勵，「我們人類的特色是，當我們碰到不喜歡的東西時，我們不會想要獎勵它、不會想要碰它、不想花時間跟它在一起。」 另外，要怎麼判斷對方這樣的肢體動作是真誠的，還是勉強為之？「當對方在乎你時，是會整隻手碰觸你，從手掌到手指，非常溫暖的觸碰。但當他們不喜歡你時，通常只會用手指碰你。這在工作上或者男女關係上都是如此。」

If you know where the passages come from, please inform me. Thank you. 精神病院護理長向到院巡視官員解說每位收容病人的狀況，有位病人手中握著一張相片，一邊哭一邊用頭撞牆。 護理長說：「他曾深愛相片中的女人，無論是醒著或睡覺都不肯將照片放下，但那女人卻嫁給別人，他因此發瘋！」 這時隔壁房間有一個人也用頭用力撞牆。 官員問：「他又怎麼了？」 護理長說：「他就是娶了那位女人的人！」 → 得與失本來就沒有絕對的！ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 蒼蠅發現自己模樣很像蜜蜂，十分高興，打算冒充蜜蜂去花叢裡欺騙花的感情、盜取花蜜。 可是牠在花叢裡飛來飛去不知飛了幾個來回，卻不見有一朵花向牠綻放笑臉，牠十分不解，轉頭問蜜蜂到底原因何在？ 蜜蜂笑著回答說：「你只是外形像我，事實上並不是我，因此即使是一輩子蹲在花叢裡，花也不會把妳當成我！」 → 外表可以相似，但內涵卻是無法取代的！ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 中、俄、法、德、義籍人士相約以酒來顯示自己民族的文化，中國人拿出釀造精純的茅台，俄國人交出伏特加，法國人的香檳，義大利人亮出葡萄酒，德國人取出威士忌，眾彩紛呈。 此時老美不慌不忙將所有的酒都倒出一點，兌在一起，說：「這叫雞尾酒，它體現美國的民族精神....博採眾長、綜合創造！」 → 一個成功的人不是他們比別人行，而是能善用他人的長處！ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 法國著名化學家巴斯德有一次去巴黎參加一個學術會議時，住在一家旅店，旅店服務人員見他衣著樸素、行李簡單，以為他只是一位非常普通的客人，就把他安排在一間偏僻陰暗的小房間裡。 後來服務員無意中知道，他就是鼎鼎大名的巴斯德教授時，趕緊跑來要求幫他更換房間，並且向他道歉說：「我以為旅客的闊綽和地位，和他所攜帶的行李是成正比的，所以將您認錯了，實在是很抱歉！」 巴斯德笑著回答說：「不！我認為一個人的擺闊和他的無知才是成正比的！」 → 一個真正有身價有實力的人，是不需靠擺闊來提升自己地位的！ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *...

The ones who are doomed for success tend to find solutions; on the contrary, the ones who fail are likly to find excuses. So, don't tell you cannot or don't want to give it up without even a try!

Fram Alice 或許大家會認為被人讚美是異常簡單的事情，了不起就點頭微笑、說聲「謝謝」，或是學馬英九總統講句「謝謝指教」就可以打發了。 　　不過對我而言，我覺得「如何接受他人讚美」是一個不容小覷的學問。（《于美人黃金說話課》頁235） 于氏被讚美第一招：「別急著否定！」 　　或許很多人跟20歲之前的我一樣，很少被別人讚美過，一旦被人讚美時，難免會手足無措，這時人們最直截了當的反應就是：否定。 　　如果有人讚美我：「于美人，妳比電視上看起來還瘦耶！」時，我回應讚美的話是像「拜託～我還是一個胖子呢！」、「屁啦～你是瞎了不成，我明明這麼胖！」、「胡扯！我看電視上看起來也不會胖啊！」之類的話，你覺得讚美我的人臉上會不會出現幾條黑線呢？ 　　我曾經觀察過我工作的環境，我發現人們真的有迅速否定讚美的反射動作。這點倒是讓我感到納悶，如果你對於別人的讚美感覺彆扭，其實可以坦率地點點頭、稍微露出個笑容、就算是傻笑也無妨，或是禮貌地跟別人說聲：「謝謝。」何必要急著講出一些否定的話語呢？ 　　就像有人讚美你最近事業做得不錯，你卻用「餓不死、快活不下去了！」來回應；別人讚美妳身上衣服很漂亮，妳卻冷冷地說：「都是路邊攤買的！我又不是貴婦人。」是不是讓人接不下話呢？ 　　還有很多人會習慣用周星馳的慣用頂嘴方式來否定他人的讚美，當別人讚美你瘦，你回一句：「瘦你的頭啦～」；別人讚美你漂亮，你就頂一句：「漂你的頭啦！」、「亮你的頭啦！」……總之，只要有人想要讚美你，就一律否定到底，這真的是何苦呢？讚美既然是個禮物，那你不妨就大方收下吧！別再多花腦筋想那些否定讚美的話語了！ 于氏被讚美第二招：「收到禮物之後要立即回禮！」 　　這招算是武林絕學，各位讀者朋友一定要學起來。……如果你被讚美時覺得有點彆扭，可以用「立即回禮」的方式來消除彆扭，這就是「以其人之道、還治其人之身」的道理。 　　如果別人讚美你身上的衣服好看，你也可以讚美他身上的衣服也不賴！ 　　如果別人讚美你最近似乎春風得意，你也可以立即回贈一句：「你最近似乎也是春暖花開啊！」 于氏被讚美第三招：「直接讚美別人對你的讚美！」 　　以上的兩招似乎會遇上一個大問題——「對等性」。因為別人讚美你的優良事蹟，也許別人並未擁有，就像一位光頭讚美你的長髮飄逸、魅力無限，妳總不能不假思索地回讚一句...

I read a story passed by my friend. Although I do not know where it exactly comes from or whether it is true, I totally agree with the message it conveys. In fact, it happened to me many times. The situation usually goes like this. My student in tear felt gratitude about my help and asked me why I treated her so nice and how she could pay in return. I told her that I just did my job as a teacher, and I told her if she has ability one day, she could pass the kind to the one in need. I believe a little action can be a great value in life. Take a look and enjoy reading it. One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.' I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and w...

I do not feel good if I lose a game. Likewise, I don't feel good either if I know my students lose a game. That makes me feel I am not good enough to guide them on the right track to success. Two days ago, I have the feeling when I knew my students lost the drama competition, which made me insomnia. I did not tell them so far because I got no feedback from the competition. I am not satisfied with my performance today though I got many positive responses. However, bilingual made me confused and lost my way. Awful! Afwful! For a perfectionist, I will blame myself for long.

What I learned and heard today in the Yangmin mountains was "We need to have 'image logical thinking.'"

Be a negative puller! If you find your thoughts and conversations stuck in a negative pattern, enlist others to break the habit together. Sometimes we start out with the best intentions to think and speak only positive thoughts, but the people around us throw us off course. Not everyone fully understands the power our thoughts and words have, or even if they do, they may be stuck in old patterns of negativity. Much of our habitual communication takes the form of complaining and criticizing, and it can be hard to find a way into certain conversations without lapsing into those old habits. However, we always have the option not to participate in negativity or to find a way to influence the situation in a positive direction. In the right company, you may even be able to directly acknowledge the fact that things have taken a negative turn, thus freeing yourself and others from the negative pull.... .

Six Tips for Happiness Advice from Tal Ben-Shahar 1. Give yourself permission to be human. When we accept emotions — such as fear, sadness, or anxiety — as natural, we are more likely to overcome them. Rejecting our emotions, positive or negative, leads to frustration and unhappiness. 2. Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning. Whether at work or at home, the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable. When this is not feasible, make sure you have happiness boosters, moments throughout the week that provide you with both pleasure and meaning. 3. Keep in mind that happiness is mostly dependent on our state of mind, not on our status or the state of our bank account. Barring extreme circumstances, our level of well being is determined by what we choose to focus on (the full or the empty part of the glass) and by our interpretation of external events. For example, do we view failure as catastrophic, or do we see it ...

I had an argument with Chu last night while we were driving home. In fact, it was nothing to do with the relationship between us, but it was something to do with the opinion of helping people. The episode goes like this. One of my lower classmates who asked me to help her check the questionnaire she designed for her dissertation. As a professional, I not only gave her suggestion, but also hoped her to clarify some concepts when doing research. Then, I shared what I have done with Chu. However, Chu said that I should focus on the part she asked, not giving other suggestion because I am not her advisor. Besides, the suggestion I gave may annoy her. It is true. I had some bad experience – I received a censure about my critical remark although my intention was good. Chu just tried to remind me of the bad experience. But, .... Experiencing the argument, I especially got the insight from the following article .... As human beings, we cannot help but be subject to our preferences. However...

When I was a child, I used to be quiet. When I grow up, I hope to be quiet, too. I'm always thinking speaking too much is a symbol of showing off that will bring a negative effect in this society. However, this habit seems to make people consider I am a person who is snobbish. How ironic! Can you believe I have been told “too much pride” many times in my life? Ha! What can I say? Well, because of this, I love to immerse myself in doing new stuff and studying. That is why I am always busy. While keeping a busy life, I have strong emotion when I read the following article from DailyOM . March 1, 2010 Feeling Depleted Feeling depleted is a wake up call to slow down, rest and fill your body with vital nutrients and light from above. There are times in our lives when it seems our bodies are running on empty. We are not sick, nor are we necessarily pushing ourselves to the limit—rather, the energy we typical enjoy has mysteriously dissipated, leaving only fatigue. Many people g...

DailyOM: Reading For Pleasure February 22, 2010 When reading we remove ourselves from the confines of reality to immerse ourselves in the intrigue of the unfamiliar. Every book has the potential to touch the human soul deeply, arousing patterns of thought that might otherwise have lain dormant. The pleasure we derive from the written word is unique in that we must labor for it. Other forms of art provide us with stimulus and ask nothing more than our emotional response. Reading is an active pastime that requires an investment of emotion as well as our concentration and imagination. The words we read are merely a starting point for a process that takes place largely within our minds and hearts. There are few activities as comforting, relaxing, and healthy as perusing the pages of a good piece of fiction or nonfiction. Curling up with a book and a cup of tea is one of the simplest ways we can remove ourselves from the confines of reality in order to immerse ourselves in the drama ...

The Chinese New Year! The reunion time! It is the time for me to accompany my family--cooking, doing dishes, eating snacks, watching TV and movies, playing mahjong! Wow! What a life--easy but corruptive! I know there is a lot of stuff waiting for me, but I cannot concentrate on it. After all, Tainan is not a place to work; no wonder I do things soooooooooo slowly. Haha! That is fine! Very soon, I have to go back to Taipei! Very soon, I know my life will become hustle and bustle. Ah! It sounds the pitiful life is coming!
