Love is a trivial comedy made up of important tragedies.
It does not matter whom you marry with, as she will look and behave differently after wake up!
Don’t be silly that there is love, they are only trades of family relation and stock for your hope tomorrow.
Don’t fear Pressure as it turns Rusted stone into Diamond.
Believe your life is worth living, your believe will make your life Happy.
Whenever you go, take your whole heart along
Heal the past, live the present, dream the tomorrow.
The Key of happiness is having a dream, The key to success if to make the dream comes true.

生在皇帝头「一生衣食无忧」
生在皇帝头的朋友，虽然未必会拜爵封侯，但胜在家境不俗。幼年至青少年期间生活风平浪静、衣食无忧，这种福气重会持续一生。
不过，有时由于先天条件太好，令人失去奋斗动力，若能努力加把劲，成功机会比一般人高得多。
生在皇帝手「经济支柱」
生在皇帝手的人名副其实是实干型，你一生中财源不绝，而你交际手腕十分了得，是天生生意人才，所以可考虑去创业。
生在皇帝手的人如无意外必属家庭经济支柱。早年运气大多一般，但若能及早理解个人特长，再坚定向目标前进，以致到晚运，都必定能够衣食无忧。
生在皇帝肩「中年运佳」
生在皇帝肩的人早年运程并不太差，只不过身心劳累，踏入中年后（必须要结婚先得），运气及际遇则会大幅进步。财运方面，亦会由出出入入而变成多入少出。
除此之外，生在皇帝肩亦同时表示易得亲友助力，若能善用优点如同屋人合股创业，就可以增加成功机会啦！
生在皇帝膝「一生劳碌」
生在皇帝膝的人，一生比较辛苦。因为侥幸从不会降临阁下身上，而你生命中所争取到金钱、事业等，都要比其它人付出更多努力先可以达到。
你早年劳劳碌碌，中年之后亦会辛劳，但正因为天将降大任于斯人，所以你意志同毅力都会比一般人强得多。若能够抱住永不放弃精神，晚运非常不俗。
生在皇帝足「远行有发展」
生在皇帝足的人一生欠缺长辈及亲友协助，所以不要有依靠祖荫的想法。而你会成功或失败，要视乎你是否懂得自强不息。而你运气以愈离开出生旧居而变得愈好。
阁下可考虑北上或前往他方发展，说不定可令你人生出现重大转机。而生在皇帝足朋友要特别留意婚姻问题，千万别意气用事而导致感情出现裂缝。
生在皇帝腰「受宠型」
以古书而论，生在皇帝腰其实即是生在皇帝腰下跟。其特色是生来万千宠爱，用勤家运可改。因为父母亲将你视为珠宝，不但小心培育，而且亦抱有高度期望。 而你一生多有贵人扶持，步入中年后亦可获得相当稳定的富足生活。不过，你必须先克服温室性格，磨练身心且培养意志力，才可马到功成。
生在皇帝腹「才气型」
生在皇帝腹的人特别重视品味，事业方面你会追求卓越成就，加上你脑筋灵活，才气不俗，所以容易达到成功。 不过，阁下小心切勿聪明反被聪明误而好高鹜远，做事不切实际。只要阁下愿意脚踏实地，你成就必可更大及更持久

開始讀書
記者曾問英業達董事長溫世仁，有什麼話要送給年輕人？
他只說了四個字: 開始讀書...*讀書是為了讓日子變得更有趣......
" 我有個國三的女兒,她在前一陣子的保送升學甄試時只填了一個志願,結果高分落榜.
她說: 聯考名額還那麼多,我總要把機會都試過了,才能甘願......
前幾天, 收音機播出屋頂上的提琴手,她陶醉在音樂旋律中說: 很高興,我聽得懂英語......
在書店, 她翻著進口月曆,笑開了臉, 因為她看到畢卡索, 梵谷的名畫,都被改畫進了貓臉, 藝術家的幽默,使她一整天心情愉快......她說: 美術史,我沒有白念......
讀書的目的是什麼?她說:哪來那麼嚴肅?
讀書, 讓我的日子過的更有趣罷了......
那你為什麼想念第一志願的學校呢??她說: 我想把日子玩的更精采,
我想聽聽名校名師的課,我想認識一群聽得懂我說笑話的朋友......
而且, 第一志願的學校,不是用想的就可以進去念,我和我未來的好朋友,現在都在為聯考努力以赴......
我想,這就是她......人生以玩為目的.....
讀書只是讓她能玩的視野擴大,讓她更能享受生活之美的方法而已...."
"讀書......是為了讓日子變得更有趣......"
馬斯洛說過的話.......
心若改變......你的態度跟著改變

Lies of My Mother
This story begins when I was a child: I was born in a poor family. Often we hadn'tenough to eat. Whenever we had some food, Mother often gave me herportion of rice. While she was transferring her rice into my bowl, she would say "Eat this rice, son! I'm not hungry."This was Mother's First Lie.
As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a little bit more nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just two fishes, she would make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother
would sit beside me and eat the what was still left on the bone of the fish I had eaten, My heart was touched when I saw it. Once I gave the other fish to her on my chopstick but she immediately refused it and said, "Eat this fish, son! I don't really like fish."
This was Mother's Second Lie.
Then, in order to fund my education, Mother went to a Match Factory to
bring home some used matchboxes, which she filled with fresh matchsticks. This helped her get some money to cover our needs. One wintry night I awoke to find Mother filling the matchboxes by candlelight. So I said, "Mother, go to sleep; it's late: you can continue working tomorrow morning." Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, son! I'm not tired."This was Mother's Third Lie.
When I had to sit my Final Examination, Mother accompanied me. After dawn, Mother waited for me for hours in the heat of the sun. When the bell rang, I ran to meet her.. Mother embraced me and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared in a thermos. The tea was not as strong as my Mother's love, Seeing Mother covered with perspiration, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said "Drink, son!I'm not thirsty!".
This was Mother's Fourth Lie.
After Father's death, Mother had to play the role of a single parent.She held on to her former job; she had to fund our needs alone. Ourfamily's life was more complicated. We suffered from starvation. Seeingour family's condition worsening, my kind Uncle who lived near my housecame to help us solve our problems big and small. Our other neighborssaw that we were poverty stricken so they often advised my mother tomarry again. But Mother refused to remarry saying "I don't need love."This was Mother's Fifth Lie.
After I had finished my studies and gotten a job, it was time for my oldMother to retire but she carried on going to the market every morningjust to sell a few vegetables. I kept sending her money but she wassteadfast and even sent the money back to me. She said, "I have enoughmoney."That was Mother's Sixth Lie.
I continued my part-time studies for my engineering Degree. Funded by theDutch Corporation for which I worked, I succeeded in my studies. Witha big jump in my salary, I decided to bring Mother to enjoy life inHolland but Mother didn't want to bother her son; she said to me "I'mnot used to high living."That was Mother's Seventh Lie.
In her dotage, Mother was attacked by cancer and had to be hospitalized.Now living far across the ocean, I went home to visit Mother who wasbedridden after an operation. Mother tried to smile but I was heartbroken because she was so thin and feeble but Mother said, "Don'tcry, son! I'm not in pain."That was Mother's Eighth Lie.
.....
For those people who are lucky to be still blessed with your Mothers presence,
Tell your mother, “ I love You” and please care about your mother!!

Attitude is everything
John is the kind of guy you love to hate...
He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!' He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it!' 'You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?'
He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or...you can choose to be in a bad mood I choose to be in a good mood.' Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or....I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. 'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested. 'Yes, it is,' he said. 'Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.
The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life.' I reflected on what he said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.. Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.. I saw him about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins....Wanna see my scars?' I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. 'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied. 'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live.' 'Weren't you scared?
Did you lose consciousness?' I asked. He continued, '....the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.
In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.' 'What did you do?' I asked. 'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John. 'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied..' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'' Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.' He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude...
I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.' Matthew 6:34.
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

The Brick
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.
The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, 'What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?
That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money Why did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic. 'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,'
He pleaded. 'I threw the brick because no one else would stop...' With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. 'It's my brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.'
Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.'
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts.
A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door.
He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.
Thought for the Day:
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!
Send this to every 'beautiful person' you wish to bless.
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, 'What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?
That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money Why did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic. 'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,'
He pleaded. 'I threw the brick because no one else would stop...' With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. 'It's my brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.'
Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.'
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts.
A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door.
He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.
Thought for the Day:
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!
Send this to every 'beautiful person' you wish to bless.
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

做孩子的心理醫生 游乾桂 教授
我在臨床做十六年，前幾年做的是精神病人，做精神病人對於我在做親職教育有很深的影響，因為精神病人其實是在囚籠裡頭不會回來的黑暗份子。原先我跟很多人一樣，一直認為一個人會住到精神病院一定是腦袋秀斗，前半段的假設是對的，但是有一部份的假設是錯的，我們以為他笨，事實上我在醫院裡頭看到很多孩子其實很聰明。
我在醫院曾經看到一個從台大醫科畢業的孩子，我花了很長的時間跟他接觸，他只要看到穿白袍的人走近，就會狠狠的瞪著對方，有時甚至會無預警的搥對方，所以所有的醫護人員都很怕他。我大概花了三個月的時間才可以跟他坐下來慢慢談，大概半年後他才能意識到我對他的關心。我常常利用下班時間去陪他下五子棋，也就是從這兒開始，讓我覺得很難過。我常在想：「一個這麼聰明的孩子，為什麼現在只能跟我坐在這兒下五子棋？」於是，我開始追尋他生命的歷程。
我從他身上發現兩個秘密：第一個令我驚訝的是──他從小學到高中從來沒有考過第二名。這讓我想到了金庸筆下的一個人──東方不敗，這時我才領悟到原來東方不敗指的就是一敗塗地。有人是東方不敗，但是只要一敗就會塗地，所以由中抽離出一個很重要的物質就叫做成功。有人十幾歲就成功，有人中年成功，也有人老年才成功，但是太早成功所代表的就是壓力重重。
孩子在成長的過程裡頭並不是靠第一名長大的，他要的是學習動機，學習動機及學習歷程比學習結果重要，但是我們現在往往只在乎結果，不重視歷程，這樣一來，對孩子而言就是壓力。我們期望孩子成績好，永遠名列前茅，而孩子就會想辦法保持第一，壓力因此而來。在心理學來講這就是「高期望」，但! 是! 「高期望」＝「高壓力」。沒有一個人能夠永遠得第一，有一個專家勞瑞爾曾說：「我是物理學專家，所謂的『專家』就是在我的領域裡我會，其它的領域我就叫白痴。」但是現在我們要求我們的孩子全會，全會也就代表了全不會。所以一個人要演活自己，何謂演活自己？就是一個人演一個自己才能全心全意的演好自己，如果一個人分兩顆心，就叫做半心半意，一個人要學三樣好，就叫三心兩意，一個人要多才多藝、四項全能就叫做分明找死。因 為一個人不可能什麼都會，如果什麼都會就不叫「專家」。
從這個孩子身上我又想到金庸筆下的另外一個人，叫做獨孤求敗，獨孤倒過來就叫做孤獨，獨孤求敗好孤獨，這意謂著人在高處不勝寒。我們看到我們的孩子成績很好，考試第一名，但是我們忘記了孩子他好孤獨、好寒冷，也忘了他有壓力。所以我們一直以為孩子成績好應該很有自信，但是由研究中我們發現：成績好的孩子大多沒有自信，成績差的孩子大多數很自卑。
以前有部連續劇叫保鑣，裡面有個人物我非常喜歡，叫做賈糊塗，我喜歡他那種難得塗糊的個性，所有不能解決的問題，最後都是賈糊塗解決。我們在老子裡頭有看到一句話：大智若愚。有的時候有些人看起來笨笨的，學習笨笨的，走的笨笨的，其實是最聰明的。有很多人都是這樣子，例如非洲之父史懷哲，他是一個醫生，他的成長過程並不順遂，他大學沒考上，後來因為他手風琴拉得很好，所以進了大學唸歷史系，他大學畢業後，三十歲才開始念醫科，卅八歲醫科畢業，人生過半的史懷哲畢業之後到了非洲創造了一個不朽的基業，成為非洲之父─慈悲的代言人。
另外一位，印度的勝雄叫甘地，甘地是印度的國父，但是他在四十歲之前是紈跨子弟，他一直以為自己是英國人，穿著很英國、打扮很英國，直到有人告訴他，他是印度? 四十歲他的夢才幻滅。他四十歲的時候帶領著印度做和平的革命，創造了不朽的勝雄甘地。
還有一位我們更熟悉的人叫做 劉其偉，他今年九十二歲過逝，卅八歲才學畫，畫了廿八年，在六十六歲時才成名，活了九十二歲，但是他畫出了畫壇奇葩。
諾貝爾物理學獎的得主，有一位是日本人叫小才昌俊，他研究微粒子。他念書時的成績是慘得不能看，但他在得獎時說過一句話：「成績單不是人生的保證，我就是例子。」
我花很多時間在做研究、做實驗，所以我不可能背很多東西，「背」跟「思考」、「想像」、「創意」是有差別的，我們現在的教育就是背得多分數就高，但是你可有想過，有位禪師講過一句話：「這一分鐘你找到美好，這一分鐘你就不會找到不美好」。而我的理解是：「這一分鐘你拿書來背，這一分鐘你就不會思考、不會想像、不會創意。」因為它同時進行，但是未來的世界是送給會想的人，不是送給會背的人。
1965年的諾貝爾物理學獎得主叫費曼，他曾說過他爸爸送給他三個能力：會思考、會想像、有創意。從他爸爸的教育中他才知道，一個問題可以有很多個答案。宇宙是無限大，而地球在宇宙中並不是唯一，我們的孩子也許可以贏得全台灣、全亞洲，甚至全世界，但是他在宇宙中還是渺小的。
很多事情以前是對的，現在卻是錯的。例如：飛機在以前不會飛是對的，現在卻是錯的。所以，我們的腦袋如果只是死記，我想孩子未來有的只是壓力，未來學歷並不難拿到，而未來徵才要的是會工作的孩子，不是會讀書的孩子。因此，我們要培養的是孩子的能力。未來有些東西? 例如：志氣要高、勇氣要足、骨氣要硬，我想這是一個孩子應該要俱備的。而這些是我在這個台大醫科的孩子身上所發現的。
另外一個秘密，就是他告訴我：「如果我學音樂，我現在會是一個快樂的音樂家。」換言之：如果他學音樂，他就不會住在精神病院，如果他沒有住在精神病院，他就會有人生。還有另外一個個案，原本應是孩子住進來，最後卻是媽媽住進來。
一個孩子他的求學過程很辛苦也很順利，因為他媽媽對他的期望很高，而他也很順遂的考上托福出國留學，在他畢業拿到學位的當天，寫了封信寄回台灣給媽媽，之後便跳河自殺死亡。信中有句話非常刺痛人心，他說：「媽媽，妳的夢，我幫妳圓了，請妳放我一馬。」媽媽看完信之後受不了，住進了精神病院。
我們千萬不要忘了，每個孩子都有適合他的位置，所謂天生我才必有用。心理學家早已提出多元智慧的理論，意思是說，每個孩子都有自己的舞台，都有一套不同的智慧結構，有些人長於音樂，有些人長於科學，有些人長於運動，會音樂的人學不成科學；會科學的孩子藝術並非頂尖；我們不要老想把孩子當做科學家來養，重要的是找出孩子擅長與眾不同的智慧。我們一定要記住一件事情：行行有狀元，而且未來一定是每一行每一業都有狀元。當然在學習、成長的過程中，孩子必? 跌跌撞撞，所以，我們要教孩子：這一條路走不通可以走另一條路，不要因一時的跌倒而失志，人生是可以轉個彎的，柳暗花明又一村，人生是可以失之東隅，收之桑榆。
你是否記得當你的孩子小時候哭鬧時，你敏銳的聽聲音便能知道他是尿床還是肚子餓。我發現在孩子六歲以前，每一個爸爸媽媽都像心理醫生，為什麼孩子長大以後，你就不像了呢？你以為孩子長大了嗎？還是你敏銳的特質不見了？還是有些東西去阻礙了你敏銳的特質？或者是你不夠用心呢？其實這些因素都包括，但是我認為不夠用心是最重要的。
心理學家皮亞傑曾說：「請你記住，孩子的名字永遠叫『小孩』。」縱使是資優，他還是小孩。專制成性的中國父母最不會利用同理心了解孩子心裡想什麼，我們以為孩子自己生的，應該了解的；其實不然，孩子在每個年紀都有一些不一樣的成長使命，三歲的孩子與十一歲的孩子絕對不一樣，孩子需要我們做父母的用心去了解。何謂了解？就是三歲時就把他當做三歲的孩子來看，五歲時就當做五歲來看，十歲時就當做十歲的孩子來看，這才是了解。
一個孩子的學習需要動機，動機是成就的原動力。例如：閱讀是一種動機，假若閱讀不是一種動機的時候，閱讀就是一種考試，如果閱讀是一種考試，那麼閱讀不會持久，也就不會有成就。因為人生是一輩子的事，閱讀也是一輩子的事，假如你唸完書就不再閱讀，那麼你就會變成草包。而做學問不是死記東西，是要知道它在哪裡。所以爸爸媽媽們對面孩子的詢問時，可以常常用「我不知道，我們一起來查書」來回答。「我不知道」表示人有進! 步! 的空間，如果全知道，就是全不知道，假若一個五歲的孩子全都知道，那就完了，表示他已經滿了。有的時候我們會覺得孩子在這個年紀不夠飽滿、不夠豐富，但是換一個角度來看，也正因為他不夠，表示他正等待吸收很多東西。所以滿分哲學到底是對或錯？一個每一次都考滿分的孩子，對他而言已經足夠了，因為他沒有再進步的空間，也不能夠退步，那麼下一次的考試該怎麼辦呢？這時他的壓力就來嘍！所以我們應該要讓孩子有進步的空間，即使退步了，我們也要給孩子鼓勵使他有唸書的動力。
孩子專心的時間會因興趣而有變化，例如對數學有興趣的孩子，他的專心時間就會加長。若孩子常常忘東忘西並不表示他不夠聰明，因為在十歲以前的孩子腦袋裡頭只能專心做一件事情，但是我們可以想別的方法加強孩子對事情的專注，使他不容易忘記。例如：下雨天時，我們可以將雨傘掛在電梯門口，提醒孩子不要忘記帶雨傘。教育是可以用很多種不同的方法，! 如! 果一種方法行不通，我們可以用二種、三種，甚至更多種，盡量少責備、多了解。
在做教育之前，我們要學會一件事：會愛自己的人才會愛別人。人生有四個要件，而這四個要件是做教育的準備：健康、快樂、時間、美好生活，若再加上一點金錢，就叫做富有的人。如果一個人只是努力工作、努力賺錢，然後逼著孩子好好讀書未來努力工作、賺錢，那麼這就叫做有錢人。
人生裡頭有二件事情是很重要的：一是努力得到我們想要的；二是享受我們得到的更為重要。我們常常盲目的生活、工作、賺錢，而賺錢的目的不就是要讓自己的生活更美好嗎？但是大多數的人卻不知道要享受我們得到的。
我認為人生過四十之後一定要有兩個圓在交集，一個圓是「精神」、另一個圓是「物質」。四十歲之前我們可能為了過更好的生活而每天工作、賺錢，假設人的一生能活八十歲，四十歲已是過半了，所以四十歲之後，我們不能永遠只想到工作而忽略了生活中的美好。要擁有美好的生活，最重要的就是要有健康，身體健康是心理健康之母，心理健康是家庭健康之母。沒有健康，教育便是虛假，所以有健康的身體才會有好心情，有好心情就不會對孩子亂發脾氣，也就能夠有耐心聽聽孩子說的話，相對的親子關係就會更融洽，家庭氣氛會更和諧。
另一個重要的要件便是快樂。現代的孩子普遍都不快樂，因為功課太多、壓力太大，所以如果孩子有機會開懷暢笑時，我們不要去嚇阻他，要尊重孩子的快樂。研究指出：快樂的人比不快樂的人學習效率多了1.76倍，假若我們的孩子是快樂的，那麼他的學習≠壓力、學習≠高期望。我們甚至可以花點心思製造快樂，例如：每天找個時間全家坐在一起說說笑話。當孩子說笑話給我們聽時，即便不好笑，我們也要笑得很開心，孩子會說得更多，並且從中得到自信與快樂。
童年，對我們來說已經是很遙遠的事，有些人甚至沒有美好的童年回憶，但我們別忘了，現在正是孩子的童年，我們有機會再過一次童年，陪著孩子一同成長、一同過童年。所以，我們要學習拒絕忙碌，錢是永遠賺不完的，事情是永遠做不完的，而孩子的童年卻只有一個，撥出一些時間陪陪孩子、了解孩子，親子關係才會建立，互動會更好。

Prayers at the Opening session of Senate
Thought you might enjoy this interesting prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate.
It seems prayer still upsets some people.. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem..
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India , Africa and Korea.
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story, and receive d a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.
With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'one nation under God.'
Nowadays , there are a lot twisted saying about what the older people we used to believe to be right and what to be wrong! What we appreacite a good man is not his heart, but his money..
We appreaciate a lady by her beauty and appearance only, does not matter she is well been edcuated at all or she is having that kind of complaisance.
Young model can be a hit once if she is pretty, long queue at the book show for model's photo album, but no one seemed to be insterested in some kind of books that is created for teachign us what good or bad is... The world is becoming skin deep, most of the people judges people by their suit but not their speech!

We Only Live Once!
No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.
No point using limited life to chase unlimited money, the heaven does not accept such kind of cash!
Money is not yours until you spend it.
Where is not enough time for life, but a lot of money waiting, where do you choose to go?
When you are young, you use your health to exchange your money; when you are getting old, you use your money to buy back your health. Difference is that, it is too late!
How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs
No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.
Don’t confuse with wealthy and richness, everyone can be rich but only a few is classified wealthy.
So the Moral of today:
Do not force yourself to do things impossible!
Relax and be a healthy man
There are Three Staff gone Dead in less than Two Months, is this one episode of life!...or...
A sign of warning to those 1,000 staff in the building who are still alive!?
So, go back home and play wiht your kids, kiss you wife whenever you can, say "I love You! " Loud to your mother and Father...
Bring them for Dim Sum Sunday Morning.... celebrate the important event with them...with good food yon can afford today!
Don't be stingy, as one day, we may have no one to share the joy, laughters of life with you...

Irreplaceable
A story worth sharing 4 years ago, an accident took my beloved away and very often I wonder, how does my wife, who is now in the heavenly realm, feel right now? She must be feeling extremely sad for leaving a husband who is incapable to taking care of the house and the kid.
B'cos that is the exact feeling that I have, as I feel that I have failed to provide for the physical and emotional needs of my child, and failed to be the dad and mum for my child.
There was one particular day, when I had an emergency at work. Hence, I had to leave home whilst my child was still sleeping. So thinking that there was still rice leftovers, I hastily cooked an egg and left after informing my sleepy child.With the double roles, I am often exhausted at work as well as when I am home.
So after a long day, I came home, totally drained of all energy. So with just a brief hug and kiss for my child, I went straight into the room, skipping dinner. However, when I jumped into my bed with intention of just having a well-deserved sleep, all i heard and felt was broken porcelain and warm liquid! I flipped open my blanket, and there lies the source of the 'problem'... a broken bowl with instant noodles and a mess on the bedsheet and blanket!Boy, was I mad! I was so furious that I took a clothes hanger, charged straight at my child who was happily playing with his toy, and give him a good spanking!
He merely cried but not asking for mercy, except a short explanation:"Dad, I was hungry and there wasn't anymore leftover rice. But you were not back yet, hence I wanted to cook some instant noodles. But I remembered you reminding me not to touch or use the gas stove without any adults around, hence I turned on the shower and used the hot water from the bathroom to cook the noodles. One is for you and the other is for me. However, I was afraid that the noodles will turn cold, so I hid it under the blanket to keep it warm till you return. But I forgot to remind you 'cos I was playing with my toys...I am sorry Dad..."
At that moment, tears were starting to run down my cheeks...but I didn't want my son to see his dad crying so I dashed into the bathroom and cried with the shower head on to mask my cries. After that episode, I went towards my son to give him a tight hug and applied medication on him, while coaxing him to sleep. Then, it was time to clear up the mess on the bed. When everything was done and well past midnight, I passed my son's room, and saw that he was still crying, not from the pain on his little buttock, but from looking at the photograph of his beloved mummy.
A year has passed since the episode, I have tried, in this period, to focus on giving him both the love of his dad and mum, and to attend to most of his needs. And soon, he is turning seven, and will be graduating from kindergarten. Fortunately, the incident did not leave a lasting impression on his childhood memories and he is still happily growing up.
However, not so long ago, I hit my boy again, with much regret. This time, his kindergarten teacher called, informing me of my son's absence from school. I took off early from work and went home, expecting him to explain. But he wasn't to be found, so I went around our house, calling out his name and eventually found him outside a stationery shop, happily playing computer games. I was fuming, brought him home and whack the hell out of him. He did not retaliate, except to say, 'I am sorry, Dad'. But after much probing, I realized that it was a 'Talent Show' organized by his school and the invite is for every student's mummy. And that was the reason for his absence as he has no mummy..
Few days after the caning, my son came home to tell me, the kindergarten has recently taught him how to read and write. Since then, he has kept to himself and stayed in his room to practise his writing, which I am sure, would make my wife proud, if she was still around. 'cos he makes me proud too!Time passes by very quickly, and soon another year has passed. It's winter, and its Christmas time. Everywhere the christmas spirit is in every passer-by...Christmas carols and frantic shoppers....but alas, my son got into another trouble. When I was about to knock off from the day's work, the post office called. Due to the peak season, the post master was also on an edgy mood. He called to tell me that my son has attempted to post several letters with no addressee.
Although I did make a promise never to hit my son again, I couldn't help but to hit him as I feel that this child of mine is really beyond control. Once again, as before, he apologized, ' I'm sorry, Dad' and no additional reason to explain. I pushed him towards a corner, went to the post office to collect the letters with no addressee and came home, and angrily questioned my son on his prank, during this time of the year.His answer, amidst his sobbing, was : The letters were for Mummy.
My eyes grew teary, but I tried to control my emotions and continued to ask him: " But why did you post so many letters, at one time?" My son's reply was: " I have been writing to mummy for a long time, but each time I reach out for the post box, it was too high for me, hence I was not able to post the letters. But recently, when I went back to the postbox, I could reach it and I sent it all at once...
"After hearing this, I was lost. Lost at not knowing what to do, what to say....I told my son, " Son, mummy is in the heavenly kingdom, so in future, if you have anything to tell her, just burn the letter and it will reach mummy. My son, on hearing this, was much pacified and calm, and soon after, he was sleeping soundly.
On promising that I will burn the letters on his behalf, I brought the letters outside, but couldnt help opening the letter before they turn to ash. And one of the letters broke my heart....
"Dear Mummy,I miss you so much! Today, there was a 'Talent Show' in school, and the school invited all mothers for the show. But you are not around, so I did not want to participate as well. I did not tell Dad about it as I was afraid that Dad would start to cry and miss you all over again. Dad went around looking for me, but in order to hide my sadness, I sat in front of the computer and started playing games at one of the shops. Dad was furious, and he couldnt help it but scolded and hit me, but I did not tell him the real reason.
Mummy, everyday I see Dad missing you and whenever he think of you, he is so sad and often hide and cry in his room. I think we both miss you very very much. Too much for our own good I think. But Mummy, I am starting to forget your face. Can you please appear in my dreams so that I can see your face and remember you? I heard that if you fall asleep with the photograph of the person whom you miss, you will see the person in your dreams. But mummy, why havent you appear?"After reading the letter, I cant stop sobbing. 'cos I can never replace the irreplaceable gap left behind by my wife....

For the females with children:
Don't do so much overtime. If you cannot finish the work, it must be some kind of problems within the company, and it is not your sole problem. Feedback to your boss. Endless overtime may not necessary be the answer to the problem. Take care of your health so that you can treasure and take care of your little precious.
For the married men:
Drink less, smoke less, b'cos nothing can replace your good health, not even business nor clients.Try thinking this way, are you able to work till your clients are totally dependent on you? or your boss is totally dependent on you? In this society, no one is indispensable.Take care of your health, so that you can take care of your little precious and your loved ones.

Like Father Like Son
The father 86 old and he had given most of his retirement fund to his son to pay for the mortgage and he left almost nothing for his living.
He had been having dementia for a few years. He could not eat properly and caused the dinning table a mess every time after his meal. His son’s wife was shouting loud and made complaints whenever she cleaned the table!
Sooner his son tried to put him at the corner of the dinning room, give him all kinds of disposable paper cups and plates such that his wife would not talk much about it.
The old pa took it not say anything as he is old and he has to rely on his son income to support him for a living, That is already very good not kicking him away at the street like some of the morons are doing in Hong Kong…
One day Old man’s grandson said told his parents the shop at the concern of the street he used to buy that kind of disposable cup and plate was closed, probably he had to buy a lot at better discount as from the whole seller.
His father felt strange and said, “Why? Son, Your Grandpa is very old already and he might not be able to live long, there is no need to buy so many at all!”
His Son said to their parent though grand father was old and it was more advisable to buy in preparation as one day his Father and Mother would one day in need this disposable stuffs…..
********************
The moral of this story is, how do you treat your father, will be expecting the same you child treating you sooner!
I do hope my daughters and son will not treat me this way!!

Food Posioning
Taiwan, a woman suddenly died unexpectedly with signs of bleeding from her ears, nose, mouth & eyes. After a preliminary autopsy it was diagnosed death due to arsenic poisoning death.
Where did the arsenic come from? The police launched an in-depth and extensive investigation. A medical school professor was invited to come to solve the case. The professor carefully looked at the contents from the deceased's stomach, in less than half an hour, the mystery was solved. The professor said: 'The deceased did not commit suicide and neither was she murdered, she died of accidental death due to ignorance!'
Everyone was puzzled, why accidental death? The arsenic is of the U.S. military for carrying rice seedlings H Gao. The professor said: 'The arsenic is produced in the stomach of the deceased.' The deceased used to take 'Vitamin C' everyday, which in itself is not a problem. The problem was that she ate a large portion of shrimp/prawn during dinner. Eating shrimp/prawn is not the problem that's why nothing happened to her family ever though they took the same shrimp/prawn.
However at the same time the deceased also took 'vitamin C', that is where the problem is! Researchers at the University of Chicago in the United States, found through experiments, food such as soft-shell shrimp/prawn contains a much higher concentration of - five potassium arsenic compounds.
Such fresh food by itself has no toxic effects on the human body! However, in taking 'vitamin C', due to the chemical reaction, the original non-toxic - five potassium arsenic (As anhydride, also known as arsenic oxide, the chemical formula for As205) changed to a three potassium toxic arsenic (ADB arsenic anhydride), also known as arsenic trioxide, a chemical formula (As203), which is commonly known as arsenic to the public! Arsenic poisoning have magma role and can cause paralysis to the small blood vessels, "mercapto Jimei"??, inhibits the activity of the liver and fat necrosis change Hepatic Lobules Centre, heart, liver, kidney, intestine congestion, epithelial cell necrosis, telangiectasia. Therefore, a person who dies of arsenic poisoning will shows signs of bleeding from the ears, nose, mouth & eyes. Therefore; as a precautionary measure,
DO NOT take shrimp/prawn when taking 'vitamin C'.

暴斃之謎
台灣，一名女人突然無緣無故的七孔流血暴斃，一夜之間，就奔赴黃泉大家下回可 要 多多注意囉！經過初步驗屍 . 斷定為因砒霜中毒而死亡。那砒霜從何而來？ 警員展開了深入而廣泛的調 查。一名醫學院的教授被邀趕來協助破案。 教授仔細地察看了死者胃中取物，不到半個小時，暴斃之謎便 揭曉。教授 說：「死 者並非自殺，亦不是被殺，而是死於無知的『它殺』」！ 大家莫名其妙，何為『它殺』！？那砒霜又是從 韟茖荂 H 教授 說：「砒霜是在 死 者 腹 內 產生的。」
死者生前每天也會服食「維他命 」，這完全沒有問題！問題出在她 晚 餐吃了大量的蝦,吃蝦本身也是沒有問題的，所以她的家人吃了都沒有事，但死者卻同時服用了「維他命 C 」，問題就出在這裡 ! 這種物質食入體內，本身對人體並無毒害作用！但是，在服用「維生素 C 」之 後，由於化學作用，使原來無毒的－五鉀砷 (即砷酸酐，亦稱五氧化砷，其化學式為 As205) ，轉變為有毒的三鉀砷 ( 即亞砷 酸 酐 ) ，又稱為三氧化二砷，其化學式為 (As203) ，這就 是人們俗稱的砒霜 ! 砒霜有原漿毒作用，能麻痺細血管,抑制巰基梅的活性，並使肝臟脂變肝小葉中心壞死，心、肝、腎、腸充血，上皮細胞壞死，毛細血管擴張。故中其毒而死者，常是 七竅出血。

死者生前每天也會服食「維他命 」，這完全沒有問題！問題出在她 晚 餐吃了大量的蝦,吃蝦本身也是沒有問題的，所以她的家人吃了都沒有事，但死者卻同時服用了「維他命 C 」，問題就出在這裡 ! 這種物質食入體內，本身對人體並無毒害作用！但是，在服用「維生素 C 」之 後，由於化學作用，使原來無毒的－五鉀砷 (即砷酸酐，亦稱五氧化砷，其化學式為 As205) ，轉變為有毒的三鉀砷 ( 即亞砷 酸 酐 ) ，又稱為三氧化二砷，其化學式為 (As203) ，這就 是人們俗稱的砒霜 ! 砒霜有原漿毒作用，能麻痺細血管,抑制巰基梅的活性，並使肝臟脂變肝小葉中心壞死，心、肝、腎、腸充血，上皮細胞壞死，毛細血管擴張。故中其毒而死者，常是 七竅出血。
所以；為慎重起見，在服用「維生素 C 」期間，應當忌食蝦類。

There is too many stories of success, and too many sample of so called successful men been seen as celebrities in from of the publicity.
But how knows how much hard work they have been working and did they best they can make at the top of his peak in his career?
Imagine that you are the Vice President of the world largest consumer product group of business which has a capability of few Billions of dollar profit every year. And you work hard from eight to seven everyday and working at your tiny and crackberry for push mails after office hours! Imagine you had to talk to your beloved that sorry you had to leave for attend a phone conference during your vacation to Phuket or New Zealand?
When we you wife called you to the office asking when you could reach home for dinner, you were seem unable to meet the committed time to reach home afterwards! When you daughter shows you her examination result you could hardly hard to find 30 mins. of time for you to review with her result and give your comment on how she is studying. Sometimes you had hard time to memorize all the birthdays of your wife, mother, daughter and son. Do not mention anniversary of marriage.
On the other hand in front your handful good friends eye can show off our recent purchased Limited edition of Patek Philippe Complication watch or a skeleton Platinum Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar driven by a tiny and sophisticated Tourbillion? You had a pair of Rockport loudpskeakd weighed 250Kgf each, your new order Porsche twin turbo car?!
Well, is that an insignia of success? Is that the ultimate target that you would expect an appreciation from your friends, customer, supplier, friends and people you meet at restaurant and banks? Is that the kind of recognition when you select you car makers type instead of the function of it, is that you care more about where your house is situated more than the house itself as to tell which part of Hong Kong you are from?
No, I do not think so, as you know you should be aware that the God will one day testify you when you are at Top of Peak of your carrier, your successful in digging more fortune from your investment and your job?
A friend of mine is a VP of a world largest business player of consumer communication device. What I know him is that he got the supreme power to mobilize resources from one supplier to another, he is well paid at USD$300K a year, he is a man of knowledge, capability, management skill and charisma. Who knows that one day all theses will be taken away as their European headquarters closed the operations in USA! And at the same time his house was totally demolished by torando! But I think he should be glad that one thing he was blessed with his family, everyone in the family is untouched in the accident, they can start all over again. Who know one day he can be a CEO of a fortune 500 company, Who knows of he will be the mayor of the City?
All we have to do is to take a brake when we reach the top of peak in your career, try to figure out what if I would be CEO of a Company, what’s the next target? And what if I reach the new target then, what else I can do to make my fame, money and power be expanding?
Hold a while a think if that is the target of your life, you should move on in their direction, however, are there some more meaningful things you have not done yet…?
How you seen you daughter grown up and get marriage with her beloved boy friend? Did you feel regret that actually you had made mistakes in some of the decision that caused a lot of people loss of their jobs and their families went into trouble for years? Do you think that you should help to create more job opportunity for the society when you are the Powerful CEO? Mayor of a city or a wealthy celebrity of the society? Did you try to give away some of your possession or asset that could possibly helping other families living much better without any effect to your quality of living? There are still a lot of thing we have not accomplished…
Well, Chinese tradition is to try to keep the power and Asset and pass on to his son and daughters. But does it help them at all? Yes, If I were them probably I do the same., but I would leave some of them for the other people who I even Never seen, known them at all, As God said, to give is better than to Take..
Recently God took two lives in our companies, one by the H1N1 and one is unknown, could not wake up one Saturday morning, aged 30 , single…
PHD holder…
Well, Today we are still alive, try to do something helping other people in need and take a few seconds in the morning on what we should do helping people in the Day.

Congratulations to those who were born in 40's, 50's and 60's
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE1940's, 50's, and early 60'sFirst, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos.
They took aspirin, ate century eggs, salted fish, salt eggs and bean Curb, raw egg products, Sardines sliced pork from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
We never washed hands and never had soap for hand washing and had never heard of SARS, HiN1, HiN2 or H1NN!!
We eat cockroaches, spider, swallowed new borne mice… we did no get stomach trouble.
We go beach learning swimming alone, we did not get drowned, I Went to Kowloon City to watch the drugs addicts on how to “take” their opium and heroin, and I did not get on it.
We ate rice with lark and soya sauce in winter, a lot of eggs, but seem we had no cholesterol problem. Probably we did not have KFC, MacDonald, Pizza Hut, or Burger King too much at that time.
We ate butter not plastic as we put a lot of butter onto the bread, a lot of sugar into the milk tea but we did not have any diabetes. May be we had a lot of walking and a lot of sweat all day outside the house.
I walked to School everyday about loom from Ngai Tau kok to Mongkok Queen Elizabeth School in order to save 40 cents to buy toys, only till now I know that was a great training to my heart and cardiac system.
As children, we would hardly have experienced ride in cars at all till I was 20, we had not seen any car accidents as we had no air bags.
We drank water from the park hose and NOT from a bottle. As we did not buy water in bottle in that time, No one I know bought water, we went to toilet in the park and drink like a fish after the game.
As I did not know what Supermarket or Seven Eleven as we did not have. Only we could go home for boiled water. That took half an hour on foot.
We ate a lot of moon cakes, no one stops us and no one get problem after the moon cake, Nowadays, no one can afford to take 2 double yolk Moon cake a day We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight.
because......WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our hand made go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the road at Caine Road, only to use our foot as the brakes. We went up hill catching spider for collection, never afraid of being bite.
We went to the Big World Cinema for watching movie at HKD0.2 a movie Sunday Morning. I can still remember all the stories of the movie, though it was black and white but we find a lot of excitement. Now you can watch any movie at home VOD, of DVD, but seems that is too easy to get and too easy to forget!
We did not have Play stations, Nintendo Wii , X-boxes, no video games at all, no video/dvd films, No mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside to the gathering places and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were noLawsuits from these accidents.We eat a lot of oily stuff in the Chinese New Year but never filled enough, we were hungry as we played a lot.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
We went to Peddler Street to watch other school girls real underwear and bet the colour for ten cents, Not like those stupid chap that watch it on the monitor sceen on internet...nowadays!
We poured water and stuffed used battery cells into cars exhaust pipe and watched from far and see how the water jet and smokes would be generated! Especial treat to thought who drove a big car with a Star in the front.
Our parents didn't invent stupid names for their kids like Chloe, Kitty, Yuki Victoria…but father in church assigned us names with Peter, Paul, Mary and Sandy!
Mother went to church for milk powder and raised a family of 2 boys and two girls! We did not feel shame as that was very Delicious milk drinks.
We had public exams and we had no one go for suicide for unexpected result. I was happy to go for technical school as I did not feel shame not able to enter The University of Hong Kong and programmed to be lawyers, Doctor and or Architect after three years.
And YOU are one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS!You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

Same Service
Same Service ·
A husband visited a marriage counselor and said, "When we were first married, I would come home from the office, my wife would bring my slippers and our cute little dog would run around barking.
Now after ten years it's all different, I come home, the dog brings the slippers and my wife runs around barking."
"Why complain?" said the counselor. "You're still getting the same service!"
Love Your Enemy
From his death bed, the husband called his wife and said, "One month after I die I want you to marry Samy." "Samy! But he is your enemy!"
"Yes, I know that! I've suffered all these years so let him suffer now."

快樂其實是一種習慣
" 快樂" 其實是一種習慣 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
一大早，我跳上一部計程車，要去台北郊區做企業內訓。因正好是尖峰時刻，沒多久車子就卡在車陣中，此時前座的司機先生開始不耐地嘆起氣來。隨口和他聊了起來：「最近生意好嗎？」後照鏡的臉垮了下來，聲音臭臭的：
「有什麼好？到處都不景氣，你想我們計程車生意會好嗎？
每天十幾個時，也賺不到什麼錢，真是氣人！」 嗯，顯然這不是個好話題，換個主題好了，我想。
於是我說：「不過還好你的車很大很寬敞，即便是塞車，也讓人覺得很舒服……」
他打斷了我的話，聲音激動了起來：
「舒服個鬼！不信你來每天坐12個小時看看，看你還會不會覺得舒服！？」接著他的話匣子開了，抱怨政府無能、社會不公，所以人民無望。
我只能安靜地聽，一點兒插嘴的機會也沒。
兩天後同一時間，我再一次跳上了計程車， 再一次地要去郊區同一家企業做訓練，然而這一次，卻開啟了迥然不同的經驗。
一上車，一張笑容可掬的臉龐轉了過來，
伴隨的是輕快愉悅的聲音：「你好，請問要去哪?」 真是難得的親切，我心中有些訝異，隨即告訴了他目的地。
他笑了笑：「好，沒問題！」
然而走沒兩步，車子又在車陣中動彈不得了起來。前座的司機先生手握方向盤，開始輕鬆地吹起口哨哼起歌來，顯然今天心情不錯。
於是我問：「看來你今天心情很好嘛！」 他笑得露出了牙齒：「我每天都是這樣啊，每天心情都很好。」
「為什麼呢？」我問：「大家不都說景氣差，工作時間長，收入都不理想嗎？」
司機先生說：「沒錯，我也有家有小孩要養，所以開車時間也跟著拉長為 12 個小時。不過，日子還是很開心過的，我有個祕密 ……」
他停頓了一下：「說出來先生你別生氣，好嗎？」
當然好，只要是快樂的祕密，我這個念過心理學的都感興趣。
他說：「 我總是換個角度來想事情。例如，我覺得出來開車，其實是客人付錢請我出來玩。
像今天一早，我就碰到像你這樣的先生，花錢請我跟你到陽明山去玩，這不是很好嗎？等下到了陽明山，你去辦你的事，而現在是花季，我就正好可以順道賞賞花，抽根菸再走啦！」
他繼續說：「像前幾天哦，有一對情侶去淡水看夕陽，他們下車後，我也下來喝碗魚丸湯，擠在他們旁邊看看夕陽才走，反正來都來了嘛，更何況還有人付錢呢？」
漂亮！多精采的一個祕密！
我突然意識到自己有多幸運，一早就有這份榮幸，跟前座的EQ高手同車出遊，真是棒極了。 又能坐車，心情又開心，這樣的服務有多難得，我決定跟這位司機先生要電話，以後再邀他一起出遊。接過他名片的同時，他的手機鈴聲正好響起， 有位老客人要去機場，原來喜歡他的不只我一位，相信這位EQ高手的工作態度，不但替他贏得好心情，也必定帶進許多生意。

We will meet again
Dame Vera Lynn, DBE (born 20 March 1917) is an English singer whose career flourished during World War II. Nicknamed the "The Forces' Sweetheart", the songs most associated with her are "We'll Meet Again".
The singer who 70 years ago recorded an evocative reminder of home for British soldiers fighting far away on Monday became the oldest living artist to have a No. 1 record in Britain when her album "We'll Meet Again -- The Very Best of Vera Lynn" took the top spot.
This week's British album charts were a veritable trip down memory lane -- the Beatles had 17 records in the top 100, Michael Jackson had five appearances in the top 100.
Lynn first recorded "We'll Meet Again" in September 1939, just as World War II broke out. She wasn't the soldiers' favorite right away, said Terry Charman, a senior historian at London's Imperial War Museum. But as servicemen all over the world heard Lynn on the radio -- and many saw her in person, in far-flung places like Burma and Egypt -- she became the voice that would remind them of home.

At The Peak of your career
There is too many stories of success, and too many sample of so called successful men been seen as celebrities in from of the publicity.
But how knows how much hard work they have been working and did they best they can make at the top of his peak in his career?
Imagine that you are the Vice President of the world largest consumer product group of business which has a capability of few Billions of dollar profit every year. And you work hard from eight to seven everyday and working at your tiny and crackberry for push mails after office hours! Imagine you had to talk to your beloved that sorry you had to leave for attend a phone conference during your vacation to Phuket or New Zealand?
When we you wife called you to the office asking when you could reach home for dinner, you were seem unable to meet the committed time to reach home afterwards! When you daughter shows you her examination result you could hardly hard to find 30 mins. of time for you to review with her result and give your comment on how she is studying. Sometimes you had hard time to memorize all the birthdays of your wife, mother, daughter and son. Do not mention anniversary of marriage.
On the other hand in front your handful good friends eye can show off our recent purchased Limited edition of Patek Philips Complication watch or a skeleton Platinum Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar driven by a tiny and sophisticated Tourbillion? You had a pair of Rockport loudpskeakd weighed 250Kgf each. That could possibly be driven by a transistorized power amplier that can deliver of RMS 1,500W per channel without sweating?
Well, is that an insignia of success? Is that the ultimate target that you would expect an appreciation from your friends, customer, supplier, friends and people you meet at restaurant and banks? Is that the kind of recognition when you select you car makers type instead of the function of it, is that you care more about where your house is situated more than the house itself as to tell which part of Hong Kong you are from?
No, I do not think so, as you know you should be aware that the God will one day testify you when you are at Top of Peak of your carrier, your successful in digging more fortune from your investment and your job?
A friend of mine is a VP of a world largest business player of consumer communication device. What I know him is that he got the supreme power to mobilize resources from one supplier to another, he is well paid at USD$300K a year, he is a man of knowledge, capability, management skill and charisma. Who knows that one day all theses will be taken away as their European headquarters closed the operations in USA! And at the same time his house was totally demolished by tornado! But I think he should be glad that one thing he was blessed with his family, everyone I the family is untouched in the accident, they can start all over again. Who know one day he can be a CEO of a fortune 500 company, Who knows of he will be the major of the City?
We have to take a brake when we reach the top of peak in your career, try to figure out what if I would be CEO of a Company, then what’s the next target? And what if I reach the new target then, what else I can do to make my fame, money and power to be expanding?
Hold a while a think if that is the target of your life, you should move on in their direction, however, are there some more meaningful things you have not done yet…?
How you seen you daughter grown up and get marriage with her beloved boy friend? Did you feel regret that actually you had made mistake in some of the decision that caused a lot of people loss of their jobs and their families went into trouble for years? Do you think that you should help to create more job opportunity for the society when you are the Powerful CEO of a company? Major of a city or a wealthy celebrity of the society? Did you try to give away some of your possession or asset that could possibly helping other families living much better without any effect to your quality of living? There are still a lot of thing we have not accomplished…
But how knows how much hard work they have been working and did they best they can make at the top of his peak in his career?
Imagine that you are the Vice President of the world largest consumer product group of business which has a capability of few Billions of dollar profit every year. And you work hard from eight to seven everyday and working at your tiny and crackberry for push mails after office hours! Imagine you had to talk to your beloved that sorry you had to leave for attend a phone conference during your vacation to Phuket or New Zealand?
When we you wife called you to the office asking when you could reach home for dinner, you were seem unable to meet the committed time to reach home afterwards! When you daughter shows you her examination result you could hardly hard to find 30 mins. of time for you to review with her result and give your comment on how she is studying. Sometimes you had hard time to memorize all the birthdays of your wife, mother, daughter and son. Do not mention anniversary of marriage.
On the other hand in front your handful good friends eye can show off our recent purchased Limited edition of Patek Philips Complication watch or a skeleton Platinum Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar driven by a tiny and sophisticated Tourbillion? You had a pair of Rockport loudpskeakd weighed 250Kgf each. That could possibly be driven by a transistorized power amplier that can deliver of RMS 1,500W per channel without sweating?
Well, is that an insignia of success? Is that the ultimate target that you would expect an appreciation from your friends, customer, supplier, friends and people you meet at restaurant and banks? Is that the kind of recognition when you select you car makers type instead of the function of it, is that you care more about where your house is situated more than the house itself as to tell which part of Hong Kong you are from?
No, I do not think so, as you know you should be aware that the God will one day testify you when you are at Top of Peak of your carrier, your successful in digging more fortune from your investment and your job?
A friend of mine is a VP of a world largest business player of consumer communication device. What I know him is that he got the supreme power to mobilize resources from one supplier to another, he is well paid at USD$300K a year, he is a man of knowledge, capability, management skill and charisma. Who knows that one day all theses will be taken away as their European headquarters closed the operations in USA! And at the same time his house was totally demolished by tornado! But I think he should be glad that one thing he was blessed with his family, everyone I the family is untouched in the accident, they can start all over again. Who know one day he can be a CEO of a fortune 500 company, Who knows of he will be the major of the City?

Why we can not make big money in Stock Market
Why do you find gets difficulties in getting rich from the stock market?
If you said that you could and or you are able to , I should say “ congratulations! As far a is known that 95% of the people are losing money in the stock market counting in a period of say 5 years. And only a small amount of people can actually make money through investing in the market.
When Most of the middle class Hong Kong people has some kind of mortgage with more than 30% of his income goes into the bank for his flat he is staying or the sending falt he buys for his second wife… so he had to spend the rest say 30% the money behind for his monthly expenditure.
For an instance an average manager of monthly incoming of HKD$100,000.00, he might use up 30% for his house, 30% for his wife I supporting the family in all kind of bill, children schooling fee, food, clothier and other expenditure. He might have to spend 8-10% on the family incurrence, 5% for himself.
He might have to keep some in bank for saving say 15%, so what the left behind is about to invest or to speculate on the stock market, is just 10% of his income, say HKD$10,00.00 if you are so keen I keep up with the unpredictable stock market.
So if you were good at understanding the rule of the game on some good concept stock say 1211 BYD beginning of the year, at that time it was about HKD$14.00 a shear, you bought HKD10,000 all into this share and now you would have a share value of approx HKD48.00 as it has been pushed up for 480% in 7 month. This is a very exceptional sucessfully case. And if you are unfortunate that buying some dead stock, you may lose money.
If you dare and are able to understand the market so well then some of you may get to roll up you money in many folds, but as I mentioned you basic premium is small, you would not get rich. And on the other hand, who has such kind of energy to keep up with the stock market? Chinese saying, we lose money because we have won it… When you get some appreciate on paper, your greediness would woo you releasing more of your saving into this swelling stock market, who know eventually you will be the one who can make profit on it?
I had better advise not to spend too much time, money in it.. Life can be short and can be meaningful if you can use your time with your beloved wife, daughters or perhaps more time with you friends. Do enjoy life on what you have … there is no one get starved in Hong Kong…. but there are a lot of unhappy people in Hong Kong, probably they really do not know what to do after works!

Man's best Friend
These are two of the beautiful dogs that my colleague Kim has, one is 3 years old Golden Retriever Pat and other is 10 months old Husky Pat.
There are about 400 Milions dogs on Earth, and I think there is an average 0.9 dogs is US families and 1.2 dog in Belgium! HK, less than 0.02 per family! Without a dog at home, it seems that the family is missing something, and A man should have a dog to tell he is a man who cares and I am sure man used to keep a dog would be a sentimental gentleman.
In Hong Kong Dog meat is illgal and you will be put in jail for eating dog!
In Korea! That is another world!! Man!
So Kim is the few lucky guy that he can have two huge dogs in Hong Kong.
My Little daughter love dogs too, and if I have some saving one day, I hope I can afford to keep a dog for her!
See how beautiful they are...

Music and your health
Dentist surgery
Dr. Ng asked me what sort of music I would like to listen to prior to commencement of dental surgery at his clinic at Hoi Ping Road some 22 years ago. He selected the music I requested and turned up the volume control on his Mark Levinson amplifier and it was then time to commence with the removal of my badly positioned wisdom teeth.

He selected the music I requested and turned up the volume control on his Mark Levinson amplifier and it was then time to commence with the removal of my badly positioned wisdom teeth.
He later told me that playing a piece of the patients favorite music during dental surgery was an effective way to reduce the pain and associated symptoms associated with the operation.
There have been extensive studies undertaken on how music can improve milk yields in dairy cattle; and possibly improve the quality of beef by broadcasting music in the cattle sheds. It has also been suggested that music can increase the size and quality of fruit crops.
There have been extensive studies undertaken on how music can improve milk yields in dairy cattle; and possibly improve the quality of beef by broadcasting music in the cattle sheds. It has also been suggested that music can increase the size and quality of fruit crops.
So how can music affect the human body? According to research reported at the American Society of Hypertension meeting in New Orleans.; listening to half hour of music each day may significantly lower your blood pressure.
Experiment
To test this hypothesis, a selected group of 48 adults aged between 45-70, who were taking medication to control mild hypertension, took part in the study. Of these, 28 listened to 30 minutes of “rhythmically homogenous” classical, Celtic or raga music daily while practicing slow, controlled breathing exercises, the remaining 20 participants, serving as the control group, made no changes to their daily routine.
Blood pressure readings taken after one and four weeks from the start of the study showed that systolic blood pressure- the top number in the blood pressure reading’; had dropped significantly to those participants listen to music. In contrast, the control group exhibited only small, non-significant reduction in blood pressure.
There is no prejudice in the type of music chosen as different people have different taste in music appreciation
An unconfirmed report states that heavy metal and rock and roll music can actually kill a plantation; whereas music of the classical category can actually help to stimulate bigger and more beautiful flowers.
The Effects of Music
Even though the term music therapy is fairly new in modern society, the concept and practice of using music to assist the healing process can be traced back to antiquity. One particularly interesting example, from our earlier history has been written about the Russian Envoy Count Kayserling. The Count suffered with miserable insomnia and to help him with this ith problem, he asked Johann Goldberg, a local musician to play for him at night.
The Count had informed Bach about his terrible problems with sleeplessness and had asked Bach to compose some music that might help him relax and get to sleep. Goldberg seized his harpsichord and played the music composed for the Count by Johann Sebastian Bach..
Soon Goldberg was playing the musicBach had composed for the Count’s to help him with his insomnia. . The Count arranged for Goldberg to have rooms nearby so that he could call on his services when required. The Count was so happy with the beneficial effects of this music that he rewarded Bach generously . Today this music is known as the Goldberg Variations.
Music and Mood
Think about any scary movie that you have ever seen i.e jaws! and consider the most frightening part of that movie. Try to imagine the same scene without music. . What happens to the movie? Suddenly it becomes far less frightening. The dramatic music creates the mood of fear. Music creates the mood for many settings. People who create the “atmosphere” of a movie are very aware of the powerful effect of music.
Music also sets the tone for sporting events, parades, restaurants, shopping centers, television shows, advertisements, dances, sleeping and many other places and activities. Music selection is usually precise and purposeful and selected to help create the correct ambience for that particular setting, . In many cases i.e. whilst out shopping at a major department store, you may not be aware of the music that is playing. However, , but the music has usually been specially selected for shoppers to encourage them to spend more time enjoying their shopping experience. If you go to an all-you-can-eat restaurant, you will observe different music than if you went to a very nice restaurant. In the all-you-can-eat place, the music is usually louder and peppier because the owner wants you to hurry up, eat, and get out of there. In the nice restaurant, the music is generally soft and peaceful encouraging you to stay and order more food because you don’t pay for it until you are finished.
MacDonalds
MacDonalds have done their own research, which shows that we eat according to the speed of the music being played. Therefore, when a restaurant is busy, with a queue building up, McDonalds plays fast music, thus ensuring that the customers will eat quickly, and leave the restaurant sooner, freeing up more tables for incoming t customers.
Bed time music
Whilst sleeping I try to listen to some classical music at low volume levels. One of my favorites includes selections from “ Your hundred best tunes” which was compiled following a national audience poll on Alan Keiths BBC Radio 2 on Sunday nights,. . The top ten all time classics include : No.1 Sibelius : Finlandia, No. 2 Johann Strauss: Casanove- Nuns’ Chorus, No.3 Mascagni:cavalleria Rusticana- Intermezzo, No. 4. Zeller Der Obsersteiger- Don’t be cross, No. 5 Beethoven Symphony No.”6” Pastoral Shepherds’ Thanksgiving after the storm…
I dubbed these pieces onto cassette tapes and let it play continuously until I fall asleep as I believe it helps repair my brain cells while I am sleeping…and doing some defragmentation on my brain hard disk!
I feel very passionately about the power of music to affect us, our mood certainly, but also physiologically. The rhythm in music can affect our pulse and respiration, improve relaxation and improve our general state of “well-being”. . By “Performing” music an individual can have a very effective means of expression. It’s also great for our self-esteem and confidence.
One CEO in a USA MNC had also his own special way to reduce “stage fright “ prior to giving a presentation on the company’s annual report to the media. He listened to his best favourite music loud in that morning and this had the effect of helping him deliver his presentation .
Music can be listened to, used as a means of expression, or performed.
Music can be listened to, used as a means of expression, or performed.
You don’t have to be a “musician” to enjoy playing a musical instrument. We use percussion instruments from all over the world, and can improvise with many common house hold items i.e hammer handles make great claves, broom handles and dustbins (and lids), saucepans, small branches from a tree, plastic bottle filled with rice, hardboard as a “wobble board” – just a few examples! Sing! How many of us sing in the bath/shower – wonderfully uninhibited and expressive. From many media statistics and stress management studies it is generally agreed Classical music is one of the best forms of music to calm us, invigorate us us and comfort us…
Recommendation
I would highly recommend that everybody should spend some time listening to great music whilst we are sleeping, dinning, or typing our weekly report, it helps to improve health, slow down our heart rate, reduce our blood pressure… and most of all, helps to prepare us for another long day at works…in the company. Go for it!

H1N1 and the Prevention
Most N95 respirators are designed to filter 95% particulates of 0.3µ, while the size of H1N1 virus is about 0.1µ. Hence, dependence on N95 to protect against H1N1 is like protecting against rain with an umbrella made of mosquito net.
Tamiflu does not kill but prevents H1N1 from further proliferation. H1N1, like other Influenza A viruses, only infects the upper respiratory tracts and proliferates (only) there. The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/ throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible not coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions.
Contact with H1N1 is not the problem but proliferation is. While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps - not fully highlighted in most official communications - can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. 20 seconds Hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications)
2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face
3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water. H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.
4. Have enough rest.
5. Keep you lung strong by having fresh air exercise like running or jogging.
Go hiking on week end rather than to go shopping in densely populated areas like Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway bay.
6. Eat Balanced food, take more fruit and drink enough water, avoid oily and heavy food.

Etiquette
During a good manners and etiquette class being held for young children, the teacher says to her students:"If you were courting a well educated young girl from a prominent family and during a dinner for two you needed to go to the toilet, what would you say to her?"
Mike replies: "Wait a minute, I'm going for a piss."The teacher says: "That would be very rude and improper on your part."Charlie replies: "I'm sorry I need to go to the toilet, I'll be back in a minute."The teacher says: "That's much better but to mention the word ''toilet'' during a meal, is unpleasant."
And Little Johnny says: "My dear, please excuse me for a moment. I have to go shake hands with a personal friend, whom, I hope to be able to introduce to you after dinner. "

Laugh and Your health
Function of a Kidney to filter 40 gallon of blood day that is approxmately 14,000 gallons a year.
Size of a sperm is 0.05mm, there are approx 1.7B sperm in one ejaculation.
Skin is our largest organ that can shield our body and protect us from attack of Sperm, bacteria and some virus, but when we get other skin becomes less elastic and soft and reduce the shielding effect.
We are strong, a man is strongest when he is 35 years old, and his bone can stand up to 21 adults’ weight without any breakage.
There are approx 49 germs per square inch the toilet board, where as there are 21,000 germs on the key board and your office desk. Is that Scary?
We have 3 million pores on our skin to respirate, sweat and adjust the temperature of our body.
50 Years old man’s Lung has less 40% capacity as he was in 25 years old.
When we get old say 50 years, 50% of the man has grey hair, and approx. 50% get bald.
This is no way that we can control the natural aging, exercise can maintain certain level of lubricating on our joints, lung and heart, maintain certain elasticity on our muscle.
But one thing we can control is Laugh, we laugh we have to cooperate 312 pieces of muscles in order to laugh and it pushes in aired into our lung. Many Scientific test proves that Laugh can prolong life and make us younger! believe?

Afghanistan Custom
In Afghanistan, women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.
Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women seem to, and are happy to maintain the old custom.
A Westerner approached one of the Afghani women and asked, 'Why do you seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?'
The woman without hesitation said,"Land Mines!"

Three Cases of Reversed Role
First Reversed Role
We have seen a lot of reversed role on China and USA and China and Hong Kong!
Why do I say so,,,, USA is a typical successful experimenter of Capitalist of many years and China has been an honest followers of Communism until September 2008 that Lehman Brothers melt down and collapsed. Chinese people has save habit and USA is almost zero Saving before The Lehman Brothers, after that Crisis, USA people is trying to save up more money and China has less saving as before. Probably due to the gigantic stimulus plan that Wen had exercised to support the economic growth target for 8% GPD in 2009. Some economic analyst saying that China has becoming capitalist and American are migrating from Capitalist to Communist!
Second Reversed Role
Day before yesterday there was a serious traffic accident that a mini bus crashed with a bus and the bus was not able or stop until 20 meters of the pedestrian rail had been smashed and stopped the mini bus moving further, with more than 20 people waiting for bus just like the Bowling pins were hit and wrecked. Two of the ladies were immediate killed and many of the injuries were sent to hospital, Amongst them there was a 26 years old lady who was unable to stop bleeding., It was wired to hear about as hospital operator asked the bleeding girl father for cash of HKD$21,000.00 for issuing prescription of a medication FACTOR VIIA to stop the blood! This is inhumane and unacceptable at all. Who told you to ask for money when people are caught in a life and death situation?
This is a shock to me as I though this kind of madness request was only happened in some dog hospital in China. Well this is another revere role between Hong Kong and China.
Third Reverse role, in 2018, The Shanghais middle classes family would have employed US house keepers and many of the Philippines family would have recruitedd an Hong Kong domestic helper… This is the third reverse of role!

Dental Care and Cancer!
Further to my life calculator, some one question asked me why if we uses dental floss would add 1-2 years to our life.
As you may not aware that dental hygiene is very important to our health. According to Times magazine 2004 had mentioned the invisible killer is the periodontal diseases are closely related to pancreas cancer and cardinal disease!
If we had periodontal diseases, that will have high 1.5 times having stroke than the other, and 64% having chance to get pancreas cancer, higher change to have premature baby and lighter baby.
With a close link established between osteoporosis and periodontal disease, similar treatment and management of the disease might minimize tooth loss and the destruction of the alveolar (jaw) bone," reported Palomo. By Case Western Reserve University,
So make up your mind to take care on your teeth hygience.
I have been used to clean my teeth 5 times a day since I was secondary school student.
Early in the morning, I clean once more thoroughly.
After breakfast, one more time lightly
After lunch if possible clean one time Medium work
After dinner one time and clean your teeth thorough before going to bed!
Gargle thoroughly and rinse completely with water as toothpaste contain some minor toxic substance that will not kill you in day , but harmful for your body!
Use Dental floss wax one as Recommended by Hong Kong Top Dentist TC Ng as the wax will cover the tooth which by the tooth paste active ingredients such as fluoride or xylitol can not protect that area for removal of disease gingivitis.
Man, A lot of knowledge on teeth!
