Merry Christmas 2012


The Ego is an exquisite instrument. Enjoy it, use it -

 just don't get lost in it.

Ram Dass

Even if you get lost in it, that's one way to learn all 

about it.

Jim



The truth is, the more attentive we are, the less we screw up, the more clearly we come to know ourselves, the more at peace we are, and the better able we are to live the kind of life we want to live.

Reactive emotional states always begin with a single impulse - of fear, anger, jealousy, lust, etc. If we are attentive enough to see the impulse when it first arises, it is possible to avoid going down the path of events that result in a state of fear, anger, jealousy, lust, etc. It is simple - at least in principle. Ken Wilber







“There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.” – Mother Teresa, Charity Worker

「世人對愛及認同的渴望,超過對食物的飢渴。」– 德蕾莎修女








It is not feelings, it is the awareness of feelings. And that awareness itself is free of feelings and free of thoughts. And allows both feelings and thoughts to float by, just as clouds float by in the emptiness of the sky. Ken Wilber



感言 : 

好好的愛身邊的人,在工作與專業上努力取得別人的認同 。你所能獲得滋養心靈的滿足,遠遠超過購買奢侈品的虛榮。

真正的開心與快樂是來自內在發起的感受,與接受別人傳達的快樂心情所勾起的反應。

汲汲營營追求的快樂常常就是在身邊被忽略的感受,付出多一些,收回的快樂也就多一些。

看著身邊的親人或朋友的笑容 ,不由自主的跟著快樂起來。同時得到愛與認同的感覺,就是我們所追求的快樂吧。

Just Another Date ...





Just another date for Mayan calendar. The Maya actually never predicted the end of the world. 
It is people incorrectly interpreted it. 

So the Mayan apocalypse fiasco have come and gone, and life goes as usual ....


摘 錄: 鄭 丁 賢 _ 末 日 後 語 (部 分)

當你讀到今日這個專欄,證明你已經逃過世界末日浩劫,可喜可賀。

絕大部份人都活了過來,鬆了口氣;當然,不包括那些對末日論太過執著的人們。
譬如,花了500萬人民幣購買的諾亞方舟,一過了午夜12時,就成為負資產。那粒幾噸重的大鋼球,冬冷夏熱,不宜居住;要預備下一次末日之用,又得另外等個5千年。

哪些躲到法國避難小村的人們,沒有碰上末日,也沒有外星人來到;此刻才發現,小村的村夫村婦,看似單純的農民,然而精明程度不輸給華爾街的大鱷;在他家後院搭個小帳棚,收費1千美元,賺盡末日財。

或者,你因末日論而看破人生,炒了老闆魷魚,賣了房子和車子,在末日之前,做了一趟環遊世界豪華之旅,把生不帶來,死不帶去的儲蓄,一次花光。

回來之後,世界還是老樣子,銀行戶頭卻是一去不回頭。這時會發現,沒有末日的日子,比末日更充滿挑戰。

於是,末日論教會了我們許多人生道理。人,其實很渺小,也不是想像中那麼聰明;人,不能和大自然對抗,甚麼時候要你走,不由你自己決定。活著的人們,要懂得謙卑一些。

The End of the World ....



Song: The End of the World, of 60s, interesting listen to this
on eve of 21 Dec 2012, haha...


把每一天當成最後一天,活得更有意義 - 蘋果先生

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t trap by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. 

-Steve Jobs

事實上,除了接受命運,我們別無選擇,哪怕迎面而來的是重病、親人的死亡、自己的死亡。我們唯一真正能掌握的是,就是我們面對重大變故時的態度。我們永遠都該把自己當成明天就要離世的人。我們總以為眼前還有很多時間,但就是這些時間要了我們的命。
-愛爾莎.特麗奧萊,法國作家


Movie: 2012. World destroyed by water ... 


Movie: Knowing. World destroyed by fire ...


Quotes from Steve Jobs

  1. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered... to help me make the big choices in life.
  2. If today were the last day of my life, what would I want to do? I know I need to change something.
  3. Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me, going to bed at night saying we have done something wonderful, that's matters to me.
  4. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
  5. I think different religions, are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don’t. It’s the great mystery.
  6. If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things - that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present moment. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline; you have to practice it.

時間不多, 珍惜一切, 活在現在, 再給生命一次機會, 重新啓動....祝大家末日快樂 ... 




Relax and allow life to unfold
Trust me, the sun will come out tomorrow



'末日' 後的明天,明媚的陽光從外面斜斜射入, 
一样發光,   照耀大地,  充滿生命 .....
