还是要幸福…

I met up with your cousin brother’s wife today. Talking about how’s our relationship.

Every friend around me were filled with curiosity, kept asking me how m I doing.

Every other thing happened so fast. I did not expect it to be ended, so quickly. I’ve been thinking, what makes you so dislike me.

The memories we had, used to be so previous, but it just crashed.

I wish you well, and congratulation to you.

I hope you found the happiness you always wanted,

which I couldn’t provide.

你是要20年的工資還是要3句忠告?

(來自網路的分享)

一個男人在外工作20年,終於要回家了,老闆問他:你是要20年的工資還是要3句忠告?男人說我明天上路,明早給您答案好嗎?老闆說可以。當晚男人未眠…早晨,他對老闆說:我要3個忠告。於是老闆給他3句話。

一、不要試圖尋找不可能的捷徑,世上沒有便宜的事,只有腳踏實地才是最好的方法…無論做何事。

二、不要對明知不是好事的事過分好奇,有可能你會因此而喪命。

    三、不要在衝動時做任何決定,否則這個決定就有可能成為你一輩子的遺憾。

說完老闆給男人一些錢和三個麵包,並叮囑:最大的麵包在到家後才能吃。

男人上路了…他走了好幾天…把第一個麵包吃了一半了,沒過多久遇到一個路口,他打聽:請問到**走哪條路近?路人甲:走小路吧,近。路人乙:走大路吧,安全。他迫不急待要與妻子見面,於是走了小路。走了沒多久就聽到有路人說附近鬧山賊,於是他想起了老闆的第一個忠告:不要試圖尋找捷徑。於是他回頭去走那條大路。又走了幾天,第二個麵包也吃了一部分了…他找到一家極便宜的客棧投宿。半夜聽見有女子哭聲,他睡不下。於是決定出門看看。這時他想到了第二個忠告:不要對明知不是好事的事過分好奇。於是他又睡下了。第二日起程時,店家驚道:你還活著?!他不解,遂問原由。店家說他有個瘋女兒,發病時用哭聲引人出來再將其殺害,昨晚投宿的客人只有你一個活著。男人長歎:啊… 又走了幾天,當第二個麵包吃完時他已離家不遠了。他更加激動了。天剛黑下來沒多久,他就走到了自己的村子。到家時他剛準備敲門,卻聽到屋裡有男人的聲音。他氣極了,拿起一把砍柴刀就準備沖進屋子將那男的殺掉。但這時他想到了第三個忠告:不要在衝動時做任何決定,可能這個決定會讓你後悔一輩子。於是他冷靜下來,在屋外坐了一夜。第二天早上他很早就敲開了門,妻子見他回來十分高興。但他卻很冷漠:那個男人是誰?他妻子笑曰:那是我們的兒啊…你走後沒多久我就…這時他發現這個年輕小夥竟和自己長得相似極了。父子初次見面,相擁而泣…一陣關切過後男人拿出第三個麵包準備和妻、子一齊分享…切開之後卻發現20年的工資全在裡面。所以我們做任何事都要考慮清楚否則到最後後悔的是自己!

成大事必備9種能力、9種手段、9種心態

一:沉穩 (1)不要隨便顯露你的情緒。 (2)不要逢人就訴說你的困難和遭遇。 (3)在徵詢別人的意見之前,自己先思考,但不要先講。 (4)不要一有機會就嘮叨你的不滿。 (5)重要的決定儘量有別人商量,最好隔一天再發佈。 (6)講話不要有任何的慌張,走路也是。

二:細心 (1)對身邊發生的事情,常思考它們的因果關係。 (2)對做不到位的執行問題,要發掘它們的根本癥結。 (3)對習以為常的做事方法,要有改進或優化的建議。 (4)做什麼事情都要養成有條不紊和井然有序的習慣。 (5)經常去找幾個別人看不出來的毛病或弊端。 (6)自己要隨時隨地對有所不足的地方補位。

三:膽識 (1)不要常用缺乏自信的詞句 (2)不要常常反悔,輕易推翻已經決定的事。 (3)在眾人爭執不休時,不要沒有主見。 (4)整體氛圍低落時,你要樂觀、陽光。 (5)做任何事情都要用心,因為有人在看著你。 (6)事情不順的時候,歇口氣,重新尋找突破口,就結束也要乾淨俐落。

四:大度 (1)不要刻意把有可能是夥伴的人變成對手。 (2)對別人的小過失、小錯誤不要斤斤計較。 (3)在金錢上要大方,學習三施(財施、法施、無畏施) (4)不要有權力的傲慢和知識的偏見。 (5)任何成果和成就都應和別人分享。 (6)必須有人犧牲或奉獻的時候,自己走在前面。

五:誠信 (1)做不到的事情不要說,說了就努力做到。 (2)虛的口號或標語不要常掛嘴上。 (3)針對客戶提出的“不誠信"問題,拿出改善的方法。 (4)停止一切“不道德"的手段。 (5)耍弄小聰明,要不得! (6)計算一下產品或服務的誠信代價,那就是品牌成本。

六:擔當 (1)檢討任何過失的時候,先從自身或自己人開始反省。 (2)事項結束後,先審查過錯,再列述功勞。 (3)認錯從上級開始,表功從下級啟動 (4)著手一個計畫,先將權責界定清楚,而且分配得當。 (5)對“怕事"的人或組織要挑明瞭說。 (6)因為勇於承擔責任所造成的損失,公司應該承擔

成大事的九種手段:

1、敢於決斷--克服猶豫不定的習性 很多人之所以一事無成,最大的毛病就是缺乏敢於決斷的手段,總是左顧右盼、思前想後,從而錯失成功的最佳時機。成大事者在看到事情的成功可能性到來時,敢於做出重大決斷,因此取得先機。

2、挑戰弱點--徹底改變自己的缺陷 人人都有弱點,不能成大事者總是固守自己的弱點,一生都不會發生重大轉變;能成大事者總是善於從自己的弱點上開刀,去把自己變成一個能力超強的人。一個連自己的缺陷都不能糾正的人,只能是失敗者!

3、突破困境--從失敗中撮成功的資本 人生總要面臨各種困境的挑戰,甚至可以說困境就是“鬼門關”。一般人會在困境面前渾身發抖,而成大事者則能把困境變為成功的有力跳板。

4、抓住機遇--善於選擇、善於創造 機遇就是人生最大的財富。有些人浪費機遇輕而易舉,所以一個個有巨大潛力的機遇都悄然溜跑,成大事都是絕對不允許溜走,並且能縱身撲向機遇。

5、發揮強項--做自己最擅長的事情 一個能力極弱的人肯定難以打開人生局面,他必定是人生舞臺上重量級選手的犧牲品;成大事者關於在自己要做的事情上,充分施展才智,一步一步地拓寬成功之路。

6、調整心態--切忌讓情緒傷害自己 心態消極的人,無論如何都挑不起生活和重擔,因為他們無法直面一個個人生挫折,成大事者則關於高速心態,即使在毫無希望時,也能看到一線成功的亮光。

7、立即行動--只說不做,徒勞無益 一次行動勝過百遍心想。有些人是“語言的巨人,行動的矮子”,所以看不到更為實際現實的事情在他身上發生;成大事者是每天都靠行動來落實自己的人生計畫的。

8、善於交往--巧妙利用人力資源 一個人不懂得交往,必然會推動人際關係的力量。成大事者的特點之一是:善於靠借力、借熱去營造成功的局勢,從而能把一件件難以辦成的事辦成,實現自己人生的規劃。

9、重新規劃--站到更高的起點上 人生是一個過程,成功也是一個過程。你如果滿足于小成功,就會推動大成功。成大事者懂得從小到大的艱辛過程,所以在實現了一個個小成功之後,能繼續拆開下一個人生的“密封袋”。 可以講任何一種手段,都可以導致一種結果,但這個結果是不是最佳的結果,恐怕就很難說了。成大事者總是選擇最佳的手段,達到最完善的結果,這就是非一般人所能做到的。因此在成功之路上,你要想成大事,首先要解決的問題就是:你的手段對你推動成功的計畫是否立竿見影!

our ear

I got this note from somewhere. Thought of posting it up, maybe someone could tell me who wrote this.

 

You know that ringing sound that you will perceive when you are in a very quiet area? Some people say this is an auditory-illusion brought about the ear's inability to detect frequencies below the threshold of the human senses. This is completely wrong. That ringing covers up something else altogether. If you are quick, patient, and maybe a little lucky, you will be able to hear past the ringing. What you will hear are voices whispering to each other. They will silence themselves quickly but with practice, you will become more adept at catching and interpreting what they are saying. You will hear things of the past, the present, and the future. However, you must be careful. Because there is no such thing as a voice without a body.

 

interesting, don't you think?

EQ test

You have slightly above average EQ - with room to grow! You are likely sensitive to the emotional climate of the people around you - your peers, friends, family and key clients. You are well aware of the effect your behavior has on others. Still, while you may be adept at tuning into others and their needs - you must remember your own! Don't be afraid to honestly communicate these difficult needs and feelings. The world is well stocked with martyrs - it doesn't need any more! Think also about your passion for work (or whatever constitutes your main roles in life - manager of people, doer of tasks, 'meeter' of clients' needs, etc). We spend countless hours in our given roles - sometimes without much joy or satisfaction. In the process we become tranquilized by the trivial. Sedated by the small details of life. Sure, the laundry needs doing, the groceries need getting, the kids need chauffeuring, the deadlines must be knocked off, but we also need to stop and remember what gives us great joy and meaning. If we fail to remind ourselves (on a regular basis), we risk becoming hostile and cynical. We lose our purpose. And this translates to a diminished ability to be effective, at ease and fulfilled. Areas to work on: Ask yourself: - What situations generally create tension and stress for you? How are you handling these situations? - What negative thoughts play over and over in your mind on a regular basis? Are these a true picture of reality? - Are you afraid to share your needs and feelings with others? Is it because you are taking care of everyone else - being a martyr - or acting 'the strong, silent type'? What 3 things give you the greatest meaning in your life? If you work on gaining clarity in these areas, you will move toward maximizing your full potential and finding greater effectiveness, happiness, and fulfillment in your life.

As William James said:

I have no doubt whatever that most people live, whether physically, intellectually, or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness... much like a man who, out of his whole body organism, should get into the habit of using and moving only his little finger... We all have reservoirs of life to draw upon, of which we do not dream.
