Don't be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you make use of.
Millions of people use organizers, palm pilots, calendars, personal assistants, sticky notes, and date books to help them manage their busy lives. Do you allow these organizers to rule your life? Do you allow space for personal time? Often we micro-manage our lives and schedule our time so much that it comes at the price of our own freedom. Instead of scheduling another meeting with your co-workers, schedule one with yourself. Make the most of today because tomorrow is never guaranteed.
Living to the fullest each day...
The Pretty Lady
Once upon a time a big monk and a little monk were travelling together. They came to the bank of a river and found the bridge damaged. They had to wade across the river. There was a pretty lady who was stuck at the damaged bridge and couldn’t cross the river. The big monk offered to carry the pretty lady across the river on his back. The lady accepted. The little monk was shocked by the move of the big monk.
“How can big disciple brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy with females?” thought the little monk. But he kept quiet.
The big monk carried the lady across the river and the small monk followed unhappily. When they crossed the river, the big monk let the lady down and they parted ways with her. All along the way for several miles, the little monk was very unhappy with the act of the big monk. He was making up all kinds of accusation! s about the big monk in his head. This got him madder and madder. But he still kept quiet. And the big monk had no inclination to explain his situation. Finally, at a rest point many hours later, the little monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily at the big monk. “How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you seize the first opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is very pretty? All your teachings to me make you a big hypocrite.”
The big monk looked surprised and said, “I had put down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come you are still carrying her along?”
[This very old Chinese zen story reflects the thinking of many people today.We encounter many unpleasant things in our life, they irritate us and they make us angry. Sometimes, they cause us a lot of hurt, sometimes they cause us to be bitter or jealous.
But like the little monk, we are not willing to let them go away. We keep on carrying ! the baggage of the “pretty lady” with us. We let them keep on coming back to hurt us, make us angry, make us bitter and cause us a lot of agony. Why? Simply because we are not willing to put down or let go of the baggage of the “pretty lady”.
We should let go of the “pretty lady” immediately after crossing the river, immediately after the unpleasant event is over. This will immediately remove all our agonies. There is no need to be further hurt by the unpleasant event after it is over. It is just that simple.]

What does 'Love' mean?
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does 'love' mean?'
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
'When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.'
Rebecca- age 8
'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'
Billy - age 4
'Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.'
Karl - age 5
'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.'
Chrissie - age 6
'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'
Terri - age 4
'Love is when my mummy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'
Danny - age 7
'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mummy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss'
Emily - age 8
'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'
Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'
Noelle - age 7
'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.'
Tommy - age 6
'During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'
Cindy - age 8
'My mummy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.'
Clare - age 6
'Love is when Mummy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'
Elaine-age 5
'Love is when Mummy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.'
Chris - age 7
'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day'
Mary Ann - age 4
'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.'
Lauren - age 4
'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.' (what an image)
Karen - age 7
'Love is when Mummy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.'
Mark - age 6
'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.'
Jessica - age 8
You never understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.
Viewing the world though another's eyes
When baby-proofing a room, what is the best way to do it? You get down on the ground and see the world through the eyes of your baby. Never before have such dangers and opportunities for mischief been so apparent! The same is true with relationships. Many times you may try to empathize with a person by saying "I know how you feel." But do you really? When a person cuts you off in traffic, do you curse them under your breath or throw an angry gesture? What if that person is really just having a hard day, dealing with an unruly toddler in the backseat? Attempting to view the world through another person's eyes builds empathy and thus a deeper understanding of that person. Think about others you conflict with before jumping to conclusions.
9.精力充沛,好动,外向
你不介意冒险,特别喜欢有趣的,多元化的工作。
相比之下,例行公事及惯例会令你没精打采。
你最兴奋的是可以积极参与任何比赛活动,因为这样你就可以在众人面前大显身手
了。

一期一会 Ichi-go ichi-e (一期一会, literally "one time, one meeting") is a Japanese term that describes a cultural concept often linked with famed tea master Sen no Rikyu. The term is often translated as "for this time only," "never again," or "one chance in a lifetime." Ichi-go ichi-e is linked with Zen Buddhism and concepts of transience. The term is particularly associated with the Japanese tea ceremony, and is often brushed onto scrolls which are hung in the tea room. In the context of tea ceremony, ichi-go ichi-e reminds participants that each tea meeting is unique.
一期一会是日本茶道用语。是利休集珠光(村田)流、绍鸥(武野)流之义理提出的重要茶之道(不是茶道),后经七哲、三千家和千宗室(里千家)、速水宗达等人传修,进一步发扬。一般认为,此理在《山上宗二记》记里表述的较清楚,但不拘于此,其他如《细川三斋茶书》(细川忠兴)亦有说明。后,因为富于禅理,成为日本佛道、茶道的重要思想、概念。
We were as one babe

A Story to live by
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.
She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'
有一位瞎女很討厭自己因為眼睛瞎了。她也討厭每個人,唯一不討厭的是她的男朋友,因為他都常守在她身旁
於是她對她的男朋友說:「如果能讓我看到這個世界,我愿意嫁給你!」
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her.
When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
有一天,有人捐了一對眼精給她。當紗布解開時,她能夠看到一切,包括她的男朋友
He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?'
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind.
The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that.
The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
男朋友問她:「現在你可以看到這世界,你愿意嫁給我嗎?
那女孩看了男朋友是個瞎子,他那對蓋上眼皮的眼睛嚇到了她,這是她無法想像
她想:要我嫁給他而一生對着他這個樣子,我無法接受。
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'
於是,她的男朋友很傷心的離開她,幾天後寫了字條給她:「親愛的,請你好好照顧你的眼睛,因為它不是屬於你的之前,它是屬於我的。」
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.
這也是人的腦會如何做當情況有所變動。只有少許人會記得他或她之前的生活及誰會在身旁當他或她處在困境的時候
Life Is a Gift
生命是一份禮物
Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
今天,當你要講一句不善之言--請想想那些無法講話的人
Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
當你要埋怨食物的味道時--請想想那些沒有食物吃的人
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.
當你要埋怨你的先生或太太時--請想想那些在向上天哭訴要一個伴侶的人
Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.
今天,當你要埋怨生活時--請想想那些太早離開人世間的人
Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
當你要埋怨小孩時--請想想那些渴望小孩而無能生育的人
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
當你要爭論沒有人清理屋子時--請想想那些住在街邊的人
Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
當你在哀訴駕駛的路程--請想想那些同樣的路程以代步的人
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
當你很疲備而埋怨工作時--請想想那些無工作,殘疾的,及那些多麼希望擁有你這份工作的人
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.
當你想要指著人或互相譴責時--請記得沒有一個人是無罪
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.
當壓抑的念頭讓你無法振作時--請你笑一笑想想:你還活著存在世間!
Interesting article shared by Yan. Thanks for sharing..
MARRIED OR UNMARRIED - READ THIS!!!
QUOTE " DO NOT LOOK BACK AND ASK WHY, LOOK FORWARD AND ASK WHY NOT"
A very valuable lesson to learn....
Interesting quote from the movie, "Why did I get married?"
In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of
what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in
your relationship. There is always another person (man or women)
that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is
lacking in your relationship that you WANT. And believe me, 20%
looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current
relationship.
But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that
good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get
something better with the other 20% that you WANT. But as reality
has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the
20% that you WANT and losing the 80% that you really NEED and that
you already had.
Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.
Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.
"Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her
Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's
also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my
spouse is not"
Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be
more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer.
Have greater sex appeal.. And you will find a woman or man who will
need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse
ever did.
Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only
have 80% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a
husband or wife looks for the missing 20%. Let's say your wife is
melancholic by nature.
You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry
laugh no matter what she says: "I broke my arm yesterday,
Hahahaha . . .."
Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling
of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young
sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black
blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt Or because your
husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet
an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.
But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.
Don't throw away the 80% that you already have!
That's not all. Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents
all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you
have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and
joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the
other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.
Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.
But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you
already have.
But I'm not just talking about marriage.. I'm talking about life!
About your jobs.
About your friends.
About your children.
About your lifestyles.
Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks
through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's
missing? "They have got more leg room! Oh my , their food is served
in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've
got personal videos!"
I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your
life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do
you know that there are many first class passengers who are
miserable in first class -- because they are not riding in a private
Lear Jet?
The main message???
If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are,
you are first class!
習慣...
習慣,就是時間累積而來的一種動作。
早上,我總是走進7-eleven。
走了走,東選西選,還是選回了每天吃的三明治。
進到辦公室坐下後,總是開了機收信,然後放歌,
看了看,上選下選,還是聽起了那首最愛聽的。
開始寫程式前,總是洗了洗杯子走近飲水機,
看著瓶瓶罐罐,最後還是拿了一包就走。
人生總有很多的選擇。
每天要面對的選擇,很多。
吃什麼,做什麼,玩什麼,看什麼....
雖然你每天都在做選擇。
不過,總是...總是...
會選回你每次選的那個。
因為習慣。
習慣,是時間累積而來的一種動作。
情人間常說:「我對你不再有愛,都變成了習慣了。」
其實,習慣並沒有什麼不好。
它讓你自然的去做。
自然的去想他,自然的去愛他。
當你已經不覺得自己在付出時,
也許你覺得,你己開始習慣,有他陪伴在你的生命中,
那才是真的愛。
有什麼不好?
我一直認為
很多事情開始要一個人獨自去做時
就失去它的意義:
當
習慣了兩個人一起吃飯
習慣了兩個人一起看書
習慣了兩個人一起工作
習慣了兩個人一起散步
習慣了兩個人一起回家
習慣了兩個人一起聊天
習慣了兩個人一起商量事情
習慣了兩個人一起發呆
習慣了兩個人一起喝咖啡
習慣了兩個人一起..........
開始一個人
很多快樂都不再了...
請珍惜你身邊所有
把握任何一個美麗的機會
失去了就不再了...
現在請你回想一下
你習慣的那個人,是不是讓你感覺很熟悉,就像家人一樣?
這種感覺,不是那麼容易就可以擁有的,應該好好的珍惜。
也許有天你失去了,才會明白這個人,在你的心理是佔了很大的位置。
好緣份是很神奇的東西,它只送給用心去經營的人。
最近你是否不再那麼用心,去關心或態度冷淡了嗎???
趕快去抓住你那個熟悉的人吧,必竟你們曾經走過那一段,不是嗎?
