    Exercise is an attitude, love, only not a task

    Good News for ppl saying "I got no time for exercise"
    Martin Gibala, associate professor of kinesiology at McMaster University:
    (麦大运动学马丁博士的新研究发现,短时间间隔性运动比长时间锻炼更有效率)
     
    "interval-based exercise is indeed a very time-efficient training"
    "It is a demanding type of training and requires a high level of motivation. However, it might be the perfect option for those who say they have no time to exercise."
     
     
    High level of motivation? that's four fancy words, he means the "love" towards exercise I think, and I believe
     
    LOVE, is simply adequate.

    I'd love to...

    According to Mr. Richard Feynman, I understands almost nothing (except typing),

    "What I cannot create, I do not understand", rite, even we created something, we might not understand..

    But I share someone I appreciate & some books I read to you:

    Here, Some cute books in economics: (ya, crazy ones wiz some thoughts, but none of them are trivial, I see them influenced many great ppl even in HK, quoted by CEOs from Companies like Cheung Kong and so on...)

    1.

    This is the 1st one in my life: Freakonomics

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freakonomics

    it's like some kinda art of mixing science/math/philosophy/economics/psychology, not hard to understand why economics rules human society, but it tells u why.

    2. Then comes this book wiz very similar philosophy of my own by Malcolm Gladwell:

    within seconds, a lot of decisions were generated by ur smart brain wiz limited info, either good or bad, u got 2 notice it.

    Blink

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_%28book%29

    Others might find this book I'm reading interesting: The Tipping Point 

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tipping_Point_(book)

    What is the key factor that makes the difference? Can we figure it out?

    3. what is internet really good at? ask google, rite it's searching, and why searching, coz there is the thing called long tail, and how u can earn from it:

    Impossible is something to transcend

    when it is known, it is possible,
    when it is unknown (yet), it is impossible.
    since you don't like to limit yourself with unknown/known,
    why limit yourself with impossible/possible

    impossible becomes possible,
    it can't never turn back,
    unknown becomes known,
    and it can never go back either.


    潘杰客 remembers《约翰·克里斯朵夫》, & the girl he loved.
    在书的扉页上郑重地录上书里的一句话:
    真正的英雄主义只有一种,
    就是看到这个世界的本来面目,并且去热爱它。


    not hero stuff (yet), hehe, but I really love this world,
    not just because of what the reality is,
    not just because of love beyond love, wisdom beyond wisdom,
    but mostly because it contains the resulting process of impossible to possible,
    and I will be glad to be part of this process, either leading or following.


    I used to be pessimistic about human nature,
    but now I see things differently:
    Just like the war and humanity,
    it's never possible when you have to kill to survive, but when you passed the real security,
    humanity and beauty level of life, and see things from that level,
    even when you walk back to the ugliest battle field,
    you walk back with humanity,
    just like the great personnel and soldiers working for United Nations.


    And, it's not possible to progress without failures,
    failures means unlimited possibilities, because it's 0%, anything else, even 0.00001% is then

    another different story.
    Therefore the best ppl don't just know how to succeed,
    but they are experts in how to lose or how to treat their failures.
    To them,
    successful story in the past also stands for a little limitation,
    so they consider how they won't be limited by that and move on to the next level of story. To

    them, on the other hand, the winning inside of their heart is the thing they are after,
    and play bit more importantly than the outside winning.



    Dare we insist in risking the rest and challenging our heart?


    viva:
    yes, life is a total piece, and it consists of each and every part.
    Nothing are granted to be perfect, but I don't mind to go deeper for things we care,
    maybe starting,
    from build something called heart,
    from impossible to possible.
    to achieve the thing called "will" -- 意志
    which will help us all the way through it to make it possible in reality.

    Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s nuke: far-fetched noise

    Among all the security and power issues, economic security is no doubt one of the most critical one, followed by the power of armed forces.

    What if DPRK cannot achieve the first kind of security? What if they have no power to rule their own country by economy?

    Very simple, they will go for military power and they gonna rule their country by military.


    Recall that how USA put DPRK in the list of Terrorist Countries? Recall that how USA froze DPRK's bank accounts around the world? They want DPRK to go for military, because US is not afraid of DPRK's limited military powers (but I'm afraid Japan is the fell guy, simply because Japan is the first defence in USA's TMD system, rite, that's how your sweet partner treat you, Japan) and use that as an evidence to let other countries to isolate DPRK even more. (Aimed to isolate China & North Korea first)

    When it feels unsecure, what would it do when others isolate it even more?

    With the help of Mr. USA, there's absolutely no solution in this matter now, north korea might remain its isolation as

    Solution for DPRK: open + economy (impossible now)
    Solution for Japan: ease DPRK, and build your own TMD plz (possible)
    Solution for USA: support DPRK with money to avoid terrorist attacks (impossible now)
    Solution for China: calm DPRK as much as possible and lead DPRK back to the meeting table (possible)
    Solution for South Korea: don't learn from Japan, keep distance with USA to avoid the attacks (possible)
    Solution for UN: say sth. but keep trying to make dialogs (possible)

    But yes, I can understand one thing, that the Japanese would suffer most of the insecurity feelings created, coz they are really the closest piece of land in DPRK's list of attack. Japanese did ok, but their interest were just sold by USA, that's all. Good luck.



    The winner of anti-terrorist war: USA government & the war industry
    The loser of anti-terrorist war: USA residences, USA's followers & unrelated persons

    interesting, and maybe sometimes they serve to remind you of who you are as well, either in one way or the opposite.
    有意思,也许有时候他们的存在也是在提醒你是一个怎样的人,无论是从正面还是反面折射出来的这个你自己.

    True & not True

    很多人其实不太介意事实上的真真假假,他们更关心的是看起来是不是像真的或者假的.
    many people don't care about if it is really true or not, they only care if it looks like
    true or not.
    听过类似的话语吗?
    "小姐,你卖的这盆鲜花看起来颜色像假的一样,不太好,能不能帮我换一盆?"
    (hey lady, the flowers u r selling looks like fake ones, can't u exchange me another set?)
    edit(增补):另外一方面,有时候假花看起来确实比真的还要漂亮,更受欢迎.

    well, interesting, coz the flower itself is indeed real but it's not welcomed because it
    doesn't look like real. And sometimes the fake flowers look more beautiful than the real ones.
    有点讽刺,真假也被带上了人自己的情感,欲望的味道而变了.
    正常,正常,这个世界多疯狂都很正常,因为有人和人的欲望.
    所以几千年前庄子早言过,其实无论好于坏,聪明愚笨,虚情假意,真情实意,
    只不过都是人说的而已
    问题是,你在乎吗?
    you care?
    maybe
    u feel bad about their words coz u cared about how they look at you
    sometimes
    I don't give a shit actually.
    谁又真的知道或者在乎你卖这花是真的还是假的
    只不过自己的牌自己肯定是清楚的
    他们只在乎你的花漂亮美丽就可以了,所以去跟他们说真假其实也是浪费唾液.

    but as people we should care about something meaningful to us, isn't that rite?
    rite, u care about sth., u don't care about the others, u can't care about everything dude.
    just need to know which ones u really care. 自己明白就挺好的.
    所以也别批评我们的汤母克鲁斯兄弟演得不好,本来人家就是在演戏,演假的嘛,演太真了,大家都分辨
    不出来了,回家老婆还敢信他么,哈哈.
    所以我不成熟的观点
    many people don't care about if it is really true or not, they only care if it looks like
    true or not. 其实也不应责怪,本来分辨真假就不容易,不然要刑事鉴证科来吃葱吗?所以评论真假还是
    保守一点比较好.
    常遇到一来就"绝不","一定是","肯定股市暴涨"的高级化石+真主+上帝的口吻,让我好怕怕哟.
    又不是急着投胎,慢慢观察一下先,让谨慎求证一下争议何妨
    当然,同样的道理,搞政治的一定要辩解,because ppl care if it looks like right or not.
    不过有一样东西被(过多次的)观察和求证了,就是多数台湾人民喜欢扁小扁.

    有了微笑痛苦就 minimized

    zt: 水木周平,很有见地,曾受邀到凤凰的一虎一席谈当嘉宾和soho小潘谈他对于中国房地产热潮的见地,建议大家有空去看看他的文章.

    http://blog.sina.com.cn/m/shuimu

    此文甚是赞同,人的心理情绪因素只是一个multiplier,放大你的积极或者消极.可以受控是很好的,当然也不要勉强去强迫自己的心理或者情绪,适得其反.

    be realistic, 痛苦can't be eliminated, so I change the title to "有了微笑痛苦就 minimized"

     

    有了微笑痛苦就不存在
    2006-08-22 06:03:03
        最近忙得不可开交,老徐27在MSN上问我说:“先生最近可有更新。”我回答:“还未。太忙。”他便正告我说:“先生还是写一点罢,毕竟很多朋友还是喜欢来看的。”
     
     
        困难和痛苦总是叫人们不开心的,在遇见这些事情的时候人们呻吟,人们愁眉苦脸,人们哀叹,人们怒吼。
     
        你越是呻吟,越是愁眉苦脸,越是哀叹,越是怒吼就越痛苦。因为邪恶将导致邪恶。黑暗将加深黑暗。唯一能战胜痛苦的就是微笑。唯一能战胜黑暗的就是光明。虽然没有痛苦就没有快乐,虽然没有黑暗就没有光明。但我们毕竟还是喜欢快乐多一点。
     
        第一次感受到这个道理是在很小的时候,有一次我生病了。肚子痛得我很难受,于是我不住的躺在床上呻吟,哭闹。妈妈一直在一边守着我给我按摩肚子又给我喂药。可是一点用都没有,我只觉得自己快要死了。
     
        后来大半夜的时候见我还在呻吟,父亲便进来对我说:“水木周平,你是一个男人,你要坚强一点。你越哭就越疼,你笑它就不疼了。你不相信你试试!” 也许是实在受不了了,所以我抱着死马当活马医的心态,试着想了一些开心的事,还真觉得轻松了很多。很快我就睡着了。第二天精神好得不得了。父亲告诉我说:“你不过是普通拉肚子而已,吃过药当然很快就好拉。但是它疼的时候你一定不要向痛苦低头,这样它就拿你没办法了。”
     
        后来我一直把这个事情当成人生的一个信条。小的时候晕车,坐车必吐,后来我就想开心的事,就很少晕车了。后来到了外地,经历了很多事情,也有很多痛苦和伤心的时候。但是每一次我都是微笑着面对。多年以后回过头来再看那些曾经以为过不去的难关,竟然都过去了。
     
        如今我更是保持着微笑的习惯,无论有什么样的压力,无论有什么样的痛苦,我都不会低头。因为我知道我有战胜它的武器。
     
        反过来看我们做企业也是一样。无论企业多么危险,无论资金多么短缺,无论市场竞争多么险恶。只要每一个企业人都能拧成一股绳就没有过不去的难关。相反那些没了资金就慌了神,天天正事不干,只知道去跪求投资,遇见困难就哀声叹气,最后干脆散伙不干的企业都没什么出息。
     
        小心求证,大胆前进,微笑面对。这样做人生和企业便不再有痛苦。
