way to be strong

quoting from a friend.."most of people are not strong."
i always think i am weak. hehe, maybe because i am the "Y generation", didn't get to experience a lot. however, i disagree with the Y-generation's attitude towards job indicated in the show. Maybe some of the people would have that, but not everyone. This is the reason why i think the TV shows are somehow biased. Maybe it is for their sponsors, or the government. Media industry is a form of business after all.

a research finds that an average person only use 2-3% of the brain. i am thinking, if a person works harder, thinks more or have a stronger mind. everyone has the potential to succeed and have a better quality of living. all the motivation/wisdom quotes tell people to be strong, but never tells you how. i hope i would be able to find my way to be strong, so as everyone else.

富人 窮人

都說人是有貪性的，得一想二。一個人如果曾經得到過，擁有過最好的，失去時只會更難接受。好聽的是曾經擁有過，無遺憾。但對當時人來講，可能從未擁有會更好些。有多少個曾經高薪厚碌的人，能再次承受低層的工作。並不是他們沒有做過，只是因為曾經到過高處，很難再甘心從新開始。
但是，如果你能熬過來，甘心從新開始，就能得到更大的成功。拥有的越多，就越要竭尽全力去维持那种地位和成功。你只有跨越那样的生活，才能找到真正的快乐。

back to school

i am back to this place again.
two more weeks to go, hopefully it would go well.

supposelly, it should be the busiest and toughest time of the year. however, i don't feel stress at all. maybe it is because of the weather or maybe because it is almost to the end. usually, we are more motivated when things just started.


i m actually at work now, but i am typing blog. there is a reason that i don't like to be an admin. because it is repetitive and boring. not much critical thinking is needed. i know some people don't mind. i am sure a good admin has to be skilled as well, but i don't belong to this field.

i used to be satisfied easily. i was happy with what i got and what i do. since when, i became so greedy?

微笑

微笑，是一個很簡單的面部表情，但卻具有巨大的魔力。
很多時候，一個微笑就改變人的一生。就可能是因為這個微笑，令本想傷害你的人覺得不認而改變初衷。可能是因為這個微笑，令本對生命絕望的人感到溫暖。也可能是因為這個微笑，令你遇到伯樂，令那一位注意到你。

微笑，看起來很簡單。你和我可能每天都會做，但問問自己有多少個微笑是發自真心的。
有時覺得，哪怕那笑容並不是真心的，但如果這個笑容能夠給人帶來美好的一天又有何不可呢？當然，如果人每天都能發自真心的微笑是最幸福的。即使受到傷害或委曲，都以微笑回報對方，以得報怨，這世界應該會美好一點。明知道是自欺欺人，現實並非如此。但有時開心的活在理想泡末里，也不太壞吧，最起碼能笑得出來。

Blogging for whom

i just read a blog that i follow along.
overall, i think she is a good. i do not have a definition of a good writer because i don't think i am qualified to judge someone. i am not good at writing, neither english or chinese. a person like me, in the middle of two cultures, two complete different languages. i couldn't ace both, this is my weakness.

back to this blog writer's post, i am not really commenting her, just wanna express some of my thoughts.
this is what happened...
- the blog writer wrote a post about one of her friend.
- an anonymous left a comment, claim that the writer didn't protect the friend's privacy.
- the blog writer wrote a new post to clarify that she didn't expose her friend's privacy for publicity.

what i think is that...
i somehow agree with her. if a blog is popular, of course the blog writer is happy.
however, just like the advertising said, blogger - express yourself online. at least that was my initial purpose. just like i said in the intro post, i never expect anyone to read my blog, but i guess this is one of my memories.
if others don't know, they shouldn't comment or judge randomly. sometimes, words help people, also hurt people.

本想打中文的，但我打中文的速度實在是太慢了。
有句話說的好，幸福的生活是沉悶的，人只對他人的不幸感興趣。即使對事情不知頭不知尾也願意評論一番。但也許只有這樣，人群中才有話題吧。

你是人才还是人力

看了一篇文章你是人才还是人力 ，剛好應證了我最近所想的。

在工作地方，能賣力，懂負責，當然是必要的。但如果我們所賣的單單只是勞力，就不值錢了。之所以要多讀書，是因為想憑智慧去掙錢。懂得勤勞當然是好，但也要懂得用得其法。就好像小時想解開一個死結一樣，一味用死力拉並不能解開，只用動腦想法才能解開。工作時，不僅要讓老板覺的你有勞力，還得展現你有腦力。

用腦當然是累，但還是做人才比較有前途。

Easter Sunday

Today is Easter Sunday.
I guess it is a holiday for most of the people. It would be meaningful for the religious ones as well. However, it is not anything special to me. I am not christian or anything. Today is just like another regular to me. Ever since then, I never think any date is special anymore. Holidays, anniversaries, birthdays... they are all like a regular working to me. I think, holidays or any special dates are just an excuse for people to take a break. Maybe they are the dates you can rest together. Actually, you can rest on any dates you wish, as long as it fits your schedule. I don't like time to control me, instead I would like to control time, at least my time.

Easter... Jesus reborn...
is that true? is there really a god exist?
if god is exist, is miracle exist?
a friend is taking philosophy of religion, the god's exist is never been proved scientifically. i guess philosophy is just arguing something that never have an answer. just like... life.
maybe there is fate, maybe everything is arranged, maybe there is something call.."it never meant to be"

sometimes, i don't like all these religious holidays. because i am still questioning them. plus, i still have to work anyways. >0<

美國看瀑布

在加國東部這麼多年了，大瀑布對我來說並不是什麼稀奇事。夏天去畫畫寫生，冬天去照相取景己無數次了。但今天是第一次，從美國看瀑布。也不是沒有去過美國，但今天是真正一家人去了瀑布的另一邊。呵，听起來一點都不稀奇，但爹地的移民監是終于坐完了，真是辛苦了。感覺上美國和加國並沒有大不同，但為啥美國聽起來就是比加國稀罕些呢？是美國的戶籍更難拿還是人家真的比我們強大多多。坦白說，中國的戶籍更難拿，但怎麼大家都情願放棄。看來，人還是要自強，要不然只會讓人看不起。

last day of class

Yesterday was the last day of class for school year 2008-2009. My third year of undergraduate is almost over, not officially because I still have exams. I didn’t go to class or work, I was sick. However, the biggest accomplishment of the day was finishing the accounting assignment and handed it. My group went to greentea for dinner after, with a member missing.
Time pass by really fast, the to do list is gone by weekly and now is all done. it doesn’t matter if it is meaningful or not, it doesn’t matter if it is cheerful or not. time doesn’t care, no one cares. you still do what you have to do.

life is like an hourglass

i believe life has ups and downs.
i don't think there will be a person would turn it around for me, but i wish i could turn it around for someone.

i was reading the blog "Lady's first" earlier today. the article 寧靚莫叻 gives me some thoughts. if the author is saying the truth, all i can say is that men are skin-deep. i think we all agree that fact that, pretty can only last couple years, everyone will get old and ugly at the end. if man picks beauty over wisdom, does it mean he needs to change his girl all along his life time? Also, it is about the personality, and if they match each other. so the smart girls do not deserve love then? if the man picks a pretty girl over smart one, he is the one does not deserve love.

i asked people for opinions today. they say, never go for the 10s girl. (10s = 10/10) i understand a perfect girl needs a perfect man to match. they also say if it is for relationship, matching personality is the most important. some man has the self pride, they do not want their girl smarter than them. they want to protect their girl.

maybe the matching one will come eventually. maybe it is all arranged. maybe the turn around one will appear ultimately. maybe the story is true... a couple was actually an individual. the god took away one of the bones, and it became another individual. we are born to find the missing bone, so we can be completed again.

end of the world

i don't know if there is end of the world. but i know there is end of life. i like this quote.."learn as you would live forever, live like it is the last day of live." if i am going to die tomorrow, what would you do today? what is the last thing you would do?

out of all the random movies, i picked a religious one. 2012 Doomsday...

the movie was saying that if you have faith, insist to the end and there will be a miracle. maybe everything is arranged, everything happens for a reason. there is a reason for you to be there, to do what you do. as long as you do your job, you can make a difference.

the movie knowing...

it is almost talking about the same thing. it is pure randomness or determined. if it is determined, if you are the chosen one. there is nothing else you can do but to accept it. if it is pure randomness, you can control it either. all you can do it live your own life, try your best.

an individual only have that little power. if life is so short, and life is all about suffering. what is the point of life? heh. maybe there is no point.

禍源

“剛剛過去倫敦舉行的G20高峰會遇到大規模示威抗議，群眾指控銀行為金融風暴的禍源，部分人衝入蘇格蘭皇家銀行，大肆破壞。多達四千人一度聚集英倫銀行一帶，並將門前問吊一個象徵「銀行家」的假人洩憤。”

雖然明白群眾的不滿，尤其是在今日的時勢。但有事發生的時候，我們是否應該自我檢討，刻服困難，而不是把寶貴時間花在指控別人與洩憤上。當市場興旺的時候，人人都想分一杯羹，個個都去找投資顧問。有固定收入的時候，沒有去好好理財。現在市場垮了，就將責任推在別人身上。當然，銀行和投資公司的確有責任，他們沒有好好的處理貸款，形成次按風暴。但現在最主要的任務是解決問題，在錯誤中學習。試問示威抗議的人們，當中有沒有人曾是形成次按風暴的一分子？找禍源是為了解決問題，而不是去找人為事情負責，且懲罰。

我的確是在溫室中長大的。曾經，我也是遇到問題會逃避的一分子。但跌到了，就要爬起來。如果問題不得到解決，一味逃避，問題永遠都在。我們不會學會解決，那傷疤也不會復原。

議員講粗口

香港的議員在會議上講粗口，這是個很熱的話題，所以我也來說兩句。

首先，粗口並沒有一個很確切的定義。個人認為，只要是用來罵人的粗俗語言，已是粗口了。任何一個文明人都不應該講粗口的，公眾人物更是。政治人物代表一個政府，香港作為一個國際城市更是。我是不講粗口的，雖然不喜歡，但也明白身邊的朋友會用言語來發泄。每個人應知道自己的位置，在適合的場合說適合的話。做錯了，就該認錯。錯了，還變本加厲，強言奪理。這就是所謂為香港人謀福利的代表，真讓人失望。

看到這麼多問題，不知我還有無信心回香港工作。

在此於日進步的文明社會裡，希望市民也會變得更加文明。
