"If you don't know how to die, you don't know how to live."


"If you don't know how to die, you don't know how to live."

最近,我发现,活的最精彩的人,往往是最懂得面对死亡的人:

因为在这个时刻,你才会活在当下-那就是:

"珍惜应该珍惜的,感谢应该感谢的,把握应该把握的,发现应该发现的."

Steve Jobs-

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

朋友的金句:

成功,就是將簡單和正確的事不斷重複去做。

上不了好大学我们怪家庭教育不当;找不到工作,我们怪大学不够务
实;上班迟到了我们怪公交系统;谈恋爱失败了我们怪对方自私……责备他人是很简单的 事,人人都会。但从现在开始,要成为一个快乐的成功的人,自己为自己负起责任来:你是唯一的责任人,你的人生,你的幸福,是你自己的责任.

It strike me to think what we can do at the last moment of life - that is nothing is more meaningful than organ donation to help out others to extend their lives if we can.

A man of value - helping others get what they want

The Speaking course coach sends this to us:
Try not to become a man of success but a man of value. -Albert Einstein



It is said that the secret to success is in helping others succeed. The more you help people get what they want, the more you get what you want in return.

Often times I don’t think we realize our value. The difference that we make in peoples lives every day by the small acts of kindness and thoughtfulness that we show.

Can you think back to a time when someone made a big impact on your life by doing something “small?” Perhaps it was a coach, teacher or random stranger who said or did something that made a profound impact on you…in some way it changed your course, gave you a new- found confidence or belief in what was possible.  I can think of quite a few instances in my life where that happened and I am so eternally grateful for those people.

You do not have to be on a mission to change the world to be a leader and make a difference in other people’s lives. It is often times the small acts of kindness that you don’t even think about or consider to be “special” that make the biggest impact in someone’s life. You do not need to be Oprah or Tony Robbins to make a difference. You just need to step into the greatest you. When you are a person of value…becoming a “success” is a no-brainer.

Shine ON!!

TRYING v.s Result

B,

困難不在自己,在別人;障礙不在別人,在自己。最怕的是自己障礙自己。


Self reflection is the process to kill weeds in our mental garden.


"You cannot take the mild approach to the weeds in your mental garden. You have got to hate weeds enough to kill them. Weeds are not something you handle; weeds are something you devastate." -- Jim Rohn


To love yourself means to love people. Read the article and it shows this truth. An article that I shed tears for it touches my heart every time i read.


In the hottest reality show about ladies over 30 who have not yet married, I found most people are not confident inside out. They don't know how to love themselves - ultimately.  Most coaches /advisers are in backward way to change the girls. That doesn't work. In UK, similar shows calls " Take ME Out"  encourage the ladies to appreciate themselves and accept themselves so that they will confidence inside and attraction/charisma  outside.


I found maybe you are too care about the results of things rather about the processes.  When your mind is filled imaginary bad results, you cannot resourcefully think for the process - how to make it better. . So your subconscious mind already shut down to try.

Stay in the level 1 not 7, every time you hit the goal, you have confidence to move harder one and step by step to 7 to hit the target. GAEM IS LIFE. LIFE IS GAME. What you do something is everything as habit builds result. Very predictable.

Have you found Father's most common words was " I am Not HAPPY" for no reason  And the unhappiness was like a ghost haunting him. Now he is changing by TAI JI and friends around and me and the SUN.

Happiness is a mindset not result. It is a  state every minute existing in our mind if we focus on process and focus on what we should do better.

Ironically, the more you look at the goal, money, happiness, scores.., the farther they are away you. The more you focus on helping, kindness, forgiving and self-responsibility and self-assurance, the more happiness, wealth chasing you.

Opportunities are everywhere. Don't care about the results but the processes, if you don't try, you have zero chance; if you try, you have chance to prepare and learn and improve, that is enough, but results are usually very positive. Failures are the best asset if you know how to use it, otherwise, it is your debt. The more failures and earlier you start to experience it, they more happy results and earlier to come to you.

The sound record is my reflection about the talks from Dr Lin and others in the Easter. In their world, everything is positive and their behavior is driven by this belief and the results are predictable.

Success V.s. Growing Up

每个人都想成功,但成功不等於快乐的成长。
成长是过程,成功是结论;
成长是找到自我的价值,成功是社会的評價。
成长的过程是找到我是谁,终生学习,不断反省,自我的提升,建立一个自信自重自爱,成为负责任,謙卑的人。

Smiling to the world

I found all babies smile to me in the lifts at my area when I say Hi to them.

When you smile to babies, they smile back to you. .People when getting older; forget how to smile and even no hello. But if I smile first to them, they give me a happy response. That is the world.

Let's the world filling with smiling faces.

Time - a matter of choice

B,



Meaning of time - a matter of choice



What is time? Time is emotional status at which you choose to do something in that period. In Tai Ji class, I met a senior mate who works at night as an owner of restaurant, a mother and wife, taking care of the family and the only time to sleep is several hours day time. But she learns Tai Ji every morning AFTER WORK to five clock.


I asked her how she can manage her time and lives so fully in her life? She said, Tai Ji helps her to relax and sleep well.

So time is only a matter of choice. If you think it is important to your life,  you will find time and enjoy doing it and otherwise, you will find excuse.


有心人找到方法,无心人找到借口. 的确如此!
