Letter to Son after his first mid-term

25-10-2010
Gen,

I think the most important thing to you now is how to use leverage to help you study life progressively.

Firstly, to find any flaws and success in the first two months;

Secondly, to use all resources to leverage your improvement and manage your life better;

Third, to be open-minded to learn from people around you and to help them whenever you can. Remember, respect, friendship and love is earned not demanded. Expanding positive associations is one of the most essential learning in life.

Keeping reading novels and human stories is the quickest way to expand awareness; from which you find human strength, wisdom and resilience and also mistakes, lessons and blind spots; from which you instill in yourself a positive thinking, objective system to face in any circumstances.

Take care,

Mon

只要找到自己的天命，並能夠充份地發揮天賦，你在當下一刻便已經能夠去做你應該做的事情，不需要等待明天的來臨。

肯‧羅賓森(Ken Robinson)博士告訴我們以下四個關鍵問題，決定你是否活出自己：

· 天資 --- 甚麼是你真正的力量所在？

· 熱情 --- 那件事讓你永遠充滿活力？

· 態度 --- 你讓際遇左右生命，還是用態度創造運氣？

· 機會 --- 如何為你的熱情找到實踐的管道？

Silicon Valley’s successful experience: The success is not because they know how to succeed but how to fail. How to rise after fail.

Our great glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail.

" When your body changes, so does your mind."

I find that emotion and physical conditions go hand-in-hand. Negative emotion creeps back if our body is not in good shape.

生命在于运动

Jim Rohn's quotes on emotion management:

Our emotions need to be as educated as our intellect. It is important to know how to feel, how to respond, and how to let life in so that it can touch you.

Civilization is the intelligent management of human emotions.

Measure your emotions. You don’t need an atomic explosion for a minor point.
