也许有不少人可以如zambie,不需要爱就可以存活。他们可以如岩石,生命不需要氧气。我不能够,没有爱,毋宁死。
今晚是bloody moon,要躺在这样的吊床上做梦。
把我的大辫子挂在树上
躺在你为我做的蕉皮里
今晚月圆,做一个
白白胖胖的蕉娇
你轻摇我的吊床

昨晚读童话,今早读一段禅故事。茶杯死了一休宗纯禅师是日本室町时代临济宗著名的僧人。他幼年时期就展现出异于常人的聪明与机智。一天,一休沙弥不小心将师父心爱的茶杯打碎了,那是一件稀世珍宝。一休自知闯祸,心想:“完了!这下子一定得挨师父的骂,甚至是一顿打了。”他边想边收拾地上的碎片,把它们藏了起来。没过多久,师父循声走向一休,问道:“刚才我听到一阵声响,有什么东西打坏了吗?”一休沙弥故作茫然不知,向前一步,天真地问:“师父,弟子正有一个问题想请示您。”师父说:“有什么事?赶快道来。”一休沙弥说:“人生在世,活得很好,为什么一定要死呢?”师父摸摸他的头:“傻孩子,这是当然,因为有生就有死啊!你看,气候有春夏秋冬,物品有成住坏空,人生也有生老病死,坏了、死了,这是万物正常的道理啊!”一休沙弥听后满面欢喜:“师父,现在要告诉您一个坏消息,您心爱的茶杯死了。”说着,把打破的茶杯碎片捧到师父面前。 - RE: random thoughts 仙岛札记posted on 05/11/2014

how to start a new day....
Talent is God-Given.. Be Grateful.
Fame is Man-Given.. Be Humble.
Conceit is Self-Given.. Be Careful.
- John Wooden
The day may have 24 hours of equivalent length but every hour is not created equal. Beginning the day with a purpose and a plan increases your chances of success.
In her book What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast, Laura Vanderkam writes, “Seizing your mornings is the equivalent of that sound financial advice to pay yourself first. If you wait until the end of the month to save what you have left, there will be nothing left over. Likewise, if you wait until the end of the day to do meaningful but not urgent things like exercise, pray, read, ponder how to advance your career or grow your organization, or truly give your family your best, it probably won’t happen.”
Here are 11 smart ways to start your day. I would suggest that the most successful people do the majority of these things during the first couple hours of their morning as part of their daily routine.
- Get an early start. This extra time will help you avoid speeding tickets, tardiness and other unnecessary headaches. In addition, most markets and businesses open by 9 A.M. Whether you work from home or commute to an office, the more time you’ve had to digest the day’s news and obstacles ahead, the greater advantage you’ll have over your competition.
- Review your Focus list. What is your number one goal right now? What’s most important to you? What makes you happy? Design your time around these things. Remember, time is your greatest limited resource, because no matter how hard you try you can’t work 25/8.
- Review your TO-DON’T list. A ‘TO-DON’T list’ is a list of things not to do. It might seem amusing, but it’s an incredibly useful tool for keepingtrack of unproductive habits, like checking Facebook and Twitter, randomly browsing news websites, etc. Create one and post it up in your workspace where you can see it.
- Exercise. Other than the obvious health benefits, movement increases brain function and decreases stress levels. Developing a consistent habit of exercising is a discipline which will carry over into your business day – Apple CEO, Tim Cook, is in the gym by 5 A.M. every morning. If you can, go outside for a walk, or jump on the treadmill and start out slow. This will jump-start your metabolism and your day.
- Eat a healthy breakfast. Your brain and body speed are a function of what you intake. Bagels, muffins and sugars have the tendency to slow you down. Fruits, proteins and grains help provide a consistent stream of energy without the sudden drop-off. Try a mixture of orange, apple and lemon juice with a spinach omelet one morning and let me know how much better you feel.
- Kiss your partner goodbye. It sounds cheesy, but most truly successful people have a great home life. Acknowledging your partner (and kids) mentally relaxes you, allowing you to focus on the day ahead. Don’t lose sight of the fact that you’re striving to be successful so they may benefit as well.
- Practice 15 minutes of positive visualization. In his program Get the Edge, Tony Robbins explains the importance of gratitude visualization first thing every morning. In a nutshell, spend roughly 15 minutes thinking of everything you’re grateful for: in yourself, among your family and friends, in your career, and the like. After that, visualize everything you want in your life as if you had it today. The effect? Elevated certainty in everything you do, and always being in peak state. Despite how ‘new age’ it sounds, it’s had incredible effects on associating success into my every-day life.
- Put first things first. Successful people recognize that not all hours are created equal, and they strategically account for this when planning their day. For most of us, our minds operate at peak performance in the morning hours when we’re well rested. So obviously it would be foolish to use this time for a trivial task like reading emails. These peak performance hours should be 100% dedicated to working on the tasks that bring you closer to your goals.
- Eat that frog. Brian Tracy’s classic time-management book Eat That Frog gets its title from a Mark Twain quote that says, if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, you’ve got it behind you for the rest of the day, and nothing else will be more difficult. In others words, get the tough stuff done first.
- Connect with the right people. Relationships are the basis of business – communication is the basis of relationships. Successful people associate with people who are likeminded, focused, and supportive. These people create energy when they enter the room, versus those who create energy when they leave. Connecting with these positive people in the morning can set you up for a positive day.
- Stay informed. Whether you prefer National Public Radio or the Wall Street Journal, spend a few minutes each morning learning about what is going on in the world. Not only will it educate you, it may change your perspective or inspire your actions for the day.

Divination is not foolishness. It’s just encoded intuitions about life. You get from divination the wisdom you bring to it. It is not a pointless exercise because the gnosis is there. When the student is ready the master appears.When you have the ears to hear and the eyes to see then divination works. When you can receive you will receive. When your cup is full then no wisdom can be added. To say only this idea is true, to declare at this moment I know the only truth about this moment, that is why new insight is not reached. Often is why we repeat mistakes. We say this is fixed. It isn’t the event, events never are fixed. When we say “this is the way it is”, what we are declaring is the way we are and nothing truly about the event. Is why Job in the Bible declared, “For alas, that which I have greatly feared has come to pass.” It was his thinking of his view that made it so. He did not defer to the “logos” which is often mistakenly translated as ‘word’ but also means ‘logic‘. The greater way. That he was unable to avoid his fear, he manifested what he didn’t desire.People routinely become frustrated with positive thinking. Expecting it to have more power because it’s supposedly a more wholesome or holy principle. But in general they discover that they just fall back into their conditioned thinking. Consider the Taoist symbol of balance, the yin and the yang. People seek liberation, thinking that is purging themselves of darkness. That never works. To “think positively” you must think clearly and if you would avoid the manifestation of dark thoughts you cannot avoid it by trying to not think them. Darkness must be seen and seen in the context of the greater light, not purged but brought into balanced insight.At times it’s misidentified. Often times we declare a feeling or thought dark in the sense of being unworthy when in fact it’s the right action. But we hesitate and then become lost due to a fear of the dark. How can we know this is darkness versus right action? When you see the darkness within you. Don’t see it only when immersed in it. That is the error. Some people reject it until it overtakes them. See your anger when calm. See your fear when at peace. When you see the darkness in you when you are “in the light” you see the whole picture and when it returns to you, as it inevitably does, you will know it and make decisions based on the deeper wisdom you obtained earlier.It is when you are strong that you should confront your weaknesses. And know that your strength was gained from what you might consider weakness. You don’t become patient because it’s just somehow holy to be patient. You become patient because life taught you patience. It was tested. To embrace all of your power shy away from nothing in yourself. Some might think I embrace a negativistic philosophy because of how I present myself, the truth runs strongly contrary to that prejudice. I merely embrace my inner demons knowing that they are part of the whole that is my being.Do I ‘bitch’ at people when I feel the need? Yes. I watch the thought first but I don’t “hold it in”. If in seeing the urge to bitch I see any wisdom in my disturbance, I speak freely. A Greek philosopher was once asked how he became so wise. He and the student were gathered at a well as was common in the day. He proceeded to grab the students head and quickly thrust it under the water and hold it there for a while. Then when he let him up, the student asked him aghast, “Why did you do that?” He said when you want wisdom like you wanted air then it comes naturally. When you are disturbed by an event, it often is a perfect opportunity for wisdom to emerge. - RE: random thoughts 仙岛札记posted on 06/23/2014
