An Inspiring Short Story of Fox



A fox found a nest of chickens and the fox was too fat to drill in, so he was hungry for three days and finally entered.

After a full meal, he couldn't get out because he’s too fat, so he had to be hungry again for three days to get out. Finally he lamented that he made himself busy due to being addicted in the process of munching.

Comprehension:

Isn't life like this?

When the stripe comes, the stripe goes, we come to the world naked and will leave world naked as well. No one can take away the wealth and merits of a lifetime of business.

It is difficult to buy back youth with the money made by youth;

It is difficult to buy back the life with the money earned by life;

It is difficult to buy back time with the money earned with time;

Even if you use your life to get the money of the world, you can't buy your life with the money of the world

Therefore, it is important to learn to rest and be happy.

Beginner's mind - Life is a Gritty Marathon


Merry Christmas!



Very inspiring 10 Ted Talks to recommend which might worth more than a MBA:

Process>Outcome
Smartness is a talent and Kindness is a choice. I feel that Kindness is more precious to find in Today's Society.

They are all very insightful speeches. My favorites:
3. Angela Lee Duckworth: The Key to Success? Grit.
4. Srikumar Rao: Plug into your Hardwired Happiness.
6. Ramsey Musallam: 3 Rules to Spark Learning
1. Carol Deweck: The Power of Believing that you Can Improve

Stay Positive!!

 

 


Be happy, stay positive!!

You can do it!! Say a positive thing twenty times to yourself when you are feeling down. Your subconscious mind will sense it and brighten your mood!

Set short and simple goals and achieve them, then you'll feel happier about yourself.

If you try to achieve a big and challenging goal but you are not running while everyone else is running to achieve it, you'll feel frustrated. If so, there are two options: either you set a lower expectation that you can walk to meet it, or you keep a high expectation but make sure you run and be aggressive enough to satisfy it.

模特儿 Modeling






(2011) I recently discovered the top ten most profitable supermodels in the world that three of them from Brazil, and the Brazilian girls are really charming. It is a pity that no Asian girl or African girl can be ranked in the top ten yet. I heard that there are Liu Wen, Lv Yan, etc. from China. They are tall, not to mention, and their unique oriental faces. They should be able to compete with European faces. I hoped that one day, the world can get rid of the aesthetics defined by the West and have proud standards of independence. 

(2020) But and then since the D&G Asian model using chopsticks to eat pizza incident, many Chinese people got mad about the joke. Zara model who has unique beauty appreciated by the top designer, had faced brutal criticism by her own people. Why would Chinese people embrace western appearance (big eyes, straight nose) more than their own beauty? As a Oriental girl who’s born in HK, I appreciate my own face because firstly it’s a gift from my parents, and secondly a Chinese model should look Chinese! What’s wrong and shameful with that? We should be proud of our outlooks. The true power lies with accepting differences in a harmonious way. 

最近發現十大全球最賺錢名模,其中三位係來自巴西,巴西女仔果然魅力十足。可惜嘅係,冇一位亞洲女仔或者非洲女仔可以躋身於十大。聽講中國出品嘅有杜鵑、劉雯、呂燕等,佢哋身材好高唔喺話下,仲有佢哋獨特嘅東方臉孔,應該可以同西方臉一較高下啦。我希望終有一日,世人可以擺脫西方界定嘅審美觀,而有引以自豪嘅獨立標準。 (2011記)

但係自從 D & G 亞洲人用筷子食披薩嘅事件發生之後,好多中國人對呢個笑話感到生氣。擁有頂級設計師獨特美感嘅 Zara 模特兒,曾經受到本國人民嘅殘酷批評。點解中國人比西方人更鍾意西方嘅外觀(大眼睛,鼻挺直)?作為喺香港出世嘅東方女仔,我好欣賞自己嘅臉,因為首先呢個係我父母送畀我嘅禮物,其次,中國模特兒應該睇落好似中國人!呢個係咩錯同可恥嘅?我哋應該為我哋嘅容貌感到自豪。真正嘅力量在於以和諧嘅方式接受差異。 (2020記)

女人三养 Three Cultivation for Ladies


世上没有丑女人,只有懒女人。
所以,女人要注重三养:保养,修养,涵养。
保养是皮肤和外形上的保养。
修养是仪态和礼貌上的培养。
而涵养就是知识和道德上的修为。
加油呀!女人们*

There are no ugly women in the world, only lazy women. Therefore, women should pay attention to three cultivations: maintenance, self-cultivation and elegance. Maintenance is the maintenance of skin and appearance. Self-cultivation is the cultivation of manners and politeness. Elegance is the cultivation of knowledge and morality. Keep it up! Ladies*

True friendships


 


 

A message to share about friendship

Real vs. ordinary
An ordinary friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders for you to rely on.

An ordinary friend does not know your parents' last name. A real friend has their phone numbers in the address book.

An ordinary friend will bring a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend will come to help you prepare early and leave later to help you clean.

An ordinary friend hates you calling after he has fallen asleep. A real friend will appreciate you call no matter what moment.

An ordinary friend asks you to talk about your troubles. A true friend is looking for you to solve your problems.

An ordinary friend is curious about your romance. A true friend can threaten you to share your stories.

An ordinary friend visits like a guest. A real friend will open the refrigerator to take things by himself/herself.

An ordinary friend thinks that friendship is over after an argument. A true friend understands that when you haven't fought, it is not true friendship.

An ordinary friend expects you to stay with him/her forever. A true friend expects him/her to be by your side forever!

執著 Loss and Gain


 


 

人為何執著呢?因為我們對某些事情認真,投放了大量的心血,最後若結果不如理想,就會失望。 我們會執著於不同之事,如成績、感情、事業、金錢,甚至自我形象。當我們在只著眼於自己失去了什麼,抱怨自己有多不幸時,為何不慶幸自己得到了多少呢?我們仍活著,還有寶貴的時間、親友無私的關懷、以及上天的眷顧。

「失去」只是襯托「得到」。:)

Why are people persistent and stubborn? Because we are serious about certain things, we put in meaningful efforts during the process, and in the end, if the results are not as good as expected, we will be disappointed. We will cling our emotions to different things, such as grades, feelings, career, money, and even self-image. When we only focus on what we have lost and repeat how unfortunate we are, why not be thankful how much we have gained? We are still alive, with precious time, unselfish care from relatives and friends, and humanity wisdom.
"Loss" is only to "gain". :)

幸福 Happiness



“幸福不是你房子有多大 ,而是房子里的笑声有多甜.
幸福不是你开多豪华的车 ,而是你开着车平安到家.
幸福不是你的爱人有多漂亮 , 而是爱人的笑容有多灿烂.”

小时侯,幸福是一件东西,拥有就幸福;长大后,幸福是一个目标,达到就幸福;成熟后,发现幸福原来是一种心态,领悟就幸福。                       ---from 时尚小资馆。

幸福,没有捷径, 只有经营                       ----范范的“最重要的决定”。

就我来说,小时候有父母,老师,大人们的赞美,就觉得乐翻天;
长大后,为了追求美好的生活条件而努力,似乎是达到的话就会满足,
但是发现原来智慧就已经为我带来了心灵上的幸福, 因为心中有人性的爱。 
前两个阶段只是局限于被爱,我猜到年纪大了,可以有更大的能力去爱人和帮人, 该会得到更大的喜乐吧! 

"Happiness is not how big your house is, but how sweet the laughter in the house is. Happiness is not about how luxurious the car you drive, but that you drive home safely.
Happiness is not how beautiful your lover is, but how bright your lover's smile is. "

When I was young, happiness is a thing, and happiness comes from having it; when I grow up, happiness is a goal, and happiness is achieved; after maturity, I find that happiness turns out to be a state of mind, and understanding leads to happiness. --- from Fashion Petty Museum.

Happiness, no shortcuts, only building and managing -Fan Fan's "most important decision".


As far as I am concerned, when I was a child, I felt happy when there were parents, teachers, and adults who complimented me. When I grow up, I worked hard to pursue a better living condition. It seemed to be achieved, I was satisfied. But I discovered that wisdom has brought me happiness in my heart, because there is the love of the humanity in my heart. The first two stages are limited to being loved. I guess when you are older, you can have a greater ability to love and help others. You will get more joy!

From a friend : good life philosophy




1. Mistakes are temporary regrets, and missing the opportunities are forever regrets! Don't be afraid of mistakes and miss the chances.

2. Rather forgiving others yourself, than letting others forgive you.

3. The world doesn't belong to you originally, so you don't need to abandon it. What you want to abandon is all stubbornness. All is what for me to use, but not for me to own.

4. You have your view of life, I have my view of life, and I do not interfere with you. If I was able to influence your view, then I would reform you. If not, then I would resign to fate.

5. If you are going to get married, tell you a very important philosophical saying: "You must be patient with each other's shortcomings. There is no absolute happiness and perfect marriage in the world. Happiness only comes from unlimited tolerance and mutual respect.

6. My wealth is not that I have a lot, but that I ask for very little.

7. It's not that someone annoys me, but that I annoy myself with someone's words and deeds.

8. Living in the applause of others are people who can't stand the test.

9. If you can shout "I don't need to worry about this little thing" 21 times a day, you will find that there is an incredible power in your heart. Try it, it works.

10. If you can let go of everything, you’ll be a free human in the world.

11. Thank God for what I have, thank God for what I don't have.

12. Coming is accidental, and going is inevitable. So you have to let it be if things stay still and stay still to let it be.

13. A stupid person always wants others to understand him/her. Wise people try hard to understand themselves.

14. To tell a lie, you have to make up ten lies to cover up, why bother?

15. You don't have to look back to see who is cursing you? If a mad dog bites you, do you have to lie down and bite it?

16. Arrogant people could be saved, inferior people could not be saved.

17. Whenever you let go, whenever you’ll have no trouble and worry.

18. The reason why people suffer is due to pursuing the wrong things.

19. It is better to say that your own self-cultivation is not strong enough than saying that the others to make you suffer.

20. Fate is responsible for shuffling the cards, but it is our own choices to play the cards!

21. If you live one more day, you are blessed and you should cherish it. When I cried and complained that I have no shoes to wear, I found that someone in the world has no feet.

An encouraging and meaningful message to all ladies =)



An encouraging and meaningful message to all ladies=):

1. No matter how good this man in front of you is, if he doesn’t love you, this is his biggest shortcoming which you can never change.

2. Do not cry when breaking up. Of course, it's not that you don't cry at all. In front of him, don't cry, but back in the ground, you could cry as much as you want.

3. The biggest shortcoming of a person is not selfishness, brutality, and willfulness, but stubbornness for loving a person who does not love you.

4. No matter how bad your conditions are, there will always be someone who loves you. No matter how good your conditions are, there are always people who do not love you.

5. The only way to seize a man should be, never let him be satisfied.

6. No matter how pretty you dress, no matter how expensive you wear, that's just a guise. A coat made with kindness is the true beauty.

7. If we blame love for hurting us, then may I ask, did you nod at the beginning to accept that love to come?

8. Grievances that can be spoken are not grievances. Those “lovers” who leave you are not considered your true love.

9. It is a kind of happiness to be able to hold a touch of sadness that cannot be taken away by time.

10. Human is always a lonely creature with ego. No matter how you sincerely speak your love, there will always be a moment that your heart cannot be understood.

11. Be neither modest nor arrogant, face everything with calmness and elegance.

12. A person, if he is not free, it is because he does not want to be free; a person, if he cannot walk away, it is because he does not want to walk away;
a person, if he has too many excuses for you, it is because he does not want to care.

13. Sometimes, things are subjective that cannot be explained. If you think it's worth it, then it's worth it; if you don't think it's worth it, even others say the opposite, you still feel it’s not worth it.

14. To understand the truth, men easily like a person, but will not easily fall in love with a person.

15. Woman, when in love, is like being isolated from the world.

16. On calm days, leave and cherish some space for yourself, some space for your partner, and some beauty for distance.

17. Sometimes don't worry too much. Men are a little bit clunky. Forgetting one thing doesn't mean he doesn't love you, don't scare yourself.

18. Women often like to confess their hearts, while men do the opposite.

19. Sometimes, learn to treat disappointment as a gain, because disappointment could be the byproduct of expectation.

20. Don't deliberately try to change whoever, because no one can change whoever, only if, he (whoever) is willing to change for you.

21. By time, you can understand love, you can prove love, you can also overturn love.

22. Freedom is precious, but tens of thousands of people are using freedom in exchange for love every day.

23. You can have vanity, because that is the nature of women, but don't let yourself become a tool for adding vanity to others.

24. Don't say that there is no good man in this world, don't remember and hate the person who abandoned you, after all, he had loved you. Forgiveness will make you more beautiful.
25. Don't be curious and don't care what his current girlfriend looks like. How is her figure? You're just making trouble for yourself like this.

26. Whatever you said must be done, even if it is stupid, it is better than words without credibility.

27. Don't make a decision when you’re angry and crying, you will regret it.

28. He said, “I am tired, let me calm down and take a break for a while, okay?” You say yes, because he came to inform you, not to get your consent.

29. You are pure then so be it, if you pretend to be pure, it is uglier than ugly, understand?

30. Not all efforts will succeed, but without effort, you will not succeed.

31. Girls must love themselves. No matter how much blow you encounter, no matter how bad the situation you face, don’t deprave yourself. The more you don't love yourself, the more nobody loves you.

32. Beauty, wisdom, money, and many other things are doomed by nature. Don’t try to change using your jealousy.

33. Be careful! Jealousy, hatred, and revenge are just tricks. It doesn't matter if you want to play these tricks, it's about not being discovered.

34. Set your mind, don't be sad when you lose things, you should be thinking like this, he does not belong to you.

35. Try to be an elegant woman, don't be pretentious, because pretentious women are not only hated by women, but also by men.

36. Independence, forever. No matter, emotionally or financially.

37. Um ... On what occasions do you not believe in a man? In bed, when he is happy, when he asks for you to do him a favour, and when he makes mistakes.

38. Don't try your best to show off to many people that you have many boyfriends or male friends. Because others will not envy you, they will just despise you.

39. Don't ask all day, do you love me? By the time when you ask, he doesn't love you anymore.

40. Under 20 years old, if you believe in idol drama, so be it. Over 20 years old, you still believe in idol drama, then it's over.

41. To know whether a man is good or bad, it’s not depending on his monogamy or not. Since ancient times, men have many dedications (I.e. Flower heart in Chinese), it’s depending on whether a man has self control or not.

42. Brave women are always more beautiful than coward women. If, your lover does not love you, I advise you to be brave and separate, better than cowardly entangled.

43. A woman who is good at compromise is precious. However, women who are only good at compromising are cheap.

44. Don’t be an overwhelming female; be a wise and strong woman.
