Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

never, ever the same.

It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.

Couldn't put Humpty together again!

幼時認為什麼都不懂,

大學時自認為什麼都懂,

畢業後才知道什麼都不懂,

中年又以為什麼都懂,

到晚年纔覺悟一切都不懂。

【沒有解決不了的問題,只有不肯面對的人】

 

 

            學做人

 

不自見 故明  (不固執己見, 所以處事涇渭分明)

不自是 故彰 (不自以為是, 所以是非一清二楚)

不自伐 故有功 (不自我誇耀, 所以事業才有成功)

不自矜 故長 (不矜持自大, 所以才能成為首領)

夫唯不爭 故天下莫能與之爭

(正因為不與他人爭勝,所以天下沒有人可以與他相爭)

 

 

為天地立心

為生民立命

為往聖繼絕學

為萬世開太平

      佛說

 

隨時

隨性

隨遇

隨緣

隨喜

隨不是跟隨,是順其自然

不怨懟、不躁進、不過度、不強求

隨不是隨便,是把握機緣

不悲觀、不刻板、不慌亂、不忘形

 

 

天地有正氣,雜然賦流形。下則為河岳,上則為日星。

於人曰浩然,沛乎塞蒼冥。皇路當清夷,含和吐明庭。

時窮節乃見,一一垂丹青。在齊太史簡,在晉董狐筆。

在秦張良椎,在漢蘇武節。為嚴將軍頭,為嵇侍中血。

為張睢陽齒,為顏常山舌。或為遼東帽,清操厲冰雪。

或為出師表,鬼神泣壯烈。或為渡江楫,慷慨吞胡羯。

或為擊賊笏,逆豎頭破裂。是氣所磅礡,凜烈萬古存。

當其貫日月,生死安足論。地維賴以立,天柱賴以尊。

三綱實系命,道義為之根。嗟予遘陽九,隸也實不力。

楚囚纓其冠,傳車送窮北。鼎鑊甘如飴,求之不可得。

陰房闐鬼火,春院閟天黑。牛驥同一皂,雞棲鳳凰食。

一朝蒙霧露,分作溝中瘠。如此再寒暑,百沴自闢易。

嗟哉沮洳場,為我安樂國。豈有他繆巧,陰陽不能賊。

顧此耿耿在,仰視浮雲白。悠悠我心悲,蒼天曷有極。

哲人日已遠,典刑在夙昔。風檐展書讀,古道照顏色。

                        文天祥《正氣歌》

 

 

         一個古老的傳說

 

「真實」和「謊言」一起到河邊洗澡

先上岸的「謊言」偷偷穿上「真實」的衣服不肯歸還

固執的「真實」死也不肯穿上「謊言」的衣服

只好一絲不掛光溜溜地走回家

從此 人們眼中只有穿著真實外衣的謊言

卻怎麼也無法接受赤裸裸的真實

 

 

子曰:三十而立,四十而不惑,五十而知天命,

      六十而耳順,七十而從心所欲。

 

 

沒錢的時候,養豬;

有錢的時候,養狗;

沒錢的時候,在家裡吃野菜;

有錢的時候,在酒店吃野菜;

沒錢的時候,在馬路上騎自行車;

有錢的時候,在客廳裡騎自行車;

沒錢的時候想結婚,有錢的時候想離婚;

沒錢的時候老婆兼秘書,有錢的時候秘書兼老婆;

沒錢的時候假裝有錢,有錢的時候假裝沒錢。

人啊,都不講實話:

說股票是毒品,都在玩;

說金錢是罪惡,都在撈;

說美女是禍水,都想要;

說高處不勝寒,都在爬;

說煙酒傷身體,就不戒;

說天堂最美好,都不去!

當今社會,窮吃肉,富吃蝦,領導幹部吃王八;

男想高,女想瘦,狗穿衣裳人露肉;

過去把第一次留給丈夫,現在把第一胎留給丈夫;

鄉下早晨雞叫人,城裡晚上人叫雞;

舊社會戲子賣藝不賣身,新社會演員賣身不賣藝。

In a world of individuals, comparison is a senseless activity.

The Marathon is a charismatic event. It has everything.

It has drama.  It has competition. It has camaraderie.

It has heroism.  Every jogger can't dream of being an

Olympic champion, but he can dream of finishing a marathon.

Frank Lebow

   A long distance running legend

 

 

Heaven is when you have:

    An American salary

    A British home

    A Latin lover

Hell is when you have:

恭維使人難堪             

梁秉中

 

 

愛是恆久忍耐,又有恩慈;愛是不嫉妒;愛是不自誇,不張狂,不做害羞的事,

不求自己的益處,不輕易發怒,不計算人的惡,不喜歡不義,只喜歡真理;

凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。愛是永不止息。

                                        哥林多前書,13:4-8,13

 

 

If your Prolog program terminates with bus error you can rightfully

"complain to the vendor."  If your C program does the same you only

have yourself to blame.                               Lee Naish

 

 

Thought for the day ...

 

  An organisation is like a tree full of monkeys, all on different branches

  at different levels, some climbing up.  The monkeys on top look down and

  see a tree full of smiling faces.  The monkeys on the bottom look up and

  see nothing but arseholes.

我並非主張不求上進,只是主張對人對己都要有「同情的了解」,了

解美德的實現每每不是說那麼容易的,要有心理準備,常有進一步

或甚至進一步又退回原地的情況出現。 就算只能進一步又打回原

形,那仍然勝於從來沒有進過一步。 我是一個「寬於責人也寬於

責己」的人, 有時做得合乎理想,我認為已是很理想的了 對人性

越有深刻的了解,就不會對人對己要求過高。 比方說,人並不是

一種時刻不停發光的生物;能夠有時發出一點「人性的光輝」,就

已經很不錯的了。 以上的想法我稱之為「寬鬆原則」,或戲稱之為

「有時發光主義」。

 

這種「主義」反對過份鞭策別人,也反對過份鞭策自己。 鞭策過

份,會造成太大壓力,以至精神緊張,心理不平衡。 倘若不容許

有一刻鬆懈,不放過偶有一點「墮落」,結果不是變得虛偽就是變

得瘋狂。

此時此地,大中小學的教育並沒有大中小之分,全部都是大大大失

敗。 教育經費驚人?教育的結果更驚人。 學生在思考能力、語文

能力、常識視野、文化修養、品格素質諸方面的水平下降到什麼程

度,路人皆見,毋庸贅述。

 

問題是:何以如此?孰令致知? 內情是:學生沒人理,還得承受

社會的指責。 那麼老師在幹甚麼呢? 教師在強忍,怨氣沖天,發

覺自己跟本無法好好備課,教書,關注學生,因為沒有時間。 那

麼時間都跑到哪裏去了呢? 時間都給偽專管理主義那套表面冠冕

堂皇而實則巧立名目弄虛作假的無聊規管消耗殆盡了。
