對!我就是那種當我緊張或覺得無力感的時候,希望有人可以陪陪我的人,我就是那種需要有人給我鼓勵給我信心的人;反正搞到最後我像個娘們似的,反正千錯萬錯都是我的錯,反正這種事對你根本就無傷大雅,反正到最後也只是和蟹掉......

前天夢了一個很神奇的夢,夢到了一位多年不見的老友,雖然已經多年不見,但在夢中卻感覺與她一點都不陌生,似乎就像是我的知心好友,在夢中我們促膝長談,彼此交換自己的心得,而我自己困惑已久的疑問,也因此得到了解答;等到一覺夢醒,心中那股莫名的舒坦,彷彿心中一塊大時頭落下般;對於這段奇妙的夢,不禁讓我想起神劍裡頭,雪代緣問了劍心一句話"你說姐姐上次對著你微笑,那現在呢?現在他還在笑嗎?",而劍心回答"不知道,自從上次看到她的微笑之後,我就在沒見到她的影子,也沒聽見她的聲音了,不過這樣子很好,她的微笑看一次就夠了......",忽然,我似乎可以了解作者想表達的意境了,真的,聊一次就足夠了,因為還有更重要的人在等著我。
"你怎麼知道你到底愛不愛她?"
"我不知道,但我只知道跟她在一起的每一天都是快樂的"
"你怎麼知道你到底愛不愛她?"
"我不知道,但我只知道跟她在一起的每一天都是快樂的"

從前從前有對夫妻,他們非常非常喜歡孩子,甚至每天都在討論要如何收養小孩,但是丈夫知道要養一個小孩談何容易,他也知道沒有足夠的時間、金錢或是耐心就貿然領養只會讓大家都不幸福的,但是妻子卻堅決的表示他就是要領養小孩,他會全心全意來照料小孩,在凹不過妻子的堅持之下,做丈夫的也只好答應了;在接下來的日子當中,妻子終於體驗到照顧小孩的困難與辛勞,但她卻沒有如她所允諾的照顧小孩,而是轉而把心力放在工作上,當然照顧小孩的重擔自然就全落在丈夫身上,剛開始他也是無怨無尤的撫養小孩,唯一繼續支持他的就是期待著全家可以開心的出遊,可惜好景不常,他的事業出現了危機,無法再像從前花這麼多的時間來陪小孩,於是乎他希望孩子的媽可以加減出點心力來照料孩子,那怕是再短的時間也好,只要讓他知道至少她是關心孩子的,但是得到的回應卻是連一次關心也沒有,而妻子口中所回答的:「等我先賺夠了錢,到時候全家就會很幸福了」,卻是這麼的諷刺,他知道多少人說過這句話的結果是如何,他也知道幸福應該是全家人攜手共渡難關,但他就是相信自己的眼光沒有錯,自己的老婆總是為他著想,於是乎他選擇相信妻子,他選擇再苦也要把孩子拉拔長大;就在某個風和日麗的天氣,一切是這麼適合全家出遊的日子,卻也是這麼一天,就是在這天,他的心都碎了;這天大家都答應好要全家一起出遊,就正當所有人都準備好的同時,妻子的手機響了,就在一陣匆忙後,他看到了她穿著的光纖豔麗,坐上了從旁駛來的一輛拉風跑車,並且說:「我可以跟他出去嗎?如果你覺得我們全家還要一起出遊的話,我也是可以取消啦!」,看著自己穿著土里土氣,又是開著十幾年的中古老車,跟跑車內的駕駛根本就是天差地遠,難道他還有臉說不嗎?看著妻子在自己呢喃說好的同時,跑車早已揚長而去的同時,他終於醒了,原來他早已經得到了答案,這一切都是他的一箱情願,這一切都是他自欺欺人,至於之後堅持繼續出遊後,被人羞辱的經過,只是讓他忽然驚醒,什麼是快樂,什麼是幸福,什麼是這戲遊人生的目的,這一切似乎都再清楚不過了……
「每個人的目的都不同,我只是希望能夠忘卻所有的煩惱」
「而我卻是希望能夠與你分享成就的喜悅」

勇氣
在我們身活的周遭有著各式各樣的不公平,小從自己的自身利益,大到新聞媒體上各種的貪污舞弊,但是當我們在對任何不公平表達不滿的同時,可否想過自己是真的因為對於這些事件缺乏社會正義、不符合公平公正而憤恨不平,抑或是因為自己無法從中分一杯羹,因此去反對、去表達不滿;或許這個想法過於偏激,但是如果換個角度來思考呢?如果今天你是既得利益者,你有勇氣去將這個不公平、不合乎社會正義的利益釋放出來嗎?舉個最簡單的例子,總是會有人抱怨某某某這次考試作弊,但是這些抱怨的人又有多少人是從來未曾作過弊的。作弊這個例子好用是因為人人都有機會可以作弊,而偏偏大部分的人都無法抗拒這個誘惑,因此在我們的周遭發生時,我們總是默默的隱忍,因為我們知道我們也會作弊;但是今天大部分的不公平,我們都不太可能是既得利益者,因此我們總是批判得理所當然,不管是波蘭醫生事件、立委自肥事件、保險金判決趨於保守;然而如果換個角度來想,今天你變成既得利益者,今天當你將你的孩子送到波蘭念醫後,這時發生了反波波的聲音,你有勇氣對你的孩子說你留學的這幾年都沒有意義了,你能做的是快回國來並趁你還年輕的時候再學習另一向謀生技能嗎?今天當你選上立委後,這時某些企業家雙手奉上讓你能夠償還競選金費後還足以應付你後半生無後顧之憂,你有勇氣拒絕豐沃獻禮並靠自己胼手胝足償還上億的競選金費嗎?我並不是說因為自己無法抗拒,所以我們應該讓這些不公平繼續發生,但是當你表達不滿,而你又無法勇敢的說不的同時,這就好像你大聲的說作弊是不應該的,而私底下你卻還是繼續作弊,要不然就像是我得不到,所以你也休想得到它的負面想法。
我承認當我面對這些抉擇的時候,我無法很果斷的說我一定能抗拒這些誘惑,我真的很害怕自己內心深處的貪婪會將自己的理智吞噬,因此我總是希望從你那兒得到些勇氣,這也就是為甚麼今天我會這麼急切的希望你能夠表態。

每當你發現自己對於現有的處境感到不公平,而想反抗卻又力不從心,想改革卻又無所適從的時候,這時你是會堅持下去據理力爭,就算是革命維新也在所不惜,亦或是摸摸鼻子自討無趣,繼續任由他人魚肉;不知道,或許是最好的解答,我唯一知道的是,或許過著什麼都不知道的生活似乎能讓自己快樂點,真羨慕傻人有傻福......

命運好好玩
今天並不是說我要找你碴,我也知道你考完你只是想要放鬆一下,但是我不解的地方是為什麼就表示那麼一下會有這麼困難嗎?就那麼一丁點你也不願意表示嗎?我也不是要你只能改別隻,這只是一種感覺你知道嗎?從我抱怨後,你有照我說的做過那麼過一次嗎?況且我跟你抱怨也不是第一次了,抱怨到我都覺得是不是你故意跟我賭氣,是不是我越說的事你越要跟我唱反調,你可以想想那時你叫我不要搖水罐,但是我卻繼續的那種感覺,難道妳真以為我是沒時間嗎?我也沒有在你沒時間的時候要求你,況且這明明就是你想出來的主意,而你給我的感覺就好像是反正只要你自己開心就好,難道妳都不了解我會繼續是因為我只想要跟你一起玩,其他那些我根本都不在乎,這不也是我們當初會一起玩的原因;我可以跟你說就算是我拿到再好的裝備,沒有你的參與,對我來講,這遊戲根本一點意義都沒有;去年暑假的教訓你都忘了嗎?剛開始你都玩你自己的,到後來我好不容易追上,因為時間的差距,又變成你繼續玩你自己的,你可知道我一度已經不想玩了,但是看你熱衷成這樣,我才想這次會不會有改善,照這樣的情況看來,我看又是重蹈之前的覆轍,既然你覺得跟那些不認識的人玩比較好玩,那你就繼續玩你的,我繼續在後面慢慢龜......
對!這只是個遊戲而已,如果你覺得我只會在這方面做文章的話,那你就太不了解我了......

對牛彈琴
從前從前有個很喜歡吃糖的小孩,總是會在媽媽身邊大聲囔囔吵著要吃糖,起初媽媽與小孩約法三章,而這個小孩也都很遵守著這個約定,但是卻不知從何時開始,小孩的媽媽漸漸給的糖開始越來越少,小孩剛開始雖然覺得奇怪,但是因為體諒媽媽,覺得一定是有什麼原因,因此總是在囔囔要糖吃卻得不到糖時,就摸摸鼻子自討無趣;直到某天,小孩發現媽媽不是給的糖越來越少,而是根本就不給糖吃了,於是乎小孩便天真的想要知道怎麼了,這時媽媽卻說,你太常囔囔吵著要糖了,這代表了你太常吃糖了,難道要滿足你所有的願望,而且吃糖是可有可無的事,更何況你大聲囔囔吵著要糖讓我不喜歡;雖然小孩滿腹委屈,難道沒吃到糖而吵著要糖吃就代表胃口變大,難道小孩吃糖是什麼可恥的事,有哪個小孩不是吃糖長大的,更何況他吃的糖跟別人相比已經很少了,人類不是就偏好吃甜食,為什麼媽媽不跟大家一樣吃糖,還非常排斥吃糖,為什麼吃個糖好像是件見不得人的事,為什麼吃個糖要這樣被人數落,為什麼吃個糖要像跟人乞求一樣,而且不大聲囔囔根本就不可能會有糖果可以吃,照這個邏輯下去難道他以後都不用再吃糖了;雖然如此,小孩還是乖乖的不再大聲囔囔,但是他卻始終懷疑著,而媽媽卻以為小孩不再大聲囔囔就代表著他不再想要吃糖,所有的問題都迎刃而解......

悶
今天妳問我說兩年有沒有很久?我想對我來說,我永遠不會嫌久,我不會用時間來衡量,因為愛情並不是有保存期限的食品,對我來說,我只會嫌為什麼沒有早點認識妳,為什麼時光過的這麼匆忙,因為跟你在一起的每一天都是快樂的;嗯!今天是兩週年紀念日,雖然說紀念日這種東西,只是形式上而已,一年、兩年、三年.......,這只不過是數字上的迷思,要不然也可以講成一百天或兩百天的紀念日,只要換個形式,天天都馬可以是紀念日;講是這麼講啦,但是就像是在情人節當天,你會說情人節也是種形式嗎?當你被週遭的人都閃的時候,你還會這麼覺得嗎?又或是當人人都拉著另一半開心的出遊時,這時你才發現你的另一半宅在家裡打電動,真不知道該怎麼形容這種感受。哭哭,天殺的牙齒偏偏又在這時候捉弄我,真是一路悶到底。

新訓心得(一)
好吧!先聲明一下這篇文章算是滿負面的想法。首先先來講軍中的生活,其實軍中的生活方式跟我以前去過的魔鬼訓練營很像,只不過在軍中體能上會非常的操,當然跟到什麼樣的連長操的程度就真的有差別,像我們連上就算是真的很操,至少跟這一營其他兩個連比起來,我們可以說是有天壤之別吧!不過就像阿毛說的,說真的操久了後,如果今天比昨天操得少,就會覺得今天比較涼;在剛開始會不適應,我想除了體騰上無法負荷以外,另一個最大的主因應該就是自己的時間真的非常的少,從早到晚真的有永無止盡的事等著去做,每天直到休息的前一刻,都還是繃緊神經的狀態;其實再累的生活方式,只要你找到了適應或調適的方法,你就會漸漸的習慣,再忙的生活,只要抓到了模式,就能從中忙裡偷閒。
故事到這裡就有了完美結局了嗎?當然不是,說真的,新環境只要時間久了,你就會自己慢慢的適應,但是觀念上的不適應,我想就算是時間再久,也無法去調整或配合;其實在入伍之前獲知後,我都一直覺得我當兵的意義就是去鍛鍊自己的體能以及去認識各種不同的朋友,這想法直到我們第一次上了靶場作射擊後,完全的顛覆了我的想法;在靶場當我聽到第一聲槍聲後,我整個人事非常的震驚,雖然在高中的時候就有做過實彈射擊,但是我那時並沒有太多的印象,而這次的實彈射擊,真的是讓我感到太震驚了,那子彈射出後的巨響以及對肩窩的撞擊,對我的腦中好像是一次次的擊打,腦中所思考的,並不是耳鳴所帶來的刺痛感,或是肩膀的疼痛,不斷在我腦海盤旋的是當這子彈打中人的情景;當打靶結束之後,旁邊的人紛紛開始討論自己射擊的成績,還有當有人說實彈射擊是最好玩的操課,而大家一起附合時,我只想問一句話:槍這種東西真的有這麼兒戲嗎?或許會有人說我很娘,但是射擊完的當下,我只覺得我恨透了這把槍,並且重新思考了這入伍從軍的意義。
在大家的觀念中男人入伍從軍、保家衛國是天經地義的事,當過兵後,就能讓你成唯一個真正的男人,這我不否認,在軍中確實能讓許多從未與父母脫離,並且從未獨自在外的人學習獨立,但是這都算是當兵的副屬而已,說白一點,當兵的主要意義就是訓練你成唯一部殺人機器,從射擊訓練,到刺槍術以及單兵訓練,這些都是教導你如何在作戰時,如何殺死敵人並且存活下來,"殺死敵人",聽起來好像是個遊戲,只要幹掉敵人我們就會得到勝利。容我說一句,幹!!!!!!!!!現再提到的是一個活生生的人,不是遊戲裡面死掉以後還是可以釋放靈魂撿屍體的虛擬人物,在操課中做的任何動作練習都是為了殺人而做,難道大家都能夠這樣等閒視之嗎?不要說那麼多廢話,只要腳色互換一下,今天被射擊中的那個人,今天被刺槍刺中的那個人,不是敵人而是妳,這是一個多麼悲哀的話題,我不相信每個人都有那麼堅強的意志,當你面前站著一個活生生的人,一個上有高堂下有妻兒的"敵人",而能輕描淡寫的扣下板機。或許會有人說,這麼多的廢話,每個人都像你一樣,那國家沒有軍人,是不是就等著別國來欺負好了;對,我承認,我就是沒有那麼的堅強,我就是沒有辦法承擔這沉重的包袱,或許又會有人認為我太小題大作,但這本來就是當兵的核心價值,你可以選擇視而不見,但是對我來說,這就是一層很大的陰影,我無法對其不去思考、不去揣摩。

Every business, regardless of size, must carefully identify and plan its shorts and long term goals.More importantly, every business must attempt to strike a balance between the two and make sure that one dose not dominate the other. If some businesses want to get huge profits and quick returns, for example, by pirating name brands such as Christian Dior, Chanel, and Lancome, business relations are doubtless infected thoroughly with the disease of short-sighted motives. Fortunately, there is plenty of evidence suggesting that business often look well beyond short-term goals.
The desire to generate a profit lies at the heart of every business, and this desireis the chief element that prevent business from placing too much emphasis on short-term goals. In order to maintain a steady increase in profits, a company must continually upgrade its products or services, and this objective can be accomplished only by establishing long-term goals. These types of goals enable businesses to meet the future demands of their customers and not to fall behind the completition. Conversely, any business that focuses too much upon short-term srategies will not only minimize its profits, but also jeopardize its existece.

"A nation must maintain a highly competitive educational system--a system in which students compete among themselves and against students from other countries--to ensure its own economic success."
The claim in question is that if a nation is to ensure its own economic success, it must maintain a highly competitive educational system in which students compete among themselves and against students from other countries. I strongly disagree for the following reasons.
First of all, a country must be good at what it already dose, not at what other countries are good at doing. Only in this way will it be competitive. For example, consider two countries, A and B. Country A is good at producing bicycles very affordably and country B is good at manufacturing computers very affordably. The intelligent thing to do, guided by the above claim, would be to have everybody in country A schooled in computer science and everybody in country B schooled in the technology of bicycles. But this is pure nonsense, at least if trade flows freely between A and B. A will make (and sell) what it is good at making, and B will do the same.
In addition, different people learn in different ways, and what is good for the people of one country might not be good for the people of another. A highly competitive education in which students compete among themselves might work in one place but not in another. Furthermore, overemphasis on scholastic competition and high grades can undermine freedom of thought, something that a country needs if it is to be economically competitive. With freedom of thought comes inventiveness and originality, which are essential ingredients in any successful economy.
Finally, the success of a country depends not just on its economic performance. Part of its success depends also on its level of culture--its awareness of its own history, its appreciation for the arts, its love of books, and so forth. However wealthy a country is, it is something less than successful if it is devoid of culture. Evidently, a successful country must also educate its citizens about its culture-- a kind of education that has little to do with achieving economic success.
In summary, I strongly disagree with the claim that if a nation is to ensure its own economic success, it must maintain a highly competitive educational system in which students compete among themselves and against students from other countries. I strongly disagree because a country must be good at what it already dose, not at what other countries are good at doing. Moreover, different people learn in different ways, and what is good for the people of another country. Finally, the success of a country depends not just on its economic performance.

"The most effective way for managers to assign works is to divide complex tasks into their simpler component parts. This way, each worker completes a small portion of the task but contributes to the whole."
It is sometimes difficult to discuss people's views about whether the most effective way for managers to assign work is to divide complex tasks into their simpler component parts, because it is such a multifaceted question. While the first reaction of some people may be to disagree with this statement, I feel it is worthy of deeper consideration. In my opinion, there are three reasons to agree with this statement.
First of all, breaking a complex task down into its parts and assigning each part to a certain worker (or group of workers) takes advantage of the fact that different people have different skills. For instance, the complex task of putting up a high-rise building might require as many as hundred sets of skills, or trades such as electricians, pipe fitters, insulators, and crane operators. One part of the job would call for qualifications in electrical work, still another in crane operating, and so forth.
In addition, by providing a complex task into its component parts, the very job of overseeing this task becomes that much more manageable. For example, in delegating different parts of the job to different groups of works, it becomes that much easier for the supervisor to schedule and monitor the output of each group. If one part of the job is behind schedule, the supervisor will know which group to single out as being responsible for the delay. Beside, of another part is ahead of schedule, then he will know which group to praise. Indeed, in delegating different portion of the job to those in charge of the various trades, the supervisor dose not have to get bogged down with trying to "micro-manage" the details of the task.
Finally, when a task is broken down into its parts and each part is assigned to a certain worker (or group of workers), it is easier to complete the job on time. Consider, again, the construction of a high-rise building, and how long it would take if the electrical work could not begin until the plumbing was completed, and the heating ducts could not be installed until the electrical work was completed. Consider, by contrast, how much faster it would be when the wiring, plumbing, and heating ducts could be installed at more or less the same time by the different trade workers. It is when a complex task is broken down into clearly distinctive parts that it becomes possible to plan for having different trade workers working on different parts of the job at the same time.
In summary, for the reasons and example just cited, I firmly believe that the most effective way to manage a complex task is to divide it into its component parts. The approach makes the most of the fact that different people have different skills. Furthermore, it also makes the task of managing much easier. Finally, this approach to a complex task shortens the time it takes to complete the task.

It is sometimes difficult to discuss people's views about whether the most effective way for managers to assign work is to divide complex tasks into their simpler component parts, because it is such a multifaceted question. While the first reaction of some people may be to disagree with this statement, I feel it is worthy of deeper consideration. In my opinion, there are three reasons to agree with this statement.
First of all, breaking a complex task down into its parts and assigning each part to a certain worker (or group of workers) takes advantage of the fact that different people have different skills. For instance, the complex task of putting up a high-rise building might require as many as hundred sets of skills, or trades such as electricians, pipe fitters, insulators, and crane operators. One part of the job would call for qualifications in electrical work, still another in crane operating, and so forth.
In addition, by providing a complex task into its component parts, the very job of overseeing this task becomes that much more manageable. For example, in delegating different parts of the job to different groups of works, it becomes that much easier for the supervisor to schedule and monitor the output of each group. If one part of the job is behind schedule, the supervisor will know which group to single out as being responsible for the delay. Beside, of another part is ahead of schedule, then he will know which group to praise. Indeed, in delegating different portion of the job to those in charge of the various trades, the supervisor dose not have to get bogged down with trying to "micro-manage" the details of the task.
Finally, when a task is broken down into its parts and each part is assigned to a certain worker (or group of workers), it is easier to complete the job on time. Consider, again, the construction of a high-rise building, and how long it would take if the electrical work could not begin until the plumbing was completed, and the heating ducts could not be installed until the electrical work was completed. Consider, by contrast, how much faster it would be when the wiring, plumbing, and heating ducts could be installed at more or less the same time by the different trade workers. It is when a complex task is broken down into clearly distinctive parts that it becomes possible to plan for having different trade workers working on different parts of the job at the same time.
In summary, for the reasons and example just cited, I firmly believe that the most effective way to manage a complex task is to divide it into its component parts. The approach makes the most of the fact that different people have different skills. Furthermore, it also makes the task of managing much easier.
