左諗諗，右諗諗，前諗諗，後諗諗!

 

度橋諗計，不外是把意念，重新組合，執頭執尾，改頭換面，整色整水，打橫諗，打直諗，倒𨍭諗，訓低諗，訓醒諗，甚至是行又諗，企又諗。

左諗諗，右諗諗，前諗諗，後諗諗，做人、做事，自然更加「抵得諗」，更加腦力「Fit」一世!

醒目之人，每每懂得諗自己，從自己的角度立場去諗，亦會就情況需要，懂得倒番轉頭，從別人的角度立場去諗，照顧一下別人的諗法或立場，尤其是別人的感受。

Simplicity is King，創意愈「簡」手愈好!

笑裡「藏禪話」、 笑裡「藏啟示」

相隨心生。

笑從心生。

笑裡「不藏刀」、 笑裡「不藏劍」。

笑裡「藏新意」、 笑裡「藏心意」。

笑裡「藏笑彈」、 笑裡「藏急智」。

笑裡「藏禪話」、 笑裡「藏啟示」。

正所謂：談笑用「Brain」!

正所謂：談笑「豐」生!

笑是一種福氣。

笑是一種美德。

笑是一種樂觀、正向的人生態度。

皆因人生苦短，做人更加應當「哈」得就「哈」、「笑」得就「笑」，滄海豈能只得「一」聲笑？

一於集「See」廣益, 自強不「Sick」!

愛迪生曾經說過: 「我不只讀幾本書，我閱讀整個圖書館。」(“I didn’t read a few books, I read the library.”)

有志氣，有Guts。

尤其是以當年，只受過三個月正統學校教育，在家中由母親自行教導的愛迪生而言。

人不多看、多聽、多問、多讀，會少了得益，甚至是許多事情，也會容易感到不「識」!

人不集思廣益，多加點集「See」廣益的話，做人自然較難自強不息，尤其是若要做到視野經常多角度、亮點多多，知識和智慧層面，自強不「Sick」!

都市人愈來愈傾於娛樂、消閒、消費。

冇壞，阿Q精神點來說，起碼有助推動經濟...。

都市人愈來愈疏於閱讀、思考、學「雜」。

虧扺，皆因只會拖慢個人投「知」回報...

其實娛樂和自學，愈來愈可以混成一體，捲作一團，變成用來消磨時間的「娛學」，而非「愚學」!

識時務者反通脹! 抗通脹!

高通脹! 反通脹! 抗通脹!

如何「腦」力地迎戰高通脹,齊心打贏這場仗!?

高通脹! 反通脹! 抗通脹!已成為近日,不少升斗市民和消費者們,極愛談論、極之關心的都市話題,因為金錢愈來愈不好使, 高通脹「通」到入肉。

他們尤其是極留意,2011年的高通脹新情況和走勢,希望從中加以對策,以及在日常的起居飲食、衣食住行內,作出更策略「勝」、更物有所值的消費戰略(Strategic, Value-based Consumption)。

「識時務者為俊傑」的企業,不妨考慮與消費者、顧客們,有「橋」未為輸地共同度過高通賬的非常時期,以「抗通脹」、「反通脹」作為行銷攻勢新主題和噱頭,在當然要顧及營利表現之餘,也可多嘗試,站在客人的一邊或角度去想、去找靈感,想出一些較為「應時」、「啱聽」、「啱嘴形」的市場戰略,多說顧客的言語,而只管非「犯衆憎」地,事事找藉口加價,尤其是在面對衆競爭對手時,反而是倒轉傳統方向地來搶客,以「腦」賣「腦」地推 出「抗通脹」、「反通脹」的產品、服務系列、以至日常的顧客抗通脹知識錦囊等,從中贏取目標顧客好感,做個良好企業公民,令顧客容易產生共鳴之餘,更樂於光顧和親近。

看來,有市場觸覺的報章、雜誌,可開闢過度時期的「反通脹版面」,為讀者提供日常消費上的錦囊妙計!

相信高通脹、 反通脹、抗通脹的口號和訴求,將進一步隨處可見,也會借勢地變成了不少品牌、產品、以及服務等,在高通脹底下所作出的「應市」行銷手段和訴求。

欠缺「能見度」，自然「難見道」！

某天，一早醒來，天也未亮，打開窗門一看，發覺濃霧很大，兼且天氣潮濕，能見度很低。
 

 

能見度低，自然看不清前路。

 

能見度低，自然眼前視野迷糊，令人容易迷失方向。

 

頓時令人感覺，做人欠缺「能見度」，自然也容易「難見道」。

 

因此，必須經常擦亮眼睛...

 

在這社會歪理愈來愈多、愈來愈看不清、看不透的「迷霧」年代裡，必須擁抱更高的「能見度」，方可在這價值觀經常被扭曲、容易迷失迷亂的年代裡「能見道」!

 

皆因道有「正道」，例如：天道、地道、人道、公道、悟道、正路的待人之道、溝通之道、管教之道、以至夫妻相處之道...

 

皆因道有「邪道」，例如：無道、 霸道、歪道、魔道、傍門左道、無間道、以至胡說八道...

 

正所謂：「道」中有「道」，「道」亦有「道」。

 

道有柔道、舞道、劍道、截拳道、 武士道 、畫道 、茶道、飲食之道、以至養生之道。

 

道亦有政道、醫道、商道 、財經之道、 管理之道、打工之道、服務之道、品牌之道、銷售之道、培訓之道、科網之道、以至度橋之道。

 

做人、做事，凡是掌握了待人處事的正確之「道」，自然更加得心應手， 頭頭是「道」。

 

 

因此十分喜歡這個「道」字....中國哲學裡，其中一個最重要的「關鍵字」....。

Don’t worry. Be happy!

“In every life we have some trouble, but when you worry you make it double. Don’t worry. Be happy.”

–Bobby McFerrin (1950 – )
American music artist
10-time Grammy Award winner

 

 

做人容易「輸」，並非輸在沒有「學歷」...

做人容易「輸」，並非輸在沒有「學歷」。

 

做人容易「輸」，是因為沒有充分發揮「學力」、輸在沒有慎防「跌呢」，用腦和用心地去判斷是非黑白、去判斷甚麼事情「應該去做」和「不應該去做」！

 

我曾見過不少海外名牌大學畢業，「學歷」甚高，但畢業後甚少看書---甚少主動地去提升「學力」和「思考力」的新一代和舊一代管理人。

 

我當然亦曾遇過不少中學也未畢業，但居然經常書不離手、 書不離口，每天下班後不看過雜書便不安樂---經常主動提升「學力」 和「思考力」 的公司老闆及管理人。

 

兩者最大的分別是，前者「跌呢」容易，「升呢」難！

 

 

因此，不妨向只重個人「包裝」，不重個人「武裝」的外面化年代說「不」!

 

因此，不妨向只重個人「修身」 ，不重個人 「修養」 的表面化年代說「不」!

 

因此，不妨向只重個人「改容」 ，不重個人「內容」 的人工化年代說「不」!

 

 

只講求外在美---例如:「瘦身」、「減肥」、「整容」、「扮靚」、從而少了講求內在美--例如:「人品」、「增值」、「用腦」、「用心」、發揮「學力」的社會型態，每每是都市人，不自覺地步入了「跌呢」社會年代的致命傷或先兆。

 

過去所學的知識和思考方法，正在不斷貶值和過時，因此在這愈來愈殘酷現實的數碼經濟年代裡，始終都是以下兩句:

 

1.「適」者生存---要不斷提升個人的適應力!

 

2.「識」者生存---要不斷學識、學習一些有用東西、有市場的新學問、不斷學習明「己」、明「人」、明「事」、明「理」、明「義」、明「禮」，方為「升呢」上策。

 

換言之，記緊提升學「力」， 慎防「跌呢」！

Don't Be Just Busy, Busy... Find your Meaning!

Don't be just busy, busy...  Find your meaning! A great read. A book summary on....

Man's Search For Meaning

by Victor Frankel

1.No man can tell another what his purpose for being is. Each must find out for himself, and accept the responsibility that his answer prescribes.

2."He who has a "why" to live can bear with almost any how." (Friedrich Nietzsche)

3.Anything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

4.Don't aim at success- the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.

5.The salvation of man is through love and in love.

6.Humor is a vital weapon of the soul's fight for self-preservation. Humor, more than anything else in the human make- up, can afford an aloofness and an ability to rise above any situation, even if only for a few seconds.

7.The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity - even under the most difficult circumstances- to add a deeper meaning to his life.

8.Man's inner strength may raise him above his outward fate.

9.It is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future. And this is his salvation the most difficult moments of his existence, although he sometimes has to force his mind to the task.

10. The prisoner who had lost faith in the future, his future, was doomed. With his loss of belief in the future, he also lost his spiritual hold; he let himself decline and became subject to mental and physical decay.

11. A man's courage and powers of resistance are based in hopes of achieving some future goal.

12. It really doesn't matter what we expect from life but rather what life expects from us. Stop asking about the meaning of life and instead think of yourself as the one being questioned by life, daily and hourly. The answer must consist not in talk or meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.

13. Sometimes the situation in which a man finds himself may require him to shape his own fate by action. Sometimes man may be required simply to accept fate, to bear his cross. Every situation is distinguished by its uniqueness, and there is always only one right answer to the problem posed by the situation at hand.

14. "That which does not kill me, makes me stronger" (Friedrich Nietzsche)

15. Striving to find a meaning to one's life is the primary motivational force in man.

16. In the Nazi concentration camps, one could have witnessed that those who knew that there was a task waiting for them to fulfill were most apt to survive.

17. Mental health is based on a certain degree of tension, the tension between what one has already achieved and what one still ought to accomplish, or the gap between what one is and what one could become. Such a tension is inherent in the human being and therefore indispensable to mental well-being. We should not be hesitant to challenge man with a potential meaning for him to fulfill. What man needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for a worthwhile goal, a freely chosen task. This state of tension is represented at one end by a meaning to be fulfilled and at the other by a man to fulfill it.

18. What matters is not the meaning of life in general but rather a specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment. Everyone's task is as unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.

19. Live as if you were already living for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now!

20. The true meaning of life is to be discovered in the world rather than within man or his own psyche, as though it were a closed system.

21. We can discover the meaning in life in three different ways: by creating a work or doing a deed, by experiencing something or encountering someone and by the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering.

22. When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. We have the ability to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn predicament into achievement.

23. Suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.

24. Man's main concern is not to gain pleasure or avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in his life.

25. Suffering is NOT necessary to find meaning. Meaning is possible even despite of suffering. To suffer unnecessarily is masochistic not heroic.

26. The challenge in life is to live your thoughts not merely put them on paper.

27. Ironically enough, in the same way that fear brings to pass what one is afraid of, likewise a forced intention makes impossible what one forcibly wishes. Excessive intention makes impossible what one wishes.

28. A human being is not in pursuit of happiness but rather in search of a reason to be happy. Once the reason is found, one becomes happy automatically.

 

由「食腦」變成「食電腦」時代...

不得不承認，我們早已從一個以往標榜「勞」力士、凡事「落手落腳」做的年代，走進了現在一個標榜「有橋未為輸」、用人腦、用電腦借力的「腦」力士年代裏。

我們漸漸由「食腦」，變成「食電腦」，互聯網、電腦、電玩、以至手提電話，愈來愈變成我們人生、工作和生活之中，極為核心的一部分，當中是禍是福，確實因人而異，見仁見智，不能妄下斷言！

在互聯網、電腦的時代裏，我們許多時過分標榜食「腦」多過食「心」，愈來愈忽略了人氣、人情味，忽略了對別人（而非電腦、手機）多加關心，這一點確實是互聯網、電腦科技不斷進步而不自覺地產生的致命傷、一種潛伏性的「奪命飛針」。

事實上，在「腦」力士的年代裏，我們更加極度分秒必爭，在資訊極度加快、更加透明之下，我們做事其實也更加「勞」心、「勞」力！

有聽不完的來電、有覆不完的電郵、有不斷下載了而用也未用過的iPhone或Andriod智能手機Apps。美其名，新一代的都市人被稱為「腦」力士，其實，想深一層，「腦」力士只不過是「勞」力士的另一種糖衣包裝、客氣稱呼而已！

淪為繁忙「電腦奴隸」

人與電腦之間的「主」和「客」角色關係，已漸漸含糊不清，被本末倒置。兩者角色的主客地位被曲解、大扭轉。人類最終才是電腦的主人，電腦最終只應扮演僕人 的角色﹗都市人尤其是部分新一代的「腦」力士，在不知不覺之間，成為了繁忙的「電腦奴隸」，有時捉錯用神，用錯電腦，讓電腦進一步分薄了人與人之間、面對 面溝通相處的寶貴時間和感情，例如有時錯用社交媒體（Social Media）、forums、以及YouTube等，作為互相攻擊，發起罵戰的工具。

難怪北京師範大學的郭齊家教授有這樣銳利的社會觀察、曾經這樣說道：「現代一些大學生、研究生以及知識分子，對中華文化經典缺乏溫情與敬意。他們精於科學，荒於人學；精於電腦，荒於人腦；精於網情，荒於人情；精於商品，荒於人品；精於權力，荒於道力。」

對此我十分焦急，如何突破這一狀態？各個國家、民族都面臨三大矛盾：人與人、人與自然、人身與人心的尖銳矛盾。應如何化解？人類的希望和前景在何方？」。

事實上，以上一番發人心省的說話，不僅適用於部分大學生、研究生以及知識份子，更適用於現今香港社會的各個階層，不論是老、中、青的「腦」力士，尤其是，對互聯網、電腦過度、過分沉迷的社會族群，相信有一定的啟示。

究竟是電腦「用緊」、「玩緊」人，抑或是人「用緊」、「玩緊」電腦，每每也是繁忙的都市人、政府高官、以及商業機構的管理決策人，應當經常停下來，反問自 己一下的話題，皆因在這愈來愈迷失的「食電腦」年代，以「腦」為本將會愈來愈變本加厲，反觀以「人」為本的核心價值，必須經常被放在電腦科技之前，否則以 「人」為本的電腦科技政策及營商方針，一定被嚴重削弱和侵食，失去原來應有的帶頭地位。
