决定你是富还是穷的12条标准

1、 自我认知

  穷人:很少想到如何去赚钱和如何才能赚到钱,认为自己一辈子就该这样,不相信会有什么改变。

  富人:骨子里就深信自己生下来不是要做穷人,而是要做富人,他有强烈的赚钱意识,这也是他血液里的东西,他会想尽一切办法使自己致富。

  2、休闲

  穷人:在家看电视,为肥皂剧的剧情感动得痛苦流涕,还要仿照电视里的时尚来武装自己。

  富人:在外跑市场,即使打高尔夫球也不忘带着项目合同。

  3、交际圈子

  穷人:喜欢走穷亲戚,俗话说:穷人规矩多。穷人的圈子大多是穷人,也排斥与富人交往,久而久之,心态成了穷人的心态,思维成了穷人的思维,做出来的是也就是穷人的模式。大家每天谈论着打折商品,交流着节约技巧,虽然有利于训练生存能利,但你的眼界也就渐渐囿于这样的琐事,而将雄心壮志消磨掉了。

  4、学习

  穷人:读书为了学手艺,工作为了学技术。

  富人:读书为了学管理,工作为了管理人。

  5、时间

  穷人:一个享受充裕时间的人不可能赚大钱,要想悠闲轻松就会失去更多赚钱的机会。穷人的时间是不值钱的,有时甚至多余,不知道怎么打发,怎么混起来不烦。如果你可以因为买一斤白菜多花了一分钱而气恼不已。却不为虚度一天而心痛,这就是典型的穷人思维。

  富人:一个人无论以何种方式赚钱,也无论钱挣得是多还是少,都必须经过时间的积淀。富人的玩也是一种工作方式,是有目的的。富人的闲,闲在身体,修身养性,以利在战,脑袋一刻也没有闲着;穷人的闲,闲在思想,他手脚都在忙,忙着去麻将桌上多摸几把。

  6、归属感

  穷人:是颗螺丝钉。穷人以为出身卑微,缺少安全感,就迫切地希望自己从属于并依赖于一个团体,于是他们以这个团体的标准为自己的标准,让自己的一切合乎规范,为团体的利益而工作,奔波,甚至迁徙。对于穷人来说,在一个著名的企业里稳定的工作几十年,由实习生一直干到高级主管,那简直是美得不能再美的理想。

  富人:那些团体的领导者通常都是富人,他们总是一方面向穷人灌输:团结就是力量,如果你不从属于自己的团体,你就什么都不是,一文不值。但另一方面,他们却从来没有停止过招兵买马,培养新人,以便随时可以把你替换掉。

  7、投资及对待财富

  穷人:经济观点就是少用等于多赚,比如开一家面馆,收益率是100%,投入2万,一年就净赚2万,对于穷人来说很不错了。穷人即使有钱,也舍不得拿出来,即使终于下定决心投资,也不愿意冒风险,最终还是走不出那一步。穷人最津津乐道的就是鸡生蛋,蛋生鸡,一本万利……但是建筑在一只母鸡身上的希望毕竟是那样的脆弱。

  富人:富人的出发点是万本万利。同样的开面馆,富人们会想,一家面馆承载的资本只有2万,如果有一亿资金,岂不是要开 5000家面馆?要一个一个管理好,大老板得操多少心,累白多少根头发呀?还不如投资星级酒店宾馆。一个酒店就足以消化全部的资本,哪怕收益率只有20%,一年下来也有2000万利润啊。

  8、激情

  穷人:没有激情。他总是按部就班,很难出大错,也绝对不会做到最好。没有激情就无法兴奋,就不可能全心全意投入工作。大部分的穷人不能说没有激情,看他的激情总是消耗在太具体的事情上:上司表扬了,他会激动;商店打折,他会激动;电视里破镜重圆了,他的眼泪一串一串往下流,穷人有的只是一种情绪。

  富人:“燕雀安知鸿鹄之志?王侯将相,宁有种乎?”有这样的激情,穷人终将不是穷人!激情是一种天性,是生命力的象征,有了激情才有了灵感的火花,才有了鲜明的个性,才有了人际关系中的强烈感染力,也才有了解决问题的魄力和方法。

  9、自信

  穷人:穷人的自信要通过消费武装到牙齿,要通过一身高级名牌的穿戴和豪华的配置才能给他们带来更多的自信,穷人的自信往往不是发自内心和自然天成的,而是外表虚拟的物质。

  富人:李嘉成在谈到他的经营秘诀时说:“其实也没什么特别的,光景好时,决不过分乐观;光景不好时,也不过度悲观。”其实就是一种富人特有的自信。自信才能不被外力所左右,自信才可能有正确的决定。

  10、习惯

  穷人:有个故事,一个富人送给穷人一头牛。穷人满怀希望开始奋斗。可牛要吃草,人要吃饭,日子难过。穷人于是把牛卖了,买了几只羊,吃了一只,剩下来的用来生小羊。可小羊迟迟没有生出来,日子又艰难了。穷人把羊卖了,买成了鸡,想让鸡生蛋赚钱为生,但是日子并没有改变,最后穷人把鸡也杀了,穷人的理想彻底崩溃了,这就是穷人的习惯。

  富人:根据一个投资专家说,富人成功的秘诀就是:没钱时,不管多困难,也不要轻易动用储蓄,压力会使你找到赚钱的新方法,帮你还清账单。这是个好习惯。性格决定了习惯,习惯决定了成功。

  11、上网

  穷人:不是聊天、游戏就是看电影,穷人聊天,一是穷人时间多,二是穷人的嘴天生就不能闲着;富人讲究荣辱不惊,温柔敦厚,那叫涵养,有涵养才能树大根深。穷人就顾不了那么多,成天受着别人的白眼,浑身沾满了鸡毛蒜皮,多少窝囊气啊,说说都不行?聊天有理!

  富人:上网是为了找投资机会、看看新闻、学习知识。富人上网,更多的是利用网络的低成本高效率,寻找更多的投资机会和项目,把便利运用到自己的生意中来。

  12、消费花钱

  穷人:买名牌是为了体验满足感,最喜欢试验刚出来的流行时尚产品,相信贵的必然是好的。

  富人:买名牌是为了节省挑选细节的时间,与消费品的售价相比,他更在乎产品的质量。

生活在大城市的30项成本(转载的,看的人头大)

生活在大城市的30项成本

选择在大城市生活,就意味着叛变——叛变天人合一的生活方式,叛变轻松悠闲的生活节奏,叛变低风险、低污染、低物价的生活环境。唯一没有叛变的是欲望本身,它被打扮成理想、前途、上进心和生活品质。


没问题,在大城市生活是人人拥有的权利,只要你能承担以下30项成本:


呼吸成本:你在大城市吸入的是二氧化硫、二氧化氮、可吸入颗粒物、重金属和病毒,它们来自工厂排污、机动车尾气、建筑粉尘、香烟、空调以及数百万人的体味。之后,治疗过敏性鼻炎、哮喘和肺癌并不便宜。


亚健康成本:亚健康是穷忙族的忠实伴侣,大城市的白领在这种非病状态下全日无休地工作,直到心力交瘁。因为不是病,医保卡也帮不上忙。


俯卧撑成本:上班族在健身房运动,办年卡,请私人教练,一周一次或两次,直到三天打鱼两天晒网最后放弃。许多人忘了上下楼也可以步行、家里地板上也可以做俯卧撑。


人身意外成本:这些行为造成他人人身损害的几率,在大城市远远高于中小城市。挤压踩踏,高空抛物,建筑事故,闹市行凶……


焦虑成本:不看报不上网有资讯焦虑,休假有落伍焦虑,单身有婚姻焦虑,结婚有婚变焦虑,买房有降价焦虑,工作有升职焦虑,跳槽有待遇焦虑,怀孕有性别焦虑,育子有择校焦虑,中年有转型焦虑——没一步是省心的。


心情低落成本:愤怒、伤心、抑郁、无聊、孤独、无力感,这些负面情绪被上司看见,会质疑你态度不端正影响工作;自己来消化,则需要购物、倾诉、社交、暴食、背包旅行等多种费钱费时的行为配合。


倾诉成本:在深夜你去哪里找一只没有睡觉的耳朵?既想心理宣泄,又不想暴露隐私,很难。于是花钱看心理医生。想省钱的人,就找报纸副刊版编辑,免费贡献一个烂故事。


抗干扰成本:所有正在做的事情都可能被另一件事、另一个人或无数短信与电话打断。MSN选择“脱机”,QQ选择“隐身”,手机选择“转秘书台”,免于干扰又不想错过机会。


择偶成本:人人眼高于顶挑三拣四,其实基本也就朋友聚会或介绍、网恋、办公室、婚介和艳遇这5大异性源。若干次不靠谱的恋爱和100次相亲之后,你会选择一直单身或做个烂人。


感情稳定成本:人心并不交付给对方,只是寄存,随时想抓住新的机会。异性诱惑那么多,出轨门槛那么低,你不知道为感情和婚姻付出多少才够安全。


无效工作成本:合同中止、会议取消、客户发飚、领导改主意……终点又回到起点,一份工作造成N份工作量,播下龙种生下跳蚤。


加班成本:加班最恐怖的不是占用私人时间,而是把在私人时间工作变成了一种日常的工作方式。把女的当男的用、把男的当畜生用,提倡加班不提倡加班费,这也是大城市的一种清明上河图。


有效阅读成本:登机前买一堆杂志,根本不愿带下飞机;泡两小时的网,没找到一条有用的资讯。读一打畅销书和管理书籍,脑子还是不够用,反而纳闷竞争对手是怎么充电的。


充电成本:读MBA结交人脉,参加会展结交行业资源,接受心灵培训重塑自我,参加另类聚会收集信息资源……其中的时间成本已经不能用钱衡量了。


出人头地成本:出一本书就能名列《县志》,开辆宝马就能全城瞩目,这在大城市绝不可能。优秀的人、爱秀的人、有故事的人、有背景的人、创业的人、敢脱的人多的是,凭什么你暴名暴利?


被骗成本:防不胜防的地方在于,不是陌生人骗你,而是机器骗你、系统骗你、朋友、同学和熟人骗你,甚至你的私人资料被多次倒卖引人来骗你。


排队成本:在银行的两个小时里,问候了柜台小姐她妈1000次并刮她耳光100次(在心里)之后,终于轮到你了。买票、埋单、等车、上车、等经济适用房、办通行证都得排队,你简直怀疑你们县里所有村子的人都换上T恤和连衣裙进城了。


数绵羊成本:“每次到了夜深人静的时候,我总是睡不着,我怀疑是不是只有我的明天没有变得更好”——中国的5亿睡眠不良者,3亿以上在城市。


时髦成本:在小城市,一月有一套新衣服就可以领先同事和朋友;在大城市,你要比着铜版纸杂志上的品牌和时装季上的新款来。光是衣服已不够,还有包包、配饰、发型、手表、鞋履、香水、文身、流行语和读物,一样都不能落伍。当然,这一切的前提是必须保持美白和瘦。


吃肉成本:猪八戒比唐僧贵的时代,盒饭是穷人的福音。各类商品的打折季长过一年四季,名牌折扣店、折扣书店、家乐福和宜家广受欢迎,涨工资和降低个税起征点都是好消息。


依山傍水成本:停在一座山上的成本,比爬上一座山的成本贵万倍;看着一条污染的河流的价钱,相当于治理这条河流的价钱——这就是大城市的房地产。


隔音成本:高架路、餐馆、KTV、建筑施工、道路维修、老年人晨练的音响……隔音成本不仅在于双层玻璃,也包括听力受损、心烦意乱。


城中村成本:找工作和租房,是在城市安身立命的第一步;跟房东打交道和跟老板打交道一样重要,租房成本最低的当属城中村。城中村是石屎森林中的无主之地和罪恶之都,又是赢得大城市生存空间的喘息之地和训练所。


停车成本:滞后的城市规划和加速的私人汽车消费,令停车成本比物业管理成本更高,后者能用钱解决,而前者有价码无车位,私人汽车像是超生人口。


堵车成本:每月上下班的拥堵成本,北京人达到375元,占其收入比例的12.5%;其次是广州人273.8元,上海人228.2元,成都人92.6元,西安人69.4元。


候机成本:提前到机场、提前办理登机手续、提前安检、提前候机,都不保证换来准点登机。经济舱乘客和公务舱乘客一视同仁,在机场这座孤岛上滞留并且经常得不到真实准确的飞机晚点原因解释,只得享受无聊和高价餐。大城市的机场总是偏远,相对本城它是一种虚情假意的旅行。


返乡成本:家乡是大城市的心灵后花园,返乡就变得特别拥挤、累赘和辛苦。车票和机票再涨也要买,工作再忙也要放下,人再多也要挤,只要大雪不封路、火车不停运、机场和高速公路不关闭。


散步成本:逛街是为了购物,步行是为了从A地到B地,跑步是为了健身,压马路是在拍拖,什么意义都不赋予的纯粹的散步,令人望而却步。


养宠物成本:动物是人类的朋友,孤独的人需要它,有小孩的家庭也爱它,前提是:缴纳更多的政府部门费用、忍受更多的公共场合禁忌、付出更昂贵的宠物医院治疗费、向邻居道歉。男人养狗,女人养猫,有个性的人养蛇养猪,提升它的地位近似于自己的另一半或家庭成员,不知不觉已不够爱“人”了。


梭罗式生活成本:李银河说:“安静,平静,净化,宁静,纯洁,简朴,纯真,欢乐。这就是梭罗的生活方式和生活态度。如果我想使自己的生活幸福和快乐,就应当保持这样的生活态度。”很遗憾,这是生活在大城市的人们唯一负担不起的生活成本。换句话说,如果他们打算这么干的话,他们宁愿并且只能像梭罗一样,生活在乡下。

25岁之后要懂得的一些东西(转载)

     1,可以装B,但不要被人识破。
  2,如果装B被人识破,那就一定要在别人嘲笑你前,先狠狠的嘲笑自己。
  3,可以尝试任何打扮,除了非主流与脑残系自拍。
  4,不买任何带有明显LOGO的东西,比如LV的Monogram。
  5,一万元以内的奢侈品,可以买,但不可以绷(炫耀)。
  6,信用卡应该有两张,才能拆东墙补西墙。
  7,送朋友礼物一定要大方一点。
  8,对于自己买不起的东西,就不要经常挂在嘴边,写进文里了——好象自己已经在用了一样。
  9,不要大面积染发。
  10,知道有些话只是听听就算了。比如“下次我请你”,“有机会大家一起发财”等
  11,如果不是和很熟的朋友一起去KTV,那请慎重点歌。有些人虽然不知道“粉红色的回忆”、“当爱已成往事”怎么唱,但他们确切地知道这些歌是来自于哪个时代。
  12,家里常备一瓶红酒。
  13,一年至少旅行一次,哪怕只是去远郊洗温泉。
  14,任何在酒吧里认识的花朵般的少女或少年,如果他们很自然地叫你“姐姐”或“哥哥”,不必动心,他们只想把你调教成买单的大头。
  15,酒照喝,舞照跳,只是别晚过两点。不然你会老得很快。
  16,消夜绝对不吃。实在要吃,那就吃完了再出去玩会儿,总之,别吃了就睡。
  17,国内的时尚杂志还是看看就算了,编辑们也多是穿的批发货,听他们的时尚建议等于请盲人指路。
  18,至少知道两个以上名声不响,但口味一流的饭店。
  19,宁肯勤换包包与鞋子,也不要勤换手机或数码相机。
  20,看韩剧不如看美剧,后者真实一些。
  21,不要幻想甚至假装自己是以下某种人群:箩莉、公主、名媛以及〈欲望城市〉里的任一女主角。
  22,不要再以自己不会作饭、不会换灯泡……等等为荣。你以为你还有资格扮无辜?
  23,尽量不要再和人合租。
  24,手机铃声还是朴素一点吧,别整流行歌曲,尤其是网络歌曲。
  25,还是开个BLOG,有些话需要说给自己听,有些事需要让别人知道。
  26,炫耀自己技巧老道,是牛B;炫耀自己睡过的人多,是xx。
  27,切勿再以自己的老公/老婆长地帅或漂亮为荣,听你的话、宠你到爆才是王道。
  28,一夜情依然无罪,但别从网络找,去酒吧。
  29,和一个人只保持在暧昧的状态,这让你荷尔蒙保持旺盛分泌,延缓衰落。
  30,网警屏蔽词语也是一种良好的性体验,而且不可耻。不过,25岁前频繁那是年轻气盛,25岁后请你也照顾一下还要为你排毒的肾。
  31,任何会与他人发生接触的器官,洗洗更健康。比如手。
  32,买避孕套这种工作,不一定非要男生去做。
  33,任何正经的恋爱,第一次约会都不可能是上床
  34,再热烈的恋爱也不需要用两人的大头贴作为手机桌面,以及“老公老公我爱你”作为手机彩铃。
  35,分手后要听杨千嬅,而不是张惠妹。
  36,只看你照片就说要追你的人必定是猪。
  37,自己买的东西就说是自己买的,没必要再说是“老公送的”、“一个朋友特意买给我的”等等之类的话。
  38,秀恩爱有个度,诸如“老公今天起来对我说:你昨晚把我吸干了……”之类的情节,就不用写在BLOG里秀了。有时候以你和你老公的尊容秀出的这种“恩爱”画面,于那些看到你这篇BLOG的熟人朋友,是一种想象上的视觉折磨。
  39,最需要碰运气的事情,不是中500万,而是爱情。注意,这里说的是爱情,为了不付房租而找人结婚则不在此列。
  40,25岁以后最可悲的事情就是扮可怜博同情。
  41,25后,看〈色戒〉是要学会不能让情感控制自己,而不是转头就对男人要钻戒。
  42,曾经你没追到的人现在反过头来追你,坚决不要。不要为他/她的掉价买单。
  43,再猥琐的男人也敢把自己当成情种,只要你主动示好。
  44,情人眼里出西施,但也不要因此就把周围所有的人都当狗屎。
  45,养猫的男人必是GAY。
  46,不可再抱有被有钱人收纳或包养的“梦想”,或者,把这个当作事业来经营。
  47,见到美人追丑鬼,不可再大惊小怪或愤愤不平。口味千姿百态,这和有人喜欢animal sex是一个道理。
  48,有陌生人的场合,出场一定要闪亮和用心。
  49,分手以后可以做的最有意义的一件事就是换个新造型。
  50,这一辈子会爱上你的人很多,25岁以前一个都没有也没关系,25岁以后出现的才是好货。
  51,依然有理想,但饭票已在手。
  52,安然观赏别人的哗众取宠或卖弄风骚,把它当作郭德纲讲相声。
  53,不要接受每个人对你的示好,这其中有一大部分出自于功利。
  54,可以忍受别人说你丑,但不能忍受别人说你老。
  55,女人和女人做朋友,要示之以绿叶的姿态,同时也要暗藏红花的心机。
  56,三种东西绝对不能相信:男人的承诺、女人的眼泪以及朋友的酒话。
  57,总和你玩在一起的朋友一定不会是能提携你的贵人。
  58,在这个社会混下去的办法并不是单纯到只有“陪人喝酒”和“陪人睡觉”两种。
  59,就算月挣3000,房租(贷)2000,但该请客的时候也决不含糊。
  60,与人交友,两种东西不可赖:酒与钱。
  61,只要是在自己的承受范围内,别人爱怎么占便宜就怎么占吧。
  62,有时候和异性成为生死之交、至亲好友的途径是上一次床。
  63,叫你“亲爱的”代表你们不熟,叫你“贱人”、“死货”才是把你放在心上的表现。
  64,作为一对情侣的单身朋友,你唯一需要做好的就是当一个捧场的观众。
  65,如果你是单身,而又有你认识的人看上了你的某个好友,那么切记:真的不必在他们约会的初期夹在中间扮演丫鬟、马夫、小丑、陪客、和事佬……人生只有一次,不要总演配角。
  66,过了25岁,就算做个250也比做个13点好

A nice song

Just saw the movie MUSIC AND LYRICS
 
The movie was great, the music was perfect, the lyrics was maganificent:
 

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

C'est la vie

Finally, I started my badminton tour again with my close friends and the best YONEX rackets - nice gear give me the professional feel, well, to be exactly, I feel pretty good if someone think I'm professional, I don't have to be really professional; and of course, friends are the best motivation to force me realize my physical workout, if I wanna spend more time together with them. However, the tour lasted only for 1 and a half hours, and most of the time I was in the bathroom, took a shower then talked on the phone with somebody. The whole procedure was more like a holy ceremony, everything was wonderful, but the exercise itself. Ha~ha~
 
Above was written yesterday.
 
Today we went to a good restaurant for Chinese buffet lunch, that was so much, we altogether finished more than 30 plates food, but I still felt not enough. Yoyo hid some bird’s eggs in her purse and told us she will feed her dog, I suddenly remember the Americans always ask for packing food for dog, but in fact they eat the food themselves. I wanted to tell her but I thought she’ll kill me. Then we had fun home to make a designer’s dress for my little dog Xiaobai, he was so cute in the dress, silver shining texture, you could imagine how sexy he is now...

Money, borrow or earn?

 

I read some western economic articles these days, let’s talk about money in simple ways today.

 

In Accounting, there is a very famous principle: Assets=Liabilities +Owner’s equity. It indicates that you can earn money or borrow money, both money will be your assets. No matter who owns the money, if you can control and use the money, the money is your assets. What important is who have the right to use money.

 

The Westerners spent hundreds of years to understand this principle. In fact, for the rich people, they don’t nomally own a lot of money, they get loans – they borrow a lot (from the banks, stock owners, etc.). So, being rich is not a process of saving money through hard work, but from borrowing money from others.

 

The Westerners know this, so they borrow a lot of money to invest in the orient, use our cheap labor forces, consume our non-renewable resources, to make goods for them, and get profit from investment, too.

 

Chinese people are afraid of poverty because of the historical reasons, so we sell our labor cheaply, save small money in the banks. And westerners asked: Lend us your money, we pay you interests. We think that’s not bad. So we lend the money to them, they get the right to use our money. So we don’t even have cash in our hand, then the country development was weakened. Then we have to sell our cheap labor force to P&G, to SONY, to NOKIA… what a vicious circle! So Chinese people work overloading for years but we can’t even afford the houses and cars, while the Westerners live richly and comfortably with debt.

 

The second principle: Profits=Income – Expenses, we learn the principle in such a way: improve the income, cut the expenses. So Chinese people export better products to western world, get foreign currencies; then cut the expenses by lowering the salary, cancel the important facilities, even remove the security guarantee to get more profits. We think we’ll be rich that way. But, firstly, this is against the first principle; secondly, what’s profit? It’s money. And what’s MONEY on earth? The paper money is in fact just paper, which could be burnt by fire. The real money is the possession and controlling of the resources. I mean, to be rich means you can use and consume the resources of the society, which is a RIGHT. So, how rich you’re should be judged by how much you consumed but not how much you produced.

 

So, the Chinese people like to lend their money to banks, dare not to consume what they really need. The banks control the money, the rich people control the money and use the money to make them richer, and what we get is just bank interests, small money which already depreciated.

 

Our government has a huge foreign currency reserve, we can spare the money we lent out for billions at one time for other countries, but we don’t even have the money to setup a foundation for the people’s health care and better education. Then think about the US, which is the biggest debtor country, but the people live the very best lives. Why??? Simple!!! They use the world’s money for their own good!

 

Gee… When will Chinese people understand that paper note is NOT real money?

Healthy!! Healthy!!!

We all like to be very healthy, and even some people are NOT afraid of death, but illness scares them a lot.
 
I'm not a very strong man, but sometimes I tire myself too much indeed. So when I'm sick and terribly uncomfortable, I always swear to myself that I'll work less loaded, I'll do more exercise, I'll go to gym more frequently, I'll quit eating midnight snacks and spicy food, etc. But after I recover from illness, I forget it thoroughly. Just this kind of unhealthy tolerance is damaging our health, so from today on please be very conscious to your health and daily habits.
 
Also it's very pathetic sometimes we can't avoid second-hand smoke. So I suggest those who smoke please don't do it in a public area, for Gods sake. And if you hate second-hand smoke, please directly tell the smokers, while our compromise indulges them. Today when I was seeing my doctor in a big hospital, someone smoked a lot in the outpatient room, and the doctor unexpectedly felt nothing, even a girl coughed, it's a shame I couldn't let him stop, maybe I need a little bit more guts to do that.
 
Food is another very important aspect, 1) try not to eat very spicy food. 2) 3 meals per day, don't eat too much while 80% full is perfect, fully full is too much for your stomach. 3) eat fruits before lunch time, better not to eat fruits after 6 P.M.  4) Eat more vegetables less meat less salt. 5) if you can't live without meat, eat more beef steak and fish other than pork and chicken. 6) if you are allergic to MSG, tell the waitress before you order.
 
Above is all I can offer, if you intend to know more about food and nutrition knowledge, please contact my friend (who named Phoenix, a nutritionist) at your convenience, her email: phoenix.chen@hotmail.com    She'll be so glad to tell you more information about healthy meals within her expertise. 

My son Xiaobai

Dog is thought to be the best friend of mankind, well, today I got my "son" from the pet
market, he's just two months old, very tiny and adorable. His father was a Chihuahua,
while his mother was a Pekingese, so he is a mixture boy. Originally, I wanted get a
Golden Retriever, but I was worrying if it grows too huge, maybe I can't even afford to
feed it. And also when I touched the small dog, he bit my finger so tight with his wet
mouth, and his tiny teeth were so fragile. So finally I chose this small one.
 
I named him Xiaobai (Small white), and when I called him, he barked back!!! He's so
smart! I didn't want to leave him home when I went out for dinner, so I put him in a big
shopping bag, take him to dinner with my friends, he kept on barking so I took him out
of the bag, then... ...he did something really special... ...he pooed in the restaurant!! I
was so embarrassing, luckily, one of my friend cleaned the floor with tissue. Well, I didn't
even consider about this. What was worse, he peeed on my roommate’s bed when we
come back, drove her mad as a wet hen. Gee...my son Xiaobai...
 
OK, stop here, feel so sick now, hope the inflamed throat could get well soon.  
 

Music comes around

It's over mid-night, I opened the window since after rain the air was so fresh outside, suddenly I heard the soundly upbeat music from the Tang Paradise Garden (very close to me)!! Immediately I realized that must be the concert of the SUPER BOYS' tour. I was sort of exciting and wanted to call one of my close friends who works there to listen to the music clearly through the phone. The melody and song was so vibrant and attractive, I'm not too old to enjoy this, well, not yet too much old.
 
I didn't realize I can involve in such commercial SUPER BOYS idol program before I saw the 6-5 contest of it on my television by chance, it was just amazing, I can't expect them to be so very professional singers let alone they were so cute and neatly dressed, too. NO WONDER everybody was attracted.
 
Yes, believe me, it's commercial, but, it's perfectly-planned, too, they earn your tears, not just the money-oriented viewing ratio. Every detailed link of the whole contest was made to excellence! The contestants in their prime also showed to the extravagance.
 
I was moved, not only by the contestants before the screen, but also by the staff behind. I couldn't imagine the ordinary people have such extraordinary ideas to offer this summer more fun.
 
Now you can see people could have different ways of life, it depends on yourselves to choose a traditional way or a unconventional way.  What do you think? Well, just like one of my very straightforward friends Hebe said: Be bitchy and witty, makes me happy. Who would deny that's a unique way of life? 

Days Off Home

The reason I come back to my blog is only because I'm on holidays at home, so I have time now to do it.
 
I've been out sick for a couple days with a inflamed throat, blaming for the air-conditioner in my room that's always on at full blast. Luckily my work this month seems not really busy, so I have time hanging out with friends and doing our ridiculous "business" - Mooncake sales.
 
At the very beginning, I didn't consider that much, just wanted earn money from sales commission to pay the bank debt of my credit cards. So I went to meet a purchasing manager of a big company with my friend. Taking some sample mooncakes, we got there. They were so exciting, at least from my point of view they were, but after trying the delicious cakes, they just asked us to leave our phone numbers and went back to work, my friend seemed disappointing but I felt so interesting for the sales experience, however, we dropped out our business plan one more time.
 
Yet my friends and I planned a lot of businesses, but I didn't find one that I could follow-up and devote to. Because of my major at school, for the past two years after graduation I assumed that tourism-related work was what I would end up doing forever - as a job, as a career, as a way of life.
 
But for reasons known and unknown it doesn't attract me much, though I'm still doing it well. So I always have new ideas or dreams that seem hard to approach. Even last night, after I collected and enjoyed some music from the well-drawing movie SECRET, I wanted to learn to play piano! ~lol~ just have fun, and let myself know I'm on the way forward.
