28 mayo The 4 wives in our lifeThink this is something quite worth to think it through..
There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives.
He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men. He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times. Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her. One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!"
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart.
The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" The merchant's heart sank and turned cold. He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated. Then a voice called out : "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have !" Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives ....... The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave with us when we die. Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. The 1st wife is in fact our SOUL and SPIRIT, often neglected in our pursuit of material wealth and sensual pleasure. Guess what ? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it's a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we're on our deathbed to lament. Sent by Daniel LOke 09 diciembre Be strong, honey.

28 noviembre A GREAT mind!The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen.
"Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper with a barometer." One student replied:
"You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, and then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground. The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building." This highly original answer so incensed the examiner that the student was failed. The student appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct, and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case. The arbiter judged that the answer was indeed correct, but decided to call the student in and allow him six minutes in which to provide a verbal answer which showed at least a minimal familiarity with the basic principles of physics. For five minutes the student sat in silence, forehead creased in thought. The arbiter reminded him that time was running out, to which the student replied that he had several extremely relevant answers, but couldn't make up his mind which to use. On being advised to hurry up the student replied as follows: "Firstly, you could take the barometer up to the roof of the skyscraper, drop it over the edge, and measure the time it takes to reach the ground. The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H = 0.5g x t squared. But bad luck on the barometer." "Or if the sun is shining you could measure the height of the barometer, then set it on end and measure the length of its shadow. Then you measure the length of the skyscraper's shadow, and thereafter it is a simple matter of proportional arithmetic to work out the height of the skyscraper." "But if you wanted to be highly scientific about it, you could tie a short piece of string to the barometer and swing it like a pendulum, first at ground level and then on the roof of the skyscraper. The height is worked out by the difference in the gravitational restoring force T = 2 pi sq root (l / g)." "Or if the skyscraper has an outside emergency staircase, it would be easier to walk up it and mark off the height of the skyscraper in barometer lengths, then add them up." "If you merely wanted to be boring and orthodox about it, of course, you could use the barometer to measure the air pressure on the roof of the skyscraper and on the ground, and convert the difference in millibars into feet to give the height of the building." "But since we are constantly being exhorted to exercise independence of mind and apply scientific methods, undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on the janitor's door and say to him 'If you would like a nice new barometer, I will give you this one if you tell me the height of this skyscraper'." The student was Niels Bohr. He gave us the structure of an atom, for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1922. 24 noviembre 五年後你在幹嘛五年後你在幹嘛~精彩故事之李恕權
讓我與你分享一段小故事,或許在這個階段,可以很實際地幫助你我走出目前的困境。 一九七六年的冬天,當時我十九歲,在休士頓太空總署的大空梭實驗室裡工作,同時也在總署旁邊的休士頓大學主修電腦。縱然忙於學校、睡眠與工作之間,這幾乎佔據了我一天二十四小時的全部時間,但只要有多餘的一分鐘,我總是會把所有的精力放在我的音樂創作上。 我知道寫歌詞不是我的專長,所以在這段日子裡,我處處尋找一位善寫歌詞的搭檔,與我一起合作創作。我認識了一位朋友,她的名字叫凡內芮(Valerie Johnson)。自從二十多年前離開德州後,就再也沒聽過她的消息,但是她卻在我事業的起步時,給了我最大的鼓勵。年僅十九歲的凡內芮在德州的詩詞比賽中,不知得過多少獎牌。她的寫作總是讓我愛不釋手,當時我們的確合寫了許多很好的作品,一直到今天,我仍然認為這些作品充滿了特色與創意。 一個星期六的週末,凡內芮又熱情地邀請我至她家的牧場烤肉。她的家族是德州有名的石油大亨,擁有龐大的牧場。她的家庭踓然極為富有,但她的穿著、所開的車,與她謙卑誠懇待人的態度,更讓我加倍地打從心底佩服她。
第一 :五年後我希望能有一張很受歡迎的唱片在市場上發行,可以得到許多人的肯定。 凡內芮說;「你確定了嗎?」我慢慢穩穩地回答,而且拉了一個很長的Yessssss!凡內芮接著說:「好,既然你確定了,我們就把這個目標倒算回來。 「如果第五年,你要有一張唱片在市場上發行,那麼你的第四年一定是要跟一家唱片公司簽上合約。」 「那麼你的第三年一定是要有一個完整的作品,可以拿給很多很多的唱片公司聽對不對?」 「如果,你的第五年已經在與這些人一起工作,那麼你的第四年照道理應該有你自己的一個工作室或錄音室。那麼你的第三年,可能是先跟這個圈子裡的人在一起工作。那麼你的第二年,應該不是住在德州,而是已經住在紐約或是洛杉磯了。」
次年(一九七七年),我辭掉了令許多人羨慕的太空總署的工作,離開了休士頓,搬到洛杉磯。說也奇怪:不敢說是恰好五年,但大約可說是第六年。一九八三年,我的唱片在亞洲開始暢銷起來,我一天二十四小時幾乎全都忙著與一些頂尖的音樂高手,日出日落地一起工作。
