一位印度教徒,步行到喜马拉雅山去朝圣。路途非常遥远,空气非常稀薄,他虽然携带了很少的行李,但沿路走来仍然举步维艰,气喘如牛。他走走停停,不断往前遥望,希望目的地赶快出现在眼前。就在他的前方,他看到一个小女孩,年龄不会超过十岁,背着一个胖嘟嘟的小孩,也正缓慢地向前移动。她气喘得很厉害,一直在流汗,可是她的双手还是紧紧呵护着背上的小孩。
印度教徒经过小女孩的身边,很同情地对小女孩说:“孩子,你一定很疲倦,你背得那么重!”
小女孩听了很不高兴地说:“你背的才是重量,我背上的不是重量,他是我的弟弟。”

温馨提示:
爱没有重量,爱不是负担,而是一种喜悦的关怀与无求的付出。而在现实生活中,我们却不知不觉地把爱变成了一种负担。
人生,不一定要当「最好」,但一定要懂得让自己「更好」;
不一定要登峰造极,但一定要懂得让自己保持在进步的状态中。
曾经听过有一位老太太,在她六十八岁的生日派对上如此许愿着:
「我40岁学弹钢琴(现在她老人家已可以在教会中弹琴),50岁学英文(她已可以用英文与外国人对话),60岁学开车。现在我已经六十八岁了! 如果上帝让我活到七十岁,我一定要开画展。 」
多么让人佩服的态度,不是吗?
人生,该是「进步+ ing」(现在进行式),
而不应是「进步+ ed」(过去式)或「be going to +进步」 (未来式);
该是把握现在,懂得不时地保持在上进状态,
绝不因时间或任何的关系而停止努力,
或是一再地告诉自己「反正明天再开始也不迟」
想一想,如果一位六十八岁的老太太都可以如此上进,那您呢?
您是一个懂得让自己不断进步的人吗?
在此提供您两个小小的妙方:
- 每天去做一件自己虽不喜欢,但却有意义的事:
每天做十分钟的运动,每天背十个英文单字,
每天读一小段最新的商业期刊,每天饶恕一个自己不喜欢的人。
这些事也许您不喜欢,但却很有意义!
不用太久,您的身体、知识、修养、专业能力…..,
必会有迅速惊人的进步。
- 常把目标给设定在比自己现有能力—再多出10%的地方:
做一件事时,除非事关重大,否则在此诚挚地建议,不妨试着把目标给设定在比自己现有能力再多出10%的地方。
也许一开始会累一些,但久而久之,您的能力就会被多「练」出10%,习惯这样的程度后,再把标准提高10% …..,
长期累积,您将在不知不觉中,变成一个巨人!
一个懂的不断更新、上进的人,不但令人钦佩,
也会在这萧条的年代里,较不易面临被不景气给淘汰的压力。
您的人生,会是「进步+ ing」吗?
昨天的您、今天的您、明天的您,
三者能连成一条向上攀升的曲线吗?
值得共勉之!

~~莎士比亚
心理课堂上,一位老师端起一杯水,问在座的学生:“各位认为这杯水有多重?” 。有的学生说40克,有的说500克不等。
老师则说:“这杯水的重量并不重要,重要的是你能端住它多久?端一分钟,大家一定觉得没问题;端一个小时,可能会觉得手酸;端一天,可能需要叫救护车了。”
“其实,这杯水的重量始终是一样的,但是你端得越久,就越会觉得沉重。这就像我们承担的压力一样,如果我们一直把压力放在身上,不管时间长短,到最后我们都会觉得压力越来越沉重而无法承担。我们必须做的是,放下这杯水,休息一会之后,再将它端起来,这样我们才能够端得更久。”
Tony Melendez(汤尼 · 玛兰德兹)著名的 Nicaraguan(尼加拉瓜)guitar player(吉他演奏家), singer (歌唱家)and Christian rock songwriter(福音歌唱家) ,出生于1962年,因母亲在怀孕期间妊娠反应,要抑制晨吐问题,而接受医生的处方,服用thalidomide(撒利多迈德胺)这种药物,造成一出世就没有双臂。他被从尼加拉瓜带来到洛杉矶,装上义肢,直到十岁。十岁那年,他扔掉了义肢,说到,「义肢让我不舒服,我用脚能作的事更多。」
确实地,玛兰德兹用脚愈来愈熟练,一开始,他玩的是风琴,到了高中,他就开始玩起吉它和口琴。当然,他也开始写自己的歌,离开学校后,他曾想要从事神职,但因为神父的工作离不开手,断绝了他的想望。但他一直在天主教堂里演唱。最多时,一个星期天要赶赴五个教会。
一九八七年,玛兰德兹在洛杉矶为教宗演唱”Never Be The Same”,一歌唱罢,教宗上前拥抱他,并亲吻他的脸颊,这个画面,包括玛兰德兹的歌,感动了整个世界。
玛兰德兹一举成名。开始了表演生涯,包括上电视,为职棒总决赛唱国歌,出唱片,等等等等,其后,更在不同的国家和场合,为教宗又演唱了四次之多。
Tony has won Unity Awards Male Vocalist of the Year UCMVA in 2000, 2002, 2004 and in 2002 took Artist of the year. He received the Branson Entertainment Award for Best New

A group of office staff have discovered they work better together when they are NAKED.
Workers at design and marketing company onebestway in Newcastle upon Tyne stripped off at the encouragement of their boss, who thought the move would boost business.
The ailing company had seen six redundancies since the start of the credit crunch when business psychologist David Taylor was brought in to boost team spirit.
The event, dubbed Naked Friday, was deemed a huge success and is even credited with turning around the firm’s fortunes.
Front-of-house manager Sam Jackson, 23, told The Sun: ‘It was brilliant. Now that we’ve seen each other naked, there are no barriers.
‘We weren’t put under any pressure. If we wanted to come in clothed or in our underwear, we could. But I love my body and I wasn’t ashamed.’
During the week leading up to the strip-off, the workers were encouraged to photocopy parts of their bodies to make them more confident about themselves.
A nude model was also brought in for the workers to sketch and talk to.
Sam added: ‘It took a week of David being in the office for us to build up courage. The first few steps were very nerve-wracking, but once I got to my desk and got used to it, I felt totally comfortable.
‘It was emotional but we found we were much more able to talk to each other honestly – and have been since. The company has improved massively.’
Stop complaining about your works or insufficient education your child might be facing..
世界上还有许多小孩无法接受正常的教育,由于无法上学,他们从很小就必须在恶劣的环境下工作挣钱。这些国家大部分是在中东和非洲的国家,因为国家长期处于战争和政府体系不完善,教育就被牺牲了。希望各位看了以下的照片,可以珍惜我们现在的“财富”,不要只是在埋怨自己的工作和教育。

有个故事,说的是一个穷人,很穷,一个富人见他可怜,就起了善心,想帮他致富。富人送给他一头牛,嘱他好好开荒,等春天来了撒上种子,秋天就可以远离那个“穷”字了。
穷人满怀希望开始奋斗。可是没过几天,牛要吃草,人要吃饭,日子比过去还难。穷人就想,不如把牛卖了,买几只羊,先杀一只吃,剩下的还可以生小羊,长大了拿去卖,可以赚更多的钱。
穷人的计划如愿以偿,只是吃了一只羊之后,小羊迟迟没有生下来,日子又艰难了,忍不住又吃了一只。穷人想:这样下去不得了,不如把羊卖了,买成鸡,鸡生蛋的速度要快一些,鸡蛋立刻可以赚钱,日子立刻可以好转。
穷人的计划又如愿以偿了,但是日子并没有改变,又艰难了,又忍不住杀鸡,终于杀到只剩一只鸡时,穷人的理想彻底崩溃。他想:致富是无望了,还不如把鸡卖了,打一壶酒,三杯下肚,万事不愁。
很快春天来了,发善心的富人兴致勃勃送种子来,竟然发现穷人正就着咸菜喝酒,牛早就没有了,房子里依然一贫如洗。
富人转身走了。穷人仍然一直穷着。

温馨提示:
很多穷人都有过梦想,甚至有过机遇,有过行动,但要坚持到底却很难。
据一个投资专家说,他的成功秘诀就是:没钱时,不管再困难,也不要动用投资和积蓄,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。
性格形成习惯,习惯决定成功。
有一个富翁因为实在太富有了,所以凡事都要求最好的。
有一天他扁桃腺发炎,照理这不过是一个小毛病,任何一个耳鼻喉科的大夫都可以看得好,但是由于他求好心切,他一定要找到一个最好的医生来为他诊治。
他花费了无数的金钱,走遍各地寻找医病高手,他一地一区的走,每个地方都告诉他当地有名医,但是他认为一定还有更好的医生,所以他又继续在找。
直到有一天他路过一个小村庄,扁桃腺早已恶化成脓,病情变得非常的严重,必须马上开刀,否则性命难保。
但是当地却没有一个医生,这个富有的人,居然因为一个小小的扁桃腺发炎而一命呜呼!
