別儲存快樂

今天我在星洲日報的副刊读到一篇短短来自冰果的文章，题目是別儲存快樂，其文章如下

“愚癡的我，近來才領悟到一個道理。生命中充滿過程，相比起來，成果卻不多──過程的時光多，成果通常只是一陣子而已。
小學6年，畢業只一天。中學6年，畢業只一天。大學3年，畢業也只一天。
我們總是計劃計劃計劃，沒想到變化總是快過計劃。我們總是幢憬幢憬幢憬，把快樂延後推、延後推，放在達到目標時。
結果一生中，去日苦多。
何必呢？
要在過程中，就開始享受快樂。快樂被儲存，又不會生利息。能夠在過程中快樂的人，就先賺到了。
所以有孩子的人，不要叫孩子他們用功讀書用功讀書用功讀書，然後放假才帶他們去旅行。平日常帶他們到公園玩一玩、海邊走一走、看一場電影，看他們把歡笑釋放出來。
不要累積快樂，快樂要在每個日子裡散發散發散發，才不會發酸。
就如在畫一本漫畫，不要等到出版時才歡喜慶祝，那只是一剎那的歡樂而已，在過程中，就要享受創作的樂趣。
唸書時，就讓孩童嚐嚐學習的樂趣。不能只期待得到文憑的快樂。
成果的欣喜，有時只一瞬間就消失，然後更加空虛低落。
不如去享受過程的快樂，細水長流，一點點、一滴滴，反而是雋永的。
生命的過程，真的很長很長，不懂得享受過程，以為快樂只出現在終點，實在太吃虧了。
不要忘了，人生的終點有時候比預期來得早、來得突然，根本來不及享受。金庸說得好：“到頭這一生，難逃那一日。受用了一朝，一朝便宜。”
所以，工作時，別等到賺到一桶金才開心，應該日日勤奮之際，也讓心情放輕鬆一些。隨時體味生活中的小樂趣。
不要買瓶香檳藏直到忘記，偶爾要寵寵自己，淺嚐一番。
遠大的目標，放在心中。一路走，一路享受過程。
把握當下，當下就快樂。”

这文章提醒我不要忙着追逐自己的目标，只在乎成功时的快乐；在过程中也讓心情放輕鬆一些，好好享受过程。遇到困难时，要用积极与乐观的态度来面对，把它看成一个训练及挑战，因每一个难题的出现是紧急测验来考验自己的能力是否成熟了，进步了，添加多了。在无风浪时，也不忘居安思危，为雨绸缪。人生中有如一场打不完的战或一本读不完的书，在生活的各方面，都有不同的挑战，克服了一个之后又会有另一个更难的挑战出现。一关过了又一关，一个目标达到后又会设一个更高的目标；在学习方面也一样，学无止境，一定要活到老学到老，所谓‘学如逆水行舟，不进则退。为学患无疑，疑则进也。 知不足者好学，耻下问者自满。’如果要达到目标才快乐，一生的快乐少之又少啊。。。

Success is a Journey, Not a Destination

Tonight, came back from office already 10 pm somethings, really exhausted. Experiencing the limitation of time after working, many personal things and hobbies that I can't allocated my time and energy for. Urge to achieve dreams will make people ignore those things they already have. Just received a picture from a my friend from Hong Kong, Ruby, this picture inspire me to slow down my steps, because success is a journey, it is not a destination, it remind me should allocate time to rest, and enjoy those things I have now, family, relatives, friends, colleague...

失败是通往成功的桥梁

其实失败并不可怕，可怕的是失败之后没有勇气再站起来！ 害怕失败是难以成功的，害怕跌倒的小孩是永远学不会走路。失败往往会带给人重大的打击，忧伤与失落会随至而来，它能让软弱的人关起紧闭的大门，不敢再在原地站起来。然而，要做一个刚强的人却需要时间和勇气来越过心中的重重高墙，只要战胜心中的恐惧，才能把阻碍人前进的脚绊石变成脚踏石。决定了的事就要去做，不管将来的结局会是怎样，迈向挑战哪怕只有那么一丁点赢的机会成功，没尽力过就选择放弃等于选择失败。尽力的结果是未知数，任谁也不懂；放弃的结果只有一个。机会有如雅典里的一个雕像，拥有很长的头发在头前，头后却没有头发，是秃的;当机会来的时候就要捉紧，要是流失了，再也追不回。。。。。

青年大专生活营

Tonight I "accidentally" open the my picture folder and then "accidentally" open the folder called 青年大专生活营, those picture remind me the sweet memories in that camp, got to know a lot of brothers and sisters, we all together listened preaching, ate, played games, chatted and shared each other's life......... very nice and sweet.......
Some of them still keep in touch with me while some are not. I am here to pray and wish you all live with Christ ^_^

Habitudes

Finish reading Habitudes #1 for second time, it is a good book written by Dr. Tim Elmore, that provide right concepts for Christian who want to be a leader. There are 13 chapters inside, every chapter is very good, those teaching and concepts are base on bible, are practical. It is good for Christian, even everyone. It mentions that people who want to lead others, they have to know how do lead themselves first, it is about the art of self-leadership.

New way of learning and prioritize

Rushing project for a month, I start to realize that the way that I learned new things was wrong in past 6 years. Last time in form 6 and in university, I was more concentrate in theory part rather practical part, most of the time I just contribute a very small part in my group assignment, I was weak in programming, and I thought after finish notes and whole book I will automatically know how do complete the assignment, I was wrong. I also tried to finish whole book before going for examination, I believed that after I finish reading whole book, I should know how do answer the questions, but every time I also couldn't finish it. I had a thinking like "if I don't finish reading whole book, I won't answer all the questions". While my roommates always got the good result, the reason was they knew how do study important and necessary part first but I was not, even not enough time I still want to study the whole and don't want to choose those necessary part to study first, at the end I couldn't finish study and also missed the important parts. After this month, I start to learn how do prioritize those things I need to complete. Some problem is urgent and important, some is important but not urgent and some is not so important or urgent but necessary. In this month, the urgent and important thing is I have to finish the project within the deadline given, so I need to survive in my job first, so I used short time to learn those important and necessary knowledge and concept first, but don't waste time to read finish whole programming language book, I can learn it step by step more detail after this project is done, because it takes much time; and learning how do fully utilize those resources that I have now, like Internet, seniors and those programming code examples. If I still continue to use my old way to do this project, I believe that the progress of completing this project will be very slow, may over deadline too......

Colleague farewell

Last Saturday, I went to Hartz chicken buffet restaurant because of ex-colleagues gathering and farewell meal for James, he will go back to China next month. This was the third time only four of us came out for meal. Still remember the first time four of us went to Korean restaurant in Ampang…… we all chat and chat in car until we lost the way, after asking policemen and people, we reached the restaurant finally, those Korean foods were really new to me, those meat, vegetable and drink….The second time was having burger meal in Burger King in KLIA, me and James order the extra size burger, eat until extremely full….. I was almost vomit….Cathy was the first who resigned and went back to her hometown, Butterworth, then Yi Le, finally James is going to leave too………We tried very hard to adjust free time slot to gather for this time, Yi Le worked on that day, James got meeting, and Cathy came from Butterworth….Due to long time no see, we talk more than eat, hehe, really enjoy the treasure time we all together……After that we went to Halo music cafe……. Really enjoy the environment in there, nice songs, but the drinking menu was quite weird…. A lot of funny drink with funny name…….
