Organize Your Photos


Whether it takes one night or several days, spend time with yourself and your past by organizing your photos.  Start by collecting stray photos from every corner of your house.  Make piles sorted by date.  Put a Post-it note on the top photo with the year and wrap an elastic band around the piles.

Start putting the pictures into albums in chronological order.  Pay attention on the photos --- how far back do they go?  How much has changed?  Look how far you've come!  Enjoy this personal time to reminisce.  The key to happiness is to be thankful for all of the fun you're had with the great people you know.

Sadness is part of the human experience


Sociologist Emile Durkheim wrote, "Man could not live if he were entirely impervious to sadness."  It is true that sadness is an important part of the natural life cycle.  It often takes something tragic to make us realize all that we have to be thankful for.  Don't panic if you are feeling down --- take a deep breath and remeber that you are only human.  Understand that this too shall pass and you will be happy again.

「逆境菩薩」-- Janice



某大公司招聘職業經理人,應徵者雲集,其中不乏高學歷、工作經驗豐富的人。

最後,老闆將親自面試最後的六名應徵者。可是當面試開始時,主考官卻發現考場上多了一個人,就問道:「有不是參加面試的人嗎?」

坐在最後面的一個男子站起來:「先生,我在第一輪就被淘汰了,但我想參加一下面試。」

所有的人都笑了,就連站在門口為客人倒茶水的老頭也忍不禁笑。

主考官不以為然的問:「你連考試第一關都過不了,又有什麼必要參加這次面試呢?」

這個男子說:「因為我掌握了別人沒有的財富,我本人就是一大財富。」

大家又一次哈哈大笑了,認為該男子或許是頭腦有毛病,或許是狂妄自大。

該男子繼續說:「我雖然學歷不算太高,也沒擔任過重要職務,可是我卻有著十年的工作經驗,

曾在十二家公司任過職……」 主考官插話:「雖然你的學歷和職稱都不高,但是工作十年倒是不錯。

不過你換了十二家公司,這可不是一種令人欣賞的行為。」

男子說:「先生,我沒有主動要換工作,是那十二家公司先後倒閉了。」

大家又是一陣大笑。一個考生說:「你真是一個道地的失敗者!」

男子笑了笑:「不,這不是我的失敗,而是那些公司的失敗。這些失敗積累成我自己的財富。」

這時,倒茶老頭走上前,給主考官添茶水。

男子繼續說:「我很瞭解那十二家公司,我與同事努力想挽救,雖然沒有成功,

但我知道錯誤與失敗的每一個細節,並從中學到了許多東西,這是別人所學不到的。

很多人只是追求成功,而我,更有經驗避免錯誤與失敗!……」

男子停頓了一下,又接著說:「我知道,成功的經驗大部分相似,容易模仿,而失敗的原因卻各有各的不同。

用十年學習成功經驗,不如用同樣的時間經歷錯誤與失敗,所學的東西反而更多、更深刻。

我認為,別人的成功經歷很難成為我們的財富,而恰恰是別人的失敗過程卻是我們不可多得的財富!」

該男子說完,做出轉身出門的樣子,又突然回過頭:「這十年經歷的十二家公司,培養鍛煉了我對人、

對事、對未來的敏銳洞察力,舉個小例子吧——真正的主考官不是您,而是這位倒茶的老伯……」

在場所有的人都感到驚訝,目光轉向老頭。

老頭在驚訝之際,很快恢復了平靜,笑了笑:「很好!你被錄取了,因為我想知道—你是如何知道這一切的?」


啟示:

相信誰不也願意從事十二家公司,而公司都相繼倒閉。更多的時候,我們埋怨我們倒楣,卻沒有換個角度想想:塞翁失馬,焉知非福。

從這個故事,我們也能得出一個結論:錯誤和失敗並不是100%的,錯誤和失敗多了,只要懂得去總結整理,就是一筆財富,因為可以讓我們學會去避免同樣的錯誤與失敗。

另一方面,我們也明白了世事洞明皆學問,人情練達即文章。

這名男子能從倒茶老頭的神情、氣質、舉止等看出他是這家公司的老闆,說明他是一個觀察力很強的人。

而冰凍三尺非一日之寒,這樣的洞察力不是一朝一夕能夠練成的,這需要長期的積累,需要在每一個細節的觀察中不斷的訓練和提升。

向逆境乾杯,跟敵人致敬,打擊你最深的人,一定是你的敵人?錯了,他可能是你最親密的朋友、親人。

打擊你最深的人,一定是負面的?錯了,他可能造就一個更堅強的你。

原諒敵人往往比原諒朋友容易。因為,我們從來不會對敵人付出感情,但是對朋友、親人,

我們也許付出了最真摯的情感;付出了,就希望得到回報,得不到回報,反而被出賣、背叛,

在情感上就會有著被欺騙的傷痛和悲哀。

原諒敵人,那是一種風度和器量的表現;我們之所以可以原諒敵人,那是因為覺得自己在他之上,

有權力去赦免他,甚至可憐他、原諒他,就是不想跟他一般見識。

但是,我們對朋友卻是小器的很,在內心始終無法真正的原諒他。

人生中有許多不可思議的地方,看似弔詭,其實透著玄機,例如說,越是親密的人,往往互相傷害;

愈是自己的親人,反而傷你最深,那些看輕你的人、傷害你的人,可能是你的父母、丈夫、妻子、情人、兄弟、姐妹,甚至是你最好的朋友、同事。

雖然如此,這些人都可能是你人生中的「逆境菩薩」,也是你人生中的「逆增上緣」,因為,有了他們的「激勵」,你才有向上的勇氣及能量。

人生到底是上升,或者下墜,完全取決於你如何看待人生,倘若在遭受打擊時,仍能體會到生命的美好之處,

當你細細品味痛苦的滋味,慢慢咀嚼失意帳惘之時,你就永遠都不會忘記這種「刻苦銘心」的感受。

此時若能化挫折為動力,化困境為動能,那些打擊你的人,就是上天給你最好的禮物,也是上天給你最好的成全。

其實,我們都應學會感謝,感謝那些曾經讓我們跌了一大跤的朋友,因為,成功是來自貴人的提攜,

也來自小人的激勵,若沒有重重跌倒過,就不會想要風風光光再站起來。

向逆境乾杯,跟敵人致敬,英雄往往就是誕生在這樣的時刻, 這也是你重新認識自己的關鍵。

只有面對挫折時,還能夠微笑以對,在困境中學會了感謝,你才能掙脫人生的困境, 走向光明未來。

因為,真正有價值的人,是在逆境中含笑的人。

Lazy..


Here, then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy.    -- R. C. Sproul

懂得感恩的人比較幸福



人們擁有別人沒有的
卻還想要擁有別人也有的
別人擁有的海倫凱勒一樣都沒有
她卻擁有別人所沒有的
那是一顆敏銳的心 一種細微的感覺
只有懂得感恩的人才會擁有
因此她是幸福快樂的

Marci Shimoff - Law of Attraction


The only difference between people who live in this way, who live in the magic of life, and those who don't is that the people who live in the magic of life have habituated way of being.

They've made a habit of using the law of attraction, and magic happens with them wherever they go. Because they remember to use it. They use it all the time, not just as one-time evnet.

Dr . Joe Vitale - Visualization


You want to do this virtually daily, but it should never be a chore. What's really important to the whole Secret is feeling good. You want to feel exhilarated by this whole process. You want to be high, happy, in true, as much as possible.

Everyone has the power to visualize. Let me prove it to you with a picture of a kitchen. For this to work, first of all you have to get all thoughts of your kitchen out of your mind. Do not think of your kitchen. totally clear your mind of pictures of your kitchen, with its cupboards, refrigerator, oven, tiles, and color scheme...

You saw a picture of your kitchen in your mind, didn't you? Well, then you just visualized!


Bangalore, India

The Art of Visualization


Aware of the elements you bring into play when you visualize. As you see the picture in your mind and feel it, you are bringing yourself to a place of believing you have it now.

You are also implementing trust and faith in the Universe, because you are focusing on the end result and experiencing the feeling of that, without giving any attention whatsoever to "how" it will come about. Your picture in your mind is seeing it as done. Your mind an d your entire state of being are seeing it as already happened. That is the art of visualization.





Bangalore, India

The Power of Visualization


Visualization is a process that has been taught by all the great teachers and avatars throughout the centuries, as well as by all the great teachers living today.

In Charles Haanel's book, The Master key System, written in 1912, he gives twenty-four weekly exercises to master visualization. (More important, his completer Master Key System will also help you become the master of you thoughts.)

The reason visualization is so powerful is because as you create pictures in your mind of seeing yourself with what it is you want, you are generating thoughts and feelings of having it now. Visualization is simply powerfully focused thought in pictures, and it causes equally powerful feelings.

When you are visualizing, you are emitting that powerful frequency out into the Universe. The law of attraction will take hols of that powerful signal and return those pictures back to you, just as you saw them in your mind.
