这些日子经历了不少事情，经一事，长一智。了解到能相逢的人，算是一种缘分。能做朋友的，也是一种缘分。能做夫妻的两个人，是需要靠因缘来结合。能做父母和孩子，住在一起当然也是一种缘分。只要我们懂得人与人相处之道，一定可以和睦共处，和乐融融。爸爸在他的丰富的夫妻相处之道，说了一句话让我感动:“夫妻要相爱，也要相处。”这就是爸爸对妈妈的爱细水长流了40年以上。

随缘
人生如梦，醒来才会发现自己白忙了一场，
成也好、败也好， 爱也好、恨也好，
富也好、贫也好， 苦也好、乐也好，
所有的努力，始终还是过眼云烟，
即使你用一辈子的眼泪来挽留，
也没有一样东西是你留得住的。
今天看到这些句子，这是真的，没有一样东西是我们可以留得住的。所以只要我们已经尽了力，为自己的行为负责，一切随缘。

Leopard Trio
Leopard Dream
I dreamt about Leopard few weeks ago. I had a special encounter with the Leopard. It is still vividly in my mind. I dreamt about everyone in the village were very fearful of the Leopard. Only myself was steady enough to sit on the floor. As the Leopard was looking at me and started walking towards me. I felt the sense that the Leopard is seeking for comfort. The Leopard slowly lay down on my lap and I kissed on the Leopard forehead, wanted to calm him down. The Leopard felt comforted and relax. After awhile, the Leopard stood up and walked away. I woke up too.
It is my first time dreaming about Leopard. Interestingly, I did the research about seeing leopard in dreams. It says The leopard is a symbol of a valiant warrior who braves dangers with force and courage. To see a wild leopard in my dream suggests that I will eventually overcome my difficulties through persistence. Alternatively, dreaming of a leopard means that I am who I am, just like a leopard can't change its spots.

More Information about Leopards
Leopards are a rich yellow in color and covered in dark spots. They are about six or seven feet in length and they weigh an average of 150 pounds.
Leopards are found throughout Africa, however they do not inhabit the Sahara Desert. The Leopard can make a loud deep roar. They are keen hunters, and feed on a wide variety of food sources. They will eat insects, to rodents, to extremely large animals such as a giraffe or buffalo. They are extremely agile, and can climb trees with ease. They will often seek shelter in trees, and use their vantage point to survey their surroundings.
They hunt alone, and they do it silently. The leopard will hide itself behind plants or amongst tall grass, and silently creep closer to its prey, then hide again. Once they gain a capable distance, they will accelerate and take down their prey.
The most secretive and elusive of the large carnivores, the leopard is also the shrewdest. Pound for pound, it is the strongest climber of the large cats and capable of killing prey larger than itself.
Leopards come in a wide variety of coat colors, from a light buff or tawny in warmer, dryer areas to a dark shade in deep forests. The spots, or rosettes, are circular in East African leopards but square in southern African leopards.

徐佳瑩 - 失落沙洲
好好听的歌喔！曾经不能理解为什么成人的世界这么多残缺，这么复杂。原来是因为人总是喜欢简单的事情把它想象成很复杂。自己想通了，心情也平复了许多。领悟到了，一个人也要勇敢地向前走。
詞曲：徐佳瑩
又來到這個港口 沒有原因的拘留
我的心乘著斑駁的輕舟
尋找失落的沙洲
隨時間的海浪漂流 我用力張開雙手
擁抱那麼多起起落落
想念的還是你望著我的眼波
我不是一定要你回來 只是當又一個人看海
回頭才發現你不在 留下我迂迴的徘徊
我不是一定要你回來 只是當又把回憶翻開
除了你之外的空白 還有誰能來教我愛
又回到這個盡頭 我也想再往前走
只是越看見海過天空
願意和沒有你分享我的感動
我不是一定要你回來 只是他有一個人看海
疲憊的身影不是我 不是你想看見的我
我不是一定要你回來 只是當獨自走入人海
除了你之外的依賴 還有誰能教我勇敢
除了你之外的空白 還有誰能來教我愛

黃小琥 - 沒那麼簡單
作詞：姚若龍
作曲：蕭煌奇
沒那麼簡單 就能找到 聊得來的伴
尤其是在 看過了那麼多的背叛
總是不安 只好強悍
誰謀殺了我的浪漫
沒那麼簡單 就能去愛 別的全不看
變得實際 也許好也許壞各一半
不愛孤單 一久也習慣
不用擔心誰 也不用被誰管
感覺快樂就忙東忙西
感覺累了就放空自己
別人說的話 隨便聽一聽 自己作決定
不想擁有太多情緒
一杯紅酒配電影
在周末晚上 關上了手機 舒服窩在沙發裡
相愛沒有那麼容易 每個人有他的脾氣
過了愛作夢的年紀 轟轟烈烈不如平靜
幸福沒有那麼容易 才會特別讓人著迷
什麼都不懂的年紀
曾經最掏心 所以最開心 曾經
沒那麼簡單 就能去愛 別的全不看
變得實際 也許好也許壞各一半
不愛孤單 一久也習慣
不用擔心誰 也不用被誰管
感覺快樂就忙東忙西

別人說的話 隨便聽一聽 自己作決定
不想擁有太多情緒

Drop the Pink Elephant
I am reading this book: Drop the Pink Elephant currently. This book is written by Bill McFarlan in 2003. 15 ways to say what you mean... and mean what you say. I like the part where this author shares about positive criticism and compliments.
I have written down the essence of this book. However, I still recommend this book to friends who enjoy reading and have a sense of humor :)
The Pink Elephant are words of denials such as 'don't', 'not', 'no', 'did not' and 'didn't' are transparent. We automatically look through them for the real meaning.
For example, if i say 'Don't think of pink elephant.' Immediately, your mind will appear a clear picture of a Pink Elephant!
So a pink elephant is unnecessary and normally vivid, negative. It is the metal baggage we always carry around with us.
Always tell people who we really are.
1. Begin with some self analysis. Are you using Pink Elephants?
2. Describe what is happening. Stick to the positive point.
3. Hunt down the Pink Elephants in your conversations and those of others.
Chapter 2 - Every Picture Tells a Story
1. Speak in vivid pictures to paint clear descriptions.
2. Use analogies to turn abstract concepts and jargon into bright pictures.
3. Avoid talking above or below your audience's level. Instead, talk to their level.
Chapter 3 - Staying on Louisiana Highway
1. Retain the moral high ground by remaining patient and polite.
2. Be sure of your facts and use only polite explanation.
3. That's how to stay on Louisiana Highway, rather than getting stuck in the swamp.
Chapter 4 - Sorry seems to be the hardest word
1. Saying 'Sorry' is the best way to start rebuilding confidence in your relationship after something has gone wrong.
2. We respect those who apologise - and lost respect for those who pretend to be infallible.
3. Regret, Reason and Remedy offers an apology, explanation and solution. It manages expectation, which must then be met.
Chapter 5 - Tell the Unpalatable Truth, rather than the 'White Lie'
When you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. - Mark Twain
1. The truth can be defined by how far you are willing to go to establish a fact.
2. The truth is reality, white lie is a figment of the imagination.
3. Once a lie is discovered, you are a liar.
Chapter 6 - Thank You and Well Done Well done is better than well said. - Benjamin Franklin
1. Saying 'Thank You and Well Done' demonstrates your appreciation. It raises your self-confidence and that of the person you are thanking.
2. It builds loyalty, while lack of recognition builds indifference.
3. When someone thanks you, accept his or her gratitude with good grace. Put it in the bank and watch your confidence grow.
Chapter 7 - Who looks stupid when you criticise in public?
1. Destructive criticism of children and adults alike destroys their self-confidence and often turns them into critics themselves.
2. Only offer criticism privately and ensure you are able to explain how things can be done better.
3. Humour is great. Just make sure everybody finds your humour funny. Haha :D
Chapter 8 - Flush out the watering down words
1. Remove words that dilute your message. Words like 'quite', 'relatively', 'hopefully', 'fairly' and 'reasonably'
2. 'I'll do my best' and 'I'll try' both lack firm commitment. 3. To avoid sounding evasive, where possible begin an answer with 'yes', 'no' or 'I don't know.'
Chapter 9 - Talk positively about yourself
1. Start describing your life positively and watch the interest grow.
2. Be positive in the face of bad news. By breaking the news, you remain in control of what's being said first.
3. Instead of assuming, check the facts.
Chapter 10 - It's all relative
1. For anything to be interesting, we need to relate to it.
2. What's interesting to us may well be boring to our audience.
3. Put a problem into perspective to see how small it really is.
Chapter 11 - Email and text - Bullets or Boomerangs?
1. Emails travel at the speed of bullets, so be certain of what you're saying before pulling the trigger.
2. Conversational English makes a speech or presentation much easier to follow.
3. We all have accents. Stop being self-conscious about yours.
Chapter 12 - Three little questions
1. What do I want to say? Always have a few points ready.
2. Who am I speaking to? Consider your audience and their interests.
3. How should I put it? Once you consider that, you can arrange your bullet points in order of importance.
Chapter 13 - Listen first to Understand
1. Listen carefully to the person you are talking with.
2. Contribute to the conversation in a meaningful way, rather than just waiting to butt in.
3. Use body language and the tone of your voice to add conviction to your well-chosen words.
Chapter 14 - Powerful words
1. Powerful words can sum up a situation better than loose thoughts.
2. They can inspire you to succeed and to act in the knowledge that others have gone there before you.
3. Words have to be consistent with your actions - Otherwise they are empty words.
Chapter 15 - Think, Talk, Act... Then Tell the World
1. Put all the highway code rules of good communication into action each day.
2. Allow your confidence to grow from the certainty they bring your words, your thoughts and your actions.
3. Tell the world what you have to offer. It can mean the difference between success and failure, happiness and frustrations. Even life and death.

Truly Inspired by Todd Beltz
Todd received a very nice email from a student who is studying photography at a college in Australia and as a part of his assignment to develop a business plan, he had to connect with a professional photographer in an area of photography that he most enjoyed.
The student found Todd's work and asked Todd a bunch of questions which he happily shared what he know with the student. The student's question though made him really think and that was, any advice in closing that he could offer? This was his response..random thoughts and what he have learned over the years:
"Stick with what you know, learn all you can, stay hungry, and stay foolish. Never give up. Create new ideas, always shoot, develop a style all your own, network all you can with those around you, don't make enemies and don't act as if you are better than everyone else, especially to those seasoned photographers who have been around awhile. Share your knowledge, insights and help those photographers under you who are just starting to break into the market. Look up to those who have been there and done that, study the styles of others but don't copy them. Learn something new all the time. Ask a lot of questions. Attend photography gatherings. Put a smile on your clients face. Be humble. Take risks. And most of all, enjoy life to the fullest." Todd Beltz
He did photography purely passion. Sure he makes money from it but he loves to share and hopefully by doing so he inspires others to grow and discover their passion as well.
Thanks for sharing his thoughts on Facebook wall with me and his friends. That's how I feel towards my designing work as well. His words re-enforce what I believe and have been doing for all these years. Thanks Todd!

Photography Career Factors
Todd Beltz posted a situation on his Facebook wall.
Photographers would you pay $500 to have your portfolio reviewed by some top editors of magazines, ad agencies and galleries from around the world or should something like this not come at a price? Paying this fee doesn't guarantee you a job..just a meeting.
I think the below advises are pretty relevant to me. I just need to twig it according to my own career path.
Photography career factors to consider
by Felix Hug
1. Where are you in your career? Its not only to get a job straight away, but some valuable advice from people in the business and the market you are aiming for.
2. If its the right organization doing it, its money well spend, because it can open your network as well. Looking back at my first years some of the help i got from editors and senior people in the business was much more worth then 500 dollars.
3. Photography in todays market is a long and winding road, unless you are super talented. You need people who mentor you and point your nose in the right direction. Its really not only what you know but who you know as well, given that you have solid work.
4. In Sydney I would call ad agencies and try to get meetings with the Creative Directors, just for the sake of getting advice on my folio. It was very hard, because this people are busy a lot and so many photographers know on their doors.... However the meetings i got were very valuable. One of the best advice I got was actually that I'm in the wrong market location wise and the explanations i received made perfect sense. You have to understand that meetings like this are about a lot more then the quality of your images. Its about understanding how the market works in the region you are trying to operate.
5. If you do it, make sure you arrive with lots of questions ;-). All the things that keep buzzing around in your head, keeping you from your path.. ask them. Don't wait for them to help you out... make them help you, by asking questions.
6. Most importantly: Listen! Learn!.. this is not the time to be proud or arrogant (not that you would be). Its the time to soak it all up and adjust the career path. You want to know what steps to take next. Ask them also, if you do make some adjustments down the road, would they be willing to meet you again (not for money), but for actual job interviews.
Felix Hug was born in Switzerland at the beginning of the carneval (Fasnacht) season in 1964, the 11th day of the 11th month, at almost at 11.11 am to be precise.
How much that indicated, what would become, an unconventional lifestyle is unknown, but heavily influenced by his late father, a painter, he followed his passion for design and the arts.
He has won Best Image Awards in the following competitions:
@ The Asian Geographic Grand Prize, Singapore
@ The International Photography Awards, USA
@ American Photo, Image of the Year, USA
@ Travel Photographer Of The Year, GB
@ The New York Photography Awards, USA

容祖儿 - 挥着翅膀的女孩
你曾经对我说，做勇敢的女孩。虽然你已不在，我也不是那个懵懂的女孩，遇到爱 用力爱 仍信真爱。
Dedicate this beautiful song to all single ladies in this world. :)
Dedicate this beautiful song to all single ladies in this world. :)
许志安 郑秀文 - 其实你心裡有没有我
若爱上你怎么躲
梦你迷人笑涡
如我每天总偷偷想你
这应否算是傻
在这芳心燃起恋火
但你明了我么
而每一天日子轻轻飞过
谁愿分秒记着我
但愿你容我接近你更多
谁预算情爱这样难捉摸
Oh No
长夜里点点星火犹如你窗边经过
(长夜里我要化做你眼中星星一颗)
凝望我闪出光彩照亮心窝
(来让你每个晚上亦望见我)
让我再次回忆当初
是我爱你太多
其实有否一点喜欢我
(才会每天这么想知你)
为何始终不太清楚
(其实心里有没有我)
谭咏麟 - 朋友
Sing this at Karoke with friends. This song is considered a classic, evergreen, ageless among chinese songs.
曲：芹泽广明 词：向雪怀
繁星流动 和你同路
从不相识 开始心接近
默默以真挚待人
人生如梦 朋友如雾
难得知心 几经风暴
为着我不退半步 正是你
遥遥晚空点点星光息息相关
你我那怕荆棘铺满路
替我解开心中的孤单
是谁明白我
情同两手一起开心一起悲伤
彼此分担不分我或你
你为了我 我为了你
共赴患难绝望里 紧握你手
朋友
曲：芹泽广明 词：向雪怀
繁星流动 和你同路
从不相识 开始心接近
默默以真挚待人
人生如梦 朋友如雾
难得知心 几经风暴
为着我不退半步 正是你
遥遥晚空点点星光息息相关
你我那怕荆棘铺满路
替我解开心中的孤单
是谁明白我
情同两手一起开心一起悲伤
彼此分担不分我或你
你为了我 我为了你
共赴患难绝望里 紧握你手
朋友
陈百强 - 偏偏喜欢你
Very old song, even the singer has passed on. Good music and song remains. Enjoyed this song since young. This is the first cantonese song that I learn to sing when I was very young. Very touching lyrics.
愁绪挥不去苦闷散不去
为何我心一片空虚
感情已失去一切都失去
满腔恨愁不可消除
为何你的嘴里总是那一句
为何我的心不会死
明白到爱失去一切都不对
我又为何偏偏喜欢你
＊爱已是负累相爱似受罪
心底如今满苦泪
旧日情如醉此际怕再追
偏偏痴心想见你
＃为何我心分秒想着过去
为何你一点都不记起
情义已失去恩爱都失去
我却为何偏偏喜欢你
重唱 ＊,＃
情义已失去恩爱都失去
我却为何偏偏喜欢你
愁绪挥不去苦闷散不去
为何我心一片空虚
感情已失去一切都失去
满腔恨愁不可消除
为何你的嘴里总是那一句
为何我的心不会死
明白到爱失去一切都不对
我又为何偏偏喜欢你
＊爱已是负累相爱似受罪
心底如今满苦泪
旧日情如醉此际怕再追
偏偏痴心想见你
＃为何我心分秒想着过去
为何你一点都不记起
情义已失去恩爱都失去
我却为何偏偏喜欢你
重唱 ＊,＃
情义已失去恩爱都失去
我却为何偏偏喜欢你
幸福的臉
幸福有沒有在我身邊? 怎麼一直看不見
幸福有沒有在你那邊? 讓我看看它的臉
家裡已經找了好多遍，只有溫暖的房間
爸爸說幸福就在鏡子裡，那就是我快樂的臉
老師說如果慾望能夠少一點，快樂就會多一些
愛惜地球給我們的資源 隨時記在心裡面
我用善良禮貌的雙眼 發現大家幸福的臉
感謝

知足是幸福

多少人在今天見不到明天的太陽，
多少人在今天已成了殘疾。
多少人在今天要面對饑荒，
多少人在今天已失去了家。
還活著是種幸福，有健康是份禮物。
飽暖時要懂知足，有家歸應感滿足。
要知足才會幸福，會隨緣路更好走。
順境時不起貪念，逆境時不起憎恚。
多少人在今天見不到明天的太陽，
多少人在今天已成了殘疾。
多少人在今天要面對饑荒，
多少人在今天已失去了家。
人生本來就是苦，不知足只會增加痛苦。
最後總會發現，原來平凡就是幸福。
還活著是種幸福，有健康是份禮物。
飽暖時要懂知足，有家歸應感滿足。
要知足才會幸福，會隨緣路更好走。
果報現隨遇而安，種善果念彌陀。
知足就是幸福。
生气时，听一听
生氣就是拿別人的錯誤來處罰自己~~靜思語
生气时 让时间停一停
不要讓他人的錯醜化了自己
想一想 生氣的時候
受傷的不只是他人 也傷害了自己
如果你 靜一靜 觀照你內心
他人的惡語 或許是自己 惡念的顯現
就把它 掏出來 讓它遠離自己
心中存感激 是因為菩薩教你 內心更堅強 ~~~~
不怕 不要愁
反而當下沉默想一想
去愛他 祝福他
願他遠離生氣的煩惱
生气时 让时间停一停
