3 Ideas From Me

I.
"Define yourself by your effort, not your suffering."

用你的努力來定義自己，而不是你的痛苦。

的確，沒有努力付出過的人生，就別嫌棄它食之無味棄之可惜!

正如我常跟小孩說的，真的努力過後才能說：台大不是我的菜 😏

​II.
"Marrying well makes everything easier."

嫁得好讓一切變得更容易。

男怕入錯行、女怕嫁錯郎。

III.
"Charity can be a lifestyle, not merely a gift.
Read charitably. Give the author your most favorable interpretation.
Listen charitably. Donate your undivided attention.
Work charitably. Be generous with your expertise.
In this way, you make charity a daily habit."

慈善可以是一種生活方式，而不僅僅是一種禮物。
慈善地閱讀。給作者你最好的解釋。
慈善地傾聽。獻出你全神貫注的注意力。
慈善地工作。慷慨地運用你的專業知識。
通過這種方式，讓慈善成為一種日常習慣。

感謝您慈善地給予拍手鼓勵，也感謝您慈善的留言。😁😁😁😁😁

2 Quotes From Others

I.
Mathematician Paul Halmos on what distinguishes the best from the rest:
"I read once that the true mark of a pro — at anything — is that he understands, loves, and is good at even the drudgery of his profession."

Source: I Want to be a Mathematician

數學家保羅·哈爾莫斯（Paul Halmos）用甚麼來區分"最好"與"其他的"： “我曾經讀到，任一種事情的職業選手的真正標誌，儘管是自己事業中的苦差事，他仍然理解、熱愛，並擅長。“

​理解、熱愛、擅長於自己事業中，這我可以理解。但就連事業中的苦差事也甘之如飴，這就是我與專家間的距離啊!

​II.
Writer Doris Lessing on how to choose what to read:
"There is only one way to read, which is to browse in libraries and bookshops, picking up books that attract you, reading only those, dropping them when they bore you, skipping the parts that drag – and never, never reading anything because you feel you ought, or because it is part of a trend or a movement. Remember that the book which bores you when you are twenty or thirty will open doors for you when you are forty or fifty-and vise versa. Don’t read a book out of its right time for you."

作家 Doris Lessing 關於如何選擇閱讀內容：

“只有一種閱讀方式，那就是在圖書館和書店瀏覽，挑選吸引你的書，只閱讀那些書，當它們讓你厭煩時就放下它們，跳過那些拖泥帶水的部分——永遠，永遠不要因為你閱讀任何你覺得你應該讀的書，或者只因為它是趨勢或潮流而閱讀。記住，在你二十或三十歲時讓你感到厭煩的書，會在你四十或五十歲時為你打開大門，反之亦然。不要閱讀不適合你年紀的書。”

書，比喻成精神食糧，就像吃東西一樣，隨著年紀的改變，口味也會隨之而變，因此讀的書籍也會隨年紀有所改變。挑選吸引你的東西，總是比較容易入口(腦)的，換句話說，學習也比較快。 只是，要注意，別讓大腦吃太多甜食(沒營養但好吃的東西)，這樣大腦也會營養不良而縮水(變笨)。

1 Question For You

Nearly everything in life has a useful zone, a desired dose. Ten minutes in the sun can energize you. Ten hours in the sun can burn you. This concept applies to many things: work, relationships, hobbies, exercise, food.

What is your desired dose? What do you need right now? A little bit more or a little bit less?

生活中幾乎所有事物都有一個有用的區域，一個理想的劑量。在陽光下曬十分鐘可以讓你精力充沛。在陽光下曬十小時會灼傷你。這個概念適用於很多事情：工作、人際關係、愛好、鍛煉、食物。

你想要的劑量是多少？你現在需要什麼？多一點還是少一點？

正常的大氣氧氣濃度是21%，氧氣太多也會中毒，就像喝水一樣，水喝太多也是會中毒。任何事物都有其適合的範圍，過與不及都會有不好的效果。
