3-2-1: The last 30 days of the year, the power of thoughts, and certainty

3 Ideas From Me

I.
"Some things are a job, others are a craft. The primary difference is not the task, but the enthusiasm and curiosity put into the task. The more engaged and interested you are, the more it becomes a craft."

工作(job)與藝術(craft)的差別，並不是那件事(task)的本身，而是你投入多少熱情與好奇心在那件任務上。

最近工作有點倦怠感，是否我太把那些tasks當成jobs ?! 忘了多看兩眼，多想想，用不同的角度來詮釋這個工作?! 😶‍🌫️ 還是我的創意奇想，被教條式的規矩勒死 ?!大公司工作，總是一堆規矩與雜事，然而這些雜事卻無助於工作的推進，反而增加工作進展的摩擦力，美其名管理，實則是公務員思維的明哲保身。 扯遠了~ 看來我最近對工作真的倦怠了! 哈哈哈。不是工作累，而是心累!

​II.
"It only takes five minutes to break the cycle.
Five minutes of exercise and you are back on the path. Five minutes of writing and the manuscript is moving forward again. Five minutes of conversation and the relationship is restored.
It doesn't take much to feel good again."

我不是一個喜歡跑步的人，尤其是很久沒跑之後又再次跑，剛開始的那幾分鐘確實是難過，往往只要撐過那幾分鐘，後面就覺得還好。

很多事也是類似的道理，像是微習慣，就是出自這種哲理，先動起來，身體啟動起來後，慣性就可以幫你加速。

III.
"Nobody accomplishes anything significant alone.
But nobody accomplishes anything significant by accident either. Just because you need others doesn't mean you can wait for others to make it happen.
You have to act as if you are a force of nature and try to bend the universe in your desired direction—while remaining pleasant and open to help along the way."

沒人可以獨自成就大事，也沒人可以靠偶然成就大事! 但這不應成為你在原地等待夥伴的藉口。

想要甚麼，就應該盡全力把世界往那個方向帶，同時，也得保持開放態度，隨時歡迎別人的參與與協助。

長輩智慧語錄：

別怕讓別人賺，一起賺才做得大!

2 Quotes From Others

I.
Journalist Hal Boyle on certainty:
​
"What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn’t have any doubt—it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn’t want to go anywhere else."

Source: Help, Help! Another Day! (Hat tip to Jamie McKinnon)

大河的表面在人眼中看來平靜，是因為大河永遠知道他要流向大海，沒有任何遲疑或懷疑下，自然看起來平靜。

一個人的篤定，決定他的心態的穩定

​II.
Writer and suffragist Lucy Mallory on the power of thoughts:
"Every thought a person dwells upon, whether he expresses it or not, either damages or improves his life."

Source: As quoted in A Calendar for Wisdom​

​人沉思的事情，不管是否有表達出來，都會損傷或者是改善生活。

佛家講「願力，念力！」你的願有多大，實踐的力量就有多大。

要仔細關注自己所想，因為在不知不覺中，就會被你所思所想而影響。回過頭來檢視我一開頭講的工作倦怠，是否我也想了甚麼呢？

好無聊~~~ 好煩~~~ 狗屁拉~~~~

似乎這些念頭在工作時閃過，看來得要觀察並遠離這些念頭才行!

1 Question For You

There is one month left in the year. Most people are ready to coast to the finish line, but one good month can make the whole year feel like a success.
What can you do in the next 30 days to build momentum and finish the year on a high note?

剩下最後不到30天，2022就要過去，年初我曾堅持一段時間每日晨讀，這個習慣卻在不知不覺中被每日早上看手機訊息給取代了! 我也曾堅持每周輸出一篇，但也在不知不覺中被資訊囤積症給取代了!

剩下不到30天，從回覆每日晨讀開始吧! 並且每周思考一個問題，把思考結果輸出!

由於matters不適合發簡短的訊息，所以我會把 #每日晨讀 #每周思考 先放到https://liker.social/@mactone，等周末再整理輸出! 就從下周一開始吧👍
