++++++

最近, 除了看一些平时看得‘闲书’。也在看一些dale Carnegie, Stephen Covey 的书。老哥极力推荐, 大概看不惯我对自己的人生‘不知所谓’吧-) . 不是想成为什么了不起的企业人才。 只想学习怎样有balanced, positive 的人生态度。。 我比较小的时候, 就已经有一位‘高人’和我说过‘没有人有义务让你快乐’。。 所以每一个人都应该, 自己去寻找, 去学习,去领悟, 让自己感觉幸福快乐的方式。。

其实这之前, 我是那种很抗拒这种类型的励志的teaching 的。虽然我其实没有参加过任何一种。 所以做人千万不能先入为主的。。看了一些, 我觉得真的有看远远好过没看, 真的是一些‘好料’来的。为什么我会'Buy' 他们的teaching.. i think, because i believe in their values. These are some intrinsic teaching and value from Covey and Carnegie, there are much more out there, these are simply some that really bought me over....

Covey's
- Never Compromise with honesty
- remember the people involved
- hear both side before judging
- be sincere yet decisive
- maintain a positive attiude
- keep a sense of humor
- do not fear mistakes- fear only the absense of creative, constructive, and corrective responses to those mistakes
- listen twice as much as you speak, etc

Carnegie's
- Smile
- be genuinely interested in others people
- give honest and sincere opinion
- dun fuss about trifles
- give the other person fine reputation to live up to
- Talk about your own mistakes before criticising other people's , etc

So, what they teach, are instead how to become a better person , a balanced and happier person, thus a 'successful' person...

上路。。。

三月十八,凌晨12。30 . 我忽然决定开始要阅读Jack Kerouac 的on the road. 书,已经买了一阵子,就搁在书架上积尘。总是觉得,每一样东西,好像都在等待the right moment..to be settle in our life..

今天,就开始吧。。 开始上路。。。

On the road 写于半个世纪前- 1951 年。 其实之前,总是从不同的人,书,或网站里听或看到这本书的名字。。 好像是‘青春的悼念诗’的文体。 直觉上,是我会喜欢的书。。。 Kerouce 用了三个月的时间, 纪录了他和友人几年来横跨美国大陆的旅程。。。细节要看了才说,不过大略看了几个paragraph, 我想我会喜欢的,因为,there is a sense of 'honesty' in the sentences...

'Honesty' between words, 该怎么形容呢,就是‘坦诚’吧,反正就是一种感觉,这就是我,衡量文字的价值标准, 当然,我必须说这个标准绝对是非常个人, 也可能非常不理性的。如果可能,我都会尽量看原文的(当然,这也是只能发生在英文本,如果日文了得,我就可以更贴近村上春树了!), 因为很多文章的‘sense of honesty' 我觉得都会'lost in translation' 除非译者真的很厉害, 而且他们必须是一开始就recognise or appreciate the honesty of the words...

我买的这个版本的‘导读’/ introduction, 竟然洋洋洒洒有一百面!!也太认真了吧!
