勇敢去敲未知的門

2010-09-15T16:35:00.008+08:00

1. 做一個值得長期投資的保值品
希望被大家認識，建立自己的「品牌」與「聲譽」最要緊，這些看似無形的資產，其實是非常重要的價值鏈。

2. 日日是好日
日日是「好日」或是「歹日」，只在一念之間。想成功，就必須正面看待生命中的各種挑戰，當作最佳的學習機會。

3. 唸不唸MBA？不重要！
重點不在於你有沒有「唸一個學位」，而是你的學習態度與吸收能力。
掌握有效的學習方法是關鍵，而學習是無所不在的。

4. 做「大聲牛」，說出你的不同
如今是人才濟濟的時代，如果你不主動凸顯自己的優點，老闆怎麼知道你的本事？用你和用別人有什麼不一樣？
態度不囂張，行動有熱情。

5. 彎腰，是必要的
千萬不能自以為「老大」什麼都懂，其實是什麼都不懂。
放低身段虛心努力。

6. 擁抱過去，勝於緬懷過去
企業看的是前景，換新老闆的目的，就是期待新的氣象與作為。身為組織裡的舊人，需要調整心態，接受新的價值與做法。
以誠待人，換來心服與口服。

7. 藍海來自核心專長
創新並非從空而降，必須根據既有的基礎，先找出自己喜歡做的事與核心專長，再發揚光大，因為那才是最具競爭力的部分。

8. 工作不是永恆的天堂
預防被「勒」掉，平時一定要懂得居安思危，最好還能有第二專長，和外面保持接觸，累積各種人脈關係與能見度。
一個人效忠的不是某個企業或是老闆，而是自己的專業。

9. 積極樂觀，總能東山再起
絕不讓自己掉進什麼事也不想做的深淵，始終正面肯定自己過去的成就，那是一個人自信的來源，也是重新出發的本錢。

10. 爭取加薪前，先替自己加值
老闆決定要提拔某個員工的時候，不管是升遷或是加薪，一定是先考慮自己（公司）的需求，而不是員工的需求。
爭取加薪一定要心平氣和，可以試著誠懇的問老闆，如何做，才能加薪。

11. 帶人要帶心
身為組織領導人，絕不能高高在上，而是要讓部屬感受到你是和他們站在同一陣線上。當你珍惜他們，他們也會反過頭來回報你。

12. 好公司勝過好主管
一個好公司值得下注投資，為了保住工作，委曲求全、忍受壞主管，可說是另一種必要之惡。
壞主管並不是你生命的全部，可以把壞主管當成考驗你的「試煉」。

13. 你是Boss-Hater嗎？
老闆能爬到今天的位置，表示他有某些長處，在某些方面的能力超越你，你應該去學習、品嚐，而不是抱怨。
學會欣賞老闆的優點。

14. 跟著內心直覺前進
生命短暫，不要浪費時間活在別人的陰影裡，也不要盲目跟隨教條，讓別人的噪音壓過自己的聲音。
人生有時就像被磚頭砸到，但不要失去信心。最重要的，一定要找到自己的熱愛，並且要有勇氣跟著自己內心的直覺，自始自終相信它。

15. 價值觀可以很多元
自我提升不一定是繼續往上爬，橫向發展第二專長也是一種能力的拓展，幫助自己發掘潛能，打開更寬廣的領域。

16. 投向「底特律」的懷抱
確實弄清楚你到底是為了誰而做工作。否則，到了某個時間點，你的「底特律」肯定會在那邊大聲地呼喚你。
「底特律」指的是興趣，它並非絕對天生，而是可以靠後天培養，邊做邊找出真正的興趣。
為自己的興趣工作。

17. 蹲下去，是為了跳得更遠
當一個人蹲下去的時候，別人或許以為他矮了一截，但其實他是為了跳得更遠！
用規模換取視野。

18. 發牢騷，只有自己最受傷
要掙脫牢騷族，就必須學習「正面思考」，遇到挫折先想辦法轉移注意力，把思考焦點集中在解決方案，找出如何做，才是對自己最有利。
負面情緒只有殺傷力，正面思考才有力量。

19. 天塌下來，主管要能頂著
做主管的確要有擔當、有肩膀，即使是手下員工出了差錯，你也要一肩扛下，而不是推諉搪塞。

20. 想想老闆為什麼發脾氣
若是老闆罵你，你要仔細去推敲背後到底是什麼意思，揣摩他的心態。
員工和老闆相處是一門藝術，儘量多溝通，只談事實，不夾雜情緒。

21. 品德至上
一個人在職場上要非常敬業、專業，這已是基本配備，品德操守才是真正的「首要之務」。
「道德」與「誠信」是日積月累的資產，重要性絕對超過個人專業素養。

22. 成功為成功之母
能幫助自己打開成功之門的，除了專業能力，人際關係的「軟性技巧」，經常能夠發生意想不到的效果。
想辦法讓他人更成功，今日你助人一臂之力，他日別人就會投桃報李。
「人」不是萬能，沒有「人」萬萬不能。

23. 老闆永遠是貴人
七分努力，三分機運，有了貴人提攜，不僅能縮短成功的時間，還能壯大自己的籌碼。

24. 公正、透明，才有心悅誠服
處理辦公室政治的過程，維持公正與透明，組織上下彼此建立信任，就可以將衝擊減至最低程度。
落實公平程序的三E原則：參與（Engagement）、解釋（Explanation）、與期望透明化（Clarity of Expectation）。

25. 把老闆當客戶
把老闆也當成客戶，學習如何管理他、歷練他、適應他、欣賞他，很多問題便可以迎刃而解。
不和老闆正面衝突，別人不贊同你的想法，並不表示別人就是墮落。

26. 和全世界競爭
你的競爭對手，不是坐在隔壁的人，也不是同業，而是一個遠在天邊的陌生人。
世界是平的，不進步，就被淘汰。

27. 世界被抹平，挑戰隨之而來
全球化已是不可避免的趨勢，新一代工作人面臨的跳戰是，工作環境不只限於一個國家地區，競爭對手也來自四面八方。
設法成為「碰不得的人」---工作不能外包的人。
「碰不得的人」分為四類：太特殊、太專業、太深耕、太會調適，才能讓人碰不得。
世界真的是平的！

0～12歲兒童理財教育 (下)

2009-05-09T21:49:00.004+08:00

5～8歲

應讓孩子知道錢不是憑空而來的

　　5～8歲仍是建立安全感及自主性的時期，此時父母最須做的就是順著孩子的自主性幫他建立規範，讓他學會面對結果、處理結果的負責任表現。

　　然而，現實社會的制式規範，卻可能扼殺孩子的自主性，在此呼籲學校訂定任何規範都應有彈性，讓孩子能心服口服，且孩子的個別狀況要被尊重，不能只用一條規則就管理所有孩子。

　　這個年齡層的兒童已經能認知「錢」的價值，此時父母最重要的是須讓孩子知道：「錢不是憑空而來，是要努力工作才能賺錢」的觀念。父母能給小孩零用錢，是因為父母工作賺錢才有錢，讓他們知道，未來是要回饋父母的。

　　值得注意的是，父母在教養小孩時，千萬不要採「家事有給制」，也就是應由全家人一起分擔的家事，不該以金錢來作為要求小孩做家事的交換條件；學業成就也不該以金錢獎賞，例如考100分給多少錢，以免扭曲小孩對金錢的偏差觀念。

　　父母應該啟發小孩「要工作才能賺錢」的觀念，例如簡單的打工、幫家裡顧店等能產生利潤的付出，才能賺錢。

　　和孩子談論每個人的工作獲得金錢的意義不同，例如學校煮飯的阿姨每小時工資90元，當老師的媽媽每小時工資260元，當醫生每個病人診療費收250元，假設1小時可看12個病人，那每小時工資是3000元，在聊天中讓孩子了解每個人因專業訓練不同，賺的錢不一樣，藉此激勵孩子向上發展的概念。

8～12歲

應讓兒童思考未來生涯規畫

　　8～12歲時期的兒童開始發展理性、邏輯、思考的認知能力，生活經驗更加豐富，是最適合教小孩生活上和金錢有關的事情。

　　在不造成孩子負擔的情況下，父母此時可以讓孩子認識存摺，養成儲蓄習慣，概念性地向孩子介紹理財的基本觀念。

　　不過，要教孩子理財，父母本身先要有正確的理財觀念。其實在孩子5～12歲期間，父母就是子女最好的理財教師，因為理財本身就是一種價值體系，父母透過本身的日常生活行為，即已展示了自己的價值體系，無形中向孩子介紹自己的理財及消費態度，因此，這也是子女最易模仿父母行為、潛移默化的關鍵時期。

　　在8～12歲時期，父母對孩子進行理財教育時，最重要的是要引導兒童思考未來的生涯規畫，也就是讓小孩認知：如果能善用自己的天賦，未來在社會上具有競爭力，就能擁有更多的錢財，這就是積極的理財行為。

　　尤其父母要特別注意，千萬別將小孩引導到「以錢賺錢」的錯誤方向。我們常看到的「兒童理財營」，往往太偏重於教小孩用錢去賺錢，而不是發揮自己的所長、用技能去賺錢。

　　就教育觀念而言，對於正值國小及國中階段的孩子，父母應著重於建立孩子的人生目標及價值體系，也就是追求幸福。雖然所有的理財目標都是在追求人生幸福，但「有錢」並不見得和「人生目標」「人生價值」及「幸福」等劃上等號。

　　而且過度強調金錢的重要性，會貶抑孩子心靈的安全感，因為錢財只是孩子人生中需學會管理的一部分，並非全部。

　　一人文國小校長追求的三大教學目標，就是希望讓小孩做到喜歡自己、信任自己；尊重別人、欣賞別人；無窮的求知慾。

　　如此一來，孩子對自己安心、信任，在使用錢財時就會理性，不會因不安而亂花錢；且由於正確認同別人的價值行為，就不會形成「你不跟我好、我買東西送你，你要跟我好」這種用錢買友誼的不當消費行為。而無窮的求知慾養成後，為了賺錢，孩子就會主動想學賺錢的技能。

Honda City (Fall in love at first sight)

2009-04-29T21:28:00.014+08:00

I like this car from my first sight, two generation before are not "good looking" for me. But I will not own it yet, because money had spent in renovation of my Dream House. May be next time...

This Honda City is now in its third generation, and has been launched in countries such as Singapore, Thailand and India. In line with the global economic outlook as well as global fuel prices, manufacturers have been downsizing their cars and the new City makes a perfect compact sedan in the Honda line-up slotted in under the Civic for world markets. It is considered to be a world car now, as it has also been recently revealed that the City will also be sold in Europe.

Beautifully refined trimmings and finishing. The aerodynamic lines, clean contours and sleek leave me wanting to get into the car and cruise around town.

Advanced Audio

Music enthusiasts will be pleased to enjoy the advanced audio designed for digital media. Just connect your iPod, MP3 player or USB memory device. It also comes with equalizer modes that give you high-frequency compensation for superb sound clarity. A high-power 45W amplifier and optimally placed 6-channel speakers** match cabin acoustics for listening pleasure. All of these will leave you even more relaxed as there is also a covered audio rack for handy storage, which is also designed for anti-theft.

Triple Meter Cluster

For added vroom of Excitement in the City, the sporty design metallic meters with superior visibility provide the thrill of precision performance. Meanwhile, the speedometer displays a broad range of information including odometer, trip meter, and fuel consumption and range indication.

0～12歲兒童理財教育 (上)

2009-04-25T21:30:00.008+08:00

　近年銀行及財金單位舉辦的兒童理財營場場爆滿，突顯父母希望孩子理財也要贏在起跑點，或至少不要養出月光族小孩的心理。但很多人可能不知道，課程中有些主題卻是「信用卡好好用」，換言之，銀行業者已提前向小孩展開行銷。因此，把理財教育的重責大任全交給提供商品的銀行，你能夠放心嗎？

　　其實，父母才是影響小孩日後理財行為的最重要角色，因為兒童時期的人格發展，決定成人後的大部分行為。以下為兒童人格教育專家，從人格發展角度來看0～12歲兒童該給予的理財教育，提供父母@些教養建議。

理財教育應融入生活教育

以下是特別針對0～2歲、2～5歲、5～8歲、8～12歲等4個階段兒童人格發展，對未來理財行為影響的看法，以及對家有0～12歲小孩的父母教養建議。

0～2歲

應建立安全感，避免未來消費無節制

　　0～2歲嬰幼兒的認知主要是透過聽、看、吸吮、說話等感官，學習和外界接觸，這時期的兒童人格發展主要是安全感的建立，應該避免嬰幼兒產生和父母分離的焦慮。

　　尤其是0～2歲嬰幼兒主要是以哭聲作為引起照顧者注意的訊息，為了建立孩子的安全感，只要嬰幼兒一有哭聲，雖不見得要抱他，但父母應細心觀察孩子的哭聲所傳達的真正需求，是尿濕了要換尿布、肚子餓了想喝奶或是其他需求或病痛，認真看待嬰幼兒的每一次哭聲及每一個動作。

　　因為0～2歲的嬰幼兒時期人格發展能否建立安全感，是影響孩子一生理財及消費行為的最重要關鍵期。成人很多的過度消費行為，背後主因是極度缺乏安全感，很多購物狂即是因為這種早期人格發展偏差導致的後果，理性上明知道這樣過度消費不對，但內心就是不安，不斷透過消費行為建立人際關係，以尋求安全感。

　　因此，鼓勵父母其中一方最好在孩子2歲以前在家帶小孩。因為自己的小孩只有自己最關心，才能立即反應、並處理嬰幼兒哭聲所代表的問題。其實，安全感的建立是有延續性的，人的一生在15歲以前，都很需要父母認真對待其需求，父母在這方面做得愈早、愈好，孩子未來在錢財的使用上將會是理性的，不會因為不安而亂花錢。

2～5歲

應培養自我管控能力、避免廣告誘惑

2～5歲兒童已進入認知符號、建立自主性時期，對外界的探索能力加強，這個階段的兒童仍須在父母、師長陪伴下產生安全感，父母應提供豐富的環境，幫助他對外探索能力，並獲得成就感的滿足，而不是什麼事都幫他做好。例如父母應提早準備出門，以等待孩子自己慢慢綁鞋帶，而不是父母因趕著出門急忙替小孩綁好鞋帶。
　

　2～5歲兒童因獨立自主、探索外在的體驗，所形成的成長智慧，將會在人格發展上轉化為自我管理、管控的基本能力，將來不易受到外界刺激以及廣告誘惑，對於「錢是要被管理」的概念也會因此萌芽。
　　

在《EQ》這本書中也提到有關4、5歲孩童的分組實驗：一組是寧願立刻拿到、但只有一顆糖果；另一組是願意等一下，之後可拿二顆糖果。結果願意等待、以拿更多糖果的這一組孩童，經追蹤結果，不管是後來的學業、人際關係都比較好。
　

　因此，2～5歲孩童如能有效建立獨立自主性，減少對父母的依賴，會強化自我管控能力，長大後也比較不會產生偏差的消費方式及不當的理財行為。

生命 ?

2009-04-23T21:44:00.004+08:00

生命不是用來尋找答案

也不是用來解決問題的

它是用來愉快的過生活

「能解決的事，不必去擔心；

不能解決的事，擔心也沒用。」

人生就如一張有去無回單程車票

他沒有彩排﹐每一刻都是現場直播﹗

把握每一次的演出﹐便是最好的珍惜﹐

活得精採。

給所有的朋友

2009-04-18T18:57:00.004+08:00

當大部分人都在關注你飛得高不高時，只有少部分人關心你飛得累不累，這就是友情。

再忙也要照顧好自己，朋友雖不常聯繫卻一直惦念。

少喝奶茶、不吃剛烤好的麵包，遠離充電電源。

白天多喝水，晚上少喝，一天不喝多於兩杯咖啡。

少吃油多的食物，最佳睡眠為晚上十點至早上六點。

晚上五點後少吃大餐，每天喝酒不超過一杯。

不用冷水服膠囊，睡前半小時服藥忌立刻躺下。

睡眠不足八小時人會變笨，有午睡習慣的人不易老。

手機電池剩一格時不要打電話，剩一格時輻射是平時的一千倍。

還要記得用左耳接電話，用右耳會直接傷害到大腦。

一個中心：一切以健康為中心。

兩個基本點：遇事瀟灑一點，看世糊塗一點。

三個忘記：忘記年齡，忘記過去，忘記恩怨。

四個擁有：
無論你有多弱或多強，
一定要擁有真正愛你的人，
擁有知心朋友，
擁有向上的事業，
擁有溫暖的住所。

五個要：
要唱，
要跳，
要俏，
要笑，
要苗條。

六個不能：
不能餓了才吃，
不能渴了才喝，
不能困了才睡，
不能累了才歇，
不能病了才檢查，
不能老了再後悔！

你明白祖先定十二生肖的含意嗎？

2009-04-15T20:55:00.003+08:00

關於榮辱觀的小故事十二生肖

有一次，我有機會和歐洲貴族聚餐。可能酒喝多了，一位德國貴族站了起來，諷刺說：' 你們中國人都是屬什麼豬啊！狗啊！老鼠啊！不像我們，都是金牛座、獅子座、仙女座 ……真不知道你們祖先怎麼想的？' 當時這些貴族聽完哈哈大笑，還互相碰杯，先前的優雅完全不見了。按理說，人家在罵你祖宗了，你即使沒有話說，起碼可以掀桌子啊！但所有人都坐著不吭聲，也可能是還沒反應過來，我當時只好平和地告訴在場所有外賓： '中國人的祖先是很實在的，我們十二生肖兩兩! 相對，六道輪迴，體現了我們祖先對中國人全部的期望跟要求。' 這時，現場氣氛雖然從嬉鬧轉為安靜，但是他們臉上還是一副不屑的樣子。

我說： ' 第一組是老鼠和牛。老鼠代表智慧，牛代表勤奮。智慧和勤奮一定要緊緊結合在一起。如果光有智慧不勤奮，那就變成小聰明；而光是勤奮，不動腦筋，那就變成愚蠢。所以這兩者一定要結合，這是我們祖先對中國人的第一組期望和要求，也是最重要的一組。

''第二組是老虎和兔子。老虎代表勇猛，兔子代表謹慎。勇猛和謹慎一定要緊緊結合在一起，才能做到所謂的膽大心細。如果勇猛離開了謹慎，就變成了魯莽，而你沒有勇猛，一味的謹慎，謹慎就變成膽怯。'我看著這些貴族，補上一句：'所以當我們表現出謹慎的時候，千萬不要以為我們中國人沒有勇猛的一面。 ' ' 實際上，我們祖先追求的是一種和諧的智慧和圓融，從來不會單獨給一個要求和任務。' 看著大家陷入沉思，我繼續往下說。

'第三組是龍和蛇。龍代表剛猛，蛇代表柔韌。所謂剛者易折，太剛了容易折斷，但是如果只有柔的一面，就易失去主見，所以剛柔並濟是我們歷代的祖訓。

接下來是馬和羊。馬代表勇往直前，直奔目標，羊代表和順。如果一個人只顧自己直奔目標，不顧周圍，必然會和周圍不斷磕碰，最後不見得能達到目標。但是一個人如果光顧著和周圍和順，之後他連方向都沒有了，目標也失去了。所以一往無前的秉性一定要與和順緊緊結合在一起，這是我們祖先對中國人的第四組期望。

再接下來是猴子和雞。猴子代表靈活，至於雞呢，以前的年代沒有鐘，都是聽雞鳴聲決定一天的開始，所以雞定時打鳴，代表穩定。靈活和穩定一定要緊緊結合起來。如果你光靈活，沒有穩定，再好的政策最後也得不到收穫。但如果說你光是穩定，一潭死水、一塊鐵板，那就不會有我們今天的改革開放了。只有它們之間非常圓融的結合，一方面具有穩定性，保持整體的和諧和秩序，另一方面又能不斷變通地前進，這才是最根本的要旨。

最後是狗和豬。狗是代表忠誠，豬是代表隨和。一個人如果太忠誠，不懂得隨和，就會排斥他人。而反過來，一個人太隨和，沒有忠誠，這個人就失去原則。所以無論是對一個民族國家的忠誠、對團隊的忠誠，還是自己理想的忠誠，一定要與隨和緊緊結合在一起，這樣才容易真正保持內心深處的忠誠。這就是我們中國人一直堅持的外圓內方，君子和而不同。

中國人每個人都有屬於自己的生肖，有的人屬豬，有的人屬狗，這意義何在？實際上，我們的祖先期望我們要圓融，不能偏頗，要求我們懂得到對應面切入。比如屬豬的人能夠在他的隨和本性中，也去追求忠誠；而屬狗的人則在忠誠的本性中，去做到隨和。' 解釋完十二生肖，我說：' 不知道你們那些寶瓶座啊、射手座啊、公羊座啊，體現了你們祖先哪些期望和要求？希望不吝賜教。 '結果呢，這些貴族老爺們很長時間都沒說話，全場鴉雀無聲，一根針掉在地上都能聽見。最後貴族們紛紛由衷地表示對中國人和中國人的祖先非常敬佩!

Motorcycle Test Drive (Evaluation)

2009-04-04T17:06:00.013+08:00

Yesterday 3/4/09 (Fri), around morning 10.20am, I'm going to our company's safety driving school for motorcycle test drive or evaluation. This test drive only for company management level employee only. I’m so excited because can test few model of motorcycle that I never drive before including new scooter bike. This evaluation is between our product (motorcycle) & competitors.

For safety purpose, we need to wear helmet, cotton glove & long sleeve which are necessary. These test evaluations have 3 sections that is stability, Noise & Vibration and Appearance. Stability including starting, idling, snapping, crusing, acceleration, constant speed, turning etc. Noise & Vibration is about handle, seat, step bar/floor & engine noise. Than Appearance is about paint work quality, sticker quality etc. After around 1 hr test, I’m starting giving the mark/point. The result how? Sorry, it’s confidential for public publish! But if you want to know which model best, ask me personally. I will love to share with you all.

This is locker provide to keep our personal “thing”. But I don’t bring must “thing” there, don’t need one…

Guess what is this? I found it in the wall of store room. It’s a radio! Although the sound a bit rough. It’s very special, like antiques that only can be found in bar.

This 70cc old motorcycle also an antique. My father has 1 before, but sold 10 years ago. Haha! This bike ready “tahan lasak” can live until now. Of course the owner say mahu “jaga”lah! The owner say have another one lagi, lagi old punya ar. But sorry, cannot nampak now lol.

Because of confidential issue, I can’t write must here. That’s all for this evaluation test, see ya!

只要一塊錢，世界會改變

2009-04-02T19:31:00.003+08:00

教導孩子金錢觀念，不是數學題，是經濟學課題，不是常常把「爸爸媽媽賺錢很辛苦」掛在口邊，是要讓孩子思考金錢的價值。

話說大熊阿比和鱷魚阿寶是鄰居，兩個都是廚房高手，阿比擅長做披薩，阿寶拿手做蛋糕，他們經常分享美食，有說有笑。一天，世界首富老鼠朱富比坐豪華房車經過，偵測到阿寶的蛋糕的香氣，派大塊頭獅子司機來買，阿寶賺到了他一生第一塊金幣。阿比看到阿寶的蛋糕能賣錢，馬上決定做多點披薩上街賣。他想：「一塊披薩切八片，一片披薩一塊錢，一天賣個八十片，一年有三百六十五天，有一天，我也會像朱富比那樣有錢。」

阿比推著載滿披薩的手推車到大路口擺檔，誰知阿寶也在那裏，賣蛋糕。幾小時過去了，一個客人也沒有，阿比和阿寶都餓得慌，阿比請求阿寶給他一塊蛋糕，阿寶反問他為何不吃自己的披薩，阿比說披薩留來賣，阿寶馬上說，他的蛋糕也是要賣的，沒錢不能給。最後阿寶實在忍不住肚餓，他把從朱富比處賺來的一塊錢給了阿比，買了一片披薩，拚命大嚼，阿比看見他吃，也忍不住了，把那塊錢交回阿寶，換一塊蛋糕吃，結果你跟我買披薩，我跟你買蛋糕，兩個人的食物都賣光了，兩個人都吃飽了，又做回好朋友。

這時候，烏鴉來買東西吃，聽見披薩和蛋糕都賣完了，便嚷著明天再來，請阿比阿寶一定留一塊給他，烏鴉還把朋友都叫來，光顧這兩個生意奇佳的食檔。阿比阿寶從此天天賣披薩和蛋糕，還吸引了大批動物來擺擋，賣各式各樣吃的東西，那裏成了一個市集。

「方的會變圓，長的會變扁，只要一塊錢，世界會改變」。

Rich Dad, Poor Dad

FINANCIAL LITERACY = FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

A true tale of two dads— one a highly educated professor, the other, an eighth grade dropout. Educated dad left his family with nothing, except maybe some unpaid bills. The dropout later became one of Hawaii’s richest men and left his son an empire. One dad would say, “I can’t afford it” while the other, asked, “How can I afford it?”Rich dad teaches two boys priceless lessons on money, by making them learn through experience. The most important lesson of all is How to Use Your Mind and Time to create personal wealth. Free yourself from the proverbial “rat race”. Learn to spot opportunities, create solutions and “mind your own business”. Learn to make money work for you, and not be its slave.

Rich Dad’s Words of Wisdom:

* You are what you Think.
* A job is a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
* A highly paid slave is still a slave.
* Why climb the corporate ladder when you can own the ladder?

Good Thinking:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.Robert Frost, from ‘The Road Not Taken’

verview

There is a Need. The rationale for teaching people financial literacy comes from the fact there is no real job security these days. Even after years of toil, the poor and middle class may find they do not have sufficient funds for their children’s college education, or their own retirement. Why work for acorporation, the government, and the bank all your life? Awaken your financial genius and gain financial independence and freedom!

Lesson 1: The Rich Don’t Work For Money

At age 9, Robert Kiyosaki and his best friend Mike asked Mike’s father (Rich Dad) to teach them how to make money. After 3 weeks of dusting cans in one of Rich Dad’s convenience stores at 10 cents a week, Kiyosaki was ready to quit. Rich Dad pointed out this is exactly what his employees sounded like. Some people quit a job because it doesn’t pay well. Others see it as an opportunity to learn something new.

WORK TO LEARN

Next Rich Dad put the two boys to work, this time for nothing. Doing this forced them to think up a source of income, a business scheme. The opportunity came to them upon noticing discarded comic books in the store. The first business plan was hatched. The boys opened a comic book library and employed Mike’s sister at 1$ a week to mind it. Soon they were earning $9.50 a week without having to physically run the library, while kids read as much comics as they could in twohours after school for only a few cents.

Lesson 2: Why Teach Financial Literacy?

They don’t teach this at school. The growing gap between rich and poor is rooted in the antiquated educational system. The system trains people to be good employees, and not employers. The obsolete school system also fails to provide young people with basic financial skills rich people use to grow their wealth.

Know your options and use this knowledge to build a formidable asset column. In an age of instant millionaires it really isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about how much you keep, and how many generations you can keep it.
Steps to get out of the proverbial rat race:1. First, understand the difference between an asset and a liability.

Assets

---------
Real Estate
Stocks

Bonds
Notes
Intellectual Property

Liabilities

--------------

Mortgages

Consumer Loans

Credit Cards

The poor have day-to-day expenses, the middle class purchase liabilities that they think are assets (i.e., a home or a car), and the rich build a solid base of income-generating assets.The middle class finds itself in a constant state of financial struggle. Their primary income is wages, as wages increase, so do their taxes. Expenses increase as wages increase. Hence the phrase “the rat race.” They treat their home as their primary asset instead of investing in incomegenerating assets.The rich get richer because they keep acquiring more assets and investments to generate more income, which far exceeds their expenses.

Reasons why the home is not an asset but a liability:

1. People work almost all their lives to pay off a home (30-year loans)

2. Maintenance and utilities expenses.

3. Property tax

4. House values can depreciate.

5. Instead of investing in income-earning assets, your money goes out topayments for the house.

Your losses:

1. Time that could have been used to grow value in other assets.

2. Capital which could have been invested rather than paying home-relatedexpenses

3. Education that makes you a Sophisticated investorIf you want to buy a house, first generate the cash flow by acquiringassets, which bring income to pay for it.

Examples of real assets are:

* Apartments for rent

* Real estate

* Businesses that do not require your physical presence. You hire managers.

Average time of holding on to an asset before selling it for a higher value:

1 year

* Stocks (Startups and small companies are good investments)

* Bonds

* Mutual funds

7 years

* Real estate

* Notes (IOUs)

* Royalties on intellectual property Valuables that produce income or appreciate

In summary, the key steps to getting out of the rat race are the ff:

1. Understand the difference between an asset and a liability.

2. Concentrate your efforts on buying income-earning assets.

3. Focus on keeping liabilities and expenses at a minimum.

4. Mind your own business.

Lesson 3: Mind Your Own Business

KEEP YOUR DAY JOB BUT START MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

Kiyosaki sold photocopiers on commission at Xerox. With his earnings he purchased real estate. In 3 years’ time his real estate income was far greater than his earnings at Xerox. He then left the company to mind his own business full time. He knew that in order to get out of the rat race fast, he needed to work harder, sell more copiers and mind his own business.Don’t spend all your wages. Build a good portfolio of assets and you can spend later when these assets bring you greater income.

Lesson 4: The History of Taxes and the Power of Corporations

Income tax has been levied on citizens in England since 1874. In the United States it was introduced in 1913. Since then what was initially a plan to tax only the rich eventually “trickled down” to the middle class and the poor. The rich have a secret weapon to shelter themselves from heavy taxation. It’s called the Corporation. It isn’t a building with the company name andlogo in brass signage out front. A corporation is simply a legal document in your attorney’s file cabinet duly registered under a government state agency. Corporations offer great tax advantages and protection from lawsuits. It’s the legal way to protect your wealth, and the rich have been using it for generations. Do your own research and find out what taxlaws will bring you the best advantages.

The Golden Rule: PAY YOURSELF FIRST.

Rich dad says paying yourself first forces you to create more sources of income to cover your expenses. It’s a simple rule that works like this:

The Rich with Corporations:
Earn -> Spend -> Pay Taxes

------------------------------------------------------

People who work for corporations:

Earn -> Pay Taxes -> Spend

Key Financial IQ Components:

It helps to take some courses to gain financial literacy; rich dad stressesthe importance of learning –

1. Accounting. It pays to know how to read financial statements. Whenacquiring businesses or assets you need to quickly see the financialstanding of the company you are acquiring. Many grown adults do notknow how to balance a balance sheet. In the long term, this knowledgewill pay off for you and your business.

2. Investment Strategy. This skill will sharpen with experience. Talk toinvestors and observe how they play the game. Kiyosaki and Mikespent many boyhood hours sitting in on Rich Dad’s meetings withbrokers, accountants, and attorneys.

3. Market Behavior. Know the laws of Supply and Demand. No businessowner can do without understanding these basic principles of themarket. Bill Gates saw what people needed. Open your eyes toopportunities. Look at what sells and who buys.

4. Law Kiyosaki recommends doing everything you can to grow yourbusiness within legal boundaries. Know your corporate, state, andaccounting laws.

Lesson 5: The Rich Invent Money

Self-confidence coupled with high financial IQ can certainly earn more for you than merely saving a little bit every month.Make good use of your time and find the best deals.An example: In the early 90’s the Phoenix economy was bad. Homes once valued at $100,000 sold for $75,000. Kiyosaki shopped at bankruptcy courts and bought the same houses at only $20,000. He resold these properties for $60,000 making a cool $40,000 profit. After six more transactions of the same manner he made a total $190,000 in profit and it only took 30 hours of work time. Rich Dad explains there are Two Types of Investors:

1. Buyers of Packaged Investments.This is when you call a retail outlet, real estate company, stockbrokeror financial planner and put your money in ready-made investments.It’s a simple, clean way of investing.

2. The Professional InvestorDesign your own investment. Assemble a deal and put togetherdifferent components of an opportunity. Rich dad encourages this type.You need to develop three main skills to be this type of investor, namely how to:

o Identify an opportunity everyone else has missed.

o Raise capital

o Organize smart people

Identify an opportunity everyone else has missed.

Learn to identify hidden Freebies in business deals. For example: The real business of McDonald’s isn’t hamburgers. It’s the free real estate underneath each franchise, on every important intersection, in cities all over the world that is the real wealth of its owners. THERE IS ALWAYS RISK. You need to learn how to manage risk and not avoid it.

Lesson 6: Work to Learn –Don’t Work for Money

The Author’s Odyssey

After college graduation Robert Kiyosaki joined the Marine Corps. He learned to fly for the love of it. He also learned to lead troops, an important part of management training. His next move was to join Xerox where he learned to overcome his fear of rejection. The thought of knocking on doors and selling copiers terrified him. Soon he was among the top 5 salespeople at the company. For a couple of years he was No.1. Having achieved his objective – overcominghis shyness and fear—he quit and began minding his own business. Learn skills like PR, marketing, and advertising. Take a second job if it means learning more.

A Difference in Education

Schools train professionals. Professionals become so specialized they cannot apply themselves in other fields and need to form unions to protect their jobs. Remember you can have a profession, say, learn to be a pilot if you want to learn how to fly, but at the same time mind your own business. The rich “groom” the next generation by training the heir in all aspects of running the business. They move him from department to department so he learns howeach one relates to the other. Specialization is not the key here, but picking up important lessons from each area and seeing the business as a whole.

Rich Dad groomed Kiyosaki and Mike in the same manner. Mike would later take over Rich Dad’s empire, which included restaurants, convenience stores, and a construction company. Kiyosaki created his own empire with real estate, new products and educational materials.

Five Obstacles to Financial Independence

1. Fear. Don’t play it safe and cling to what you think is secure. If you don’tgo for it and think big you won’t be able to earn big.

2. Cynicism. Don’t listen to advice of others who are not doing what you intendto do. Listen to your self and those who are doing what you aim to do.

3. Laziness. Greed is good and fights laziness. Think about the freedom and money you’ll have and you will put in those extra work hours. Change your thinking. Instead of saying “I can’t afford it.” Ask yourself “How can I afford it?” Challenge your mind to create solutions.

4. Bad Habits. Spending habits should turn into saving and investing habits.

5. Arrogance. Don’t think you know everything there is to know about money. Listen to others. Enroll in useful seminars.

Ten Steps to Awaken Your Financial Genius:

1. Find a reason greater than reality, a big dream. Think of the freedom,the lifestyle wherein you control your own time. Think of what you don’twant, i.e. “I don’t like being an employee”.

2. Use the power of choice, daily. You can choose to watch MTV, or watchCNBC. It’s how you choose to use your time and energy everyday thatbrings financial success in the long run.

3. Choose your friends carefully. It pays to have friends who are focusedand achieving their goals. Surround yourself with friends you can learnfrom.

4. Master a formula. Learn a new one, and learn fast.

5. Pay yourself first. Practice self-discipline by keeping expenses low.Tenants can pay for your expenses if you rent out apartments or ministorage,for instance. Savings are used for investing and creating moremoney, not for paying bills.

6. Pay your broker well. Attorneys, accountants, stockbrokers, and realestate brokers will have more incentive to work harder for you. If theymake more money, it means you make more money as well. 3-7% is agood incentive.

7. Be an Indian giver. It’s the concept behind ROI. (Return on investment)Invest and then take the initial money out after a time when the investmenthas earned for you.

8. Buy luxuries last. Let the income from your growing assets afford you thenew car. Wait for your asset base to grow first. Middle class people buyluxuries first, on credit.

9. Find yourself a hero. When you play golf you can imagine you are TigerWoods. When you do business, you can ask yourself, “What wouldGeorge Soros have done if he was in my place right now?”

10. Teach and you shall receive. As in money, love, or friendship. If you givewithout expecting anything in return, you receive more.

To-Do List

1. Stop what you’re doing. Take a step back to assess your situation. Stop doing what is not working and look for a new option.

2. Look for new ideas.

3. Take action. Find someone who has done what you want to do. Take them to lunch. Ask for tips.

4. Take classes and buy tapes.

5. Make lots of offers. Finding a good business deal is a lot like dating. You must go to the market and talk to a lot of people, make offers, counteroffers, negotiate, accept and reject. Many single people sit at home waiting for the phone to ring instead of going out and hitting the dating scene.

6. Take a walk through your neighborhood and look for bargain real estate deals.

7. Buy the pie and cut it into pieces. People buy only what they can afford so they think small. Think big. This goes for land and other investments.

8. Learn from history. Colonel Sanders lost everything in his 60’s and started from scratch with a fried chicken recipe. Bill Gates became rich before he was 30.

ACTION ALWAYS BEATS INACTION.

"IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING YOU CARE DEEPLY ABOUT AND IF YOU BELIEVE IN IT, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE NOT TRYING TO MAKE IT GREAT."

Who Moved My Cheese?

2009-03-31T22:31:00.007+08:00

Cheese is a metaphor for what you want to have in life – whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money, or spiritual peace of mind. Cheese is what we think will make us happy, and when circumstances take it away, different people deal with change in different ways. Four characters in this delightful parable represent parts of ourselves whenever we are confronted with change. Discover how you can let change work to your advantage and let it lead you to success!

The Maze
Four characters live in a maze and look for cheese to nourish them and make them happy. The maze is where you spend time looking for what you want. It may be the organization you work in, the relationships you have in your life, or the community you live in.

Parts of All of Us
Two of the characters named Sniff and Scurry are mice. They represent parts of us that are simple and instinctive. Hem and Haw are the little people, representing those complex parts of us as human beings. Sometimes we are like Sniff, who anticipates change early by sniffing it out, or Scurry, who quickly scurries into action and adapts. Maybe we are more like Hem, who denies change and resists it out of fear, or Haw, who learns to adapt in time when he sees something better. Whatever part of us we choose, we all share the common need to find our way in the maze of life and succeed in changing times.

Who Moved My Cheese?
Everyday Hem, Haw, Sniff, and Scurry went about their business collecting and eating cheese. Every morning, the mice and little men put on their jogging suits and running shoes, left their homes, and raced around the maze looking for their favorite Cheese.

They each found their own kind of cheese one day at the end of one of the corridors in Station PA-13. Every morning the mice and men headed over to Station PA-13 and soon they established their own routines.
Sniff and Scurry woke up early everyday, always following the same route. The mice would arrive at the station, tie their running shoes together, and hang them around their necks so they could get to them quickly whenever they needed to.

Hem and Haw followed the same routine for a while, but later on, they awoke a little later each day, dressed slower, and walked to Station PA-13, always assuming there would be Cheese waiting for them. In fact, the little people put away their running shoes, and grew very comfortable in Station PA-13. Later, this over-confidence turned into arrogance.

The mice, on the other hand, always inspected the area, and noticed the Cheese supply was getting smaller every day.

One morning they discovered there was no more cheese. The mice did not overanalyze things, they knew it was coming, so they simply untied their running shoes from their necks and put them on. The mice wasted no time and immediately ventured into the maze in search of New Cheese.
Hem and Haw arrived later, and having taken their Cheese for granted, they were surprised to find there was no more cheese. Hem yelled, “Who moved my Cheese?”

Because the Cheese was so important to them, the two little people spent too much time deciding what to do. They couldn’t believe the Cheese was gone.

After much whining, Haw suggested,
"MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST STOP ANALYZING THE SITUATION SO MUCH AND JUST GET GOING AND FIND SOME NEW CHEESE."

While Hem and Haw were wasting time fretting over their situation, Sniff and Scurry had already found a great supply of New Cheese at Station RP-5.

Haw began to imagine himself tasting and enjoying New Cheese. Hem refused to leave Station PA-13. Haw also began to realize his fear was keeping him from leaving Hem and going back into the maze. He painted a picture in his mind of himself venturing out into the maze and eventually finding New Cheese.

Haw was in the habit of writing thoughts on the wall for Hem to read. Before leaving he wrote, “If you do not change, you become extinct.” Haw would write thoughts like these every now and then as he went about the maze, hoping Hem would venture out of Station PA-13 and read the handwriting on the wall.

Haw found a little cheese here and there. As he moved through the maze, he learned several things for himself:
* He needed to let go of his fears.
* He realized what lies out there could be a lot better, not worse.
* He should be alert in order to anticipate change, and next time, periodically smell the cheese to check if it is getting old.
And to learn these important lessons he had to tell himself:
"GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE."

He found a station but it was empty. He realized that if he had moved sooner, he would have very likely found a good deal of New Cheese here. So he wrote on the wall:

• The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find New Cheese.
Haw went back to the cheeseless station to offer Hem some bits of Cheese he had picked up along the way. Hem turned it down because he wanted the cheese he was used to. Haw went back into the maze.

Haw soon came to realize:
• The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists.
"WHAT YOU ARE AFRAID OF IS NEVER AS BAD AS WHAT YOU IMAGINE."

• When you change what you believe, you change what you do.
Haw soon found New Cheese at Station RP-5, and met up with his old friends Sniff and Scurry who looked like they had been there for quite some time because they had grown fat.
Haw reflected as he enjoyed his New Cheese. He realized many more things:

* He had been holding onto the illusion of Old Cheese that was no longer there.

* He had started to change as soon as he learned to laugh at his own mistakes, then he was able to let go and move on.

* Sniff and Scurry kept life simple. They didn’t overanalyze or overcomplicate things. They simply moved with the Cheese.

* The mistakes he made in the past can be used to plan for the future.

* Notice the little changes so you are better prepared for the big change that might be coming.

* The biggest inhibitor of change lies within your self. Nothing gets better until You change.

"THERE IS ALWAYS NEW CHEESE OUT THERE."
While Haw still had a supply of cheese, he often went out and explored new areas in order to stay in touch with what was happening around him. He knew it was safer to be aware of his real choices than to isolate himself in his comfort zone.

Wisdom in a Nutshell from this story

• Anticipate change.

• Adapt quickly.

• Enjoy change.

• Be ready to change quickly, again and again.

• Having Cheese makes you happy.

• The more important your Cheese is to you, the more you want to hold on to it.

• If you do not change, you can become extinct.

• Ask yourself “What would I do if I weren’t afraid?”

• Smell the Cheese often so you know when it is getting old.

• Movement in a new direction helps you find New Cheese.

• When you move beyond your fear, you feel free.

• Imagining myself enjoying New Cheese, even before I find it, leads me to it.

• The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find New Cheese.

• It is safer to search in the maze than remain in a cheeseless situation.

• Old beliefs do not lead you to New Cheese.

• When you see that you can find and enjoy New Cheese, you change course.

• Noticing small changes early helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are to come.

• Read the Handwriting on the Wall

• Change happens. They keep moving the Cheese.

• Move with the Cheese and enjoy it!

10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits

2009-03-30T22:04:00.005+08:00

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7.Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effect.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely

2009-03-29T21:47:00.008+08:00

万般皆下品，唯有读书高。现代的父母都深知教育对孩子的重要，所以在策划家庭理财时都把孩子的教育列为重点，再穷也不可穷教育，谁不想自己的孩子将来出人头地，这可是天下父母的心声。

但是可有人认真的想过，有高深的教育就能确保孩子将来一定成功？在现实的社会里，平凡的人多，成功的人少。

因为今天这个向“钱”看的社会是用金钱来衡量一个人的成就，钱少就是失败，也就是平凡，钱多才能算是成功人仕。

刚刚踏入社会的大学生都知道，赚钱比读书还要难，大学的文凭只是一个入门砖，只能确保你取得一个比较好的工资。如何赚大钱，如何发达却要靠自己重新摸索。这种情况能够产生，就是因为天下的父母都是一样的：只注重孩子的学业，不注重提高本身的经济，也从不跟孩子讲金钱，所以父母平凡，孩子也平凡。这就是所谓的：龙生龙，凤生凤，老鼠生儿会打洞。

父母赚钱辛苦，成功无望，就把希望放在孩子身上，结果，每个父母都是使用相同的一招，那就是通过教育提高孩子将来赚钱的本领。但是，这只是一个“人赚钱”的本领，跟父母本身的“人赚钱”本领没有分别。所以孩子也跟父母一样觉得赚钱辛苦。

用“人”来赚钱当然辛苦，而且也慢，人要发达是靠“钱赚钱”不是靠“人赚钱”。这个概念是从小就要灌输给孩子的，不能怕跟孩子讲“钱”，“金钱”的教育是越早越好。

美国股神 WARREN BUFFETT 十一岁就懂得买股票，二十岁时身家才两万元，一生从不跟人家打工，他住在美国一个小镇，年青时常在住家主办讲座会，告诉人家如何投资股票，如何钱赚钱。今年七十岁，身家已超过四百亿美元，是一个单单通过股票致富的超级富豪。他能够成功是因为他从小就对“钱赚钱”有兴趣，人家童年是看漫画，他已经开始看投资的书籍了。他是如何教育他的孩子呢？他的孩子们说，他们从小所收到的圣旦礼物就是股票。这就是他所注重的教育：投资股票，用钱来赚钱。

Bill Gates – A story of Success

2009-03-28T00:25:00.005+08:00

Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 in a family having rich business, political and community service background. His great-grandfather was a state legislator and a mayor, his grandfather was vice president of national bank and his father was a lawyer.

Bill strongly believes in hard work. He believes that if you are intelligent and know how to apply your intelligence, you can achieve anything. From childhood Bill was ambitious, intelligent and competitive. These qualities helped him to attain top position in the profession he chose. In school, he had an excellent record in mathematics and science. Still he was getting very bored in school and his parents knew it, so they always tried to feed him with more information to keep him busy. Bill’s parents came to know their son's intelligence and decided to enroll him in a private school, known for its intense academic environment. It was a very important decision in Bill Gate's life where he was first introduced to a computer. Bill Gates and his friends were very much interested in computer and formed "Programmers Group" in late 1968. Being in this group, they found a new way to apply their computer skill in university of Washington. In the next year, they got their first opportunity in Information Sciences Inc. in which they were selected as programmers. ISI (Information Sciences Inc.) agreed to give them royalties whenever it made money from any of the group’s program. As a result of the business deal signed with Information Sciences Inc., the group also became a legal business.

Bill Gates and his close friend Allen started new company of their own, Traf-O-Data. They developed a small computer to measure traffic flow. From this project they earned around $20,000. The era of Traf-O-Data came to an end when Gates left the college. In 1973, he left home for Harvard University. He didn’t know what to do, so he enrolled his name for pre-law. He took the standard freshman courses with the exception of signing up for one of Harvard's toughest mathematics courses. He did well over there, but he couldn’t find it interesting too. He spent many long nights in front of the school's computer and the next day asleep in class. After leaving school, he almost lost himself from the world of computers. Gates and his friend Paul Allen remained in close contact even though they were away from school. They would often discuss new ideas for future projects and the possibility of starting a business one fine day. At the end of Bill's first year, Allen came close to him so that they could follow some of their ideas. That summer they got job in Honeywell. Allen kept on pushing Bill for opening a new software company.

Within a year, Bill Gates dropped out from Harvard. Then he formed Microsoft. Microsoft's vision is "A computer on every desk and Microsoft software on every computer". Bill is a visionary person and works very hard to achieve his vision. His belief in high intelligence and hard work has put him where he is today. He does not believe in mere luck or God’s grace, but just hard work and competitiveness. Bill’s Microsoft is good competition for other software companies and he will continue to stomp out the competition until he dies. He likes to play the game of Risk and the game of world domination. His beliefs are so powerful, which have helped him increase his wealth and his monopoly in the industry.

Bill Gates is not a greedy person. In fact, he is quite giving person when it comes to computers, internet and any kind of funding. Some years back, he visited Chicago's Einstein Elementary School and announced grants benefiting Chicago's schools and museums where he donated a total of $110,000, a bunch of computers, and provided internet connectivity to number of schools. Secondly, Bill Gates donated 38 million dollars for the building of a computer institute at Stanford University. Gates plans to give away 95% of all his earnings when he is old and gray.

Warren Buffett's Story

2009-03-26T20:01:00.006+08:00

The first few cents Warren Buffett earned came from selling chewing gum. And from the day he started selling--at 6 years of age--he showed an unyielding attitude toward his customers that revealed his later style. "I remember a woman saying, 'I'll take one stick of Juicy Fruit,'" he says. "I said, 'We don't break up packs of gum'--I mean, I've got my principles." Making a sale was tempting, but not tempting enough. If he sold one stick to her, he'd have four sticks left to sell, not worth the work or the risk. He made two cents profit per pack.

Warren switched to selling Coca-Cola--he made a nickel for every six bottles--and copies of the Saturday Evening Post and Liberty magazines. By the time he was 9 or 10, he and a pal were selling used golf balls until the cops stopped them. When the police talked to his parents, Howard and Leila weren't concerned. They just considered their son ambitious.

For Warren's 10th birthday, Howard took him to New York. A scene from the stock exchange dining room captured his imagination."We had lunch with At Mol, a member of the stock exchange. After lunch, a guy came along with a tray that had all these different kinds of tobacco leaves on it. He made up a cigar for Mr. Mol, who picked out the leaves that he wanted. I thought: It doesn't get any better than this." Warren had zero interest in smoking a cigar, but he saw what hiring a man for such a frivolous purpose implied. It meant that, even while most of the country was still mired in the Depression, the cigar man's employer--the stock exchange--was making a great deal of money. That day, a vision of his future was planted. He wanted money."It could make me independent. Then I could do what I wanted to do with my life. And the biggest thing I wanted to do was work for myself."

One day at the library, a book beckoned from the shelves. One Thousand Ways To Make $1000 it was called. This book explained the concept of compound interest. Warren started thinking: If he made $1000, as the book said, and it grew at a yearly rate of 10% interest, in 5 years, $1000 would become more than $1600; in 10 years, it would become almost $2600; and in 25 years, it would become more than $10,800. He could picture the numbers compounding as vividly as the way a snowball grew when he rolled it across the lawn.

Warren announced that he would be a millionaire by age 35, an audacious statement for an 11-year-old to make in the depressed world of 1941. By the spring of 1942, his hoard totaled $120. With sister Doris as a partner, he invested in three shares of a company called Cities Service Preferred. The market hit a low that June, and the stock plunged. Warren says he felt terribly responsible. So when the stock recovered, he sold, netting a $5 profit. But Cities Service quickly soared from $40 to $202 a share.

Warren learned three lessons and would call this episode one of the most important of his life. One lesson was not to overly fixate on what he had paid for a stock. The second was not to rush unthinkingly to grab a small profit. He learned these two lessons by brooding over the $492 he'd have made had he been patient. It had taken five years of work, since he was 6, to save $120 to buy the stock. And there was a third lesson, about investing other people's money. If he made a mistake, it might get somebody upset at him. So he didn't want to have responsibility for anyone else's money unless he was sure he could succeed.

赚钱 - “穷人”与“富人”大不同

2009-03-23T21:09:00.003+08:00

“赚钱”这句话，听起来一模一样，可是在“穷人”（其实是具有穷人心态的人）与“富人”的心里，却是相差十万八千里。
“穷人”只会用他们学到的方法，也就是出卖时间来赚钱，结果做得越久，人相对越累。

有钱人说要多赚点钱时，他们指的和穷人想的大大不同。

有钱人的“多赚点钱”是指“创造财富”，他们根本没有想到出卖自已的时间，相反，他们是从既有模式，轻易去发展本身的财富。

大多数人的一生被父母和学校教育教导要服从，社会教育则教我们若想赚钱，无非是找份工作，换句话说，也就是出售我们的时间，投入自已想要的行业。无论从事法律、医学、会计或在工厂扫地，它都有一个共同点“我们如果不工作就拿不到钱”。
我们花了十余年时间，在学校接受不同的教育，可惜的是，只学到如何“糊口”，大部份人均受雇于他人，有份工作，靠着出售自己的时间来养家活口。

“出卖时间”心态，使我们贫穷或难以致富，更讽刺的是，我们每天幻想着一夕致富，结果梦想失败，其实，这些梦想致富的人并非缺乏理想，他们只是少了简单认知。

成功的人所以成功，因为他们了解一件别人所不知道的事，即是“如何赚钱？”
这些人不费吹灰之力就可赚入大把钞票，这不是说梦话，只要你肯遵照一套模式行事，身体力行，就能赚钱晋身富豪行列。

许多人质疑自己在做什么？
早上起床上班下班，过着一成不变生活，甚至以为靠着股市、房地产或快速致富计划，就能当上“赚钱大王”，有如此简单吗？
市场目前有5种赚钱方法，
继承遗产或嫁个有钱人（如果你够幸运）、
偷抢拐骗（方法冒险，绝不道德）、
投资（只要有正确理财技巧，好的财务顾问及耐心，通常都能获利）、
工作（难以致富）、
创业（除非知道正确方法，否则难以致富）。

最快速赚钱方法，老实说不是投资股市或房地产，这些方法不单老到掉牙，而且太慢了，其实最迅速的赚钱秘诀是创造一个成功及有价值的企业。
坦白说，单单明白“创业”的重要还不够，相反，创业的人务必抱着正确的创业观念，那就是创造一个有价值的资产，再出售变现，从中寻找人生第一笔庞大财富。
这意味着，你所创立的公司或企业，必须制度化经营，不必靠个人努力耕耘，甚至在缺少你的情况下也能运作，如此类推，你才有办法累积更大笔的财富。
微软、麦当劳、星巴克企业，即是在这种制度下操作。

你有发现吗？
这些企业在不必依靠老板下，就可自行运作赚大钱，因为它们是靠制度及系统赚钱，更重要的是，它们打从第一天营业开始，就在创造一个有价值的企业。
各种不同的创业生意类型，如果与老板依存度很高，这家企业难以称得上成功，因为创办人一旦不在，它就不再具有市场出售价值，这也是目前市场上，最普通的错误创业例子。
既然你已明白这个道理，下一步你要做的就是建立属于自己的事业王国，而且是一个有价值的企业王国。

上表列出的是不同投资计划的每年报酬率，包括你在有关投资项目，所获得的收入及资产成长率。你从中可发现一个事实，累积财富的重点不在于收入，而是创业及资产的成长。

My HomeTown - Penang

2009-03-23T20:13:00.009+08:00

State Emblem

The betelnut tree gave the island its name.

The Penang Bridge is not only a source of pride to the people of Pulau Pinang; it also unites the island with the mainland and part of the State. In addition, it symbolises the unity between the State and the Federation. The two pillars of the bridge stand for two basic features of the new Economic Policy, namely the eradication of poverty and the restructuring of society. The four cables represent the four major races of the nation – Malays, Chinese, Indians and others.

The five blue and white waves symbolise the five principles of the Rukunegara (Principles of Malaysian Nationhood) and also the five administrative districts of the State. The five colours at the base of the betelnut tree have the same meaning.

State Flag
The Penang flag consists of three vertical stripes of equal width of light blue, white and yellow; the white stripe in the centre has an areca nut palm on a mount.

The light blue signifies the sea which surrounds the island of Penang. The white represents the State itself in its serenity. The yellow signifies prosperity. The betelnut tree (pokok pinang) is the name of the tree from which the island takes its name.

Location
Penang is popularly known as Pearl of the Orient and also dubbed as Silicon Valley of the East. Bounded to the north and east by the State of Kedah and to the south by the State of Perak, it consists of a turtle-shaped island and a coastal strip on the mainland called Province Wellesley (Seberang Prai). The island measure 292 square kilometers and is situated on the north-western coast of the Malay Peninsula at the entrance to the Straits of Malacca while the mainland measures 738 square kilometers. The capital of Penang is George Town.

The island and mainland are separated by a channel 3 km wide at the narrowest point and 13 km at the widest. They are linked by the 13.5 km Penang Bridge, one of the longest bridges in the world, and a ferry service.

Ferry service at the Raja Tun Uda terminal (on the island) operates from 5.30 am to 1.00 am while that at the Sultan Abdul Halim terminal (mainland) operates from 6.00 am to 12.30 am.

Population
Penang has 1,469 million people, of which over 678,000 live on the island. The population is multi-racial, young and almost equally distributed between male and female. The racial breakdown is as follows: Chinese 43.0 percent, Malay 40.9 percent, Indian 10.0 percent, others 0.8 percent and non-citizens 5.3 percent.

Place to Visit in Penang

Local Cuisine

Having a reputation as a food paradise, be it haute cuisine, or cuisine bourgeoise (hawker fare), Penang offers a heady and exotic mix of delicious cuisine to choose from.

In a word, Penang food is both famous and fabulous. When people mention Penang food, they are more often than not referring to hawker food and coffee shop dining. It's true that some of the hype is overblown but it cannot be denied that Penang is home to many uniquely delicious chow. Ironically, hawkers in other states or towns have been known to pull the crowd by simply advertising their food as hailing from Penang, regardless of its authenticity or quality. Then there are the Penang hawkers who advertise their cusine as specialties from another state, like Johor bak kut teh, Ipoh chicken and bean sprouts or laksa Kedah. In short, an infinite variety of dishes are yours to savour – all you need do is pick and choose.

Penang hawker food can be broken down roughly into several varieties, with each being attributable to Penang's multi-cultural character: Nyonya, Chinese, vegetarian, Indian, Malay, Hakka-styled Western, seafood and desserts. Hybrids are also known to exist, and some famous examples are Malay style chicken rice and char koay teow, and Chinese satay and nasi lemak. Prices are cheap and reasonable.

With fishing being a major economic activity on the island, Penang is naturally a haven for sea food, and a handful of restaurants have already achieved legendary status among locals and foreigners.
Tucked away in remote corners, these eateries are not easy to find without local guidance but are definitely worth the extra effort seeking out.

Desserts play a major role in Penang gastronomy. There are as many varieties as there are races in Penang! To mention a few would do injustice to the rest, so you'll just have to let your eyes and your nose be your guide. A word of warning though – most local desserts tend to be sweet and rich, as coconut milk, flour and sugar are main ingredients.

Thanks to early Chinese migrants, Chinese cuisine ranges from Cantonese to Teochew to Hokkien to Hainanese to Szechuan cooking. There's also Penang Nyonya food, which is a combination of Chinese, Malay and some Thai. The Penang variety of Nyonya food, apparently, is different from the Malaccan or even Singaporean versions. For a touch of luxury, try a five or ten-course Chinese meal at one of the restaurants or hotels in town.

Indian cuisine goes by two names generally – banana leaf rice and nasi kandar. Both are hot and savoury with rice being the main staple, and a menu from north Indian tandoori and nan bread, to South Indian rice and capati (photo left).

Nasi kandar is famously popular with Penangites, and many restaurants selling it are well known not only to those on the island but those in other states as well. It is quite common to find people from other states detouring to Penang just to stop for a meal of nasi kandar before proceeding on their journey elsewhere...

我是屬於「鑽石命」

2009-03-23T16:03:00.002+08:00

◎您是財富的鑽石，有商業頭腦，不愁富貴，充滿精明與魅力，喜歡有禮貌，有智慧的人。生活優雅有情調，對生活品味也很重視。◎
根據命理來分析您的個性，潛意識，以及行為模式，您是屬於「鑽石命」，因此您天生具有鑽石的特質，生活優雅有品味，十分引人注目，喜歡公平正義，不喜歡恃強凌弱，願意犧牲奉獻，不願意辜負別人。鑽石十分珍貴，都會被擺飾在最好，且最重要的位置，因此您非常有氣質，也有多方面的才華，但是會有點優柔寡斷，猶豫不決，做事情也比較慢。鑽石硬度高，抗壓性強，因此您對於現狀的不滿，能勇於突破，改變環境，並期望掌握自己的命運。此外，您喜歡有聰明智慧，才華創意的人，不喜歡懦弱沒有擔當的人，而能讓您佩服的人，多半是有領袖特質，能夠犧牲奉獻，講求公平正義的人。您的一生，像鑽石一樣，優雅高貴，受到眾人矚目，但是鑽石不是一輩子都有適合的舞台，一旦失去了舞台，也就失去了機會，就是您一生中最大的磨練，只要您經得起外在的考驗，不怨天尤人，進而學習成長，一旦通過考驗，您的生活會更上一層樓，富貴綿長。

◎您本命五行木太旺，肝膽機能比較弱，容易肝火旺盛，要注意膽固醇，三酸甘油酯的問題。◎
根據命理分析，您天生肝膽功能比較差，在年輕的時候不會有太大的問題，頂多是肝火旺盛，長青春痘，容易煩躁等問題，但是如果您現在不照顧肝膽功能，隨著年紀越來越大就很容易有膽固醇過高或三酸甘油酯過高的問題，甚至容易導致免疫功能衰退、肝功能異常、脂肪肝、肝硬化、膽結石、膽囊息肉、青光眼、白內障或視力病變等問題。因此您不能過度勞累，而且千萬不能喝酒，要維持正常作息，早睡早起，才可以保護先天比較弱的肝膽功能。此外，所謂「病從口入」，人類大部分的疾病來源都跟飲食有關，根據中醫理論，食物可以分成金、木、水、火、土等五種五行。您可能偏好吃酸的東西，像是泰國料理，或是酸辣湯等，應該都符合您的口味。因此，您的細胞中，充滿太多「木」的五行，會導致健康，財運與事業的不圓滿，建議您平時最好能飲食均衡，菜色均衡，則陰陽五行調和，生活美滿幸福。

◎但是您八字缺水，先天水的機能也比較弱，容易疲累，要注意泌尿系統的保健。◎
根據命理分析，您天生腎水系統比較差，所以容易感覺疲倦，冬天常常手腳冰冷，體力似乎不如人，因此無法從事需要大量勞力的工作。在年輕的時候不會有太大的問題，但隨著年紀越來越大，腎水系統需要更多的照顧，不然很容易有血壓、心臟的問題，甚至容易導致失眠、憂鬱、腦神經衰弱、聽力異常、腎功能異常、膀胱炎、尿道炎、攝護腺腫大、或其他心血管功能疾病等問題。因此您不能過度勞累，要維持正常作息，早睡早起，多接觸陽光，多走出戶外，少吃油炸食物，才可以保護先天比較弱的腎水系統。此外，由於體質偏向燥熱，您會想要喝冰的飲料，但是千萬不能喝，此外也要避免房事太頻繁，以免傷了元氣。此外，您是屬於行動派的人，不喜歡拖泥帶水，拐彎沒角。因此，您做事快速有效率，但是欠缺縝密的思考，運氣好的時後一帆風順，運氣差的時候白忙一場，所以一生常常起伏不定。如果您想改變這種現象，最好每天要留一些時間給自己思考，多想想平常沒時間思考的問題，這樣可以有助於您做出正確的決策。只要您做事能三思而後行，有正確的方向，再加上您的行動力，那您的命運將會有很大的改變，身體健康，財運順利，事業圓滿，家庭幸福。

◎簡易愛情分析，您是屬於柏拉圖式的精神愛情。您的愛情因為雙方生活背景差異大，價值觀也有落差，因此對方並不容易真正瞭解您，其實只要您們多溝通，讓對方瞭解自己真正的想法，相處就不會有問題。◎
您愛情的模式，根據命理分析，您對於心儀的異性，很容易一見鍾情，愛情火速發展，雖然感覺很甜蜜，但不容易長久，常常半途而歸，因為要從頭到尾都維持相同的熱情確實有點難。一般來說，異性對您的第一印象都會覺得很不錯，尤其您又兼具追女朋友的魅力與手腕。但是隨著交往時間越長，您的熱情不再，衝勁不再，新鮮感不再。換句話說，您很容易第一眼就喜歡上一個人，卻不容易經過長時間後還喜歡一個人。同樣地，您的戀愛對象也很容易第一眼就喜歡上您，卻也不容易經過長時間後還能適應這段感情。因此，如果您在等待美好的愛情，您可以試著把自己的外在美收斂起來，讓對方不是只因為看到您的外在美而跟您交往，而是要對方真心覺得適合您才跟您交往。如此之前的桃花都會煙消雲散，而真正的愛情也將降臨。在人生的旅程中，您的戀愛或結婚對象很容易出現，多半是「近水樓台先得月」，因為常常在住家附近，學校，補習班，社團，或是工作場合見面而認識，一不小心就擦出愛的火花。至於，結婚的對象，因為您比較早熟，因此您很有可能會早婚。若是您到現在，對象還沒有出現，您身邊認識的人中，長得最清新可愛，美麗動人的那一位可能就是您的對象了，只要真心誠意去追求，幸福就在您身邊。

◎簡易事業分析，您的工作類型大部分都需要專業，從事一些技術導向的工作。這類型的工作，需要專業知識，經驗累積，以技術為導向。◎
每一個行業中都有不同的職位，而您的工作類型，不論在哪一個行業中發展，大部分都需要專業，從事一些技術導向的工作。例如，財務、金融、會計、資訊、工程、律師、法務、顧問等擁有專門技術的工作。這類型的工作，需要專業知識，經驗累積，以技術為導向。如果您選擇從事這類型工作，您會比較順利，輕鬆，也更能發揮所長。但是世界上跟您一樣有專業的人很多，唯有不斷進步才有無可取代的價值。另外，您的工作類型容易產生下列迷思。一、越是專業的人多半從本位角度思考，不容易跟其他領域的人溝通。二、越是專業的人越不喜歡油腔滑調，阿諛奉承，除非上司有眼光，否則不容易得到提拔。三、越是專業的人只專注於自己的領域，對於其他領域缺乏興趣，所以一旦進入領導階層，在整體策略上，容易見樹不見林。此外，對於其他工作領域，像是文化藝術的工作，協調整合的工作，瑣碎事務的工作，或體力勞動的工作，都是您比較不適合的工作類型，您會覺得乏味無趣，不願意做，也做不久。

◎簡易財運分析，您每次缺錢，很自然就會有錢進來。未來的您，很會賺錢，但也很會花錢。◎
根據命理分析，您每次缺錢，很自然就會有錢進來。未來的您，很會賺錢，也很會花錢。您從很年輕的時候就知道錢財的重要性，因此您會比一般人更早開始理財，所以當別人在揮霍金錢，享受生命的時候，您在計劃未來，所以未來自然能夠累積更多的財富。此外，您天生比較精明，不會在不必要的地方花錢，但是您會有許多計畫性的支出，您也希望未來能夠自己當老闆，有自己的事業。如果以一生的時間來衡量，您今生大部份的財富會被您儲蓄起來，或是理財，或是置產，或是投資創業，或是投資自己。之後，這些財富大半會遺留給子孫。

My Dream House come true !

2009-03-21T20:02:00.005+08:00

Last Sunday 15/3/09, my whole family is washing our New House. This New House is my “Dream House”. Finally I have my “Dream House”. It has 5 room; 1 for my parent & each for my siblings including me. The interesting part is I get the “Master Room”. Wow!

The master room is for my parent in my early planning, but they reject & want a room in ground floor. The reason is because they say it’s inconvenient to climb up & down the stairs for old men like them.
Consequently, I own the Master Room with own bathroom & balcony too. Oh my god! ….. Master room is big; I will use 1 corner as my computer and reading corner.

For 1st floor living room, I prepare to put a TV, minicompo, playstation with sofa. Here will be an “enjoy” place for family members. While ground floor living room as family TV watching place; may be will install “astro” lol.

The new house had 3 bathroom, this is much much better than “kampong” house that only have 1 bathroom. All family sharing 1 bathroom, when 1 of us is “nikmati” mandian, another is in “hurry” of “pangsai” or “gap nie”……very disturbing…

After breakfast in the morning. We pack all necessary washing tools to our car and when to our new house. New house location not far from our current “kampong” house. It takes around 10-15min. there. We decide to start cleaning from 1st floor.

My brother is “fire” all window to wet, so that it’s easier to wash. See his gaya (style), kerja pun ada gaya.

This is my sister & our “pembantu” washing the window.

My Dad washing “toilet”, haha….. but actually I had wash already. Maybe he “rasa” not clean enough. Nevermind….. wash……

Hah! This is me, gosok each mosaic 1 by 1… it’s look like easy, but after 100 piece of mosaic, my wrist & forearm started “masam”.

My brother wash “toilet” again. Oh, yes. actually I only wash the “ma tong” not the wall. Second person “complaint” dirty in the toilet liao. Hehe…. Maybe I’m just main-main in the toilet.

My car dirty after my dad “fire” upper balcony's wall. The dusts are turun & cover our entire car. This is my two sister’s artistic “work”. Ha.. 1st prize in “Kuda”?…. Must hantam big big lol. Chi ko pau (1 ringgit) ok!

It’s lunch time, time to eat, time to rest, time to re-charge energy….. wanna know what we eating ?? …….. keh pui (chicken rice) & mee goreng. I choose mee goreng, dad already “book” 1. haha… only 2 packet we buying. My sister boh liao. Haha, maybe 1 to 2 spoon to puaskan rasa bolehlah. Drinks have many choose; coke-spice, orange, mineral water & “geng-geng” (mom’s homemade). Few type of fruit also disediakan such as papaya, honeydew, “baliku” etc. After small rest, we are continuing our final washing in the 1st floor. Then we move to wash the ground floor. I wash the stair first, but then my ankle start feels the pain, wah lau a….

In the afternoon, rain coming. I mean “hujan” not the Korean famous singer name “rain”. I think God is helping us to wash our outer house.

I’m demonstrate the “Kungfu washing” !!

We have visitor, our friend is stay 1 row behind us only. We will become neighbor soon.

Around 5 o’clock, almost finish job already, we take this opportunity to wash our car too… 1 by 1… totally 4 cars. If collect “upah” – RM5/car. RM5 X 4 = RM20. $$ haha.
Then our body finally, hoh, got 3 bathroom, don’t need to “rebut” already.

Finally, we move back to “kampong” house, leave all the washing tools there & move to Kopitiam for our Dinner. We take the “Bah Kut Teh” (Penang famous food). Wow, its puas after kerja teruk seharian. puas. puas. puas.

I have applied leave on next day “Monday” last week. There will few reason for it; 1st I need a rest after “hard work” on washing the new house; I know I will have pain all the body after that. 2nd because my AL balance have more than 10 days that will be expire within a month, better use it rather than its forfeit automatically. 3rd because it’s my Chinese calendar birthday!! Hurray! Happy Birthday to me!!

I’m sorry if anyone of you doesn’t understand my language…. I’m Malaysian so I use rojak language to write…. Special right? if you have any part or word that don’t understand, you may leave a question in “comments”. I will answer & explains to you asap.

1.起床：起床伸展身印。
2.嗽洗：除半浴外，早晨嗽洗應注意刮舌苔、洗鼻法和洗喉法。
3.早餐。
4.工作。
5.回家。
6.沐浴：許多人認為沐浴只是消除肉體上的疲勞，但事實上對心靈亦有很大之影響。

（1）沐浴用水：沐浴應只用冷水或溫水，若用熱水則對身心皆不佳。
冷水：水溫低於體溫之水。
溫水：水溫與體溫相當之水。
熱水：水溫高於體溫之水。
原因：高於體溫之水會刺激干擾較低之脈叢結(cakra)，使人較不易控制低等情緒。而且，熱水會使皮膚較鬆弛。

（2）沐浴時機: 沐浴最佳時機如下:日出前45分鐘至日落後45分鐘。沐浴最差時機如下:午夜12時前後1小時。
原因:午夜時之生理系統及時鐘已屬於休息之狀態，若再洗澡則會使細胞、神經再處於興奮狀態。

（3）沐浴方法:
a.以水澆淋肚臍。
b.以水澆淋背後脊椎相對於肚臍之部位。
c.以水順著背後頸部脊椎澆淋而下。
d.以水澆淋頭部。
e.清洗身體。
原因：
1.第三脈叢結是身體最熱部位，所以先冷卻之。
2.先使神經冷卻，才不至於對身體造成過度刺激。

7.晚餐。
8.睡覺：睡前喝牛奶、半浴及靜坐可穩定神經系統，幫助入睡。不要睡太軟的床比較符合生理系統。

其他健康原則：
1. 便後以冷水沖洗外陰部。
2. 男性包皮需翻上或割除。
3. 保留毛髮（尤其是腋毛及陰毛有維持腺體平衡之作用）。
4. 男性應穿著瑜伽內褲（Lungota）。
5. 半浴。(半浴之時機為1.用餐前2.靜坐及體位法前3.睡前)
6. 沐浴。
7. 吃悅性食物。
8. 規律之斷食。

瑜伽長壽秘訣：
1. 適度體力勞動。
2. 饑時即吃。
3. 困時即眠。
4. 規律靈修。
5. 規律斷食。
6. 半浴。
7. Yogurt及生食〈檸檬水〉。
8. 日出前起床。

我是雙魚星座的男人

2009-03-13T22:17:00.004+08:00

如果你是個追求浪漫的女人，那麼魚座的男人是不會讓妳失望的，清晨看日出，星光下划船，都可能是他採取的行動，他的溫柔體貼和無比的想像力，會給你帶來前所未有的甜蜜和歡樂。魚座男人的愛情像一張柔軟的床，讓你很容易養成賴床的壞習慣。就好像很多愛情小說中的人物一樣，每天什麼事都不做，只要談戀愛就能過日子一樣。
但是，現實生活中，愛情畢竟不是全部，如果你運氣好碰上了一條深諳水性的魚，他懂得掌握每一次機會，發揮自己的才華及想像力，那你就安心享受他帶給你的財富和名望吧！若是你遇上的是條弄不清潮汐擱淺在沙灘上的魚，快點斬斷情絲吧！否則你這輩子除了陪他作夢之外，就得面對一切現實生活的壓力了！

魚座的男人是很浪漫的幻想家，很多魚座的男人也真的在夢想中度過了一生的。因為他的夢想實在跟現實離得太遠了，他大部份的時間都花在如何把他的夢做的更完美一點，而不是如何實際的一步一步讓夢想實現，許多的機會就這樣從他眼前溜走，註定一輩子擱淺在沙灘上。他或許仍然覺得過得不錯，因為他心中始終有夢。但是如果你要跟他相守一生，那就恐怕有一點淒慘了。不要責備他沒有責任感，他的浪漫不正是令你心儀的原因嗎？只不過你沒料到他會「浪漫」到如此地步罷了。

當然，我也說過，還是有一些深諳水性的魚，你最好天天禱告你能遇上一條。對一個女孩來說，真的沒有比這個更好的際遇了。他浪漫多情，溫柔體貼，他有著豐富的想像力，他的夢想偉大而燦爛，更重要的是，他能夠把握每一次有利的時機，讓一切美夢成真。他會慷慨的讓你分享他的成就感，以及他贏得的榮譽、地位、財富，還有好多好多羨慕又嫉妒的眼光。
不要說我言過其實，這兩種類型的魚我都曾經看到過。我認識的那條擱淺的魚，他的夢想是找到一個有錢的老婆，少奮鬥二十年，而且可以有充足的資本，愛做什麼就做什麼。所以，他從來沒有認真工作過，一年當中有一半的時間都在失業，窮得連房租都交不出來，常常連睡覺的地方都沒有。好不容易賺了一點錢，就去弄頭髮，買衣服，東借西湊的買了一部拉風的摩托車，騎了幾天就撞壞了沒錢修。當然，到現在還沒等到他夢想中的有錢老婆。倒是女友換了好幾個，每個女孩子開始的時侯都是滿懷愛心的想幫助他、照顧他，因為他是那麼的溫柔、善良、又可憐。但是最後傷心絕望的離他而去。

我認識的那條深諳潮汐的魚，是一位優秀的企劃人才，他以豐富的想像力和思想，創造了許多奇蹟般的成功案例，好多次他所企劃的事情，在剛開始的時侯大家都以為絕對不可行，但是他卻能夠把握住有利的時機，所有的機會連結在一起。所以每次能出奇制勝。在工作上，大家都很佩服他，他在自己從事的行業中有著崇高的地位。在家裡，他是個溫和的丈夫，有愛心的爸爸。而他的妻子，始終靜靜的欣賞他把夢想變成真的魔術。當他有需要時，給他誠懇的建議和幫助。
上述的兩種魚都是極成功和極失敗的典範，事實上我也見過曾經擱淺，後來又重回大海的魚，還有曾經掌握多次漲潮，風光一時的魚，最後在沙灘上乾涸而死。對於他的成功失敗，其實你還是很有影響力，但是幫助他的方式應該是溫柔、有耐心的。

雙魚座男人難免都有頹廢的傾向，經常需要別人的肯定和讚美，你的鼓勵對他來說是很重要的，用冷酷實際的言語打碎他的夢，將是失去他最快的方式。
溫暖又有愛心的魚座男子，將是朋友們傾吐心事的好對象：其中當然也不乏是異性朋友。收斂一下你的醋勁，加入他們的行列，才是避免外遇的好方法。他經常需要獨處的時間，以平衡他容易受到外界影響的心情，請不要在他心情低落的時侯，對他喋喋不休，抱怨個不停，這很可能會讓他從你面前消失好一陣子，甚至再也不出現了。

雙魚座男人的溫柔本性，會讓他收集到很多的秘密，事實上他敏感而機警的心靈，讓他本能的能看穿別人的心，想要欺騙他可不是件容易的事情。但是他如果想要唬你可就輕而易舉啦！以他的想像力，編故事實在太簡單了。但是多數的魚座男人都很善良，少有惡意的欺騙。
不過說些無傷不雅的小謊倒是可能的。似乎隱藏一些事實他會比較有安全感！不必太小題大作！你就睜一隻眼、閉一隻眼算了。魚兒再靈活總也游不出海的懷抱，如果你有著海一般的胸懷，你就永遠會是他夢境中的愛麗絲，有幾個女孩能像你那麼幸運，一輩子都能享受浪漫的愛情呢？

雙魚座的男人與「性」
雙魚座的男人在性方面是追求自己快樂，也希望讓對方快樂的。雙魚座的男人有些縱慾，在性愛的表現上也是想像力十足，可能會想出各種新鮮的花樣，來刺激彼此的樂趣，他是溫柔浪漫的，冷漠的女孩會讓他不滿足，甚至給他挫折感。

雙魚座的爸爸
雙魚座的男人會是個討好孩子歡心的爸爸，他鮮活的想像力足以滿足小孩的幻想，他們會喜歡跟他一起瘋，一起玩，一起說故事。他的溫柔和體貼，會給他們很大的安全感，他的愛不會給孩子壓迫感，他總會體諒他們的情緒和所犯的錯。教孩子們守紀律，恐怕不是他內行的事，因為雙魚座的男人本身就沒有什麼紀律的歡念，關於這一點你就得多費心思了。
