sweet~
This is a conversation between my coworker and his daughter. It's so sweet that I'm just going to share it:
Joe S says:
We try to teach Ellie the value of money. so when she wants to buy things, we will ask her to give us the money (from her piggy bank).
It was effective.
We also told her that she can earn money. if she make her bed, we would give her a quarter.
This morning, while I was having breakfast, she came to me and told me she's made her bed and mommy's (my) bed. That's worth 50 cents. I gave her a dollar and told her I want 50 cents back :D
she came back to me with the loonie and told me she would like to a hug and kiss instead. :D

Love is a verb
so i'm reading this book that has claimed sold over 15 million copis...
still not totally convinced yet...
but there is this part which i think deserve attention:
...a man came up and said, "Stephen, I like what you're saying. But every situation is so different. Look at my marriage. I'm really worried. My wife and I just dont have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just dont love her anymore and she doesn't love me. What can I do?"
"The feeling isnt there anymore?" I asked.
"That's right," he reaffirmed. "And we have three children we're really concerned about. What do you suggest?"
"Love her", I replied.
"I told you, the feeling just isnt there anymore."
"Love her."
"You dont understand. The feeling of love just isn't there."
"Then love her. If the feeling isn't there, that's a good reason to love her."
"But how do you love when you don't love?"
"My friend, love is a verb. Love-the feeling-is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?"

~The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People~
and then the book goes on telling people to be proactive. Love is a verb, and reactive people make it a feeling.

你幾兩重?
小時候超級喜歡看農民歷後面算命理的部份. 是過新年的必讀刊物. 昨天跟朋友聊,今天跟同事研究了一下:
陽歷如何換算農歷: http://dbo.sinica.edu.tw/~tdbproj/sinocal/luso.html
之後年月日自己加一加. 記得10錢是一兩喔: http://www.yymmddtt.com/fate/talks/group_1/talk_764.html
結果跟我印象中的差不多, 不高不低:
(五兩六錢〕 此格推來禮義通,一身福祿用無窮。 甜酸苦辣皆嘗過,滾滾財源盈而豐

腦海里浮現的幾個數字...
1989 64
2009 20
649
1989, 64天安門事件.
今年是2009.
20年了, 我依然可以回想當初在臺灣是多大的新聞.
記得一個畫面, 就是三舅站在客廳,手拿著AMFM walkman,專心地聽實況報導.
[為什么不看電視呢?]
死亡人數,每刻報導的都不一樣.
這是我人生認知第一個'國際性'的新聞.
隔年, 是波斯灣戰爭.
聯想: 我要買649

最近
周遭慢慢出現了變化。。。
一定是因為年紀到了。
家裡長輩年紀以大,身體大大不如以前。接一連二的出事,更加顯現出,是我們這一輩該站出來的時候了。
支柱已經悄悄換人了。不能再依依不捨地眷戀在樹陰下。縱然還不成氣候,也得撐著。
朋友歸台的離別,更代表了我們這年紀再也不能任性。許多的決定,是為了朋友,家人,更要為了自己。許多惆悵,但是必然。
工作的諸多不順,時時刻刻地提醒自己:我的責任不可能只局限自己,更是要支持那些相信我的人。我不能躲避,因為成功是團體的。我別辜負期待。
悲情嗎?當然身邊也的確同時充滿喜事,許許多多結婚生子的好消息,充滿了新希望。有點嚇人,但我們也開始背負擔當下一代的責任。壓力再也不是壓力而是歡喜。
我不是在矯情,我只是覺得我們不再是過著無憂無慮的年紀了! 世界已經慢慢地在轉變。我最親愛的家人,朋友,和同事。。。縱有不順,也要加油,一步一腳努力往前走。我如此期許我自己,也與你們分享。 我愛你們。
