欲望蔓延

神童鄒奇奇認為這個世界需要「幼稚」的思維，亦即小孩那些大膽的點子、奔放的創意，特別是他們樂觀的態度。她說，小孩的偉大夢想值得我們高度期望，首要之務，便是大人除了願意教導小孩，還得放下身段從小孩身上學習。

我們都知道客家話是需要保存的語言，可是有些客家人很奇怪。
A對於客家人一直講國語，會心情非常不爽。
B自恃對客語非常了解，很愛糾正別人的發音。
今天看見這兩種狀況，不知道大家對此的感覺是什麼?

在aloedon的暱稱看到了這麼一段話：
I’m pretending we're playing hide & seek and you're just really good at hiding.
很有趣，不是嗎?

看別人都是很容易的。
一下子就畢業了，一下子就找到工作了，一下子就當兵了，一下子就結婚了，一下子就有小孩了。
看別人生活總是很容易，換作自己就不一樣了，真奇妙。
也許體會不到別人的辛苦，正是我們覺得他們的生活那麼順遂的原因。

有位朋友說，她希望自己能爲小事而開心，JUNO便想:「我是為了小事而開心的那種人嗎?」
答案似乎是:「是的。」
因為接到朋友的電話而開心，因為寫完作業而開心，因為中了統一發票200元而開心，因為小紅每個月準時報到而開心...等等。
話說這次的統一發票獎金終於有我的份啦! 哈哈，超開心的，雖然只是兩百塊。
五月天有一首歌叫做「最重要的小事」，沒錯! 雖然是小事情，但誰說小事情不重要呢!

睡前突然想到一個問題，你對誰比較好?
你是否曾經思考，自己是否對自己好? 對家人比對自己好? 對朋友比對自己好?
想東西的時候會想到替其他人買一份；去玩的時候問問其他人要不要一起去；自己去玩也永遠記得帶份紀念品分送。
不管是朋友還是家人，唯有時常聯絡才是維繫感情的最好方法。
對其他人和對自己一樣好? 對自己和對其他人一樣好? 很有趣的問題吧!

Words of Advice from Bill Gates:
Life is wonderful, but it is also challenging at times. Bill Gates is one of the most successful businessman in history. He recently gave the following advice to a group of students about 11 things they may not learn in school. He talked about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality. This concept will set them up for failure in the real world. We want all of you to be very successful, so consider some of his words:
Rule 1.人生並不公平─你要適應它。
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2.這個世界並不在乎你的自尊，你想要對自己感到滿意，就得先成就些什麼事。
Rule 2:The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3.你不可能離開學校就可以有四萬美元的年薪，也不可能成為配有汽車電話的副總裁，你得自己去賺才有。
Rule 3:You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both.
Rule 4.如果你認為你的老師很嚴苛，等你有了老闆你就知道了。
Rule 4:If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
Rule 5.煎漢堡並不會讓你有失身分，你的祖父母對煎漢堡有不同的定義，他們稱之為─機會。
Rule 5:Flipping burger is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping they called it opportunity.
Rule 6.如果你搞砸了，那並不是你父母的錯，因此，不要抱怨你的錯誤，而是從中記取教訓。
Rule 6:If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7.在你出生之前，你的父母並不像現在這麼乏味，他們之所以如此，是因此他們一直在支付你的帳單、清洗你的衣服、聽你說你自己有多酷。因此想要拯救父母那一輩子的寄生蟲，請先清除你房間裡的蚤子做起。
Rule 7:Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they now are. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening
to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your
own room.
Rule 8.你的學校可能已經廢除優等生和劣等生的分法，但人生並沒有。在某些學校裡，他們已經廢除了所謂不及格的分數，只要你想找到對的答案，他們就會給你無數的機會，但這跟現實世界裡的情況可是一點都不像。
Rule 8:Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you
as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9.生命並不是以學期來劃分的。你不會有暑假，更不會有老闆有興趣幫助你發現自我，你得自己找時間做。
Rule 9:Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your
own time.
Rule 10.電視並非真實的人生。在真時的世界裡，人們得離開咖啡廳去工作。
Rule 10:Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11.有善的對待討厭鬼，你可能最後會為其中一個人工作。
Rule 11:Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
比爾蓋茲說得真好啊!

你會不會覺得和一個理性的人講話很辛苦?
特別你是一個耐不住性子的人。

儘管一方講得口沫橫飛，一方卻眼神亂飄，什麼也都聽不進去。
如果這種情況發生的話，你會怎麼辦?

今天看到一個滿有趣的句子：
"Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses." – Dale Carnegie
其實好像也是這樣，如果每個人都表現出快樂的一面，那又怎麼會知道負面的情緒為何。
前陣子spidery問我「快樂是什麼?」
每個人的認知與體會不同，甚至有時是難以言述，JUNO覺得只要感覺到快樂就好，也不想加以定義，畢竟定義也不是那麼重要吧。
