农历新年又到了

在我世界里的新年越来越没气氛了。是因为年纪越来越大，对一切都失去了新鲜感？还是自己的内心越来越不快乐了。。？曾几何时这可是我一年之中最盼望的日子。。可是自从公公在2000年去世以后，就越来越平淡了。因为公公是位相当注重传统礼仪的中国人，所以我们家都会有很多礼节要遵守，也因此而特别吧？

在这一刻，我才察觉自己好像从未写过任何关于公公的事，也很少向认识的人提起。。

在印象中，公公是位健壮、爱喝酒但不酗酒、严格、有威严、有远见、天不怕，地不怕，又刻苦耐劳的知识分子。并不是他受过什么高等教育，他的学历好像只是小时读过几年书罢了。而是他凭着自己的努力和数十载，慢慢地从书籍，报章，以及其它媒体中认识了更多的文字和学问。自我有记忆以来，公公每天一大早都会在客厅的窗口旁，边喝咖啡，边看报纸。从文学、国家大事、宗教礼仪、经商、到中草药等都难不倒他。公公的博学、勇气、远见还有好多好多都让我非常的佩服和敬佩，虽然小时也有受过公公的许多教训和责罚，但当时都不了解其中的道理。

现在31岁的自己，早已视公公为最尊敬的对象。

新年快乐~

只要有准备，就不须怕失败

凡事有备案、失败何须怕；摘自《星洲日报》企管 2009年1月3日

很有学问的一则报导。其中写着：

“由于做事都会先设想“万一失败，怎么办”，许志圣说，这让他 “想法很悲观，但心情很乐观”，因为一旦失败，他会坦然接受，并立刻启动备案，即使害怕失败，只要一想到有备案，就什么都不必怕。”

我想其中窍门就在于如何拿捏想要达到目的的决心；不要过于强求或自负，以至给自己带来过多的心理压力，但也不要因为有了后路，就以不认真的态度去做一件事，那只会让自己‘准备’失败罢了。

思念

别离是淡苦的水，孤独是一匙咖啡，我把相思煮得浓浓，品你留下的芳味。

楚宁，走好。。。

一早收到李楚宁寻短见的消息。错愕、难过、难以相信。。。最让我喜欢的超级星光大道III歌手。。。浑厚又充满魅力的歌声。一位非常有成熟女人味的女生。24岁而已。。好傻。。好可惜。。。

今天才发现，楚宁也是天秤座。。

我非常喜欢的一首。。

P.S.: 其实世上并没有所谓“真的不能没了谁。。。”。每个人在出生的时候也不是两手空空，独自一人来到这世界吗？再大的狂风暴雨也终会有天晴的时候。所以不管有多大的难关、逆境，都要勇敢的活下去。因为只有活着，才会有转机和希望。塞翁失马焉知非福。

Re-balance

Was reading up on financial news about the recent market crash & recession. How fortunate it is for me to be involved at this period of time. News reported it as worst financial crisis since the Great Depression in 1929-1930s. Not being sarcastic; had some heavy losses from the crash too, though it's still within my risk tolerance. Fortunate because it's a very valuable experience for me as an investor & person. Learnt a great deal from some terrible mistakes I've done. It's true that we "can" learn more from our losses than wins, provided you understand & practice it.

Just as I was frowning thru the tonnes of aweful news, one wonderful piece of email from Carol came just in time to pull my soul back to ease again; almost lost it to the unforgivingly wild & opportunistically marketplace. Here they are..

P.S.: Always bear in mind what you strongly believe in.
