Trigger an idea

.

That’s what triggered the idea. Sometimes ideas are born out of necessity: you solve a problem for yourself, and you hopefully solve it for a number of other people too.

聖誕誡命

Sentence 1 is achieved by sentence 2.

— based on Mr Lee@philosophical analysis lecture@2002

.

.

The greatest commandment, Jesus:

1. One should love Yahweh with one’s entire heart, soul, mind, and strength.

你要全心全靈全意全力愛上主, 你的天主.

2. One should love one’s neighbour as one would love oneself.

愛你的近人, 猶如愛你自己.

— the Gospels of Mark[12:28–34] and of Matthew[22:34-40]

.

.

Not many people have realized that the two are actually the same sentence.

Sentence 2 is the ONLY method to achieve sentence 1.

Fans

First, organize 1,000

I think the ability to find and organize 1,000 people is a breakthrough opportunity. One thousand people coordinating their actions is enough to change your world (and make a living.)

You don’t find customers for your products. You find products for your customers.

Illusion 2

Dedicated to the memory of Mr Shields …

.

.

The first time I saw him, he asked me to help to print several pages of notes. The general office computer could not print his file. So I used my computer in the Staff Room 4 to print the pages. (I do not remember clearly. Maybe it was that my computer could not print it. We went to the general office to print it.)

He said he had been Hong Kong, teaching English for over a decade. I wanted to know which of the staff rooms would be his office. But I did not know how to say it in English,

“Where do you sit?”

He replied, “What do you mean?”

* Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

Job: Focus 2

.

The less you try to “stay loose” and open to anything,

the more precisely you define your skills

with Data/Information and/or People and/or Things in detail

and at the highest level you legitimately can claim,

the more likely you are to find a job.

Self Reliance 13

.

Emerson presupposes that the mind is initially subject to an unhappy nonconformism. However, “Self-Reliance” is not anti-society or anti-community. Instead, Emerson advocates self-reliance as a starting point, not as a goal.

Self Reliance 12

.

An institution is the lengthened shadow of one man; as, Monachism, of the Hermit Antony; the Reformation, of Luther; Quakerism, of Fox; Methodism, of Wesley; Abolition, of Clarkson. Scipio, Milton called “the height of Rome”; and all history resolves itself very easily into the biography of a few stout and earnest persons.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
