The Open Cage

Posted on by

.

Have you ever noticed that when animals are let out of cages, they don’t always realize at first that the door’s open? Often they have to be poked with a stick to get them out. Something similar happened with blogs. People could have been publishing online in 1995, and yet blogging has only really taken off in the last couple years. … it just took eight years for everyone to realize the cage was open.

Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future, but right now. Realize that nothing is too good.

David Drumlin: I know you must think this is all very unfair. Maybe that’s an understatement. What you don’t know is I agree. I wish the world was a place where fair was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded, not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don’t live in that world.

Ellie Arroway: Funny, I’ve always believed that the world is what we make of it.

Job: Focus 2

Posted on by

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.

The You Show

Posted on by

.

A friend was telling me about some job interviews she went on. She enjoyed them.

One approach is to be reactive, to sit where you’re supposed to sit, have your resume appear just so, wear what you’re supposed to wear and answer each and every question in the safe and secure way.

The other approach is to put on a show. To be in charge, to lead.

Some bosses don’t want to hire people who have a vision, a personality and a shtick. That’s okay. You don’t want to work for them anyway.

Passion

Posted on by

.

* There are too many ideas and things and people. Too many directions to go. I was starting to believe the reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more managable size.

* Most people yearn for something exceptional, something so inspiring that they’d want to risk everything for that passion, but few would act on it. It was very powerful and intoxicating to be around someone so alive.

Be a miracle

Posted on by

.

A single mom who’s working two jobs and still finds time to take her son to practice, that’s a miracle. A teenager who says ‘no’ to drugs and ‘yes’ to an education, that’s a miracle. People want me to do everything for them. What they don’t realize is they have the power. Want see a miracle, son? Be the miracle.

三原色

Posted on by

.

「原色」並非是一種物理概念，反倒是一種生物學的概念，是基於人的肉眼對於光線的生理作用。

有些物種的眼球具有四種不同的「感光體」，例如許多鳥類及有袋動物都屬於這類生物，甚至於有人提出部分女性人類的眼球也具有第四種感光體，除了紅綠藍之外還多了黃色。另一方面，大多數的哺乳動物都是屬於「雙色感光體生物」，牠們的眼球只有兩種感光體。

Primary colors are not a fundamental property of light but are often related to the physiological response of the eye to light.

Many birds and marsupials are tetrachromats, and it has been suggested that some human females are tetrachromats as well, having an extra variant version of the long-wave (L) cone type.
