在人生旅途上,大家不住的往前低頭疾走,向着自己的人生目標進發。每天營營役役無事忙,有沒有想過為何?有幾許會提醒自己慢下步伐,關心一下跟自己萍水相逢,或在旁邊擦身而過,或於人生交滙點有緣碰上的您?

火 柴 棒 的 威 力 (original author unknown)

一根火柴棒價值不到一毛錢,
一棟房子價值數百萬元…..
但是一根火柴棒卻可以摧毀一棟房子.

可見微不足道的潛在破壞力,
一旦發作起來,
其攻堅滅頂的力量,無物能御.

要疊一百萬張骨牌,需費時一個月,
但倒骨牌卻只消十幾秒鐘.

要累積成功的實業,需耗時數十載,
但要倒閉,卻只需一個錯誤決策.

要修養被尊敬的人格,
需經過長時間的被信任,
但要人格破產卻只需要做錯一件事.

一根火柴棒,是什麼東西呢?
它就是下列四項:
無法自我控制的情緒.
不經理智判斷的決策.
頑固不冥的個性.
狹隘無情的心胸.

檢查看看,我們隨身攜帶幾根火柴棒?

如果我們有這些火柴捧,甚麼才是可令它們不再燃燒的水?

世事往往如是,火柴好用時隨手可得,你肯划的,它一定會燒得起, 縱然只是一不小心而已!

Carrie:

Here are a couple of my perosnal recommendations: see if that help:

控制自我情緒. 理智的判斷,
always see the same thing from both directions;
always approach things in positive way:
always see an issue, not a problem;
always think of a solution before you point out the “potential difficulty”;
what In front is not an obsticle, it is a challenge;
don’t blame what goes wrong, appreciate the opportunity to show your talent in problem solving;
don’t bitch about what you miss, appreciate of what you have;
allocate a couple of private minutes for yourselves each day: to settle your mind and do self evaluation, don’t bury yourself into work.
Learn how to stay “smart busy”, not “busy for nothing”.
懂得包容,放開,寬恕,體恤,豁達,眼光放遠一點....

Ching Sheung,

I believe we all have our own formula for the "water". I throw out the question just for some casual discussions here...=) Thanks for your sharing.

One of my key is to sit back and calm down 1st before thinking of or doing anything (no matter how little time we have for doing so).
