146. Starting From 2012+ : My New Year, New Century Resolutions

Image
This is our only Earth. Year 2012 is not the end of the world. It is the beginning of a new century. Mayan calendar hinted that the world will come to an end in 2012 Many people worried about that but I don’t think so, because a big meteor,a size of 3football fields has left the earth orbit few days ago. We are lucky this time.Thank You for Mayan Blessings. We may not be so lucky next time. Our internal weaknesses are more serious than external threats. We may not survive with our own weaknesses If we don’t use our resources properly We may not be so lucky next time If we don’t reduce our defense budget by half We may not be so lucky next time If we don’t reduce world population by half We may not be so lucky next time If we don't reduce self-centred government agencies by half We may not be so lucky next time If we are wasteful in using our limited resources again and again We may not be so lucky next time If we have right passion but with wrong direction May we promote creativity

Cherry Blossoms Adrift Pink petals passing Scents above so high Painted porcelain perfection Blossoms caress the sky Swaying silent shroud Suitors strolling by Pink petals passing Lover's gentle sigh Pastel hues falling Slow fluttering grace Pink petals passing Lining streams in lace Pink petals passing Smoothest transit by Soft essence floating In most subtle lullaby Inducing springtime slumber Upon a satin shore Sailing with the current Pink petals pass before (Mary Fumento) Sakura beauty is in my heart My heart is beauty Sakura Tomorrow is better Tomorrow is brighter (Simon Kong)

144. Balls

We can let go a golf ball, We can let go a tennis ball, We can even let go a basketball, But we can not afford to let go a glass ball All balls are made of materials All balls are important to you But a glass ball is made of life 80+ is vulnerable 40+ is vulnerable and even 20+ is vulnerable Keep the glass ball on hand Put all balls aside At the most take another ball with you

143. I-ching and the life of origin

Image
I-Ching (sounds yijing), meaning a book of changes (nature or human event) They are many ways in which humans interpret the creation of universe and the behavious of human society. I-ching and science are two fundamental aspects of explanation. I-Ching was a tool used in an ancient Chinese especially for weather forecast. The lack of research had made it downgraded to a tool for fortune telling. I learned I-Ching at age of 27; the learning outcome was full of frustration because I did not know the way of learning. Years later when I knew that Confucian mastered I-Ching at age of 50, this made me feel better. Nowadays I am happy even I don’t understand I-Ching as I am more appreciative then before. The power of I-Ching in Maths and Computing, a binary system of 0,and 1 which makes a revoultion of scientific world. The power of 64 bits computing technology is not fully developed, less alone the full power of I-Ching 64bits*64bits technology in future development. In huamnity front I coul

142. Live Your Dream

Ask what is your dream Ask where is your dream Ask when you start your dream Focus your dream Live your dream A tiny little young bird flapping its wings A tiny little young bird growing day by day You will be there Up in the blue sky Focus your dream Live your dream

141. Wisdom

Wisdom and a high level of wisdom are beyond the reach of human being. I will try to explain the meaning of wisdom. A person who has wisdom is the person who would not be happy with how rich he is or how rich he would become, how many properties he has, with more future job promotion, and more power. He would only think of helping other people, making other happy. He would have less desire on earthy things. In reality, he has no self. – No Self. Yes, no self. Look at Lord Jesus, he has three forms; trinity. Lord Shiva has multiple hands and heads. Therefore they are in a different state of understanding of the real world. God has WISDOM and God has no setback. Buddha was not a god. Buddha developed a high level of wisdom. Buddha eightfold paths penetrate religions. Eightfold paths are grouped into wisdom, morality and concentration. The wisdom in buddhism that is based on the direct realization of such things as the four noble truths, impermanence, interdependent origination, non-self

140. Lucid Dreaming

A lucid dream is a dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. The term was coined by the Dutch psychiatrist and writer Frederik (Willem) van Eeden (1860–1932).[1] In a lucid dream, the dreamer can actively participate in and manipulate imaginary experiences in the dream environment.[2] Lucid dreams can seem real and vivid.[3]" - wikipedia An older record of lucid dream was cited in Zhuangzi 2400 years ago (400bce). In Zhuangzi dream, he transformed himself into a butttefy. When he woke up he wasn't sure whehter he was in a butterfly or a butterfly was in his body. - An highthened experience. "Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly (or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuangzi)Another well-known part of the book,is usually called "Zhuangzi dreamed he was a butterfly" (莊周夢蝶 pronounces as Zhuāng Zhōu mèng dié). Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Zhuangzi

139. White Blood Cells

Our immune system, and the world economy system are in difficult situations... As a personal level, we know our bodies need , white cells and red cells, when they are in a right mix, they complement each other. But too many of white cells over red cells are too bad for the body, i.e. the system degeneration. For example, the human body immune system malfunctions. So far the mankind has not found good panaceas for boosting body immune system yet. However, I find a simple solution to promote body immune system ie: Taking cold bath in the morning, simple. Try it for yourself. it works for me. Similarly, as a national level, running a government is like managing our own bodies. In a larger perspective, the system of government of the world is a white cell; there are too many white cells now. The world system of government is in a cross road. Communism has it flaws but the capitalism has a bigger flaw. It seems that we are living in a lost world. ie. uncontrollable spending and uncontrolla
