Change

Open your arms to change, but do not give up your values ~ Dalai Lama, 2010.

适应

感觉像小孩一样，重新开始学习怎样生活，怎样在一个四季国家生活。
不同的是，这一次没有爸妈在旁教导。

有了去年的经验，这个冬天并不太冷。。。

Gratification

Am I nurturing instant gratification in myself?

Nobody owns nothing

Don't be afraid of becoming nobody, as we are actually nobody.
Don't be afraid of losing something, as we own nothing.

Saying it or doing it

1) We are what we do but not what we say.
2) We all can talk the talk but can we walk the walk?

Just do it but do it well

Bro.Tan always say,
1. Just do it, what is so difficult ??!!
2. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. 要么不做， 要么做好。
3. Focus on learning but not the emotion as emotion is groundless.

Happiness

Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony. ~ Mahatma Gandhi ~

A big step

Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is needed. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps. ~David Lloyd George~

Habit

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
~ Aristotle ~

每个人心中都有一首歌

為你　我用了半年的積蓄飄洋過海的來看你
為了這次相聚　我連見面時的呼吸都曾反覆練習
言語從來沒能將我的情意表達千萬分之一
為了這個遺憾　我在夜裡想了又想不肯睡去

記憶它總是慢慢的累積　在我心中無法抹去
為了你的承諾　我在最絕望的時候都忍著不哭泣

陌生的城市啊　熟悉的角落裡
也曾彼此安慰　也曾相擁嘆息
不管將會面對什麼樣的結局

在漫天風沙裡望著你遠去　我竟悲傷得不能自己
多盼能送君千里直到山窮水盡　一生和你相依

Education (1)

Even though you are mute, you still can educate and inspire others.

很忙

我很忙， 忙着提醒自己很多东西，
1。 今天和今天以后要做到的是“里外和一”
2。 珍惜生命， 用心生活
3。 不浪费
4。 不偷懒
5。 爱人爱己
6。 我是一片抹脚布。

Deeper and Subtle

Be a deeper person who can think deeper, see farer and always keep an open mind. Be a subtle person who can act accordingly upon different kinds of environments, situations and conditions.

习惯

不要害怕习惯，因为它可能是好的。怎样改掉坏习惯？ 简单，就培养一个新的好习惯来代替它。

Add oil.

看世界

我的世界不是用眼睛来看的， 不是透过摄影镜头看的， 而是用心来看的。

幸运

我是如此平凡，却又如此幸运。

Craving

Ajahn Brahmavamso talked about 'craving'.
It is not because you want the things you craved for but you are addicted to 'craving'. For most people, life is craving, life is wanting for something. Craving gives us a sense of being, a sense of identity. The problem of craving is, if you want the next thing, you cannot enjoy the thing you are having now. When you have stillness of mind, you reserve your mental energy :-) Sometimes, remember to look at things which have been done, do not always look only at what have not been done. (Note: Be careful of this saying !!)

Bro.Tan said: This is good enough for me. This is enough for me. I have enough of what I need. What others need is what they need and that is not what I need.

Ajahn Jayasaro said: " There are two types of craving: wholesome and unwholesome cravings. For unwholesome craving, it can be craved for sensual pleasure, wanting to be and not wanting to be."

The motivational journey

Movement is everything.
Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance. ~Samuel Johnson~
They said, to successfully complete a thesis we have to engage in new behaviors and avoid or limit other behaviors.
While each thesis journey is different, all share the need for students to manage their thinking, emotions and behavior, in order to produce the necessary persistence and intensity of effort.

The thesis is as much a motivational journey as a journey of research and discovery.

Good Luck.

Timely Wisdom = Mindfulness

When we are able to call upon our reserve, knowledge, principle to deal with each and every situation then we can say that we have mindfulness.

Wisdom is something which is in regards with time and place. It has no specific personality but is sensitive to the need of time and place. It makes you see when you need to agree or disagree, firm or compromise, lead or follow…

Train and educate your mind to be able to have the optimal response in regards to every situation. This is the role of mindfulness.

Go against the grain

To get rid of an old and a deep-rooted habit, we have to go against the grain and always stir things up a bit.

Appreciate every single difficulty which stirs your calmness and peacefulness.

Don't miss the chance to learn from every single difficulty you have encountered.
