Youth [转]
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.
In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

Parting memories - 1 [原]
Four years ago, we met in Taipei. I was supposed to be a tourist, but your appearance and presence made me a wanderer.
On my first day in Taiwan University, both of us participated in Taiwan Strait Mechanics Competition for high school students. We were opponents at that moment.
That night, as the winners of the competition and representatives of respective delegation, we had dinner together and cheered with each other. I remember the way the lamplight touched your face, you smiled and told me that your name was Echo.
The next day, you volunteered to become my local guide. You showed me to the night snack bar and we were walking aimlessly on the East Zhongxiao Road, time and again. Suddenly, you turned your head, and our eyes met; a momentary awareness in that hustles and bustles street. You took off your sport belt, and put it in my hand. I felt as though I’d been struck a blow under the heart.

General G.S. Patton, Jr: Address to the 3rd Army
Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.
When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.
Now, an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don't know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating.
Now, we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in the world. You know, by God, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against. By God, I do. We're not just going to shoot the bastards. We're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel.
Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken-out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do.
Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything -- except the enemy. We're going to hold onto him by the nose, and we're gonna kick him in the ass. We're gonna kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're gonna go through him like crap through a goose!
Now, there's one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home -- and you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, "What did you do in the great World War Two?" -- you won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled shit in Louisiana."
Alright now you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel.
Oh, I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle anytime,
anywhere.

On Intuition
Lots senior management say they made big decisions without carefully logical analyzing. In contrast, they believe in so-called “instinct”, “intuition”, “foreboding” or “voices from heart”, or anything like those that they cannot describe with more details.
Then the question is “What on earth is intuition”?
The senses and emotions can help us to make decision, and they are basic factors to form intuition. The emotions can help us filter different choices; that is to say, this process is not realized by most of us, but it does exist.
What is more, the professional judgment can be simplified into certain kind of modes and rules. As a matter of fact, the real talented decisions often seem to need the ability of identifying the similarities with different matters. Those CEOs who got this ability can find the modes neglected by other people, so as to implement a perfect strategy.
But, sometimes we may be blinded by bias or other characters of human being. A common latent demerit of mankind is the attempt to find modes where they do not exist. As a result, self-examination and feedback-review is the key point of success. It should be included into a part of corporate culture.

Independence Day - For T-Mac
The President: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July; and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not go quietly into the night.
We will not vanish without a fight.
We're going to live on.
We're going to survive."
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

T-mac's night
When in Orlando, he was a lonely superstar who was branded as coward or selfish man by the journalists and critics. No one knows his desire for victory.
Once upon a time, it seemed that he was certain to pass the first-round of post-season with a 3-1 lead over Detroit. But he lost at last, which became the nightmare in his career.
Today he was on the brink of elimination again. Yao was not at his best; Sura just couldn’t find the basket; and Dirk, the most dangerous opponent to Rocket, took advantage of his physical strengths to wear him down.
If it is in his destiny, he can do nothing but face the challenges.
From his frosty eyes and lacerated roaring, we felt his will to win. Playing with the desperation, T-mac had 37 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists to avoid the history replaying.
The series is now tied 3-3. He made it to a do-or-die Game 7, as close to the sacred ground of the second round as he has ever been.
“See you in Dallas, Dirk”, he says.
But no matter what happens on this Saturday, tonight belongs to T-mac.

The Art of War 2
Chapter Two Waging War
In operations of war – when one thousand fast four-horse chariots, one thousand heavy chariots, and one thousand mail-clad soldiers are required; when provisions are transported for a thousand li; when there are expenditures at home and at the front, and stipends for entertainment of envoys and advisers – the cost of materials such as glue and lacquer, and of chariots and armor, will amount to one thousand pieces of gold a day. One hundred thousand troops may be dispatched only when money is in hand.
A speedy victory is the main object in war. If this is long in coming, weapons are blunted and morale depressed. If troops are attacking cities, their strength will be exhausted. When the army engages in protracted campaigns, the resources of the state will fall short. When your weapons are dulled and ardor dampened, your strength exhausted and treasure spent, the chieftains of the neighboring states will take advantage of your crisis to act. In that case, no man, however wise, will be able to avert the disastrous consequences that ensue. Thus, while we have heard of stupid haste in war, we have not yet seen a clever operation that was prolonged. For there has never been a protracted war which benefited a country. Therefore, those unable to understand the evils inherent in employing troops are equally unable to understand the advantageous ways of doing so.
Those adept in waging war do not require a second levy of conscripts or more than tow provisionings. They carry military equipment from the homeland, but rely on the enemy for provisions. Thus, the army is plentifully provided with food.
When a country is impoverished by military operations, it is due to distant transportation; carrying suppliers for great distances renders the people destitute. Where troops are gathered, prices go up. When prices rise, the wealth of the people is drained away. When wealth is drained away, the people will be afflicted with urgent and heavy exactions. With this loss of wealth and exhaustion of strength the households in the country will be extremely poor and even-tenths of their wealth dissipated. As to government horses, armor and helmets, bows and arrows, spears and shields, protective mantlets, draft oxen, and wagons will amount to 60 percent of the total.
Hence, a wise general sees to it that his troops feed on the enemy, for on zhong of the enemy’s provisions is equivalent to twenty of one’s own and one shi of the enemy’s fodder to twenty shi of one’s own.
In order to make the soldiers courageous in overcoming the enemy, they must be roused to anger. In order to capture more booty from the enemy, soldiers must have their rewards.
Therefore, in chariot fighting when more than ten chariots are captured, reward those who take the first. Replace the enemy’s flags and banners with your own, mix the captured chariots with yours, and mount them. Treat the prisoners of war well, and care for them. This is called “winning a battle and becoming stronger”.
Hence, what is valued in war is victory, not prolonged operations. And the general who understands how to employ troops is the minister of the people’s fate and arbiter of the nation’s destiny.

The Art of War 1
Chapter One Estimates
War is a matter of vital importance to the state; a matter of life or death, the road either to survival or to ruin. Hence, it is imperative that it be studied thoroughly.
Therefore, appraise it in terms of the five fundamental factors and make comparisons of the various conditions of the antagonistic sides in order to ascertain the results of a war. The first of these factors is politics; the second, weather; the third, terrain; the fourth, the commander; and the fifth, doctrine. Politics means the thing which causes the people to be in harmony with their ruler so that they will follow him in disregard of their lives and without fear of any danger. Weather signifies night and day, cold and heat, fine days and rain, and change of seasons. Terrain means distances, and refers to whether the ground is traversed with ease or difficulty and to whether it is open or constricted, and influences your chances of life or death. The commander stands for the general’s qualities of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage and strictness. Doctrine is to be understood as the organization of the army, the gradations of rank among the officers, the regulation of supply routes, and the provision of military materials to the army.
These five fundamental factors are familiar to every general. Those who master them win; those who do not are defeated. Therefore, in laying plans, compare the following seven elements, appraising them with utmost care.
1.Which ruler is wise and more able?
2.Which commander is more talented?
3.Which army obtains the advantages of nature and terrain?
4.In which army are regulations and instructions better carried out?
5.Which troops are stronger?
6.Which army has the better-trained officers and men?
7.Which army administers rewards and punishments in a more enlightened and correct way?
By means of these seven elements, I shall be able to forecast which side will be victorious and which will be defeated.
The general who heeds my counsel is sure to win. Such a general should be retained in command. One who ignores my counsel is certain to be defeated. Such a one should be dismissed.
Having paid attention to my counsel and plans, the general must create a situation which will contribute to their accomplishment. By “situation” I mean he should take the field situation into consideration and act in accordance with what is advantageous.
All warfare is based on deception. Therefore, when capable of attacking, feign incapacity; when active in moving troops, feign inactivity; when near the enemy, make it seem that you are far away; when far away, make it seem that you are near. Hold out baits to lure the enemy. Strike the enemy when he is in disorder. Prepare against the enemy when he is stronger. If your opponent is of choleric temper, try to irritate him. If he is arrogant, try to encourage his egotism. If the enemy troops are well prepared after reorganization, try to wear them down. If they are united, try to sow dissension among them. Attack the enemy where he is unprepared, and appear where you are not expected. These are the keys to victory for a strategist. It is not possible to formulate them in detail beforehand.
Now, if the estimates made before a battle indicate victory, it is because careful calculations show that your conditions are more favorable than those of your enemy; if they indicate defeat, it is because careful calculations show that favorable conditions for a battle are fewer. With more careful calculations, one can win; with less, one cannot. How much less chance of victory has one who makes no calculations at all! By this means, one can foresee the outcome of a battle.

Once upon a time in France.法国往事之三，The Game [原]
April 7th is the Danone International Trust Day. At first, I was not nervous about the game at all. But in the morning, I met many people. They were greeting me:
“Morning, Roy. Don’t be nervous!” said Professor Wang.
“Take it easy, it’s just a game!” said Stephanie, Danone Robust Recruiting Manager.
“Be yourself!” said Jennifer, our team leader.
After hearing these words, I felt very nervous actually.
Our mission was to analyze a marketing case and prepare our presentation for the final-round selection. In this case, we should decide for Danone Robust whether to launch a sub-brand to increase its market share. When Danone Robust launched their famous drink Mizone, it was positioned as a functional drink. Although Mizone had enjoyed a leadership position in the current FD market, the management team of Robust still wanted to increase its turnover and occupy the market aggressively. They found that sport drink was a large niche market of functional drink, so they were planning to launch a sub-brand of Mizone, which is named Mizone-sport.
The launch program could be dangerous, because the customers might feel confused about the difference between Mizone and Mizone-sport. If the target customers didn’t identify with our new product, it would be a disaster to the original brand image.
The case was so complicated that there were many different opinions in our team. We began to argue with each other. So Until the end of the first session in the morning, we haven’t started to write our scripts. The argument continued and was still at a stand during the lunch. Maybe I was too nervous. Maybe I was too longing for victory. God knows. I lost my temper at that moment, when the sardine was just served.
“We are not going to eat this sardine, unless we can reach a reasonable conclusion!” I said rudely, with the clanking of the fork and knife in my hand.
My voice was very loud and everyone heard. They gazed at me surprisingly and thought that I was going mad. Emily tried to make me calm down. Michael Ma was still pondering himself, just like nothing had happened. Professor Wang looked at us happily, giggled, as if a soap opera was being played.
Fortunately, I regained my nerve after two or three minutes. And we found a clever way to solve the problem. Of course, we killed all the sardine on the table at last.
Jennifer, Emily and Michael Ma gave a wonderful presentation to the management of Groupe Danone and as a result, we got the second place in the competition. In the marketplace, I wanted to apologize to Jennifer about my bad manner in the lunch, but it seemed that she had forgotten it. Singapore team was the champion; the five guys in their team were really active and vibrant. To my excitement, we took a photo with the CEO of Groupe Danone, Franck Riboud,who was a sagacious leader and a kind superior.
4月7日就是Trust Game总决赛的日子。起初，我并不感到紧张。但是在那天早上，我遇到了一些人，他们这么和我打招呼：
“早上好，一会儿可别紧张啊！”王老师说到。
“放松点，只是个游戏而已！”Stephanie, 达能的招聘经理这么对我说。
“我们只要表现出自己的本色就行了！”Jennifer, 我们的大姐头这样说到。
等到我听到这些话以后，我居然紧张起来了。
我们的任务是分析一个市场营销的案例，并就此做一个演讲以参加最后的角逐。在这个案例中，我们必须决定达能乐百氏是否会上市一个子品牌来增加市场分额。当达能的著名饮料脉动上市时，它被定位为一个功能性饮料。虽然目前脉动在市场上无比成功，但是乐百氏管理层仍然希望能够更快地增长业绩和掠夺市场分额。他们发现运动饮料是功能性饮料中一个很重要的子市场，所以他们计划推出一个脉动的子品牌，脉动运动饮料。
上市计划是非常危险的，因为消费者会对母品牌和子品牌的区分感到困惑。如果目标客户不认同我们的新产品，那么对脉动的品牌形象将会是一场严重的灾难。
案例的复杂导致了我们的不同意见。我们开始互相争论。在上午第一部分结束时，我们还没有开始写发言稿。讨论在午餐时继续并且仍旧陷入僵局。也许是我太紧张了，也许是太渴望胜利了，天知道。我在沙丁鱼端上餐桌的那一刻发怒了。
“没有结果，就不许吃沙丁鱼！”我粗暴地说到，并且同时还把手里的刀叉弄得丁当响。
我的声音很响，每个人都听到了。他们看着我，以为我发疯了。Emily劝我冷静下来，Michael Ma仍旧独自沉思，对我的话充耳不闻。王老师高兴地看着我们，一脸傻笑，仿佛一出肥皂剧正在上演。
幸运的是，我在两三分钟之后又恢复了理智。我们找到了一个聪明的方法解决问题。当然，最后我们干掉了所有桌子上的沙丁鱼。
Jennifer, Emily and Michael Ma给达能的管理层作了一个精彩的演讲，最后我们得了第二名。在比赛赛场，我想向Jennifer为中午时的态度道歉，不过貌似她已经忘了。新加坡队得了冠军，他们组的5个人非常的有表演天份。令我高兴的是，我们有机会和达能的CEO合影。Franck Riboud, 他是一个睿智的领导，一个慈祥的长者。

Although Mizone had enjoyed a leadership position in the current FD market, the management team of Robust still wanted to increase its turnover and occupy the market aggressively. They found that sport drink was a large niche market of functional drink, so they were planning to launch a sub-brand of Mizone, which is named Mizone-sport.
The launch program could be dangerous, because the customers might feel confused about the difference between Mizone and Mizone-sport. If the target customers didn’t identify with our new product, it would be a disaster to the original brand image.
The case was so complicated that there were many different opinions in our team. We began to argue with each other. So Until the end of the first session in the morning, we haven’t started to write our scripts. The argument continued and was still at a stand during the lunch. Maybe I was too nervous. Maybe I was too longing for victory. God knows. I lost my temper at that moment, when the sardine was just served.
“We are not going to eat this sardine, unless we can reach a reasonable conclusion!” I said rudely, with the clanking of the fork and knife in my hand.
My voice was very loud and everyone heard. They gazed at me surprisingly and thought that I was going mad. Emily tried to make me calm down. Michael Ma was still pondering himself, just like nothing had happened. Professor Wang looked at us happily, giggled, as if a soap opera was being played.
Fortunately, I regained my nerve after two or three minutes. And we found a clever way to solve the problem. Of course, we killed all the sardine on the table at last.
Jennifer, Emily and Michael Ma gave a wonderful presentation to the management of Groupe Danone and as a result, we got the second place in the competition. In the marketplace, I wanted to apologize to Jennifer about my bad manner in the lunch, but it seemed that she had forgotten it. Singapore team was the champion; the five guys in their team were really active and vibrant. To my excitement, we took a photo with the CEO of Groupe Danone, Franck Riboud,who was a sagacious leader and a kind superior.
4月7日就是Trust Game总决赛的日子。起初，我并不感到紧张。但是在那天早上，我遇到了一些人，他们这么和我打招呼：
“早上好，一会儿可别紧张啊！”王老师说到。
“放松点，只是个游戏而已！”Stephanie, 达能的招聘经理这么对我说。
“我们只要表现出自己的本色就行了！”Jennifer, 我们的大姐头这样说到。
等到我听到这些话以后，我居然紧张起来了。
我们的任务是分析一个市场营销的案例，并就此做一个演讲以参加最后的角逐。在这个案例中，我们必须决定达能乐百氏是否会上市一个子品牌来增加市场分额。当达能的著名饮料脉动上市时，它被定位为一个功能性饮料。虽然目前脉动在市场上无比成功，但是乐百氏管理层仍然希望能够更快地增长业绩和掠夺市场分额。他们发现运动饮料是功能性饮料中一个很重要的子市场，所以他们计划推出一个脉动的子品牌，脉动运动饮料。
上市计划是非常危险的，因为消费者会对母品牌和子品牌的区分感到困惑。如果目标客户不认同我们的新产品，那么对脉动的品牌形象将会是一场严重的灾难。
案例的复杂导致了我们的不同意见。我们开始互相争论。在上午第一部分结束时，我们还没有开始写发言稿。讨论在午餐时继续并且仍旧陷入僵局。也许是我太紧张了，也许是太渴望胜利了，天知道。我在沙丁鱼端上餐桌的那一刻发怒了。
“没有结果，就不许吃沙丁鱼！”我粗暴地说到，并且同时还把手里的刀叉弄得丁当响。
我的声音很响，每个人都听到了。他们看着我，以为我发疯了。Emily劝我冷静下来，Michael Ma仍旧独自沉思，对我的话充耳不闻。王老师高兴地看着我们，一脸傻笑，仿佛一出肥皂剧正在上演。
幸运的是，我在两三分钟之后又恢复了理智。我们找到了一个聪明的方法解决问题。当然，最后我们干掉了所有桌子上的沙丁鱼。
Jennifer, Emily and Michael Ma给达能的管理层作了一个精彩的演讲，最后我们得了第二名。在比赛赛场，我想向Jennifer为中午时的态度道歉，不过貌似她已经忘了。新加坡队得了冠军，他们组的5个人非常的有表演天份。令我高兴的是，我们有机会和达能的CEO合影。Franck Riboud, 他是一个睿智的领导，一个慈祥的长者。
Once upon a time in France.法国往事之二，圣心大教堂 [原]
Basllique du Sacre Coeur was the last stop in the first day. Lifting in the peak of Montmartre, Sacre Coeur represented a perfect combination of the Byzantinesque and rectilineal architectural style. Poets and artists often came there to draw their inspiration from religion and nature.
Outside the church there was a sun-warmed busker who caught our eyes. He was a poor old man, down and out, with many wrinkles on his weather-beaten face. He was playing a harp; a really piteous melody, slowly and sensitively. In the end, he raised his head and looked around pleadingly. All that while, he did not speak. What was he thinking behind his sad eyes? Was he remembering a time when he was young and energetic? Did he dream of being affluent? Of when he was not a poor busker?
I don’t know the answer. When we were about to leave, I took a photo for this man. I hope God could hear his performance and bless the rest of his life.
圣心教堂是我们第一天的最后一站。矗立在蒙玛特高地，圣心教堂代表了拜占庭和哥特式建筑风格的完美结合。诗人和艺术家往往来此从宗教与自然中寻求灵感。
在教堂外，一个沐浴在阳光下的卖艺人吸引力我们的注意力。他是一个穷困的老人，落魄和潦倒，饱经风霜的脸上布满了皱纹。他弹着竖琴。用一种非常哀怨地曲调，缓慢而伤感。曲终，老人抬起头，用乞求的目光看着周围。那段时间中，他一言不发。那双悲哀的眼睛背后他在思考些什么？他是否在回忆他过去那年轻而又精力充沛的日子？或者他在梦想他从未拥有的富足生活？梦想他在未成为一个乞讨者的那段岁月？
我并不知道这些问题的答案。当我们就要离去时，我为他拍了张照。愿耶和华能够听到他的琴声，并保佑他余生平安。

Once upon a time in France.法国往事之一，戴高乐机场，荣军院 [原]
Once upon a time in France
Never realize that time can go so fast until I saw the calendar today. I’ve already been back to Shanghai for more than one week. The days in France were still wandering in my mind. These days were like a dream to me, an extremely fantastic and romantic dream.
It was my first visit to France. So were my teammates. No matter the classical middle-ages architectures around or the cute SMART cars on the road, everything there was strange to us. I felt lost in the fairy tales, because these kinds of old-style buildings can only be seen in the movie.
I thought it was April 6th, 2005, that it was a Spring Wednesday; and as yet very early in the morning. I was standing at the airport of Charle de Gaulle, watching at this ancient and charming city of Paris. At that time, I knew I would experience an unusual journey in my life.
从没有想到时间可以过得那么飞快，直到我再次翻开日历。发现自己回到上海已经一个多星期了。那些在法国的日子仍旧历历在目。好像是做了一场梦，绚丽而浪漫的梦。
这是我第一次来到法国，我的队友们同样是第一次。无论是周围充满古典意味的中世纪建筑还是路上可爱的smart小轿车，一切事物对我们都是那么新奇。我仿佛来到了童话世界，因为那些老式的欧洲建筑通常只见于电影之中。
那一天是2005年4月6日，星期三，一个春天的清晨。我终于站在了戴高乐机场，注视着这个古老而迷人的城市。那一刻，我意识到，我将会迎来一场在我一生中，极为不平凡的旅程。

In the afternoon, we went straight to the Hôtel National Des Invalids – a military museum of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, the greatest man that ever existed through the European History, slept there forever.
I read his legend from my childhood. A young Corsican boy who became a victorious general; a young general who became the invincible Emperor of French; No matter the mysterious birth or the glum death, his striking story was the most illustrious chapter in the history book of Europe.
Hôtel National Des Invalids is a majestic building with a golden hemispherical housetop. As a military museum, naturally, it has great amount of weapons and materiel once used in the Second World War or Napoleon’s Expedition. The rusty swords and the shabby chariots witnessed the brilliant but bloody war during Napoleon’s rule. We can imagine that even the most gifted man errs who, in dealing with humanity, depends upon his own insight and intelligence and discards the moral law of society, created by respect for the individual, and those principles of liberty, equality and fraternity, the basis of our civilization, and the essence of Christianity.
When I saw his tomb, I felt a strong poignant emotion around there. That man’s fatal attraction remains alive…Yes, I can feel it. So Sire, sleep in peace; from the tomb itself you labor continually for France.
那天下午我们径直赶往了荣军院-法国的军事博物馆。欧洲历史上最伟大的人物，拿破仑.波拿巴在那里长眠。
我幼年时开始读他的传记。从一个科西嘉男孩成长为一个常胜将军；从一个年轻的将军成长为战无不胜的法国皇帝。无论是他神秘的出身还是他那离奇的死亡，那曲折的故事始终是欧洲历史教科书上最灿烂辉煌的篇章。
荣军院是有着半球形镀金屋顶的宏伟建筑。作为一个军事博物馆，那里陈列着二战和拿破仑远征时的诸多武器装备。生锈的宝剑和破旧的战车见证了宏伟但是充满血腥的拿破仑时代。可以想象在处理人性问题上，如果仅凭个人的见解与智慧，无视法律，人文和宗教，无视平等自由博爱的原则，那么即使是最具天赋的人，也难免一败。
当我看到了那个人的坟墓，我感受到了那周围一种强烈的感伤情绪。他的致命魅力到今天仍旧栩栩如生…是的，我可以感受到那种热情。所以，陛下，安息吧！你英灵仍在，你仍然在为法兰西服务！

压力
代数里面有一个很重要的分支叫做群论，群论对概率论，方程论的贡献很大，它的建立解决了方程可解性的问题，因此人们了解了五次以上的方程是不可能有求根公式的。我这篇文章不是想讨论数学问题，我想谈谈群论的创始人——惊才绝艳的数学家加罗瓦
作为抽象代数的一个高深理论，很少有人能够想到，群论的基础理论是在一夜之间奠定的。
19世纪，年轻的数学家伽罗瓦为了爱情与对手决斗，对方枪法高明，他自知凶多吉少，但是为了荣誉不得不出战。决战前夜，他问自己，如何度过这最后的夜晚？为了证明自己数学理论的价值，他先写了绝笔信。信中写道：“我请求我的爱国同胞们，我的朋友们，不要指责我不是为我的国家而死。我是作为一个不名誉的风骚女人和她的两个受骗者的牺牲品而死的。我将在可耻的诽谤中结束我的生命。……。请公开请求雅可比或高斯就这些定理的重要性而不是正确性发表的他们看法。在这以后，我希望有人会发现将这堆东西整理清楚对他们是有益的。”
整个晚上，他焦躁一气地写着他在科学上的遗言。想在死亡之前尽快把他丰富的思想中那些伟大的东西写出来。他不时中断，在纸边空白处写上“我没有时间，我没有时间。”这些旁注和当年费尔马幽默地在费尔马大定律旁写下的“地方太小了，我写不下定理的证明”比较起来多么的凄凉和悲壮！接着伽罗瓦又写下一个极其潦草的大纲。他在天亮之前那最后几个小时写出的东西，一劳永逸地为一个折磨了数学家们几个世纪的问题找到了真正的答案，并且开创了数学的一个极为重要的分支----群论。
那一年，伽罗瓦20岁，学习数学仅五年。
决斗前夜，加罗瓦忍受了巨大的心理压力（第二天就会死掉），完成了许多数学家穷毕生精力都未完成的数学推算。那种常人无法想象的压力，足以令人崩溃，却激发出了加罗瓦超人的潜能，一个人能够承载这种压力，他的一生即使短暂，也能够如流星划过夜空般辉煌华丽。
加罗瓦一生坎坷，他在法国七月革命时因支持民主共和被学校开除，后又遭诬陷入狱。生前，他的数学论文也从未曾得到别人的认可。
我不了解加罗瓦在他20岁的那个晚上心理究竟在想什么，他是否痛苦？是否哀怨？是否恐惧？是否还有遗憾？我不得而知。我只知道他在那个晚上燃烧了自己的生命，达到了巅峰….
第二天上午，在决斗场上，伽罗瓦被打穿了肠子。临死前，他对在身边哭泣的弟弟说：“不要哭，我需要足够的勇气在20岁的时候死去。”死后，他被埋葬在公墓的普通壕沟内，如今他的坟墓已无迹可寻。
我过去很懒惰，贪睡，从来没有熬过通宵。然而，在我大二上的期末，我却彻夜未眠。那一个晚上，我因为一个学期没有去上过一节电路分析的课而感到莫名的恐惧。老师是电子系有名的“关公”。而我之前一页书也没有看过，那一个晚上，我整晚没有睡。我拼命的理解那些复杂电路，不断的计算，直至清晨。我没有喝咖啡，没有喝红牛，吃西洋参，但是我始终不感到疲倦，巨大的压力使我清醒。凌晨，甚至我尝试躺倒床上，仍然无法控制自己的紧张。于是我回到书桌上看了一个晚上的书，整个晚上我都感到恐惧，害怕和紧张…..
最后我却考了90分，在那个严格的老师手中，这已经是少有的高分了。
时过境迁，才华横溢的加罗华早已归于尘土，甚至连我当初电路分析的老师，都在不久前撒手人寰。然而，我却时时想起我大二上的那个晚上，因此当我读到加罗华的传记的时候甚至几乎要落下眼泪。人的潜力是无穷无尽的，给自己多少压力，就会有多少进步。所以，珍惜从今天开始的每一个夜晚……………….

光荣与梦想
发现一件很有趣的事情，就是中国人的理想是递减的。中国的小学生往往有着远大的理想，比如成为国家领导人，伟大的科学家，或者世界首富。到了中学阶段，由于考试的折磨，那些可怜的孩子就务实了一点，比如希望自己每个月能有多一点的零花钱，比如希望自己能考上个不错的大学，等等等等。最后，中国的大学生是没有什么理想的，有人说，中国的学生是从大学开始堕落的，这种说法有一定的道理。大学生除了翘课，上网，玩游戏和谈恋爱之外，就基本对生活没有什么期望了。虽然在期末的时候，很多的人理想是就成了不挂课，不过了解中国的高等教育体制的人都知道，在中国的大学里，有一两门不及格是没有什么大不了的，而且，如果你能够搞到上一届的卷子或者和任课老师保持良好的关系，这种理想是很容易实现的。
像我这样的人已经不多了，因为我的理想和小学时没有什么太大的差别。而我已经快要大学毕业了，一个23岁的成年男人，在漫漫的成长旅途中，自己的理想居然没有进步过，还和乳臭未干的时候一样，确实有点说不过去，我知道我需要反省，免得别人说我长身体不长见识。所以我在参加trust game的时候，我们的leader,一个凶悍的女强人，一直用naive这个非常恶劣的英语单词来对我进行人生攻击。
我应该不是一个上海男人。我不喜欢做家务，为人锋芒毕露。我有着日本人的完美主义精神和韩国人的凶悍强势。参加比赛能够让我对自己有个更全面的了解，我纯粹是为了比赛而比赛，并不是为了丰厚的奖金或者是积累找工作的资本。
我虽然很年轻，但是我这一生却有很多起起落落，不为外人所道。低潮的时候，我是一个倒霉的初中生，在一所没什么名气的中学里读书，落到这种地步的原因是因为中考的失败，那个阶段，我是普陀区各大游戏机房一个有头有脸的人物，我下午放学就去游戏机房，殴打别人或者被别人殴打，接受着别人鄙夷的目光，他们觉得我是个小流氓。过几年，我或者是一个落魄的大二学生，成绩不好不坏，长得不丑不帅，职位不高不低，朋友不多不少，这样的人在学校里是不受欢迎的，所以我大学四年没有谈过恋爱。高潮的时候，我是一个踌躇满志的高中生，是上海四所理科班中的尖子生，高二的时候就是高三物理竞赛的二等奖。高三的时候是理所当然的一等奖，当时上海的物理竞赛，名次能在我前面的人，算起来没有多少个，或者是一个春风得意的大四学生，天天在GE的实验室上上班赚赚实习工资，回味着在创业大赛上发表获奖感言时的得意，并且和一帮朋友在为trust game的冠军而努力。
由于我不是一贯的乖孩子好学生，也不是一贯的差生和流氓，因此我有着不同的朋友，高材生的朋友和留级生的朋友，在这里我要说明的是，小流氓之间的友情是很可贵的，不要小看这种感情，王家卫《堕落天使》里面有句很经典的台词：“很多人以为我们没有朋友，其实，杀手也有小学同学的”。因此我也明白，在我落魄的时候，嘲笑和讽刺比同情要多，真正的伤痛没人知道;在我得意的时候，不满我狂妄的比为我高兴的多，真正的快乐没有人分享。人与人的关系发展到今天，空前的冷漠，因此我现在宠辱不惊，我不会像别人诉苦，因为没有人会感到悲哀，我也不会炫耀，因为没有人会羡慕。
我知道我这一生不会一番风顺，因为天将降大任于斯人，必先........我已经习惯了，在低潮的时候，我已经不是那么绝望，因为我相信有一天我会起来。在高潮的时候，我也不会那么忘形，因为我担心一不小心又跌下来。起起落落，我可以笑看风云。受到惩罚，我不再抱怨，我会忏悔。受到奖励，我不再傲慢，我会感恩。无论等待我的会是什么，我都带着积极的心态。
这就是我想要的生活，我有得意的时候，也有失意的时候，不过我的每一步都走得无怨无悔。我不会退缩，快也好，慢也好，我都在执着的前进，对，就是滚石乐队的那句歌词：一旦你让我开始，我就不会停止(If you start me up, I will never stop).

Danone Trust International Business Game
终于拿到了Danone Trust International Business Game Country Final的冠军，使我们交大蝉联了这项虚拟商业游戏的全国冠军。我们也因此有机会代表中国，去巴黎参加全球决赛。关于比赛，有很多感想，打算等到从巴黎回来以后详细写之.....
上帝无语
北欧一座教堂里，有一尊耶稣被钉在十字架上的苦像，大小和一般人差不多。因为有求必应，因此专程前来这里祈祷，膜拜的人特别多，几乎可以用门庭若市来形容。
教堂里有位看门的人，看十字架上的耶稣每天要应付这么多人的>要求，觉得于心不忍，他希望能分担耶稣的辛苦。
有一天他祈祷时，向耶稣表明这份心愿。意外地，他听到一个声音，说：「好啊！我下来为你看门，你上来 钉 在十字架上。但是，不论你看到什么、听到什么，都不可以说一句话。」这位先生觉得，这个要求很简单。于是耶稣下来，看门的先生上去，像耶稣被钉在十字架般地伸张双臂，本来苦 就雕刻得和真人差不多，所以来膜拜的群众不疑有他,这位先生也依照先前的约定，静默不语，聆听信友的心声。
来往的人潮络绎不绝，他们的祈求，有合理的，有不合理的，千奇百怪不一而足。但无论如何，他都强忍下来而没有说话，因为他必须信守先前的承诺。
有一天来了一位富商，当富商祈祷完后，竟然忘记手边的钱便离去。他看在眼里，真想叫这位富商回来，但是，他憋着不能说。
接着来了一位三餐不继的穷人，他祈祷耶稣能帮助它渡过生活的难关。当要离去时，发现先前那位富商留下的袋子，打开，里面全是钱。穷人高兴得不得了，耶稣真好，有求必应，万分感谢地离去。十字架上伪装的耶稣看在眼里，想告诉他，这不是你的。但是，约定在先，他仍然憋着不能说。
接下来有一位要出海远行的年轻人来到，他是来祈求耶稣降福他平安。正当要离去时，富商冲进来，抓住年轻人的衣襟，要年轻人还钱，年轻人不明究理，两人吵了起来。

人生的事，没有十全十美。
但是，我们应认真活在当下。
送给你一段『马斯洛』说过的话：
心若改变，你的态度跟着改变；
态度改变，你的习惯跟着改变；
习惯改变，你的性格跟着改变；
性格改变，你的人生跟着改变。
在顺境中感恩，在逆境中依旧心存喜乐，认真地活在当下。
成长是一个慢慢失去的过程
学会舍弃 看着破碎 最后漠然
就这样
我们渐渐长大 学会没有怨言
教堂里有位看门的人，看十字架上的耶稣每天要应付这么多人的>要求，觉得于心不忍，他希望能分担耶稣的辛苦。
有一天他祈祷时，向耶稣表明这份心愿。意外地，他听到一个声音，说：「好啊！我下来为你看门，你上来 钉 在十字架上。但是，不论你看到什么、听到什么，都不可以说一句话。」这位先生觉得，这个要求很简单。于是耶稣下来，看门的先生上去，像耶稣被钉在十字架般地伸张双臂，本来苦 就雕刻得和真人差不多，所以来膜拜的群众不疑有他,这位先生也依照先前的约定，静默不语，聆听信友的心声。
来往的人潮络绎不绝，他们的祈求，有合理的，有不合理的，千奇百怪不一而足。但无论如何，他都强忍下来而没有说话，因为他必须信守先前的承诺。
有一天来了一位富商，当富商祈祷完后，竟然忘记手边的钱便离去。他看在眼里，真想叫这位富商回来，但是，他憋着不能说。
接着来了一位三餐不继的穷人，他祈祷耶稣能帮助它渡过生活的难关。当要离去时，发现先前那位富商留下的袋子，打开，里面全是钱。穷人高兴得不得了，耶稣真好，有求必应，万分感谢地离去。十字架上伪装的耶稣看在眼里，想告诉他，这不是你的。但是，约定在先，他仍然憋着不能说。

Lucifer 堕落天使的故事
我在MSN上的名字叫做Lucifer，很多人不明白这个单词的本意。Lucifer在拉丁文中是晨晓之星的意思。其实这个单词暗指上帝创造出的第一个天使路西法尔。路西法尔是上帝给他的名字，远不及他后来的名字来得响亮——撒旦。
圣经上说，上帝最早创造出7个天使来帮助他改变世界。Lucifer是这7个天使中第一个被上帝所创造。是7大创世天使的首领，他的法力远胜过其余的天使。
后来的故事说起来很复杂，上帝渐渐对天使失去了信心，因此创造出了亚当和夏娃，并要诸天使向他们臣服（这其实是上帝放弃天使的一个信号）。但是，这导致许多炽天使的不满。结果以六翼天使Lucifer为首的天使从天堂叛逃，带领三分之一的天使进行了抗争。这就是第一次天使战争的起因。由于叛军人数很少，反叛的天使被纷纷打落。只剩下Lucifer一个人独立支撑，后来上帝附身在亚当身上（就是后来耶稣的原型）将Lucifer打落天庭。Lucifer掉了7天7夜，落到了地狱。伊撒亚书中这样记载那个场景：“14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! ”。堕落之后的Lucifer背上六支金色的翅膀也变为黑色。因此他改名为撒旦，成为堕落天使的首领。当时他说，宁在地狱为王，不在天堂为仆。后来撒旦引诱亚当偷吃禁果，让亚当一同堕落，从此人世间就有了灾难和疾病。并且Lucifer和上帝约定千年一战。
Lucifer和堕落天使军团的故事见于圣经原书。由于这些章节会使人们怀疑神的存在，因此一直为教廷视为禁书。在现有圣经当中只是模糊的提到他们的名字。
第一次看到堕落天使的故事的时候，觉得Lucifer所作所为有可议之处，但是桀骜不驯的性格远比上帝的虚伪来得真挚的多。没有堕落的天使也最终是上帝用来惩罚别人的工具，并最终被彻底抛弃。善恶在这里很难说清。

风间伤情人
这是我一个网友的名字。刚进大学时，曾经痴迷过一款很有名的格斗游戏叫做《侍魂~天草降临》，后来在网络上查找功略时看到了一篇作者名为风间伤情人的游戏功略，写得相当精彩。作者留了QQ号，因此我将他加为了我的好友。后来我们在网上交流游戏心得，还谈一些个人经历。风间兄是性情中人，他当年痴迷游戏，因此女朋友和他分手，他后来还在网上写过缅怀这段感情经历的文章。我经过他指点，游戏水平有了很大的进步，在交大01级的男生宿舍当中，已经没有几个人是我的对手了…..
后来大学的生活渐渐紧张起来，我上网的时间越来越少，风间兄早已工作，奔波于各地，我们就慢慢很少在QQ上遇到，也就逐渐断了联系。
今天上MSN的时候，突然觉得有点无聊。于是我又打开了很久没有用的QQ，突然看到列表上风间子的网名，想起自己还有这样一个特殊朋友，很想念他，于是留言，不过我想他可能也不太会上QQ了。因此我写下这篇文章，纪念这个和我从未见过面的朋友。
