不以物喜,不以己悲

不以物喜,不以己悲 是中国的传统儒家思想,讲究无为心态。是一种思想境界,是古代修身的要求。 出自范仲淹的《 岳阳楼记 》-- 不以物喜,不以己悲,居庙堂之高,则忧其民;处江湖之远,则忧其君。 是进亦忧,退亦忧;然则何时而乐耶?其必曰:“先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐矣!”…… 这句话的外在意思是不因为物(财物、外物)的丰富、富有而骄傲和狂喜;也不因为个人的失意潦倒而悲伤。其涵义是 指无论面对失败还是成功,都要保持一种恒定淡然的心态,不因一时的成功和失败而妄自菲薄,无论何时都保持一种豁达淡然的心态。

Cantonese Birthday Song Lyrics

"恭祝你福壽與天齊 慶賀你生辰快樂 年年都有今日 歲歲都有今朝 恭喜你 恭喜你" Hah, the first time i heard it was probably during one of those slapstick stephen chow movies we grew up with. those were darn mouh lei tao i.e. no head no tail kind, but they definitely whetted my appetite for all these slapstick movies that i seem to enjoy nowadays. i blame it all on stephen chow for my lack of taste in movies. i really do. CJ7 did nothing to save his soul. in fact it sent him further deeper in hell, for attempting to do a movie that is not his traditional slapstick. it's just not right for him to be doing serious movies. not right. stephen chow = ultimate slapstick. please don't be someone you're not.

Postnuptial Depression: What Happens the Day After

Postnuptial depression may not be a clinical diagnosis, but it has entered the lexicon of marriage in the past few years, and newly hitched couples will tell you it's real. The blues typically hit early in married life, psychiatrists say, as newlyweds begin recognizing that expectations of how their partner or relationship will change postwedding are unrealistic. Worse, once the Big Day has come and gone, couples are forced to step out of their much-cherished and often long-lived "bride and groom" spotlight and just get on with real life. .... The so-called honeymoon period, say psychologists, really isn't. But so many couples buy into the myth that when they start arguing about sex, money or time — issues that all married couples battle over — it can seem catastrophic. Gannon finds herself correcting patients all the time. "Where did you get the idea that you weren't supposed to fight?" she says. "You are. It's normal." It's also nor...

Quantum of Solace - i think i need solace

Watched the new bond movie last Saturday. i cannot profess that i enjoyed it much, even daniel craig's brooding charisma couldn't save it for me. it was action-packed of course, as expected of a typical bond movie, but really, where was the story? it started off with a hi-speed car-chase scene with his black aston martin (what else?). lots of near-crashes... for what? don't know . bond had a man in his boot. who's that? don't know . scene jumps to siena in italy where the town was holding a horse race. apparently even "m" didn't know anything about "the group". so why catch the guy? don't know . no explanation. then bond goes on a hunt for Dominic Greene in haiti (french man of course) and meets the half russian girl Camille (the bond girl). high-speed boat chase ensues, of course. then bond follows him to Austria to an opera. bond manages to take some pics of those involved. that was a pretty cool scene. bond indirectly kills a b...
