 How do you make people happy?

This is the most important simple way of life.

If you can make people happy, then everyone including yourself will be happy.

Is it difficult to make people happy?

It is so difficult that you dare not even try to make people happy?

May be not.

To make people happy is so easy sometimes with only a smile.

If you can smile, please smile.

This is the secret of daily life.  And this is the secret in politics too.

Sometimes you need to give away something to make people happy.

If it is to give, then why not?

It seems to be very simple,  it needs only to try.

What did Trump proved to the world?

 20251030 B

What did Trump proved to the world?

The United States President Donald Trump had visited Asia this few days.

He had proved only one thing:   that there will not be major wars between the powers.

Tariffs are only bargaining tools.

There will not be a fight when you are talking.

Bargaining is talking.

When people are talking they will not fight.

The only remaining issue is Taiwan.

And it won't be big difficulties if deep thoughts are underneath.

You only need to make people happy and that is easy.

It needs not a war to make people smile.

When the United States President is gone,  another brighter agenda is waiting.

What is wrong with left brain dominance?

 20251030

What is wrong with left brain dominance?

Left brain dominance was very clear during the second world war.

And it was very clear in the Japanese behavior.

Japan is a sub-division of the Chinese culture.

They invented a set of alphabet for the Chinese characters.  They thought it was more easy to use the Chinese characters.

And they were turning their right brain dominance into left brain dominance without knowing the results.

They can only calculate in a very simple way.

They calculated their steel and coal production and they counted their numbers of soldiers and they thought they could conquer the world easily.

The same might happen today, if the left brain is still not balanced.

People can calculate their war planes,  war missiles,  and the number of their warheads,  they thought they can conquer the world.

They do not have a total aspect of the whole scenario.

Chinese had almost fell into the same trap.  Some intellectuals had tried to romanize the Chinese characters.  Luckily they were not succeeded.

We need a total view about the world affairs.

It is not a simple calculation in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

We are in the era of a whole brain dominance.

Wars will not happen easily.

Humans have lots of methods to solve problems.

Humans must be helping each other but not killing each other.

..

What if China wins all?

 20251029

What if China wins all?

 

It won't be a long time or it is happening right now that China is the major influential factor in the world.

In a word, China acutally wins all.

It will be the era, not of China but of the right brain dominance.

China is only a political term for a country.   From the point of evolution view,   it is the major shift from the left brain dominance to the whole brain dominance.   Humans will be judging all the human affairs in a more reasonable and more practical sense.   When the left brain can only use logical calculation to judge, the whole brain can manage all sides of problems.

What will happen if humans can see themselves in a total aspect?

It will be a true step forward in evolution.

People will be easily resort to violence and war if they can only use left brain calculation.

Now the situation is completely different.

The world will be really changing within a few years  if  people can learn to use the Chinese language,  and therefore helping themselves to shift the brain from a left dominance to a more balanced whole brain using,  world peace and a real progress of mankind will happen.

Can you put an air-mat under your wheels?

 20251028

Can you put an air-mat under your wheels?

Then you can change your habit of driving into skiing.

It is not a flying car,  but a skiing mover.

Important is the air-mat.

Can you create an air-mat under your wheels?

You don't need a jet engine to create the air-mat.

An air-mat ship is supported by jet engines, and the concept is rather old.

Can you do something on the tires to create an air-mat?

Yes, it could be slippery.

And slippery is what we wanted. We need an air-matted tire.

Future cars will be slipping around but not rolling around.

If you can make an air-mat,   you are almost there.

The car will be slipping around like a poker card.

Did you see how the poker cards flying on the gambling table?

They are all supported by an air-mat underneath.

To create such a slipping car needs time,  and money.

More important is time, it means your life-time, if you are lucky enough to have investments.

Are you willing to use your time for it?

Like James Watt invented steam engine?

Why it is a pleasure to write in Chinese?

 20251027 B

Why it is a pleasure to write in Chinese?

                 龜   

This is a Chinese word: turtle.

I remember I cannot write it properly until I was in my early twenties.  I was a columnist since then.   One day I found I could not write this word and I was amazed. I sat down and used a few minutes to figure it out.  It was stayed in my brain from that time since.

Writing in traditional Chinese is a pleasant time.  

Why?  Why it is a happy and  treasurable experience?

Yes, we will have less and less need to write in almost any language.

You need to write no more.

You only need to say it.

Do you know how much of the pleasure you have lost?

I have been writing millions of words because I am a writer. I used to write with my ball pen.

I used to write very carefully.   

Because I am not writing for myself. I was writing for the printing factory workers.

They need to select the appropriate lead type from my manuscript and arrange it into small wooden cases for typesetting.

Handling the metal types can darken their hands, they are often nicknamed the ‘Black Hands’ . The manuscript is for their reference; if it isn’t written clearly, they may select the wrong character.

Writing could be a pleasure because you are writing for your readers.  I remember when I figure out how to write properly of the word "turtle",  it was so happy.

This is a simple understanding of the Chinese writing.   I believe in the future the Chinese will not accept the simplified characters anymore.  They will realize it sooner or later.   Because it is very practical and it is very beautiful,  especially in a moment when you need not use your hand to hold the ball pen to write.

You only need to use your eyes to read the words from the screen.  

Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao are the only places for traditional Chinese characters.

Every one will be happy reading traditional Chinese prints.

Traditional Chinese will come back sooner or later.

Taiwan people will be super happy about that.

It will be a joy.    It is more than happy.

How to encourage reading?

 20251018

How to encourage reading?

You need to have a pair of eyes, and you need to have a book.

How the book was printed is also important.

You need a good resolution of the printing.

If the printing is in a bad resolution,  you will not like to read it.

Simplified Chinese is in a bad resolution.

It is not so dense as the traditional Chinese.

Everybody knows it but few would like to talk about it.

And videos are more easy.

You don't need to use your brain to enrich the images from the words.

It is harmful for the brain. And it is harmful for the culture.

Why no one cares about it?

Because it is politics.

..

It needs a very strong will to correct this.

How to encourage reading rather than eating?

 20251026

How to encourage reading rather than eating?

It is not easy, it is difficult, but it is a must for humans.

Your enemy would like very much to encourage eating in your own country.

Bad merchants would like very much to encourage eating in your home.

Because it is lucrative.

Evil thoughts are behind lucrative thoughts.   A nation of foolishness is easier to handle and  to destroy.

Reading can make people looking up,  while eating can help people looking down.

Efforts to push people going up is difficult, yet  extremely important and necessary.

A country of reading is a strong country. People will have a wider eyesight and they will search for a better future for humans.

And the problem is how,  when the absolute trend is going down.

Will there be a effective and real effort to encourage reading?

Eating and luxuries of life are spreading everywhere.  Fewer and fewer people are reading on the train.  They are not using eyes but fingers to stroll on the mobile.  Any country will be upwards if this trend is changing.

Can you find anyone holding a thick book like Dream of the something or the Monte Cristo on the subway?  You found sunshine inside the subway.

Question is how to encourage reading.

..

Will there be fewer readers in the future?

 20251025

Will there be fewer readers in the future?

Readers are not the same as watchers. Watching videos is not like reading books.

You can sit comfortably inside a cinema to watch movies.   Or you can sit anywhere or stand anywhere to read a book.  And you can read your book when you are walking.   I used to read books when I was walking home after school.  Motion pictures keep running  inside your brain.  You are helping the writer to create motions and colors and sounds.

Of course, you understand what I'm talking here.  Because I think reading a book is better than watching videos.  It can help the whole generation be smarter and wiser.

Wisdomatic love is what we need in our time.

I have found a new term "wisdomatic love",  believing you know what I mean and need not to explain.

Can we encourage more readings and less watchings?

The trend is going on and no one knows what will happen in the near future:   if young people do not like reading anymore.

What is your story line?

 20251024

What is your story line?

Everybody has his own story line, but the line is always finished upon his death.   Only a few people could have a line after his death.  Those are influential people.   Not everyone can be influential.  It is nothing about money and position,  but the golden deeds of one's life.

It was said that life is like a lamp.  The lamp will be off if people is dead.  

Some of the lamps could last longer than expected.  The lights are still there for a very  long time.

I am  reading the Alexandra Dumas story about Monte Cristo recently.   There is an amazing storyline in the book.   I never expected things would happen that way.   It is life.   Every life has got a story line differently.   Some lines are straight and simple.  But some lines are curved and difficult.   The curved place is from attractions and difficulties.   If you are the storyteller,   you must have lots of story lines in your stomach,   you will use them to tell stories.

And there will be storyline for a country.   It won't be straight like the US, and some times there will be ups and downs and deep curves like China.

You need to have all the curves for a strong mind.   History is the same.

There won't be a straight line for a great country.

How do I read Monte Cristo?

 20231023

How do I read Monte Cristo?

It's just a different feeling when you read it in your old age.   First time I read it was eleven,  now I am seventy seven.   Actually, the feeling is the same,  though I can understand it more than before.

Reading a book is completely not the same as watching a movie.  Because the book can provide only language lines for you to read. The reader need to use his imagination to complete the scenario. For example, what does Monte Cristo look like?   Is he tall or short? Or, is there any mustache in his mouth?  You need to use imagination to enrich the words and the action.  You will have your own story within you. If it is in a movies,  you will see an actual actor acting and imagination is reduced. That's why reading can help to develop a brain more.

I was reading my own version of Monte Cristo in my home.  I was enjoying it last night like when I was eleven.   All the feelings have come back. Maybe for the first page I was reading it word by word.  The words are lined up vertically  because it was in Chinese.  I thought I will not try to find an English version or French version,  and I can't read French. The Chinese version gave me warmth.  Although the places are in France,  but the feelings are in China.  Only a talented writer can do this.   You forget everything when you were in the story.  It is the actual feeling ended up in your brain, but not the printed words.   The words are not there.  Although I still need to read it in a traditional Chinese version.  Languages are but a bridge.  You need a good bridge, but you need them only temporarily.  Actually, what you need is the story line. And deeply what you need is the spirit.   You need to free yourself from all the prisons in the world.   You were not allowed to do many things.  You are not free.   But now you are completely free from everything in the story.  You can join Monte Cristo to escape together from the tunnel.   You can make a knife from a spoon like him.   I keep a knife in my pocket since I was eleven from then on.  It was a gift from Monte Cristo.  I thought all men should be like him,  and me too.   My knife was confiscated by a teacher when I was twelve years old.   It made me sad.  The spirit is still here with me together,  thanks for the traditional Chinese version of the book.

No one can take it away from my mind. It is my treasure,  it is mine.

If someone asks me, what do you have?

I know I have the answer.

And I will ask in return:

And you?  What do you have?

How to destroy smart young people?

20251022

How to destroy smart young people?

  

I  was almost shocked when I read about how former French president Nicolas Sarkozy left his home for prison.

He had brought two books with him to prison.

One is a religious book, and the other book shocked me:  It was Count Monte Christo by Alexandre Dumas (père) which I had mentioned not long ago.  I had finished reading that book since I were 10 or 11 years old.   I thought that must be a very good book because I can remember some of the scenes until now.  If I were in prison in the future,   I believe I will do the same as the Monte Cristo,  the hero in the book.

And now President Sarcozy  was about to enter prison, and he was bringing the same book with him.

What is left in my mind is not how good is the book, but how important is reading.

You will never know how important is a book which can help you activate your own brain,  but how important it is to activate your whole nation with good brains by reading.

It is a task more and more difficult now.

It is almost impossible to encourage young people to read.

Most of the young people were obsessed by TV or mobile games.

Of the three important functions of the brain:  receiving,  processing,  and delivering.......first important is receiving.

You will be far more smarter than other people if you can read.

You will be much smarter than other people if you can avoid the negative effects of videos. Videos provide color, images, sound, and other means to prevent your brain from working. You do not need to engage your brain for scenarios; they will provide everything, and you will remain a fool for the rest of your life if you only consume videos and never use your own brain to create anything.

When I was reading  Monte Cristo in a Chinese translation,  I can imagine how he managed to use a spoon to dig a channel to excape his prison room and found he had not exited the prison but entered the next prison room......

I cannot stop here because the story was too exciting.

He had entered the room of a very old prisoner who had taught him many things about life before he die.

Monte Christo disguised himself as the dead old man and let the prison guards put his own living corpse into a canvas bag to throw him into the sea and  excaped under water by cutting open the bag with his knife which was made by a sharpened spoon when he was in the prison room.

Why I can remember it after all this years?

It is because I have received the story through reading.

It was not received through a TV channel,  but a book in three volumes.

I still remember I finished one volume in one day and exchange it the other day from the school library.

And today I am worried about my own country young people who were given too many video stimulations to replace their ability to produce their own inner stories through reading.

There will be less smart young  people in the future,  if their interest in reading were destroyed.

What is "Zhong Guo" ?

 20251021

What is "zhong guo"  ?

I do not know how the term "Zhong Guo" was translated into "China". There must be a history in it.

Interesting is the word "Zhong".

Zhong is not a leader. Zhong is not like the East or the West; they all have connotations of direction. Travelers head toward the East or the West, but the word Zhong does not convey a sense of direction. There is no point of “Zhong” on your compass.

This reflects the basic attitude of  the Chinese people.  They do not regard themselves as leaders. It is part of their culture and history.

Zhong means a place in the middle. It is a place between the left and the right, or between the East and the West.

How would you feel living in a place like this?

You need to feel it by your own experience.....

Can we wake up from money?

 20251020

Can we wake up from money?

This is a problem of m and m.

Most of the people are sleeping in a dream of money.   What they are searching  for their whole life is only for the word "m".

Until one day they would die suddenly.  And we would all know that everyone will die.   But still, there are some difference.  

Some people are dying without waking up.

What are you living for?

Are you living for only money?

They have never think of the meaning of money.

You need a meaning for your own life.

Money is on your only satisfaction for eating and living and no more.

There will be one day for people when they found everything is meaningless,  it will be really sad by then.

Yes, we need to put out our efforts,  and we need to see the result.   You need to see the fruit of your hard work.

It is not only a figure in your bank to show your work.

You need to see something more substantial.

You need to be happy when you are finishing your work.

You need to have some satisfaction.

Only a meaningful job will give you this satisfaction.

We need to check the result of your satisfaction every day and every minute.

If you don't check it,  you will lose it.

It is your biggest treasure.

The meaning is your biggest treasure to work for it.

Try to wake up from your dream of money.

Do you have a meaning in your life?

Do remember it and do not forget it.

Please mark it down in your notebook.

What is danger?

 20251019

What is danger?

Danger and safe are relative concepts only.

No one can absolutely sure if it is safe or dangerous anywhere, anytime.

But still you need to live.

In an unknown world,  our knowledge is very limited.   You can never know what your enemies have in mind.  

But one thing is for sure.

Your enemy will not know you either.

Your enemy will not know whether you have secret weapon or not.

Its important to keep yourself well guarded.

An old article

Why Sometimes Peace is Impossible? .

  

It is because the much stronger enemy wanted to destroy you.

It is always like this.  Cases are serious.

It is a life or death determination.

And it is an examination:  can anyone beat a much stonger enemy?

 The weaker side can prepare it well ahead before  things happened.

It is seldom to have such a simple understanding.

People need to wait until the danger is at the front door. They will have very little time to escape.

Want peace with your enemy?

Want to persuade your enemy to retreat?

But they are determined.

Someone encourages you to talk with them. 

Those people who encourage you to talk with your enemy is more dangerous than your enemy.

Please be well prepared.

Same  happened in China 2000 years ago.

When the enemy is not attacking you,  but they are attacking  your neighbor.

They dare not even to warn the enemies that they are prepared to fight. They only send gifts and lands to make the Qin Emperor happy.

It  needs to know that you will be the next target.  And they are determined.

When American  attacked Korean  Peninsula, it was said that  Mao zedong  had used nine unslept nights  to figure out the things and determined to fight directly.

That was a very short time.

But he might not be awared  that his real enemy was from within.

American people knew the  exact location of his son who  was in   Korea battlefield and killed his son.   The psychological result had hurt deeply afterwards.

People argued that this is not true.  But one thing they can never answer is that how could the enemy knew the location?

It needs not a talent to know all about this.

If your  enemy is prepared  and determined to destroy your country, it is a must to know their determination. It's  important to be well prepared before everything.

Keep an eye on the enemies with in, but they will argue that your neighbor is more dangerous than your enemy.

It is so funny.

What if I cannot know the secret of the universe?

 20251018

What if I cannot know the secret of the universe?

It is the same as a good dog.   The dog cannot know your secret but the dog is still a good dog.

Some dogs are from a wealthy family.   And some dogs are from a poor family.   They couldn't even afford to feed the dog,  but still they try their best effort to share with the dog.

If you are the dog, what do you think?

In this case, dogs are better than humans.

A dog's loyalty is never changed,  though the dogs will not know what's going on in the human world.

I love my parents even though they are very poor,   I will not desert them until my last moment.   I will not be no better than a dog.

Now we are humans..

Now we are under some unknown situations.

The dog never know how his human master manage to live.   But a dog is forever a good dog.

Now we don't know our master.   And we don't know our fate.

At least we can be a little better than the dog, or at least we are as good as a dog.

What is the meaning to compare humans with a dog?

It means we can be standing up,  on our two legs, and be a true human.

We cannot know all the secrets of the universe,  but we can know what we ought to do and what we ought not to do.

Sometimes, dogs are our teachers.

Are the positive and the negative equal?

 

20251017

Are the positive and the negative equal?

.

They are not eqal.   The positive is bigger than the negative.  It is only a glimse coming into my brain suddenly.

It might relate to the next question.  And the next question is far more important than this.  The next question is:  What is the most important Top secret about this universe?

No one on earth has ever answered that question.

Now we try to get into the first question first:

Why are the positive and negative not balanced?

Why are the positive is always bigger than the negative?

為什麼陽大於陰？

If they are the same,  the earth will not be rolling.

There will be no motive to grow.

It could be completely not the same as the ancient people's thought.

Ancient people thought that the positive and the negative are the same.   But it needs not be true.

There is very obviously a positive motive exists.

The motive is to live, to grow, to chase for brightness and to quit darkness.

The motive is for everyone.

That means the positive is bigger than the negative.

 Is that enough?

 No, it is not enough.

 There is an important meaning hidden:

 Where is the positive coming from?

Or the question might be changed:

Does it need a source for the universe and everything?

If there is no source for the beginning,  will there be some very smart spirit emerge from nowhere and can be the main spirit in the universe?

Now we have returned to the old thoughts:   The spirit and the material.   They are not the same.   And you can doubt:   Are they really not the same?

Allow me to think more on this subject.

如果陽大於陰, 那麼, 陽從何來?

..

Why you need to be positive?

 20251015 B

Why you need to be positive?

The universe was composed by positive and negative forces.   You will see most of the humans are positive.

It is easy to be seen.

The majority of people are positive.   And you can hardly find anyone is negative.   Only an exceptional few people are negative people.

Maybe they are hiding themselves.  No one will tell you he or she is negative.  

But for everyday observation,   actually, the majority of people are good people.

Maybe the division of positive and negative is not countable.   Maybe it is only a spirit or a kind of strength in the human mind that divides humans into two types.

It is very strange.

Most of the humans admit themselves are positive,  though wars has never been ended.  However,  the evil side always lost in wars.

Why there are wars on earth?   One side must be positive and the other side must be negative.

But in either side of the war,  people always insist they are in the positive side.

No one admits evil.

Although quite a few people are evil minded.  They will never tell you the truth.  Until they are in jail or in some kinds of desperate situation,  they might  repent sometimes, and admit they should not had joined the bad side.

A positive way is the common consensus of humans.

You can say humans are hopeful in this aspect.

What is the basic thinking pattern in China?

 20251015

What is the basic thinking pattern in China?

It is important for the world to know about this pattern.

People will fall in a trap of confusion  if they do not know thinking patterns.

There is no thinking pattern in many places.  People just do not know why there are differences among people.

They thought they were only for land and money.  And this is the basic thought of the ancient bible.   Anyone obeys can have land  and resources.   Anyone thinking not the same is enemy.

What is wrong?

The problem is not on the leaders.   The problem is on an ancient culture.

The Chinese way of thinking is subtle and not easy to understand.

It will be very confusing if you enter a  university and study the philosophy of ancient China.

But if you know the basic differences, you will not be confused.

Basic thought about Chinese culture is that they thought the universe can be viewed from two sides.

One is positive and the other is negative.

You cannot do away one another.

You only need to know which side you are in.

Are you in the positive side?  

The positive means warmth,  sunshine, daylight, or just.

And you cannot do away with the negative side,  it is the same with day and night.  Day and night are together always.

What is the basic thinking pattern in China?

The Chinese choose the positive side always.

It means sunshine and smile.  

If the world people know about this theory,  foreign affairs and politics will be much easier.

Why does the dog not dare to bully the cat?

 20251014

Why does the dog not dare to bully the cat?

 It is because the cat is like a tiger, but the dog is no better than a wolf.   

 The same can be seen in the US-China conflict.

 A clever dog will know he can never beat the cat.

They will live together peacefully unless the dog is mad.

What if the dog is really mad?

It is a rare chance  to see a dog fighting with a cat.   But if they do fight.....

The cat will flee at once.

But if the cat is nowhere to escape?

If you have seen them fight, maybe you will know who is the final winner.

But you will not have a chance to see.

The dog is strong and fierce.   But the dog is much slower than the cat.

Which one is the winning cause:  speed or strength?

The cat is fast to attack.

The cat can scare away most dogs, but not a mad dog.

Because a mad dog doesn't know what is pain.

Is it only a fight between strength and speed?

Can a good brain help you to win,  when you are the weaker side and when you have nowhere to escape?

At which point will you choose to attack?

It is so exciting and no one would stop thinking.

Because you will have no time to think on the spot, unless you have premeditated and practiced many times in advance.

The faster side with a good brain can win.

What is the difference between fine arts and music?

 20251013C

What is the difference between fine arts and music?

When I was writing for a newspaper column and before I was fired,  I have some friends working for fine arts.   I need to send  my articles each day to them for editing.

 I am a music lover but they are not.

 They are fine arts people.

 It helps me to think the difference of fine arts and music.

Fine arts can give you some external satisfaction about life.

Music can strengthen your inner force for your life.

You will feel strong if good music entered your mind when you are working.

You will feel happy when you are in a good surrounding, like a garden or a higher class  restaurant.

Fine arts  can make you feel happy,  but music can make you feel strong.

Fine arts is external.

Music is internal..

Both of them are important.

But in my inner feeling, music is more important in the sense of a civilization.

Children with music will be stronger.

Children with fine arts  can appreciate life.

If a child cannot appreciate life,  life will be a misery,  and there will not be strength for the child.

External help and internal help is equally important.

But if you can have the time for only one of them.

It is not a problem of choice.

Because your feeling is born.

If you are a born music lover,  no one can take it away.   And it is true also for fine arts.

Which one is more important? 

One very good  Hong Kong school has a rule for their children: Every student must learn one musical instrument.  It is said that the result is very good.

Why music is not useful in innovation sometimes?

 20251013B

Why music is not useful in innovation sometimes?

 I believe music can help the brain when it is composing something.   Music does not stimulate, but music can strengthen the mood.

It's my own personal experience.

I used to write in music.   Whenever I have found a point,  when I have started writing, music can help me smooth things out.

Music cannot "give" you a good idea.

There is no stimulation effect of music. 

Sometimes you feel your brain is empty and you have nothing to say,  it is a good time for you to rest,  or it is a good time for a walk.   Music cannot help you.

I used to write for a newspaper column.   They have a deadline for me every day.   I need to finish my work on time.

In that case, music cannot help.

There is no stimulation effect of music.  In another word:  there is no inspiration in music.

If you are clueless,  or when your brain is empty,  do not try music.

Music can help only when you have alread a route of thoughts in your mind.   Your inspiration is from somewhere else,  not from music.

Music can help you to strengthen the thought.

*  *  *

Music is like coffee.

Coffee cannot give you inspiration.   But when you have already had an inspiration and when you sit down to start working on it,  music can help you to smooth things out easily.

But why music is still important in innovation?

It is because music can help you to build your personality.   Although music cannot help you directly,  but a life with music is beautiful.  A life with music is innovative.

Music is not a useful "thing".   Music is not a tool on the shelf.  It cannot be used instantly.

If you do not like music, do not try to use it.  It is useless.

Why innovation is so difficult?

 20251013

Why innovation is so difficult?

Innovation is not difficult.   Difficult  is negligence.  No one cares if any naive young(or old) people invented anything.

And negligence is money oriented.  

Anything without a prospect of wealth will be discarded.

In a money oriented society.  Money itself is the major threat of development.

People are absolutely reluctant to do anything not related with money.

If you are a naive young people and if you are interested in things that is not profitable,  the only result is you will get older each time.

A naive young man becomes an experienced but useless old man.

The society will be same as nothing had happened.

And the next threat is digital numbers. People respect only two things:  one is money ofcourse,  the next is anything comes with figures.  Anything backed up with  statistics is truth.

 Innovation without statistics will be disregarded.

***

The above thoughts about innovation are true.

More important is the following:

Innovation is something tariffs cannot prevent.

Tariffs can refuse traditional products.   But tariff can be easily broken by new innovations.  

The world will be renewed under the threat of tariffs.

What is the major obstacle in thinking?

 20251012

What is the major obstacle in thinking?

Fear is the major obstacle in thinking.

People often refuse to think.

The fear is so heavy that people dare not even trying.

It needs to have a mind behind action.

Why fear?

People wish to survive with easy.

People do not know if they want to survive first they need to fight.

Fighting may end up losing.

Fearlessness is supported by a willingness to sacrifice.

Fearless to strike is winning.

People might not know:  thinking is a form of fighting.

To think is to fight.

I did not realize the story of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (père) is so important in my growing up years.

The prisoner was imprisoned for his whole life.  How could he escape?

He started with a spoon. He used the spoon started digging under his bed....... If he had not started,  he will stay there forever, everything will be meaningless.

We need to start with a spoon if we are not prepared to stay forever in the prison.

The point is:  not everyone thinks that he is in prison.

Can you find a tool to break the levels?

20251011

Can you find a tool to break the levels?

A grade one student needs one whole year to enter grade two.

Students need a lot of efforts and prerequisits to enter an upper level.

I think we might be grade one students as well. The worst part is that we do not know what prerequisites are needed for us to see future scenario of humans.   For the time being, we can only "believe" science to help us going up further.

Science seems to be important to help us think.

But science can also be a barrier to stop us from thinking.

For example, can you imagine you can fly outside the solar system?

Modern science prevent us from thinking like this.

Science will tell you many of the prerequisite in flying.

If so, you can never see the situation of humans in this universe.

Because your time is limited and your space is limited.

You have no more than a hundred or less years of age,  and you cannot fly outside the solar system.....it is an iron rule of science.

The worst part is you cannot even imagine.

You will always stay in the grade one level.

How can you break the levels if you have no time and no space?

It was because science had forgotten one thing:

Science is opposite to imagination.

And you cannot fly without imagination.

And you will not know how limited is the modern science.

Can you fly in the vacuum of the space?

You need to have some more imagination to break through the levels and then you can see the future scenario of humans.

We are the only humans in this universe.

What is our role in this universe?

We can help in the evolution of this universe.

What if you know the ultimate purpose of human beings?

 20251010

What if you know the ultimate purpose of human beings?

The ultimate purpose may be a little far away.   But the imminent purpose is easier to see.

The imminent purpose of human beings is to spread themselves.

It is not only to spread around the globe.

Humans will be spreading around the entire universe.

There might be technical problems.   But technical problems will not be a problem anymore in the future.

Humans will be like seeds equipped with inner essence.  They will spread all around the universe.

It may or may not be a "fate" for humans.

It is only natural.

Humans will be living better and better, and humans will be more and more.

When humans find the globe is not a  space for them, they will fly, or migrate.

The scenario is very clear.

There must be some change for the globe,   if the globe is completely covered.

There must be some change for the entire universe,  if the universe is also covered.

It might not be a bad thing.  It could possibly be good.

Because the planet needs a change.

Because the universe needs also a change.

It is a reasonable logic to think in this way.

But we need to give up our logical thinking.

You can foresee a beautiful scenery ahead.

Humans will reach the outer space in time.

Humans will find a completely beautiful scenery in the future.

And by the time humans will be human no more.

They will become super-humans.

If there is only one super-human on earth,  it is a good plot for a novel.   But if all humans are transformed  into super humans,  they will change the entire universe.

It is a funny game.

It is realistically possible.

It is true.

Can we reach outer space?

Every one of us and every bit of us are included.  It seems to be a sudden feeling explosion in my mind.

The answer is positively yes.

Yes, we can reach the outer space and it is sure.

Every piece of human efforts and all human productions and humans themselves can reach the outer space in time.

No one is excluded.

Not one small bit is excluded.

Everyone is transforming.

Everyone is transforming itself into an inner essence of our planet and will be  solidify into a whole piece. The piece will be very small like an atom.   Every bit of this inner core will explore together with the whole solar system.  We will reach the outer space by that time.‘

It is a sudden imagination from my mind.

It occurred only a few seconds before. It is just like a daydream. And I believe it is  true.

This is the outcome of humans.

Because humans are useful.  All our efforts will change and save into an inner core. 

We will be explored into the outer space.

We will be seeds.

We will be everywhere in the whole universe.

All our efforts will be stored into the inner core. There will be a time for the efforts to spread around the universe.

It is beautiful. It is useful.

There will be a transformation for all of us.

The transformation is needed for us to spread.

All our efforts:  minds, thoughts, tears, laughs, civilizations, materials. etcetera and etcetera will be the essence of the core. 

Not one bit is lost. Not one bit is wasted.

We will be flying in separate directions into the outer space.

We will be everywhere.//

Why taking initiative is important?

 20251009

Why taking initiative is importalnt?

  

It is in the first chapter in "Zhuan Zi Art of War". 

 Many new books appeared recently under the same title 莊子兵法.  I hope the fake ones can also touch the insight in Zhuang Zi.

Why taking initiative strike is important?

People used to held back because they want peace and they would avoid confrontation at all cost.

They can never understand the inner secret of confrontation is to keep yourself in the controlling position and taking initiative to strike is the key to control.   It is the first theory developed by Mao Ze Dong:   Fighting is the only way to gain unity.

It needs a deep thought to initiate the act.

Example is the Gaza problem.

Plight of the hungry people in Gaza is a call to those concerned.  They are children, same in your home.

It seems easy,  but it is an inner function in the brain as a basic motive.

Sending food is not an easy task.

It is the first act against the major enemy.

It is a delicate move,  because it is in the major nerve in your enemy's fear.

To hit is to win the future.

What if we have no teacher?

  20251008

What if we have no teacher?

 It's a serious question for our civilization.

 In the late Ching period,   the question was whether to learn from the West.

 But in the mind of the best Western intellectuals,  they were suffering from the same question already.

 They thought  they need to learn from the East.

 But the time will come to a point  one day.  You will not have a teacher all around the globe.

And it is not a question about teachers.

It is a question about where humans are going.

It is a question you have to face sooner or later.

You have to face it on your own.

Many older people have the same experience.

Their teachers were gone one by one.

The only thing left is only books.

But books will become old and will be gone sooner or later.

You will have no teachers and you will have no books.

What are you going to do in such a situation?

And the time is already arrived.

It needs awareness.

If we are sleeping and are not aware of anything like that.....

There will be trouble.

How important is the purpose of life?

How important is the purpose of life?

Last night is the mid-Autumn festival.   I joint with relatives to celebrate.

It was like most other celebrations.   The only activity is eating.  Lots of foods and fish are provided.

A hearty meal is a pleasure.

All the evening is about eating only.

It is the everyday life of common folks.

When economy is ok and when you can afford to eat,  you can eat as much as you like.

What is the major concern in life?

It is not a concern.

What is important for humans?

 20251006

What is important for humans?

Can I say that the true, the good, and the beautiful are of utmost importance for us humans?

There are different translations for these three terms,  however, they are not important.   Important is everyone knows what it is about.

Strange is that we can know what is true and what is beautiful easily.   

Only it is very difficult to decide whether it is good or bad.

Sometimes you know it is true and sometimes you know it is beautiful:  But you don't know whether it's good or not.

It is very strange.

Why sometimes we can lose our judgment about whether things are good or bad.

Because it needs time to prove whether it is good or bad.

And people need to know whether it is good for all people, or good for only a few.

The final judgment is always for all human beings:  including future humans.

What does it mean?

It means you can better decide whether it is good or bad in a wider sense.

The butterfly

 20251005

 The butterfly

A butterfly was trapped into a vehicle tunnel accidentally.

There was never a concept about tunnels in the life of butterflies.

She was living in a hill near the city.  She never knew that there was a way for the cars coming in and out of the tunnel.

She never knew where the cars were going to and where the cars were coming from.

It was not her concern.

She needs only sunshine and flowers.

But one day she entered the tunnel accidentally without knowing where she was going.

The sudden change of atmosphere scared her.

She tried to fly higher and faster inside the tunnel.

There was no sunlight and the smells are strange.

She tried going back.  But she cannot know which was the way out.

She asked herself where am I going to.

The headlights were scary.  The headlights seemed running to her every minute.

She tried to fly to the other side more.

And suddenly she found she was following a line of red lights.   Those were the tail red lights of the cars.

She did not know now she was following the other direction of cars.

However, the tail red lights are more comfortable than the white head lights.

She flied and flied.

And she started to doubt:   "Am I going to the right direction? "  " Can I leave this tunnel following these red lights?"

She dare not go to the other side because the other side were all bright white lights running to her.

However she wanted to try.

Maybe the opposite side was the direction to the exit.

She was a brave butterfly.

Now she was flying on the opposite side, directly confronting the white lights.

She was hoping she can leave the tunnel very fast.

In the world of a butterfly,  there might be no concept about direction  and there might be no concept about exits.

Maybe she's got some instinct different from human beings.

She knew where the flowers are.   She could live very well in the hills.

But now she was in the tunnel.

She had to live with humans in the tunnel.

Where should I be going?

If she went to the other side,  there were white lights ahead.

If she went to this side,  there were red lights ahead.

Now she was tired.

Because she had tried this side many times and the other side many times.

She was a brave butterfly.

She never wanted to give up.

She always tried to fly once more,  to either of the directions for an exit.

If she was not so strong and if she can close hers eyes to fly,  she might got out already.

But she tried again and again without knowing she was making a circle inside the tunnel.

She  asked herself many times:  Should I go this or that side?

When she was extremely tired and thirsty,  she was lucky to faint on the cargos of a long truck.

She did not give up,  she just fainted.

The truck carried her out.

When she opened her eyes she found sunshine again.

It was her happiest moment,  but still she did not know what had happened.

Can the shock of beauty bring peace on earth?

 20251005

Can the shock of beauty bring peace on earth?

The parades in Tiananmen square recently is a shock of beauty for some people.

You can never expect beauty can be shown on the lined up legs and arms of  foot soldiers.

People are shocked and stunned.

They are paying respect in their sudden feelings.

Why beauty can be a shock for some people?

Because they can never achieve it themselves.

If the world is changing,  it is changing like this.

A sense of beauty is the morning light of the world.

 ......

It is an important signal.

You can never expect world peace is achieved in such a way.

 But there is a big question ahead.

What next?

..

Why a sense of beauty is important?

 20251004

Why a sense of beauty is important?

There was a time when people thought only eating is important.

And then righteousness is also a choice.

However, a sense of beauty is also important.

It is not only important for our eyes.

It is important for the total surroundings.

If you see that is beautiful,  actually, it's more important than a full stomach.

People like beautiful restaurant more.

And people will enjoy a drink in a better cup.

It is more than natural.

It is because we have always a sense of beauty in charge.

Do you think the sense of beauty is in charge of the universe?

Sunshine, moonlight, the sea and the hills are always beautiful.

And your lover is beautiful too.

Only vulgar people choose money more than a sense of beauty.

However, beauty is only important in everyday life.

Beauty seems  not important in politics.

 

Can you tell me why?

It is because:  coordination is a movement of beauty.

The purpose of politics is a perfect coordination, which is beautiful.

What if I can't plan everything?

 20251003

What if I can't plan everything?

We humans are living in the condition of an uncertain allowance.

Maybe it is not uncertain.   It is only uncertain in the longer term.  For the time being, we are certain.

What do we have?

We have a brain,  we have a heart.

All the rest is not so important.

You can have land,  water,  and other necessary things, but they are never important if you don't have a brain plus a heart.

If we are to say thank you to the unknown allowance,  brain and heart are the most valuable allowance.

Now what?

What are we going to do with our brain and heart and all the other necessary supports?

If we cannot answer this question, we would be in danger.

Some people only want more.

It is good if they can.

But affluence can kill.

Afflence can kill future ambitions.

If you are rich, always remember you still need to go and do not stop even you do not know where you are going and then,  you can think:  if you still have time.

What is your agenda of life?

 20251002

 What is your agenda of life?

Maybe "agenda" is not the  proper word here.

You need an agenda for your meeting,  but  I don't know what you need for your life.

 Sorry I cannot find a proper word for that.

 Maybe it is a "theme".

 Maybe it is an "aim".

 Maybe it is not an aim, it is only an "attitude" in your life.   When you have a good attitude, then can you have a good direction?

 We as human beings cannot have a good direction without a good attitude.

 We don't know the aim of human beings.

 We can only roughly know what we humans should do.

 We don't even have an unclear and vague term for it.

 However we are still going to a certain direction.

 And our attitude is "love".

 Please note that love cannot be an aim.

 Love is only an attitude in doing things.

 However it could be painful lacking this attitude.

 And now we have an  hypothesis that few or even no one can refuse "love".

 It is good but it is not enough.

 We are still in a state of no agenda.

 You see how a meeting can be held without agenda?

 A group of people sitting together shouting but nothing is achieved.

 They have no aim and they have no agenda.

 And this could be the real situation of human beings.

 If I could say something,  I will say,  one of the aims is to search.   To search for the unknown is one of the aims.

It cannot be the major aim of every life.

But it is a must of the world.

 Please note some points here:

 Love is an attitude.

 We cannot take attitude as an aim, though we ought to love.

 Our future aim is not clear.

 We don't know where we are going.

 Things could be more difficult if this situation is denied.

Why the Chinese are happy?

 20251001

 Why the Chinese are happy?

Today is the seventy sixth birthday of China. Chinese people are happy.

 Chinese people was not happy before.

 Miserable days are not easy to forget.

 And miserable events are still going on because  the underground party is too strong.   They represent  foreign powers and they are ready to do anything to hurt Chinese people.

It needs to mention here:

The promotion of earthly pleasure seeking (吃喝玩樂)

had faded away for a period of time.

 And now suddenly  returned.

 Some of the propaganda changed the wording,  some didn't.

 The underground party is still promoting it.

 It is not only a few cases.  It covers almost all the propaganda fields.

 It means there is a power underneath working very hard.

 Human beings need to have a theme in their life.  If the theme is weak,  or if the theme is forgotten,   the opposite extreme will come back.

When people are submerged in the propaganda of earthly pleasure seeking,  they had long forgotten the meaning of life.

 And they will not know how their life has been so well nowadays.

 It is completely not the same like the years before 1949.

 But the general public will not aware of it.  The younger generation has no feeling about it too.
