Can there be two tigers in one mountain?

Can there be two tigers in one mountain?

Someone answered:  "Yes, because they are male and female."

And this is a very special moment in international politics.  Can there be two major powers coexist in this world?  

The answer could be the same.

"Yes, unless they are married."

It means conflicts will become obvious in an unexpected moment.

There could only be one major power in this world:  To share the planet is not easy.

No matter how many powers can survive in this planet,  the number will decrease gradually, until there are only two..........

There will be a miracle for humanity if the two major powers can coexist for a long time.

There will be extremely fierce competitions between these two major powers.

It could be unthinkable if a major war happens.

However, history will allow unthinkable things happen.

Nothing is unthinkable.

So the possibility is:

Prepare yourself: starting from the early beginning.

It means more than war preparation.

Culture preparation is more important.

How to balance love and wisdom?

 20261006

How to balance love and wisdom?

Love is an inner feeling. Wisdom is an inner knowing.

You feel it doesn't mean you know it.

It needs a lot of processing inside your mind.

Until one moment you know what to do.

Simple and delicate.

You feel it, you know it, and then you do it.

Sometimes there's a pretext  like a cloth to cover the inner knowledge.

Something is trying to prevent you to exercise your inner feeling.

Feeling must be very strong, strong enough to turn yourself into a conviction.

With a true feeling and with a true conviction,  you'll be 天下無敵 invincible.

Are gimmicks useful in pushing the economy?

 Are gimmicks useful in pushing the economy?

There are gimmicks everywhere in the market.

Sometimes gimmicks can be useful in sales. But it could be very bad in the long term prospect.

Appearance and packaging are not important; what matters is the substance of the product.

It is a point to argue:

Do you need a large TV screen in your car?

It is only a packaging.   If you put money and investment into the TV screen,  you will neglect the true performance of the car.

Gimmicks are productive:

Gimmicks can produce a bad impression, by a lesser  concentration in the performance of the product itself.

My friend drove me home by his new gimmick car.

It is beautifully decorated with a large TV screen inside.

However, the TV screen cannot reflect the real road situation.   It was always wrong and not punctual.

It was almost completely useless for the driver.

It will be perfectly ok if you can use that TV screen to drive instead of a driver.

But actually you cannot.

You need to pay for the TV screen, but it is useless.  The car was bumping and shaking for the whole journey.

Gimmicks could be harmful for future economy.

How beautiful are the butterflies?

How beautiful are the butterflies?

I can imagine,  if you can enlarge the image of a butterfly into a wall,  people will be shocked by its beauty.

It is easy to enlarge a photo,  but it is not easy to put yourself into the scenery among the flowers.

I wonder why the creator need to create such beauties for us.

The beauty is not only in the color, but in the  motion.   It is in the way how they dance in front of your eyes.

You'll be amazed when you try to catch them.  The sense of beauty is much more stronger when you are failed to touch any one of them.

Yes, they are untouchable.

Beauties are not for you to capture.

Beauties are for you to join.

You can dance together with them.

They will know you are joining.

What are you sharing together?

Is it the sunshine?

Of course not.

You are thrillng and sharing in the feeling of happiness.

And you can blow some soap bubbles to join them.

They will be delighted.

Don't forget to bring soap liquid next time when you are going to join them.....it is lucky that children never forget to bring them.

What is the best way to settle problems?

What is the best way to settle problems?

Money is fast, but it's not the best.   It is a very simple calculation：   If you are to share with  the China Taiwanese people,  how much is needed?

People seldom thought about this.   Giving away money is a really bad thing to encourage greedyness:   It was the very old Chinese mindset.

Many of the problems in the history of China were settled by military options.

And of course people knew it that the most important issue is the mind, but it is always forgotten.

Giving, by its nature, creates a certain senses of intimacy between the one who gives and the one who receives.

It must be the best way to settle the Taiwan strait problem.

How much would military expenses needed if a war is broken?

Now it can be easily settled by money.

Money can solve political problems and win hearts.

For example, if you can give a million to each of the male and female adults in Taiwan, the amount would be cheaper than a war.

Wars could create losses instantly and aftermath:  the aftermath expenses were always neglected or forgotten.

What will not appeared in the account books are human feelings:  namely,  the mind.

Mind is the secured bonding between people of the same origin.

Try it before disputes.

note

Our actions are all led by the mind. Mind is the master. If one acts or speaks with a defied state of mind, then suffering follows like a cart-wheel that follows the foot of the ox.....

If one speaks and acts with a pure state of mind, then happiness follows like a shadow that remains behind without departing.

Why money is the fastest way to settle problems?

 20261002

Why money is the fastest way to settle problems?

If money can be used, then arms can be useless.

Few problems cannot be settled by money.

It is because money is the will of most people.

If you can buy will, you can buy everything.

Money cannot buy truth and money can not buy true love.

But money can buy property, money can buy houses, money can buy land and money can buy......an island.

Even the whole island of Taiwan can be bought.

What is the idea?

How?

Money can provide you with the method and planning and everything.

To buy an island is not impossible.

It is safe and it is fast and it is possible.

There is only one problem remains:

If you have gained time,  how are you going to use it and not waste it?

Why buying is better than fighting?

 20261001

Why buying is better than fighting?

You can always have a choice when you buy.  But there is no choice in fighting.

Buying creates satisfaction, fighting creates hatred.

Money can do many things.   If you can give,   you will have more than what you wish.

Buying is more than commercial.

Buying can be political.

At least you can show your will when you buy.

What you pay is money, and what you gain is many.

If you can pay, you will find you can get more than any war can give you.

The Taiwan issue is a money issue too.

Everyone will be happy if you can share a fortune with them.

And there will be unexpected return for you.

What is the extra benefit?

It is the most precious one.

You can take years to prepare and then years to fight..... And you are not sure how fast can you win.

But if you can pay......

Don't you know what you will get?

It is a 4 letter word.

It is:     t-i-m-e.
