Is there anything can provide communication besides the atmosphere?

Almost all the communications are using  atmosphere.   Anything "on air" is on the atmosphere.

The atmosphere is open to everybody on earth.  Therefore the atmosphere is not safe. Your enemy can reach you through the atmosphere.

Can we find something to communicate without using the atmosphere?

Yes.

For example, the electric networks can be used to communicate.   The wire is more safe than the air.

Another network is the water network.   Water pipes are everywhere in the cities and villages.   Can they use the water pipes to communicate?

Yes, it is another place outside the atmosphere.

There are two systems of water pipes in Hong Kong.   One system is for drinking water,  The other system is for toilet water.   Because Hong Kong people use sea water in the toilet.  

Can these water pipes be connected and be used to communicate?

If all communications can turn underground,  without exposing in the atmosphere,   the world will be safer in future wars.

Where to start for a million jobs?

Where to start for a million jobs?

I was waiting on the roadside in Hong Kong for the rain to stop.   I have no idea about this rain.  Will it stop in 10 minutes or 30 minutes?

I decided to give it 10 minutes.  

It didn't stop, but I didn't care. I needed to go.

And suddenly this thought occured in my mind:

千頭萬緒從何著手?

The meaning is simple,  yet the resoluion might be subtle:

"Where to start for a million jobs?"

I suppose the job is a huge job.  It needs 300 years to finish.   And now you are responsible to a start.

What shall I do?

Can I start by singing a song?  

May be it is a good idea........

What is the meaning of "having"?

What is the meaning of "having"?

夢裏有時終須有,  夢裏無時抱枕頭

空虛莫非無所有, 問天無語愛欲愁

What we can carry on is a spirit only.   We can have everything if the spirits are strong.   We will have nothing if the spirits are gone.

It is not in your fate.

It is in your dream.

Happiness are true with a dream.

Sadness are true if the dream is gone.

note

Spirits are not money

Spirits are love

Why is China not necessarily the East?

Why is China not necessarily the East?

The term China means central.  It does not mean the East.

And the world is not divided in East and West.   The concept of dichotomy might create unhappy results.

But if you study the Chinese way of thinking, it is different from the Western way of thinking.

It seems most of the Chinese are right brainers.     The writing system they use shapes the way how they think.

No matter it is a simplified Chinese or a traditional Chinese,  it is completely different from a spelling language.

For example, if you see a word 鳥 , there will be an image to tell you it is a bird.   There is no sound in the image.

If you use English to say or read it,   there will be a sound including the spelling in the image.

Chinese words are just different from the spelling language.  It needs not to "translate" the sound into image.

...........

China is not necessary in the East,  but it seems that they are in the right side of the brain more.

The right side needs not to fight with the left side:   It is too childish.

It seems that the Chinese are mostly right brainers while the Western people are mostly left brainers.

They need not to fight each other, or look down on each other.  They are good friends like your own left and right hands.

What is the prospect of a future East‑West conflict ?

What is the prospect of a future East‑West conflict ?  

It will be another day when the East is red and the West is dark,  or when the East is dark and the West is dawn.

Will the problem between the East and the West become a major issue?

And most important of all: can the problem be controlled?

Or the problem has its own way of growing?

Will there be a future world war between the East and the West?

Can humans settle their problem with only one means of war?

Can they try other method to settle their problem?

The problem will be shown in the issue of Taiwan in a not very long future.

If the problem can be solved peacefully and delicately,  then the East-West conflict will be postponed a few more years,  but it will not be disappeared.

What is the future of a non-solvable conflict?

Time is not on the side of the West.

It is because:  the East is on a upward trend, while the West is going downwards.

Is there any other unknown issues ahead?

note:

The East-West concept might not be proper for a future history.

The world is not divided like that.

The world is a circle and it is rolling on day by day.   The East can become West and the West can become East.

Victories are all mine

 

出師大捷身未死

沉思探索宇宙心

天人合一境何在

問書無語費沉吟

上窮碧落潛深處

老榕散葉藏好音

心中困惑未停止

抬頭看見鳥在林

Victories are all mine and I am still alive

Where is the cosmic heart

How to unite  heaven and man

The question is speechless and stumbling

Up the blue sky and deep into the sea

Old banyan leaves hide good sounds

Puzzles in my heart has not stopped

Looking up, I saw birds in the tree

What is the value of time?

 20260710

What is the value of time?

This could be a serious matter but if you take it too seriously, you cannot sleep.  Time is important,  but why is it important?  It is because wasting time means wasting life.   And sometimes you need time to rest.  And sometimes you need time to prepare yourself. And sometimes you need time to have some amusement. If there is no amusement, you cannot think.

The most important issue about time is the judgment..... If you know what is important and what is not important, you will not be wasting time.

Albert Einstein never wastes time combing his hair..... but if I do the same,  and keep my hair dirty,   I will not be another Albert Einstein.

The point is to know what is important.
