How does the digital differ from the analogue?




Do you like to use a digital watch or an analog watch?

Would it be a 50% to 50% ratio of the two types of people around the world?(It needs a study.)

Would it be a mind distinguisher to distinguish people from the other side?

And if you compare the Japanese to the Filipinos, or the English to the Italians,   or Germans to the French......can you see that they are somewhat different from each other?

And human minds are complicated..... It is no way to separate people from different types.  If it is so easy to classify people into a certain type......the whole world will not be happy and people will gone crazy  because no one will believe in classifications.

Please take care. 

If you have found you yourself are digital,  you prefer numbers rather than pictures,  you might very well be an left brainer.  You could be living in the left side of the universal atmosphere.  You can calculate and you can count. You are rich and you might be money oriented.  But You might be lacking  some other mind abilities.   Your feeling is weak.  The external scenario will not be in your care some times.

The other trend is the analog right brainer.   People would say they are crazy.   Actually, they simply don't care.  They will not care about minor details.  Trivials  will not bother them.   They are forgetful and they are absent minded.   They will be losing money all the time,  as their purse is not tightened.  Girls like them,  they think they are artistic  but they will never be serious about them.   They all know that a right brainer  will fail sooner or later.  But they are full of confidence,  they believe they are the successful type.  They believe they will be a billionaire sooner or later,  if girls do not like them,  they will  say:  let it be......

However,  the world is changing and people will change.

Some left brainer will become a miser later.   And some right brainer could become a gambler. (its "some" only.)

And sometimes war games will happen in this scenario.

One last question:  How do you compare the American with the Chinese?

How different are they from each other? Philosophical, historical and psychologically ?

It is a topic to big to answer.....but it is better to make it clear earlier. It will be a long regret if it is not known.

Can human lives become digital one day?

Can human lives become digital one day?



It could only happen in science fictions, but actually it is a warning for human.

You know we have analog watches and digital watches.   But the meaning is far beyond that.

It is only because the sciene of medicine or  mathematical abilities is not able to turn everything analog into digital now.

It could be unthinkable terrible if they can.

It means life can be not a real person, but a digital file.

It is science fiction, but it is stimulating.

Do you like digital watch or an analog watch?

Do you want to know the time in moving real needles or in numbers?

To a very far extent:  do you like to have your own life digital?

You can be eternal if your life is digital,  and be filed into a library....

It's not funny because it is the way people think.

You can start thinking my life means my salary and my salary means 30000........

And soon you will become digital.

And soon you'll find life is meaningless.

Because in that case life would become numbers.

We must always remember we are not digital we are analog.

We are real people with fresh and blood and heartbeats.

Then you will go a correct path of life.

And it is good.

May the heavens bless you.





note 

The following is a simple search about analog and digital.

Skip it if it is too simple.....



 Analog (British spelling: analogue) describes something that uses continuously changing physical quantities rather than discrete numbers or binary code.


In simple terms:


· Analog = continuous

· Digital = discrete / on-off / 0s and 1s


Examples of analog things:


· An analog clock — hands move around a dial.

· A vinyl record — grooves store a continuous sound wave.

· A mercury thermometer — the liquid rises smoothly with temperature.

· An analog radio — receives continuously varying radio waves.

· An analog synthesizer — uses changing voltages to create sound.


In electronics:


· An analog signal can take any value in a range, like 0–5 volts.

· A digital signal only takes specific values, usually 0 or 1 (low or high).


So when people say “analog vs. digital,” they mean continuous real-world signals versus discrete computer-readable signals.




The direct translation of analog is 模拟 (mónǐ) in Mainland China, 類比 in Taiwan, and 模擬 in Hong Kong. But for everyday objects, Chinese often uses more natural descriptive terms instead of the word “analog.”


Analog clock


· 模拟时钟 — technical/direct translation

· 指针式时钟 / 指针钟 — most natural everyday term (“hand-style clock”)

· 传统时钟 — traditional clock

· 挂钟 — wall clock

· 座钟 — desk/mantel clock

· 闹钟 — alarm clock

· 机械钟 — mechanical clock (if it’s mechanical)

· 石英钟 — quartz clock (often analog)


Analog watch


· 指针式手表

· 传统手表

· 机械表 — mechanical watch

· 石英表 — quartz watch (often analog)


Other “analog” objects in Chinese


· Analog camera → 胶片相机 / 胶卷相机 (not usually “模拟相机”)

· Vinyl record → 黑胶唱片

· Analog thermometer → 水银温度计 / 指针式温度计

· Analog scale → 机械秤 / 指针式体重秤

· Analog multimeter → 指针式万用表

· Analog TV → 模拟电视

· Analog radio → 模拟收音机 (technical) / 传统收音机

· Analog synthesizer → 模拟合成器

· Analog signal → 模拟信号

· Analog circuit → 模拟电路


So: “模拟” is used mostly in technical contexts. For everyday objects, Chinese tends to say 指针式, 机械, 胶片, 黑胶, 水银, etc. For an analog clock, the most natural term is usually 指针式时钟 or 指针钟.

What if we are the only one?

 20260915

What if we are the only one?




It is meaningless to know that whether we are the only one or not the only one.

Anyone should be living the same if he has got brothers,  sisters or nothing.

What if you are not double but single?

You need to do the same thing as you are.

You need to be strong and very strong to live on.

You need to be prepared for any difficulties or hardships ahead of you.

Maybe this is the best advice from someone who's been lonely since his childhood.

Yes, you need to stand up on your own feet.

Someone else will not be so lucky if he was covered by an affluent family........

But this might be a common misunderstanding about life.

Will our life be stronger without support?

Can you reach the same mindset even though you are well supported?

Can you fight as hard as you can be?

Will you be as strong as you were poor?

Can you not give up your vigilance?

Yes, it is difficult but.....

you can.

Why the writing patterns cannot be changed?

 20260914

Why the writing patterns cannot be changed?



The simplified Chinese is detrimental if not harmful for the Chinese culture.

With a simplified Chinese writing and publishing method,  the Chinese mind cannot be united.

It seems my voice is not heard.

When the Chinese was simplified many years ago by Chairman Mao,  it seems to be so easy and fast.

Is it difficult turning back?

I don't know the final united date for the Chinese politics.

But the writing pattern is a must to reform.

It is the best way to capture the mind.

Because to capture the mind is to capture everything.

The problem in the Taiwan Strait is suddenly openned.

It needs not a whole army to do the things.

It needs  only a change of mind.

Now there are two ways to do the same thing.

One is to share wealth among  Taiwanese people.

Everyone is happy if you are to give them some.

Two is to share the same culture:   Starting from the traditional Chinese writing.

The problem of the Strait is an easy one.

The cost of a war might be more than 1 trillion.....if it does not last long.

You don't need a war and you don't need to kill  if you can buy it.

From a simple calculation, everyone thinks that the war will be short....... Please don't fall on the same old trap.

The war could be lasting.

What is the biggest variable in China's development?

 20260913

What is the biggest variable in China's development?



The Chinese economy is growing very fast.   But it is still in the second place in the world.   There is still a distance for China to go into the first economy in the world.

But there is a valuable that can make China to grow faster.

This variable is non comparable in the Western culture. 

This is the sole assets of the Chinese culture.

It is meaningless to list the economies into places like a first, second or 3rd.

Due to the uncertainties of the human mind,  it is a must to keep your place.

However, the secret of the Chinese culture is still unknown to the Chinese themselves.

The secret of the Chinese medicine is unknown to them.

The Chinese are only followers but not explorers in the Chinese culture.

No one knows the inner secret of the Chinese culture.

No one knows how the meridian points were found.

The ancient Chinese must have a totally different understanding about the universe and the human body.

Everybody wants a quick answer.

And the problem is not going backwards.

The problem is to search for the secret.

The secrets are everywhere.

The secrets are in the Chinese medicine and Chinese literature and Chinese way of building......

They don't need to build another Chinese palace using only Chinese methods,  but to know how the ancient Chinese people use their brain.

Were they thinking vertically like the ancient Chinese prints?

You will have a different brain if you can think vertically........but I doubt how many young talents are willing to try it.

What is the biggest variable in China's development?

Vertical.......might not be the answer,  but still,  anyone can try it.

Can you make your computer screen or your mobile faces vertical?

If not,  please buy a note pad and write vertically every day.

If the Chinese secret is not found in the next 30 years,  you can say I did try.......and I am still trying.

Is it true that the river never returns?

 20260912

Is it true that the river never returns?



People in Hong Kong has never got a feeling like that.  It is because they are facing the sea, not a river. When you are looking at the sea every day and every moment,  you will not have a feeling that something is gone.

Yes, they are always here.

No one is gone completely.

The spirits are here.

Their deeds are done.

They have laid their stones as human effort.

What are we?

We are efforts.

We are the strength.

Yes, I know that it sounds unreal.

It sounds like a comfort in vain.

But it is true.

It is the meaning of your strength.

Can money buy hearts?

 20260911

Can money buy hearts?



This is an old issue.

There will not be any answer correct, unless a total investigation is held around the globe.

You will get different answers from different countries and different time.

There might not be an universal truth for it.

But still it is interesting if we dig deeper into this issue.

It was the theme for many novels and movies.

And there will not be any direct answer.  People will not know what is really in their own mind unless the last moment comes.

People will say that they are not for money, but their final choice will show their inner sub- consciousness.

Will the so called idealism still valid?

When money is not the only standard for the choice,  then humans will be upgraded.

Let us work harder to upgrade the human race.
