A man is not a man if he doesn't make the world a better place...

The blade isn't the only part of the sword...

Do you really think that Knighting these men will make them better fighers?!
Balian: Yes...

Your quality will be known among your enemies, before ever you meet them...

A king may move a man...
A father may claim a son...
But remember that even when those who move you be kings or men of power...your soul is in your keeping alone...

No one has claim...
All have claim...
We defend this city, not to protect these stones, but the people living within these walls...

Suspension

- movement that grows by the timing of breath...
it must be recreated with each new breath...
the body is always in movement...
it soars in constant movement...
it never freezes...

On the stage...
we have to become that character and believe in that life...

all this takes time, study, and hard work...

To stop growing is to die as an artist...

The only ones that knock on a door in a place like this are ghosts or villians...
and ghost don't exist in this world, so...
what's left is just troublemakers...

In branding, there are no pure success stories and there are no pure failure stories...
Usually, successes and failures coexist within the same brand...

- Matt Haig (brand ROYALTY)

How can we expect to produce a vital performance if we don't recreat the work every time???

Every year the leaves of the trees reappear with the Spring, but they are different every time...

Practicing to learn something always ends with failure...
Learning cannot occur without understanding the process of a particular task...
The difference is not practicing to learn something, but to reinforce skill and knowledge by practicing something that has been learned or taught by a teacher...

What is best in music is not found in the notes...

- Gustav Mahler

From Tickle Test results...my top career seems to be FINE ARTS...!!!

Professions in the fine arts typically involve evoking some kind of emotional response. Whether someone is into music, drama, or painting, they typically possess an heightened appreciation for experiencing the world on a sensory level. People in the fine arts usually enjoy looking at the world from a unique perspective and ultimately they want to share that vision with others. To many people, artists are our cultural ambassadors. That is, people involved in the fine arts are often creating solely for the purpose of connecting with other human beings in an individual way. Unfortunately, most people mistakenly assume that being involved in the fine arts equates to becoming a starving artist but this isn't always the case. Additionally, many people who have a deep admiration for the fine arts but do not define themselves as artists do in fact belong to the artistic community. For example, a lighting director is not a stage actor, but he/she gets to contribute an artistic vision. Part of the challenge to succeeding in the fine arts is to expand your definition of "artist."

A job is not just a job. It serves other needs that are important not to ignore. Don't forget to consider different aspects of your personality when thinking about your specific job interests. Below we've given you some ideas to keep in mind. Following this, the jobs that we've listed for you were personally picked for you with these needs in mind.

Although everyone would enjoy having some money, you want more than that. Whether you actually live in a lap of luxury isn't the point either. Rather, your desire to have certain comforts in life partly relates to your job interests. In addition to making money, jobs carry other benefits too. For example, you may not make as much money being an artist, but it carries a certain amount of prestige compared to other higher paying jobs. You want to have a job associated with having favorable qualities so that you make a good impression with others. A bit of recognition does not hurt either in your book. It's far better to work hard and receive some accolades then it is to work just as hard and not have others admire you for it. Given that this is the case, think about aiming for jobs that are seen as admirable by society at large. In your area, think about jobs that connote high creativity, nobility, or intelligence. Being around people is one of the perks of the job. You are social by nature and while some people see socializing as a waste of time, working with others increases your enthusiasm for what you do. The thought of sitting in front of your computer all day without interacting with people would be joyless to you. Maybe it's that you like bouncing ideas off of other people or you just like taking breaks with people. Whatever the case, make sure you look for jobs that allow you to work with others in some way. It would not only make you happy but also productive.

从一个地点走到另一个地点的时候，可能会遇到很多岔路。可是到达目的地后往回看，其实是条直路。岔路终究不是岔路。

永远纯洁的东西终究是什么都不留的。纯洁的少女无法生育小孩。纯洁的大地占产生不出溪水。在时间面前，所有东西的价值都会消灭。

纠正朋友的过错是友谊，
方任不管才是背叛。

当不辛事件发生时，最容易的事是站在强者的立场数落弱者为何没有采取妥当措施保护自己，而不反思自己为什么没有负起保护弱者的责任。

如果只有用泥土堆成墙，是无法牢固的。如果只用沙子，就会连堆都堆不起来。用小石子的话，根本就不可能堆出墙。但是如果将这些东西均匀混合，就能做出一面坚固的墙。为了要互相达到协调，必须先彼此不同才可以。

神龙王是太阳。太阳是无法正眼直视的， 而且它的光芒威严地照耀这全世界。它拥有管治万物的智慧与权能。可是它是无法仰望的，而是强逼所有人感受到它的光芒。它因为自身的光芒，反而无法看得到其他的黑暗。因为它实在是太伟大了。

路坦尼欧大王是月亮。我们走在黑暗之中的时候，月亮照耀我们。它的光芒可以直视，不用抬头仰望也可以感受得到。它或许没有伟大到能管治万物，可是对于走在黑暗的人而言，它却给予他们帮助与希望。

我们是星星。星星多得数不清，所以渺小微不足道，但还是可以看得到。如果不去仰望我们就有可能会忘记彼此。就像在永恒森林里一样，我们如果不照顾彼此，如果不照顾自己，随时都有可能成为失去光芒而不存在的星星们。

虽然为了维护正义，
有时不得不牺牲和平，
可是绝不能为了和平而牺牲了正义。
否则和平就只是建立于假象与虚伪之上。

所谓的天才，
比起普通人会有某方面异常发达，
但是却会有另一方面糟糕透顶。

不要做嗜好的奴隶，给嗜好拖着走。
我们要醉卧美人肩，醒执天下权。

才干是干出来的，不是吹牛出来的。

事业上的成就，和有没有学历是完全没有关系的。
我们不可以因读书少而怕做事。
但做事的时候却千万不要少读书。
一边工作一边进修，吸收知识便容易了。

困难对于人才来说，是一个好机会。。。

山穷水尽疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。。。

只要不放弃，永远有机会的。。。

莫以小善而不为。。。
莫以小害而为之。。。
唯德唯仁，方可服人。。。

黎明之前一定是最黑暗的。。。
成功之前是最困难的。。。

Wealth is hidden from those who must do it all themselves...
Wealth exposes itself to those patient enough to train others...

Was there ever a great artist who was allowed mere technical problems to obstruct the path to greatness???
Technology serves art - but only for those artist willing to learn the technology...

Good software is like pornography:
very difficult to describe but you know it when you see it...

Good software is art:
you can see the 'soul' of a programmer or programmers...

Good software is fun:
it should bring a smile to your face when you use it...

Good software causes an erection in the mind of a software evangelist...

Apple is an Ellis Island company...
Apple is built on refugees from other companies...
These are the extremely bright individual contributors who were troublemakers at other companies...

- Steve Jobs (Chairman of Apple Company, 1985)

It is pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays...
The way to make learning a lesson a celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask,
"How can I put this to use tomorrow?"

Many people have said that the home computer will be the death of camaraderie at the office...
Following that argument to its logical conclusion, you might as well say that masturbation should take the market away from sex...

- Jean-Louis Gassée (former president of Apple Products)

Bananas

Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose Combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood an generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight: Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool! temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine," eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

射手星座的男人

射手座的图型，是个半人半马的弓箭手，用这样的图型来形容射手座的男人真是太贴切了。拿着弓箭的手永远瞄准远方，然后骏马一般向前奔驰，那就是「他」。

射手座的男人兴趣很多，涉猎很广泛，但恐怕每一样都不会研究得很彻底。正因为他的兴趣广泛，跟很多人都可能有交集，因此他会有许多不同类型的朋友。有的朋友陪他聊政治，有的陪他打球，有的跟他一块作生意。他很忙，很少有射手座的男人会给人一种闲着没事做的感觉。尤其当他突然对什么新鲜事物发生兴趣的时侯，可能全心投入好一阵子，其它的事情（包括你）全被暂时拋在脑后去了。

当你刚开始跟一位射手座男人交往时，会有一段蜜月期--你是最让他感兴趣的人。之后，你是否能让他保持热度，就得看你的本事了，因为让一个射手座的男人把心思长期专注于谈情说爱上，的确是很困难的事。

他是个绝对的乐观主义，心中有无数远大的理想，却经常容易忽略眼前的问题，因此常在加速向前冲的时侯，一不小心就栽到水沟里去了，在他身边的女人偶尔提醒一下他的粗心是很好的，但如果在他对你高谈阔论他远大计划时，泼他一盆冷水，那就真是让他讨厌极了。其实，你真的不必太过担之他的「安危」，因为乐观的射手座男子，并不容易被一些小挫败击倒，反而事实的教训会帮助他成长，让他下一次小心点。

很多射手座的男人都有点「不信邪」，当你严厉的告诉他什么事不可行的时侯，他却偏要试一下才甘心。我不知道你碰到这种情况了没有？如果有，请千万不要落井下石，在旁边说风凉话，你当心他会恼羞成怒哦！最好换一种方式，你可以说：「你做的比我原先预计的好多了，你真有一套！下一次只要把…改一下，保证万无一失。」

他肯定会觉得你太够意思，太了解他了。射手座的男人很少真的觉得沮丧。万一不幸发生这种情况，当然就是你表现的时侯啰！很多人说射手座的男人花心，其实我倒觉得应该说他是很喜欢跟很多女人真心交往，花言巧语的欺骗不是他的方法。前面我就说过，他是很容易与人发生交集的，对女生当然也是一样，一旦他感觉跟某个女生有些投契的地方，他就会很愉快，很真诚的付出他的友谊和感情。其实射手座的男人愈成熟，就愈希望找到一个真正与他心灵相投的伴侣，只可惜他们多半都不是细细观察，慢慢投入的类型，因此总是很容易开始，很容易失望，于是很容易结束，射手座的男人很少会存心始乱终弃的。

就像是一壸茶倒满了很多杯子，你能说哪一杯不是茶吗？对每一个人他都很真诚，如想要真正拥有他，只有把自己变成个超级大杯子，让他把所有的茶全倒进来啰！首先，你要兴致勃勃的听他说远大的计划，偶尔提醒他一些细节，让他惊讶你的智能。

第二，你要会陪他玩，多数射手座男子对户外运动都很有兴趣，当他带你去参加社交场合时，千万别摆张老k脸。

第三，射手座男人很爱跟朋友辩论，你要很感兴趣的听，然后在适当时机帮个腔，使他理论立于不败之地。更重要的是，千万不要限制他的自由。对于多数射手座的男人来说，自由是他们的宝贝，「不自由毋宁死」，他爱你是真的，愿意和你厮守终生也是真的，但是他不会因此放弃他追求自由的权利。射手座的男人，绝不是可以被拴在腰带上的丈夫，这一点你一定不要忘记。

射手座的男往往不会详细的向你报告行踪，尤其是事前，他更不会一副征求你批准的态度。如果你东问西问，他很有翻脸的可能。有位射手座的男人，因为晚上临时有事，不能陪女朋友吃晚饭，于是他打了个电话给他的女友。

「喂！今天晚上有事，不能陪你吃饭了。」
「哦！什么事啊？」
「公事！」
「什么公事啊？」
「关你什么事啊？」他有点火大了。
「跟什么人一起去？」
「要你管？」
「我也要跟你去！」女朋友也火大了。
「不行！」
「为什么不行！」
「我说不行就是不行！」

卡的一声，就把电话给挂了。

当然，你可能没有这么倒霉，碰上这么一个坏脾气的射手座男人。不过，我还是劝你不要做个福尔摩斯，你的射手座男人恐怕没有亚森罗苹的幽默感。

你愈给他自由，他愈坦白。

有时侯射手座男人的直率也会让人有点受不了，他的直肠子有时会伤你的心，有时会让你下不了台。如果想要愉快的相处，你必须学习适应，而且欣赏他不会拐弯的坦率性格。

当然你也有自由发展你的世界。他通常忙碌的没时间去限制你。想要欺瞒一个射手座的男人，是件很容易的事，但是如果让他发现，将会造成无法弥补的裂痕，「真诚」是他最重视的相处之道。他会尊重你的自由一如尊重他己的一样，你会有很大的空间发挥自己的事业和兴趣。但是我仍然建议你多方面尽量配合他，否则他什么时侯掉进了别人的情网你都不知道！

你无法使真正有志者长期失落。。。

痛苦的事情尽量不要让自己以外的人背负。。。
也不想让别人担心。。。

Judgment Calls

Often, we blame oursleves or others when situations make us feel uneasy.
But if we learn to discern rather than judge,
we begin to see our difficult feelings for what they really are.

Blame is one of the smoke screens that the false self throws up to keep itsel from facing the pain of human fallibility. Blaming is one of the greatest of all diversionary tactics.

Yoga goes a long way...
Respect...

谁是真正的诗人，
要看谁继续写诗一辈子，
而且越写越成熟。

谁是真正的音乐人，
要看谁在弹弹唱唱的年轻岁月过去之后，
仍然执着地以旋律来记录生命的感受，
越唱越远。

对于真诚写歌的人来说，
每一首歌的背后，
都是生命的一部分，
都有着种种难以割舍的感情牵连。
