How do you define "Believe"?

It isn't enough to believe something is true; I must live out that truth. As a matter of fact, my actions are the best reflection of my true beliefs. My words alone will never be proof enough of my convictions. Only the canvas of my life paints the reality of what I hold to be true.

While SF is banning plastic bags


if we believe that Christian should protect the environment
if we believe that we should be the salt and light of the world
why do we need to wait for the law to bind us?

Bring your own bag when you shop.
Refuse unneccessary plastic bags. Ask them to put everything in one bag.
Put a large bin in your trunk to hold grocery.
Take that extra step.

科技 vs 傳統

<300>好不好看,真的是見仁見智。想講的,是這類大量採用虛擬背景的人肉卡通片,將會是電影的未來嗎?

一直堅持用菲林拍攝電影的史匹堡,在<強戰世界>DVD的製作特輯裡表達了對「虛擬背景」的看法。他認為,有一個「真實」的佈景,可以讓演員入戲。他很享受在佈景裡四處走,找尋鏡頭的靈感。例如片中一個場景,是一部客機衝落民居後的災場。攝製組找來一部棄用的客機,把它肢解、破壞、重組。所廢的精力、時間、金錢,跟電腦動畫相比,毫不化算。男主角湯告魯斯也不見得身處這個場景有甚麼驚天動地的演出。

誰也不能否認,如果導演可以在拍攝現場走個圈,一定有助思考該場戲劇的處理。至於真實的場景能否激發演員的「潛能」……?荷里活製作可能好一點點,港產片嘛……睇人啦。

史匹堡還有話說。他自知這樣堅持去搭建大佈景是不合時宜的做法。但他強調,在荷里活電影工業裡,有一批非常專業、世界級的人員賴以為生。若果所有導演都拍<Sin City>,這批人便會失業,更可惜的是,他們過人的手藝便會失傳(例如如何「撞毁」一架客機,我說的)。

史匹堡以電影為生、致富。他愛拍科幻片,每部片都把特技公司推到懸崖邊,迫令他們發明、創作更新、更高科技的東西。但骨子裡,他對電影業某些傳統卻多加愛惜,有理有節。

如果女人是傢俬


白虹說,她自覺在家中地位彷若電視櫃,我們笑得絕倒--「他一回來即開電視,且目不轉睛,有時候還為著電視發笑,喃喃罵兩句直如打情罵悄。可他從不注意電視櫃,倘若你現在撥他電話問:『老陳,你家的電視櫃是甚麼顏色的?』他大概不知道家中原來有那麼一個櫃。」鳳凰不甘示弱地大叫:「那我是沙發床哪!」她們等著爆笑,我急不及待喊出來:「要你摺埋就摺埋,要你攤開就攤開!哈哈哈……」「喜歡時就躺上來,不喜歡時嫌礙地方。」鳳凰說:「但是,假使有天電視櫃或沙發床要離家出走,他們還是會傷心的吧?」眾人內心嗒然,白虹想想道:「傷心是很高深的情懷吧?不習慣倒是必然的。日後發現生活真箇不方便了,再找一個櫃一張沙發床,又有多難。」我看著她臉上淺淺的兩道笑紋,一陣心寒。


愛情不是這樣的。絕不。

達明一派

上星期一的時候因為要開長途車,所以將iPod內的勁快勁噪的歌做了一個Playlist。於是又遇上這首歌。
1986年,我們還在聽鄧偉雄的武俠劇主題曲的年代,這首詞怎能不算前衛?就是今天,仍然不落伍;縱使新世界已不是新世界了。
懷念那個年代的陳少琪。他後來的作品中再也看不到這種前衛。

美好新世界
曲編:劉以達
詞:陳少琪
歌手:達明一派


此刻東急的海邊呼聲風聲已漸大
又再亂跳踏進是這美好的新世界
望向盡處又發現每樣裝飾也熟面
路每段也踏遍亂碰地庫內在流連

停在每間商店
沒有最終焦點
再走遍亦覺新鮮

深啡走廊的終點他的知己已露面
又幹著買賣配合計劃店內在盤旋
愉快地看著四面慶幸今天再會面
沒有玩厭沒有大變願每日像從前

忘掉每點討厭
令每天都經典
要挑戰冷漠人面

抹去從前放棄目前
世界會變更美善
抹去從前放棄目前
放棄理想鍛煉
沒美夢與信念


原因同上,這首歌也再一次出現在我的spectrum之內。時維1988年,炎熱的夏天下午,考試季節卻讀不了書,聽著借來的全新黑膠碟,被歌詞中的大時代疏離荒謬感動。第一次興起拍MV的念頭,連storyboard都想好。
欣賞何秀萍在這首歌中文字的精鍊。沒有一粒虛字。

末世情
曲:劉以達
詞:何秀萍
編曲:劉以達
主唱:黃耀明 - 達明一派
和唱:陳慧嫻


繁忙路上人面每張一一觀察過 似一樣
難忘舊貌常留在我心為曾深愛過 亦碎過心

斜陽漫漫行人逐晚風向四方散去 不再聚
回頭察覺你那列快車在旁邊遠去 沒去再追

來日也許重逢誰又會跟著誰可永遠 相聚
明白美景良辰原是似煙像雲終散去

末了總要相分 末了總會相分

霓虹漸亮全沒理想趁這一剎那 且快活
浮華世界惶惶是我心從來不答應 誓約永守

The Secret to Reinventing Yourself

How do you leverage the things you’ve done in the past for what you want to do in the future?

Drapkin, over his 30-plus-year career, has been a classical musician, programmer, program manager, academic, technology consultant, CEO and business strategist. You know the sort: A polymath that’s good at so many things.
More than that, though, Michael knows the secret to career change and self-reinvention. It’s that reinventing ourselves is not a fairy tale where the ugly duckling suddenly molts into a swan. We don’t shed our old selves as we change career paths. What we do is evolve.

Remember, you’re more than the sum of your parts. You’re an evolving person who in the act of change has an edge over the other guy who doesn’t have your background. As the adage goes, you’re not getting older, just better.


So true. In my history of being an engineer, architect, youth worker, administrator, art director, entrepreneur, retail manager, merchandizer, cooking instructor and management executive, I have never had any abrupt change. I evolved.

This has to happen. Nowadays not a lot of people stick with one career anymore. Because everytime you evolve you become better. You'll have synergy with yourself.

Red Alert


Recently I am very conscious that Satan is at work in Vancouver. Big work.
Really do pray hard for Vancouver. It has become such a stronghold of Satan that many positive spiritual efforts have been kept from effective. The spirit of negativity hovering over us is getting more and more horrible...
And in fact it's not just in Vancouver. This is what I received a few days ago from a church elsewhere:

There are few challenges in ministry as difficult as being called upon to give painful and sad news. Such is our responsibility today as we inform you that the Rev’d Dr. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx has engaged in an inappropriate relationship with an adult female parishioner. As a result, the Rt. Rev. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Bishop in the [denomination], has changed Xxx’s clerical status within the [denomination] to “inactive,” revoked his license to function as a priest, and removed him as senior pastor of [name of local church]. Bishop Xxxxxxx, acting in his position as our spiritual authority, has followed [denomination] policy for such pastoral situations, and the vestry of [name of local church] fully supports his decisions. We believe these actions are consistent with a Scriptural and pastoral model for faithful, responsible ministry and accountability within the church.


How sad.
Be really alert.

Business Communication

If you need to write business letters from time to time (like I do), this customer relations letter from USAirways may be of interest to you. The letter explains about recent delays caused by the bumpy trainsition to a new computer system. Well, that's not the point. The interesting part is the use of casual language in business communication - as if you are chatting with a friend. So vocabularies like "ugh," "dummy," "slogged," and "clunky" appear in where no such words have gone before.

This is a trend. But does it work? You decide.

Expert says let go

By executive and political coach Donna Karlin:

People become who they might be when they let go of who they are.

I’m creating a whole new program based on that statement. We might complain that our bosses, family, friends etc. put up roadblocks to our success --- whoever and whatever we can find to blame for our setbacks --- but the bottom line is we hold ourselves back more than all the other people, circumstances and strokes of fate put together. If you get over yourself, then you can let go over who you are at least enough to open your mind to possibility. Everyone in this world knows something you don’t know about something. Until you let go and open your mind, you’ll never know what that something is. Look at what you’re missing out on!

Organizational leaders look for people who don’t hesitate to jump into the deep end of whatever they’re about to embark on. Innovation comes from people who not only think out of the box, but don’t acknowledge there is a box in the first place. Remove your own self-limitations and you’ll attract all kinds of amazing opportunities. That energy will attract others and the ripple effect will go well beyond anything you imagined.

Opportunities whisper, they don’t knock and if you don’t pay attention and are so hell-bent on being the person you’re expected to be or who you’ve boxed yourself into being, those opportunities will go poof into the night. The greatest discovery you will ever make is that you’re unique. By letting go of ‘who you are’, you’ll find out just what that means.

Ceiling? What ceiling?

慢著。「頂包」,不是指有人闖了禍,找人代替認罪嗎?用在這裡不太適合吧?

找人代考試,叫做「請槍」;「替槍」代考的人叫做「槍手」,這些是古代科舉已有的詞語,何解不用?

Prosper.com

A typical example of doing business in the age of Web 2.0 / Crowdsourcing / Online community...
Here is how it works:

People who need money request it, and other people bid for the privilege of lending it to them. Prosper makes sure everything is safe, fair and easy.




And it helps if you belong to a community:



And according to their web site, this concept comes from the Chinese ancient practice of 做會 (which people from my parents' generation still practices some years ago). Returning the business monopolized by big corporations to the hands of individuals. This is so 2.0.

Laundry Detergent

If you are interested in making your own laundry detergent, here is an informative recipe.

You may ask, who would make their own laundry detergent? There are actually many good reasons for doing so, such as:
1. Cost. Homemade detergent cost much less than store bought products.
2. Environmental concerns. Commercial laundry detergent is a major chemical pollutants of the environment.
3. Customizable. You can make detergents that most match the hardness of your water supply with your own favourate scent. For people with sensitive skins you can also adjust the composition of the detergent to help stop skin irritation.

Think outside of the box.

Choosing the right song

The following is an assignment given by Linda Robins, one of my classmates at IWS and music/worship instructor in a Christian university, to her students . I show this assignment to my colleagues and we come to the realization how limited is our palette in song selection.
God is much bigger and wider.

The assignment is simple. Just choose 2 songs for each of the following 16 themes:

1. The Scriptures Inspired;
2. One True God;
3. Deity of Christ;
4. Fall of Man;
5. Salvation of Man;
6. Ordinances of the Church (water baptism and communion);
7. Baptism in the Holy Spirit;
8. Evidence of Holy Spirit Baptism;
9. Sanctification;
10. The Church and Its Mission;
11. The Ministry;
12. Divine Healing;
13. Blessed Hope;
14. Millennial Reign of Christ;
15. Final Judgment;
16. New Heavens and New Earth.


Her comment: This assignment really causes the students to look at lyrics and think about the message.

How do we understand this?

A recent survey indicated that population of church membership in US has slightly increased by just less than 1%.



Doug Pagitt in his blog understands this as it's "not as bad as we suggest." I would rather ask 2 questions:

1. Is 1% an acceptable growth rate?

2. If the overall population of Christian has increased, why has the Christian influence decreased? I do not agree with Pagitt that "Christianity has never had more influence in the world."

What do you think?

Enneagram


今日發神經去做Enneagram測試,結果出來我是一型+三型人。
第一型 -- 改革型
深層動機:理想
表面形態:對抗
應對手法:穩健

最渴望:事事完美,零缺點
最恐懼:受良心責備,遭他人譴責
最難達到的美德:祥和 (Serenity)
最難克服的執念:怨恨 (Resentment)

跟第一型的人相處...
1. 諒解他們對你的批評,因為通常他們出於好意。稱讚他們做事認真,可以的話主動分擔一下他們的工作。
2. 切忌隱瞞事實真相;做錯事要認真的道歉,並承擔責任。如果是初犯,而是被他們發現你的錯誤的話,他們通常都會原諒。如果錯誤是出自你的陋習或不專心,不認真的話,就麻煩得多了。
3. 第一型的人是特別重小節的。例如約會切忌遲到 (可以的話最好早到,因為他們也會)。他們也很重禮節,"唔該","多謝" 這些詞語絕不可少。
4. 儘量避免直接否定他們,可以反過來問些啟發他們思考的問題(如果.....又會怎樣?),營造一個第七型的環境,他們會開放很多。


第三型 -- 成就型
深層動機:認同
表面形態:對抗
應對手法:穩健

最渴望:自己的能力被認同,讚賞
最恐懼:不被賞識,感到懷才不遇
最難達到的美德:坦誠 (Honesty)
最難克服的執念:虛榮 (Vanity)

跟第三型的人相處...
1. 讚揚並肯定他們的成就。
2. 給他們意見,但不要直接批評或替他們作主。
3. 切勿在他們面前炫耀你的功績,盡量讓他們發現你的優點。
4. 和他們商量時,要著重"行動"和"成果",其他的他們都不太有興趣。
5. 如果想和他們保持良好的關係,盡量避免直接跟他們競爭,可以的話選擇與他們合作。


總括我是個:追求理想,要人認同,不怕對抗,作風穩健,苦毒,執著和虛榮的人。我自己覺得幾準。

Serving God


It is easier to serve or work for God without a vision and without a call, because then you are not bothered by what He requires.

Never consider whether or not you are of use— but always consider that "you are not your own" ( 1 Corinthians 6:19 ). You are His.

-My Utmost For His Highest, Mar 4

I am His. To some, it may be a burden. To me, this is such an assurance. Serving God is really a blessing.

Geometry

最近有人在學生中心的廁所的黑板上寫下了一堆geometry的題目,想必是讀書讀昏了頭。但這令我想起我讀中學時的一條geometry題目。咁多年都仲記得,可想而知有幾富挑戰性。不如你地都試下啦!

There are two overlapping circles. The circumference of Circle A bisects the circumference of Circle B. The circumference of Circle B passes through the center of Circle A. Let the radius of Circle A be x, find the area of the intersection (ie, the overlapping part) of the 2 circles.

畫得出幅圖先啦!

Don't make a speech


When we go to see a lecture, we generally go to see the speaker not to hear what they have to say. We know what they have to say. That's why we go see them.

How many speeches have you heard? How many of them can you remember?

In a song, we remember firstly the melody and then we learn the words.

In stead of giving people the benefit of your wit and wisdom (words), try painting them a picture. The more strikingly visual your presentation is, the more people will remember it.

And more importantly, they will remember you.

Spiritual Jokes

When I researched for last week's PP959 episode on Spirituality, I came across a few good jokes that I had no chance to use in the program. So here they are.

At the entrance to a temple there was a beggar always asking for alms stretching one hand. One day he stretched both of his hands. A passerby asked him: all these days, you were stretching one hand, why are you stretching two hands today? To which the beggar replied: Prabhu, the business was so good that I opened a branch!


This guy was climbing a tree when suddenly he slipped, then grabbed at a branch and was hanging there. After an hour or so had passed he felt himself getting exhausted and looked up to the heavens and cried out: "God, help me, please, help me."
All of a sudden the clouds parted and a voice boomed out from on high. "Let Go!" said the voice.
The guy paused and looked up at heaven once more, then said: "Is there anyone else up there?"


Part 1: What did the Yogi say when he walked into the Zen Pizza Parlor? "Make me one with everything."
Part 2: When the Yogi got the pizza, he gave the proprietor a $20 bill. The proprietor pocketed the bill. The Yogi said "Don't I get change?" The proprietor said, "Change must come from within."
