时有春秋黄绿叶，运无臧否明灭星。 时有春秋黄绿叶，运无好坏明暗星。 时有春秋黄绿叶，运无好坏明灭星。 年少时侯，正是不知天高地厚的时候。比如那时不知道随机性、不知道世界的复杂性和那些藏在细节中的多样性。经历的事多了，同时又多少知道了自己的局限和偏见。人生不过百年，宇宙无垠星河浩瀚，不论从时间还是空间上来看，一个人又是怎样的渺小和不足道？人生而自由，却无往不在枷锁之中。这枷锁有社会给的，也有自然带的，更有每个人的认知局限和无知。可是这生命却是你我所有的一切，如何面对如何度过？在李嘉诚的办公室里有一副对联：“发上等愿，结中等缘，享下等福；择高处立，寻平处坐，向宽处行。”马克吐温说，Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get。而古诗这样写道：时来天地皆同力，运去英雄不自由。 和偶然性及随机性相关的一个问题：世界为什么不是永远五五开？一个偶然被不断放大。 If it stays, it is love. If it ends, it’s a love story. If it never begins, it is poetry. – Nichomachus [verse 1] All the snow has turned to water Christmas days have come and gone Broken toys and faded colors Are all that's left to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawn shops For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my childhood souvenirs [chorus] Memories, they can't be boughten They can't be won at carnivals for free Well it took me years to get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me [verse 2] Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this mornin' Always look the same to me I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my sweetheart's souvenirs john prine souvenirs on youtube ...

查理大桥始建于1357年，是一座哥特建筑和巴洛克雕像的华美融合。它横跨伏尔塔瓦河，有六座拱门桥墩和三座塔楼。查理大桥连接了布拉格城堡与老城，布拉格连接了东欧与西欧。 人上有人人压人，山外有山山连山。为什么生活中总有一种挣扎的感觉？欲求太多而时间和精力有限。 id: 4dku5YT investing debt and AI 20261007 Singapore. IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva: Skyrocketing energy costs from two devastating wars. Record-high public debt amid ballooning government bond yields. Debilitating inflation rates, sluggish fiscal growth, and new artificial intelligence investment risks. The global economy is in for a tough 2027, International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Kristalina Georgieva warned on Wednesday. Last week, G-7 nations agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude from their reserves over the next four months to try to rein in high fuel prices. Yet Brent crude still exceeded $100 per barrel on Wednesday, and West Texas Intermediate rose to nearly $90 per barrel. ...

临溪流以静对，访草木以素心。登高极目知天地之大，置己苍茫知寸身之微。 当欲望得不到满足便痛苦，当欲望得到满足便无聊，人生就像钟摆一样在痛苦与无聊之间摆荡。– 叔本华(Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788 - 1860) (Life is a constant oscillation between the desire to have and the boredom of possessing. Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.) 杜甫 《登高》 风急天高猿啸哀，渚清沙白鸟飞回。 无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。 万里悲秋常作客，百年多病独登台。 艰难苦恨繁霜鬓，潦倒新停浊酒杯。 “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.” – Elie Wiesel the only thing new in the world is the history you do not know. – Harry S. Truman ...

江汉曾为客，相逢每醉还。浮云一别后，流水十年间。 欢笑情如旧，萧疏鬓已斑。何因不归去？淮上有秋山。– 韦应物《淮上喜会梁川故人》 investing Oscar Wilde wrote in his story, The Picture of Dorian Gray, that nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing. I guess that it is hard to know the value of things. Take the example of stock prices. IMO, there is no such thing of good stocks but over-valued or under-valued ones. the value of a stock is changing that is hard to know. You must be patient to buy at the under-valued price and be patient to hold as long as you could. ...

Rivers, like men, only learn why they were born near their end. – José Saramago (1922-2010) “Nations reel and stagger on their way; they make hideous mistakes; they commit frightful wrongs; they do great and beautiful things. And shall we not best guide humanity by telling the truth about all this, so far as the truth is ascertainable?” – W.E.B. Du Bois 乌托邦（utopia）由来已久，其要旨就是用简单的方法解决复杂的问题，其根源就是面对复杂的世界人总是希望可以有一个简单的解释。长久以来，人们知道这是做不到的，却从来没有放弃，总是不断尝试不断失败。因此反乌托邦（dystopia）也会时不时出现。 讲故事应该比乌托邦的历史更久远。一个故事就是对世界或对人生的一个简单解释，让我们多一种理解。这也是源于人渴望对复杂不确定的世事有所明了。讲故事写故事的冲动就是为了构建一个虚拟世界，从而更好地理解面前的现实世界。 世界是复杂的不确定的，而人自己其实也是复杂的变化的，没有人确知世界和自己的未来。 There is a certain part of all of us that lives outside of time. Perhaps we become aware of our age only at exceptional moments and most of the time we are ageless. – Milan Kundera ...

The Summer Day Mary Oliver (1935 – 2019) Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean— the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down— who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don’t know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. – George Bernard Shaw ...

“It is very nearly impossible to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.” – James Baldwin “Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.” – Richard P. Feynman, The Meaning of It All Don’t just teach your children to read … Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything. – George Carlin Nature composes some of her loveliest poems for the microscope and the telescope. – Theodore Roszak, 1933-2011 ...

Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. -- W. B. Yeats, the stolen child, 1886 Writing and reading about Fairies some may deem to be mark of a trifling turn of mind. On this subject … dulce est desipere in loco. (It is sweet to be silly in places.) – Thomas Keightley, the world guide to Gnomes, Fairies, Elves and other little people ...

“Again, I always go to sea as a sailor, because they make a point of paying me for my trouble, whereas they never pay passengers a single penny that I ever heard of. On the contrary, passengers themselves must pay. And there is all the difference in the world between paying and being paid. The act of paying is perhaps the most uncomfortable infliction that the two orchard thieves entailed upon us. But being paid, — what will compare with it? The urbane activity with which a man receives money is really marvellous, considering that we so earnestly believe money to be the root of all earthly ills, and that on no account can a monied man enter heaven. Ah! how cheerfully we consign ourselves to perdition!” – Herman Melville, Moby-Dick ...
