Headline: Thinking

More Sweat in Training, Less Blood in Battle.

故事是這樣開始的：馬村，是個整村居民只靠馬來工作的村子，村裡的長老永遠都在爭論「咱們村裡的馬，比鄰村的斑馬好。」而且對任何質疑這個論點的人滔滔不絕。可有一天，長老們突然發現，「糟了，這斑馬好像真的比自己村裡又貪吃又懶惰的馬兒優秀」這極力支持馬兒多年後，他們決定接納斑馬。問題是，該怎麼說服自己長期洗腦的村民們呢？

長老們想了一個法子。他們先偷偷替村裡的幾匹馬畫上黑色的條紋，村民發現了，長老們就辯解說，只是替年老的馬兒裝飾些花樣罷了。於是，村民們開始逐漸習慣村子裡出現一些有怪斑紋的馬兒。過了一段時間，長老開始偷偷把馬兒一匹匹換上真正的斑馬，斑馬強大的生產力替村子創造大量財富。終於有一天，當村裡的馬全被換上了斑馬，長老們站出來大聲的說：斑馬才是真正的好馬，咱們的村子是「斑馬村」。

养志者，心气之思不达也。有所欲，志存而思之。志者，欲之使也。欲多则心散，心散则志衰，志衰则思不达。故如果心神专一，欲望就不会多，欲望不多，意志力就不会衰弱，意志力不衰弱，思想就会畅达。思想畅达则心气和我们想要任用人，一定要先知道他养气的功夫，知道他心气的盛衰。知道他的心志状态，看其养气修志，观察他是不修养心志，“五气”就不稳固；“五气”不稳固，思虑就不畅达；思虑不畅达，意志就不坚定：意... Read More »

Once we take off it, we will feel unsafe. its really hard to do so for most ppl, its scary in fact.

Bystander effect

a social psychological phenomenon in which individuals are less likely to offer help in an emergency situation when other people are present. Your brain is wired to do the same... but you can overcome the effect if you are aware of it and specifically fight it. You must assume that nobody else can help, and you alone have to act. Usually, once one person acts, the rest follow.
