Finished this book, may be I have high expectation on this book, I am a little bit disappointed - no surprise at all.

麥當勞-麥麥掛豬柳蛋漢堡

昨天父親說想食魚柳飽,
入麥當勞代他買回家,
看見單買一個15元,
套餐25元,
用邊際成本10元,
可以有薯條及一汽水,
因此,
吸引我買了一個套餐,
另汽水改橙汁,
加2元,
見到-麥麥掛的豬柳蛋漢堡飾品幾得意,
又加了10元,
換購了一個小玩具給自己.

回家路上,
仔細想,
父親只需要食一個魚柳飽-15元,
其餘的都是多餘的,
不需要的
額外花費的22元(10+2+10),
真是一個商業社會上很成功針對消費者心態的銷售方式,
又不小心上了一課.

阿Q精神,我多了一個小小的麥麥掛豬柳蛋漢堡!

李嘉誠：沒必然成功方程式

明報 – 2011年6月29日

長實主席李嘉誠出席汕頭大學的畢業典禮時，與畢業生分亨了他的「檸檬汁人生觀」。

在當天的畢業典禮致詞《檸檬汁人生觀》中，李嘉誠勉勵畢業生們說，生命拋來一個檸檬，你是可以把它轉榨為檸檬汁的人。要描繪自己獨特的心靈地圖，你才可發現熱愛生命的你、有思維、有能力、有承擔，建立自我的你；有原則、有理想，追求無我的你。

據了解，汕頭大學今年共有各類畢業生2346人，其中博士畢業生22人，碩士畢業生682人，本科畢業生1642人。

李嘉誠在畢業典禮致詞中提及媒體熱炒的「年青人應否成為李嘉誠」的話題時說，每一個人各有不同的獨特天賦、經驗，並按自己的選擇踏上命途，雖然沒有人應附人驥尾，盲目模仿他人，但從他人經驗悟出心得，也是不錯的成長教材。

李嘉誠說，他學到最價值連城的一課是：逆境和挑戰只要能激發起生命的力度，我們的成就是可以超乎自己所想象的。

李嘉誠說：「今天社會前行，貧窮不一定是缺乏金錢，而是對希望及機遇憧憬破滅的挫敗感。沒有人願意貧窮，但出路在哪裏？」李嘉誠說他14歲時這個問題每一晚都在他心頭，但如今他發現沒有什麼必然的成功方程式，首要專注的是，把能掌控的因素區分出來。

李嘉誠還透露，無論在言談、許諾及設定目標各方面，他都慎思和嚴守紀律，一定不能給人脆弱和倚賴的印象。這個思維模式不但是對成就的投資，更可建立誠信；你的魅力，表現在你的自律、克己和謙遜中。
