思考沒有成效，是因為一次想太多事情！快戴上六頂思考帽切換思維角度
文／莽斯特2010年07月05日
當我說：「戴上思考帽！」說的並非是一種如邊走邊想、靈光乍現的隨意、隨機的大腦運作狀態，而是一種刻意的思考，我們「刻意地」戴上思考帽，跟隨思考帽的轉換，打破自我思考的慣性、切換思維角度...... 提出「水平思考」的愛德華．狄波諾經典著作《六頂思考帽》是一項思維訓練模式，除了可用於.....

內容簡介
思考大師狄波諾經典之作 全球創新思考課程No.1，二十世紀最有價值的商業書 風行54個國家，譯成37種語言，銷量超過30,000萬冊！
到底該如何思考？＞＞＞一次只帶一頂帽子，一次只思考一件事情
「為什麼我總想不到好方法？」「他那麼厲害，到底怎麼思考的？」「這個團隊的創意源源不絕，怎麼做到的？」思考泰斗愛德華．狄波諾發現許多人或團隊有「到底該如何思考」的困擾，原因出於不懂得思考的本質與方法。
思考最大的敵人是混亂，思考之所以沒有成效，是因為一次想太多事情。
一般人思考問題時常會帶著各種複雜的情緒和觀點，想在同一時間解決所有的問題，因而看不清問題本質，開會討論時，又由於每個人切入思考的面向不同，容易發生爭執，往往花費時間與力氣辯解，導致思考沒有成效，無法做出明確的判斷。於是思考大師狄波諾創造了一套創新思維模式「六頂思考帽」，來簡化我們的思考模式，解決思考上的障礙。
「六頂思考帽」二十多年來風靡全球，是使用最廣、最受歡迎的思維訓練模式。其目的在指導人們進行「平行思考」，也就是一次只用一個觀點想事情，讓思考過程簡單不混亂。它促使我們將思考分割成許多面向，而我們可以依次從不同的面向進行單一且充分的考量，最終就能對一件事情得到諸多角度的觀點，使得思考效果更全面、完善。
風行全球的創新性思考工具＞＞＞六頂帽子，六種思維模式；自由取戴，隨時切換這六頂思考帽分別是：
1.白色思考帽：白色是中性的顏色，代表中立、客觀，代表思考過程中搜集證據、數字、訊息等中立客觀的事實與數字。
2.紅色思考帽：紅色是溫暖熱情的顏色，代表直覺、情感，代表思考過程中的情感、感覺、印象、直覺等問題。
3.黃色思考帽：黃色是陽光與樂觀的顏色，代表積極、正面，代表思考過程中的樂觀及建設性思考，研究利益所在，可取之處等問題。
4.黑色思考帽：黑色是邏輯與負面的顏色，代表謹慎、負面，代表思考過程中反思事實與判斷是否與證據相符，考慮風險、困難、和潛在問題等負面因素。
5.綠色思考帽：綠色是活躍的顏色，代表創意、巧思，代表思考過程中的探索、提案、建議、新觀念、以及可行性的多樣化這些問題。
6.藍色思考帽：藍色是冷靜的顏色，代表指揮、控制，代表思考過程的控制與組織，冷靜地管理思考程序及步驟、瞭解需求、總結與決策。
當我們使用「六頂思考帽」進行思考時，切記一次只戴一頂帽子、一次只想一件事情。當你戴上某種顏色的帽子時，就用該頂帽子的特性來思考。透過戴帽子的過程，可以使我們提醒自己轉換思維，讓混亂的思考變得更清晰。
原來思考可以這麼簡單有趣！帶給個人與企業驚人的成效
這種思考法對於團隊合作時的決策過程特別有效，可將團體中無意義的爭論變成集思廣益的創造，使溝通更有效率，團隊潛能發揮到極致。因此，許多國際知名的企業都曾採用「六頂思考帽」作為員工思維訓練的課程，如：微軟、IBM、西門子、NOKIA、麥當勞等：
作為一個廣受肯定的思維工具，「六頂思考帽」的作用和價值在於：
◎使思考聚焦，簡化單一思考使之清晰明瞭。
◎鼓勵平行思考，取代傳統的思考模式，更能激發團隊創意。
◎允許情緒的發洩，在正反討論之後，讓思考結果更加全面和完備。
◎避免無謂的辯論，增進溝通的效率，產生建設性的成果。
學會活用六頂思考帽，你將會發現原來思考可以這麼簡單有趣！
人人都能成為思考高手，處處都可產生創意團隊！
作者簡介
愛德華．狄波諾（Edward de Bono）
長年教導思考為一種技能，使他成為許多人心目中此領域的泰斗。三十多年來他率先倡導「仔細思量思考」，著有暢銷書《六頂思考帽》、《思考探奇：心智的歷程》等六十餘部，並翻譯成中文、希伯來文、阿拉伯文、巴薩印尼文、韓文和斯洛維尼亞文等二十七種語言。他的思考課程廣為人們採用，從偏遠的南非村落到各國名校，學生遍及全球，多達數百萬人。
全球許多知名企業及政府機構都向他請益如何思考。他創立了國際創造思考研究中心（International Creative Forum），其成員涵蓋了各領域的企業精英（IBM、杜邦、雀巢、英國航空等等）。他也在紐約成立了國際創造思考辦事處（International Creative Office），與聯合國和其他國際團體合作。
愛德華．狄波諾曾獲得羅德茲獎學金前往牛津大學就讀，攻讀醫學和心理學，而後任教於牛津大學、劍橋大學、倫敦大學和哈佛大學。他所創造的「水平思考」（lateral thinking）這名詞，如今收錄在《牛津英文辭典》裡。此外，他也是著名的L遊戲的發明人，此遊戲是一般公認有史以來最單純的真正遊戲。而它的誕生是為了回應著名數學家李特伍德教授的挑戰。

內容簡介
你印象中的日本是如何？
高物價？勤奮賣命的上班族？充滿創意的無聊發明？棒球之神的出生地？令人眼花撩亂的動漫王國？
以武士的堅忍精神、嚴謹態度躋身強國的日本，世人對他們的觀點為何？他們又是怎麼看待世界各國？

※舉例：捉姦在床時……
今天提早下班，回家卻發現妻子與其他男人在床上嘿咻，遇到這種情形，各個國家的人會有什麼反應？
美國人會當場開槍斃了情夫。
德國人會氣得對情夫大吼，嚴明告到底。
法國人會開始脫衣服。

Everything is possible
Sometimes, I judge thing very fast, but later on, I realise that I had a wrong judgement.
Few days ago, I finished something within an hour which I originally thought I might not be accomplished, since I could not control the time, but still, I gave it a try.
And at last, I finished all of that and I had plenty of time ahead, just unbelievable !
Life is like this, everything is possible, if we never try, we never know we could !!

Dinner at Restaurant Fogo Samba
Last December, went to the restaurant and it was too late, didn't get the full dinner but only the salad bar.
This time, went for a full dinner, with different kinds of barbecue meat serving unlimited times - I liked the lamb, the pork rib, the sausage and the chicken very much, but not the beef, as it was too dry. I would like to have some juice came from the meat itself.
Other special included the barbecue pineapple, the deep fried snacks (corn bread), the garlic bread and the special cheese bread - I liked it very much.
For the salad bar, nothing special and it was not very attractive at all. There were some hot dishes, fried rice, noodles, vegetable soup and "Pork with beans".
Overall the atmosphere on the second floor and the service was good. There were plenty of tourists (I could say they are not Macaneses, as they are foreigners), but as the restaurant is very spacious, it was quite relax.
On the table there is a chip for each person, with the red side faced down (green up), the server will keep on bringing the barbecue meat to you; when you have enough, just turn the red side up, with the green side down, then they will stop to serve you the meat anymore.
The Brazilian manager also offered complimentary coffee and the dessert for us - I ordered a raspberry cheese cake - pretty good.
The dinner time was wonderful, with expenses about 400 per person (set dinner was MOP348), plus service charge - it was an expensive dinner if comparing with the Macau living standard, but thinking the service and comparing with the other tourists, converting the charge into USD, the price was OK- it was an eating experience of Brazilian food!!
By the time we left, there was a samba party on the ground floor - it was told that the party would be until 4 in the morning, what a wonderful night for the people inside!!

Don't be late
Met my uncle on my way to work in the morning, it was almost 9AM, near my office. He stressed that I should not be late to work, and I told him I always arrive the office punctually.
It reminds me that when I started my first job, my mother always taught me to arrive the work place a little bit earlier.
It stays on my mind all the time.
Actually, few months ago, met my other uncle after lunch, and he realised that I was still on the street before 2:30pm, then he reminded me that I should always be punctual, don't be late!!!
My alarm clock is in red color, according to the analysis, I am sensitive to the time, and looking back to my family members, this should be the tradition - don't be late, should be on time !!!

【明報專訊】乘坐西貢市中心開出的94號巴士或鑽石山港鐵站的96R巴士（於周末及公共假期行駛），到北潭涌下車。沿大網仔路前行至分岔路口，靠右方的西貢萬宜路續行約9公里，即可到達萬宜水庫東壩，遊覽萬宜地質步道。
平日常到西貢，但一直也沒有發現這蔚為奇觀的六角岩柱。直至和校記走在萬宜地質步道時，才知道一直錯過了這近在咫尺的地質奇葩。一路上，校記十分留心聆聽導賞員的講解，雖然有關六角岩柱的形成涉及地質的專有名詞，校記都「打爛沙盆問到篤」，相信此行他們都對岩石增加了興趣。

2010.7.29 時間在停頓?
在新馬路區常出沒的我，
每當我路過此區時，
慣性的總會向郵政局的大鐘行注目禮。
今早，
上班的時候，
鐘停留了在6:15分；
中午再經過時，
時間仍是一樣；
似乎，
她在生病了或她在示威？
無論如何，
下午6:15分是好時間 － 放工！！

—Usage note
Good is common as an adverb in informal speech, especially after forms of do: He did good on the test. She sees good with her new glasses. This use does not occur in formal speech or edited writing, where the adverb well is used instead: He did well on the test. She sees well with her new glasses.
The adjective good is standard after linking verbs like taste, smell, look, feel, be, and seem: Everything tastes good. The biscuits smell good. You're looking good today. When used after look or feel, good may refer to spirits as well as health: I'm feeling pretty good this morning, ready to take on the world. Well is both an adjective and an adverb. As an adjective used after look, feel, or other linking verbs, it often refers to good health: You're looking well; we missed you while you were in the hospital. See also bad.

Word Origin & History
good
O.E. god (with a long "o") "having the right or desirable quality," from P.Gmc. *gothaz (cf. O.N. goðr, Du. goed, Ger. gut, Goth. goþs ), originally "fit, adequate, belonging together," from PIE base *ghedh- "to unite, be associated, suitable" (cf. O.C.S. godu "pleasing time," Rus. godnyi "fit, suitable," O.E. gædrian "to gather, to take up together"). Irregular comparatives ( better, best ) reflect a widespread pattern, cf. L. bonus, melior, optimus . First record of good day is from c.1200. Goods "property" first recorded late 13c., but singular in the same sense was in O.E. The good neighbours is Scot. euphemism for "the fairies" (1580s). Good-for-nothing is from 1711; good-looking is from 1780; good-natured first recorded 1570s. Good sport is from 1917; good to go is attested from 1989. Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper

—Usage note
Good is common as an adverb in informal speech, especially after forms of do: He did good on the test. She sees good with her new glasses. This use does not occur in formal speech or edited writing, where the adverb well is used instead: He did well on the test. She sees well with her new glasses.
The adjective good is standard after linking verbs like taste, smell, look, feel, be, and seem: Everything tastes good. The biscuits smell good. You're looking good today. When used after look or feel, good may refer to spirits as well as health: I'm feeling pretty good this morning, ready to take on the world. Well is both an adjective and an adverb. As an adjective used after look, feel, or other linking verbs, it often refers to good health: You're looking well; we missed you while you were in the hospital. See also bad.

Word Origin & History
good
O.E. god (with a long "o") "having the right or desirable quality," from P.Gmc. *gothaz (cf. O.N. goðr, Du. goed, Ger. gut, Goth. goþs ), originally "fit, adequate, belonging together," from PIE base *ghedh- "to unite, be associated, suitable" (cf. O.C.S. godu "pleasing time," Rus. godnyi "fit, suitable," O.E. gædrian "to gather, to take up together"). Irregular comparatives ( better, best ) reflect a widespread pattern, cf. L. bonus, melior, optimus . First record of good day is from c.1200. Goods "property" first recorded late 13c., but singular in the same sense was in O.E. The good neighbours is Scot. euphemism for "the fairies" (1580s). Good-for-nothing is from 1711; good-looking is from 1780; good-natured first recorded 1570s. Good sport is from 1917; good to go is attested from 1989. Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper

天有不測之風雲
放工時天下著很大很大的雨,
真是下雨天,
留堂天,
等了很久.
終於像小了點才往外走,
怎知,
雨又再次大起來.
街上巴士站亦堆了很多人,
傘子亦好像沒有用似的.
衣服及鞋子亦濕透了.
雖然如此,
我想我的心情不應受其影響,
我應該用正面及欣賞的角度去面對這美麗恆常的大自然變化.
其實落雨沒有什麼特別,
人生無常,
但雨後又將會是更晴朗的一天!

亞洲最貴的杯裝咖啡
http://hk.biz.yahoo.com/100728/362/3vi75.html
咖啡迷們在北京將會生活得很窘迫，而在孟加拉則會倍感愜意。北京在我們的20個杯裝咖啡最貴城市榜單上高居榜首。
假設你在北京，兜裏有50元（合七美元多一點）。能買到什麼呢？一杯上好的澳大利亞或智利葡萄酒；四、五張盜版 DVD 碟片；一個月的公交費；亦或是一杯咖啡。
中國的這個大型首都城市在我們的亞洲20個杯裝咖啡最貴城市榜單上高居榜首。諮詢公司美世 (Mercer) 的年度生活成本調查顯示，在擁有1400萬人口的北京，來自全球知名品牌的一杯咖啡連同小費要花去消費者7.17美元。一杯咖啡價格超過五美元的城市還包括香港、臺北、首爾、日本的東京和大阪，以及四座大陸城市：廣州、上海、沈陽和深圳。
諮詢公司美世的日內瓦研究人員 Marie-Laurence Sepede 表示：「這些城市在快速發展。在印度，隨著城市的發展，物價顯著上漲，越來越多的奢侈品牌進駐該市場。因此物價一直在上漲。馬尼拉、吉隆玻以及其他快速發展國家的城市也是如此。」

雞姓人頭痛 網上為孩子徵名
雞姓人頭痛 網上為孩子徵名
(明報)2010年7月28日 星期三 05:10
http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100727/4/jdtb.html
【明報專訊】「我姓雞，小孩該叫什麼名字？」內地近日有人在網上「求救」，希望徵得孩子的名字，結果得到「雞蛋」、「雞低批（GDP）」、「雞肋」、「雞器（機器）」、「雞德肯（「肯德雞」倒轉）」等讓人啼笑皆非的回應。
河南省中原姓氏文化研究所所長謝鈞祥表示，雞姓確實存在，是廣西特有的姓氏，源自壯族。據《中國姓氏大全》記載，廣西東興縣有1000多人姓雞，防城和欽州等縣市也有少許。據考證，姓雞者最初其實姓「奚」，高始祖叫奚廷拱，原籍山東。明朝永樂年間曾抵禦倭寇入侵，後來子嗣演變為雞姓。
死姓想改 家人反對
此外，網友張拉說，他有個朋友叫「死軍」，每次自我介紹時都含糊說：「我姓死」。死軍常覺得這個姓令他痛苦得要死。張拉說，死軍曾想去派出所改姓，但遭家人反對。除了死、雞這些罕見姓氏難取名字，中國現存的癬、啞、塚、髒、孬、騷、屎、尿、廁、糞、屍這些姓氏看來更讓人頭痛。

One of my computer teachers
Met a computer teacher on my way home.
It made me think of his story....
It was many years ago, I took a computer programming course in the evening, it was quite difficult, and the students got fewer and fewer, we had plenty of assignments and one final exam.
As time passed, I realised that one student was the teacher 's girl friend, and she didn't need to do much work and he helped him to do anything, especially during the final.
When the final result came out, most of the students failed, except four, I was one and his girl-friend also.
What a teacher, I didn't have respect for this teacher at all.
Later on, I knew that his girl-friend became his wife, and both of them also are teachers.
I didn't think they are good examples for students.

Congee - Beautiful Sunday
Passed by Seng Kei about 12:30PM, surprisingly it was still opened.
As a result, decided to have congee for lunch, the owner told me that most of the items were sold out and there were not many choices - no problem ! I can still enjoy skipping any cooking in the kitchen.
I ordered one fish congee and one beef congee for take away.
At the same time, chatted with the couple who are very hardworking people and their business is very good.
They said that they open 7:30AM, but the kitchen 's work (for preparation) starts at 12 AM - cooking congee takes time, and their work begins at 4:30 every morning. So that means they have long day, even though the business hour is only in the morning time!!
Under the hot summer, eating congee is quite good.

让生命随梦飞扬

蔡凯琳（澳门）
(作为企业家，蔡凯琳选择的是医药行业，而这同时也是她学的专业，医师的冷静和济世情怀，让蔡凯琳的学术成就令医学界瞩目，企业家的理性和创新精神，让她的产品进入世界许多国家。而她的人生历程亦如她写下的段段撩动心弦的文字，其间流淌的却是可品可读的感人情怀。)
我把压力当动力
大诗人普希金的名句：「生命诚可贵/爱情价更高/若为自由故/二者皆可拋」。我为了寻求独立、自由、平淡的生活，我舍弃名利和较优裕安定的环境，只身来到澳门，在这陌生社会，无依、无靠、无助的生活。由零开始创业，所遇的辛酸与险恶，难以言喻。在澳门十多年的坎坷经历、挫折和逆境。我这个澳门新移民体会了现实的残酷、人情冷暖、世态炎凉，尝够了雪上加霜。
在澳门我曾数次濒临人生绝境，由于信念、毅力和友人帮助，我才绝处逢生。在独立创业初期，有人向我诉苦，称家中发生了很大困难，向我借钱周转。我倾尽所有助她，不久她们一家便销声匿迹。山穷水尽时，翻遍所有抽屉、口袋，才找到八个毫子。拖着饿得软弱无力的腿，艰难落楼，准备到对面街买油条充饥。过马路时掉了一毫子在路上，我正弯腰捡，突然冲过来一辆「的士」，司机大声骂我，「你想死，不要死在我车下」……我买了四根油条回到大厦，梯间坐着正在哭泣的邻居小兄妹，他们失业很久的父母出去找工作，扔下他们从早上到下午三点多还未吃饭，我将手上的油条给了两个可怜的孩子。而我却饿昏倒地，醒来时已在医院……出院前，我请人帮我影了一张「皮包骨」的相，放入银包。它提醒我：人生的路是这样走过来的，要珍惜现在，不信命运，天大的困难也不放弃。
那年农历年三十下午，业主强行收回我的住房，他是香港的大慈善家，对我却不慈善。我默默地走到街上，贺年的炮竹在我身旁不断炸响，我已没有感觉……幸亏我法国的同学SINE的父母，知道了我的困境，年初一的清晨，他们在南湾海边找到了我，把我接入他们刚装修的新楼主人房，我才没有流落街头。每每忆起，心里总会涌起一股感激暖流。
我坚决不受命运摆布，要靠自己的努力，去追求独立、自由和成功之路。终于，我拿到了注册医师执业牌照，开了一间诊所。凭着精湛的医术和热情的服务，病人逐渐多了起来，每天看症数十人，还需凌晨排队拿「筹仔」。
但似乎荆途和逆境与我结下了不解之缘。先是不断接到恐吓电话「你来澳门抢饭碗，小心！」。无缘无故地撞了两次车，腰背腿手都受了伤……一个单身的女性还多了一层麻烦，况且当时我年青。常常有人「喜欢」我，有东方人，有西方人，对我有甜言，有蜜语、用金钱物质等种种「表示」，由于性格孤傲的我抱定独身主意，对所有「表示」一概拒绝。但是，对付那些「有势力的」人的骚扰和纠缠乃至中伤，令我心力交瘁。有位朋友劝我：应承某位有地位人士的追求，她说，「妻凭夫贵」啊！我没有。我全情投入工作，寂寞地走自己的路。
经历过这么多事情，我已不觉痛，也许痛得太多，麻木了，我还是我，只是对人性，我有了进一步的了解。由于人种、民族、家庭、教育、经历等背景不同，道德标准和思维方法都不同，放眼世界，绝无完美的人和事，只有各自按自己的标准，或社会规范不断完善，做人凭良知良心。
每个人的人生道路不同，我这条自立的人生路很难走，是自己拣的，我不悔，我把压力当动力，常常偷偷擦干泪水面对困境。虽然商业社会充满诱惑陷阱，全赖自己的定力生活态度取向。我在澳门廿几年苦苦挣扎，对我人生影响深远。现在我生活虽简单，但我知足、自豪，我十分享受这种平淡，这正是我追求的。
我用做诗抒发情怀、享受孤寂
孤独一人的我，选择了用写作，来抒发我的情怀和享受孤寂。自八十年代初至九十年代中，我给澳门报纸写了大量的诗和散文，在我的专栏「心湖萍影」中发表，我还曾出版一本诗集「情缘、情醉、情牵」。
「心潮」——飞絮 游丝，串成归思。/芳草 繁花，一片寂寞。/半园 坠粉流香，哪堪风雨？/半生 情缘 情醉 情牵，是空白缠绵。/
「我似蜂」——妈妈，您耽心；我似蚁，无声无息奔忙，任人践踏。/妈妈，请您放心；我要学蜂，默默采蜜，为了整体生命的续。/
「月残 更残 人更残」——一夜转恻，彻夜忧思幽森，直到——月残。/一夜追忆，彻夜心潮忐忑，直到——更残。/一夜伏案，彻夜忙不停，直到——露晞。/月残，更残，露晞了时，身心更倦。/
「卜算子」——镜海旧堤边，/思人间散聚。/海水朦胧向晚寒，/斜溅潇潇雨。/无意问浮沉，/只眷幽栖处。/飘地还看落叶稠，/泥土芳如故。/
清平乐「乡愁」——呢喃无语，/问燕归何处？/黄叶纷飞如阵雨，/几许离情难数。/竖琴弹奏轻轻，/莫愁夜永情萦，/极目云天故里，/欲归难舍小城。/
我在澳门燃烧理想
一个地方的生命力，不在于它的大小，而在于它的精神，在于它的精神面貌。澳门现在的精神面貌像个十八、九岁的少女，她是朝气蓬勃向上的。
澳门社会安定，政治噪音少，政府的官员年轻，有谋略，有知识、廉洁，我看到了这一点，所以在「回归」前决定留在澳门，不回海外去，我的家人感到很奇怪，为什么我要留在一个世界地图上都找不到的小地方？我曾写过一首诗来响应——心归何处？/是久违的故土？还是遥远的「高堂」？/我恋故土恋亲人。/身却仍在濠江。/亲人说：「濠江不是你的家，何必忍受孤寂，/回来吧！你的家在这里。」/乡亲说：「小城不是你的根，为何要留连？回来吧！这是你故乡。」/我这游子是只蚂蚁儿，/在濠江我的蚁巢，/找到平淡无华。/静静、匆匆不停地，/燃烧理想。
我人生最终的梦
我的前半生除了读书，就是做医生，当我决定留在澳门开办制药厂时，我毅然结束了多年的诊所，走向人生另一个阶段，创办制药厂——它是我人生最终的梦，我要将自己的专业知识，一生心血留在人间，每天我只睡三、四小时，常常通宵达旦，我在自己多年的临床经验的基础上，不断研究化验，取得了50多项发明成果，其中几项跻身于世界前沿。
能够帮助患者解除身体疾病的困扰，是我最开心的事情。我们药厂充满生命力，我获得了许多友谊、鼓励。2003年，澳门贸促局李柄康主席、陈敬红执行委员、吴旭辉高级经理来到我们厂来巡视，李主席鼓励我们说：「你们是澳门的骄傲」。我开药厂是用一个医生的良心去制药，不是追求最大利润，人家说我蠢。如果社会的「蠢人」多一些，也许世界会安宁些。
我用自己一生的时间，从事和研究中医药，我的产品令不少人抗衰老，恢复了活力，美丽了肌肤容貌。自己却由于长期过度透支，和20多年不断以自己的身体来试验药的毒性而令自己加速衰老。令我失去了青春，失去了美丽，失去了健康，我将青春美丽健康给了我的病人，给了消费者，我无怨！无悔！

蔡凯琳（澳门）
(作为企业家，蔡凯琳选择的是医药行业，而这同时也是她学的专业，医师的冷静和济世情怀，让蔡凯琳的学术成就令医学界瞩目，企业家的理性和创新精神，让她的产品进入世界许多国家。而她的人生历程亦如她写下的段段撩动心弦的文字，其间流淌的却是可品可读的感人情怀。)
我把压力当动力
大诗人普希金的名句：「生命诚可贵/爱情价更高/若为自由故/二者皆可拋」。我为了寻求独立、自由、平淡的生活，我舍弃名利和较优裕安定的环境，只身来到澳门，在这陌生社会，无依、无靠、无助的生活。由零开始创业，所遇的辛酸与险恶，难以言喻。在澳门十多年的坎坷经历、挫折和逆境。我这个澳门新移民体会了现实的残酷、人情冷暖、世态炎凉，尝够了雪上加霜。
在澳门我曾数次濒临人生绝境，由于信念、毅力和友人帮助，我才绝处逢生。在独立创业初期，有人向我诉苦，称家中发生了很大困难，向我借钱周转。我倾尽所有助她，不久她们一家便销声匿迹。山穷水尽时，翻遍所有抽屉、口袋，才找到八个毫子。拖着饿得软弱无力的腿，艰难落楼，准备到对面街买油条充饥。过马路时掉了一毫子在路上，我正弯腰捡，突然冲过来一辆「的士」，司机大声骂我，「你想死，不要死在我车下」……我买了四根油条回到大厦，梯间坐着正在哭泣的邻居小兄妹，他们失业很久的父母出去找工作，扔下他们从早上到下午三点多还未吃饭，我将手上的油条给了两个可怜的孩子。而我却饿昏倒地，醒来时已在医院……出院前，我请人帮我影了一张「皮包骨」的相，放入银包。它提醒我：人生的路是这样走过来的，要珍惜现在，不信命运，天大的困难也不放弃。
那年农历年三十下午，业主强行收回我的住房，他是香港的大慈善家，对我却不慈善。我默默地走到街上，贺年的炮竹在我身旁不断炸响，我已没有感觉……幸亏我法国的同学SINE的父母，知道了我的困境，年初一的清晨，他们在南湾海边找到了我，把我接入他们刚装修的新楼主人房，我才没有流落街头。每每忆起，心里总会涌起一股感激暖流。
我坚决不受命运摆布，要靠自己的努力，去追求独立、自由和成功之路。终于，我拿到了注册医师执业牌照，开了一间诊所。凭着精湛的医术和热情的服务，病人逐渐多了起来，每天看症数十人，还需凌晨排队拿「筹仔」。
但似乎荆途和逆境与我结下了不解之缘。先是不断接到恐吓电话「你来澳门抢饭碗，小心！」。无缘无故地撞了两次车，腰背腿手都受了伤……一个单身的女性还多了一层麻烦，况且当时我年青。常常有人「喜欢」我，有东方人，有西方人，对我有甜言，有蜜语、用金钱物质等种种「表示」，由于性格孤傲的我抱定独身主意，对所有「表示」一概拒绝。但是，对付那些「有势力的」人的骚扰和纠缠乃至中伤，令我心力交瘁。有位朋友劝我：应承某位有地位人士的追求，她说，「妻凭夫贵」啊！我没有。我全情投入工作，寂寞地走自己的路。

健康十大祕訣 輕鬆成為健康績優股
2008/11/13 09:42
您吃對了嗎？現代人的飲食有許許多多的迷思，各式佳餚食譜、營養食品處方等，令人眼花撩亂、無所適從，常言道：「病從口入。」「吃什麼東西，就會變成什麼樣的人」。
奇美醫院營養科 - 李春松主任表示，早期台灣人多死於傳染疾病，而威脅現代人的隱形殺手是慢性的癌症和心血管疾病等，分析兩者的差異，台灣人以前的飲食習慣不錯，只不過是衛生條件差。而現代台灣人的慢性病又可稱為「生活習慣病」，這些病在五十年前的台灣是很少發生的，因為許多病情是因為錯誤的飲食和生活習慣所引起，若能遵行正確的飲食法，可以讓身體情況改善，健康過生活。
李春松主任特別提供以下一些健康祕訣:
1. 疾病不是神給我們的考驗或懲罰，而是不良習慣不斷累積的結果。
2. 烹調之後放置一段時間的油炸食物絕對不可再吃，因為不論哪一種油，與空氣接觸，很快即開始氧化；此外，應避免人造奶油。
3. 直接食用穀物、豆類、堅果或植物的種子等食物，這是安全且健康的油脂攝取方式。
4. 植物性食物與動物性食物的比例為85：15，其中穀物50％（最好選擇未精製的產品），蔬菜和水果占35∼40％，動物性食物占10∼15％。
5. 選擇未精製的新鮮食物，盡可能保持自然的狀態。
6. 乳糖不耐症、過敏體質的人，以及不喜歡牛奶和乳製品的人更要完全避免牛奶和乳製品。
7. 充份咀嚼，勿暴飲暴食。每一口要咀嚼30∼50次，這樣的話，普通的食物都能完全嚼碎，很自然的下嚥。若是堅硬或不易消化的食物，則不妨咀嚼70次。人類的身體，越咀嚼唾液的分泌越旺盛，與胃液、膽汁等充份混合後，可幫助消化。
8. 要預防小兒氣喘、睡眠呼吸中止症、心肌梗塞、心臟麻痺等疾病，務必養成就寢時讓胃部淨空的習慣。
9. 夜裡實在難忍飢餓的人，建議吃少量新鮮而富含酵素的水果。含有酵素的水果非常容易消化，大約三、四十分鐘就可從胃部移動至腸內。因此吃了水果，經過一個小時後睡覺就無需擔心逆流的問題。
10. 攝取大量好水，每天約1500c.c.。
李春松主任建議，只要有空，就閉起眼睛深呼吸。每天深呼吸數十次，即可充分獲得足夠的氧，使精神狀態安定，還具有提高免疫功能的效果。
希望大家都能夠在「不生病」的狀態下，活出健康、長壽的豐富人生！

四個老婆
Received from a friend:
釋迦牟尼在一次法會上說了個故事：有個富商，討有四個老婆。
第一個老婆伶俐可愛，整天作陪、寸步不離；
第二個老婆是搶來的，是個大美人；
第三個老婆，沉溺於生活瑣事，讓他過著安定的生活；
第四個老婆工作勤奮，東奔西走，使丈夫根本忘記了她的存在。
平日，商人一直很疼愛、重視前三個老婆，卻常常忽略了照顧第四個老婆。
有一次，商人要出遠門，為免除長途旅行時的寂寞，
商人把自己的想法告訴了四個老婆，希望能有人願意陪同他一起前往。
第一個老婆說：「你自己去吧！我才不陪你哩！」
第二個老婆說：「我是被你搶來的，本來就不甘心情願地當你的老婆，我才不去呢！」
第三個老婆說：「儘管我是你的老婆，可我不愿受風餐露宿之苦，我最多送你到城郊﹗」
第四個老婆說：「既然我是你的老婆，無論你到哪裡，我都跟著你一起。」
於是，商人只有帶著被自己常常忽視的第四個老婆，開始了他遠行的旅程。
最後，釋迦牟尼說：各位，這個商人是誰呢？就是你們自己。
第一個老婆是指『肉體』，死後還是要與自己分開的；
第二個老婆是指『財產』，它生不帶來、死不帶去；
第三個老婆是指『自己的妻子』，活時兩個相依為命，死後還是要分道揚鑣；
第四個老婆是指『自心』，人們時常忘記它的存在，但它卻會永遠陪伴著自己。

世界各地声援面临死刑伊朗妇女
世界各地周六（7月24日）举行集会，声援一名因通奸罪被判处死刑的伊朗妇女。
萨吉娜·阿什迪阿尼曾被告知，她将被石头砸死。后来由于来自国际社会的压力，她的死刑被暂停。
根据伊朗法律，阿什迪阿尼犯有“婚姻外的非法关系”罪，她已接受被鞭打99下的刑罚。
在审判了一名被控谋杀阿什迪阿尼丈夫的男子后，两个孩子的母亲、43岁的阿什迪阿尼被裁定犯有通奸罪。在伊朗，这是一个可以判处死刑的罪名。

Song - Emotion
Emotion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBgAj4cNee4
Words and music by Barry Gibb
It's over and done
but the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to
instead of me tonight?
(And where are you now?)
now that I need you
(Tears on my pillow)
wherever you go
(I'll cry me a river)
that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
in the words of a broken heart
(chorus)
It's just emotion
that's taken me over
Tied up in sorrow
lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be
nobody left in this world
to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world
to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
I'm there at your side
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star
(And where are you now?)
now that I need you
(Tears on my pillow)
wherever you go
(I'll cry me a river)
that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
in the words of a broken heart
(chorus)
Goodnight, goodnight

Tied up in sorrow
lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
come home to me, darling
You know that there'll be
nobody left in this world
to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world
to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
I'm there at your side
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star
(And where are you now?)
now that I need you
(Tears on my pillow)
wherever you go
(I'll cry me a river)
that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
in the words of a broken heart
(chorus)
Goodnight, goodnight

LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE (Melissa Manchester)
Please, don't let this feeling end,
It's ev'rything I am,
Ev'rything I wanna be;
I can see what's mine now,
Finding out what's true,
Since I've found you
Lookin' through the eyes of love
Now I can take the time,
I can see my life
As it comes on shining now;
Reachin' out to touch you,
I can feel so much,
Since I've found you
Lookin' through the eyes of love.
And now I do believe,
That even in a storm, we'll find some light;
Knowin' you're beside me,
I'm alright.
Please, don't let this feelin' end,
It might not come again;
And I want to remember
How it feels to touch you;
How I feel so much,
Since I've found you
Lookin' through the eyes of love.

Song - Candle on the water
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=964k9GT7g4c
I'll be your candle on the water,
My love for you will always burn.
I know your lost and drifting.
But the clouds are lifting,
Don't give up you have somewhere to turn.
I'll be your candle on the water,
Till every wave is warm and bright.
My soul is there beside you.
Let this candle guide you,
soon you'll see a golden stream of light.
A cold and friendless tide has found you,
don't let the stormy darkness pull you down.
I'll paint a ray of hope around you,
circling the air lighted by a prayer.
I'll be your candle on the water,
this flame inside of me will grow.
Keep holding on, you'll make it,
Here's my hand so take it,
look for me reaching out to show
as sure as rivers flow,
I'll never let you go,
I'll never let you go,
I'll never let you go
I'll be your candle on the water,
My love for you will always burn.
I know your lost and drifting.
But the clouds are lifting,
Don't give up you have somewhere to turn.
I'll be your candle on the water,
Till every wave is warm and bright.
My soul is there beside you.
Let this candle guide you,
soon you'll see a golden stream of light.
A cold and friendless tide has found you,
don't let the stormy darkness pull you down.
I'll paint a ray of hope around you,
circling the air lighted by a prayer.
I'll be your candle on the water,
this flame inside of me will grow.
Keep holding on, you'll make it,
Here's my hand so take it,
look for me reaching out to show
as sure as rivers flow,
I'll never let you go,
I'll never let you go,
I'll never let you go

Teachers Caught Cheating老師出貓

Some Critics Blame Pressure Of Standardized Testing
Education In America

.(AP) High-stakes standardized testing has led to high-level cheating - by teachers trying to gain an advantage for their students.
From 1999 through the spring of 2002, New York education officials found 21 proven cases of teacher cheating from Buffalo to Long Island, according to records obtained under the state Freedom of Information Law. Teachers usually reported cheating but some said the practice is more common than records show.
Teachers have read off answers during a test, sent students back to correct wrong answers, photocopied secure tests for use in class, inflated scores, and peeked at questions then drilled those topics in class before the test, according to records obtained by The Associated Press.
"Teachers care a lot, sometimes they care too much and try to provide too much help," said Dennis Tompkins, spokesman for New York State United Teachers, the state's largest teachers' union. "I don't think our members are Machiavellian. I think they are just trying to help the kids do better."
New York's teachers are not alone.
•A Reston, Va., teacher was placed on paid leave in June 2000 and 18 eighth-graders were retested after they allegedly were prepped with questions that showed up on their state social studies exam.
•Students at a Columbus, Ohio, school praised for its test scores by President Clinton said earlier in 2000 that adult tutors guided their pencils to the correct answers or calculated math problems while they took the mandatory state test.
•In 1999, a report by the New York City School District found similar incidents of teacher cheating, including finishing sentences in essays.
•A grand jury in Austin, Texas, indicted 18 school officials in April 2000 for altering student tests.
In New York, Deputy Education Commissioner James Kadamus said the state started monitoring teachers because it believed they would have more incentive to cheat to meet the new standards.
"We may be investigating more," he said. "But I wouldn't see any major change" in the number of teachers caught cheating.
Cheating in some New York state schools changed scores so much that it invalidated the "school report cards" used by parents, taxpayers and the state to evaluate the performance of schools and educators.
"If students have academic weaknesses, their teachers need to strive to fix it, not cover it up and refuse to acknowledge it exists," said Andrea Rogers of the Foundation for Education Reform and Accountability. She recommends revocation of a cheating teacher's license.
Most of the teachers quit, were suspended or fired - or faced state discipline that could lead to dismissal.
The records, which did not identify teachers by name, show:
•A high school teacher reported all his students passed the December 2000 Regents chemistry exam. An investigation found 62 of 63 of the exams were scored higher than deserved and 16 students failed.
•An elementary school teacher coached students in the May 2002 fourth grade math test, including telling them when they made an error. The teacher said she "does this all the time during tests and saw nothing wrong with it."
"Teachers are under a lot of pressure to get good grades," she told administrators.
A Harvard study published this year also found similar cases of cheating in Chicago schools fueled by teachers' need to improve standardized test scores.
"We found cheating increased by 30 to 50 percent because of high-stakes testing," said Brian Jacobs of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and co-author of the report "Rotten Apples."

再次找我過去 似夢幻歲月
腦裡一片綠油油 依稀想起她
心中只想再一訴 那舊日故事
**每一張可愛 在遠處的笑面
每一分親切 在這個溫暖家鄉故地

看透天際深處 道上沒晚霞
在這個黑暗漫長 夜靜沒對話
身邊只想擁有你 伴著我在路途
再次返到家鄉裡 夢幻已是現在
看有多少生疏的臉 默默露笑容
那裡一片綠油油 早風輕輕吹
細聽媽媽低聲訴 那舊日故事
已過去的不可再 今天又再憶起
一雙只懂哭的眼 落淚又再落淚

60' Romantic Story in Macau
My new Portuguese collegue L told me his background story about the linkage of Macau, I just didn't pay attention at all and today, we were chatting again and the conversation reinforces the love story of his parents.
L came from Portugal last October, he told me that he visited Macao once and he loved in first sight and decided to live and work in Macau, as a result, he applied a job here.
He has a very special background story - his grandfather was a judge in Macau many many years ago, therefore his mother lived in Macau when she was small. When she grew up, she became a teacher in the Portuguese school( Escola Pedro Nolasco). L's father worked as a medical doctor in the Navy and arrived Macau in the 60'. The two met in Macau and fell in love.
They got married and went back to Portugal, after 40 years, two of them have 4 kids and L is one of their children. They never came back to Macau after their marriage.
Their son was attracted to this wonderful land and is now working in Macau, and the two will come to visit their son in the coming October for one month.
I bet two of them will be very surpised of the changes for Macau, but anyway,after listening to L's story, I conclude his parents' story is really romantic.
C'est romantique!

9 Fast, Healthy Breakfast Ideas
By Maureen Callahan
Nutritious morning meals you can eat while driving, walking, or sprinting out the door.
http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/recipe-collections-favorites/healthy-meals/breakfast-to-go-10000001047596/index.html
Fruit and Cheese
A balanced, easy-to-assemble make-ahead morning meal: Grab an apple, wrap 1 to 2 ounces of Cheddar in plastic, and toss ¼ cup of fiber- and protein-rich walnuts into a resealable plastic bag.
Peanut Butter Waffle
Instead of dousing a whole-grain or bran toaster waffle in syrup, cut the sugar and boost the protein and fiber by spreading it with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. You can also sprinkle on 1 tablespoon of raisins, sesame seeds, or extra peanuts for even more fiber, which helps deliver the meal's nutrients slowly and steadily.
Plain Doughnut With Chocolate Milk
A plain cake-style doughnut is usually a better choice than a bakery muffin. At Dunkin' Donuts, for instance, an old-fashioned doughnut has 280 calories, while a corn muffin has 510 calories. Add fiber by eating ¼ cup of almonds or dried fruit. Instead of coffee, try 8 ounces of low-fat chocolate milk.
Strawberry Shake
In a cocktail shaker, combine a packet of vanilla or strawberry instant-breakfast powder (look for the no-sugar-added kind, such as Carnation) and 1 cup of low-fat strawberry cow's milk or soy milk. (You can also mix this the night before.) If you have time, use a blender to add strawberries or a frozen banana, for extra fiber, and a scoop of protein powder, such as GeniSoy Natural.
Morning Pizza
You could have a slice of last night's pizza (it's preferable to filling up on sugar or skipping breakfast). Or you could try a more sophisticated spin: Take a slice of crusty bread, spread it with 3 tablespoons of low-fat ricotta, and add tomatoes. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil (about 1 teaspoon) and a little salt and pepper. Broiling is optional.
Energy Bars
To substitute for a meal, an energy bar should have at least 3 to 5 grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein. Odwalla, Kashi GoLean, and TruSoy are all good options. Because cereal bars rarely have more than 2 grams of protein, kids might be better off adding a stick of Go-Gurt! and a sleeve of peanuts.
Egg McMuffin
Yes, you read that right. If you must eat fast food in the morning, get an Egg McMuffin at McDonald's. At 300 calories, it's not an outrageous meal. Plus it has a good amount of lean protein from the egg and the Canadian bacon. To trim empty calories, remove the top half of the muffin. For additional fiber, add a fresh orange.
Cereal "Sundae"
A bowl of fiber-rich bran flakes (about 1½ cups) with 8 ounces of low-fat milk is nearly the perfect breakfast. Make it portable by replacing the milk with lemon or vanilla yogurt and mixing it in a to-go container. Increase the fiber and vitamins by adding ¼ cup of nuts or fresh or dried fruit, such as chopped pecans or blueberries.
Huevos Rancheros
One of the most portable proteins is a hard-cooked egg, but it has no fiber or carbohydrates. So slice it, then roll it in an 8-inch whole-wheat tortilla with a piece of Canadian bacon or lean ham and, if you like, a ½-ounce slice of cheese. Add a tablespoon of salsa for a shot of flavor and a smidgen of vitamin C.

Best Foods to Stockpile for an Emergency
http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/shopping-storing/emergency-foods-00000000038238/index.html
Natural disasters—such as a flood, hurricane, or blizzard—often come without warning. Stocking up on the right non-perishable food items will help you weather the storm with less stress.
by Vanessa DiMaggio
Fueling your body during an emergency is very different from your everyday diet. Because you’ll probably expend more energy than you normally would, you should eat high-energy, high-protein foods. And because you have a limited supply, the higher-quality foods you eat—and the less of them—the better. “In a disaster or an emergency you want those calories,” says Barry Swanson, a food scientist at Washington State University. “You want some nutrients and some fiber—something to keep your diet normal.”
But that doesn’t mean you have to eat like a pauper. “In an emergency, generally you tend to think of meeting more basic needs than preferences and flavors,” says Elizabeth Andress, professor and food safety specialist at the University of Georgia. “But if you plan right, you can have a great variety of foods and nutrients.” Here, Andress and Swanson weigh in on what items you should include.
What to Always Keep in Your Pantry
These items have lengthy expiration dates, so you can stash them away for long periods of time. Make a list of everything in your stockpile and check expiration dates every 6 to 12 months to keep things fresh. And don’t forget to have a can opener on hand at all times—all that food won’t be of any use if you can’t open it.
• Peanut butter
A great source of energy, peanut butter is chock-full of healthful fats and protein. Unless the jar indicates otherwise, you don’t have to refrigerate after opening.
• Whole-wheat crackers
Crackers are a good replacement for bread and make a fine substitute in sandwiches. Due to their higher fat content, whole-wheat or whole-grain crackers have a shorter shelf life than their plain counterparts (check the box for expiration dates), but the extra fiber pays off when you’re particularly hungry. Consider vacuum-packing your crackers to prolong their freshness.
• Nuts and trail mixes
Stock up on these high-energy foods—they’re convenient for snacking and healthful. Look for vacuum-packed containers, which prevent the nuts from oxidizing and losing their freshness.
• Cereal
Choose multigrain cereals that are individually packaged so they don’t become stale after opening.
• Granola bars and power bars
Healthy and filling, these portable snacks usually stay fresh for at least six months. Plus, they’re an excellent source of carbohydrates. “You can get more energy from carbohydrates without [eating] tons of food,” Andress says.
• Dried fruits, such as apricots and raisins
In the absence of fresh fruit, these healthy snacks offer potassium and dietary fiber. “Dried fruits provide you with a significant amount of nutrients and calories,” Swanson says.
• Canned tuna, salmon, chicken, or turkey
Generally lasting at least two years in the pantry, canned meats provide essential protein. Vacuum-packed pouches have a shorter shelf life but will last at least six months, says Diane Van, manager of the USDA meat and poultry hotline.
• Canned vegetables, such as green beans, carrots, and peas
When the real deal isn’t an option, canned varieties can provide you with essential nutrients.
• Canned soups and chili
Soups and chili can be eaten straight out of the can and provide a variety of nutrients. Look for low-sodium options.
• Bottled water
Try to stock at least a three-day supply--you need at least one gallon per person per day. “A normally active person should drink at least a half gallon of water each day,” Andress says. “The other half gallon is for adding to food and washing.”
• Sports drinks, such as Gatorade or Powerade
The electrolytes and carbohydrates in these drinks will help you rehydrate and replenish fluid when water is scarce.
• Powdered milk
Almost all dairy products require refrigeration, so stock this substitute for an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D when fresh milk isn’t an option.
• Sugar, salt, and pepper
If you have access to a propane or charcoal stove, you may be doing some cooking. A basic supply of seasonings and sweeteners will improve the flavor of your food, both fresh and packaged.
• Multivitamins
Supplements will help replace the nutrients you would have consumed on a normal diet.
• Apples
Apples last up to three months when stored in a cool, dry area away from more perishable fruits (like bananas), which could cause them to ripen more quickly.
• Citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruits
Because of their high acid content and sturdy skins, citrus fruits can last for up to two weeks without refrigeration, particularly if you buy them when they’re not fully ripe. Oranges and grapefruits contain lots of vitamin C and will keep you hydrated.
• Avocadoes
If you buy an unripe, firm avocado, it will last outside the refrigerator for at least a week.
• Tomatoes
If you buy them unripe, tomatoes will last several days at room temperature.
• Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams
If you have access to a working stove, these root vegetables are good keepers and make tasty side dishes. Stored in a cool, dark area, potatoes will last about a month.
• Cucumbers and summer squash
These vegetables will last a few days outside of refrigeration and can be eaten raw.
• Winter squash
While most are inedible uncooked, winter squashes, such as acorn squash, will keep for a few months. If you’ll be able to cook during the emergency, stockpile a bunch.
• Hard, packaged sausages, such as sopressata and pepperoni
You can’t eat canned tuna and chicken forever. Try stocking up on a few packages of dry-cured salamis like sopressata, a southern Italian specialty available at most grocery stores. Unopened, they will keep for up to six weeks in the pantry, Van says.

「電飯煲大王」推銷電飯煲 攜臘腸逐戶教煮飯
http://hk.news.yahoo.com/article/100721/4/ja5v.html
(明報)2010年7月22日 星期四 05:10
【明報專訊】創立信興的蒙民偉有「電飯煲大王」之稱，源於他在1950年代機緣巧合成為日本 樂聲牌電器的代理，銷售電飯煲。60年代時，香港巿民多用瓦煲煮飯，蒙民偉帶著電飯煲、米和臘腸，逐家逐戶教人「煮飯」，結果信興至今在港累積售出超過1000萬個電飯煲。
蒙民偉當年所以成為樂聲電器獨家代理，原來是他到日本留學 時，結識了松下電器創辦人松下幸之助。他在一次雜誌訪問中談過這段經歷，說松下當年因為日本二戰結束後被西方制裁，當時松下第一句問蒙民偉「你有沒有錢？」，蒙民偉答「沒有」，松下便笑著和他握手，答應給他作代理。這麼多年來，蒙民偉履行對松下的承諾，專注代理松下的產品。
赴日留學 熱心公益捐助教育
蒙民偉不單被動地代理產品，亦向日本工程師提供意見，改良成更適合港人的電器，例如將飯煲蓋改以玻璃製造，用家不揭蓋也能看到飯面。
蒙民偉另一為人樂道的是熱心公益，他在1984年成立信興教育及慈善基金，支持香港和內地的教育、醫療、康樂、體育和音樂等公益事業。他亦多次向香港的大學和內地大學捐款，所以香港八間大專院校 內，都有以他名字命名的建築物。
1996年，中國科學院紫金山天文台 ，把一個編號為3678的小行星 命名為「蒙民偉星」，表揚他對促進中國經濟、科學、技術及教育發展的貢獻。

【本報訊】蒙民偉靠賣電飯煲起家，有「電器大王」稱號，早在上世紀五十年代便創立信興行，成為日本松下電器的港澳區總代理，他後來從日本引入樂聲牌電飯煲到本港推銷，卻處處碰壁，因當時香港社會仍瀰漫反日情緒，蒙推銷日貨可要捱罵，但他並無放棄，到處即場用電飯煲煮飯，當時仍用柴火或火水爐煮飯的人們嘖嘖稱奇，慢慢接受電飯煲。
不斷改良迎合港人口味
蒙最終能成功推銷電飯煲全靠食腦，因深知中國人愛於飯面蒸臘腸，於是改良電飯煲設計為玻璃蓋頂，讓家庭主婦知道何時飯熟，始放臘腸，這是輸港電飯煲與日本電飯煲的最大分別，成為經典。蒙又嫌本來的電飯煲不夠蒸氣，飯熟時無聲無氣，港人不太喜歡，故改良至加大蒸氣，令飯熟時有噗噗聲。
而樂聲牌電飯煲亦因他努力推銷，漸漸在本港普及，輸港的數量以倍計上升，由六○年入口一百個，激增至六五年八萬八千個，佔日本松下電飯煲出口量一半，時至今日，信興已售出逾千萬個電飯煲，獲松下送贈金電飯煲表揚。
電飯煲大賣後，蒙仍不斷鑽研新點子，令電飯煲功能多元化，先後加入煲粥和焗蛋糕功能，為電飯煲增值。在九十年代的移民潮，可以煲粥的電飯煲成為香港移民家庭必備電器之一。
