失聯
手機在香格里拉跌在地上，
不知是否高原反應，
機如人的生理一樣，
初時外部無損，
只畫面右下角屏幕碎花，
怎知數小時後，
碎花畫面擴散，
致最後屏幕全黑，
無法使用，
進入休息狀態，
我也進入失聯時期。
最需要手機時，
卻無機用，
方知其地位的重要，
位置决定價值！

早兩次想試，
但都超多人，
無枱。

店內充滿亞洲氣色，
隣桌是兩個美女，泰國人，
另一桌全是健碩陽光氣色的亞洲壯男，
另數桌都是良朋聚餐，
熱鬧。

- Days always fill up. Only plan for 4-5 hours of real work per day.
- Work more when you’re in the zone. Relax when you’re not.
- It's normal to have days where you just can't work and days where you'll work 12 hours straight. - Alain Paquin, Whatsnexx “
- Respect your time and make it respected. Your time is $1000/hour, and you need to act accordingly. - Jason Cohen
- Stop multi-tasking. It merely kills your focus. Answer emails Work on a big presentation Call clients Feel productive Answer emails Work on a big presentation Call clients Feel productive Multi-tasking like a big shot Single-threading and home at 5pm
- Set up a work routine and stick to it. Your body will adapt.
- We're always more focused and productive with limited time. At lease don’t quit your day job.
- Work is the best way to get working. Start with short tasks to get the ball rolling.
- Work iteratively. Expectations to do things perfectly are stifling. Doing is better than perfect. - Facebook company motto “
- More work hours doesn’t mean more productivity. Use constraints as opportunities.
- Separate brainless and strategic tasks to become more productive. Separate thinking and execution to execute faster and think better. - Sol Tanguay, Imarklab “
- Organize meetings early during the day. Time leading up to an event is often wasted. Work Try to work really try... 10am 12 noon 2 pm 4 pm REALLY Important Meeting
- Group meetings and communication (email or phone) to create blocks of uninterrupted work. A single meeting can blow a whole afternoon, by breaking it into two pieces each too small to do anything hard in. - Paul Graham, YCombinator “
- Keep the same context throughout the day. Switching between projects/clients is unproductive.
- Work around procrastination. Procrastinate between intense sprints of work (Pomodoro).
- Break the unreasonable down into little reasonable chunks. A big goal is only achieved when every little thing that you do everyday, gets you closer to that goal. - Maren Kate, Escaping the 9 to 5 “
- No 2 tasks ever hold the same importance. Always prioritize. Be really careful with to-do lists... Buy milk Open foreign bank account Perform open-heart surgery Clean desk
- Only ever work on the thing that will have the biggest impact. “ - Jason Cohen, Always know the one thing you really need to get done during the day.
- Break tasks into hour increments. Long tasks are hard to get into; feels like it all needs to get done. 19.
- If something can be done 80% as well by someone else, delegate! “ - John C. Maxwell, Author Delegate and learn to make use of other people.
- Yesterday’s home runs don’t win today’s games.“ - Babe Ruth, Hall of Fame Baseball player Turn the page on yesterday. Only ever think about today and tomorrow.
- Set deadlines for everything. Don't let tasks go on indefinitely.
- Set end dates for intense or stressful activities. Everything ends at some point.
- Get a reminder app for everything. Do not trust your own brain for your memory. - Julien Smith, Author “ Always take notes.
- Write down anything that distracts you- google searches, random thoughts, new ideas, whatever. The point is, if you write them down, they’ll stop bubbling up when you’re in the zone. - Steven Corona, Twitpic “
- Take breaks. Sometimes.

The tips, tricks and non-negotiables of winning speeches
https://smarterbusiness.telstra.com.au/success-stories/telstra-business-award-winners/the-tips-tricks-and-non-negotiables-of-winning-speeches?tc=di|3736651|20752893|1285854|414068504|215031663|98182760&dclid=CKnd8dDYwtsCFdMIvAod9H8PzQ
Business leaders give great speeches, and the 2017 Telstra Business Women's Awards finalists are no exception thanks to the tips, tricks and non-negotiables they are taught during the program.
Whether you're accepting an award for your growing business, inspiring your team or pitching to a client, these key learnings can be the secret to wowing the room.
There are many tips, tricks and non-negotiable for a successful speech.
Tips
- All presentations and speeches are ‘performance’. Not in any artificial sense, but rather in acknowledging the sense of occasion and lifting your skills to meet the moment.
- Preparation and rehearsal should be a non-negotiable part of the speaker’s process.
- Know the answer to “why you, why your company?” and translate this into a great sound bite!
- Passionately pursue your objectives by crafting memorable stories.
- Create impact and meaning.
Tricks
- Before you do anything else with your speech preparation, identify your fundamental intention and always be clear about your objectives.
- Understand the importance of diaphragmatic breathing for all speaking contexts. The undeniable excitement of winning an award will lift you up and take you to all sorts of places in the moment. Proper use of breath will empower appropriate physiology and vocal technique.
- Your body tells a story, but is it the story you are actually attempting to say? Maximise your physicality, strive for a strong presence that is congruent with your words.
- Words are powerful. Communication must be precise. Rehearse your opening lines every time. Rehearsal doesn't take away your ability to seize on a moment, or ad lib from something said in the MC’s the introduction. Every speaker should always have a couple of well-constructed opening lines to set up their intention.
- No matter how complacent or detached we think audiences might be becoming, it is completely up to a speaker to invest in quality communication every time they speak. Your presence in front of any audience should be about facilitating alertness, flexibility and responsiveness. This allows control via a balance of both expressed and assimilated energies.
- ‘Relationship’ is a guiding principle of all effective communication. Indeed acknowledging relationship is to acknowledge the common ground of any forum where people gather. If the audience is incorporated and invited to have an experience during a speech, then everyone wins!
Non- negotiables
Always Be Prepared: The most common misconception on speech-giving is that you will sound stilted or insincere if your speech is prepared before an actual win. The ethos of the Telstra Business Women’s Awards is about celebrating success, so it is incumbent on all speakers to present in the language of celebration, to share positive stories, to employ words that are affirming, inclusive and uplifting, and that capture the essence of the business story. To do this well, there must be preparation. Every speaker should know their stories of service, values, innovation, strength, courage, evolution, history, and success.
Craft a Meaningful Rehearsal Process: It is amazing how much time, effort and energy is expended on developing the content of a speech while the best mechanisms for delivery are ignored or relegated to an unnecessary step. Speech preparation should never be reduced to an obligation. Rehearsal and spontaneity go hand in hand, and paradoxically the more you know your material and how you want it to land in the room, the more you can be spontaneous.
Be a great storyteller! Like any theatrical performance, a speech will have a beginning, middle and an end. This is a basic structure, and the success of this format sits with its proven simplicity. Developing a language of achievement and framing such success in ways that are immediately accessible to any audience will allow for greater appreciation of your story. Know your theme. What comes to mind when someone hears your name?
Learn to manage nerves: It might sound simplistic, but the best way to work through nervous energy is by taking deep breaths. To convey any information with impact, you need to be the most powerful conduit for your message. Nervous energy will derail effectiveness. It may feel laborious and perfunctory to spend a lot of time concentrating on breathing, but the privilege of breathing is never lost on me!
Show humility no matter what your success: This is still an endearing quality to most audiences. Good communication equals good manners and good manners will never go out of style!
Keep the message simple: Less will always be more. Simply ensure that what you say truly matters, reflects who you are and is delivered from the heart.
Above all else, enjoy!
Barbara Warren has worked with the Telstra Business Women’s Awards as the speech coach for eight years. Her role is to coach all the extraordinary State and Territory finalists and explore the creative skills required to articulate their stories and achieve impact and connectivity. Barbara’s practical approach is drawn from her own experience as a small business owner, over twenty years’ experience in the corporate world, and twenty-five years as a performing arts practitioner. This multi-discipline frame of reference investigates communication from both a delivery and content perspective. All aspects of the presentation skills work she delivers promotes imagination, authentic connection, crafting compelling content and having a clear focus on speaking objectives and benefits.
Does a cashless society benefit everyone?
This story is from Who Needs Cash? an episode of Business Daily on BBC World Service. It was presented by Rob Young and produced by Vicki Broadbent. To listen to more episodes of Business Daily, please click here. Adapted by Sarah Keating.
“I think if cash disappears all over, it will be a very big problem… I’m afraid it is going too fast… so it’s a big concern if you have that feeling that society is not for you.”
Maijlis Jonsson is a 73-year-old living in the centre of Sweden’s capital Stockholm. She leads an active life with her friends, travelling around the city and meeting in coffee shops. However, one issue keeps cropping up that causes her stress.
Sweden has been steadily moving towards a completely cashless society for a number of years. Cash is now used in less than one in five of all cash transactions in stores – half the number as five years ago. The country has banned notes and coins on buses, many tourist attractions take plastic-only transactions.
The law says shops can refuse to accept cash. So many stores now have signs reading, “no cash, please.” Life can be hard for those unwilling or unable to embrace the changes.
Not everyone hates cash
Maijlis Jonsson is one such person. She must go to a bank in order to pay her friend back for a train ticket bought digitally. “Usually the fee is 79 krona which is about $9,” she says. “It is an awful lot of money… of course they always say you can do it for free on the internet but it’s a problem… some [of us] don’t know how to do it.”
She tries to pay for a cup of coffee at a café but the cashier refuses. “He didn’t want to have my money so I have to pay by card,” she says, adding that, in any case, ATMs are becoming harder and harder to come by in Stockholm.
Niklas Arvidsson, professor at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Sweden’s leading expert on the payment system, acknowledges that certain demographics are in danger of being left behind, like the elderly.
“We’ve also got a problem with smaller merchants in rural areas where perhaps the telecom systems are not working,” he says.

古早味……盛記白粥
同事的post影了他去盛記食東西的相，
剛好早幾天亦去了那處午餐，
因為牙痛，
選擇食白菜，
即大白粥及蘿蔔糕，
15元。
中午店內熱鬧，
人流不斷。
遠望牆上的懷舊畫，
憶起小時夜晚長輩會带我們去永樂看戲或去新橋行夜街，
都會走進店子消費，
那時食品一樣多元，
芋頭糕，红豆糕，千層糕，芝麻卷……
剛起鍋的油品放在每一桌上，
方便食客選吃，
對於小孩子真是很吸引，
款款油器都想吃，
當然不是每一願望都成真，
但當獲准選吃桌上的油品，
油炸鬼，牛脷穌，蛋散……
已是樂透，
又一美味回憶。

*我正在改變*
N分享的好文！
"有位朋友過了60歲，我問他有何改變？
以下是他的回文:
喔！有的，我正在改變。
以前我愛父母，手足，配偶，孩子，朋友，但現在我已開始愛我自己 。
我開始瞭解到，我不是地圖(Atlas)，其實我扛不起整個世界。
我不再跟賣菜和賣水果的小販討價還價。多付幾塊錢對我沒什麼影響 ，但有可能幫這個窮人存下他女兒的學費。
付計程車資時我不再等著司機找零錢，給他點小費或許會換來一個微 笑。畢竟他為了生計比我辛苦多了。
我不再對老人家說，這個故事你已講很多次了。畢竟這個故事讓他們 重拾回憶，重溫往事。
我已學會了不再糾正人們，即使是他們的錯。
讓每個人都完美，並非是我的責任。能讓事情和平更值得珍惜。
我自由且大方地給予讚美。這不僅讓對方心情變好，自己也受益 。
我學會了不要為我襯衫上的摺痕或斑點而煩惱。人格勝於外表 。
我遠離那些看不起我的人，畢竟他們不知道我的價值，我卻清楚。
我已學會了不要為堅持己見而破壞了關係。自我會讓我孤身一 人，而人際關係讓我永不孤單。
我已學會把每一天當成最後一天。真的有可能是最後一天。
我正在做讓我快樂的事。我有責任讓自己快樂，這是我對自己 應負的責任。
這並非易事，但值得一試。"

廳長
同學分享的一個笑話，
她辦公室的同事閒聊時告訴
其他同事，
她的丈夫最近做了廳長。
即時話題是，
這麽快，
他工作的職程只是技術員，
未做處長，
就升做廳長。
最後這位太太忙解釋，
是他健康出了問題，
不能躺在牀上睡，
只是整晚坐著睡。
怕影響她翌日工作的精神，
選擇駐守大廳，
名符其實家裏的廳長。

1,200成功人士共同特質
https://hk.finance.yahoo.com/news/
（1）成功人士知道甚麼是適當的時機
成功人士是知道他們應該是甚麼時候更換僱主、創立新公司或放棄公司。
他們對於這些情況有很好的直覺，即使身邊的人有反對的聲音，他們都不擔心作出選擇。
（2）成功人士做的多出所要求的
他們會認為他們所要求的工作只是工作的開始，完成後，會要求接受更多有挑戰性的工作，他們甚至做一些其他人不願意做或麻煩的工作。
（3）成功人士願意接受失敗
其實對很多人來說是一件困難的事，但成功人士是願意從失敗中學習，因為失敗的經驗是令到他們日後可以作出更好的決定，在以後取得成功。
很多人會在失敗之後放棄，但只有成功的人才知道要堅持下去。
（4）成功人士會自製運氣
運氣其實是來自一段長時間努力地工作。
你不會隨機地獲得幸運，成功的人都知道，他們每一天至少做一件事是令到自己進步以獲得運氣，然後隨之而成長。
（5）成功人士會設立可以完成的目標
成功的人每一天起床，會渡過他們計劃好的一天，而失敗的人會在爭先恐後地找出他們需要做的事情。
成功的人的目標都是非常集中，可以很偉大但他們是有能力做到。
他們知道他們的能力，並利用他們的優勢，努力地達成目標。
（6）成功人士會對自己的工作負責
他們很少會依賴其他人完成自己的工作。他們會自己去嘗試，和在有限的資源下找出解決方法。
如果他們犯了錯，他們會接受和想改進的方法，不會給機會自己犯同樣的錯誤。
（7）成功人士會作出改變，而不是被它所影響
成功人士並不會等待經濟趨勢影響，反而會是趨勢創造者。
（8）成功人士能夠適應市場的變化
成功人士願意進修自己，不會不適應市場上的變化。
因為他們明白如果你停滯不前，忽視趨勢，你就會落後於他人。
他們不斷提出新的想法和不斷地學習，並獲得新的技能。
（9）成功人士是有自信和有高表達能力
如果你問一個成功的人他們做什麼，他們將能夠以簡潔的方式告訴你所有的事情。
他們知道他們是誰，他們做了什麼，讓你對他們有信心。他們是非常有說服力和自信。
（10）成功人士向能夠提供正確答案的人們提出正確的問題
成功的人會懂得利用自己的人際網絡來解決問題。
他們不怕發郵件或打電話給能回答他們問題的最好的人。
所以平日不怕吃虧，主動幫人，建立自己的人際網絡。
（11）成功人士是終身學習者，他們把自己從自己的舒適區帶出來
雖然大多數人認為，當他們畢業後，他們不再是學生。
不過其實成功的人是不斷學習新事物，並有新的體驗。
他們並不害怕嘗試新的活動，也不介意自己失敗。
（12）成功人士有自己的願景和使命
成功人士有信心，可以領導自己以及其他人。
他們也不把時間浪費在他們不擅長或者不滿意的事情上，集中完成自己的使命和目標。
以上十二個共通點可以作參考之用，考慮自己需不需要改變自己的處事態度或對工作上的態度，加以改善。
