4 months holiday

I am officially starts my university 2nd year holiday now. 

=)

What I did during this period?

Yes, working have occupied more than half.

And, unbelievable, I promise my boss to be a part-timer when my school reopen.

Um... I don't know why? 

The paid is low,

but I will help him at least one semester la.. 

Hopefully, I can handle it. 

If you ask me, are you enjoy your holiday?

The answer should be OKAY lo... haha!!

For me,

The most right choice I make was joining 2 camps

and there is another 1 coming soon. 

The 1st camp I was KDM (Kem Dhamma Mandarin)

I am so glad to be there, 

There is the place where  I find myself again, 

and there is the place which initiated me to join the 2nd camp.

Actually I am always a serious girl, 

most of my friends know it, right?

I should say, most of my friends who worked with me before will know it.

Then, the 1st camp did change my style in 2nd camp.

Haha!!! Nice...

But, I should say sorry to my faci in KDM, 

as I was too aggressive to learn in that camp. 

They are so GREAT, Thanks =)

Then I started my working life,

First, I worked in an air-cond wholesale shop.

The reason I quit was the place is too hot.

Then I did work some part time, 

ENFRAGROW promoter.

4 days, 

It is a very easy job, but we have to stand for whole day,

they are actually running on project 

so I just manage to join 4days. 

What's next? 

My current job = CARESMART salesgirl.

Actually we are new shop, and many people still don't know the existence of us.

There is totally no customer in afternoon time

So 4 of us jz sit in a line and talking non-sense.

We can read book / read papers, 

but the worst is the time passed very slow.

After I read the whole papers 

the time is still early. 

Really boring some of the time

And my sisters keep nagging at me 

said 

I just learn to WASTE money in this job. 

I got the same feeling too... 

Too bad. 

So now, I stop the work lo...

And hehe!!!1 Officially starts my holiday.... =)

Ooopss....

Yup, my bf did come to find me few times during this holiday. 

He drove here every time and I know he will be verytired

and he came by bus at the last time.

Tired too, but at least better.

Thank you dear. =)

During this holiday

Got outing with family, friends, and boyfriend too...

So by right, my holiday is quite enjoy :-p

''Caresmart''

又假期了

假期了，去了两个营，都很有感触，但都懒惰updateblogger....

现在，做工咯。。。又有感触。就来扫蜘蛛网咯。um....早上想到，天下的老板都是一样的。然后又想到那首天下的妈妈都是一样的。好吧！就来改歌词。。。

词：打工人

曲：天下的妈妈都是一样的曲

天下的老板都是一样的
哦~ 天下的老板都是一样的
天下的老板都是一样的
哦~ 天下的老板都是一样的
不管风吹雨打，不管星期或列假
我的老板希望我们不放假，她说该把公司当做家
使唤是她的强项 点你这还要点你那
就算放工message都在响 她以为她是我妈妈

从早常常害怕 那是因为她很罗嗦
不要以为这是training大家 她只想她能发达
老板我求求你 别以为工人是机器
薪水从来不会令人满意 还说她已经尽了力

天下的老板都是一样的
哦~ 天下的老板都是一样的
天下的老板都是一样的
哦~ 天下的老板都是一样的

不管多么拼命 不管埃饿还是OT
为了你我们牺牲了自己 你却当是我们欠你
将来有那么一天 我自己当了boss-ss
公司在你对面后对你笑嘻嘻 说老板我爱你
天下的老板都是一样的
哦~ 天下的老板都是一样的
天下的老板都是一样的
哦~ 天下的老板都是一样的
天下的老板都是一样的
哦~ 天下的老板都是一样的
天下的老板都是一样的
哦~ 天下的老板都是一样的

哈哈！！打工人，不要每天埋怨拉（虽然我也是），不开心就离开（又是像我）。但，如果选择在那里工作，就开开心心的做吧！
ps: 就算想埋怨，还是多么不爽，还是得把自己分内的事做好哦（就像我）。

祝福大家！！！

Monk Mind: How to Increase Your Focus

Post written by Leo Babauta.

I confess to being as prone to the distractions of the Internet as anyone else: I will start reading about something that interests me and disappear down the rabbit hole for hours (even days) at a time.

But my ability to focus on a single task has dramatically improved, and that one habit has changed my life.

While a few years ago I couldn't sit down to work on something without quickly switching to email or one of my favorite Internet forums or sites, today I can sit down and write. I can clear away distractions, when I set my mind to it, and do one thing. And that changes everything: you lose yourself in that task, become so immersed that you pour everything you have into the work, and it becomes a meditative, transformative experience. Your happiness increases, stress goes down, and work improves.

I know that lots of people have trouble focusing one one task for very long, and so I thought I'd share a few things that have worked for me.

Focus Best Practices

There is no one way to find focus, but what works for me is to clear everything away and create a little space of tranquil focus. Some tips for doing that:

• Close the browser and your email program. If you need to work in the browser then make sure no tabs or windows are open other than the one you absolutely need.
• Turn off all notifications. Trying to focus while something is notifying you of an incoming email or tweet or Facebook update is impossible.
• Turn off the Internet. Shut off your connection, unplug your router, or best yet, go to a place where the is no Internet (yes, those still exist). This is the absolute best way to find focus.
• Close all programs and windows other than what you need for this one task.
• Have a very important task to do. Not just "check email" but "write chapter in my novel" or "write that kick-ass blog post I've been planning" or "write that new Android app".
• Clear your desk. No need to spend all day on this — shove everything in a drawer or put it in a box to be sorted later. Don't fiddle with this now. In fact, don't fiddle with anything — don't worry about the perfect setup or perfect notebook for writing or the perfect anything.
• Plug in the headphones. If you have people around who might distract you, wearing headphones and playing some good, peaceful music is perfect.
• Use a simple program. For writing, I like plain text editors (TextEdit, TextWrangler) or writing programs that block everything out (OmmWriter, WriteRoom). No distractions.

Once you have this environment (and you shouldn't spend more than a few minutes setting it up), get going on your task. Do nothing but that one task. Don't switch to another task. Having trouble doing that? Read on.

How to Increase Your Focus Abilities

If you can't focus on one task for very long, don't worry. That's normal. Our brains have been trained by technology and society to switch tasks often.

One way we've been trained is that switching to check email or blog updates or Facebook/Twitter is rewarding — we are rewarded with a little nugget of satisfaction in that someone has sent us a message (social validation!) or we have something new and interesting to read (shiny and bright!). Switching tasks becomes a positive feedback cycle that is hard to beat by single-tasking.

The way to beat that is to set up a positive feedback cycle for focusing. Here's how:

1. Start small. You only need to focus for one minute at first. Clear everything away, pick your one important task, and just do it for one minute without switching. This is hard to do in the beginning but if you consciously focus on focusing, you can do it. It's just a minute.
2. Reward yourself. The reward for focusing for one minute can be one minute (or 30 seconds) of checking whatever you want. Email, Facebook, whatever. Or get up and take a one-minute walk. Stretch, drink some water, massage your neck, enjoy your small victory. Empires are created with small victories.
3. Repeat. Keep doing one minute focus, one minute reward (or 1 minute to 30 seconds if you like) for about half an hour (15 of each). You're done. Repeat that later in the day. Rejoice in how much work you got done! And notice how you've set up a positive feedback cycle for focusing.
4. Increase in small steps. Tomorrow, make it two minutes on, one minute off. Repeat that for 30 minutes, do it later in the day too. Feel free to go wild and do three focus sessions in a day if you like, but it's not necessary.
5. Keep taking baby steps. I think you can see the pattern by now. Make it three minutes on, one minute off on the third day, then 4:1, then 5:1. When you get to 10 minutes, be crazy and take a 2 minute break. When you get to 20 minutes, take a 3 minute break. At 30 minutes of focus, you've earned a 5 minute break. And once you're at 30 minutes, you can stay there. No need to become a monk.

Set up a positive feedback cycle for single-tasking focus and you'll reverse the years of training your mind has gotten to switch tasks. You'll get more important work done, and it won't seem hard. You'll find that focus becomes a form of meditation. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing, and you can thank me by sending me a craft beer from your hometown.

忙人時間最多

在 座的居士們，多半是非常忙碌的人，都還能夠安排時間來聽佛法、學打坐、念佛、拜懺、參加法鼓山的護法工作，可見忙人時間最多。我認識一位家庭主婦，很少來 共修，我問她原因，她表示每天都忙得很辛苦。問她忙些什麼？原來她要照顧她的先生，每天忙個早晚兩餐、做做家事，就覺得忙得不得了，可見閒人時間最少。

其實，我們日常生活所需花費的時間並不多，做任何一件事都可以節省時間，不要拖泥帶水地浪費時間。有人漱口要花二十分鐘，一天漱上五次，就要耗掉一百分鐘，這是很不經濟的做事方法。
我有一位出家的朋友，他每天早上都要洗頭，他真是本事大，一次次地洗，洗到盆裡沒有一點頭皮屑才算洗淨，每天至少花掉半個小時。
我問他：「你有這麼多時間洗頭嗎？」
他說：「不！我在修行，我心平氣和地把我的頭洗到乾淨為止，我的心也洗得乾乾淨淨。」
我很佩服他，但是我沒有這麼多時間可以洗頭，所以我每次只要一、兩分鐘；諸位在處理自己的日常生活時，也要學著安排順序，精簡時間，就能夠很快地把許多事情處理完畢。時間太多的人常常是不知不覺地就把時間耗磨了。
一些身居高位，或者經營大事業的人，每天要處理許多事，他們怎麼應付呢？我曾問過一位大人物，他是怎麼應付那麼多公 事的？他說：「君逸臣勞，做主管的不需要忙，不必動筆，只要動嘴。我的頭腦始終保持冷靜，一遇到事情，我就告訴屬下們處理的原則，不需要我自己動手。而且 我一通電話可以處理很多事、解決很多問題。但是有的人不會處理事情，本來一通電話就可以解決的事，他卻要打上二十通電話，講了又講，事情卻未必得到解 決。」所以他說：「我做這個官，事情雖然很多，但是並不太忙。」
我問：「你有時間打坐嗎？」
他說：「有啊！我每天早晚都打坐。」
我認識一些工作非常忙碌的人，他們都有時間打坐。他們那麼忙，哪有時間呢？有！特別忙的人一定有時間；不忙的人反而沒有時間，為什麼？因為寶貴生命、珍惜時間，就會善用時間；不知生命可貴、不懂時間無價，就不會爭取時間。
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
在處理自己的日常生活時，
也要學著安排順序，
精簡時間，就能夠很快地把許多事情處理完畢。
時間太多的人常常是不知不覺地就把時間耗磨了。

抉择

人生真的有太多太多的抉择
很多时候
真的真的会很无助
打比说
快考试了，但是还没来得及温习
家里有拜拜
老妈得准备的死去活来
你该怎样做？

每天都是在跟时间赛跑
这个竞赛不是龟兔赛跑那么简单
兔子输一次，还有第二次的机会
但是，与时间之争
就像生死之争
不简单
你得很有意志力，很纪律
才可以稍微靠近他
一个怠慢
才轻视他一秒钟
他会让你跑输一个钟
十个钟

谁不懂这个道理
但是
还有一个
更强的魔鬼
它的操纵下
你会放纵自己

所以阿
前面的路还远
不要在懊悔昨天，过去
看着前头走吧

为自己的人生做最正确的抉择
