事情的真相
一個小朋友問一位富翁說：「叔叔，你為什麼這麼有錢？」
富翁摸摸小朋友的頭道：「小時候，我爸給了我一個蘋果，我賣掉它，再想方法用低價買了兩個蘋果，後來我又這樣賺了四個蘋果。」
小朋友若有所思地說：「哦…叔叔，我好像懂了。」
富翁說：「小朋友你懂個屁啊！後來我爸死了，我繼承了他全部的財產，這才是我富裕的真相。」
給創業者提個醒，不要癡迷于從閱讀成功人士的傳記中找經驗，這些書大部分都經過了精緻的包裝，很多重要的事實都不會告訴你。
例如，比爾蓋茨的書不會告訴你他母親是ＩＢＭ董事，是她給兒子促成了第一筆大生意，巴菲特的書只會告訴你；他８歲就知道去參觀紐交所，但不會告訴你；是他當國會議員的父親帶他去的，而且是高盛的董事接待的。
這才是很多事情的真相！！

富裕病毒 - Affluenza (email sharing)
富裕病毒~—這一代就已面臨的生命課題
● 其實富裕病毒包括：
◎ 沒能力煮飯：被外食餵食習慣了˙像家中豢養的動物沒有尋找新鮮乾淨食物的能力。
◎ 沒有工作價值：太有錢沒有工作的必要˙太聰明→社會付出的功能消失。
◎ 社會需求消失˙工作需求消失→飽食終日˙無所事事→這是現代社會的多數現象。
妳，還在當「孝子」「孝女」嗎？
這股「富裕病毒」正席捲全球，從美國、日本到臺灣……看完這篇覺得花點自己的辛苦錢享受人生或投資賠點錢也不一定是壞事，避免小孩得富裕病。
美國調查：繼承15萬美元以上財產的小孩，2成放棄工作，多數一事無成；他們得到越多，越不滿足，甚至失去奮鬥目標。這股「富裕病毒」正席捲全球，從美國、日本到臺灣……
「好好待妳的小孩，但不要給他們太多財產。」這是今年一月，美國《商業週刊》出版的25個最佳觀念專題(The best 25 ideas)，報導開始的第一句話。配合一張皺著眉頭、不開心的小孩照片，這句話格外引人好奇：為何要這麼慎重其事的談這事？
答案在文章中的一個單字：「富裕病」(affluenza)。先前令人聞之色變的禽流感(Avian Influenza)，讓大家看到富裕病的英文時，感覺好熟悉。沒錯，富裕病這個名詞是1990年代後期才發源於美國，由兩個單字「富裕」(affluence)和「流感」(influenza)合成，指那些由於父母供給太多，造成孩子過度沉溺物質，生活缺乏目標等後遺症。
童年富裕、長大負債
美國年輕破產族，每年增加16%。當美國嬰兒潮世代到達人生成就最高峰，即將擁著四百一十兆美元退休，甚至將財富傳承給下一代的階段，卻突然發現，他們的兒女或孫兒女，正受到富裕病毒的威脅。
根據美國消費者聯盟的一項調查，2003年有31%的大學生，有超過三千美元的信用卡債，比2000年增加了67%；二十五歲以下因為負債而破產的人數，過去十年也以每年16%的速度快速增長(二十五歲以上破產人口的增加速度只有5%)。不是因為年輕人沒錢，而是因為他們太愛亂花錢，所以如今美國許多大學將消費性負債，列入學生退學的評量因素之一。
臺灣也不遑多讓
根據金融監督管理委員會銀行局的最新統計，臺灣所有卡債中，五分之一是由二十至二十九歲的年輕人所「貢獻」。他們主要用於購買奢侈品所積欠的現金卡、信用卡卡債，共計一千四百七十八億元，相當於政府兩年的高等教育經費，或未來八年的全國治水經費。
而根據研究，美國的破產族當中，超過七成都來自於中產或者更高收入的家庭。他們的人生因為負債搞得一塌糊塗，並不是他們資源太少，反而是在他們成長過程中，資源的供給非常充裕，甚至是太充裕了。
美國興起反思浪潮，
五分之一富豪寧捐出財富不留給子女
今日的美國，百萬富翁在十年內成長了400%，對財富卻出現了反思的浪潮：2003年，哈佛大學募款人柯立爾估計，全美三百二十萬名百萬富翁中，約有六十萬人因擔心會寵壞子女而將捐出大筆財富。他說：「許多新富之家，希望子女只享有中產階級的生活形態，好讓他們擁有快樂婚姻，並且養育快樂子女。」
那麼這些新富會留多少錢給子女？柯立爾表示，資產超過三千萬美元的富豪，會留給子女每人約一百五十萬美元，這筆錢可用來買一幢房子，且受良好的教育。連續十二年蟬聯《富比世》全球富人排行榜第一名的微軟創辦人比爾．蓋茲，則早在一九九九年時宣布，他和妻子將他們兩個孩子的遺產繼承金額，限制在一億美元以內。蓋茲目前的身價有五百億美元，卻只留下五百分之一給孩子，剩餘的財富全部捐獻給慈善機構和社會福利事業。
富裕人口也快速增加的華人社會而言，如何恰當的給孩子金錢、資源？正是前所未有的挑戰。首先，中國傳統上避諱談錢；其次，我們的傳統都還是留遺產給孩子，而非將財富留給社會。奇美創辦人許文龍四月二十七日在交通大學演講時表示，他有二女一男，但三個子女現在還不知道，老爸到底會不會留財產給他們。他說：「我錢很多，留一些給子女到底要留多少？」這個問題對他而言，! 遠比經營事業還困難。
不只有錢的許文龍覺得很難，對大部分中國人的父母而言都不是簡單的事。從事跨文化，本土心理學研究的中研院院士楊國樞指出，包括臺灣、香港、中國大陸、日本、韓國等東亞儒家文化圈，是集體主義的社會，「至今我們民法的『父債子還』，還是延續這樣的『家族共產主義』精神。」
富留子孫種下惡果，
孩子變得只知享受，不知義務
今年四月十六日，臺南市爆出一家四口燒炭自殺的人倫悲劇，二十八歲的張智凱帶著妻子與五歲長女、五個月大幼女，輕易的結束四條寶貴的生命，自殺原因只因為高中音樂老師退休的媽媽不借給他三十萬元！
悲傷的母親，即便面對兒子指控「媽媽愛錢更甚我的生命」，深痛之餘，仍然替兒子說話，認為是媒體亂寫，「他其實很乖」。老鄰居看到的則是，失婚獨立扶養張智凱長大的陳玉霞，在張智凱從小到大的成長中，只要是張智凱開口要的東西，幾乎沒有說不的。
美國威斯康辛大學博士、東吳大學社會係副教授吳明燁觀察指出，在這個家「呈現的似乎是孩子只有權利，沒有義務。」這個永遠只負責享受的孩子，最後走上的是富裕病的最惡後果。
外國人稱臺灣為Boss Land，因為臺灣家族對子女高度的經濟支持，讓許多人不需要理性計算風險，就可以隨性創業。「因為得來容易，所以臺灣創業的年輕人投資報酬率常算不清楚。」南華大學社會科學院院長翟本瑞說，同樣的，在花錢時，年輕人也預期將來會從家裡繼承財產，而有恃無恐。
讓孩子走出「金鳥籠」，教導正確用錢觀念，為自己負責
中國人常說「富不過三代」，但這並非打不破的魔咒；深入了解一些能夠富過好幾代的家族，對如何與財富相處，都有非常嚴謹的教養。翟本瑞舉例，德國最老的投資銀行梅茲勒(Meztler)家族，富過三代的秘訣只有一個：不讓孩子關進「金鳥籠」；他們的小孩上地區最普通的學校，每天走路去搭公車上學，與所有同學一起玩耍、一起生活，吃同樣食物。
世界上最富有的家族——沃爾瑪集團的華頓家族，已逝的董事長山姆．華頓(Sam Walton)，奉行的財富教育核心理念是「勞動讓人有價值」。老華頓從來不給孩子們零用錢，他的四個孩子很小就開始「打工」，在商店裡擦地板，幫忙修補倉庫的房頂，晚上幫助裝卸簡單的貨物，老華頓則根據一般的工人標準付給他們「工資」。
這一代華人富裕家庭的青少年，是在「漏斗型」的資源灌注下成長──臺灣出生率是世界倒數第一，全臺平均值衹有1.2%，居民社經地位最高的臺北市，出生率更低至1.04%。因此，富裕病毒對華人的考驗，將比SARS(嚴重急性呼吸道症候群)更為嚴峻。妳的孩子，做好防疫措施了嗎？妳的財富教育啟動了嗎？

This is a good story for encouraging authenticity - An excellent story for the beginning of the Year of Rabbit. - email sharing
A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.
Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.
He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you." The young executives were Shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you.
I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one
I choose will be the next CEO."
One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed.He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.
Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still
nothing.
By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.
Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however, he just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to grow.
A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.
Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at
the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!
When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.
Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"
All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"
When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story.
The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief Executive Officer!
His name is Jim!" Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow his seed.
"How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.
Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.
All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new
Chief Executive Officer!"
* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust
* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends
* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness
* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment
* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective
* If you plant hard work, you will reap success
* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation
So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.
Think about this for a minute....
If I happened to show up on your door step crying, would you care?
If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something happened, would you come?
If I had one day left to live my life, would you be part of that last day?
If I needed a shoulder to cry on, would you give me yours?
This is a test to see who your real
friends are or if you are just someone to talk to you when they are bored
Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes?
They blink together,
they move together,
they cry together,
they see things together,
and they sleep together,
but they never see each other;
....that's what friendship is..
Your aspiration is your motivation, your
motivation is your belief,
your belief is your peace,
your peace is your target,
your target is heaven, and life is like hard core torture without it!
It's 'World Best Friends Week'
Who is your best friend?
Send this to all your good friends, even me, if I am one of them.

好文章分享~~生命的恩人與仇人 - email sharing
主旨： 好文章分享~~生命的恩人與仇人
【人生】 恩人 與 仇人
給辛苦的上班族分享 !!
很有意思的管理故事： 仇人 與 恩人
大學剛畢業的時候，某電視公司請我去主持個特別節目，
那節目的導播看我文章不錯，又要我兼編劇。
可是當節目做完，領酬勞的時候，
導播不但不給我編劇費，
還扣我一半的主持費。
他把收據交給我說：
『你簽收一千六，但我只能給你八百，因為節目透支了。』
我當時沒吭聲，照簽了，心想 【君子報仇，十年不晚。】
後來那導播又找我，我還 【照樣】幫他做了幾次。
最後一次，他沒扣我錢，變得對我很客氣，
因為那時我被電視公司的新聞部看上，
一下子成為了電視記者兼新聞主播。
我們後來常在公司遇到，他每次笑得都有點尷尬。
我曾經想去告他一狀，可是正如高中那位同學所說，
沒有他我能有今天嗎？
如果我當初不忍下一口氣，又能繼續獲得主持的機會嗎？
機會是他給的，他是我的貴人，他已經知錯，我何必去報復呢？
後來我到了美國留學。
有一天，一位已經就業的同學對我抱怨他的美國老闆 【吃】他，
不但給他很少的薪水，而且故意拖延他的綠卡 （美國居留權）申請。
我當時對他說： 『這麼壞的老闆，不做也罷。但你豈能白幹了這麼久，
總要多學一點，再跳槽，所以你要偷偷學。』
他聽了我的話，不但每天加班，留下來背那些商業文書的寫法。
甚至連怎麼修理影印機，都跟在工人旁邊記筆記，
以便有一天自己出去創業，能夠省點修理費。
隔了半年，我問他是不是打算跳槽了？
他居然一笑： 『不用！我的老闆現在對我刮目相看，又升官，又加薪，
而且綠卡也馬上下來了，老闆還問我為什麼態度一百八十度轉變，
變得那麼積極呢？』
他作了 『報復』，只是換了一種方法，
而且他自我檢討，當年其實是他自己不努力。
大概前五年吧！
我遇到個有意思的事。
一位老友突然猛學算命，由生辰八字、紫薇斗數、姓名學到占星術，
沒一樣不研究。
他學算命，當然不是覺得算命靈驗，而是想證明算命是騙人的東西。
原因是有一位非常著名的大師為他算命，算他活不到四十七，
他發誓，非打爛那大師的招牌不可。
你猜怎樣？
他愈學愈怕，因為他發現自己算自己，也確實活不長。
這時候，他改了，他跑去做慈善，說：
『反正活不久了，好好運用剩下的歲月，做點有意義的事。』
他很積極地投入，人人都說他變了，
由一個焦躁勢利的小人，變成敦厚慈愛的君子。
不知不覺，他過了四十七、過了四十八，而今已經五十三，
紅光滿面、生氣勃勃，比誰都活利健康。
「你可以去砸那大師的招牌了！」 我有一天開他玩笑。
他眼一亮，回問我： 『為什麼？』
又笑笑： 『要不是那人警告我，照我以前的個性，
確實四十七歲非犯心臟病不可，他沒有不準啊！』
各位年輕朋友！
你喜歡逞強鬥狠嗎？
你總是心有不平嗎？
你有 【此仇不報非君子】的憤恨嗎？
一點心得
你要知道， 【敵人、仇人】…
都可以 【激發】你的 【潛能】，成為你的【貴人】。
你也要知道，許多怨仇、不平，其實問題都出在你自己。
你更要知道，這世間最好的 『報復』，就是運用那股不平之氣，
使自己邁向成功，以那成功和 【成功之後的胸懷】，
對待你當年的敵人，且把敵人變成朋友。
當 『冤冤相報何時了』的 【雙贏】 ，
能成為 【相逢一笑泯恩仇】的 【雙贏】 。
不是人生最大的成功嗎？
是不是：如果你是正確的，你的世界就是正確的？

【人生】 恩人 與 仇人
給辛苦的上班族分享 !!
很有意思的管理故事： 仇人 與 恩人
大學剛畢業的時候，某電視公司請我去主持個特別節目，
那節目的導播看我文章不錯，又要我兼編劇。
可是當節目做完，領酬勞的時候，
導播不但不給我編劇費，
還扣我一半的主持費。
他把收據交給我說：
『你簽收一千六，但我只能給你八百，因為節目透支了。』
我當時沒吭聲，照簽了，心想 【君子報仇，十年不晚。】
後來那導播又找我，我還 【照樣】幫他做了幾次。
最後一次，他沒扣我錢，變得對我很客氣，
因為那時我被電視公司的新聞部看上，
一下子成為了電視記者兼新聞主播。
我們後來常在公司遇到，他每次笑得都有點尷尬。
我曾經想去告他一狀，可是正如高中那位同學所說，
沒有他我能有今天嗎？
如果我當初不忍下一口氣，又能繼續獲得主持的機會嗎？
機會是他給的，他是我的貴人，他已經知錯，我何必去報復呢？
後來我到了美國留學。
有一天，一位已經就業的同學對我抱怨他的美國老闆 【吃】他，
不但給他很少的薪水，而且故意拖延他的綠卡 （美國居留權）申請。

Husbands vs Wives ! ! - email sharing
Position of a Husband Is just like a Split AC
No matter however Loud he is in the Outdoor
He is designed to remain Silent indoor...
"Husband is one who is the head of the family,
but his wife is the neck, and whichever way she turns, he goes."
A man in Hell asked Devil:
Can I make a call to my Wife?
After making call he asked how much to pay.
Devil : Nothing, Hell to hell is Free.
Husband: Do you know the meaning of WIFE?
It means, Without Information, Fighting Everytime!
Wife: No darling, it means - With Idiot For Ever
Wife: I wish I was a newspaper,
So I'd be in your hands all day.
Husband: I too wish that you were a newspaper,
So I could have a new one every day.
Doctor: Your husband needs rest and peace. Here are some sleeping Pills.
Wife: When must I give them to him?
Doctor: They are for you
Wife: I had to marry you to find out how stupid you are..
Husband: You should have known it the minute I asked you to marry me.
Wife: What will you give me if I climb the great Mount Everest ?
Husband: A lovely Push...!
WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING.

The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you! --- email sharing
A True Story....
A woman baked chapati for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapati on the Window-sill, for whosoever would take it away. Everyday, a hunchback came and took away the chapati. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" This went on, day after day. Everyday, the hunch-back came, picked up the chapati and uttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" The woman felt irritated. "Not a word of gratitude," she said to herself...
"Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean? "One day, exasperated, she decided to do away with him. "I shall get rid of this hunchback," she said. And what did she do? She added poison to the Chapatti she prepared for him! As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. "What is this I am doing?" she said Immediately, she threw the chapati into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window- sill. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapati and muttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" The hunchback proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman.
Everyday, as the woman placed the chapati on the window-sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune. For many months, she had no news of him.. She prayed for his safe return. That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway.. He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, "Mom, it's a miracle I'm here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. I begged of him for a morsel of food, and he was kind enough to give me a whole chapati."As he gave it to me, he said, "This is what I eat everyday: today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!" " As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale.
She leaned against the door for support. She remembered the poisoned chapati that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life! It was then that she realized the significance of the words:"The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"Do good and;Don't ever stop doing good, even if it’s not appreciated at that time.
If you like this, share it with others and I bet you so many lives would be affected.

鹿湖事件 - 電郵分享
各位朋友：
您們好!
是次寄來這一封電郵，是希望你們能關注以下的事情，並予以支持。
約在今年年初，我與其他義工協助大嶼山鹿湖區一眾出家人，抵抗商業集團在該區經營骨灰龕生意。那商業集團，無所不用其極地擴展其版圖，威迫利誘收購該區寺院，以作經營骨灰龕生意，她們外表裝成寺院，實質是經營骨灰龕。這種做法不單破壞正信佛教，她更直接影響到附近仍在修行的出家人，若情況不能制止，這些出家人也要被迫離開。鹿湖這遍地方，是有百多年歷史的佛教靜修聖地。
我們曾四出奔走各政府部門投訴她們不合法的經營，可是各政府部們總是拖拖拉拉，直至本月初，地政署曾發信通知該商業集團要求她們停止銷售骨灰龕，可是她們對此不特不加理會，還變本加厲減價促銷骨灰位，務求做成「已成事實」使政府讓其合法化。
事情至此，我們只有喚起公眾的關注，希望藉着大家的力量，促使政府立即執法制止其非法的行為，詳情可參閱下列的網址：
http://petition.buddhistdoor.com
有朋友說我們螳臂擋車，但我相信集合眾人的力量是不能少看的。
希望能得到你的支持!
謝謝您!
Dear Friends,
You may have read about the news of Luk Wu last week. Though all the media stand by us, the government still does not take any action. On the other hand, Yin Hing Temple has sent the monks and nuns a solicitor letter accusing them of libel. As such the monks and nuns have to keep silence on the matter.
Please help to respond to the following article written by 王永平先生. High respond rate may help to put pressure to government. You are most welcome to spread the news to your friends.
Please find below the link to Joseph Wong's article today.
http://www.hkej.com/template/forum/php/forum_details.php?blog_posts_id=56053
但願聚合四方量，讓鹿湖保留一片淨土!
Thank you.

Let's say I break into your house - Received email sharing
Let's say I break into your house -
How much of a problem is this in Canada ?
This a kind of interesting way of looking at this problem -
A woman wrote the best 'Letter to the Editor' in ages!! She cuts to the quick and explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV. Her letter said:
Recently, large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that parliament is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that Canada might actually want to protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, make it harder (as an illegal immigrant) to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests. Let's say I break into your house. Then, when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, 'I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and done the laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).
According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your family's insurance plan, educate my kids, and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work) because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking-in part.
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my illegal right to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm hard-working and honest, um, except for well, you know. And what a deal it is for me!!
I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being an anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, and I want you to learn my language so you can communicate with me! English is too hard for me to learn. You should also allow me to vote - in my own language, since I live in your house!
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is? Only in Canada, eh?
If you agree, pass it on (in English). Share it if you see the value of it as a good smile. If not, blow it off, along with your future

Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private bank account for your own use. However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules.
The first set of rules would be:
1) Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2) You may not simply transfer money into some other account. You may only spend it.
3) Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day.
The second set of rules:
1) The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say,"It's over, the game is over!"
2) It can close the account in an instant and you will not receive a new one.
What would you personally do? You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right? Not only for yourself, but for all the people in your life, right? Maybe even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself and the people in your life, right? You would try to spend every single cent, and use it all up every day, right?
Actually, this game is a reality, but not with money!
Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just don't seem to see it.
The MAGICAL BANK is TIME!
Each morning we awaken and receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when the day is done, any remaining time is gone and NOT credited to us. What we haven't lived up to that day is lost forever. Yesterday is forever gone.
Each morning the account is refilled, but the magical bank can dissolve our account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds? Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than we think. Take good care of yourself, and enjoy life. Live each day to the fullest, be kind to one another, and be forgiving. Harbor a positive attitude and always be the first to smile.
Here's wishing you a wonderful, beautiful day, each and every day!!!

希望我能帶給別人太陽 - 轉載自電郵
讓別人快樂是一種慈悲；
讓自己快樂是一種智慧!!
連續三個多月，丹尼餐廳的營收根本無法與成本打平。
經濟不景氣前這間小餐館也曾有過門外大排長龍的日子。
今晚，丹尼算了算帳款，他決定餐廳就開到今天吧!他已無力再承擔虧損了。
應該是晚餐的尖峰時間，店裡卻只坐著一對父子，兩人共點了一份套餐。
孩子吵鬧著，父親先是不予理會，接著不耐煩的要孩子安靜。
此時有個戴著帽子、臉色陰沉的男子走進店裡，丹尼上前招呼，一邊心想：或許這就是餐廳最後一個客人了，不如多招待他一些吧！能做的雖然不多，但小小的驚喜或許能帶給他人一點快樂。
幸運餐桌 免費招待
男子點完餐後，丹尼等著對他說：
恭喜你！你所坐的位置正是本日的幸運餐桌！
不僅所有餐點免費，還可獲得額外的招待！
男子驚訝的看著丹尼：沒想到我竟然這麼幸運！
丹尼笑著為男子送上招待的甜點，男子也露出笑容。
隔壁桌的孩子看到了吵著說：爸爸，我也要吃甜點。
父親卻說：沒錢啦！吵什麼吵！
看到了這一幕，男子對丹尼說：那麼，我也將我的好運分一點給其他人吧！
於是他請丹尼將甜點送到父子桌上。
孩子看到甜點，開心的又叫又跳；父親也露出了笑容，走到男子的桌旁向他道謝。
兩人坐下來一聊，才知道男子是間小公司的老闆，名叫庫爾。
庫爾問那位父親是做什麼？只見他沮喪的回答：我原是產銷經理。
但因公司營運狀況不佳，已通知我做到月底。
聽見這樣的回答，庫爾想了一想說：
嗯...，我的公司正在找尋業務方面的人才，不知你有興趣試試嗎？
這位父親露出驚訝的表情：這...，當然好啊！
兩人便約定了明日到公司面談的時間。
這天過後丹尼決定再堅持一陣子，
並每天都選出一張幸運餐桌，招待坐在那張桌子上的客人。
消息傳開後，許多人都好奇的要來碰碰運氣，
而丹尼餐廳的人氣因此越來越旺。
幾年過去後，庫爾已是丹尼餐廳的老顧客和好友。
有天庫爾突然問起丹尼：
你知道當我第一次走進餐館的時候心裡在想什麼嗎？
丹尼搖搖頭。
庫爾淡淡說：其實那天晚上，我走進餐館是打算飽餐一頓後，想辦法結束生命。
那天我妻子給了我封信，信中說她再也無法忍受我工作忙碌，時常忽略她。
所以決定與另一個男人遠走高飛！
那晚我感到自己一無是處。我那麼愛她，她卻感受不到。
我對這世界真是灰心到了極點。
庫爾抬起頭來對丹尼微笑了一下：但也就在那晚，我坐到了幸運餐桌！
一開始我內心深覺諷刺，但我並沒想太多就將幸運分給其他人，
並看到他人開心的回應時，我突然深深覺得自己還是有用的。
於是，我開始重建了自己的人生！
丹尼看著庫爾眼眶盈滿了淚水。
他深深了解到，真正的幸運其實是來自於不顧自己缺乏的無私給予，
而自己也正是那眾多幸運者之一。
讓別人快樂是一種慈悲；讓自己快樂是一種智慧。
每天我開著生命的窗迎進滿室的陽光，希望我能帶給別人太陽！
讓自己快樂是一種智慧!!
