Bill Gates' words

Life is not fair, get used to it.

The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.

You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.

If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about our mistakes, learn from them.


Bill Gates will get retired at this Friday at the age of 53.
He used to be a Idol and a hero of mine in my childhood, till I found that I'm on the way more and more distant from being like him.

Another colleague will leave

There's another guy will leave us,who joined our corporation as the same time as me. I don't know the exact reason why he leave, but, he is leaving.

After more and more colleagues' resign, his action stimulate me again. Where is the way I supposed to go? What can I do when I got tired with the job? The opportunities are prepared for one who is prepared, am I prepared for the future? If not, what should I do then? Am I brave enough to get off the job and to chase for new one?

Do some thing, to change the life, to change myself.

新华网 网络暴力与“人肉”搜索

重庆某学院大三学生“Die豹”,因在网上发表“第一次在重庆本地感受到地震,很舒坦,我还在想为什么不来得更猛烈一点”等言论,网民纷纷指责她“没人性”,并人肉搜索公布其个人资料,致使她不得不选择休学一年。(6月18日《中国青年报》)

  “Die豹”的言行是荒谬的,体现出生命意识和人性悲悯观的缺失,应当批评,这一点毫无疑问。但从潮水般的网络指责、“人肉搜索”延伸到现实的人身攻击,乃至她不得不选择休学一年来逃避巨大的舆论压力——如此基于正义的道德声讨,其实早已在无形中背离了正义的轨道,异化为赤裸裸的网络暴力。

  “踩猫事件”、“铜须门事件”、“死亡博客事件”,加上这次的“Die豹事件”,近几年,网络上盛行的“人肉搜索”将互联网搅动得烟雾弥漫,几乎每一起有影响的互联网事件都与之有关。在这里,我不愿讨论人肉搜索的“是是非非”,我所关注的,是激情澎湃的虚拟道德潮水与现实正义坚守的巨大反差。网络上的道德激情往往是登高一呼、应者甚众,一个人的不道德言行会在最短的时间内调动起千万人的声讨“热情”,甚至演化为现实的行动,这似乎说明社会道德的力量很强大;但是现实生活中,当遭遇到非正义行为,正义却又成为稀缺的物质,冷漠看客比比皆是。那位揭露小偷公交车上行窃而遭报复的小学生,面对的就是车上成年人的集体沉默。

  这个问题看上去令人迷惑,其实不难理解。道德并不完全是虚幻的东西,它附着于人的社会生活中。一个人或者一个社会的道德水准如何,都体现在言行举止之中。网络虽然是虚拟空间,但其实是现实世界的一个翻版。既然现实的道德有下滑态势,那网络道德也不能例外。所以,现实道德与网络道德之所以存在严重反差,并不是说社会道德有两面性,而是证明了所谓的网络正义具有太多的“道德泡沫”。

  网络批评与网络暴力是两码事,不可以混淆而论。前者是还原社会真实、维护道德、实现监督的有效形式,而后者则是前者被严重异化的表现方式——无限上纲上线,无节制的人身攻击,毫无理性尺度,法律被弃之不顾,言辞则趋向色情和暴力。这种打着维护道德旗号的“道德泡沫”,实则是一种被娱乐化了的网络正义。在盲动和跟风的口水中,在歇斯底里的所谓“追杀”中,维护道德只是幌子,借机发泄参与者的阴暗情绪和不良欲望才是本质。这是一种带有欺骗性的伪道德,它的危害甚至不亚于不道德,对此我们必须保持足够的警醒。(作者:陈一舟)

无题

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.

And remember, time waits for no one.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present.

不知道这首诗的出处,似乎有很多种版本,但大意总围绕珍惜眼前展开。

又有同事要离开了。每一次身边人的离开总会拨动自己心里那一丝的躁动。本来,来到这里并留下来也是一个意外,一个另人遗憾的意外。可世上终究没有后悔药可吃,更没有神奇的时光机器,我所能做的,也不过是珍惜现在,试图在迷迷茫茫中找到未来的路。

昨天和肖谈论起这个话题,我像一个怨妇继续抱怨着无趣而看不到前途的工作。而肖则一如既往地谴责山大毁了我们的青春,尽管我并不认同他的观点。两人一通抱怨和谴责之后,又继续如鸟兽散般各自杀时间去了。毕竟抱怨和谴责并不能改变现状,它们没法给我们带来希望,只留下怅然和失意的挫败感觉。我们,还是应该向前看的。明天是神秘的,而今天,是上帝的礼物。
