享受人生-快樂的生活與投資 Enjoy life with financial freedom

這幾天跟 Selena 他們家出去的火車之旅頗有意思, 其中最有趣的包括了和陽陽玩牌. 每次如果鬼牌在陽陽手上, 好笑的場面就會出現.
1. Alice 從陽陽手上一定抽不到鬼牌, 因為陽陽的表情會說話, 如果Alice 摸到鬼牌, 陽陽的表情會偷笑, 然後Alice 就會改抽其他張.
2. 陽陽會故意把鬼排放高高的, 被Alice發現
3. Steve會輕輕抽陽陽手上的牌, 如果那張牌不是鬼牌陽陽會抓得很緊

這個假期, 因為來不及安排, 所以和朋友決定去杭州看印象西湖.
因為印象西湖是在晚上八點才開演, 對陽陽來說其實有點晚. 當戲開演後沒多久,  陽陽看著數百人在那展現"金魚" 游動的感覺.  持續了一段時間.  陽陽似乎覺得同一個造型演太久了.   回頭問爸爸
陽陽: 金魚還要游多久阿?
爸爸: 我不知道耶!

我們盡量避免讓陽陽看打鬥的電視, 所以陽陽從沒看過Ultraman, Power Ranger之類的卡通, 但是因為學校同學的關係, 陽陽知道Ultraman, Power Ranger, 但是每次轉到 Cartoon Network 如果看到是Ultraman 或 Power Ranger 媽咪就會叫陽陽關掉電視.
前幾天, 我們和朋友出去, Selena (朋友的女兒) 和陽陽不知道為什麼講到 Power Ranger, Selena 說沒聽過 Power Ranger, Erica 跟她解釋說就像 Ultraman 一樣的 super hero. Selena 了解了, 但問 Erica, Power Ranger 的敵人是誰, Erica 不知道, 接著問陽陽: Power Ranger 的敵人是誰? 陽陽沒回答, Erica 又問了一次. 陽陽很不耐煩而且很生氣地跟 Erica 說: 你又不給我看 Power Ranger, 我怎麼會知道!
 

The article comes from http://www.vitas.com/bereavement/providers1.asp
J. William Worden, Ph.D., a well known grief therapist, strongly believes that a person must mourn the death of someone who has been significant in his or her life. From interviews with the bereaved, Dr. Worden developed his Four Tasks of Mourning. He believes that if mourning is not complete, growth and development cannot take place and lifetime complications could develop. The following tasks take effort, “grief work,” on the part of the bereaved. The tasks do not necessarily occur in this exact order. Worden saw that the bereaved may go back and forth between two or three of the tasks while doing the grief work.
To Accept the Reality of the Loss

Recently, John ask questions regarding to death from time to time. I recalled that last semester
son kids were dead when they played water motorcycles during outing. The concepts can be applied.
Step 1: 幫助孩子面對死亡

During the dinner time, John suddenly asked me a question regarding death.
John: Dad, why Ben said if human become grand-grand fathers they will die.
I was surprised to hear this question.
Dad: It is similar to wearing clothes and playing toys. If you use them for a long time, it will become old.
I knew it might not be a good answer but that was the answer I had in my mind then.
After a few minutes, John came back to me and said
John: I don't want people to die. If you and mom die, will you still live with me? Can you still see me?
He started to cry after the question.
I hugged and comforted him for a while until he stopped crying.
Dad: You not yet become a father. It s still long way for me to become grandfather.
John: can you see me when you are die? Can you talk with me? .............
John still keep asking though I am not well prepared for answering. An idea come into my mind.
Dad: Do you remember " Lion King" movie you saw before. After Simba's dad die, his dad will watch him in the heaven. Simba can talk t0 his dad. ...........
It temporarily stopped John for further questions.

離開電視新聞                                                                          by 林挺生
在台灣, 一下班的習慣就是看電視新聞, 當作休息.  另一方面也想知道今天發生了什麼大事.  不知道電視新聞深深的影響到自己的情緒.
來到這裡, 因為無法收看台灣的電視新聞.  國際台除了CNN etc,  只有香港台和電影台.  因不習慣香港台的節目, 後來不是不看就是看電影台.  
平時, 與人互動時. 常聽到在此的台灣人或當地人說台灣社會很亂.  但對我來說, 卻無明顯感覺.

離開股票市場 by:
1. spend most time on 建立投資哲學, 尋找投資標地, & 設定投資標準
2. 耐心等待符合投資標準的時機, 不預測股價漲跌.
3. 運用技術分析 only when reaching 設定的投資標準.
4. 發覺標地符合投資標準的, 快速大量買進

This afternoon, I planned go to post office to mail out a birthday card. John saw me wearing a helmet and asked me if I am going out by motocycle. He wanted to go out with me if I am going to ride a motocyle. So, we went out...
When we pass through the entrance of a viaduct, he asked me if I could ride him to a "highway". I told him motocycle is not allowed to get on highway. He pointed the direction of that viaduct and said "but mom, there are motocycle in the highway, why they can go there?"
I realized he thought the vaiduct is highway. So, I clarified and told him that we could go there before we went home.
However, I forgot the promise after we came out from the building. He reminded me right after he got on the motocycle. I did not know why he wanted to go up to a vaiduct. What fun would it be?
