2011年就来结束了
原本以为今年的new year eve会不一样点点
结果总是让人出乎意料
今年的夜生活比往年多了很多
也让我觉得很累
虽然是可以麻醉自己
但它真的是短暂的可以
而且有时
起床的时候变的更懊恼
是时候减少这些活动了
或许我应该说自己也不年轻了
呵呵
2011年的最后一天
躲在自己的房间上网和星巴克也挺不错的说
还有20分钟就十二点了
我还真的有点眼睡
新年快乐咯！
[网络文章] 愛情裡，最奢華的際遇
有一次，在高鐵大廳等車。
旁邊一對年輕男女的互動方式，讓原本在把玩手機的我，忍不住偷偷注意起他們。
戴著口罩的女孩邊咳邊找，在包包裡翻出一小袋白色藥包。
感冒了吧。
「唉，沒水了……」女孩晃了晃手中空空如也的保溫瓶，聲音有氣無力地。
「等一下，我去便利商店幫妳要溫水。」濃眉大眼的男孩立刻接過保溫瓶，起身前往大廳另一側的7-11。
彷彿只要晚了幾秒，女孩的感冒就會馬上加劇似地。
男孩疾走而去的背影，頗有一種「分秒必爭，使命必達」的急切感。
效率極好。
沒幾分鐘，他就帶著水回來了。
女孩啜了一點水，燙著了，肩膀一跳。
「太燙了是不是？」男孩趕忙問。
「恩。」
怎麼辦？
吹吹就行了，一般都是這樣處理的。
「等等，我去買礦泉水。」結果男生又自動自發，馬上彈跳起來。
買回了水，調好溫度，送到女孩面前，看她吃下藥。
這段竭盡心意的「取水記」，這才劃下完美句點。
在愛情裡，最奢侈的際遇，莫過於，遇上奉獻型的情人。
當然，我說的，不是熱戀時的百般討好。
那不是常態。
一旦過了熱戀期，激情退駕，誰都難免會回到原本的待人尺度，此乃人之天性。
我說的，是一種恆長的細膩對待。
一種近乎本能的，給予天賦。
一旦愛上了，就給出最多的呵護。
你還沒說冷，他已經注意到你唇齒間的哆嗦。
你還沒說餓，他已經為你泡好了熱牛奶。
你還沒說重，他已經主動接過你手上的行李。
無關公主病、王子病、大頭病症。
有些人，他給的好，不是你吵來鬧來凹來的。
那人的善待，和愛情，一起送到你手上。
而且，遠比你預期的還更豐沛，暖和。
「女人，比較會為愛情奉獻。」有人這麼說。
或許吧。
因著母性，有不少女人，把情人伴侶，當成孩子來疼。
然而，奉獻型情人的「生成原因」，和性別無關，和天性有關。
「你對我這麼好，」有個朋友，很認真的問過她老公，「究竟是因為我，還是因為你天生就善於付出？」
她老公想了想，說：「都有。」
都有。
奉獻型的情人，不是訓練出來的。
你若能遇上一個，那不僅是識人的眼力，也是今生的好運氣。

[网络文章] 讓自己有好心情
1.一些不錯的話
如果今天的你不能比昨天的你更喜歡自己， 那麼明天對你來說，又有什麼意義？
2.多心
有時候，你難免多心。心眼一多，對許多小事就跟著過敏。 於是，別人多看你一眼，你便覺得他對你有敵意；別人少看你一眼，你又認定是他故意 對你冷落。 多心的人註定活得辛苦，因為情緒太容易被別人的情緒所左右。多心的人總東想西想胡思亂想，結果是困在一團思緒的亂麻中，動彈不得。有時候，與其多心，不如少根筋。
3.你是一塊磁鐵
相不相信？其實你是一塊磁鐵。 當你身心愉稅、喜歡自己、對這個世界充滿善意，美好的東西就自然地被你所吸引。 相反的，當你悲觀、鬱悶、覺得什麼都不對勁，負面的一切也就相繼來報到了。 因為你是一塊磁鐵，吸引的是與你相關的東西，所以快樂的你就吸引讓你快樂的? H事 境，煩憂的你則吸引讓你煩憂的人事境。
幸運與厄運，在於你如何使用內在的磁力。這是信念的奧秘。
4.你今天心情好嗎？
你不說話，但眼底的神色已回答了一切。 那麼，就別讓自己繼續躲在心事重重的甲殼裡吧。「煩腦」這種煩人的東西是想出來的 啊，若是不想就不存在，
你沒聽過這句話嗎？去喝一杯咖啡，買一件衣服，剪一種新髮型。去吃一筒冰淇淋，走一條街，看一場電影。去看一個老朋友，聊一回往事，數一晚星星。
讓自已好過的方法很多，而且善待自己是道德的。除非，你堅持躲在潮濕的甲殼裡更快樂。
5.別太在意
他的吃相讓你討厭，但或許你說話的樣子也令他不悅。你不喜歡他穿衣的風格，說不定他也受不了你的髮型。
他有他的缺點，你也有你的盲點。這世界上本來就不存在完美的人。沒有人可! 以百分之百地配合別人，也沒有人需要壓抑自己，只為了討人歡心。
已經不是小學生了，你又何必搶著當風紀股長去注意別人是否肅靜？與其把時間浪費在不相干的人身上，不如用這寶貴的光陰來做對自己更有益處的事情。
6.心亂
心亂的時候，你像一把音沒調準的吉他，撥出來的都是剌耳的不穩定和弦。
也許你正為了什麼暫時無法解決的事情發愁，或是為了還沒發生而可能發生的災難擔心，你不喜歡這心亂的感覺，卻又無法禁止漫天漫地的胡思亂想。於是你的心更亂，因為你深深地感到對自己的無能為力。我知道你的心正亂，但也請你相信，事情永遠不會像你所預想的那麼糟糕。許多時候，你太習慣自己嚇自己，? 嚓Y來只是徒然浪費了時間與力氣。心亂的時候，找一件能讓自己專心投入的事情來做吧！掃掃地，抹抹窗子，或是把堆在水槽裡的碗洗乾淨；當你整理了外在的秩序時，其實也就理清了內心的亂麻。
7.喜歡自己
你常常因為光陰易逝而恐慌，也常常因為荒廢歲月而不安；面對旁人的要求和自己的期望，你往往不知如何選擇，夾纏在公眾事物與私人情感之間，你`覺得一事無成。於是，置身於紛亂的生活裡，你的心就陷溺如流沙了。快樂的秘訣之一，就是在有限的時間裡，選擇先做你喜歡的事情。只有在一樣樣地完成它們之後，你才會一日比一日更喜歡自己。親愛的，如果今天的你不能比昨天的你更喜歡自己，那麼明天對你來說，又有什麼意義？
8.別做井底蛙
像一隻井底的青蛙，你抬頭看見的只是一小片天空。當這片天空出了太陽，你就以為全世界都發亮；當它下了雨，你又以為全世界都沒有光芒。井口的周圍就是你的世界的邊界，井口大的天空宰制了你的全部的心思。你沒有想到真正的世界其實是沒有邊界的，也不會知道在那個小天空之外還有個大天空。當你陷入某種人生僵局的時候，你就是這隻青蛙，侷限在潮濕的井底，看見的只是自己的痛苦。所以，你只能用力往上跳，跳出這口井，跳出僵局。然後，你會發現以前的世界何其小，未來的天地何其大。
9.秋雨
秋雨從高高的雲端落下，洗盡堆積了一夏的塵埃。如果潮濕的天氣讓你有了欲淚的情緒，那就痛痛快快地大哭一場吧。哭泣其實不必有正當的藉口，一如大笑無需任何緣由。人們總是讚美笑，卻不鼓勵哭，但一個不會哭的人就像從來不下雨的天空，只任乾燥的情緒壓抑堆積，不見淋漓活潑的水意。想笑就開心地笑，想哭就放心去哭，能笑也能哭，是對自己的慈悲。哭過的你將感到無限輕鬆，一如雨後的天空無限明淨。
10.跟著因緣走
小時候，你曾經對別的小孩炫耀：看！我有你沒有。你有的可能是一只風車、一個洋娃娃或一支彩色筆。長大後，你卻開始羨慕你的朋友：唉！他有我沒有。別人有的可能是一分理想的工作、一樁受寵的感情或一種優渥的生活。
孩子氣的炫耀是天真，成人式的羨慕卻不免幼稚了。親愛的，其實你也有很多寶貴的東西是別人沒有的呀！例如說，你可能有堅固的牙齒，當別人只能吃西瓜時，你卻能啃甘蔗；你可能有修長的手指，當別人只能吹口琴時，你卻能彈鋼琴。也許當你羨慕著別人時，別人也在羨慕著你呢。每個人都是這世界上獨一無二的存在，沒有誰比誰更幸運，也沒有誰比誰更尊貴。人生在世，不過是跟著因緣走，而因緣向來是生滅無常的。所以，擁有無須歡喜，因為擁有就代表了有失去的可能；沒有也不必難過，因為沒有才有機會去獲得。在得失之間，無所謂好與壞。一切不過是跟著因緣走。保持一顆心的自由自在，輕輕鬆鬆跟著因緣走吧。當你能夠把世事無常看透，也就是你真正長大的時候。
11.想想
想想，有什麼事，真的是你非完成不可的？有什麼目的，真的是你非達到不可的？有什麼人，真的是你非留戀不可的？你的心裡總是堆滿了理不清的願望，但是那些人那些事，對你來說真的那麼重要嗎？也許只是一時的迷障，也許只是因為不甘心。有些人有些事，於你的生命其實無益。就像電腦檔案有一定的容量，生命也有使用期限，你只能在有限的時間裡做有限的事， 到有限的地方，認識有限的人。所以，認真去做真正想做的事，也認真對待你真正喜愛的人，除此之外，就別再給自己多餘的負擔吧！

30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself
When you stop chasing the wrong things you give
the right things a chance to catch you.
As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Nothing could be closer to the truth. But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
1. Stop spending time with the wrong people. – Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.
2. Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on. No, it won’t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.
3. Stop lying to yourself. – You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can’t lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves. Read The Road Less Traveled.
4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner. – The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.
5. Stop trying to be someone you’re not. – One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.
6. Stop trying to hold onto the past. – You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.
7. Stop being scared to make a mistake. – Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.
8. Stop berating yourself for old mistakes. – We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.
9. Stop trying to buy happiness. – Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions.
10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness. – If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else. Read Stumbling on Happiness.
11. Stop being idle. – Don’t think too much or you’ll create a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.
12. Stop thinking you’re not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel totally comfortable at first.
13. Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons. – Relationships must be chosen wisely. It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company. There’s no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason. Fall in love when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.
14. Stop rejecting new relationships just because old ones didn’t work. – In life you’ll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.
15. Stop trying to compete against everyone else. – Don’t worry about what others doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.
16. Stop being jealous of others. – Jealousy is the art of counting someone else’s blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: “What’s something I have that everyone wants?”
17. Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself. – Life’s curveballs are thrown for a reason – to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you. You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough. But reflect back on those negative curveballs thrown at you in the past. You’ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. So smile! Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.
18. Stop holding grudges. – Don’t live your life with hate in your heart. You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you hate. Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is okay.” It is saying, “I’m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever.” Forgiveness is the answer… let go, find peace, liberate yourself! And remember, forgiveness is not just for other people, it’s for you too. If you must, forgive yourself, move on and try to do better next time.
19. Stop letting others bring you down to their level. – Refuse to lower your standards to accommodate those who refuse to raise theirs.
20. Stop wasting time explaining yourself to others. – Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it anyway. Just do what you know in your heart is right.
21. Stop doing the same things over and over without taking a break. – The time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.
22. Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments. – Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.
23. Stop trying to make things perfect. – The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists, it rewards people who get things done. Read Getting Things Done.
24. Stop following the path of least resistance. – Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.
25. Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t. – It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
26. Stop blaming others for your troubles. – The extent to which you can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life. When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.
27. Stop trying to be everything to everyone. – Doing so is impossible, and trying will only burn you out. But making one person smile CAN change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. So narrow your focus.
28. Stop worrying so much. – Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy. One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years?” If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.
29. Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen. – Focus on what you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.
30. Stop being ungrateful. – No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing.

But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.
9. Stop trying to buy happiness. – Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions.
10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness. – If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else. Read Stumbling on Happiness.
11. Stop being idle. – Don’t think too much or you’ll create a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.
12. Stop thinking you’re not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel totally comfortable at first.
13. Stop getting involved in relationships for the wrong reasons. – Relationships must be chosen wisely. It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company. There’s no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason. Fall in love when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.
14. Stop rejecting new relationships just because old ones didn’t work. – In life you’ll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.
15. Stop trying to compete against everyone else. – Don’t worry about what others doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.
16. Stop being jealous of others. – Jealousy is the art of counting someone else’s blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: “What’s something I have that everyone wants?”
17. Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourself. – Life’s curveballs are thrown for a reason – to shift your path in a direction that is meant for you. You may not see or understand everything the moment it happens, and it may be tough. But reflect back on those negative curveballs thrown at you in the past. You’ll often see that eventually they led you to a better place, person, state of mind, or situation. So smile! Let everyone know that today you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday, and you will be.
18. Stop holding grudges. – Don’t live your life with hate in your heart. You will end up hurting yourself more than the people you hate. Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is okay.” It is saying, “I’m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever.” Forgiveness is the answer… let go, find peace, liberate yourself! And remember, forgiveness is not just for other people, it’s for you too. If you must, forgive yourself, move on and try to do better next time.
19. Stop letting others bring you down to their level. – Refuse to lower your standards to accommodate those who refuse to raise theirs.
20. Stop wasting time explaining yourself to others. – Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it anyway. Just do what you know in your heart is right.
21. Stop doing the same things over and over without taking a break. – The time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.
22. Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments. – Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.
23. Stop trying to make things perfect. – The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists, it rewards people who get things done. Read Getting Things Done.
24. Stop following the path of least resistance. – Life is not easy, especially when you plan on achieving something worthwhile. Don’t take the easy way out. Do something extraordinary.
25. Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t. – It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
26. Stop blaming others for your troubles. – The extent to which you can achieve your dreams depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life. When you blame others for what you’re going through, you deny responsibility – you give others power over that part of your life.
27. Stop trying to be everything to everyone. – Doing so is impossible, and trying will only burn you out. But making one person smile CAN change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. So narrow your focus.
28. Stop worrying so much. – Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy. One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years?” If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.
29. Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen. – Focus on what you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.
30. Stop being ungrateful. – No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing.
