继人大东门物美超市以水果糖代替货币找给顾客以后，
人大西区的超市又发明了自己的货币。超市没零钱时，拿这个找给顾客；比水果糖货币人性化的是，顾客可以拿这个东东去他们那里买东西。OMG！
离开人大的同胞们，是不是觉得这个世界很疯狂？！
是世界变化太快，还是我们落伍了？

好好地活着
近日，目睹的不幸太多太多。
庆幸，活着真好。
生命无常。没有人知道自己能活多久。
也没有人认真考虑过自己究竟能活多久。
或许，仅仅就是想回一趟老家，跟家人团聚地过个五一，生命就消逝在路途中。
或许，几分钟前还在跟男女朋友拌拌嘴，几分钟后，两人就阴阳相隔。
或许，就在极不情愿、充满愤恨地上班途中，生命就转瞬即逝了。
或许，睡梦中，就永远离开了这个世界。。。
相撞的火车，燃火的公车，翻入峡谷的大巴。。。最近频频发生的这些事故，越来越逼近生活底线。
当同学出现在胶济铁路事故的遇难者名单中，我第一次开始真正审视我的生命，真正开始思考我的生命会有多长。。。
也突然发现，生命或许并没有我们想象的那么长，也并不像我们想象的跟可再生资源一样取之不尽、用之不竭。
所以，在我们不能预知的生命长度中，自己能做的就是把握现在。好好地、有意义地、开心地活过每一分钟，每一秒钟。
不喜欢的工作，换掉；不喜欢做的事情，不要勉强自己；也不要冠冕堂皇地说为了下一代、为了父母、还是为了国家，人一死，自己都顾不上，又怎么照顾你的下一代、你的父母，怎么效力于你的国家？
所以，你的一切梦想，都得基于你好好地、快乐地、有意义地活着。

LIVE A HAPPY LIFE
On 28th April, two trains collided in Shandong Province, one of which is T195 from Beijing to Qingdao. The dead number has been up to 71. One of my dear schoolmates was among the 71s.
I was shocked.
Once, I dreamed for a travel to Qingdao, and, if these days I was free, I might have gone to Qingdao. I dare not go on thinking.
I was also shocked by a couple. The girl was lucky to survive, and she wanted to helped her boyfriend out of the train, when she found her boyfriend had died....
Today, I have read the last blog of a girl, who has died in this accident. In her last blog, she said she was unhappy, and she really wanted to have a rest. And then... . Were there any indications? If there were another chance of living, I think she must treasure her life. And she would not be unhappy for what others were thinking about.
So, however mean your life is, just meet it ,live it and enjoy it. The life is the biggest treasure. To me, to everyone.

谁能解释这是为什么？

神奇的读心术。
最后显示的结果居然真跟心里想到的完全一样。
以前看过Discovery的节目，对类似的现象有过解释。
但是还是看不懂。。。
谁能解释这是为什么？

史上最牛的中石油段子
今天，中石油的股票终于跌破发行价。
股民肯定心如刀割。
天涯上充斥着各种声音。我看到一个最经典的段子：
昨天出去喝酒有人给我介绍了一位新朋友,说是炒中石油炒成了百万富翁。 哇靠!厉害啊!佩服佩服!我坐他边上, 悄悄地请他传授秘诀。 他一脸木然地对我说:其实也没啥秘诀。 我原来是亿万富翁。

也谈抵制
这两天，抵制法货、法商的风潮一浪高过一浪。尤其家乐福，首当其冲。 LV、雪铁龙、标志啥的，离老百姓还有点遥远，力所能及的大概就是家乐福了。
抵制不抵制呢？该不该抵制呢？最近争论真是多。 任何事情都有它的两面性。所以，就“抵制”本身来说，也有它的两面性。都哪两面，网友们已经都说得很透彻了。
缩到我这个普通的老百姓身上，又能做啥呢？ 我要反对抵制的话，会被骂作背叛祖国；我要参与抵制的话，又会被另一部分人骂作愚蠢加白痴。老百姓的日子还真是不好过。。。 不过，还好，一来，就我“翻着白眼”的钱包，也无力靠近LV、雪铁龙；二来，就我这身板，还真禁不起在家乐福到人堆里挤来挤去。 那就一如既往地过我的日子吧。
不过，抵制归抵制，好多方面我们还真该反省。尤其物美、城乡、超市发的服务，真应该借这个机会好好提高一番。不然，再好的机会也就转瞬即逝了。
PS. 说个真事儿，大家权当笑话听吧：人大东门有个物美，服务人员态度不仅极差还甚为嚣张，如果哪天有哪个消费者有问题找了过去，他们还恨不得打人。所以，在人大，同学们都闻“物美”色变。话说，这个超市的收银台，有一特殊小盒，小盒里装着特殊的水果糖。 为什么说这个水果糖特殊呢？ 因为，它除了具有“吃”的功效外，还充当着一般等价物。——物美没有零钱找同学们时，就拿糖出来充钱。貌似一块水果糖充2毛钱。于是，同学们掀起了大讨论。金融系的同学有专业背景，自然不会轻易放过这难得一见的金融现象：“既是一般等价物，既然能用来代替货币找给同学们，自然也能被同学们拿去物美买东西，下次去物美直接拿糖当钱再找给他们。”经济学院的同学更精明：“为虾米不去别的超市花2块钱买一堆糖回来，平均下来每块糖就几分钱，然后拆开了再去物美买东西呢？”。。。
终于，一日，我和蚊子走进物美。蚊子拿了一盒酸奶，貌似1.8元。我心中暗想，这下坏了，轮到她接收物美的糖了，我俩可都不爱吃糖，到时一定要想办法拒绝他们的水果糖。结果，蚊子付完账，收银员居然递给她一把塑料小勺，我当时就脱口而出：“天啊，这么一把塑料小勺就2毛钱啊。。。”
蚊子赶紧拉开我，低声对我说：“这把小勺是喝酸奶的，酸奶附带的。。。”
然后，收银员递给蚊子2毛钱，看了看我俩，一脸茫然。。。

Expectations
by Jim Rohn
If you expect nothing, you’ll get nothing
On Oct 6, 1727, 39-year-old Alexander Pope wrote in a letter to John Gay, "Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed." Expecting nothing is one way of avoiding disappointment. But what a heavy price to pay, for when we expect nothing, we get nothing. Imagine a honeybee staying away from flowers to avoid the possible disappointment of encountering nectarless blossoms. The bee’s actions would prevent it from enjoying the ambrosia of life.
Just as the world gladly provides nectar to bees, it provides the vast riches of beauty, joy, meaning, and opportunity to those who have the right attitude. Those who expect good, look for good. And those who look for good, find it. But those who expect trouble, look for it and find it. And the good or unhappiness we find will be in direct proportion to our expectation. That’s why Ben Sweetland wrote, "The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car… a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little."
So, the first lesson about expectations is to expect much and look for much. For when we do so, we shall discover our cups runneth over. Don’t expect problems, but expect solutions to every problem. Don’t expect difficulties, but expect to grow stronger with every difficulty you overcome. Don’t expect hard times, but expect every need to be met, for it is in expecting that we look, and in searching that we find.
Some people read their horoscope or consult an oracle with the hope of learning what to expect in the future. We don’t need a horoscope or oracle to know what to expect. All we need is some commonsense. If I enroll in a course, study hard, and do my assignments, I will pass the course. If I skip classes, don’t study, and don’t do my assignments, I will fail the course. Simple wasn’t it? Why would I need a horoscope or oracle to learn what to expect in the future. Each act I take, or fail to take, creates my future. What can I expect from the future? I can expect to reap the rewards for my right actions and suffer the consequences for my wrong actions!
The second lesson on expectations, then, is to remain aware of our actions. And to take actions that lead to bright expectations while avoiding actions that lead to undesirable expectations.
Will everything I work toward come about? Who knows? I can have positive expectations, but I cannot have full knowledge of what the future will bring. Why would I want to know the future? It’s supposed to be a surprise. Life is a party and the future is a present we receive. We open the present with anticipation, not knowing what we will receive. As Denis Waitley says, "Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised."
During the time you’ve been reading this article, the world has changed. Change is the stuff the world is made of. What can you expect in the future? Change! If you’re suffering now, cheer up, for life will change for the better. If you’re sitting on top of the world, get ready for a change of fortune. But don’t worry, you’ll be able to cope and learn from the experience.
How can I enjoy today’s good if I expect better tomorrow? Some people make the mistake of living in the future, looking forward to all their expectations. As they do so, they overlook the treasures of today. We only live in the present. The past is dead, the future is but a dream. So enjoy what you have today, and put off tomorrow until tomorrow.
Although I used Alexander Pope’s quotation in my opening to show that if we expect nothing, we will receive nothing, there is another interpretation. And that is, if we release our expectations for tomorrow, we focus on today. In fact, considering his keen insight, I’m sure that’s what he meant. No doubt he would have agreed with the contemporary genius Stephen Hawking, who wrote, "When one’s expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have." So it’s all a matter of balance. We want to have expectations, but we don’t want to dwell on them to the point that we ignore the present moment.
Some make the mistake about expecting a future calamity. For if it comes, they suffer twice. Once, worrying about it before it arrives, and second, they suffer after its arrival. And what if it doesn’t come? All of their worrying needlessly robbed them of their peace of mind. Besides, don’t we have enough to be concerned about for today? Why pile on top of that possible problems of tomorrow? No wonder some people cannot cope!
Expectations are the bars we reach for, the goals we chase after. They can challenge, strengthen, and lift us. By setting high expectations, parents, teachers, and supervisors can play an important part in helping those they look after rise to new levels of achievement. After all, rarely do followers exceed the expectations of their leaders. But care must be taken to inspire and encourage, while avoiding pressure. As in other cases, balance is necessary. That is, while setting expectations for them, you must also teach those you look after to ignore the expectations of others and set their own! In other words, the greatest gift you can offer them is to awaken their own expectations. Share with them the words of Tiger Woods: "One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people’s expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it." Stevie Wonder shares the same idea: "You can’t base your life on other people’s expectations."
When setting expectations for ourselves, we should make sure they’re realistic. Going to medical school or becoming a Jesuit priest (which takes 13 years) may be reasonable expectations, but if I’m already 102 years old, they’re not realistic goals. Also, persistence has to be tempered with commonsense. Every time I ask Mary for a date she says, "No, Chucky, you’re too yucky!" Don’t you think that after a certain number of rejections my expectation becomes unrealistic? When we set a goal and fail to reach it, we can try again by following another path. It doesn’t make sense to repeat the same mistake over and over again. And since the future is uncertain, who knows, my expectation may be impossible to achieve. Therefore, it may make sense to have a backup plan ready, just in case. Persistence, relentless determination, unwavering focus, and flexibility. We need them all. It’s a matter of balance and knowing when to use the proper tool.

感情合不合脚，自己最清楚
大学密友来北京出差。顺便带来她素未露面的“老公”。
见人家“老公”之前，早就听她们一帮人叽叽喳喳替密友担心。
说，年龄跨度太大，感情会有隔阂。
之前，我也有这担忧，很大担忧。
可是，见面之后。发现他们俩给我的感觉是“对”的。
具体说是什么感觉，我这个笨拙的人也表达不出来。
就是感觉他们俩在一起是很合适的，给外人的感觉是很协调的，也是，
很般配的。
看到他们俩，我根本想不到年龄上的差距。
看到的只是心灵相通。
再问同去的另一密友，她也终于承认，
人家俩在一起是比较合适的。
看来人的感情，就像鞋子一样，合不合脚，只有自己知道。
别人呢，光看到人家鞋子外表，是代替不了主人的感觉的。
以后，再不，议论别人的感情。
那群八婆，以后再议论这些事情，
千万别把我拉下水。
哈哈。

新闻传播学也可以搞定量研究嘛
周五，晃着晃着，不小心就晃到人大了。
发现学校真是变了不少。西门的那片垃圾场已经成了一栋颇具豪气的大楼，东门教一那干净的广场已经成了一堆垃圾场。
唯一不变的是——
人大食堂的饭，不过好像也变了一点，更难吃了。。。
然后又晃到学院。
彪哥他们在搞脑电波研究，喻老师正在向更尖端的学术领域迈进呢。
〔不知道算不算喻老师的学术机密。〕
彪哥和小师妹都穿着白大褂。
每位调研对象呢，都要带上一系列复杂的设备，然后才开始做试验。
试验的结果呢，貌似就能直接传输到另外一台电脑上。
这样，每位受访人员关注媒体的脑反应，就能直接输出到另一台电脑上了。
谁说新闻传播学只能搞定性研究呢？
新闻传播学也可以搞定量研究嘛！
——我第一次发现彪哥有点博士派头了。。。
