Now, it’s the time we are all waiting for; without further adieu, could you share with us your enlightenment ? I assume that you guys indeed lose some sleep on that and did not cheat your answer in any fashion and shape. :)
As you know a promise is a promise, I’ll give mine in detail as well.
For those new friends who think they have their answer long time ago, you are more than welcome to contribute, too. :))
Please permit me to clarify the requirements
a bit in case there is some confusion to submit your answer:
1. The question that you are
being asked is an open-ended one, you can give a one word version of answer or
lengthy one, it’s up to you. Personally, I prefer you would share your rationales behind
your answer with us.
2. There is no correct or wrong
answer. In other words, this is not a beauty or “pissing”(excuse my French :)) contest, every participant’s answer is a great one.
In addition, your answer can be tangible or intangible.
3. If it is possible, please
give some detailed descriptions about how and why you have derived your answer that way.
4. The identical answer is
perfectly fine. I assume you have heard of the idiom “Great minds think alike.”
However, if your supporting reasons/arguments and wordings are identical with
someone else, then that might be an issue. :(
5. The deadline for submitting
is by the midnight of the fifteenth day of CNY month.
6. If you think that your answers
could be better understood if it’d be accompanied with a photo or a song
or both, please do that by all means.
7. All answers are considered
with equal weight, period.
8. I know you guys are “the greedy
bunch”, sorry guys, one person one answer, and no one is above the law.:)
9. When deadline passed, all
the entries received will be put together as a special edition of peice to
commemorate our life 2011-2012 – a time capsule if you will.
10.You may submit your answer
with your thoughts as comments in my blog or send your entry to my qqh. BTW, procrastination
is not recommended and comparing thoughts with your fellow friends are highly
discouraged. :)
Note: Photo comes from net.
Thank you for taking quite a long time to turn in your deliberation. Hopefully the jury would clear you of all guilty charges. :))
My answer is very simple and has only one word.
Love
In the meantime, please forgive me for not express my personal thoughts on your responses as I strongly believe that I should maintain a fair and impartial stance without misleading anyone in any way.
Once again, you'd like you to know that each and every contribution (short or long ) from you and others are highly valued and equally appreciated.
在此僅借縱然君的博客之地，謝謝小虎哥，飄塵詩人，五速兄，和清風君！～～
受縱然君之托，我想看看我的朋友們對他提出的＂what is the most invaluable thing in your life？＂這個人生問題有什麽見解和看法。我想，因為他這裏好象沒有voices from the other half of the Universe，所以我就試著看看能不能請你們幾位（還有幾位沒冒泡的，已交了或正在做＂家庭作業＂的藍筒子～～）說一說你們的看法。。。非常感謝你們花時間參加這個討論。。。
我非常喜歡你們每個人的說法，小虎哥對人最基本的滿足欲的概況描述；飄塵詩人對弘揚美好的追求；五速兄對成功和做人原則準繩的理性分析；清風君對人性身心健康的深刻解譯。。。都非常精辟非常精彩。。。
再一次，謝謝你們！～～
Thank you for taking time to think through your choice and give your backing as well.
Yes, you did not cheat at all. in fact, you are very honest and diligent.
Only one answer,give some detailed descriptions about how and why.
Wow, 九月轉來的縱然君的作業難度不底啊。這兩天腦海裏在7，8個選象中取舍（生命，時間，愛，健康，信仰。。。）。 難到就沒有一個能包括全部的選象嗎？哈哈，想出來了， 我選：身心健康分布係數， 我把它叫身體加心理的非線性組合值。
身體健康是基本的，如果有殘疾，心理健康很高的話， 可以彌補，如霍金。
身體健康，而心理不健康，係數值絕對很低。如四肢發達，滿腦子壞水的人，生命和時間對他毫無意義， 生不如死。
心理健康包括我能想到的所有美好,如：珍惜時間， 愛人，愛己，愛美，感恩。。。
次係數越高越好，每個人都不一樣。
具體計算次係數? 請參考九月，縱然的博文， 均有詳細科學論術。
哈哈， 九月，縱然， 我沒有cheating 啊！我的選象就是一個：the most invaluable thing in the world is:追求自己最高的身心健康分布係數
AJ, that is what I am expecting, fiat lux!
It seems that you have given some serious thoughts to the essence of life, no wonder you are ahead of curve in terms of success. :)
Do you know , in some aspect, you and I have something in common: That is to push your blog partner out of her comforting zone to face the challenges and make a difference to this world even she sometimes “cries out” for help without knowing the backings that have been already in place.
Jeez, Can our poet stop for a moment without writing a poem ? You give me too much pressure for coming up some catchy phrases. :) That being said, your comments constantly remind us the beauties of the rhyme, sound and imagery in this wonderful world we live. Keep up with your good work, though, let the creative juice flow. :)
Appreciate your well-wish.
Dude, please don’t be so nervous, your answer is as great as any contributor’s one, that’s given. BTW, in my blog, people can say whatever are on their minds. Unlike at your home, you may have to be skillful to bypass those possible “minefields”. For instance, if your wife asks you a “tricky” question, you might have to be extremely careful for the answer you’d come up. Otherwise, "wrong" answer may get you in trouble. :) Fortunately, you are safe here. Thank you for constant tiger-powered support! :)
hehe , ok, i'll see what I can come up with...
而如果我必須從這四條中選擇一條的話,那麽我以為"堅定的理想信念"當是最珍貴最不能失去的. "堅定的理想信念"是履行使命，達到目標的精神動力，是立身做人的精神支柱。
信念能助人克服困難，戰勝挫折，向既定的目標頑強努力，向更高的目標繼續忠實前進; 信念也能使人在受到威脅遇到困境時,不放棄自己的做事做人準繩,做一個頂天立地無愧自己良心的人.
With the above said,inevitably,the word "satisfaction" comes to my mind. Everyone's wants and needs are different,hence,the most invaluable thing in my life is "to be satisfied,to know how to appreciate what I have in my hand",it could be all gone by tomorrow.
Am I flunking the test,縱然和九月? 嗬嗬~
Please don’t worry about it, continue enjoying watching the exciting matches at Australian Open - a wonderful tournament with many surprises.
But, you do need to get some good sleep though, otherwise, you may not be able to focus.
Thank your very much for taking time to reply.
縱然你好
我這一周半是成了晝伏夜出的野獸了！！
這不剛剛看完一場5盤大戰，曆時5小時10分鍾。。。的澳網半決賽，是從半夜3：30開始。。。到現在8點40分～～～～
哈哈，自己都不相信能堅持
天天如此。。。
哇。比賽太精彩了。。。很累很開心（不過最近太缺睡啦～～～）
不好意思
感覺時間太不夠用了，總是覺得有許多沒來得及做的事情，所以懷著十分歉疚的心情，我才認為世界上時間這看不見摸不著的東西，真是價值連城啊無法估算的，你們說呢？
向你的勤奮學習，其實你每個帖我都悄悄來學習過
嗬嗬
我要去睡了，現在是早上九點）））
Appreciate your CNY greetings. Now please let me give my best wishes to you and your family: May you and your family have an enriching and joyful year in 2012!
I am assuming you have had your favorite dish/soup already as the "pre-painkiller". Can I say few words about your comments without hurting your feelings ? :)
Wow, I was a bit “stunned” by the smoothness and powerfulness in the two way communications embedded in your single comment piece, on top of that, the self-bashing was funny as well.
Thank you very much for your contribution and enlightenment with the backings, please feel free to add on more reasons before the due day as you see fit.
AJ, thanks a lot for your contribution. Hope that if it’s not too much trouble to you, please add some “meaty chucks” to the “soup”. The due day is 15 days away.
Thank you very much for your contribution and enlightenment. Please feel free to add more reasons before the due day if you feel like it. :)
You are a well-versed writer and an experienced and seasoned “fighter” with unusual endurance. If you’d set an example to provide the hard and hush truth without a suffice explanation, I am afraid that the lights in this city might be dimmed for days and months to come. :) Please don’t let my scare tactic to make you uncomfortable, I am kidding you. On the other hands, I need your reasons and why. :)
Thank you for delivering your answer in my backyard, appreciated!
Here is my thinking: Granted, each of us is a different and unique being in granular level, but in the larger scale, we’d share many similarities, like it or not. Yes, the world we live is full of fake products and phony characters, yet our fate, personalities, and values we are holding onto often enable us to grab the most important thing or belief albeit all these odds or tide that we maybe have to deal with or face. In other words, our answers should the reflections/snapshots of what our priorities and wants would be at a specific time frame. It is my hope, for a short moment, we'd stay away from the group-thinking, and each of us is able to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth without any shame or contrition.
Again, thank you for your thoughtful comments and happy CNY to you and your family!
At this moment, the answer for me is: "To Know oneSELF"
If one knows oneSELF fully, one will be a fully awakened soul, and will behave differently, at a much higher consciousness contributing to PEACE, at personal, social and planetary levels.
Thank you 縱然君 for posting this thought provoking article, as you always do.
And thanks to your replies to my comments on your Maple Tree Story in 九月’s blog. I am glad to hear that you are recovered anew :)
There is no better occasion to say hi to you in your own “backyard”, and wish you all the best for this special year of the Dragon.
May all your dreams come true :)
春節好
給這兒所有的朋友！！
later:life
now: Jesus
I know I won't be widely understood but at least my friends will allow me to be different:)
請縱大才子高抬貴手筆下留人，要處置務必等我吃喝完了醃燉鮮過完了年，OK? (如果我改用"就OK了"，是不是能夠增加點官腔? 讓大家也仰視我半秒鍾?)
上麵的不成東西的東西都是我的馬甲寫的, 我的馬甲說中文寫中文，我是隻說英文，中文裝聽不懂的主。縱大才子不要誤會，我絕對沒有別的意思。我的馬甲老是喜歡自作聰明自鳴得意地亂開玩笑，同時還不許別人開她和她馬甲的玩笑。隻可惜我英文水平太差達不到揮灑自如開玩笑的境界，我的馬甲很是看不起我。
今晚借縱大才子的風水寶地給大家拜年，同時虛晃一槍大方一記，紅包每人一個，還可以多要。我的馬甲大家鼓勵多吃多占的。
Thank you for inviting me. :)
There are a list of things that are important to me: my own health, my family's wellbeing, knowledge, financial security, and so on.
However, I could have everything there is to have yet feel utterly unhappy at the same time.
Therefore, I believe that ability to understand --- "Happiness is a state of mind" is the most invaluable thing in the world. I call it my third eye. When I open my third eye, I start to see, to feel content.
...... Have a wonderful weekend. & Happy Chinese New Year!
“我是不是比較貪哈” Hmm ... absolutely! :) You are very “greedy, indeed. Well, who doesn’t ! :) Those goodies you favored are really priceless to a large extent. I am fascinated by your reasons for which you pick former when pitting life against love. Can you elaborate a bit on that please ?
I know the pain to lose your beloved father was insurmountable, and apparently, the lingering grief still tortures you time to time. I certainly can feel you suffering from intellectual level not physical one. Honestly speaking, I am not sure what I am going to do if it’d happen to me. Recently, I mentioned my fears to one of my close friends: If one day I’d lose my father, mother, grandpa and grandma, I am afraid that my whole world would just collapse. Anyway, it’s CNY time, let’s ditch this kind of sentimental thingies.
BTW, no, your answer did not disappoint me at all, First of all, this’s an open-ended question, and secondly there is no right or wrong answer. Third, we are, pretty much, the products shaped by many attributes including our personal experiences.
Thank you very much for taking time to deliver your answer in timely fashion, and if it’s possible, please give us an more detailed version. I will give the more detailed reqs for people to reference.
I am sorry to ask you to hold your answer for almost a year. :) For that, please forgive me.
Jeeze, I couldn't believe it! another greedy one? :)I don’t blame you; it seems that you want to grab all of the goodies that life can offer. Can you make your mind to pick just one ?
It is my plan: by the fifteenth day of CNY month, I’ll post the answers from all the contributors. Then, we will see how people prioritize their life values and beliefs. It should be an interesting survey to look at it even the number of participants might be small.
Do you realize that as a later entrant, you somehow have to pay a “late fee” to join us? Please don’t be panic, I am sure you will be ok after my explanation. This is what you are going to do, you’ll be required to submit your answer with some of your thoughts over your pick (in English or Chinese ). Hopefully your enlightenment would be able to allow us to take a peek into your brain. :)
Please don’t be a quitter or deserter, okay ? I have full confidence in you. It should be just as easy as a piece of “C cake” for you after all those tough situations you have weathered.
You are getting smarter and brighter every single day :)) (you have been always intelligent lady, okay?) , FYI, every picture or every song I put on in my blog has some reasons and meanings embedded in it, it’s a puzzle or “trap” depending whom you ask. The best approach is to eat the “bait” without swallowing the “hook” :)
Thanks you a lot for being a superb speed messenger, hopefully none of recipients would “kill” the messenger. In the meantime, let’s hope we have some really good responses from our friends. Nevertheless, JIC people are afraid of giving their “secret” away, we should respect their choices as well.
For the silver piece you demanded, Let’s see what we can work out some kind of alternatives. BTW, I remember the elders should give the red packets to the youngsters in CNY as the tradition in the city I came from, not vise versa. Can you tell, I am dodging the payout. :)
And I am sorry to tell you that you need to rework your reasons a bit in order to pass the "inspection". As you know I have high expectation on you.
Hey,I got your point.:) Please don’t worry about it, it’s just some kind of misunderstanding between us; there no hard feelings from my side. Let’s move on.:)
Please allow me to change a subject, I posted a question to many net friend last year. I am wondering if you’d like to give a shot, sharing your insight with us.
Thx in advance.
要我說，世上無價的東西很多，（我是不是比較貪哈~~）愛情、親情、健康都是無價的...
如果隻能說一樣，那我覺得還是生命最無價。
我肯定不會說“生命誠可貴，愛情價更高”的~~
縱然，這個回答會不會讓你失望呢？嗬嗬。
回複九月: 嘿嘿，這裏隻有看官，沒有裁判，暫時。 有答必賞，縱然說的。
但注意切題哈，“the most invaluable thing”，單數！ 然後再添油加醋，這是我的理解，罷了~~ 晚安！
Ok, 剛學了把雷鋒，做好事，送雞毛信，特此前來稟報和領取表揚~~~
有幾個類似俺這麽自投羅網的銀，就不曉得了，俺作業和額外差事已完成了。
哦，選圖很讚，曲徑通幽，可也難說，前麵興許就是片海市蜃樓，空中樓閣 :))
蘇姐姐,I didn't want to answer,but didn't want to disappoint yours "期待看到更多的不同回答，見仁見智，不必多慮哈~~"
Now I really need to go have some good night sleep (at this moment,sleep is the most invaluable thing in my life~~~)
"the most invaluable thing in the world", I first thought about the word LOVE(as you might try to hint/trick us with this attached song~~) when I first saw your raised the question. Now my answer to it turned out to be a different one after a short year :))
To me, TIME is the most invaluable thing in the world。 Because "Time, your grace. Of all losses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed." --- King Henry VIII
再便是孩子，因為孩子是我們人類的希望。 而愛孩子，也莫過於給他們時間，失去了跟孩子在一道的時間，是任何東西都難以彌補的。
謝謝縱然的“舊話新題”。 也期待看到更多的不同回答，見仁見智，不必多慮哈~~
