人生沒有捷徑，也沒有坦途。
阻力和挫折有利於個性的成長。
Strong Winds, Strong Roots, Tall Trees
那天，跟老板聊天，說到美國西部的開發曆史以及文化。老板說西部的信條就是：You have to fight, you fight; You have to go into a jail, you go into a jail.
Resistance helps you grow personalities, just like strong winds help trees grow tall.
“Strong Winds Strong Roots: What Trees Teach Us About Life”
A great experiment in the desert called the biodome created a living environment for human, plant and animal life. A huge glass dome was constructed to house an artificial, controlled environment with purified air and water, healthy soil and filtered light. The intent was to afford perfect growing conditions for trees, fruits and vegetables, as well as humans.
People lived in the biodome, for many months at a time, and everything seemed to do well with one exception. When the trees grew to a certain height, they would topple over. It baffled scientists until they realized they forgot to include the natural element of wind. Trees need wind to blow against them because it causes their root systems to grow deeper, which supports the tree as it grows taller.
Who among us doesn’t long for a perfect growing environment for ourselves, with no disruptions from outside influences? We strive to avoid the times of contrast and tension, when life’s daily challenges push against us. When they do, the normal tendency is to curse them. If trees could talk, would we hear them curse the wind each time they encountered a storm?
We can learn a great deal from nature’s wisdom at work if we are open to the lesson. Watch how a tree bends and sways gracefully when the wind blows against it. It does not stand rigid, resisting the flow of energy. It does not push back. The tree accepts the strong wind as a blessing that helps it grow.
Such experiences develop our character and deepen our spiritual roots. When we grow deep, we too, stand tall.

對啊，副會長正響應＂山海情＂致富的高招，在家跟周易一起種蘑菇呢。
快樂在於衝數，
自信來源於自誇
讓暴風雨對衝數來的更猛烈些吧，我就算了，隻喜歡陽光明媚風平浪靜的日子，哈哈
