夜里睡不着,需要一个让人振奋的解释

Pageviews:1167

工作的繁忙,生活的压力,总总事情,往往会让人时不时在夜里睡不着觉,因为脑海里太多繁琐的事情需要去思考。

昨晚我也睡不着,哪怕已经很困。夜里,上过洗手间,在床上翻来覆去一段时间,再看看表,已经是5点多了,还是睡不着。于是,一个问题浮现在脑海里——我为什么睡不着?

其实,我睡不着,这只是昨晚偶然的事情。我一定要给这个睡不着一个清晰的理由。于是我就回想我在夜里究竟在想什么。我想的是,在新的一年里,如何把工作做得更好,如何使自己的生活品质进一步提升,如何处理我目前面对的种种问题…… 最后,我得出一个结论——未来,充满了希望!昨晚上所想的事情,正是对一个更好的充满希望的未来的期盼!顿时,我感到非常高兴,因为我的这个结论,实在让我感到非常振奋!

结果,我决定6点钟就起床了,不像往常一样睡到快8点,然后急急忙忙地上班去。今天早上,我做了做运动,吃了一顿好的早餐,拿起自己喜欢的书阅读了1个小时,最后再出门上班去。清晨的这样两小时的安排,没有让我在白天里犯困(当然这需要咖啡的帮助),而让我感到整天都充满了力量——因为,我告诉我自己,自己的每一分每一秒所做的事情,都促使我更快地一步一步地迈向着我所期盼的更好的生活。

因此,我告诉大家——别再把睡不着解释为失眠了,其实那是为新的一天做好更充分的热身运动!

心形煎蛋

I cooked two fried eggs and two peices of toast for breakfast this morning. I didn’t mean to make a heart shape but when the egg white appeared solid, I simply flipped the eggs over onto the yolk side. Then, here it is. A heart shape came out. I ran to grab my phone, . . . → Read More: Heart Shaped Fried Eggs

选择羊驼做“草泥马”做象征,是非常适合的,因为它们会向人吐口水!

Alpaca

最近跟同事谈起塔斯马尼亚岛上居民的羊驼,并且我把照片给他们看。他们很惊奇,因为我如此“大胆”,居然跟草泥马贴得那么近。在他们眼里,羊驼的最 大的特征,就是见到陌生人就给吐口水,而且是很大陀口水猛然喷射到人身上!于是,我就觉得,中国网民们选择使用这种动物作为那个词的象征,确实是挺适合的!不过话说回来,当你摸着羊驼,你会感觉到它们的毛非常顺滑,像猫一样;你也会感觉到,它们非常可爱,很难跟粗口联系上。我想,如果我不 惹它们,不对它们构成威胁,应该不会吐口水吧?况且,为了跟它照张照片,它主人还要求我“捐款”,大家可以留意照片中的羊驼脖子上挂着的 “Donation”小袋子。我们作为游客,都觉得,那老爷爷可真实在啊!—— No money, no talk! . . . → Read More: 选择羊驼做“草泥马”做象征,是非常适合的,因为它们会向人吐口水!

澳洲人一生的购房历程——中澳比较系列文章

此文讲解我对澳洲人一生的购房历程的了解,并且分析中国人们购房压力之所以大、幸福感如此低的6大原因:1、中国房产交易市场还不够活跃,特别是二手市场和私人交易;2、中国信贷市场还不够活跃;3、在中国,装修任务落在买房者身上;4、在中国,人们对通过房产获利的开发商和炒房者有偏见;5、在中国,新建房过多,并且新建房影响了尚好的旧房的价值;6、在中国,政府通过压制房价了帮助人们置业(成效几乎没有),但没有进一步帮助人们从置业中获得实在的利益。 . . . → Read More: 澳洲人一生的购房历程——中澳比较系列文章

我家附近的Cockatoo鹦鹉

Cockatoo Parrots

今天回家的时候听到一些类似在吃东西的声音。抬头一开,原来是有两只白鹦鹉在吃树叶。仔细一看,其中一只鹦鹉是用它的“手”抓着树叶往自己嘴里送的。我是第一次见到鸟类动物用“手”拿这东西吃的。上网查了一下,这种在澳洲非常常见的鹦鹉叫Cockatoo Parrot。 . . . → Read More: 我家附近的Cockatoo鹦鹉

My Tasmania Trip: Natural, Historic and Organic

On the peak of Mount Wellington overlooking Hobart

I joined a tour group to travel to Tasmania from Sydney during the 2010 Christmas and new year holiday. We visited two major cities such as Hobart and Launceston, as well as some small old towns like Richmond, Ross, Port Arthur and Sheffield. I think three words can summarise all our destinations in Tasmania: natural, historic and organic. We enjoyed the breathtaking and beautiful scenery on Mt Wellington and Cradle Mountain, walked through Mt Field and Cataract Gorge surrounded with rain forest, dropped in Richmond, Ross and Sheffield with a strong historical sense, visited the former convict settlement Port Arthur which was just been listed as one of the World Heritage Properties in 2010, and went to farms and factories, which offer organic Tasmanian products such as cherry, raspberry, honey, lavender and abalone. We stayed at Mecure Hobart and Hotel Grand Chancellor Launceston. They are both four star hotels, but I highly recommend the latter to you if you are considering hotels in Tasmania. During the trips, I made some friends. It was glad to learn about the stories of other people’s life in Australia. The tour group was pretty diverse, where there were retired couples, business men, professionals, recent graduates, and current students. Some of them have immigrated to and been living in Australia for a very long time while some others (e.g., parents) just came from overseas to visit their children for the first time. I can’t wait to share my photos with you. Click the title to view the photos! . . . → Read More: My Tasmania Trip: Natural, Historic and Organic

360与腾讯QQ之争给我的启示

最近360安全软件大肆宣传腾讯QQ扫描用户的文件,侵犯用户的隐私。之后,360推出扣扣保镖,宣称保护QQ用户的安全和隐私。腾讯则反击称该软件禁用了QQ的很多功能,严重影响QQ的正常运作,并有可能侵犯QQ用户的隐私。腾讯并进一步宣布QQ与360软件不兼容,让用户在两者中二选一。面对“不兼容”这一招,360只好召回扣扣保镖,停止提供下载。到最后,政府出面干预,令双方均作出检讨并兼容对方。这件事的前前后后,最大的赢家你猜是谁?360!整件事情给我的启示是:1、如果你的影响力不够大,就攻击影响力大的人和事物;2、抢先建立评价标准,其力量很强大;3、寻找有最终决定权的人的帮忙。 . . . → Read More: 360与腾讯QQ之争给我的启示

Embedding Poll and Survey in Articulate Presentations on Moodle

If you are using Articulate Studio to develop your interactive e-learning course and using an LMS to host the courseware, you may want to do a poll and survey on relevant topics within the course in order to promote the students’ participation and interests. If you would like to embed a poll or a survey within an Articulate presentation, you may firstly think of using Articulate Quizmaker to develop the survey questions. However, many people are concerned about the reporting function of Articulate Quizmaker. With Articulate Quizmaker, you can develop graded quizzes or non-graded surveys. If you set the questions types as survey, you would find it difficult to deal with the reporting process. This blog post will provide you with a solution to embed poll or survey in Articulate presentations utilising the Choice or Feedback activity on Moodle. . . . → Read More: Embedding Poll and Survey in Articulate Presentations on Moodle

What Has Jiangmen No.1 High School Philately Association Given Me? (Chinese)

一中邮协能给我带来什么?相信这个问题,是很多同学初次接触邮协正想加入的时候会问的问题。有一些好处,是比较明显的,比如可以丰富课余生活、增长 见识、培养集邮兴趣、与志趣相投的会员们交朋友等等。然而,在我离开江门一中七年后的今天再回想当时我参加邮协工作的事情的时候,我就忽然想到,邮协给我 带来的,岂止这些?邮协还给我带来许许多多具有深远意义的能受用一生东西!而这些东西,却恰恰只留给想着“我能给邮协带来什么?”的人。我相信一中邮协这 个大家庭里,有许许多多这样的人。正因为有了这么多得力的会员、理事干部和校友的支持,邮协才得以不断地成长和壮大。值江门一中集邮协会成立二十周年之 际,我想对我至今所领悟到和体会到的我参与邮协工作的经历所带给我的受用一生的东西进行一次总结。 . . . → Read More: What Has Jiangmen No.1 High School Philately Association Given Me?

GPRS Settings for China Mobile on iPhone 3GS

I recently travelled to China for a short stay. I purchased a prepaid China Mobile Sim card and used it on my iPhone 3GS. However, I had trouble in accessing the Internet via GPRS. I called China Mobile for help. But they said their standard GPRS settings for iPhone 3GS were not available. So I had to go to a local Apple store for help. In this post, I’m going to share the settings that worked. . . . → Read More: GPRS Settings for China Mobile on iPhone 3GS
