中国:子弹车 China: The Non-Stopping Bullet Train Concept

A new Chinese train innovation -

How to get on & off the bullet train without stopping. Yet passengers get on and off. No time is wasted. The bullet train is moving all the time.

If there are 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou, just stopping and accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time. A mere 5 min stop per station (elderly passengers cannot be hurried) will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours of train journey time!

The Chinese have come up with a non-stopping train concept. When the train arrives at a station, it will not stop at all.

Embarking passengers at a station get onto a connector cabin way before the train even arrives at the station.

When the train arrives, it just slows down to pick up the connector cabin at the top of the train near the front.

While the train travels away from the station, these passengers will board the train from the connector cabin.

After passengers have boarded the train, the cabin connector cabin will move to the back of the train so that the passengers disembarking at the next station can board the connector cabin.

When the train arrives at the next station, the rear connector cabin is left behind at the station whilst the front of the train picks up embarking passengers in another connector cabin. 

太监的故事 The Eunuchs

下面没有了

一天纪晓岚进宫要面圣，被一个太监拦着。那太监素知纪晓岚饶富机智奇才，便央求他说个故事，否则不让他过去。

纪晓岚没办法，只好说道：‘从前有一个太监，’说道这里，顿了一下却不说了。

太监等了半响，忍不住问道，‘下面呢？’

这时纪晓岚笑了笑说，‘下面没有了。’

太监红了脸讪讪的让纪晓岚过了去。

那个东西还在嘛

说话纪晓岚考上状元的时候，年纪还很轻，于是便有个太监想戏弄他。

太监出了个上联要他对：‘小翰林 穿冬服 持夏扇 一部春秋曾读否’
.
纪晓岚不甘示弱，便回答：‘老总管 生南方 长北地 那个东西还在嘛？’

企业世界生存之道 Surviving in the Corporate World

Survival of the fittest.

Two guys were hiking through the jungle. Suddenly, they spotted a tiger. The tiger looked very hungry and very fast.

One of the guys reached into his pack and pulled out a pair of good shoes and changes his shoes.

His friend looked at him, 'Do you really think those shoes are going to make you run faster than that tiger?'

Any guesses for the answer?

The answer is: 'I don't have to run faster than that tiger. I just have to run faster than you.'

If this is also your answer, then: Welcome to the corporate world.

乾隆时期瓷器值六千九百万美金 This Chinese Vase Sold for US$ 69 Million Dollars

An 18th-century Chinese vase fetched a staggering 43 million pounds (US$69.2 million dollars, 50.7 million euros), an auction record for Chinese art on 11 Nov 2010 in a sale at a small London auction house.

The 16-inch (40-centimetre) Qianlong porcelain vase which dates from around 1740, is decorated with a "humorous fish" motif and has an elaborate construction which allows one to look through perforations in the outer vase to see a smaller vase inside.

The price is thought to be the highest ever paid for a Chinese artwork at auction, beating an 11th-century Song dynasty scroll which sold for 65.8 million dollars at a Beijing Poly International Auction in June 2010.

垂死者的五大悔恨 Five Regrets of the Dying

By Bronnie Ware Platinum Quality Author

For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives.

People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learned never to underestimate someone's capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

2. I wish I didn't work so hard.

This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, but in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip.  But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to themselves, that they were content.  When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.

When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly.

Choose happiness.
