Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character

The Japanese have always loved fresh fish. But the water close to Japan has not held many fish for decades. So to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went further than ever. The further the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring the fish. If the return trip took more time, the fish were not fresh. To solve this problem, fish companies installed freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go further and stay longer. However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen fish. And they did not like the taste of frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, they were tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste. The fishing industry faced an impending crisis! But today, they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan .

How did they manage? To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks but with a small shark. The fish are challenged and hence are constantly on the move. The challenge they face keeps them alive and fresh!

Have you realized that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time tired and dull ? Basically in our lives, sharks are new challenges to keep us active. If you are steadily conquering challenges, you are happy. Your challenges keep you energized. Don't create success and revel in it in a state of inertia. You have the resources, skills and abilities to make a difference. Put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!

"Get to know myself better" test

Basically it's a personality test, if you are interested to try, click here.

Here's the result of my test :)


Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

选择 - Choice - Pilihan

Jerry 的故事

Jerry是美國一家餐廳的經理,
他總是有好心情,當別人問他最近過得如何,
他總是有好消息可以說,
他總是回答『如果我再過得好一些,我就比雙胞胎還幸運囉!』
當他換工作的時候,
許多服務生都跟著他從這家餐廳換到另一家,
為什麼呢?
因為Jerry是個天生的激勵者,
如果有某位員工今天運氣不好,
Jerry總是適時地告訴那位員工往好的方面想。
看到這樣的情境真的讓我很好奇,
所以有一天我到Jerry那兒問他:
『我不懂沒有人能夠老是那樣地積極樂觀,你是怎麼辦到的?』
Jerry回答:
『每天早上我起來告訴自己,
我今天有兩種選擇,我可以選擇好心情,或者我可以選擇壞心情,
我總是選擇有好心情,
即使有不好的事發生,我可以選擇做個受害者,或是選擇從中學習,
我總是選擇從中學習。
每當有人跑來跟我抱怨,
我可以選擇接受抱怨或者指出生命的光明面,態度。我從他身上學到:
每天你都能選擇享受你的生命,或是憎恨它。
這是唯一一件真正屬於你的權利
我總是選擇生命的光明面。』
『但並不是每件事都那麼容易啊!』我抗議地說
Jerry說:『的確如此,
生命就是一連串的選擇,每個狀況都是一個選擇,
你選擇如何回應,你選擇人們如何影響你的心情,
你選擇處於好心情或是壞心情。你選擇如何過你的生活。』
數年後,我聽到Jerry意外地做了一件你絕想不到的事:
有一天他忘記關上餐廳的後門,
結果早上三個武裝歹徒闖入搶劫,
他們要脅Jerry打開保險箱,
由於過度緊張,
Jerry弄錯了一個號碼,
造成搶匪的驚慌,
開槍射擊Jerry,
幸運地,Jerry很快地被鄰居發現,
緊急送到醫院搶救,
經過18小時的外科 手術,以及密集照顧,
Jerry終於出院了,還有塊子彈留在他身上?
事件發生6個月之後我遇到Jerry,
我問他最近怎麼樣,
他回答:『如果我再過得好一些,我就比雙胞胎還幸運了。要看看我的傷痕嗎?』
我婉拒了,
但我問他當搶匪闖入的時候,他的心路歷程。
Jerry答道:
『我第一件想到的事情是我應該鎖後門的,
當他們擊中我之後,我躺在地板上,
還記得我有2個選擇:
我可以選擇生,或選擇死。
我選擇活下去。』
『你不害怕嗎?』我問他:
Jerry繼續說:
『醫護人員真了不起,他們一直告訴我沒事,放心。
但是當他們將我推入緊急手術間的路上,
我看到醫生跟護士臉上憂慮的神情,
我真的被嚇到了,
他們的眼好像寫著-他已經是個死人了,
我知道我需要採取行動。』
『當時你做了什麼?』我問:
Jerry說:
『嗯!當時有個碩大的護士用吼叫的音量問我一個問題,
她問我是否會對什麼東西過敏。
我回答:『有』。
這時醫生跟護士都停下來等待我的回答。
我深深地吸了一口氣喊著:『子彈!』
聽他們笑完之後,
我告訴他們:『我現在選擇活下去,
請把我當作一個活生生的人來開刀,不是一個活死人。』
Jerry能活下去當然要歸功於醫生的精湛醫術,
但同時也由於他令人驚異的
沒有人能夠控制或奪去的東西~就是你的態度。
如果你能時時注意這件事實,
你生命中的其他事情都會變得容易許多。
