I don't like the way I'm living my life at the moment, pretty much losing track of time and goals.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Some people spend too much time worrying about being better than others or looking good to others, forgetting about their own undertakings. At the end of the day, they will find their time wasted in not achieving anything to their own and their charm goes with this loss, hence more manipulation caused by lack of security.

生活中有好多野会分散我们的注意力，时不时要想想自己的目标，看东西就会清晰很多了。

昨晚在启的M-Zone处找到我的观点的back up：

There is always room for BEER!

上个月和妈看了一个关于中国今年高考的show。 提到北京的作文考题很难写。 今天终于在同事的墙看到了让我满足的答案。
北京考题:
"材料作文。学生根据材料自选角度，自拟题目写一篇不少于800字的文章，除诗歌外体裁不限。
    在课堂上，老师拿了一个玻璃杯，里面放了一个大石头，差不多和杯子一样大，老师问大家：杯子满了吗？
    一个学生回答：没满，还可以放沙子。
    待学生放完沙子，老师又问：满了吗？
    全班同学回答满了，有一个男孩却回答没有满，还可以放水。
    老师笑了，接着把沙子和石头倒出来，杯子是空的。
    这回老师是往杯子里放沙子和水，然后问大家，杯子满了吗？如果要放石头进去，该怎么放？
    男孩就把杯子里的沙子和水倒出来，先把石头放进去。"
我看到了题目，哑了。。。。。蠢蠢地，怎么想都想不到。。。

今天好运，在同事的墙上看到了一个美国教授在教 Introduction to Philosophy 讲的故事。 终于找到答案。
教授往一个罐里先放石头，再石子，再是沙，最后是啤酒。。。
"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognise that this is your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The >pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else, the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give
a dinner party and fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
What about the BEER???
“no matter how full your life is, there is always room for BEER.”
我没本事，不能洞悉人生大道理。不过这个答案令我很满意。难为北京这么多学生。。。不过不要怕，考得怎样不要紧，remember there is always BEER!!!
