11月30日 趣法一则14世纪,法国国王腓力四世(历史书上称为“Philip the fair”美男子腓力,也不知有啥来历)禁止公爵、伯爵、男爵和子爵及他们的夫人拥有四件以上的服装。除了已继承城堡的继承人外,未婚妇女只允许拥有一件连衣裙。但他的命令没有提及鞋子,于是鞋子成了高雅的象征。有一种以其发明者命名的poulaine靴,其鞋尖有各种不同的长度。公主和贵族穿的靴尖长达2英尺,富人和级别较低者穿的靴尖长1英尺,而普通人穿的靴尖只有半英尺长。法国十字军穿的这种靴子在1396年的Nicopolis战役中成了累赘,他们不得不把靴尖切掉才能逃跑。 11月27日 刑事司法游戏的13条规则摘自Alan Dershowitz教授《致年轻律师的信》

Stay Foolish.This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
My second story is about love and loss.
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.
Ray:Steve Jobs是我很欣赏的一个家伙,虽然没念几天大学,但充满了street smart。关于他引用的那句"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." ,我看到过好几个版本的翻译,比如"求知若饥,虚怀若愚",比如“物有所不足,智有所不明(据说还出自楚辞)”,比如“穷且益坚,傻当更奋”,然而我最喜欢的版本是“我傻我知道,我穷我努力。” 11月14日 老饕的心愿有一老饕在佛祖前燃香祈祝:“不愿我请人,不愿人请我,只愿人请人,中间有个我。”如此,即可有吃有喝,又无人情债务,妙极!有这等好事,佛祖也要去烧高香。
————转自汪朗《赐食花活儿》 11月13日 大风歌今天读到许渊冲先生翻的刘邦《大风歌》: “A great wind rised, oh! the clouds are driven aweay.
其实大学时旁听过许老先生几节课,对他的很多翻译还是颇为欣赏和佩服,比如“孤帆远影碧空尽,唯见长江天际流” 翻译成His lessening sail is lost in the boundless blue sky, where I see but the endless River rolling by."就颇有韵味。不过把《大风歌》(我个人看来是大流氓写的大气魄的打油诗)翻成这种句式,总觉得有些好笑。这里绝没有嘲笑许先生的意思,只是觉得有时中英文的鸿沟确实很难逾越。
摘录另一个中流氓张宗昌写的爱国诗歌《俺也写个大风歌》,不知道哪位高手有兴趣也给翻译一下,呵呵。
“大炮开兮轰他娘, 11月12日 新任美联储主席Ben Bernanke趣事一则据说Bernanke今年年初到总统办公室参加一个会议,身穿深色西装,脚上却穿了一双黄褐色袜子。这身不大协调的搭配受到了小布什的温言嘲讽。几天之后,在总统出席的另一个会议上,Bernanke早早赶到会场,将黄褐色袜子分发给包括副总统切尼在内的其他与会官员。在小布什到来之前,Bernanke已经说服他们都穿上了这种袜子! 11月9日 司考又快要出分了今天做daily research的时候,在《法制日报》上发现了司考10日(就是今天晚上)出分的公告,一下想起了去年和前年查分的情景(这句用的是小学作文“一件小事“的经典开头模式)。
03年第一次参加司考,之前一直非常忙,只放了10天的假,赶回学校没日没夜地突击。考完了以后倒是挺有信心。查分的时候还在大连常驻,记得是晚上9点多,用手机打到陕西的一个信息台查出来的,结果差了5分。查之前根本没有心理准备会不过(可能是因为之前在大考中的运气都太好了),想的都是第二天怎么庆祝的事。听到挂了以后还不大相信,晚上12点多又查了一次,情绪一下很低落,呆坐在电视机前看了好长时间英超。但第二天陆续得知我认识的人大多数都挂了(除了像LJJ这样的考霸),于是愿赌服输,蔫蔫地闷在屋里看了一天法条。现在想来,那天的天气特别好,没去海边玩有点可惜。
04年第二次考复习的比较充分,考前在学校足足复习了一个月,于是很镇定地去考试,考完以后很狼狈地去老板家里加班。回想起来03年完全就没有等分的感觉,直到出分那一天才有些心慌。而04年在考完试以后就一直处在矛盾的情绪中,听到个小道消息就心神不宁,听不到消息又忍不住揣测。也许这就叫一朝被蛇咬吧。出分是在一个周五的晚上,六点多的时候老板发现今天所有的助理都没有打算加班的样子,一问是要出分了就开恩说大家可以回家了。我一路闯红灯冲回家,胡乱扒了几口饭就打开电脑,同时开了几个窗口等着有什么新消息出来。又是九点左右,司法局瘫痪了快一个星期的网站居然能进去了,我输入身份证号以后“通过”一下就跳出来了。于是大吼一声算是松了一口气。爸妈都在外地旅游,赶快发了短信过去,一会电话就不断打进来,几个叔和姨都表示祝贺,我终于可以用轻描淡写的口气谈论:“这种考试主要就是拼体力”。12点多的时候,大部分参加考试的同事和同学的消息传来,基本都过了,大家互相恭喜了一阵。第二天到办公室加班也是一片喜气,仿佛大家都是来所里参加聚会的,中午吃饭时随便有人说个烂笑话大家都会狂笑。
两次查分的经过让我看到了自己的没出息,不仅离之前想象的“泰山崩于前而色不变”“小儿辈遂已破贼”有很大差距,就是比起某些小姑娘来也有些汗颜。庆幸的是两次都是自己独自经历,一悲一喜失魂落魄的样子也没有人看得到。
又到这个好像很关键的时刻了(多年以后再看可能也真没什么,尤其是那些没过的人到时候也都发达了),很替那些等分的朋友着急,祝他们都能如愿吧。 印度口音昨天晚上慕名去中体上那个印度教练的yoga课。果然很不错,下课的时候感觉所有在办公室里变得僵硬的关节都打开了,呼吸的时候特别顺畅。上完课以后,因为要隔二十分钟才能洗澡,就凑上去和教练聊了一阵,关于如何keep balance什么的,也挺有启发的。 今天上班以后和一个资深律师讨论一个案子,说着说着他突然换成中文问:“Ray,你今天说英文为什么有点indian accent?有点像我们在Silicon Valley的那些客户”(听说那边的高科技公司里有很多印度裔高层)。我当时想说:“你一个老美说中国话还有东北大碴子味呢(他太太是大连人)”,不过还是忍住了。 现在越想越觉得好笑,我天天都听VOA也没见学来点新英格兰音,好歹沾点布什的南方口音都成啊,怎么刚和教练聊了那么一会就走调了,莫非他还会催眠? Classic lines of the HitchLife is not the amount of breaths you take, it is the moments that take your breath away.
生活不是呼吸了多少空气,生活是那些让你无法呼吸的瞬间。
Alex Hitch Hitchens: Because that's what people do. They leap, and hope to God they can fly, because otherwise you just drop like a rock, wondering the whole way down, why in the hell did I jump? But here I am, Sarah, falling, and the only one that makes me feel like I can fly... is you.
男主角Alex:这就是人们所做的事。他们跳起来,希望自己能飞。否则的话,会像一块石头一样坠落,而坠落的过程中一直在想:“我他妈干嘛要跳?” 我就在这里,坠落着,只有一个人,能让我感觉到飞翔,那就是你。
除了几段台词以外,"Hitch"的配乐也还可圈可点,主演Will Smith唱的主题歌就很好听。 11月5日 丰台法院的“十条忌语”(转载)北京丰台法院公布“十条忌语” 与信访投诉挂钩
中新网11月3日电 北京市丰台区人民法院执行庭昨天公布了执行工作“十条忌语”。中国青年报报道,如果法官违反了规定,将纳入对个人业绩的考核中,并与信访投诉工作结合起来。
这十条忌语是:
一、这里是法院,是你说了算还是我说了算。 二、你不服,到上面告好了。 三、你急啥,法院又不是只有你一个案子(法院不是为你家开的或早干嘛去了)。 四、罗嗦什么,到底是听你说还是听我说(是你执行还是我执行)。
五、要告就告吧,本事这么大还来找我干什么? 六、这个案子我管不了,去找领导好了(或你爱找谁找谁)。 七、你问我,我问谁。 八、你这事不好执行,一年也是它,十年也是它。 九、你这案子执行不了没什么新鲜的,执行不了的多了。 十、甭废话,不交钱就抓你。 该院有关负责人介绍,这是丰台区法院在执行工作规范化建设上的一个重要举措,冀望“十条忌语”的公布执行,促使执行人员从点滴做起,从细节入手,不断提高文明执行的水平。 I Run For Life(Melissa Etheridge)
It's been years since they told her about it
The darkness her body possessed And the scars are still there in the mirror Everyday that she gets herself dressed Though the pain is miles and miles behind her And the fear is now a docile beast If you ask her why she is still running She'll tell you it makes her complete [Chorus:]
I run for hope I run to feel I run for the truth For all that is real I run for your mother your sister your wife I run for you and me my friend I run for life It's a blur since they told me about it
How the darkness had taken its toll And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body But they will never get a piece of my soul And now I'm still learning the lesson To waken when I hear the call And if you ask me why I am still running I'll tell you I run for us all [Chorus]
And someday if they tell you about it If the darkness knocks on your door Remember her remember me We will be running as we have before Running for answers Running for more 11月4日 想起小学,一件有骨气的,一没骨气的~(转载)发信站: 水木社区 (Tue Nov 1 14:05:44 2005), 站内 先有骨气的~ 读小学时,妈妈工作忙,没精力监督我学习 一次心血来潮了就检查下我的作业本 一看写的马虎,暴怒,双手一扯,我的作业本就被无情的撕成了两半~ 当时我呀,豆大的泪珠咂在桌上 默默的捡起残废的本子,幽幽的说,我一笔笔写的,你不心疼我心疼 接着,一口一口的吃掉了半个本子~ 到现在我还记得纸的味道 那次我妈认输了,她觉得她孩子被她逼傻了 再来个没骨气的~ 还是小学,老和妈闹阶级矛盾,实在没什么优势赢,只能气她说:你再这样我就不活了- - 最后我妈被惹毛了 怒到:这么小点动不动用死来逼人了,反啦~ 嗖的把我一提,抓着我的腿,把我架到架到凉台栏杆上,大半个身子悬在外面(我家二楼) 说到:你想死是吧,说是,我就放手~~`` 我:。。。。555不想 从那天到现在,我再没说过一句要死的话了,活着挺好的 伪劣产品泛滥的经济原因最近一直在看《黄河边的中国》,应该说这是一本有些沉重的书。当下很多时候媒体被强势利益集团绑架,“大人物”的英雄事迹和锦言妙论往往成为大家关注的焦点,广大处于弱势而分散的农民同胞却像武侠小说里的店小二,大家并不认真关心他们作为个体的死活。而这本书却在例证:很多店小二之所以不能成为令狐冲,并不是他天资太差,只是因为他没有机会上华山。
但是另一方面,这本书也是非常有趣的,因为对我这种总体上缺乏common sense的人来说,真实世界充满了意外,嗯,就是“意料之外,情理之中”。
比如下面这一段:
“前不久,老孟到巩义市某镇出差。该镇地下矿藏资源极为丰富,大小私营企业很是发达。他们靠生产伪劣的化肥、水泥、耐火砖、电线大发其财。1994年受到中央电视台“焦点访谈”的曝光。原以为此镇的产品从此失去销路,人人陷入恐慌之中。不料,电视台曝光不久,全国各地商人纷纷前来定货。1995年该镇的产值利润猛增。原来伪劣商品对经商人员而言,意味着廉价与高回扣。廉价与高回扣是中国目前伪劣产品大肆泛滥的经济原因,中央电视台的曝光反而是替他们免费做了广告。我说:这样看来,企业主、商人与地方政府结成一个共同经济利益的联盟,利用伪劣产品排挤名优产品,坑害分散、无组织的广大消费者。在这一坚固的经济联盟面前,法律必然显得软弱无力。”
我个人觉得这一段其实揭示了很多在中国做生意的道理,不过今天踢球踢得太累了,以后再写吧。 11月2日 怀念学阀一天下午,实际上已接近黄昏,这是1968年的夏末之季,红卫兵叫大家排好队伍,并带领这个队伍来到北大材料厂。红卫兵指着地上的一堆稻草说,你们各人抱各人的稻草,拖到外文楼去!这个队伍约有30人左右,名之曰“牛鬼蛇神”。这队人全部是哲学系教师,绝大多数是老年教师多半年过花甲,还有几位年过古稀的老先生,当时冯友兰先生也已年近古稀。每人抱了个稻草,真是连拉带拖很吃力的好不容易到了外文楼。因为北大材料厂是在未名湖北岸的东头往北拐去朗润园的路上,从北大材料厂至外文楼,估计至少有三百米远的距离。来到外文楼内一教室,各人用各人抱来的稻草铺在水泥地板上,这就是每人的床铺。从此以后,这队“牛鬼蛇神”的队伍就在外文楼里住下来了。
一切听指挥,早请示排队,晚请示排队,背语录排队,出去劳动排队,每天三顿饭排队。每顿饭排队是到外文楼北边的“黑帮劳改大院”去打饭。每排队时必要报数,在报数的同时要自报自己的政治帽子。冯友兰先生在里面是个子较高的几位之一,总是叫他排在头一个,并叫他说;“报到!我叫冯友兰!是......反动学术权威!”红卫兵说“不行,重报!你这是避重就轻!你是反动学阀!”冯先生改口说“我......我是反动学阀”。洪谦先生因为害怕,怕也说他避重就轻,也说“我叫洪谦,反动学阀”红卫兵说“不对!你还不够格,你是反动学术权威”。洪先生吓得连忙改口说自己是“反动学术权威”。冯定先生在自我报名为“反动学术权威”时,红卫兵说:“你不是就写过一本《平凡的真理》麽?你还想往反动学术权威里躜!你是反革命修正主义分子!”就这样每月如此,每天如此,每顿饭如此。 (摘自郭兰芳《冯友兰教授“牛棚生活”二三事》)
这个段子让我想起李敖在《一个学阀的悲剧》中的评论:“李济三十一岁起就做学阀,八十四岁才在武侠小说中死去。他的死,象征了中国重量级学阀时代的结束,今后的学阀只有迷你级,再也不迷人了!”
也许让这个能分得清“学阀”和“学术权威”的红卫兵来当Tsinghua校长,才会培养出新一代“超级学阀”吧,嘿嘿 |
