今天看完两期《鲁豫有约》,分别讲李安和韩寒的。啊,三期,还有一期讲最近的电影的,没有引起什么共鸣,就忘了。
感觉就是说做一件事情一定要很自然的去做。比如李安排电影,韩寒长跑(对,是长跑,他长跑很强)和写文章。你如果是"硬"想着如何如何去做,却不一定能做到很好了。
世界上有这么多的事情可以做,肯定有一件是适合你做的。很多人不知道自己适合做什么,还有人不能坚持。总的一个心态很重要。多看看喜欢的人物的传记,你总能从他们身上学到很多。
昨天关注的截拳道,道理是相通的。要直接,要自然,如果要很费劲地去做一件事,那这件事这个世界上肯定有人可以做得比你更好。
把一件事情做到很自然。――这个作为一个目标来说,很不错。再细一点。就是要很放松地很好地做到了要做的事情。
Note 2:
今天在调弦的时候把弦崩断了。很旧的弦了。也该断了换一根了。
现在的感觉跟以前完全不一样。大四的时候买到第一把吉他,都不敢去动它。每次调弦都是小心翼翼,每次调的角度都不超过10度的,生怕把弦弄断了。越是想把一件事情做好,却越是不敢放开做。(因为断了弦以后,我不知道该怎么办。)
其实,吉他弦本身就是用来弹断、崩断的。弹断几次后,换几次就熟了。
操作系统也一样。记得毕业后游荡的两年,自己想要来钻研下内核试试的。但是总是小心翼翼,不敢动手改。深怕出错。一点小问题,就觉得错了很多,无法继续。
其实,开始写程序总是会错的嘛,错几次,改几次――也就熟了。
要勇于去失败。敢于犯错。不要怕。
开始总是会有一些做不好的地方,改掉,就进步了。
发现问题是解决问题的第一步,发现问题的另一种说法就是说你要不停地去犯错。
Note 3:
韩寒说:"谁不辛苦?我想我至少是在从事创造性的工作,我就很满足了。"
李安说他工作时候是最有兴味,最有幽默感,最聚精会神的时候。

武术的art
life is short, art is long
art会长久的原因是在于它把握住了真
能看到,但不是被教会,而是自己悟到的称为art。而且,当你看到art的时候,你马上就发现这是art。
art是真和美的,求真到一定程度就成了美
英文把武术翻成martial art,战的艺术。而中文拆字是拆成"止"战的艺术。战是为了不战。后者更厉害。因为这是哲学的否定之否定,是动态的。
剑道
首先抛开国家的概念,art没有国界。日本的剑道哲学shuhari概括得很精辟:守破离
A rough translation of the three stages:
- Shu (守:しゅ, Shu? "protect", "obey") ― traditional wisdom ― learning fundamentals, techniques, heuristics, proverbs
- Ha (破:は, Ha? "detach", "digress") ― breaking with tradition ― finding exceptions to traditional wisdom, reflecting on their truth, finding new ways, techniques, and proverbs
- Ri (�:り, Ri? "leave", "separate") ― transcendence ― there are no techniques or proverbs, all moves are natural
Shu Ha Ri can be considered as concentric circles, with Shu within Ha, and both Shu and Ha within Ri. The fundamental techniques and knowledge do not change.[1]
During the Shu phase the student should loyally follow the instruction of a single teacher; the student is not yet ready to explore and compare different paths.[2]
截拳道离的境界,就到了截拳道。把截拳道放在这里不是为了和剑道比较。当有了两个事物的时候,人们往往会习惯性地去比较。其实,没有这么简单,你可以通过剑道达到截拳道的境界,也可以通过别的方式。但在你还没有学到本质的时候,又必须有一种实体的方式去学到(现象和本质的关系)。截拳道的离的境界:是"无招胜有招",是"从心所欲不逾矩"。
I have not invented a "new style," composite, modified or otherwise that is set within distinct form as apart from "this" method or "that" method. On the contrary, I hope to free my followers from clinging to styles, patterns, or molds. Remember that Jeet Kune Do is merely a name used, a mirror in which to see "ourselves". . . Jeet Kune Do is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that. There is no mystery about my style. My movements are simple, direct and non-classical. The extraordinary part of it lies in its simplicity. Every movement in Jeet Kune-Do is being so of itself. There is nothing artificial about it. I always believe that the easy way is the right way. Jeet Kune-Do is simply the direct expression of one's feelings with the minimum of movements and energy. The closer to the true way of Kung Fu, the less wastage of expression there is. Finally, a Jeet Kune Do man who says Jeet Kune Do is exclusively Jeet Kune Do is simply not with it. He is still hung up on his self-closing resistance, in this case anchored down to reactionary pattern, and naturally is still bound by another modified pattern and can move within its limits. He has not digested the simple fact that truth exists outside all molds; pattern and awareness is never exclusive. Again let me remind you Jeet Kune Do is just a name used, a boat to get one across, and once across it is to be discarded and not to be carried on one's back.

What's News
Time上面今天头条新闻:Bush's Last Days: The Lamest Duck
By mid-November, with the financial crisis growing worse by the day, it had become obvious that one President was no longer enough (at least not the President we had).

但是还是要坚持记。
重要的意义是mark
mark your footprints, so others may follow
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time ;
-- Longfellow
有时候自己看看也挺好的。
看看这段时间都干了什么。
不用多,一句两句就好。

欠揍
上个礼拜,哥们甲说,我现在欠骂,于是我就花了2个小时时间好好骂了他一顿,于是他很满足地去睡觉了。
今天,另一个哥们乙又MSN说,我现在就是欠揍,不被揍一顿不知道第二天怎么过,于是我也花了半个小时骂了他一顿,最后下的时候送他一句"揍一顿,走吧,舒坦了",于是他很满足地下线了。
咋了,都迷茫了?
看来三十岁左右压力确实大。

Reading Today: Advice for A Young Investigator (cont.)
People with this type of failure are characterized by noble
and winning traits. They study a great deal, but love personal
activities as well. They worship action and have mastered
the techniques needed for their research. They are
alled with sincere patriotism and long for the personal and
national fame that comes with admirable conquests.
Yet their eagerness is rendered sterile by a fatal oaw. While
they are conarmed gradualists in theory, they turn out to
rely on luck in practice. As if believing in miracles, they want
to start their careers with an extraordinary achievement.
Perhaps they recall that Hertz, Mayer, Schwann, Roentgen,
and Curie began their scientiac careers with a great discovery,
and aspire to jump from foot soldier to general in their
arst battle. They end up spending their lives planning and
plotting, constructing and correcting, always submerged in
feverish activity, always revising, hatching the great embryonic
work—the outstanding, sweeping contribution. And, as
the years go, by expectation fades, rivals whisper, and
friends stretch their imaginations to justify the great man's
silence. Meanwhile, important monographs are raining
down abroad on the subjects they have so painstakingly
explored, fondled, and worn to a thread. And alas, these
monographs rob from our ambitious investigator the
cherished goal of priority, forcing him to change course.
Without losing faith, the megalomaniac takes on another
problem, and when he has just about anished the imposing
new monument, rivals with scientiac contributions extending
to the anest detail elicit bitterness again. Finally, he
reaches old age amid the indulgent silence of his pupils and
ironic smiles of the wise.
All of this happens because when they started out these
men did not follow with humility and modesty a law of
nature that is the essence of good sense: Tackle small problems
arst, so that if success smiles and strength increases
one may then undertake the great feats of investigation. This
cautious approach may not always lead to fame, but at least
it will earn for us the esteem of the learned and the respect
and consideration of our colleagues.
The dreamers who are reminiscent of the conversationalists
of old might be seen as a variety of megalomaniac. They
are easily distinguished by their effervescence and by a
profusion of ideas and plans of attack. Their optimistic eyes
see everything through rose-colored glasses. They are
conadent that, once accepted, fruits of their initiative will
open broad horizons in science, and yield invaluable practical
results as well. There is only one minor drawback,
which is deplorable—none of their undertakings are ever
completed. All come to an untimely end, sometimes through
lack of resources, and sometimes through lack of a proper
environment, but usually because there were not enough
able assistants to carry out the great work, or because certain
organizations or governments were not sufaciently civilized
and enlightened to encourage and fund it.
The truth is that dreamers do not work hard enough; they
lack perseverance. As Gracián has so aptly pointed out in
his Oráculo Manual: "Some people spend all at the start and
finish nothing; they invent but do not progress; everything
stops short of completion…The discerning should kill the
prey, not spend all of his energy provoking it."

Reading Today: Advice for A Young Investigator
In short, consider problems on their own merits when
attacking them. Avoid deviating to secondary concerns that
distract attention and weaken analytical powers.

札记
文字的东西是死的,人是活的。比如:如果只看郎咸平的新闻,对他的演讲不会有认同,甚至反感,因为他讲的都是痛处;只有看他的视频,你才知道他是一个苦口婆心、真心实意的经济学家。
你可以从文字上学到知识,但是只能从人那里学到技巧。
最近听sangb说Berkeley、Stanford放出课堂视频,真是一件high的事情。(以前看到MIT的课件已经很high了)
aha!记。
