Ass Consultant?

Just the other day, I was searching LinkedIn for an old contact and guess what I found among the listing?

Some people need to be more vigilant about their profile headline, especially if they happen to work in a hospital. Probably as bad as an ANALyst.

以后别骂人是婊子的孩子

From the book Sperm Wars: The Science of Sex by Robin Baker:

"The success of prostitution as a reproductive strategy means that most of us will contain the genes of a prostitute among our ancestors. On average, we should each need to go back through our family tree no further than the 1820s (seven generations) before finding an ancestor who was born to a prostitute (assuming, conservatively, that only 1 per cent of the population is conceived by overt prostitutes.)"

Just For Today

10 inspiring ways to eliminate most of your worries, written over a hundred years ago by Sibyl F. Partridge and were printed in a very old edition of Dale Carnegie’s “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.”

1. Just for today I will be happy. This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that "most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.


2. Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, my business, and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.


3. Just for today I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.


4. Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.


5. Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don't want to do, as William James suggests, just for exercise.


6. Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticise not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to regulate nor improve anyone.


7. Just for today I will try to live through this day only, not to tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do things for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep them up for a lifetime.


8. Just for today I will have a programme. I will write down what I expect to do every hour. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate two pests, hurry and indecision.


9. Just for today I will have a quiet half-hour all by myself and relax. In this half-hour sometimes I will think of God, so as to get a little more perspective into my life.


10. Just for today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love, and to believe that those I love, love me.

Oxymoron

The Chinese translation of the term "self-service" appears to be an oxymoron in some cases: 如果是自助，哪来的服务？（看下图）

Create your own digital camera

In this age of commoditization, it's hard to make your product stand out. That's why the venerable camera company Leica has come up with a unique scheme for customers to customize their own digital camera in just nine steps.

The "Leica à la carte" system essentially allows you to choose a Leica MP or M7 model and select the details from the modular component system that match your requirements in terms of style, functionality and practicality. Options include the lens cap colour, leather trim, viewfinder frame-lines, and controls. With more than 4,000 possible combinations (plus personalized engraving), your digital camera can truly be yours.

Best of all, the Leica configurator lets you try out your ideas before turning them into reality.

Who's listening?

Married life is full of excitement and frustration:

In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens.
In the second year of marriage, the woman speaks and the man listens.
In the third year of marriage, both of them speak and the neighbours listen.
