Around the World in 80 Days

Watched the musical recently in Hong Kong and think of myself, being Phileas Fogg.
I have the luck of having the best travel partner, even better then Passepartout.

Over the last 2.5 years joining my present company, I been constantly on the road, although it is more easily to travel around the world then centuries ago, but we are still human being and still able to feel tired.

Now, my heart felt the tiredness, my body sores, guess it's time for me to go and have a break.

I am writing this post in the airport of Taipei after a week's trip to Manila and Taipei and I think this is my final tour of duty for my present employer.

However, I think I shall summarise my present feelings using General MacArthur's famous quote when he leave the Philippines: "I came through and I shall return."

See Ya!!!

Thanks Larry!!

Our Boss in Redwood Shores, merge be your name, your empire grow, your will be done, in Asia as in the US. Give us today our daily meal. Forget about our existence, as we forgive those who acquired us in Asia. Do not bring us to the sale and deliver us from being sack.

Amen.

Hail Safra, full of guts, Larry is with thee; blessed art thou among all CFOs, and blessed is the highest paid CFO in the world. Dear Safra, queen Midas , leave us alone, now and at the hour of my last days.

Amen.

My Fellow Colleagues, even I left, please still remember to say a prayer for Larry and Safra after you sign your corporate plastic. Au revoir!

一切有為法，如夢幻泡影，如露亦如電，應作如是觀

一切有為法，如夢幻泡影，如露亦如電，應作如是觀。《金鋼經》
這是佛教中非常有名的四句偈，也是非常強而有力的警句。

This is a classic Buddha teaching, yet, do you know what it really means?

I have such luck and honour to have a chance to read 5 books by a Taiwanese writer, 吳九箴, who have written a series of books about teachings of Buddha in a new dimension and new angle.

Alot of us always thing Buddhism is a teaching, which taught us to hide in the mountains, meditating, praying and fasting for the whole day and even the whole of your life.

However, in Mr Wu's book, he bring new dimensions, which ask us to go into the 'world' enjoy what is around you, love and hate, sweetness and bitterness, fame, fortune and poor, as even Siddhārtha Gautama had gone through all these things before he understand that there is a need to find out the ultimate truth and the true meanings of life, eventually become a Buddha.

I really wish some more people could have such chance to read the book from Mr Wu and eventually understand (悟) what is the true meanings of life.

You and I are Buddha in nature, we need to find our own way (not follow the same path of anyone, even Siddhārtha's), as everyone have their own path of understanding (悟道). My fellow Buddhas, please work hard and work with your heart.

Here is Mr Wu's Blog, wish that could help you on your path as well:-

I am not a Schemer

The following is what Joker told Harvey Dent in the latest Batman Movie, incidentally, I am Harvey, seems all these words are being spoken to me:-

"Do I really look like a man with a plan, Harvey? I don't have a plan. The mob has plans, the cops have plans. you know what I am, Harvey? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught one. I just DO things. I'm a wrench in the gears. I HATE plans. Yours, theirs, every one's. Maroni has plans, Gordon has plans. Schemers trying to control their worlds. I am not a schemer. I show schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So when I say that what happened to you and your girlfriend wasn't personal, you know I'M telling the truth"*Gives Dent Gun*"It's a schemer who put you where you are. You were a schemer. You had plans. Look where it got you. I just did what I do best-I took your plan and turned it on itself. Look what I have done to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple bullets. Nobody panics when the expected people got killed. Nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plans are horrifying. If I tell the press that tomorrow a gangbanger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will get blown up, nobody panics. But when I say one little old mayor will die, everyone loses their minds!! Introduce a little anarchy, you upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I AM AN AGENT OF CHAOS. And you know the thing about chaos, Harvey. It's fair"

People always have planning of everything, some even said that they have planning for their lives, but is all planning work out the way it should be or the way you plan?

You can't always get what you want, even our old friend Rolling Stones told you so. Christian believe, so call God will arrange the best for you. Others believe it is Kama, anyway, life is not perfect, that's why you need to embrace the imperfect life.

I think the best way to counter this ever changing life is "ANARCHY", liberate yourself!!!
