短信拜年昨天又收到一些拜年短信，有个好玩的：
毛主席说：
“节日问候不是资产阶级的专利，
我们无产阶级也要问候，就是问候晚一点也不怕，无非拱拱手说些吉利话嘛，
红包那些东西腐朽得很，消磨意志（毛选第四卷134页）。”
他老人家真英明，我和他想的一样，春节到来之际，我仅以短信向您拜年！祝新春快乐万事如意！ 拜年啦! 拜年啦!昨天是除夕，晚上出门的时候，已经是爆竹鞭炮不绝于耳，穿街走巷犹如在枪战片里一般的架势了。
拜年的短信更是接踵而至，现摘录些许如下：
一丝真诚，胜过千两黄金；一丝温暖，能抵万里寒霜；一声问候，送来温馨甜蜜；一条短信，送去我万般心意！
幸福是有猪一样的胃口，猪一样的睡眠，猪一样的体魄，猪一样的心宽，猪一样的有人爱，猪一样的开心！
新年快乐！（此短信虽仅有短短四个字，却深刻地表达了发信人的祝福与情感，可谓言简意赅，短小精悍，再加上以感叹号收尾，意境深远，有浑然天成之感，实乃短信中之极品，并且在新年还未到的情况下发，更体现了发信人朴实无华的品质、艰苦奋斗的作风、团结友爱的精神和超前的思维方式！）
猪年到了，我怕我的祝福没有捍马的力度，奔驰的速度，宝马的气度，没法挤上短信的告诉公路！
只有让猪儿驮着祝福提前上路！问一声过年好！
脑袋摇摇，大路条条；耳朵扇扇，阳光灿灿；屁股拱拱，幸福统统；
尾巴翘翘，开心笑笑；金猪哼哼，脚步铿铿；烟花晃晃，钟声朗朗！祝猪年快乐！
小猪哼哼叫，恭祝鸿运到；小猪撒欢跑，恭祝身体好；小猪睡得香，出门贵人帮；小猪鼻子长，万事都吉祥！
送你一朵吉祥花，年年健康有钱花；送你一杯吉祥酒，温馨甜蜜到永久；
送你一个吉祥月，天天出门有喜悦；送你一道吉祥图，象征生活好幸福！
在此恭祝各位猪年吉祥，诸事顺意！！！ 友人的婚讯友人来EMAIL说她终于还是在去年11月11日结婚了，
安家在Birmingham。
11月11日，在一个本来叫做孤单的日子里，两个有情人终成了眷属，
谁说不是一件最幸福的事情呢？
从此，这个孤单的日子对他们来说也成了一个甜蜜的日子。
祝福他们！！！

Slow Down Culture上礼拜收到的这一篇文字，是发到我公司的EMAIL信箱的，匆匆瞥了一眼，跟日常工作无关，便把它搁在一边，忙我认为该忙的事去了，因为时间永远来不及啊！
晚些时候清理EMAIL，看了几句，觉得有点意思，看了五节之后，心想这东西怎么这么长啊，自己可真不该花太多时间在这种无聊事情上的；
又一转念，自己一直赶着时间匆忙度日，没有气定神闲的气质，既然人家在讲Slow Down，我该学着点才是，遂继续，
而最后一节简直是让人哑然失笑的——你们千万不要直接跳着去看啊！
因为是讲Slow Down Culture，我在这里就不总结要点了，而是把全篇文字放在下面与大家共勉。

It’s been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It’s a rule.
Globalize processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to posses a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.
Said in another words:
1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo, a state in Brazil. 2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants. 3. Stockholm, has 500,000 people. 4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux are some of its renowned companies. Volvo supplies the NASA. The first time I was in Sweden, one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn't say anything, either the second or third. One morning I asked, "Do you have a fixed parking space? I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot." To which he replied, "Since we're here early we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a place closer to the door. Don't you think?" Imagine my face.
Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe name Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing. Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.
Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and "craziness" generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of "having in quantity" (life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the "quality of being". French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity been driven up by 20%. This slow attitude has brought forth the US's attention, pupils of the fast and the "do it now!".
This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress. It means reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time. Taking the "now", present and concrete, versus the "global", undefined and anonymous. It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity of living.
It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do. It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence of spirit.
In the movie, Scent of a Woman, there's a scene where Al Pacino asks a girl to dance and she replies, "I can't, my boyfriend will be here any minute now". To which Al responds, "A life is lived in an instant". Then they dance to a tango.
Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment. As John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".
Congratulations for reading till the end of this message. There are many who will have stopped in the middle so as not to waste time in this globalized world. 这个冬天不太冷江南的冬天在我实在难熬，温度听着不低，然而硬是可以凛冽地刺骨，
一下雨，那感觉就更难受了，
有阳光的时候，太阳多半也只是笼了一层雾般晃一晃罢了，
整个人整整一季都无法舒展的样子。
法国的冬天，或者确切地说，
是我生活过的法国城市的冬天则不然，
常常在冬日中午的暖阳里走着的时候，觉得热得不行，然而还是舒服。
而今年的这个冬天，即便在江南也没让我觉得有多冷。
约了几位友人今天一早去KTV唱歌了，小唱四个钟头，然后一起去吃饭，是一家港式汤馆，
记忆里已经很久没有去过有如此明亮天然采光的地方吃饭了，而这一家的光亮简直让人惊艳，
冬日的暖阳从窗外照进来，明亮地温暖你。
这个冬天不太冷，我喜欢，然而这全球气候变暖的趋势又让人忧心，希望不是杞人忧天才好。
©Hui.2007 光阴不出差的周末，常常懒得出门，睡到自然醒，碰巧天气晴好的时候，便觉得对不住了光阴。
今天这个周六终于出了趟门，却又对不住了该处理未处理的事情，顾此失彼。
也许是时候该好好学学slow down culture了。
©Hui.2007 矛盾才意识到已经两个月没有写下只字片语了，不是忘了，也不是没回来过，不过每每欲语还休，觉得提不起来兴致；
我越来越佩服那些能每天坚持写博的人了，不管忙人闲人，都了不起。
我常常是在极度的忙乱中挂念着写博这件事，也常常能够成功地忙里偷闲一下，成就感十足；
相对闲暇的时光于我是没什么动力的。
这过去的两个月也还是又走了一些地方，强度相对减弱，对我的身体大概是件好事，然而我毕竟还是不喜欢太平淡的生活。
我想要的生活，好象永远都不是现在？然而我们又只能活在现在，此刻。
今天下午，以前在法国读书时的同学终于把她的博址给了我，
我们可以聊很多，然而内心深处也还总有一些彼此无法碰触的东西，借由博敞开了，
而我还相对封闭着，想想真是很矛盾的，既不想让人窥视，却又开博；
既开博，又不愿开启那道门。
©Hui.2007 担心我有了一些这样那样的怪病：
周五的晚上不愿睡去，
醒着的时候不停地吃东西，
灯得大亮着，音乐得大开着，电视亦然，
而我，在如此嘈杂中方可澹定自若地在电脑上写着有一搭没一搭的博；
受不了安静，那样的时候听到的竟满是声音，去年春天开始直到年底每一次的备考也都是这样过来的。
这两天看到电视里谈厌食暴食问题，担心地不得了以为自己得了暴食症，
在GOOGLE上搜了几个钟头，终于确定自己还没到暴食的程度，
然而还是不免担心，毕竟这种状况从在法国生活的时候就开始了，现在并且更加剧了。
©Hui.2007 Life for Rent这支歌，呵，唱出多少人的心聲。
伤感的一天 - 2006/12/24真是伤感的一天。
发现了一些以为不再存在的东西：
原来那副画，我所喜欢的那副几米的画，
双击之后竟是会弹出另一个画面来的，那里竟藏着那些我以为终于逝去的种种种种；
而以往的每一次经过，我都不曾想要去敲一敲那扇门那个窗。
只是，这样的纪念是何等悲哀的事情。
我几近没有思想，大大地落了泪，因为今晚这个惊人的发现。
如果，如果有如果，会怎样？
©Hui.2006Suicide is Painless听过这支歌没？
Suicide is Painless
因为我们活着，
并且拥有随时可以了断自己的权利。
