錢多事少離家近、睡覺睡到自然醒、位高權重責任輕；
老闆說話不用聽、五年就領退休金、領錢領到手抽筋；
旅遊出國休假勤、股票分紅拼命領、出差作事別人請；
金融風暴不擔心、月月出國去散心、雙Ｂ跑車任我行；
金卡銀卡刷不停、吃喝玩樂錢照領、全家出遊有獎金；
回來聊天談事情、經理來了不用停、只說謝謝你關心；
下班走人你最行、上班在家吃點心、遲到說是出外勤；
說了只有鬼相信、哪有這等好事情、原來作夢還沒醒；
醒來只有酒一瓶、藉酒澆愁撫心情、沒有付出沒報應！

人生易老天難老，歲歲重陽，今又重陽，戰地黃花分外香。

一年一度秋風勁，不似春光，勝似春光，寥廓江天萬里霜。

從陳啟禮和易先生看兩岸政治黑白恩仇糾葛
台灣“竹聯幫”的“精神領袖”陳啟禮4日晚間在香港病故。香港明報今日刊發評論說，陳啟禮在港病逝之日，正是《色，戒》在台熱映之時，兩宗不相干的事情，從某個歷史側面看，卻都跟政治黑白和愛恨恩仇有著極復雜的瓜葛糾纏。替21世紀的海岸兩岸喚回了非常濃厚的“歷史意識”。

中新網轉載文章摘錄如下︰
陳啟禮在港病逝之日，正是《色，戒》在台熱映之時，兩宗不相干的事情，從某個歷史側面看，卻都跟政治黑白和愛恨恩仇有著極復雜的瓜葛糾纏。特務，黑幫，政客；家國，酷刑，暗殺，現實悲劇與虛構情節穿插滲透，新聞傳媒與民間輿論助瀾炒作，像隔世招魂般，替21世紀的海岸兩岸喚回了非常濃厚的 “歷史意識”。

有“鴨霸子”外號的陳啟禮于1984年從台灣赴美槍殺作家江南，對于此事，台港傳媒回顧甚多，但鮮有人提及的是，鴨霸子此舉不僅替自己和在台兄弟惹出了大麻煩，其實亦連累了花旗國的其他華人社團，因為FBI于“江南案”後覺得沒面子，立刻啟動訂立于1970年代的“反黑法”（Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations，通稱 RICO）機制，嚴打華人黑幫，聯邦調查局、國稅局、移民局、緝毒局、海關等部門連手出擊，大洗太平地，把各州各市的唐人街殺個雞犬不寧。別的不說，僅是 1985年即把20多名鬼影幫分子送上法庭兼極速判刑，刑期最高者為30年。

江南之死，是因為撰寫了《蔣經國傳》，台灣法院認定黑幫老大是直接凶手、情報局長是幕後主謀，但陳啟禮的兄弟“白狼”張安樂曾在美國公布陳啟禮的錄音自白，直指蔣經國的二子蔣孝武才是下令殺人的“大老板”。陳啟禮的自白英譯詳載于美國名記者David Kaplan的《Fire of the Dragon ︰ Politics, Murder, and the Kuomintang》書內，該書亦指出，張安樂于爆料後接到陳父從台灣打來的長途電話，氣急敗壞地說，“最高當局”表示如果竹聯幫再把暗殺矛頭指向“蔣太子”，陳啟禮別希望有命踏出牢房，竹聯幫因此立轉低調；而同時，台灣官方在香港《九十年代》月刊上公布所謂“江南七封信”，指江南為美台之間的“雙面間諜”，對不起“中華民國”，對不起被共產黨打跑到台灣的國民黨，意欲打擊死者名聲，讓所有人相信他是“人人得可誅”之“亂臣賊子”。國民黨這幾招，耍得狠，耍得髒，但確收一時之效，至少，保住了蔣太子。

就中國政治而言，香港算是“邊緣”，但又一直發揮著極微妙的關鍵力量。孫中山不是學醫于此、也自謂在香港開展了他的革命思想嗎？康有為、梁啟超不也是在香港深切領悟到世界之大、西洋之奇嗎？這是正面的啟蒙。至于“負面”，汪精衛在成立偽政府前的媚日“艷電”不也是在香港發表嗎？即連最近備受討論的蔣介石私房日記，不是顯示這個道貌岸然的大獨裁者，來到香港，最喜歡做的其中一件事原來是嫖妓尋歡嗎？

連台灣過氣教父陳啟禮也在香港病死，但他絕非在香港逝死的第一個中國黑幫大哥大。杜月笙就是在香港斷氣的，他于1949年移居此，晚年多病，病痛中仍然像昔日一樣迷听命相之學，一些相士投其所喜，故意說些“杜公尚有10年大運可行”之言，即可從他手里又騙走不少鈔票打賞。當時有一位外號“趙神仙”的旅美華僑，來港行逛，被朋友找去替杜月笙佔算吉凶，他沒有當面對杜月笙說些什麼，然而事後寫信告訴朋友，他看見了杜月笙的靈魂飛出體外，深信一代大佬命不久矣，應難度過1951年的陰歷七月十五日。杜月笙去世之日，是陽歷8月16日，亦即陰歷七月十四日，下午4時50分，遺願之一是“把我帶回上海，落葬在高橋，我出生的地方”。就像陳啟禮死了仍要歸葬台灣，香港雖好，對許許多多人來說，卻終究只是暫留之所。

You've got to find what you love

2007-10-06T08:50:00.000-04:00

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.

《色.戒》電影劇情簡介

2007-10-03T10:19:00.000-04:00

淪陷時期的上海，四位太太大白天開著強光燈打麻將，洗牌時一只只鑽戒光芒四射。女主人易太太的丈夫是汪偽情報機關首腦；三個女客中，有兩人的丈夫也在汪偽政府任職。最年輕的“麥太太”王佳芝名義上是易太太的幹女兒，惟獨她沒戴鑽戒，但是她圖得亮汪汪的薄嘴唇嬌紅欲滴，一張秀麗的六角臉經得起無情的當頭照射，酷烈的光與影更託出她的“胸前丘壑”。她跟易太太是兩年前在香港認識的，香港陷落後，麥先生的生意停瞭，王佳芝來上海跑單幫，被易太太留住在她家。

身材矮小的易先生站在他太太背後看牌，覷一個空子嚮佳芝發出一個暗號。佳芝即推說有事，向眾人告辭。她乘易家的汽車出去，吩咐司機開到一家咖啡館，打發司機回去。然後她進咖啡館打個電話，出來之後又雇三輪車到凱司令咖啡館停下，進去等人。

她等的是易先生。佳芝本是嶺南大學的學生。廣州淪陷前，嶺大搬到香港。汪精衛一行人抵達香港後，她和幾個男女同學懷著流亡學生的心情，有誌報國，遂自發組織起來做業余特工，定下一條美人計：由一個女生去接近易太太，然後誘惑汪精衛身邊的紅人易先生，設法把他引出來再除掉他。充當香餌的，自然非學校劇團的當家花旦王佳芝莫屬。可惜魚兒沒有吞鉤，計劃沒有成功。

珍珠港事變後，海路復通，這群學生轉學到上海，與一個國民黨特工搭上瞭綫。那位特工極力鼓勵他們繼續進行，於是王佳芝與老易又結上關係。今天正是設好瞭圈套，要在約定地點刺殺易先生。佳芝等瞭半天，纔見一輛木炭汽車開來。一望而知是他的車。她出去，上車。易先生要司機開到福開森路去幽會，佳芝說附近有家店，她想趁便去修一個耳環。易先生自然不能不奉陪。車於是折回，從義利餅幹行過街到平安戲院。對面就是那家凱司令咖啡館。

走進珠寶店，講定修配耳環一事之後，易先生主動提出要履行諾言，給佳芝買個鑽戒做紀念。印度老闆在店堂後身，兩層樓之間的一個閣樓上接待他們，挑出一個六剋拉的粉紅鑽戒讓佳芝試戴。“光頭極足，亮閃閃的，異星一樣，紅得有種神祕感”。佳芝知道，刺客已埋伏好瞭。在“緊張得拉長到永恆的這一剎那間”，她自問是不是有點愛上老易瞭。看到他臉上一種溫柔憐惜的神氣，她突然想：“這個人真是愛我的。”然而太晚瞭。她低聲說：“快走”。他立刻明白，跳下樓梯，奪門而出。汽車吱的一聲尖叫。砰！車門聲還是槍聲？車開走瞭。

易先生回來瞭，即命令封鎖，把抓到的人，包括王佳芝，統統槍斃。他又站在他太太背後看牌，心裡想著王佳芝。“他覺得她的影子會永遠依傍他，安慰他。雖然她恨他，她最後對他的感情強烈到是什麼情感都不相干瞭，只有感情。他們是原始的獵人與獵物的關係，虎與倀的關係，最終極的佔有。她這纔生是他的人，死是他的鬼。”

舊上海美麗間諜哀婉傳奇

2007-09-30T20:16:00.000-04:00

女大學生間諜鄭蘋如與漢奸丁默村驚心動魄的“諜對諜”故事，由汪政權高官金雄白在回憶錄中最先公諸於世。當年行刺失敗後，漢奸妻子們齊聲要求殺掉“妖精”，鄭纔最終玉殞。鄭蘋如母親是日本人，多年後在颱去世穫蔣介石頒“教忠有方”匾額。

抗戰時代汪偽政府統治下的上海十里洋場，發生瞭一樁驚心動魄的“諜對諜”事件。美貌的國民黨中統女特務鄭蘋如謀刺汪偽特工頭子丁默村未遂而壯烈犧牲。作家張愛玲根據這段真實事蹟創作瞭《色，戒》，不過將男女主角改名換姓，並把內容予以故事化和小說化。李安改編自張著的電影《色，戒》使鄭蘋如（王佳芝）和丁默村（易先生）重現人世，同時亦引發瞭華人社會對汪精衛政權的好奇與興趣。

有些文學史家說，張愛玲的《色，戒》題材來自於她的前夫鬍蘭成，因鬍曾是汪精衛的文膽，又在汪政權做過行政院法制局長和《中華日報》總主筆，應熟悉鄭蘋如事件，但張愛玲本人從未透露她的故事來源。實際上，最早把鄭蘋如謀刺丁默村事件公諸於世的是五、六十年代旅居香港的汪政權老人金雄白。金氏以硃子家筆名在《春鞦》雜誌上連載《汪政權的開場與收場》，頗受海內外的重視。後來《汪政權的開場與收場》結集六冊出書，風行一時，日本亦將此書譯成日文，改名《同生共死之實體——汪兆銘之悲劇》。《汪政權的開場與收場》已被公認為有關汪政權的一部經典之作，此書是由香港吳興記書報社印行，現已絕版，數年前台灣曾出現重印本。

金雄白（一九零四——一九八五）為江蘇青浦（今屬上海）人，是個資深媒體人，一九三零年即任南京《中央日報》採訪主任，亦當過律師。一九三九年投靠汪政權後，歷任法制、財經方面多项職務，并曾任《中報》總編輯。一九四五年抗戰勝利後以漢奸罪名被捕入獄，一九四八年獲釋，翌年移居香港，此後卜居香港與日本，一九七三年曾創辦《港九日報》，一九八五年一月五日病逝日本，除了《汪政權的開場與收場》，另著有《記者生涯五十年》（上下冊）、《黃浦江的濁浪》、《亂世文章》（五冊）、《女特務川島芳子》及《春江花月痕》等。

七十六號特工總部

金雄白說：“汪政權的一幕，是時代的悲劇。而重慶與汪方的特工戰，非但是悲劇中之悲劇，卻又是悲劇中的滑稽劇。”三十年代末，汪政權在上海極司斐爾路七十六號成立特工總部，從此，“七十六號”成為人人聞之色變的殺人魔窟。主持七十六號的兩個高級特工李士群（一九零七年生）和丁默村（一九零三年生）早年曾是共產黨，叛黨後加入國民黨，再投靠汪政權。李士群組建汪政權特工機關時，邀丁默村參加，丁大李四歲，特工經驗豐富，但丁、李兩人權鬥不已。

一九三七年七月號（一百三十期）上海《良友》週報封麵人物是個艷光照人但名不見經傳的“鄭女士”，不僅讀者不知鄭女士為何許人，即連編輯亦不清楚。雜誌出版一個多月後，國民黨上海市黨部常務委員、調查統計室負責人陳寶驊（陳果夫、陳立夫的遠房姪兒），在一次社交聚會上結識瞭正就讀上海法政學院的鄭蘋如。陳寶驊想盡辦法吸收鄭女為國民黨中統（另一特工系統為軍統）特務，鄭女終於答應，成為中統在敵偽地區最有價值的女特務。

鄭蘋如當時還不滿二十歲（一九一八年生），她是浙江蘭溪人。父親鄭鉞，留學日本法政大學，老同盟會員，是於右任的好友；鄭鉞留日時與日本女子木村花子（後取中國名字鄭華君）結婚，育有三女二子，鄭蘋如排行老二，上有一姊，下有兩弟一妹。鄭鉞曾執教復旦大學，做過律師，歷任江蘇、山西和福建等地高等法院檢察官，一九三八年兼任最高法院上海特區法庭檢察官。

鄭家於一九三五年年初搬進上海呂班路萬宜坊八十八號（萬宜坊即今重慶南路二零五弄），著名出版家鄒韜奮亦住於此弄。鄭蘋如加入中統後，最早的任務是利用其流利日語以及日本關係搜集高層情報。鄭蘋如活躍而又能幹，她首先獲悉汪精衛即將投靠日本的情報。一九三八年八月，鄭女從日本首相近衛文磨的談判代表早水親重那裡聽到“汪氏將有異動”消息，立刻由她的直屬上司嵇希宗電告重慶；同年十二月再急電重慶，但重慶方面未予重視。直至十二月二十九日汪精衛出走河內，發表“艷電”，重慶纔意識到鄭蘋如的價值。

鄭蘋如工作積極，立功心切，她利用機會“勾引”正在上海的日相近衛的兒子近衛文隆，甚至動起綁架的念頭。近衛文隆曾在一九三八年年底“失蹤”四十八小時，日本特工軍警大為緊張，原來是被鄭蘋如藏起來。此次失蹤事件後，日本特工開始注意鄭女的活動。中統亦在此時指派鄭女與七十六號頭子丁默村週旋。

金雄白說：“在汪政權中，太多醇酒婦人之輩，而‘七十六號’的特工首領丁默村，尤其是一個色中餓鬼，他雖然支離病骨，弱不禁風，肺病已到了第三期，但壯陽藥仍然是他為縱欲而不離身的法寶，他當年與女伶童芷苓的繾綣，早成公開秘密，而鄭蘋如間諜案，更是遐邇宣傳。”丁默村曾任上海民光中學校長，而鄭蘋如曾就讀該校，鄭女即利用此“師生之誼”接近丁氏。一九三九年冬，中統急於剷除丁默村，下令鄭女早日動手。一日，鄭曾邀丁氏至她家小坐，中統特工準備動手，但座車駛至鄭宅門前，丁氏婉拒上樓，失去良機。

一九三九年十二月二十一日，丁默村在滬西朋友家吃飯，電邀鄭蘋如赴會。吃完飯，丁說要去虹口，晚上與週彿海和日本特務影佐禎昭有約。鄭女與丁同車，在車上鄭女突要求丁氏陪她去靜安寺路與戈登路（今江寧路）的西伯利亞皮貨店買一件皮大衣，算是送她的聖誕禮物。車到靜安寺路一一三五號西伯利亞皮貨店門口，丁陪鄭進去，鄭在挑大衣時，丁突將一疊鈔票扔在櫃檯上說：“你挑吧，我有事先走。”立即從另一道門衝出去，奔嚮座車。在街上等候的中統特工沒想到丁氏會這麼快出來，丁氏衝進防彈車內，特務匆忙中嚮座車開槍，惜為時已晚。鬍蘭成說，丁氏是在進店內時看到兩個形跡可疑的人，心裡起疑纔立即打退堂鼓。

但是丁默村在一九四六年受審時表示，他和鄭蘋如是在進店內時，中統特工即先開槍，他快速閃躲後逃回防彈車。特務繼續射擊座車，但他安然無恙。中統特工在皮貨店附近埋伏時，李士群的爪牙亦在旁伺機“助陣”，準備把丁幹掉。因中統上海區副區長張瑞京被李士群逮捕，泄露瞭中統謀刺丁默村的機密。

鄭蘋如膽大心不細，她打電話給丁氏表示“安慰”，丁氏髮狠話說：“你算計我，馬上來自首，否則殺你全家！”鄭女急忙解釋說她也被嚇壞瞭，完全不知道有敵人行凶。丁氏假裝相信，但已下決心抓她。皮貨店事件後第三天，汪偽特工總部第三行動大隊隊長林之江率二十多名爪牙直撲滬西舞廳逮捕鄭蘋如。一說鄭女驅車至七十六號找丁而被丁的親信林之江抓起來。

據說丁默村并未想殺掉鄭蘋如，而是一群汪偽高級特工的妻子紛紛跑到七十六號“瞧瞧”鄭蘋如長得什麼模樣後，一致要求殺掉這個“妖精”。這群悍妻包括丁氏妻子趙慧敏、李士群之妻葉吉卿和吳世寶之妻佘愛珍（佘愛珍後在日本與張愛玲前夫鬍蘭成結婚），後來連汪精衛的妻子陳璧君和週彿海之妻楊淑慧等一群“漢奸婆” 也都跑到七十六號去看落難的鄭蘋如。主張殺鄭最力的是丁妻趙慧敏。鄭女臨難不屈，林之江（後逃至香港）在獄中多次企圖污辱鄭女而未達目的。一九四零年二月一個黑夜，林之江把鄭女帶至滬西中山路旁荒地開了三鎗，鄭蘋如死時實歲纔二十二歲。

丁默村於一九四七年二月八日被軍法庭判處死刑，七月五日處決。趙慧敏戰後帶瞭一個裝滿金條的皮包去鄭家乞憐，遭鄭家峻拒。李士群一九四三年九月被日本憲兵毒死於蘇州。

鄭蘋如死後，其姊一九四二年病逝（所生女兒王蓓蓓後住台灣），其父一九四三年辭世。鄭女的未婚夫是國府空軍軍官王漢勳，一九四四年犧牲於桂林；大弟鄭海澄亦為國府空軍軍官，一九四四年死於重慶空戰；二弟鄭南陽是醫生，一直住在上海，上世紀八十年代初移民美國，二零零三年去世。鄭蘋如的母親鄭華君、妹妹鄭靜芝（天如）和妹婿舒鶴年（亦為空軍）一九四八年十二月遷居台灣。鄭母一九六六年八十歲去世時，蔣介石曾頒“教忠有方”輓楄；妹妹鄭靜芝一直擔任其父好友、國府監察院長於右任的秘書，後移民洛杉磯。

抗戰勝利後，文學家鄭振鐸曾在一九四五年十月六日出版的《週報》上以《一個女間諜》為題追悼鄭蘋如，他說：“為了祖國，她不止幾次出生入死，為了祖國，她壯烈的死去！比死在沙場上還要壯烈！”遺憾的是，今天知道鄭家一門忠烈和鄭蘋如捨身赴義事蹟的人太少了，太少了！

側記「色戒」

2007-09-30T20:15:00.000-04:00

側記「色戒」龍應台　(20070917)

電影的瞬間大眾魅力真的不是文學的慢火細燉可以比的。張愛玲的「色戒」是一篇比較少人知道的短篇；如果不知史實背景，小說本身的隱晦粗描筆法更讓一般的讀者難以入門。李安的電影，卻像一顆來勢洶洶的大火球從天而落，邊落還邊星火四濺，嗤嗤作響，效果是，人人都在談「色戒」，涼涼的小說也被人手人嘴磨蹭得熱了。
　　
小說裡的漢奸大壞蛋易先生，因為在小說裡被處理得不夠「壞」，當年「色戒」發表時還被評論家批判，覺得張愛玲是非不明、忠奸不分。當時讀了「域外人」對張愛玲的批評，我忍不住大笑。胡蘭成不早就說過張愛玲的人格特質了嗎？在「民國女子」裡，他這麼看二十三歲的她：「愛玲種種使我不習慣。她從來不悲天憫人，不同情誰，慈悲佈施她全無，她的世界裏是沒有一個誇張的，亦沒有一個委屈的。她非常自私，臨事心狠手辣。」又說，「愛玲對好人好東西非常苛刻，而對小人與普通的東西，亦不過是這點嚴格，她這真是平等。」

而且，張愛玲文學作品裡頭最讓人震撼、最深刻的部分，不正是她那極為特殊、極為罕見的「不悲天憫人」的酷眼。

如果張愛玲有一般人的「忠奸意識」，她大概也不會在二十三歲時，嫁給了赫赫有名的「漢奸文人」胡蘭成啊。

易先生在小說裡不夠「壞」，除了張愛玲本身的認知價值和性格，除了她和胡蘭成的極深刻、極纏綿的愛情之外，我看見一個很少被人提及的角度，那就是，小說和電影之外，民國史裡頭的「易先生」，其實也不見得是個多「壞」的「壞人」。

易先生的「原型」丁默邨，一九○三年出生，因為陳立夫的舉薦而做了調查統計局第三處的處長，第三處後來撤銷，他就加入了汪精衛的政府，歷任要職。中日戰爭結束前夕，他是「偽浙江省省長」。一九四七年五月一日，丁默邨被槍斃，罪名是「通謀敵國，圖謀反抗本國」，判決書裡列出好多罪狀，包括「主使戕害軍統局地下工作人員及前江蘇高二法院庭長郁華、與參加中統局工作之鄭蘋如……」

這樣的一個「漢奸」履歷，他的死刑不是理所當然嗎？不這麼簡單。

我在德國的雪夜裡翻讀南京市檔案館所保存成書的審訊漢奸筆錄、判決書、種種做為證據的信件、電報、便條等等，慢慢地看出一個故事的輪廓。塵封的史料所透露的真實人生如此曲折，幾乎有血肉模糊之感，其幽微傷痛諷刺殘酷完全不需要假借文學家之手。

在鄭蘋如因為刺殺丁默邨未遂而被祕密槍決之後一年，一九四一年，時任國民政府教育部長的陳立夫和丁默邨祕密取得了聯繫，對這位當年被他提拔過、如今為汪偽政權特務頭子的後輩「曉以大義」，指示他應該設法「脫離偽區」，如果不能「脫離偽區」，就當「伺機立功，協力抗戰」。陳立夫「策反」成功，往後的幾年，丁默?表面上是傀儡政府的交通部長、福利部長，私底下，他為戴笠的軍統局架設電台、供給情報，與周佛海合作企圖暗殺當時的特務首腦之一李士群，並且配合戴笠的指示不斷營救被捕的重慶地下工作人員。

這些被營救的情報人員，在審判庭上，也都具函作證，丁默邨和重慶政府的合作是毫無疑義的。而在日本戰敗以後，局勢混亂，重慶政府為了防止共產黨趁機坐大以及新軍閥崛起，又適時而有效地運用了丁默?這個棋子。他被國府任命為「浙江省軍委員」，這一回，「浙江」前面沒有「偽」字了。

我讀到戴笠給「默?吾兄」的手書，戴氏要求丁默?在混亂危險中「切實掌握所部，維持地方治安，嚴防奸匪擾亂，使中央部隊能安全接收。」而丁默邨也確實一一執行了重慶的指令。在中央部隊進入浙江之前，「奸匪」已經佔有浙西半片，是在丁默?進行「剿匪」之後，中央部隊才穩穩地接收了浙江。

夜半讀史，我揉揉眼睛，困惑不已。

那麼這丁默邨等於是國民政府招降成功的一名降將，這名降將不曾回到「漢軍」中來披麾上陣，但他留在「曹營」暗中接應，做蘋果裡的一條蟲，等於是國民政府植在敵營的間諜，其處境何等危險，其功勞何等重要。在戰爭中，隱藏的間諜所發揮的作用絕對不小於沙場浴血的戰士，不是嗎？

當重慶政府需要丁默邨的協助時，陳立夫和戴笠都曾對他提出保證：陳立夫應允丁可以「戴罪立功，應先有事實表現，然後代為轉呈委座，予以自首或自新」。戴笠則說得更明確：「弟可負責呈請委座予以保障也。」

好啦，那麼為什麼國民政府在勝利後就殺對它有功的「降將」和「間諜」呢？尤其在早已給予不殺的具體保證之後？問題出在「委座」──蔣介石嗎？

正在困惑時，陳立夫的回憶錄出版了。於是飛電請求朋友「火速寄《陳立夫回憶錄》來歐」。一週後書寄到，郵差從雪地裡走來，鬍子上還黏著白花花的細雪。我從他手中接過書，一把拆了包裝，幾乎就在那微微的飄雪中讀了起來。

我竟然找到了答案。《陳立夫回憶錄》第232頁（L1）：丁默邨本來可以不死的，但有一天他生病，在獄中保出去看醫生，從南京拘留所出來，順便遊覽玄武湖……這個消息被蔣委員長看到以後，蔣委員長很生氣的說：「生病怎還能遊玄武湖呢？應予槍斃！」

丁默邨就被槍斃了。只因為他從獄中出來，貪看一點湖上清風，被一小報記者認出來，寫上了報。

啊，我不禁掩卷嘆息。難怪丁默邨的死刑判決書讀起來那麼的強詞奪理，對丁默邨所提出來為自己生命做辯護的種種白紙黑字的有力證據完全漠視。原來，判他死刑的，根本不是一個真正的法院，也不是一部真正的法。

在那樣的時代裡，你對所謂「忠奸」難道不該留一點人性的空隙嗎，不管是易先生還是丁先生，是張愛玲還是胡蘭成？

如此濃烈的「色」，如此肅殺的「戒」

2007-09-30T20:12:00.001-04:00

2007-09-25 02:40／龍應台

「所有的尺寸都是真的，包括三輪車的牌照和牌照上面的號碼。」李安說。

我問的是，「色戒」裡老上海街景是如何拍出來的。他說，他的研究團隊下了很深的工夫，而上海製片廠也大手筆地重現了上海老街。

搶救一段灰飛煙滅的歷史「建築材料呢？」「也是真的。」我已經覺得不可思議了，但是再追一句：「可是，街上兩排法國梧桐是真的嗎？」

「一棵一棵種下去的。」李安說。

他提醒我，第二次再看時，注意看易先生辦公室裡那張桌子。民國時代的桌子，他找了很久，因為大陸已經沒有這樣的東西。桌上所有的文具，包括一只杯子，都費了很大的工夫尋找。

「你有沒有注意到易先生辦公桌後側有一個很大的雕像？」

啊？沒有。

「是鍾馗。搞特務的都會放個鍾馗在辦公室裡。」

李安並非只是在忠實於張愛玲的原著，他是在設法忠實於一段灰飛煙滅的歷史。易先生進出的門禁森嚴的後巷，還真的就是當年七十六號特務頭子之一李士群的住宅後巷。

香港又怎麼拍的？香港的老街根本拆光了，大學生坐電車那些看起來像中環德輔道的鏡頭，怎麼來的？「那是檳城和怡保。那裡的街屋和老香港一樣，但是保留得很完整，只是馬來西亞的屋頂是斜的，所以要作些電腦處理。」

戲裡戲外人生層層交織「那電車怎麼來的？」

「特別做的，真的電車。」

學生演戲的部分，是在香港大學陸佑堂裡頭拍的。一九一○年代的建築，立在山頭，仍舊風姿綽約。拍學生演戲的那一段，李安覺得全身起雞皮疙瘩，因為影片裡的一切，都是他自己在台北國立藝專第一次演話劇時所經歷的：大學禮堂的舞台，純真年輕的學生，從演戲裡頭發揮自己又找到自己的奇異經驗，演完以後大夥興奮地去吃宵夜，空空的街上下著小雨…李安在敘述，我看著他的眼睛，很大的眼睛，溫煦、誠懇，但是很深刻。這裡有好幾層的人生和故事交叉重疊了：二十歲的李安和二十歲的王佳芝、鄺裕民，過去的年輕演員李安和現在的年輕演員湯唯。從前和此刻，戲裡和戲外，劇本和人生，層層交織。

在尋找易先生的辦公桌時，浮現在李安腦裡的是「小時候爸爸會用的那種桌子。」「色戒」在尋找的，是爸爸的時代會看的電影，會哼的歌，會穿的衣服，會擺在書架上的書，還有民國的口音。一口京腔普通話的湯唯得上課改學南方的國語。梁朝偉、王力宏、湯唯上了三個月的課，要讀「未央歌」、「藍與黑」，要看尤敏主演的「星星月亮太陽」，要聽當時的流行音樂，要讀戴笠和胡蘭成的傳記和作品，要熟悉張愛玲作品裡的每一個字，要進入一個有縱深的、完整的歷史情境。

現在若不拍就會永遠沉沒很深地「浸泡」在那個歷史情境裡，李安說，拍到後來，幾乎有點被「附身」的感覺。「是張愛玲的作品找我，不是我找它。這段歷史，就是要被留下來。」

「可是他們這個年齡的人距離那個時代，太遙遠了。」似乎說得口都乾了，他喝了一口茶，繼續，「我們這一代還知道一點點，我們這一代不拍這電影，將來，就永遠不可能了。」

我看著李安。這是香港中環的四季酒店，接近晚上十一點，我突然發現了「色戒」是什麼。

它是李安個人的「搶救歷史」行動。也許是張愛玲小說裡人性的矛盾吸引了他，也許是張愛玲離經叛道的價值觀觸動了他，也許是小說的電影筆法啟發了他，但是，真正拍起來，卻是一個非常個人的理由，使得他以「人類學家」的求證精神和「歷史學家」的精準態度去「落實」張愛玲的小說，把四○年代的民國史──包括它的精神面貌和物質生活，像拍紀錄片一樣寫實地紀錄下來。他非常自覺，這段民國史，在香港只是看不見的邊緣，在大陸早已湮沒沉埋，在台灣，逐漸被去除、被遺忘，被拋棄，如果他不做，這一段就可能永遠地沉沒。他在搶救一段他自己是其中一部分的式微的歷史。

把張愛玲褪色的膠捲還原「話劇團的部分在港大陸佑堂拍，你知道陸佑是什麼人嗎？」

他搖頭。

「你記得民國五十三年，有架飛機因為劫機在台中附近掉下來，死了五六十個人，很多電影圈的重要人物，裡面有個人叫陸運濤？」

「當然知道，」李安說，「他是電懋電影的創立人，『星星月亮太陽』就是他的。他那時先來花蓮，還有雷震跟趙雷，我那時九歲，還跟他們一起照相，印象很深刻。」

「陸佑，就是陸運濤的父親。」

啊…他不說話了，可是我們可能都在想一樣的事情：歷史的許多蛛絲馬跡，看似互不相關，卻會在你毫無準備的時候驀然浮現，彷彿它找到了你。張愛玲在一九三九年拎著一支大皮箱來到港大校園，許地山是她的系主任。戰火開打時，她在陸佑堂的臨時醫院裡作學生看護，外表清純的女學生心裡深藏著一個人性Ｘ光照相機，喀擦喀擦拍下人世的荒蕪。二十幾歲的港大女生張愛玲，是否料到七十年後在陸佑堂，有個李安試圖把她褪色的膠捲還原？床戲演得那樣真實，那樣徹底，使我對兩位演員肅然起敬，但是，如果不是演員對導演有極度的信任，這樣沒有保留的演出是做不到的。李安是如何說服演員在這部電影裡，激烈而直接的性，是必要的呢？我相信它的必要。

張愛玲的這篇「不好看」的小說，之所以驚世駭俗，主要是因為小說中違反世俗的黑白不分、忠奸不明的價值觀。一般的作者去處理女特工和漢奸的故事，難免要寫女特工的壯烈和漢奸的可惡。張愛玲的女特工卻因為私情而害了國事，張愛玲的漢奸，也不那麼明白地可惡，長得「蒼白清秀」，最貼近的描述，透露的倒有幾分可憐：「此刻的微笑也絲毫不帶諷刺性，不過有點悲哀。他的側影迎著台燈，目光下視，睫毛像米色的蛾翅，歇落在瘦瘦的面頰上，在她看來是一种溫柔憐惜的神氣。」

獵人與獵物角色很弔詭更「嚴重」的是，女特工之所以動情，那情卻也不是一般浪漫小說裡的純純的愛，而是，性愛。「事實是，每次跟老易在一起都像洗了個熱水澡，把積鬱都沖掉了，因為一切都有了個目的。」征服一個男人通過他的胃，「到女人心裡的路通過陰道。」如果王佳芝背叛了她的同志，是由於她純純的愛，她還可能被世俗諒解甚至美化，但是，她卻是因為性的享受，而產生情，而背叛大義，這，才是真正的離經叛道，才是小說真正的強大張力所在。「她最後對他的感情強烈到是什麼感情都不相干了，只是有感情。他們是原始的獵人與獵物的關系，虎與倀的關系，最終極的佔有。」就權力的掌控而言，易先生是「獵人」，王佳芝是「獵物」；就肉體的釋放而言，王佳芝可能是「獵人」，易先生是「獵物」。

因為有如此濃烈的「色」，才會有危險而肅殺的「戒」。易先生把一枚「戒指」圈在王佳芝的手指上，究竟是易先生施「戒」於王，還是王是易先生的「戒」，恐怕是一個辯證關係、互為連環。「虎」和「倀」是什麼關係？「倀」和「娼」又是什麼關係？在小說裡，性寫得隱晦，但是張愛玲彷彿給李安寫了導演指示；「到女人心裡的路通過陰道」，是一個寫在劇本旁邊的導演指示。導演完全看見了性愛在這齣戲裡關鍵的地位，所有的戲劇矛盾和緊張，其實都源自這裡。

性愛精準拿捏張力瀕斷裂李安對性愛的拿捏，非常精準。頭一場床戲的暴虐或可被批評為缺乏創意，因為專家會指出，這種性的暴虐在納粹電影裡常會出現，用來凸顯「權勢就是春藥」的主題。但是在其後的床戲中，兩人身體之極盡纏繞交揉而神情之極盡控制緊繃，充分呈現了兩人對自己、對命運的態度：易先生對戰事早有壞的預感，知道自己前途堪虞。王佳芝更是走在火燙的刀山上，命提在手裡。兩人的表情，有絕望的神色，性愛，是亡命之徒的唯一救贖也是最後一搏；加上一張床外面的世界是狼犬和手槍，暗殺和刑求，陰雨綿綿，「色」與「戒」在這裡做最尖銳的抵觸對峙，李安把戲劇的張力拉到接近斷裂邊緣。

「76號」

2007-09-30T20:09:00.000-04:00

抗日戰爭時期，日本帝國主義曾在上海扶植起一個漢奸特工機構，這個打著汪偽集團「中央執行委員會特務工作總指揮部」旗號的特務組織，犯下了種種罪行。因其巢穴位於滬西的極司菲爾路76號(今萬航渡路435號)，故簡稱「76號」。它是後來令人提及而色變的汪偽特務魔窟。

「76號」的創始者是李士群。李士群早年參加過共產黨，曾赴蘇聯學習，後被捕叛變成為國民黨的「中統」特務。1938年又投靠日本特務機關當了蒐集情報的漢奸。日軍侵佔上海後，為急於控制上海，便出錢、出槍，指令李士群儘快建立漢奸特務組織。李士群覺得自己的號召力不夠，請來了甘當漢奸的「軍統」、「中統」雙料特務丁默村。他們網羅願意降日的「軍統」、「中統」人員作骨幹，另收買流氓、地痞等社會渣滓作打手，拼湊起了一個漢奸特務組織的班底。經日本特務機關「梅機關」的晴氣慶胤中佐選定，將極司菲爾路76號的原安徽省主席陳調元公館作為丁默村、李士群特務組織的駐地。

1939年5月，叛國投敵的汪精衛來到上海籌建偽政權。日本侵略軍為增強汪偽實力，遂將丁默村、李士群的特務組織撥給了汪精衛。力量薄弱的汪精衛立即把這個特務組織當作自己實施傀儡統治的支柱之一。丁默村、李士群分任汪偽「特工總部」的正、副主任，但「76號」的真正主人，卻是日本特務機關。「76號」內駐有一支由澀谷准尉統領的日本憲兵分隊，職責就是監視「76號」的漢奸特務。「76號」每採取大的行動，不但要事先知會日本特務機關，還要在日本特務機關派員督導下方能實施。

二、充當日軍侵華工具的特工總部「76號」犯下了滔天罪行

充當日本侵略軍鷹犬的「76號」，打擊殘害的目標主要是各界、各黨派的抗日愛國志士，製造了一起又一起流血慘案。太平洋戰爭爆發前，日軍尚不能開進上海的英、法租界，新聞界的愛國人士便在租界裏辦報宣傳抗日，揭露日偽罪行。「76號」奉日本主子之命，打、砸過許多家報館，還將不肯屈服的《大美晚報》總編輯張似旭、經理李駿英、副刊編輯朱惺公暗殺。文學家郁達夫的哥哥郁華，時任設在租界內的江蘇高等法院第二分院刑庭庭長，因堅持對打砸報館的「76號」特務判刑，被「76號」派人槍殺在汽車上。大革命時期加入共產黨的徐阿梅，在工人中組織「星期服務團」支援抗日部隊，遭「76號」特務綁架殺害。國民黨派往淪陷區執行任務的特工人員，也有一些死於「76號」特務之手。「76號」還曾派出大批特務乘夜進入法租界，將國民黨政府掌握的中國農民銀行20多位職員集體屠殺。「76號」下屬的各「行動大隊」中，充斥著地痞流氓。殺人如麻的「76號」並有一條規定：凡槍殺一個人，即發給500元的「喜金」，進一步刺激了漢奸特務們的殺人欲。「76號」勢力最盛時，將其觸角伸向了日偽軍所能控制的多個淪陷區，分別在江蘇、浙江、廣東、湖北、安徽等地建立了隸屬特工總部的8個區級特務機構———南京區、江蘇區、蘇北區、上海區、杭州區、華南區、武漢區、安徽區。

三、特工總部「76號」的滅亡

然而，日本人對自己的走狗從來都是不放心的，一旦他們猜疑李士群有可能「尾大不掉」，便產生了殺李之心。1942年，李士群的親信、「76號」的警衛大隊長吳世寶先被日本憲兵毒死。一年以後，李士群也被日本憲兵隊的特高課長岡村少佐用同樣的毒藥毒死。李士群死後，「76號」馬上就被改組。汪偽的特工總部被撤銷，另立政治保衛局，下設第一局和第二局。第一局雖仍駐「76號」原址，但權勢卻大不如前。1944年11月，赴日本治病的汪精衛死於日本，「76號」再降為第一局下屬的上海分局，萎縮瓦解之相已經顯現。

1945年8月日本無條件投降，「76號」也隨之徹底覆滅。曾在「76號」作惡的漢奸特務頭子丁默村，於1947年被槍決。其餘中層頭目蘇成德、楊傑等人也未逃脫懲罰，均被判處死刑。

愛蓮說

2006-08-26T19:07:00.000-04:00

水陸草木之花，可愛者甚蕃。晉陶淵明獨愛菊；自李唐來，世人盛愛牡丹；予獨愛蓮之出淤泥而不染，濯清漣而不妖，中通外直，不蔓不枝，香遠益清，亭亭靜植，可遠觀而不可褻玩焉。予謂菊，花之隱逸者也；牡丹，花之富貴者也；蓮，花之君子者也。噫！菊之愛，陶後鮮有聞；蓮之愛，同予者何人；牡丹之愛，宜乎眾矣。

The Best Day of Your Life

2005-05-12T09:47:00.000-04:00

The best day of your life is the day you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.
The life is yours; it is an amazing journey;
and you alone are responsible
for the quality of it.

Resolve

2005-05-05T16:49:00.000-04:00

· Resolve to stay brutally optimistic. See the opportunity in every difficulty and anticipate the most favorable outcome out of every situation. Whatever you look for, that's what you'll find. We can get better or we can get bitter; it all depends on the lessons we draw from each experience. Optimism is like electricity -- very little happens without it. Know this truth: you have all the resources you'll ever need to handle all the challenges you'll ever have. It's in the true emergencies that the true you emerge.

· Resolve to identify the most powerful benefit you offer, to the people around you, and then deliver it. "The purpose of life," said George Bernard Shaw, "is a life of purpose." What's yours? Where are you investing your personal energy: self-preservation or adding value to others? Here's the well-being paradox: if you're only concerned about yourself, you cannot take care of yourself. Only by helping others can you succeed.

· Resolve to pump up your personal vitality. In the game of life it's not about who's right, it's about who's left. Over 60 per cent of us are more than 36 years old. The real currency of the new century is not cash, it's vitality. It's the ability to keep going every day of every week of every month of the year with vigor and verve. All you are to the people around you is a source of energy and you cannot give what you don't have. Ninety per cent of all adults do no physical exercise at all. More than half of us are overweight. A third of us still smoke. So, this year, resolve to enhance your physical, emotional and mental vitality. Take just a small step. First you'll amaze yourself and then you'll amaze everybody else.

· Resolve to be habitually generous. Success is not something you pursue, it's something you attract by what you become. The more you give of yourself, the more favors you attract from others. People have a deep-rooted drive to give back. So resolve to search for ways to contribute to others. Here's an interesting aphorism: Live above the line. If the line represents others' expectations of you, consistently surpass those expectations. You'll develop what the business author Ken Blanchard calls "raving fans," people who become walking billboards for you.

· Resolve to go on a mental diet. Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can scar you for life. It's humans, not elephants, who never forget. So resolve to use the language of conciliation, not the language of confrontation. Avoid the temptation to vent your negativity on others. Instead, use words that express your joie de vivre and connection with others.

· Resolve to be a global citizen, fully open to the cultures and influences of others. There is a direct correlation between personal well-being and openness to other peoples' ideas and cultures. If someone has a different point of view, they're probably right as well. There are no absolutes anymore, so welcome different opinions. Become a one-person champion of plurality. Not only will you make lots of new friends, but you'll also gather multiple reference points to help you resolve personal challenges.

· Resolve to take control of your destiny. Don't be so busy trying to make a living that you forget to make a life. Decide who you want to be and what you want to achieve and then stride boldly towards your vision. The most precious human commodity today is confidence.

· Resolve to increase your human connectedness. The person with the best connections wins. The wider your network, the more opportunities you generate. It's all about trust. And it's all about profile -- your presence in the minds of the people who matter. So invest at least 10 per cent of your time broadening your sphere of influence. Connect other people to opportunities within your network: cross-pollinate their potential. When you are with others, make every encounter a pleasurable one. When you listen, truly listen. And burn your fear of rejection.

· Resolve to increase your creativity by letting go of the familiar. Nothing is as far away as yesterday. Try to see the world through fresh eyes every day. As Salman Rushdie writes, every year is the Stone Age to the year that follows it. Listen to your intuition and follow your instincts, they'll tell you what to do before your head have a chance to figure it out. You are a Picasso or Einstein at something. Discover what it is and then develop it to the maximum.

· Resolve to be you because others are already taken. You and I are at our best when we're being authentic. We're at our best when we're being positively spontaneous because that's when all our energy is being invested in the person in front of us or the task at hand. In a hyper-competitive world, we cannot afford to second-guess ourselves. Success in the new, new age is all about speed. So act now, because if not now, when?

If I Knew

2005-05-05T16:38:00.000-04:00

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape record each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.

There will always be another day to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."

And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

The Butterfly

2005-05-04T15:29:00.000-04:00

One day, a small opening appeared in a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then, it seems to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further. So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly's body, and become firm.

Neither happened!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes, Struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been able to fly.

I asked for Strength... and I was given Difficulties to make me Strong.
I asked for Wisdom... and I was given Problems to Solve.
I asked for Prosperity... and I was given a Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage... and I was given Obstacles to Overcome.
I asked for Love... and I was given Troubled People to Help.
I asked for Favors... And I was given Opportunities.
"I received Nothing I wanted... But I received Everything I needed."

Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and know that you can overcome them."
