38則「小惡精神」的處世待人原則, 拒絕別人,你沒有對不起誰

可以善良,但你要有底線不當好人:人際關係斷‧捨‧離,勉強自己和別人好,不如找人真心對你好
堅定的善良,無需委屈求全與犧牲! 一昧討好他人,只會喪失自己的價值
◆如果連自己都能犧牲,你還談什麼未來……
 → 忍辱負重不會苦盡甘來,而是繼續背負重擔
  → 柿子專挑軟的吃!你越軟別人吃你越多
  → 敢為自己的付出「開價」,你才開始有價值
  → 出外靠朋友,但討好來的友誼能有幾分「可靠」?
  → 擇善固執,但你有勇氣「固執」嗎?
★在別人面前「裝乖」,就是對自己人生「使壞」!
  總是以和為貴、笑臉迎人,擁有眾人「好評」而且「討人喜歡」,讓你十分自滿……?
  然而,他人的批評和壞臉色,總使你驚恐;「息事寧人」的想法,也讓老是先低頭的你感到委屈?你退讓、成全,只為了與他人和諧共處,可是身邊的一切還是常常令人生氣,生活一點都不順遂!?
  你很累、不快樂,是因為每天「忙著當好人」,對別人好,卻對自己很壞!?
I LOVE THIS ASBOLUTELY, THIS IS WHY MY GRANDMA WAS SAD.
★人際關係 斷‧捨‧離!笑容該留給讓你快樂的人
  雖然「被討厭」是許多人共同的恐懼,但一昧討好他人,其實只是在抹煞性格色彩,讓自己的魅力消失殆盡!
  比起花心思配合十個豬朋狗友,展現自己的個性,交到一個真心朋友,更有價值!
  如果善良的你依然擔心,請看看作者「午堂登紀雄」在書裡為你剖析「被討厭的人生」,很快你就會明白,「被討厭」沒什麼, 「做自己」得到的最真心,人際關係也要勇敢斷‧捨‧離!
★38則「小惡精神」,要你懂「拒絕」,做自己人生的主角!
  無法拒絕自己意願不高的提議,其實只是在浪費寶貴的時間和心力。不管人家對你「道德綁架」、「人情逼迫」,還是「無理攻擊」,你都應該要保有自己的想法,勇敢回絕。
  別再照單全收,讓自己的善良變成被傷害的理由!書中38則「小惡精神」,教你堅定面對人間關係、情感、回話、常理、金錢、父母,且在該硬的時候,為自己勇敢反擊!

【#超媒介|三宅順也:不存在的名創優品設計師】 震驚700萬人!全港擁五十分店國際品牌設計師竟然是他! 近年名創優品(MINISO)不斷在香港擴張,分店愈來愈多,店內人頭湧湧的盛況,甚至比它抄襲的對象更誇張。這間集UNIQLO、MUJI,和Daiso「各家之大成」的混合體,自稱是來自日本的設計師品牌,明眼人卻都知道它是來自中國內地的山寨貨。名創優品每間分店亦有首席設計師三宅順也的「車頭相」,但三宅順也真的存在嗎? 究竟三宅順也是誰?他的名字自然令人聯想起三宅一生(Issey Miyake),當然很明顯,這是刻意的。 三宅順也的日文拼音為「Miyake Junya」,其實就是「Issey Miyake」與「Junya Watanabe」的混合體。後者Junya Watanabe的名氣雖不如前者Issey Miyake大,但認識時裝界的讀者,相信都認識這位國際知名時裝設計師。Junya Watanabe中文為渡邊淳彌,Junya Watanabe就是他創立的同名品牌。渡邊淳彌曾在Comme des Garçons創辦人川久保玲旗下工作,被其影響甚深,甚至被雅稱為川久保玲的得意門生。至於三宅一生,相信不必多講,就是以東方的摺紙(折り紙)設計概念震驚全球60億人(以及設計出女生最愛的Bao Bao袋)的那位三宅一生。 很明顯,「三宅順也」是假名,一個被設計出來的角色;而我們在「車頭相」上看到的人,就是一位演員。 另外,名創優品的官網還提到,三宅順也畢業於日本文化服裝學院(Bunka Fashion College),是山本耀司(Y-3和「川保久齡大戰山本耀司」的那位山本耀司)和高田賢三(KENZO創辦人)的校友。 我們退一百萬步好了,就算三宅順也是一個演員,他的真身也可以是一個時裝設計師啊?沒錯,時裝設計。名創優品是一個販賣十元八塊生活小百貨的公司,與時裝設計風馬牛不相及,他的「創始人兼首席設計師」三宅順也卻是一位畢竟於日本文化服裝學院的時裝設計師,怎麼想也不合理。將一系列國際知名時裝設計師的名字列在官網,感覺上只是想沾一點光。 三宅順也,就是一個活生生的「#超媒介」例子。他作為一個人類當然存在:他可以現身於名創優品的活動中,也可以接受媒體訪問。但是,附加於他身上的「三宅順也」這個概念,其身份、經歷,和思想,都是虛構出來的,是用來為名創優品增加「名為日本風情的附加價值」的符號。 在全球有過千分店的名創優品自稱為日本品牌,有日本人三宅順也作為首席設計師,但它在日本只有4間分店。其實,名創優品之所以能在眾多十元店中突圍而出並不斷擴張,就是因為很多消費者都誤以為「名創優品」真的來自日本。 當然,只要夠便宜,很多人也願意購買——也不會管它是來自中國內地還是日本。這樣下去,只會劣幣驅逐良幣:也許香港未來會有愈來愈多名創優品,甚至有更多抄上抄的「優一尚品UNISO」,以及在明洞幽會的「明洞優匯 MIDIO」(簡單說就是韓國版Miniso)。 這是最好的時代,也是最多山寨的時代。連周六福也能在旺角彌敦道大街上光明正大地開業時,真的令人嘆息:「香港幾時變成咁?」要抵制劣幣,也只能靠消費者的精明抉擇,畢竟「What You Buy is What you Vote」,你的每次消費,決定了你所能得到的世界的面貌。 亲,還要再買嗎

And if you laughed, or if you smiled, or if you nodded your head in agreement, you will be remembered just as Trump will: as a racist, a fool and an absolute embarrassment. "

You’re Sick. Whose Fault Is That? What is the proper balance between personal responsibility, healthcare access and health insurance costs? As long as the system is dysfunctional -- unhealthy -- itself, I don't see how we can decide! (AND assigning blame or fault is the wrong paradigm, IMO. DM) ..."That individuals bear some responsibility for their health is undeniable. Behavior contributes to nearly half of cancer deaths in the United States, and up to 40 percent of all deaths. But viewing personal responsibility as a central driver of longer lives and lower medical costs is problematic...."Personal responsibility is, of course, not a binary construct. When we say unhealthy behavior — overeating, smoking, excessive alcohol use — is not your fault, we may rob people of the initiative to change it. When we say that same behavior is all your fault, we fail to recognize a more complex reality: Health is a product of genes, environment, work, education, family, medical care and many other factors."
