与任何人相处,首先要了解他几时会有情绪,有怎样的情绪以及如何处理情绪,才能避免冲突,待得风平浪静时再理智对话。
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Welcome! 欢迎!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Welcome to my virtual home. This is a little private space for me to put my thoughts and share my feelings since 2005. Due to my wide range of interests, there are perhaps too many tags. I would explain some of the less obvious tags:
"About Life" is really about how I have been pondering about life and what enlightenments and paradigm shifts I had experienced.
"About Psi" contains most topics about happiness, optimism vs pessimism,
confidence, comparison, pride and prejudice and other psychological aspects.
"About Logical Thinking" is about my own way of interpretating and explaining
certain issues, aiming to debunk (or create?) superficialness of them.
"About Ideology" is about my thoughts on big concepts like freedom, justice,
fairness in society and religion.
"About Society" is more about my observations about the society, often through interactions with different peoples.
"My Country" reveals my frustration, critics and hope
on my homeland - Malaysia.
"My Little Pieces" has more short posts though mostly are written in Mandarin.
While I do have some posts on book reviews and business, I am planning to
separate them into author-specific and content-specific blogs. Stay tuned.
Enjoy your reading!

批评
批评的尺度不易拿捏,但有些人不会去顾忌,一种是可爱的直肠子,一种是可怕的独裁者。后者以批评为独门利器,不管情势如何,不理会你死活,总是不刺不爽。

自嘲与他讽
要是我说自己很幽默,那真是天大的幽默,定能让朋友捧腹大笑,因为我更像是说教的八股佬,与诙谐丝毫沾不上边。幽默这个鬼东西,曾让我苦恼了很久,仿佛怎么学也学不来,请教霆辉,他就说了句鬼话:“幽默,是看心境的。”那时候听了真得让我哭笑不得,你自己逍遥尘世外就好了,用不着这样忽悠我这个凡夫吧。
直到后来,我才发觉那句话,真的是鬼话。当不同的人接触多了,不同的玩笑见识多了,沟通的技巧进步了,与人交流的自信建立了,尽管还是与幽默沾不上边,却慢慢觉得自己比较能说笑了。再想回那句话,更有体会。
幽默,是看心境的。什么样的心境呢?我觉得有两种。第一种是有自信时。据说幽默这词是林语堂大师从英文Humour翻译过来的(忘了在哪里翻到,有空才去查证),译得可真妙。在他的其中一篇散文里提到英国大文豪萧伯纳到访上海,正值那天难得有太阳,大家就说:“萧翁真幸运,有福气在上海看到太阳,近来都乌云密布呢。”你猜一下萧翁怎么回答?他冷酷地说:“是太阳有福气呢,能在上海见到我。”真让人哭笑不得。反讽是幽默的体现,而不少大师让人拍手称绝的幽默都是绝妙的反讽,试问一个自卑或没有自信的人怎么去反讽呢?
至于这样的困扰,你经历过吗?就是在很多人或一些人面前总是幽默不起来,但和自己最亲近的、最熟悉的、最信赖的亲朋面前,却能无拘地谈笑风生。谁说你不幽默呢?不过那个场合让你不自在、不舒服、不能展现自我而已,只要在能让你有自信的环境氛围下,你登时就能活跃起来。
第二种心境就是逍遥洒脱。不少凡夫俗子市井小民,对自己的身份、地位、能力并不自信,但也并不耿耿于怀放在心上,做一天和尚敲一天钟,对生活没有太大的奢求,反而让他们的言谈很幽默,无论是对生活苦难的自嘲,对社会乱像的投诉,还是对周遭烂泥的挖苦,听来都觉很诙谐。
人不在这两种心境时,应该很难幽默起来吧。人没有这两种心境,或许也学不到幽默吧。自嘲是一种幽默,但不是所有自嘲都是幽默,有些不过是为了沽名聚焦。如何辨别呢?如果一个人经常自嘲,但却不能接受他人讽刺的,就是纯粹为了吸引注意力,因为他实际上并不拥有这两种心境,不过借预设好的自嘲博君一笑而已。遇到这样的情况,应酬一下,笑笑就好,哈哈。那些能把别人的讽刺冷箭,反射回去或化为自嘲的,才是高招。
所以大家别以为我幽默,我最爱就是高谈阔论。(应酬笑一下,好吗?)

我在说话吗?
每一天,我们听到不少话,大多都是一般话。一开始听到,还会困惑一下;听多了,就觉得那些话真的很一般,道听再途说,一代传一代,一口传一口,基本上如同出一撤,烙饼都不会烙得如此相像,基因复制还会有突变呢!于是我开始纳闷了,难道这就是社会的智慧和经验传承?
或许,话的信服力终究得看人。同样的话从不同的人口里说出来,质量(不是份量,如果是份量,只管听高官的话就好了)不一样,因为一些人是随口讲中,一些人是人云亦云,一些人是真心分享。
“听话”,真的不简单呢?何时可以让我听到“胜读十年书”的一席话呢?

Compromise
There are millions of people and we are all still learning how to treat others and teaching others how to treat us. These matters could be complicated when it comes to living together, as everyone has their own habits and desires. Compromise is a must, but to reach compromise without straining the relationship, the easiest way is to possess both qualities: openness/frankness and kindness/forgiveness.
If it's a true friendship that's built on mutual trust, it can weather even the greatest storm.

Friends and communications
There are two types of people in term of ways of keeping friends, tie inside a circle or tie across circles. For the former type, they believe that few soul mates are enough to support them, at good times or at bad times, and hence reduce efforts in making new friends; for the latter type, they prefer to know as many peoples as they can, and hence often reduce efforts in developing deeper rapport with friends. A mix of these two types, could be anything. So are you the former type or the latter type, or a mix of both? It certainly needs efforts to keep a friendship and hence your choice reflects your need. I think I belongs to the mix type but I've no idea to what extent.
There are also two ways of communicating, one-to-one or one-to-all. Some people are good in heart talk, some people are good to lead the talk and some people excel in both. Often, people that are good in one-to-all communication get most of the attention and leaves the most impressive impression to others. But this impression will burst into devastation if they are not good in one-to-one communication, failing to establish close rapport. I think I am good in neither ways as sometimes I am insensitive to friends' feeling and lack genuine care. Hope I can improve it continuously.
But sometimes I feel that, everyone has his/her own way in building rapport with friends, and it's good to learn from everyone. For example, BK may not excel in one-to-all communication but sometimes he surprised me with his sheer sensitivity and empathy, by asking me question that struck my hidden chord. How brilliant!
It's a long long way to go... let's keep walking together, my dear friends~

是非八卦
自旅行回来后见了一些朋友,聊了不少,发觉话题都集中于工作前景、人生方向、金钱管理、男女情爱这四方面。这些确实是将后人生的重点,大家都需要交换资讯和心得,既了解朋友的近况,也增广见闻开拓视野。
当然偶尔也会议论朋友的是非,难听一点就是“在背后说人坏话”。大家都认为这样做是缺德的,是三姑六婆的特色,做了会有少少的愧疚感,仿佛“在面前说坏话”才是正直清高,但实际上每个人或多或少都曾这么做,也肯定会在以后继续做。而更为奇怪的是,既然这个是事实,却总是被忽视,大家一旦听到别人在背后窃窃私语,猜忌心就会变得特别重,怀疑别人在背后造谣和中伤,邪恶战胜了理智,冷静完败于愤怒。赤柬恶魔波尔波特的主要力量正是来自猜忌,所以才会视屠杀为正义。
人与人之前的相处,总有许多灰色地带。很大程度上,“在背后说人坏话”并非造谣和中伤,而是交换对周遭朋友的评价。通过交换,一来拉近说话者之间的共识,二来了解更多的是非后才能更不主观地评价朋友。
若说做人应大方接受别人坦率的批评,那也应该有气量去接受背后的议论。两者皆是镜子。若是扭曲的哈哈镜,何妨大笑一番?若是真实的平面镜,还不赶快细看?

Do you know how to deal with people?
If such question were asked during interview, most of us with prior preparation could answer well. But it's easier to say than do. In reality, how often we feel frustrated for all sorts of interpersonal problems? Difference in opinions, values or even personalities could cause incomprehension of friends' action and further separation.
Sometimes you could be driven mad just because you don't know why could they do this. Sadly, there's no way you could understand fully different beliefs of different people. Nor could you correctly attributes all of their actions to a certain cause. Because everyone, including you is a complex person. Hence the key in dealing with people is not judgement (to judge whether their actions are right or wrong from your own set of belief), but tolerance and empathy.
If you view someone as devil, you would notice some of his/her strength; if you view someone as angel, you would notice some of his/her weakness. None of us is perfect. So be more tolerant to allows others rooms for improvement, life's never without a mistake.
With my mind machine turning on now, I starts to become more and more tolerant in dealing with peoples, as I were before. I feel like it's a round trip of journey of myself. I've back to where I were before, with better understanding of myself and others.

赞
日前陪母亲去处理公积金的提款申请,柜台服务的马来大姐实在给人留下太深的印象。
“Auntie, ada bawa bou zai (簿仔)?”
“yau sau (右手) tekan”
“Auntie, tangan mahu fong song (放松)”
连发音都丝毫误差,实在“无得弹”,于是投桃报李地赞一个:“Kak pandai bercakap!”美丽的花朵在她的脸上缓缓绽开。
赞,不是因为她是马来人去学粤语,挑起了民族自豪的神经;而是欣喜公务员提高效率,体贴民众。
此种人不可多得,赞要赞出口,而后也值得为文再赞,以示支持。
