Outliers - Maclcom Gladwell
Some obervations from outliers:
Most outliers have 3 things in common:
1) passion
2) talents
3) hard work
Even one does not do above average among the selected best group,as long as they are "above the threshold" level, they mostly can achieve outstanding results in mkt
Actually, not only IQ matters, but practical intelligence is also of impt vs analytical intelligence. How the genius brought up , mainly dictated by the family background. Say, for those come from middle family, they learn of "entitlement", those kids are more described as more alert, poised, attractive and well dressed. It is in contrast with those brought up from lower end family, of whom the genius learnt of " independence" but some are lacking the practical intelligence.
"They neeeded an opportunity to step outside those roles when they sat in the cockpit, and language was the key to that transformation." - Korean pilots p.256.
Under emergency cicumstance, you need commands and assertive words to clearly communicate to the team, rather than the submissive requests which are the prodcuts of cultural legacy and history of individualistic characteristics.
"Success is a function of persistence and doggedness and the willingness to work hard for 22 mins to make sense of something that most people would give up on after 30 sec." P.288
"Virtually every success story we've seen in this book so far involves someone or some group working harder than their peers". p.279
"Working really hard is what successful people do, and the genius of the culture is that hard work gave those in the fields a way to find meaning in the midst of great uncertainty and poverty".
"SSLANT - smile, sit up, listen, ask questions, nod when being spoken to, and track with your eyes" p. 293
"It is when thus relieved from the state of tension belonging to acutal study that boys and girls, as well as men and women, acquire the habit of thought and reflection, and of forming their own conclusions, independently of what they are taught and the authority of others." p.297
"Outliers are those who have been given opportunities - and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them" p. 313
"We are so caught in the myths of the best and the brightest and the self-made that we think outliers spring naturally from the earth" p. 314
"Marita just needed a chance" p. 315

Hunter Valley Garden
We picked up by the KAA tour at 7:30am, we shortly head off for our journery!
We firstly went to the Reptiles park, where we could touch the hair of Koala bears and fed the kangaroos. We then went to try the Pork Gin at a wine tasting shop. We actually tired another wine shop...but of course our target is Hunter Valley Gardens
Hunter Valley Gardens has 12 themed gardens spinning over 25 hectares. We enjoyed a delightful 2-course lunch here (with ice cream ^.^).
We actually just went to the Rose Garden, Border Garden, Storybook Garden and Italian Grotto here. I guess these are some of the best themed gardens here.
We finished the trip with the chocolate factory.

與同事分享的 agnis' b cakes
CFA III 好險的過了, 與同事分享的 agnis' b cakes 份外令人難忘和好味道啊.
很感恩的.我今年可以通過了CFA第III級的考試- 导致我得到了特許財務分析師(CFA)的證照.但在我得知成績結果之前，最後我也終於學會完全地释放自己…我學會了上帝教我的一個工課...
上帝教導我是否拿到CFA並不是最重要的事情，最重要的是要有堅持不懈,解決問題的決心和勇氣面對困難.

在懼怕中，我們可以怎樣禱告？
好友"美麗人" 給我的故勵和提議 謝謝她們對自己的關心 也抱歉要她們為自己擔心.
「我懼怕的時候要倚靠你。 我倚靠神……必不懼怕」
（詩五十六3-4）
在懼怕中，我們可以怎樣禱告？懼怕是很有主宰性、支配性的力量，操控我們的感受和行為反應，而在人、事的不濟中就浮出來，或在內心閃動而擺佈我們。感恩的是，神教導我們「敬畏」祂，其實是一種邀請，叫我們把一切的懼怕轉向祂，單單的懼怕祂。敬畏神是確認祂是生命的獨一主宰，而一切的事物，包括經濟起跌、關係衝突、成敗得失、面色眼神都不是神，都不能至終決定我們的命運福祉。獨一的以神為神，幫助我們解除各種宣稱主宰我們的事物，使我們內心堅強、安頓、釋然、寬廣。
面對叫我們懼怕的事物，我們可以怎樣的禱告？我們很容易把那些嘗試支配我們的情緒轉移成為一種支配神的禱告，譬如給神期限，分不清是在指令神還是祈求神，分不清我們是表達自己的無助，抑或在投射神是無助和不濟的。敬畏神的禱告反而是放下一切支配的慾望來表示單純的倚靠，並宣告獨一的敬畏祂。在禱告的過程中，我發覺有很多我可以做的東西：
1.
我可以祈求幫助，陳明需要，開放我的感受，表達內心的掙扎。我可以保持溝通而不需指定後果，把後果和出路完全交託信靠祂的智慧和安排。.我可以表示我的擔憂，但同時認定唯有祂是神，並相信祂應許的信實，即凡尋求祂的，祂必應允。至於如何應允是祂的事。
2.
我可以讚美祂，唯有祂超越萬有、可頌可畏、至聖至榮。願神你越顯為至大，我心靈的視野就越擴闊，我的目光就不貼於眼前的呎土。我可以學習無聲的等候仰望，單單的注目於主。讓主你的榮美轉化我、感化我。讓我的心靈隨你的呼喚轉向你、歸回安息於你。
3.
我可在神面前謙卑，承認卑微有限、無助無奈是我的實況，讓我放手去除支配慾望而安息安頓。
4.
我可以在神面前學習堅持。懼怕叫我退縮，但神若你沒有叫我退，就求你幫我站穩，求你加力助我堅定依靠你。
5.
我可以溫柔地面對裡面洶湧的情緒，讓他們展現在神的面前，讓神的愛來開解疏導他們。
6.
我可以在神你的光中反省自己，那些地方靠著主恩可以做得更好，更自由、更有效、更著力。
7.
我可以把我的同工和其它肢體的需要帶到神你的面前。他們得你安慰、扶持，就是我被安慰、扶持。
「他不喜悅馬的力大，不喜愛人的腿快。耶和華喜愛敬畏他和盼望他慈愛的人。」(詩一四七10-11)
