没理由的快乐

很多人以为,快乐来自“得到”。
得到成就、财富、关系、掌声,
我们当然会快乐。

但这种快乐,往往是短暂的。
因为所有建立在外在的东西,
都有无常的一面。
有生,就有死;
有高峰,就有低谷;
有得到,也会有失去。

这个道理,其实每个人都懂。
但还有一个更深的层面。
这个层面,不是靠“动”,
不是靠“做”,
也不是靠“成为”。

可是现代人,包括很多修行者,
还是一直在追求。
追求开悟、追求成长、追求更高层次、追求something。
仿佛现在的自己,永远还不够完整。

于是人生变成:
不断地做、不断地追、不断地期待。

但我想说的是:
真正深层的快乐,
很多时候不是来自doing something,
而是来自——
be yourself。

当你不再拼命证明自己,
不再一直追赶,
不再把自己的价值建立在“我还差一点”上,

你的心,才会慢慢轻松下来。
自在,不是懒惰。
自在,也不是放弃成长。
而是你终于不需要靠外在,
来证明自己的存在。

那个时候,
你会发现:
快乐其实没有离开过你。
只是我们太忙、太用力、太想成为别人眼中的“更好”,
所以把它弄丢了。

爱的智慧,不只是教人如何成功。
更重要的是,
它让人重新回到自己。

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment.
