Today is a special day... which come once in 100 years...
and at 11.11 am that time... will be 11.11, 11.11.11... that moment.. what are u doing?

無論愛不愛，下輩子都不會再見
無論愛不愛，下輩子都不會再見
分享一篇香港電臺知名主持人梁繼璋----送給兒子
最喜歡最後一句"無論愛不愛，下輩子都不再見"，
香港電臺知名主持人梁繼璋曾給兒子寫過一封信，
下輩子，無論愛與不愛，都不會再見----送給兒子的備忘錄
我兒：寫這備忘錄給你，基於三個原則：
（一）人生福禍無常，誰也不知可以活多久，
（二）我是你的父親，我不跟你說，沒有人會跟你說。
（三）這備忘錄記載的，都是我經過慘痛失敗得回來的體驗，
以下，便是你在人生中要好好記住的事：
（一）對你不好的人，你不要太介懷，在你一生中，
（二）沒有人是不可代替，沒有東西是必須擁有。看透了這一點，
（三）生命是短暫的，今日你還在浪費著生命，
（四）世界上並沒有最愛這回事，愛情只是一種霎時的感覺，
（五）雖然很多有成就的人士都沒有受過很多教育，
（六）我不會要求你供養我下半輩子，
（七）你可以要求自己守信，但不能要求別人守信，
（八）我買了十多二十年六合彩，還是一窮二白，連三獎也沒有中，

Low Cholesterol Levels - A doctor's comment
Low Cholesterol Levels Increases Cancer Risk- American College of Cardiology
For years, I've been telling my patients that the medical establishment' s obsession with lowering cholesterol to prevent heart disease is causing more harm than good.
If your doctor continues to get you worried about your high cholesterol levels, here's a bit of news for you...
In fact, your high cholesterol may be protecting you from cancer.
Today, I'll explain the truth behind the myth of cholesterol, and show you how to achieve heart health naturally.
A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology revealed that driving down cholesterol levels actually increases the risk of cancer.
Researchers at the Tufts University School of Medicine found that among people taking "statin" drugs - like Lipitor and Zocor - there was a higher rate of cancer. Although the link between the drugs and cancer wasn't clear, there was no doubt that drastically low cholesterol levels correlated to cancer risk.
The big drug makers continue to sell the notion that the best way to fight heart disease is to lower LDL levels, the so-called "bad" cholesterol.
Yet 75 percent of people who suffer heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels.
It makes sense that low cholesterol levels are linked to cancer because cholesterol is one of your body's basic building blocks. You need it to produce testosterone, to build and repair cell membranes, and to preserve your nerve cells through the formation of the protective "sheaths" that cover them.
Starving your body of this critical substance will lead to other health problems. We already know that extremely low cholesterol levels result in muscle weakness, fatigue, depression, decreased sex drive, and "brain fog." This new research shows that there may be even more deadly consequences.
What really matters is not low "bad" cholesterol, but high levels of HDL, the so-called "good" cholesterol. As long as you have a high HDL count - 75 to 80, for example - it doesn't matter whether your total cholesterol is 150 or 350. A high HDL will always keep your risk of heart disease extremely low.
So why haven't you heard this already? It may be because there's no drug that effectively raises good cholesterol levels. You can only effectively do it naturally.
Consume natural fats. Avoid processed or fast foods containing "trans" fats - these man-made substances were never meant for consumption, and your body doesn't know what to do with them. They wind up clogging your arteries and putting you on the fast track to heart disease.
Instead, get your fat from free-range or grass-fed animals, eggs, nuts, and unprocessed vegetable oils. These are some of the healthiest foods you can eat. (As with all foods, look for organic or minimally processed options whenever possible.)
The health benefit of these natural fats comes from their balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Your body needs both but, as with cholesterol, they have to be in balance. Omega-3s are great for your heart. They've been shown to prevent irregular heartbeat, reduce clogging of the arteries, lower blood pressure, and decrease inflammation in body tissues.
If you stick to eating natural fats, you'll automatically get the right ratio of Omega-6 and Omega-3, which is about 2:1. As an added bonus, you'll automatically raise your "good" cholesterol levels and you'll reduce your risk of cancer.

Retirement plan
Retirement？
Hi friends,
The person who wrote HOW TO RETIRE is a genius. He knows what he is talking about and I agree with him fully. One needs to have a " Plan for Retirement" just like one needs to have a career plan. Otherwise it will turn out to be quite a disaster when you retire.
Pay particular attention to the 4 points or pre-conditions stated. It is very true that if one does not keep a regular routine of engagement in worthwhile and beneficial activities (physical, mental and spiritual ) one would quickly degenerate and succumb to diseases and finally "kick the bucket".
I have actually seen a few cases like that. So visualise how the FUTURE is going to be like for you AND then come BACK TO THE PRESENT and plan well ahead if you can. You will not regret you did the right thing in the PAST.
So, here's his story ....
4 Pre-Conditions for Retirement
I retired in year 2000 at age 52. I am now 61, thus I can claim that I got more experience at retirement than most! I thought I should share my experience with you because I have seen too many friends and neighbours who became so bored that they have become a nuisance to their spouse and children and to others!
A few of them have solved the problem by going back to work. They were able to do so because they have a skill/expertise that is still in demand. The rest (and many are my neighbours) live aimlessly or are waiting to die - a very sad situation, indeed..
You can retire only when you fulfil these 4 pre-conditions:
1) Your children are financially independent (e.g. they have jobs),
2) You have zero liability (all your borrowings are paid up),
3) You have enough savings to support your lifestyle for the rest of
your life,
AND most importantly,
4) You know what you would be doing during your retirement.
DO NOT retire till you meet ALL 4 Pre-Conditions. And of course you should not retire if you enjoy working and are getting paid for it!
The problem cases I know of are those who failed to meet
Pre-Condition #4.
When asked, "What would you be doing during your retirement?"
some replied, "I will travel/cruise and see the World". They did
that, some for 3 months and then ran out of ideas. The golfers
replied, "I can golf every day." Most could not because they are
no longer fit to play well enough to enjoy the game. Those who could, need to overcome another hurdle - they need to the find the "kakis" to play with them.
It's the same with mahjong, bridge, badminton, trekking and karaoke - you need "kakis"! Most could not find others who share their favourite game and playing/singing alone is no fun. AND when they do find them, a few of them found that they are NOT welcomed like my obnoxious neighbour whom everyone avoids.
Thus if you are into group sports or games, you must form your groups BEFORE you retire. You need to identify your "kakis", play with them and discover whether they "click" with you.
The less sporty "can read all the books bought over the years". I
know of one guy who fell asleep after a few pages and ended up napping most of the time! He discovered that he did not like to read after all. We do change and we may not enjoy the hobbies we had..
Routine Activities To Fill Your Week
For most people, your routine work activities are planned for you or dictated by others and circumstances. When you retire, you wake up to a new routine - one that you yourself have to establish as nobody else would do it for you!
The routine to establish should keep your body, mind and spirit "sharpened". A good routine would comprise:
a) One weekly physical sport - you need to keep fit to enjoy your
retirement. If you are the non-sporty type, you should fire your maid and clean your home without mechanical aids. Dancing and baby sitting are good alternatives.
b) One weekly mind stimulating activity - e.g. writing, studying
for a degree, acquiring a new skill, solving problems or puzzles,
learn or teach something. You need to stimulate your mind to stay
alive because the day you stop using your brain is the day you start to die.
c) One weekly social activity - choose one involving lots of
friends/neighbours.. Get yourself accepted as a member to at least 3 interests groups. Unless you prefer to be alone, you do need friends more than ever as you get older and less fit to pursue your sport.
d) One weekly community service activity - you need to give to
appreciate what you have taken in this life. It's good to leave some kind of legacy.
With 4 weekly activities, you got 4 days out of 7 covered. The
remaining 3 days should be devoted to family related activities. In
this way, you maintain a balance between amusing yourself and your
family members. Any spare time should remain "spare" so that you
can capitalise on opportunities that come your way like responding to an unexpected request to do a job or to take advantage of cheap fares to see places or to visit an exhibition.
Mind stimulating activities
Most judges live to a ripe old age. They use their brains a lot to
decide on cases. In "Today" you would have read of 2
inspiring oldies. One is a granny who learned to play the guitar at
age 60 to entertain her grandchildren. She's 70+ today and those
grandchildren have grown to play with her.

Another is an Indian radiologist who on retirement, qualified as an acupuncturist. He's age 77 and still offers his services (by appointment only) including free ones to those who have no income. I guarantee you that they are happy people who discovered a "2nd wind" to take them to the sunset with a smile on their faces.
Mind stimulating activities are hard to identify. They require your
will to do something useful with the rest of your life, a mindset
change and the discipline to carry it through.
Your Bucket List
Despite your busy routine, you will at times be bored. Then it's time to turn to your Bucket List.
Your bucket list contains a list of things to do before you kick the
bucket. They are not routine and are usually one off activities. You
need them to have something to look forward to. These include
anniversaries, trips (and pilgrimages), visits to friends and
relations abroad, re-doing your home, attending conferences (related to your hobbies), acquiring a new set of expertise. 4 such activities that are spaced our quarterly would be ideal.
Retirement Is A Serious Business
If you can afford to retire and want to, do prepare to live to your
fullest. You need to be fit to enjoy it - therefore get into shape now.
You do not want to get up on a Monday and wonder what to do each week, therefore identify your set of weekly routine activities now and try them out to confirm that they are the activities that you will be looking forward to doing each week, week after week.
You bucket list of "rewards" or "projects" or "challenges" is needed to help you break away from the routine thereby make live worth living.
Start listing what you fancy and refine it as you chug along in your retirement. You will have so much fun, you would wish you were retired since your turned 21 ! !
