陈凯转载/一个自由人的个体操守
Personal Character of a Free Being
陈凯一语:
一个自由灵魂的个体道德操守经常体现在他/她要求自己不去/不能做什么,而不是自己做过什么。 他/她是一个依原则而生活的人,而不是一个用利益的考量而定义自身的人。
Kai Chen's Words:
Indeed, a free being's moral character is often reflected/revealed on what he/she does not do, rather than what he/she has done. He/she is a principled being of greatness, rather than a moral pervert defined only by calculation of gains and losses in physical world.
精神强大的人 不会做的13件事:
精神强大的人会有一些健康的习惯。他们会用各种方式管理他们的情绪,思想,和习惯使得这些行为促使自己在人生中获得成功。提炼出下列的这些是意志坚强的人不会做的事,如果你也能做到这些,你也会成为一个精神强大的人。
1不在懊恼中浪费时间
精神强大的人不会无所作为,为他们的现状或者是他人对待自己的方式而深感抱歉,相反,他们为在人生中所扮演的角色负责,明白生活并非时时容易和公平。
2不炫耀自己
他们不允许别人控制他们,他们不会让别人觉得超过他们,他们从不说“老板让我觉得好窝囊“,因为他们了解他们有能力控制自己的情绪,选择性的进行回应。
3不回避变化
精神强大的人不会刻意去回避变化。相反,他们欢迎积极的的改变,乐意去变得灵敏。他们明白改变无可避免,并且他们有能力去适应那些改变。
4不浪费精力在他们不能控制的事情上
你不会听到那些精神强大的人抱怨已经丢失了的行李或者是交通拥堵。相反,他们会关注那些在他们生命中能被自己控制的事情。他们意识到有些时候,他们唯一能控制的东西就是他们自己的态度。
5不会为取悦每个人而担心
精神强大的人意识到他们没有必要时时去取悦每一个人。他们不害怕在必要的时候说不或者是把话说明白。他们追求善良和公正,但是如果他们不能使自己快乐,也能使他人同他们一起沮丧。
6不害怕冒预计的风险
他们并非鲁莽的去冒显性的危险,而是不介意冒预计的风险。在做重大决定之前,精神强大的人会花时间衡量风险和成本,在采取行动之前他们能充分的预知潜在的风险。 你可能对此方面的信息感兴趣:积极的人不会做的十件事。
7不会留恋过往
精神强大的人不会浪费时间留恋过去,静儿希望事情能够有所不同。他们认可他们的过往,并从中学到经验。然而,他们不会经常回想坏的经验或者是沉迷于过去辉煌的时光之中。相反,他们为现在而活并计划未来。
8不重犯相同的错误
精神强大的人为他们的习惯负责,并从他们过去的错误中获得经验。因此,他们不会一次又一次的重复犯错,相反,他们在将来会更好的获得进步和做出最明智的决定。
9不嫉妒他人的成功
精神强大的人在生命中会欣赏和祝贺他人的成功。当他人超越自己时,他们不会嫉妒他人或者是感到自己被欺骗,相反,他们认识到成功来源于辛苦工作,并且他们愿意把努力工作成为自己成功的筹码。
10失败一次之后并不放弃
精神强大的人并不会将一次失败作为放弃的理由,相反,他们会将失败作为一次成长和改进的机会并乐意去不断的尝试直至获得成功。
11不惧独处
精神强大的人可以忍受一个人独处不害怕安静,他们不害怕自己思想特立独行并利用以利用空闲时间提高自我。他们喜欢他们的同伴却不在友谊和娱乐上时时依靠他人,相反,他们独处时,充满了喜悦。
12不觉得世界亏欠他们
精神强大的人不会觉得在人生中,任何东西都是应该的,他们并非生而认为他们应该照顾他们或者是这个世界应该给予他们什么。相反,他们根据自我优势寻求机会。
13不期待努力即获成果
精神强大的人努力的改善他们的健康。 当他们从头开始一项新的事业,他们不会期待马上就能获得成。 相反,他们会发挥其最佳能力使用他们的技能和时间并明白真正的改变需要时间。

13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do
Mentally strong people have healthy habits. They manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in ways that set them up for success in life. Check out these things that mentally strong people don’t do so that you too can become more mentally strong.
1. They Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves
Mentally strong people don’t sit around feeling sorry about their circumstances or how others have treated them. Instead, they take responsibility for their role in life and understand that life isn’t always easy or fair.
2. They Don’t Give Away Their Power
They don’t allow others to control them, and they don’t give someone else power over them. They don’t say things like, “My boss makes me feel bad,” because they understand that they are in control over their own emotions and they have a choice in how they respond.
3. They Don’t Shy Away from Change
Mentally strong people don’t try to avoid change. Instead, they welcome positive change and are willing to be flexible. They understand that change is inevitable and believe in their abilities to adapt.
4. They Don’t Waste Energy on Things They Can’t Control
You won’t hear a mentally strong person complaining over lost luggage or traffic jams. Instead, they focus on what they can control in their lives. They recognize that sometimes, the only thing they can control is their attitude.
5. They Don’t Worry About Pleasing Everyone
Mentally strong people recognize that they don’t need to please everyone all the time. They’re not afraid to say no or speak up when necessary. They strive to be kind and fair, but can handle other people being upset if they didn’t make them happy.
6. They Don’t Fear Taking Calculated Risks
They don’t take reckless or foolish risks, but don’t mind taking calculated risks. Mentally strong people spend time weighing the risks and benefits before making a big decision, and they’re fully informed of the potential downsides before they take action.

7. They Don’t Dwell on the Past
Mentally strong people don’t waste time dwelling on the past and wishing things could be different. They acknowledge their past and can say what they’ve learned from it. However, they don’t constantly relive bad experiences or fantasize about the glory days. Instead, they live for the present and plan for the future.
8. They Don’t Make the Same Mistakes Over and Over
Mentally strong people accept responsibility for their behavior and learn from their past mistakes. As a result, they don’t keep repeating those mistakes over and over. Instead, they move on and make better decisions in the future.
9. They Don’t Resent Other People’s Success
Mentally strong people can appreciate and celebrate other people’s success in life. They don’t grow jealous or feel cheated when others surpass them. Instead, they recognize that success comes with hard work, and they are willing to work hard for their own chance at success.
10. They Don’t Give Up After the First Failure
Mentally strong people don’t view failure as a reason to give up. Instead, they use failure as an opportunity to grow and improve. They are willing to keep trying until they get it right.
11. They Don’t Fear Alone Time
Mentally strong people can tolerate being alone and they don’t fear silence. They aren’t afraid to be alone with their thoughts and they can use downtime to be productive. They enjoy their own company and aren’t dependent on others for companionship and entertainment all the time but instead can be happy alone.
12. They Don’t Feel the World Owes Them Anything
Mentally strong people don’t feel entitled to things in life. They weren’t born with a mentality that others would take care of them or that the world must give them something. Instead, they look for opportunities based on their own merits.
13. They Don’t Expect Immediate Results
Whether they are working on improving their health or getting a new business off the ground, mentally strong people don’t expect immediate results. Instead, they apply their skills and time to the best of their ability and understand that real change takes time.

BBC纪录片:中国是怎样愚弄世界的 BBC Documentary: How China Fooled The World
China is now the second largest economy in the world and for the last 30 years China's economy has been growing at an astonishing rate. While Britain has been in the grip of the worst recession in a generation, China's economic miracle has wowed the world.
It is a story of spending and investment on a scale never seen before in human history -- 30 new airports, 26,000 miles of motorways and a new skyscraper every five days have been built in China in the last five years. But, in a situation eerily reminiscent of what has happened in the west, the vast majority of it has been built on credit.
This has now left the Chinese economy with huge debts and questions over whether much of the money can ever be paid back. Interviewing key players including the former American treasury secretary Henry Paulson, Lord Adair Turner, former chairman of the FSA, and Charlene Chu, a leading Chinese banking analyst, Robert Peston reveals how China's extraordinary spending has left the country with levels of debt that many believe can only end in an economic crash with untold consequences for us all.

1989年5月的一天,当我在天安门广场上抗议示威的人潮中听着人们用国歌-中华人民共和国的国歌去激励他们争取民主的斗志的时候,我不禁慨然自叹了。
有什么能比这情景更自我嘲弄和自我讽刺的了呢? 在一个没有个体概念的文化环境中,人们拿什么去争取民主呢?用一个压迫个体的整体去代替另一个压迫个体的整体吗?“爱国”,去爱一个压迫个人,压迫自身的国家吗?有人半开玩笑的说出了真情:“毛泽东每次用95%的人去整剩下的5%的人,把中国人整了一遍。”“我是为人民服务的,又不是为你服务的”论调在中国到处可闻。“又不是我一个人”和“我一个人有什么用”成了中国几乎每一个人推卸责任与为所欲为的借口。在天安门惨案后的今天,海内外的中国人和关心中国的所有人们都认识到中国应该变。但用什么去变?变向何处?改革的意义在哪?民主的原则又是什么?是用理性之剑去澄清黄河之水,让它为人造福还是再用混浊的感性之泥去给那已经腐朽不堪的黄河之堤修修补补呢?希特勒的国家社会主义,邓小平的中国式现代化,以及中国与世界历代专制者的共同点在哪里呢?
中国人正在选择与拒绝选择的叉路口上:是要以团体为本位的控制型的政治结构,还是要以个体为本位的参与型的政治结构;是要一种个人通过对团体的专权向他人索取的文化心态,还是要一种个人通过对自身的发掘向人类奉献的文化心态;是个体将控制自身的责任推给外界,还是个体将控制自身的责任收归己有;是个人通过对自身的认识,暴露,分析,判断,与调节去想象,创造,完善自身呢,还是个人通过外界给自身贴的标签去做一个一成不变的机器上的螺丝钉呢;是个人用自己的血肉之躯在他人的眼睛中建立存在,还是个人用自己的自知,理性与逻辑给自身的存在下定义;是先形式后内容,先虚后实,先团体后个人的枪赋政权治人,还是先内容后形式,先个人后团体,先实后虚的天赋人权治政;是去追求一个一成不变的完美社会呢,还是去追求一个有自我调节机制,自我追求完善的,道德的但不完美社会呢;总之,是将个人作为一个被动体在混浊的自然与社会环境中拒绝选择,还是将个人作为一个主动体用知觉的武器在澄清自然与社会环境中做出选择。婊子与牌坊是不能并立的。
中国的专制的、大一统的文化是建筑在个人对“国家”(也就是安.兰德女士在“国歌”一书中提到的“我们”)的崇拜上。要击破中国的“朝代”与“人代”的恶性循环,就要击破这个对“国家”,对“我们”的崇拜。否则,中国将来的“民主”也与中国过去的“人民”一样,不过是专制的又一个时髦的代言词罢了。
安-兰德女士(Ayn Rand)在希特勒,斯大林时代的昨天,五十多年以前,就用“国歌”这部神话般美妙的小说一针见血地阐述了“个人与自我是人类社会进步的源泉”这一哲理。她的故事中的许多情节我想是几乎所有的中国人都有其亲身体验的。安.兰德女士用她那富有想象力的,简洁的语言说出了至今大多数中国人(虽然他们已经饱受其害)还没有认识到的简单而又极深刻的哲理。就是那几个简单的字所包融的含义,那几个字:人,个人,我,自我。
“国歌”一书是我在天安门惨案后,在一次为美国的自由党演讲之后,一位关心中国的美国自由党人爱仑.司达所赠送的。我只在此对他深表感谢。
1989年10月
