10月28日 追求自由,我们需要两个条件和ff上完课,找到一家吃地道新疆菜的地方吃饭。边吃边聊,不知怎么就说到了关于自由的问题,ff说:我们两个都是追求自由的人,不过自由需要有两个前提作保障,第一个是财务,第二个是身体。为了自由,我们有时候不得不先忍受一些委屈和辛苦,只是这其中的程度就是每个人所不同的了。 最近做过一个调查,你得财务自由的目标是多少?选项是从100万到1000万。我在这个题目前犹豫了很久:到底我们的财务自由是多少?原来一直梦想中了500万就自由了,可如果认真的算算,好像100万也可以,1000万也不见得够。什么才是真真的财务自由,是再不用工作就可以无忧无虑的随意满足自己的物质需要,还是能够有适当的闲钱让自己的生活过的更好?我不知道,也许某一天要去找一本财务自由的书认真来看看。 10月20日 新豪斯汀自助餐和保龄球10月16日 2号小白鼠10月8日 这两天格局散乱,前方不明盛世有机会,乱世也有机会. 区别在于, 机会在不同的时间给了不同的人. 10月5日 天冷得时候来一锅新疆羊肉汤10月4日 带着回忆的Mouton Cadet红酒决定把这瓶放了好久的03年份的Mouton Cadet(木桐嘉棣)干红开来喝掉。说它是一瓶带着回忆的红酒是因为它代表了我的一段打工的经历。 还记得在那个夏天,我们的封闭训练,几十号人住在一个学校的招待所里,不允许随便出去,每天都有新的功课要做,新的内容要背,新的东西要练习,每几天有一次考试,就会有几个兄弟被淘汰。听起来好像是做什么一样,其实是一家马上要开业的高级西餐厅的waiter,呵呵。后来,开业以后,我就和吧台的兄弟们经常偷喝客人的酒,当时偷喝最多的就是这款,因为是作为这家餐厅的公司酒推出的,另外也有机会偷喝到了拉菲红:D。偷喝酒绝不会是斟来慢慢观色闻香细品的,都是匆匆忙忙的猛灌几大口~~也就是从那个时候起,发现干红其实也是蛮好喝的,开始爱上干红。 去年的一天在hola买东西的时候,忽然瞅到了这瓶酒,一时冲动就买了回来,一直没有开,放在那里,偶尔看到了就会想起以前的一些有趣的事情。这支酒并不是一支适合长时间存放的酒,所以,在今天,在满满一肚子烤鸭的幸福之中,我决定喝掉它。 当熟悉的酒香冲进我的鼻子里的时候,以前的事情又好像照片一样,一张张闪过,开心的事情,辛苦的夏天。 以下是酒标介绍:带着忧郁香气的木桐嘉棣,是波尔多几个优良产区的结合,忠于原貌的酿酒传统和严格的标准,带出了他的丰富内涵和无穷变化。 以下是我的感受:深红色略带点紫的酒体,清新甜美的果香,非常适口,很平衡,酸、涩都很少。回味略为平淡。和圣克里斯城堡属于一种感觉的酒,但是比圣克里斯城堡那支感觉要年轻一些,清爽一些。 价格在一百几十块,麦德龙等超市有卖。 10月2日 一部没有看过原著的电影“The Ultimate Gift”这部电影是一部关于成长、关于改变、关于爱的电影,在我看完以后才知道是由畅销小说改编而来的。因为没有任何的期许,所以比较客观的说,这是一部我打6分的电影,就是可以看,会有一些收获和感触,但是不要指望它能感动你的电影。也许有机会我们看看原版小说会更好。 结尾部分可以说是处理的最不好的部分,有点画蛇添足的味道。中间的有些情节很生硬,感觉是为了说故事而塞进去的。电影的亮点在可爱的Emily身上,但是这个角色在电影里也和整个风格不太搭。下面是一篇影评,我觉得是比较客观的介绍了整个影片的内容。 It is easy to imagine a world in which everyone always makes the right choices and our children and grandchildren live responsible, blessed lives. Yet the truth is that no one lives such an ideal life. Instead, we try to make up for the mistakes we make in a multitude of ways with some of us even using our wills as last resort instruments of healing or manipulation after we have died. That is the case for this film,“The Ultimate Gift”. The story begins with the videotaped will of Red Stevens to be played upon his death by his long-time friend and lawyer Ted. Having lost his relationship with all of his children and grandchildren for various reasons, Red tries to reach his grandson Jason by offering him a series of twelve “gifts” that require him to grow emotionally, financially, relationally and spiritually. At first reticent to make such a journey since the “ultimate gift” is unknown, Jason accepts the first gift not knowing that it is to be the gift of knowing the value of a hard day’s work. Flying him down to Texas where Red’s old friend Gus has a huge ranch, Jason discovers both the satisfaction of work and the value of a paycheck, although he resents it at first. The other “gifts” take Jason on a journey of self-discovery that can only be described as miraculous. Along the way he serendipitously, perhaps, comes across an impertinent young girl and her endearing mother. Emily and her mother Alexia are destitute due to a variety of difficulties they face. But it is in this chance encounter that true healing and the gift of family come to Jason. The film strikes just the right chords as we experience both the joy and the pain of Jason’s journey. It is easy to cry with him as he realizes the truth about his father and it is easy to rejoice with him when he discovers his ability to grant people their dreams. But what is hinted at in the film which gives it substance is the faith of Emily and Alexia in God and Jason’s awareness that a place of worship is needed in every person’s life, especially those going through difficult times. Though we won’t disclose the “ultimate gift,” it is in some ways a disappointing but predictable conclusion of the film. Only when we become free from the “love of money” are we able to actually use money for its intended purpose: to care for people in their time of need. That is a gift-lesson we all need to learn. |
