APEC的全名是什麼？
APEC的完整名稱Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation，其中Asia-Pacific是約定俗成的用法，表示「亞太地區」。Economic是一個形容詞，解釋為「經濟學的」；而economics則是名詞「經濟學」，使用時請記得要加上s，且務必與另一個相關的形容詞economical「省錢的、節約的」區分開來。
「主辦會議」的英文怎麼說？
今年主辦APEC的國家是位於南美洲（South America）的智利，在這裡，「主辦國」的英文說法為hosting country，host原本的意思是「男主人」，「女主人」則是hostess。host若作為動詞，意思則為「主辦；舉辦」。

Combos 主題分享(四) 中篇
🔮命運好好玩 -【什麼是更重要的?🔢】
在上一篇我們知道了要去影響自己的命運，
可以取決於對於F.A.T.E.4⃣個面向的態度，
也就是我們視它們的優先順序與重要程度🔝，
而為什麼這些重要順序可以影響命運呢?
-
💰『金錢』Economical
我們先來看目前我們社會最看重的面向:金錢
沒錯，就是金錢，再進一步思考就是Economical，
所謂的合乎經濟效益，講白話點就是要夠划算😏。
在這個面向中，最容易被探討的問題會類似是:
可以賺多少? / 這CP值高嗎? / 現在有買一送一嗎🆓?
相信都是大家耳熟能詳並且天天都會遇到的問題。
再講清楚一點:
可以賺多少? → (單位時間內的淨值)
這CP值高嗎? → (使用期間內 成本與表現的比例)
現在有買一送一嗎? → (目前優惠的截止日期)
都有一個關鍵且共同的要素；
也剛好是下一個要討論的面向: 時間
-
⏳『時間』Time
一個大家都知道且能感受到、但卻常忽略的🤦♂；
也是在這世道中少數絕對公平的東西⚖，
以金錢來說，永遠都會有人比你更有錢或更窮，
但不管你是男是女；年輕還是年老；是人還是狗，
每個個體都可以擁有一天24小時的時間🕰。
所以相對於金錢，它的價值更高，
因為所有金錢的基礎都必須立足在它之上，
沒有時間概念的金錢，基本上就只是一堆廢紙與數字而已；
不過同樣地，時間它卻也是完全無法控制的🖐，
不論你多麼地努力珍惜🤲，它總是分秒在流失並且一去不復返，
那既然時間無法被掌控，👨🏫為什麼還有所謂的「時間管理」呢?
其實再講具體一點，時間管理指的是"有效地使用時間的能力"，
也就是同樣使用單位時間內所產生的最大效能，
這也是接下來，我們下一個要探討的面向:注意力
-
👁『注意力』Attention
注意力，一個極具價值的東西💎，
相對於時間，它有更高的價值，因為它可以被掌控✊。
然而在這資訊爆炸、📱社群媒體氾濫、
🤳人手一支智慧型手機的年代，
我們的注意力很容易在不自覺中被瓜分得凌亂不堪💢，
👩💼還記得以前有研究出人的專注力平均在40分鐘，
不過我猜在目前的世代，有4分鐘可能就算長了，
(如果現在有讀到這邊，你/妳的注意力已經贏目前大半票的人了)
仔細回想除了去看電影以外，現在何時有超過4分鐘的注意力?
(等於花"金錢"去買電影院內90分鐘的"時間"中的高"注意力"體驗)
然而為什麼在同樣時間內，📈有些人有更高的產值或效能?
因為他們分秒都在高度專注狀態；其他人有一半時間都在分心。
當然在這樣迅速變化的環境下，很容易會有注意力匱乏的症狀，
但是要學會抓回自己的注意力就是自我的責任與義務了💪。
🎚至於如何控制自己的注意力，
就是我們最後一個要研究的面向:自由
-
🧘♂『自由』Freedom
何謂自由? 這邊指的不是為所欲為、無拘無束的意思，
相反地，⚠它代表的是自我控制、極度自律的表現能力，
代表你不會被情緒勒索🤦♀、被慾望掌控👅、被他人左右👥，
它是透過思考🧠與習慣🔁，產生出的一種生活方式與態度，
舉凡閱讀📖/冥想🧘♀/寫作✏/運動⛹♀/凝視👀/呼吸👃/按穴💆♂
都有助於提升自律能力⛓，
讓我們可以去自由地去控制注意力🎛，
它跳脫了金錢、時間的框架，是影響命運最重要的面向🔝，
🆓所謂的財富自由、時間自由，其實就是這個面向的延伸。
-
💡最後我們用養成運動習慣來舉個例
去驗證F.A.T.E.此重要順序的路徑:
🧘♂透過"自律"去抵抗大腦好吃懶做的本性
....➡👁於健身時訓練高度"注意力"的練習
.........➡⏳製造出比別人更多的高效能"時間"
..............➡💰進而在單位時間內有創造出更多"金錢"的可能
而大多數人的重要排序則是完全相反的E.T.A.F.:
..............💰因為最看重"金錢"不肯花錢運動
..........➡⏳也不會花多餘的"時間"去投資自己
.....➡👁更沒有時間去練習"注意力"
➡🧘♂最後無法"控制"思考/情緒/慾望，心理/生理狀態越來越差📉
所以最終還是得:
...............💰去花"金錢"上健身房
..........➡⏳ 付出更多的"時間"去補救
.....➡👁重新開始學習"注意力"
➡🧘♂ 進而去"控制"自己的思考與習慣。
所以說健身其實是在健心與健腦，透過思考與習慣，
♻等於是在不斷地重塑F.A.T.E.重要順序排列的路徑。
下一篇我將以更多實例與運用來讓大家了解到F.A.T.E的威力！
🔜(未完待續)
📝Takeaways:
1. 自由 > 注意力 > 時間 > 金錢
2. 自由在於自我控制與自律能力
3. 自由程度越高，越能掌控注意力，進而跳脫時間/金錢的框架。
《米桶發財法》(English version below)
STRIKING RICH WITH THE RICE BIN
年少時，吾突然意思到，吾的身段似乎「過於苗條」了，是時候讓它「蓬勃發展」。一來，能保護身邊的人，二來，在整體上，較爲健康，較爲好看些。於是，吾在食量上加倍，向同班同學借來一對九公斤重的啞鈴，勤做仰臥起坐、伏地挺身，以及使用其他運動器材。這些是吾室內強身健體的部份。至於室外的部份，較常較多的當屬游泳了。當年吾最喜用蛙式與蝶式，且每一次來回，喜「上岸」做仰臥起坐，及伏地挺身。吾不敢說吾的身材有多好多好，可確實有男女稱讚過，也起碼沒有多餘的贅肉。
除了室內室外的強身健體以外，吾還有一種獨特增強體魄的方法，那就是扛米。是的，妳你們沒聽錯，吾也沒搞錯。家父是位智慧型的嚴父，對他真的是又敬又怕。有一天吾鼓起勇氣，向他說吾想去幫家裡買米，他卻微笑的應允。這也是吾降生娑婆世間，首次體驗十公斤重，左右手各扛五公斤米的滋味。再加上那段路段來回，彷彿心中有首非常著名的詩在吟著，那即是：
鋤禾日當午，
汗滴禾下土。
誰知盤中餐，
粒粒皆辛苦。（一笑）
這種滋味實在是有夠勁！回到家時，家父依然微笑以對。雖然這初次買米的覺受，既新鮮又「夠勁」，吾並沒有退縮的心念，吾認爲這是很好的回報機會，也確實達於強健體魄。
吾，玳瑚師父，忠心祝願大家智慧增長，能辨別真偽，破除邪說歪道，無有恐怖，無顛倒妄想，快樂自在，究竟離苦。好些著重於外表的人，爲了擁有曼妙的身段，得以達於人衣合一的境界，（一笑）破釜沉舟式「棄米投美」，尤其是女有情眾。事實是她們不懂米，對於人體的益處。米是含著天上的甘露，地中的靈氣而生，是人類生存能量重要的來源。它可用來解毒、除煞、化煞、開光、治病、美容、護膚等等。很多女性瘦身減肥後，成功後身體卻有恙，原因雖有幾個，但不離因沒食米飯。潮州多出美女是事實，潮州美女的特徵在鳳眼膚白。爲什麼？因爲潮州人多以粥，及清蒸食物爲飲食習慣。米所含之豐富礦物質，乃人體所需重要礦物質。
米的種類有多種，一般我們較常看見的有，珍珠米、印度米、泰國香米、糙米、糯米，等等。這些米種皆有它們各自所屬之五行。若妳你確實清楚，妳你本身所需之喜用神，妳你可以選購旺妳你的米種，天天食之天天旺。這招本是發財的第一步，如此簡單如此實惠，可憐愚夫愚婦迷信不通，花巨額亂搞瞎搞的，搞了精疲力盡，始終搞慘自己及家人。如今吾，玳瑚師父，憐憫眾生而傳授此法，願得者利己亦利她他，多積陰德才好。買對了米，就將米用木質米桶裝起，再貼上一個滿字於米桶外。這是發財第二招。若妳你想將米桶置於櫥櫃的外上方，就請妳你將米桶隔離窗口，較聚氣處爲好。這是發財第三招。米桶發財法，人人能做，家家戶戶能做。豐衣足食的日子，已不遠啦！
............................
When I was still a youth, one day, I suddenly realized that I was perhaps too thin and it was time to beef up my physique. Firstly, I would be able to protect the people around me, and also look better and healthier on the whole. Thus, I increased my food intake, borrowed a pair of 9kg dumbbells from my classmate, diligently did push-ups and sit-ups, as well as used other exercising equipment. These were my indoor exercises. As for my outdoor activities, I mostly and frequently did swimming. My favorite strokes in the pool then were breast-stroke and the butterfly stroke. After every lap, I liked to get onto dry land and do sit-ups and push-ups. I dare not say how great my body was, however I did received praises from other men and women. At the very least, I did not have excess fat hanging off me.
Besides those indoor and outdoor body-building activities, I also had a special training method: carry rice sacks. Yes, you heard it correct. My father was an intelligent but strict disciplinarian, and I was often afraid yet in awe of him. One day, I summoned my courage and told him that I would like to help buy rice for the household. He agreed with a slight smile. Ever since my birth into this Samsara world, this was my first time experiencing the weight of lifting 10kg rice, with my left and right hands carrying 5kg respectively. Coupled with the journey to and fro, a famous Chinese poem seemed to sing from my heart:
Neath the midday sun he hoes his crops
His sweat moistens the soil between the stalks
Of food on the table who recalls
Each grain is produced through bitter toil
This experience was indeed something! As I got home, my dad still greeted me with a slight smile. Although my first experience of buying rice was refreshing and tough, I did not have any thought of backing off. I considered it as a good opportunity to repay my parents, and to strengthen my physique at the same time.
Master Dai Hu sincerely wish that everyone would gain wisdom and discern the true from the false, destroy evil speech and dishonest practices, not have fear and deranged delusions, have bliss and freedom and finally leave the realm of sufferings. There are many people who place a huge self-importance on their physical appearance. To have a graceful figure so as to reach the level of being one with their clothing, (laughs), they would burn their boats and forsake eating rice, all in the name of beauty. This is especially common among the ladies. The fact is that these ladies do not understand the benefits of eating rice for the human body.
The rice grain is birthed from the dew of Heaven and the spiritual qi of earth. It is an important source of survival energy for humans. It can serve as an antidote to poison, for removal and transformation of vile energies, consecration, curing of illnesses, beauty care, skincare, etc. After losing weight successfully, many ladies get stricken with ailments. Although there are several reasons to this, it is not far from not consuming rice. The city of Chao Zhou is famed for producing beauties, renowned for their distinctive elegant and almond-shaped eyes and porcelain skins. Why is that so? Because rice porridge and steamed food are staple foods of the people in Chao Zhou. The rice minerals prevalent in rice are vital minerals that the human body needs.
There are numerous types of rice, with the commonly seen grains like the pearl rice, Indian basmati rice, the Thai jasmine rice, brown rice, glutinous rice, etc. These various grains each have their own elemental types. If you are very clear about your favourable elements in your Bazi, you can purchase the suitable grain type, to gain prosperity everyday through your daily consumption. This is the first technique to striking great wealth. It is simple yet brings practical benefits. I pity the misbelieving men and women, who spent huge money only to act ignorantly, get drained of energy, and at the end, brought nothing but trouble to themselves and their families.
Today, I, Master Dai Hu, impart this method out of compassion for the sentient beings, and hope that those who benefits pay it forward to accumulate more hidden merits. After purchasing the right type of grains, store it in a wooden rice bin, and paste a paper, with the Chinese character "滿" written on it, onto the bin exterior. This is the second technique to more riches.
If you wish to place the rice bin on top of a cabinet, please place it away from the window, even better if it is at a spot that can accumulate Qi. This is the third step to greater wealth. This method of striking riches with your rice bin is applicable for everyone and every household. Get ready to welcome the days of great harvest and rice clothing!
