Slow me down Lord 主,讓我慢下來

Slow me down Lord - by Wilfred Arlan Peterson 

Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind.

Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal march of time.

Give me amid the confusion of the day, the calmness of the eternal hills.

Break the tension of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the singing streams that live in my memory.

Help me to know the magical restoring power of sleep.

Teach me the art of taking minute vacations - of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to read a few lines of a good book.

Slow me down Lord and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life's enduring values that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny. 

主, 讓我慢下來 - 王英偉 阿蘭 彼得森

讓我安靜的腦海紓緩我心裡的衝擊。
在永恆的時間旅程裡讓我匆匆的腳步變得穩定 。

讓平靜的永恆的小山驅散哪混亂的一天。
讓我記憶中舒緩的音樂去打破我的神經和肌肉的緊張。
幫助我知道睡眠的神奇恢復能力。

教我用一分鐘假期的藝術 - 放慢看一朵花，與朋友聊天，拍拍狗，讀幾行一本好書。

主, 讓我慢下來，激勵我讓我的根深深地扎入人生永恆價值的土壤，讓我可朝著更大的宿命成長。

ESXi 5.1 esxcli network commands

If you want to change the vmkernel (or the management network IP) using command lines, here is the tips and steps;

ESX Console 

1. logon to the console screen of the ESXi 5.1 Server
2. press F2 to customize system
3. enter login name as root
4. enter your root password
5. On the System Customization screen select "Troubleshooting Option"
6. Enable ESXi shell
7. If you wnat to execute remotely then Enable SSH 
8. press ESC 2 times to return to the Main Screen
9. press ALT F1 to goto the console screen
10. login as root with password, then you will see the command prompt "~ #"

Command Line
On the command line, list the  network adapters like below for checking;

~ # esxcli network nic list
Name    PCI Device     Driver  Link  Speed  Duplex  MAC Address         MTU  Description
------  -------------  ------  ----  -----  ------  -----------------  ----  --------------------------------------------------------
vmnic0  0000:003:00.0  tg3     Up     1000  Full    00:23:7d:df:9d:3a  1500  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715S Gigabit Ethernet
vmnic1  0000:003:00.1  tg3     Up     1000  Full    00:23:7d:df:9d:3e  1500  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715S Gigabit Ethernet

First change vmnic1, (DON't change vmnic0 because this is your current connection if using remote ssh)
To change vmnic1 settings, please use below syntax;

Usage: esxcli network ip interface ipv4 set [cmd options]

Description:
  set                   Configure IPv4 setting for a given VMkernel network interface.

Cmd options:
  -i|--interface-name=<str>
The name of the VMkernel network interface to set IPv4 settings for. This name must be an interface listed in the interface list command. (required)
  -I|--ipv4=<str>       
The static IPv4 address for this interface.
  -N|--netmask=<str>    
The static IPv4 netmask for this interface.
  -P|--peer-dns         
A boolean value to indicate if the system should use the DNS settings published via DHCP for this interface.
  -t|--type=<str>       
IPv4 Address type :      dhcp: Use DHCP to aquire IPv4 setting for this interface.     none: Remove IPv4 settings form this interface.     static: Set Static IPv4 information for this interface. Requires --ipv4 and --netmask options. required)

for example to change the adapter vmk1 settings to use static IPV4, IP address and netmask is 172.17.23.35 255.255.255.0
use below command;

~ # esxcli network ip interface ipv4 set -i vmk1 -I 172.17.23.35 -N 255.255.255.0 -t static

then list the gateway for checking;

~ # esxcli network ip route list

next, change the gateway;

~ # esxcli network ip route ipv4 add -g 172.17.23.1 -n default

when you are ready to change the first adapter vmk0, use the same command syntax; 
for example IP address and netmask is 172.17.23.25 255.255.255.0

~ # esxcli network ip interface ipv4 set -i vmk0 -I 172.17.23.25 -N 255.255.255.0 -t static

again, change the gateway;

~ # esxcli network ip route ipv4 add -g 172.17.23.1 -n default

Test by pinging the 2 IP addresses above from another machine to see if both vmk0 and vmk1 are responding correctly.

Last thing to do, remember to update your internal DNS to point to the right IP address of the ESXi server.
Also go back to the console screen of the ESX server, exit the shell and disable ESXi shell.

Copy Blackberry contacts

Want to copy /transfer Blackberry contacts, notes, calendar, tasks ... etc from one Blackberry phone to another?
Most people will answer below :

1. for contacts, copy from Blackberry address book to the SIM card, then put the SIM card into the new phone and start import from the SIM
2. for contacts, notes, calendar, tasks ... etc, you can sync to the outlook from one Blackberry phone to the PC, then sync them back from PC to another Blackberry phone

癌症病患-酸性,鹼性體質

三十多年前有一位服務於公賣局台北啤酒廠的 張 先生，參加該啤酒場  選派技術人員到國外深造的考試，以優異的成績及格。在出國前經某公立醫院體檢發現，罹患有像小孩拳頭大小的肺部腫瘤，因而不能出國。 張先生非常失望之餘，一直懷疑診斷有誤；於是再到另一家醫院檢查，結果還是證實原來的診斷並無錯誤。

當時年輕力壯的 張 先生得到這樣的絕症，在人生絕望之餘，多次打電話給當時任職台東縣政府黃順興縣長機要秘書的魏姓同學。魏姓同學便利用星期日趕到台北 和張 先生見面，張先生向魏同學詳述相關絕望的詳情和悲觀感受，並請位同學協助其後事，恰逢魏同學與前任馬偕醫院院長1949－55年專精於癌症臨床研究的 呂革令 博士）係知交好友。

當即建議前往訪求 呂 博士醫治，起初 張 先生說不願再看醫生，以免徒增傷悲；但魏同學說先前已以電話請教過 呂 博士並安排好時間， 張先生只好偕同前往 呂 博士住處造訪。

 呂博士 和張 先生見面就說：
「 魏 先生是我的好友，介紹你和我認識是我們緣份，感謝  上帝賜給我們這個機會；
我請教你：『癌為什麼叫絕症，你可知道嗎？』」 張先生 和魏 先生都不知道如何作答。

 呂博士又說：
「人類醫治癌症到目前為止只有兩條路，第一條路是消滅病源，第二條路是增加抵抗力。 但很奇怪的是，癌無論用鈷60或其他藥物去消滅癌細胞，可是癌細胞還沒被消滅，好的細胞卻先被殺死。另無論用什麼營養、補藥，好的細胞還未吸收，癌細胞卻先吸收、讓癌長得更快；因此可說上述兩條路都行不通、所以叫絕症。」

 呂博士又說：
「人類的聰明連登陸月球也都已經成功，但為什麼沒有人去懷疑上述兩條治癌的路是在鑽牛角尖，另外找第三條路？
感謝上帝賜給我以往在馬偕醫  院做癌症方面的臨床實驗，並得院內各部同仁協助的機會，
我發現癌症病人血液檢查的結果百分之百都是酸性反應。長期素食、且生活接近然的佛寺僧尼，由於體質都偏屬優質弱鹼性，所以尚沒有發現罹患癌症的病例。

因此我大膽的斷定在弱鹼性體質的狀態下，癌細胞是無法生長、甚至是無法生存的。
張先生我建議你從現在起少吃酸性的葷食類，多吃鹼性食物，另外可吃綠藻和帶殼菱角湯，改變你的體質，並勵行接近自然的良好生活規律；如果五年內不死、你就沒問題了，願上帝祝福你。」

張先生依照 呂 博士的建議，認真改變吃的習慣，每天又吃綠藻、喝菱角湯，樂觀加上每天適當的運動，一年後再到同一公立醫院檢查結果，發現腫瘤不但沒有長大、反而已呈現萎縮狀態，遂令醫院檢查人員驚為奇蹟，五年後竟完全處於萎縮、至近於消失狀態。

經過了將近四十年歲月，現在 張 先生的健康情況完全正常，生活起居甚為愉快。繼 張 先生之後， 有位前台東省立醫院總務課長 陳添壽 先生，同樣得到肺癌； 魏先生得知 後將張 先生的經過轉告 陳添壽 先生， 陳先生乃依照 呂 博士的建議進行改變體質，結果與 張 先生同樣癒癌症。

那時呂博士全家已移民美國，事 後呂 博士回來台灣再與 魏 先生見面時，魏先生將 張 先生 和陳 先生的經過告訴 呂 博士， 並提議由他們倆位親自 向呂 博士陳述，請 呂 博士發表其改變體質之自療成果報告。

 呂博士謙虛地回答說：
「我年事已大，!  且沒有臨床紀錄不能做為成果。請 魏 先生轉告親友，如果友人認同的話，請他們繼續做體驗並廣為宣導，感謝上帝.........。」

關心自己也要關心別人，
85﹪癌症病患屬於酸性體質
＊健康人的血液是成弱鹼性的，約是PH7.35∼7.45左右
＊嬰兒也是屬於弱鹼性的體質
＊成長期的成人有體質酸化的現象
根據一項六百位癌症病人體液分佈的研究，
顯示85﹪癌症病患屬於酸性體質。
因此，如何使體質維持在弱鹼性就是遠離疾病的第一步。
∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼
酸性體質的生理表徵
1.皮膚無光澤。
2.香港腳。
3.稍做運動即感疲勞，一上公車便想睡覺。
4.上下樓梯容易氣喘。
5.肥胖、下腹突出。
6.步伐緩慢、動作遲緩。
∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼
為什麼會形成酸性體質？

1.過度攝取乳酸性食品
a）肉類、乳酪製品與蛋、牛肉、火腿等皆屬於酸性食品。
b）攝取過量的酸性食品血液會傾向酸性而變黏稠，不易流到細血管的末稍，而易造成手腳或膝蓋的冷寒症，以及肩膀僵硬和失眠等。
c）年輕力壯時吃適量的肉類是對的，但老年人則以蔬菜或小魚為宜。

2.生活步調失常會造成酸性體質
a）生活步調失常會造成精神與肉體的壓力。
b）據統計，晚睡者罹患癌症的機率比正常人高出五倍。
c）人類本來就活在節奏的世界裡，無法事先儲備睡眠或飲食，也不能日夜顛倒。
d）人體內臟受自律神經控制，白天主要是交感神經活動，晚上則由副交感神經工作，若使其錯亂及倒置，就亦百病滋生。

3.情緒過於緊張
a）文明社會會造成的壓力。
b）工作上或精神上的壓力。
c）當一個人承受精神壓力後，一旦緊張鬆弛，時會造成猝死，稱為潛在性副腎皮質機能不全症。

4.肉體的緊張
a）動手術之前應先檢查腎上腺皮質機能是否正常。如果副腎皮質機能較差， 或手術壓力遠超過副腎調整功能，則可能造成病人死亡或其他不良影響。
b）若發現病患臉部浮腫，需詳加詢問病史及服藥狀況，為長期服用腎上腺皮質賀爾蒙者，施以針灸要特別注意反應。
c）勞動或運動過度，通宵打牌、開車等壓力都應盡量避免。

Stroke 中風

A friend once fell down suddenly in a BBQ party.
People around suggested her go to the hospital, But she reassured that nothing's wrong with herself, except having fallen down due stepping on a piece of brick in a pair of new shoes.
While she was still shivering, not standing firm, Friends helped her clean up her body, and got a plate of food for her, So afterwards, she happily enjoyed the rest of time with the company.
Later on, her husband called to tell these friends, She has been sent to the hospital at last, and she passed away at 6 PM only,

Which cause was a stroke to her during the BBQ party.
If they know how to identify the symptoms of a stroke, She might still be staying with us ......
Some people do not die, However the result is in even helpless and disparate condition.
It only takes one minute to read this article.

A neurosurgeon says :
If he can reach a patient in 3 hours after a stroke attack, He can alter the stroke consequences completely. The trick is how to diagnose a stroke, And let the patient have treatment within 3 hours after a stroke. But this is very difficult.

To diagnose a stroke
Thank god for allowing us to remember 3 simple steps : STR
Please read and learn ! Sometimes it's not easy to identify a stroke,
Yet unfortunately, it will bring disaster without proper alert.
If people around a stroke patient are not able to tell a stroke, The stroke patient will suffer from serious brain injury.

A doctor says, if surrounding people can just ask 3 simple questions,
It is possible to diagnose a stroke.
S ： (smile)
Ask the patient to smile

T ： (talk)
Request the patient say a simple sentence (must be reasonable and consecutive)，e.g. The weather is sunny today.

R ： (raise)
Ask the patient to raise both hands at the same time

One more diagnose method of stroke is : Tell the patient to extrude his tongue. If the tongue is bending or leaning towards one side, that is also a symptom of stroke.

Above are 4 steps. In case a patient can't do either one of such
gestures, you should dial 999 !!!


有個朋友，在一次烤肉聚會當中絆倒了，摔了一跤，

旁邊的朋友建議找醫護人員，但她很確定自己沒事， 只是穿了新鞋被磚塊絆了一下罷了。
她還有點危危顫顫站立不穩的時候，朋友們幫她清洗乾淨， 又為她盛了一盤食物，
她就跟著大家一起享受接下來的時光了。
她的先生後來打電話通知大家，她被送到醫院，傍晚六點，就過世了，

原因是她在烤肉聚餐的時候中風。
如果他們懂得辨識中風的癥兆，她現在也許還跟我們在一起。
有些人不會死，但結局處於無助無望的景況中。只需要花一分鐘的時間讀完這篇文章，

腦神經外科醫師說，
如果他能在三小時之內接觸到中風患者，他就可以將中風的後果完全扭轉過來。
訣竅就是辨識診斷出中風的問題，並讓病患在三小時之內接受醫療，
而這是很難的。

辨識中風
感謝上帝讓我們記住 STR 三步驟，
請閱讀並學習 !
有時候中風的癥兆很難辨認，不幸的是，缺乏警覺就會帶來災難。
身邊的人辨認不出中風的徵兆，中風患者就會嚴重腦傷。

醫生說，旁人只要問三個簡單的問題，
就可以辨識中風：
要求患者笑一下
要求患者說一句簡單的句子 (要有條理，有連貫性)，例如：今天天氣晴朗。
要求 患者舉起雙手
注意 Note：另外一項中風癥兆是： 要求患者伸出舌頭，如果舌頭「彎曲」或偏向一
邊，那也是中風的徵兆

上面四個動作，患者如果有任何一個動作做不來，就要立刻打 999 ！！！並且把症狀描述給接線者聽。

4 things that you cannot recover

A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport.

As she would need to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies.

She sat down in an armchair, in the VIP room of the airport, to rest and read in peace.

Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat, opened his magazine and started reading.

When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought What a nerve! If I was in the mood I would punch him for daring!

For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was infuriating her but she didn't want to cause a scene.

When only one cookie remained, she thought: "ah What is this abusive man going to do now?
Then, the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one half.

Ah! That was too much! She was much too angry now! In a huff, she took her book, her things and stormed to the boarding place.

When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her purse to take her eyeglasses, and, to her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened!

She felt so ashamed!! She realized that she was wrong...

She had forgotten that her cookies were kept in her purse.

The man had divided his cookies with her, without feeling angered or bitter.

...while she had been very angry, thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him.

And now there was no chance to explain herself ... nor to apologize.

The moral of the story...

There are 4 things that you cannot recover.

The Stone after the throw!
The word after it's said!
The occasion after the loss!
The time after it's gone!

When computer experts get bored

When Computer Experts Get Bored ... They Create Stuff Like This!!!  Or this...

Heaven and Hell

A Holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.'

The Lord led the holy man to two doors.
He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.
In the middle of the room was a large round table..
In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.
They appeared to be famished..
They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.
But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths..
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.

The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell..

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one.
There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water.
The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The holy man said, 'I don't understand.

'It is simple,' said the Lord. 'It requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other.
The greedy think only of themselves.'

睡覺 枕頭 睡姿 熬夜

【正確的睡姿】

睡眠是身體休息放鬆的時候。為確保正確的睡姿，應注意以下幾項要點：
1．脊骨的承托：脊骨是否受到有效的承托是影響睡眠質素的其中一個主要因素。一套良好的床上設備和正確的睡姿能讓肌肉放鬆，讓椎間盤（軟骨）吸收水份，使脊骨能在日間有效地運作。
2．局部血液不循環：當身體某部份在接觸床墊被壓住時，便會產生一些刺激神經線的代謝物質。身體會在這些位置未致於痛楚前自動轉換睡姿。但在一些需要長期臥床而又不便轉動的病人當中，局部血液不循環往往會引致褥瘡。因此，一般人每晚會轉換睡姿大約二十次。而一套能充份承托身體而又不太硬或太軟的床墊則有助於減低轉換睡姿的次數，從而改善睡眠的質素。
3．如何評估你的床墊：由於人體大部份的重量集中於臀部，這部份床墊的損耗亦最高。檢查你的床墊有否下陷的部份。如有的話，仰睡時便會令椎間盤前方的壓力增加，又或在側睡時增加腰部的扭曲程度。有些床墊在盤骨位置增設承托力：而一些含感溫活性粒子的床墊更能將身體的重量平均地分配在整個床墊的而積上。最後，一個好的枕頭應能夠承托頸部，保持頸椎的弧度和頭部中
性的位置。
4．睡眠要充足：睡眠會除著年紀增加而改變。如老年人的睡眠時間通常此較短：轉換睡姿次數此較少,而且有慣性的睡姿（如慣性向右側睡，這可能山於減少肝臟重量壓著胃部及肺部），又以俯睡最為罕見。研究指出一般人通常每晚需要四個眼球快速運動(R．E．M．）的睡眠週期來重組大腦的記憶系統。每週期為45分鐘。所以有些人只需四小時的睡眠便足夠。但一般人需要六小時的睡眠來使精神及身體機能得到充份的休息。
5．怎樣的睡觀販脊骨得到最佳的承托？一般來說，仰睡能提供脊骨最佳的承托能力，因身體量能平均地分配於一個較大的而積上。在有足夠的頭及頸部承托的情況下，側睡亦是一個不錯的睡姿。您可以根據自己的身體狀況，選擇對應的睡姿。

(1).仰臥 : 據了解有60％的人選擇仰臥睡姿，這也是醫生推薦的最佳大眾睡姿。優點：不壓迫身體臟腑器官。缺點：容易導致舌根下墜，阻塞呼吸。不適應人群：打鼾和有呼吸道疾病的人。

(2).俯臥 : 5％的人選擇俯臥，趴著睡覺。優點：醫生指出，采用這種睡姿的人睡覺時會感到安全，也有助于口腔異物的排出；同時對腰椎有毛病的人有好處。缺點：壓迫心臟和肺部，影響呼吸，患有心臟病、高血壓、腦血栓的人不易選擇俯臥。
(3).左側臥 : 醫生認為，這種睡姿容易讓人在睡覺時翻來覆去，產生不穩定的睡眠。而且，由于人體心臟位于身體左側，左側臥會壓迫心臟，所以它是一種很不健康的睡姿。優點：無 。缺點：壓迫心臟、胃部，尤其對于患有胃病、急性肝病、膽結石的患者不易采用左側臥。
(4).右側臥 : 有25％的人在睡覺時會朝向右側。優點：不會壓迫心臟，睡眠有穩定感。缺點：影響右側肺部運動，不適合肺氣腫的患者。

【怎麼「枕」才無憂 】

古人說「高枕無憂」，但現代醫學認為，枕頭太高或太低，對頸椎都不好，墊錯位置更會出問題，短期可能痠痛不舒服，長期則難逃挨刀大手術。新竹市復健科診所醫師張辰光表示，睡眠時如何正確的墊枕頭非常重要，枕頭一定要墊到脖子處。民眾可自我測試，當躺下時，下巴最低處若朝天，就表示枕頭太低，若下巴往下壓，即枕頭太高，下巴應該保持水平，才是舒服且正確的枕頭高度。
張辰光表示，睡眠佔人生的三分之一時間，姿勢不可不慎。 像有些家長以為讓孩子睡硬板床，骨頭才會長得正。 其實人體臀部、腰部、肩膀三處的肉多少不同，硬板床會讓身體曲線處不能貼到床面，以致不能放鬆休息，不舒服也不健康。 他說，還有很多人習慣不墊枕頭，睡覺時頭會向後仰，頸椎承受的壓力比向前仰時還高出一倍，長期下來，一定會出問題。至於枕頭的高低，年輕人可稍低，年紀大後要稍高些，因為頸椎的柔軟度會隨年齡改變，愈老愈僵硬，就需要更多的支持。
張辰光建議，平睡（仰姿）時，枕頭要剛好從整個頭部一直墊到脖子，不能墊到肩膀，更不能只墊到後腦一半之處，膝下最好安置一個小枕頭；側睡時高度要加高一倍，兩膝間也要夾個小枕頭；趴睡最好避免，因為頸椎會承受過大壓力；起床時則要記得先側姿，手扶著起來，再下床，不要直接仰臥著就坐直起身。
他特別強調，不論姿勢再怎麼正確，固定太久都不宜，久了一定要換一換，睡覺要翻身，坐久要站起來動一動，脊椎才能保養好。 中國醫藥大學附設醫院復健科主治醫生楊珮瑜也表示，睡姿不好往往引發頸肩肌肉痠痛或頭痛，嚴重者還會胸悶。

【睡覺的禁忌】

一.不要仰睡：
避免手放在胸部，壓迫心肺，而且仰臥時舌根部往後墜縮，影響呼吸，容易發出鼾聲。
二.不要睡前思緒萬千：
宋代蔡季通〈睡訣〉中說：「早晚以時，先睡心，後睡眼」。現代研究約80%的失眠是精神疾病所造成。換句話說睡前不要讀理科的東西！
三.不要說話： 孔子云：「食不言，寢不語」，睡前嘮叨不絕會使思緒興奮，不得安寧，因而影響入睡。
四.不要開大燈：
中國傳統醫學認為，從寤入寐，進入睡眠狀態，是個引陽入陰的過程。醒時屬陽，睡時屬陰，光亮屬陽，黑暗屬陰。而晚上睡覺開亮燈會影響睡眠品質，所以最好養成晚上睡覺時開小夜燈的習慣。
五.不要蒙面睡：
因為睡覺時用被子蒙住頭面，會使人吸入大量的二氧化碳，發生呼吸困難。
六.不要吹風而睡：
古書記載：當風「恐患頭風，背受風則嗽，肩受風則臂疼，善調攝者，雖盛暑不可當風及坐臥露下。」現代生活中的電風扇，在睡眠中亦當小心，因為人在睡眠中，生理機能較低，抵抗力較弱。
七.不要飲酒飽食：
古人認為「胃不和則臥不安」，現代則認為睡前三小時不進食，可使胃部獲得充份休息，一杯熱牛奶可免因飢餓而睡不好。喝少量的酒，則可以鬆弛減少緊張。
八.不要張口呼吸：
古代藥王孫思邈說：「夜臥常習閉口」因為張口呼吸，空氣未經鼻腔「預熱」、「過濾」處理，容易引起咽乾咳嗽或其它感染。
九.不要睡中忍便： 憋尿忍便對人體均有害處,也會影響睡眠。
十.不要貪睡懶覺：
中國的早有「早睡早起」「久臥傷氣」的告誡，故而睡眠應以醒為度，睡懶覺對人體是有害的。但是睡覺應該依照四季調度，春夏宜晚睡早起、秋天早睡早起、冬天早睡晚起！

人一生有三分之一的時間都花在床上，可見睡眠在我們的生活中佔了一個很重要的部分.所以要特別重視!!現在生活忙碌的人很多以上方法要記得.很有效 !!

【熬夜的壞處多】
1.精神狀況不佳
相信很多人都有過這樣的經驗，當前晚有熬夜時，隔天上班或上課時就容易有注意力不集中、頭昏腦脹、甚至在太陽穴的周圍容易發生頭痛等問題。
2.生育率下降
經常熬夜、作息不正常者，也容易導致不易受孕。這是因為在男性方面，減少精蟲的數量及活動力。對女性也容易影響荷爾蒙的分泌及卵子的品質呢！
3.免疫力下降
經常處於工作超時、疲勞、精神不濟下，人的免疫力也會跟著往下降。除了在感覺上比一般人蒼老得快，體檢報告也會告訴你許多地方都亮起紅燈。此外，腎上腺素等激素分泌量也比常人高，新陳代謝的壓力大增，成人慢性病的罹患率也隨之增加。流行性感冒、胃腸感染、過敏等等的自律神經失調自然也會找上你！
4.皮膚乾燥、黑斑、青春痘
也有很多人曾懷疑過為什麼該塗該抹的都已經使用了，但為什麼還是無法得到一個亮麗的皮膚呢？這時，你可能就得要問問自己，是否有做到好好的利用美容睡覺時間囉 ！因為在晚上的11點到凌晨3點，這段時間人體的經脈運行到膽肝，如果這兩個器官沒有獲得充分的休息，就容易表現在肌膚上了。
5.黑眼圈、眼袋
當處於正常的生理休息時間卻沒有適時休息，就容易因眼睛過度疲勞，而造成眼睛的周圍血液循環不良，引起黑眼圈、眼袋或眼球佈滿血絲，兩個大黑輪在臉上實在不好看。而長期的熬夜也容易造成眼睛附近的靜脈血液長期淤積沒有改善就形成所謂的慢性黑眼圈。
人的身體可不是鐵打的，熬夜的人感覺疲倦，最先想到的就是喝咖啡或泡茶提神。不過，美國聖路家醫院睡眠醫藥研究中心的實驗發現，咖啡因對於提升工作效率不見的有效，即使有用，也僅能維持短時間效果。

整體來說，熬夜的預防保健仍取決於日常飲食，必須均衡攝取六大類食物。但為了熬夜，多補充?含維生素B群的食物及提升免疫能力的營養輔助品，絕對是有其必要的。或者有時明明身體非常疲倦，精神卻是亢奮的，愈累愈想休息睡覺的時候，竟出現失眠症狀。睡前沖泡一杯溫熱不燙的牛奶，可以幫助入眠，亦可提高睡眠品質，迅速消除疲勞回復體力！

 

睡覺也會睡錯！請自我檢查

新竹縣男子彭瑞德常年右臂痠痛，看了無數骨科，始終未能根治。
直到轉介神經外科，才發現他從小至今睡覺時枕頭沒枕對位置，以致原本應 微 呈Ｓ型的脊椎變成直直的，只好緊急開刀置換成鈦合金脊椎。
卅九歲的彭瑞德，是新埔鎮香火鼎盛的三聖宮宮主，從小習慣枕頭只墊到後腦勺的一半，不覺有什麼不舒服。
多年前他開始感到右上臂緊繃痠痛，到骨科就醫照Ｘ光都正常，醫生大都開給他肌肉鬆弛劑或止痛藥，並勸他不要熬夜或提重物。
「以前痠痛約三個月發作一次，去年起頻率增高，今年四月起甚至痠、痛、麻到受不了，不能開車了」彭瑞德說，他遍訪骨科醫師，止痛藥完全無效，懷疑是否骨頭里長了什麼壞東西。直到竹北東元醫院骨科醫師楊迪山為他照核磁共振，發現他的脊椎第五節頸椎處神經變得像紙片一般薄，整條脊椎的形狀是直的，緊急轉介到神經外科治療。

他不解病因，還對醫生說，「可能是我原本當憲兵，每天都站很直，所以脊椎很直」
上月當他再請苗栗頭份為恭醫院副院長王超然檢查時，才剛躺下，醫護人員就發現他枕頭只枕一半，整個脖子部分空空的沒依靠。
「我都是這樣睡的啊！」他不以為。
但醫生說，白天站立時頸椎承受的壓力，到晚上睡覺還是沒放鬆，經年累月下來，第五節頸椎壓迫到神經，以致反射到右上臂才會痛苦難當。
王超然為他手術，取出第五節變形的頸椎，置換鈦合金材質的新頸椎，終於解決他多年的痛苦；如果能早些發現，可以藉助復健治療而復原。

Gift from God

One day when God felt generous, He looked down at me and smiled,
"Since I feel so magnanimous, I'd like to give you something, child."

He asked me what I wanted,
I said, "Oh, really nothing more,
You've done so much already."
He said, "That's what God is for."

"You have been pretty good," He said,
I know there's not much that you seek,
I will pick a little something,
Just to make your life complete."

With great anticipation,
I looked forward to my gift,
I wondered what God had in mind,
That would give me such a lift.

"This gift," God said, "You realize,
Bears some responsibility,
So, if you accept my present,
You must be willing to agree...

"To offer unconditionally,
A section or a part,
Of more than half of you,
The larger portion of your heart."

"Okay, God," I answered,
"Since in You, I always trust,
I'll meet your obligation,
In the manner that I must."

To myself, I thought, wow, what a gift,
For so much of me, God's asked,
Now what could be so valuable,
That my share was more than half?

With both hands I sought my gift,
I still did not have a clue,
Then God put your hand in mine,
And said His gift to me was YOU!

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,

and remember what peace there may be in

silence. As far as possible, without

surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and

listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant;

they too have their story.

 

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;

they are vexatious to the spirit. If you

compare yourself with others, you may

become vain or bitter, for always there will be

greater and lesser persons than yourself.

 

Enjoy your achievements as well as your

plans. Keep interested in your career,

however humble; it is a real possession in the

changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution

in your business affairs, for the world is full

of trickery. But let this not blind you to what

virtue there is; many persons strive for high

ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

 

Be yourself. Especially do not feign

affection. Neither be cynical about love, for

in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

it is as perennial as the grass.

 

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in

sudden misfortune. But do not distress

yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears

are born of fatigue and loneliness.

 

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle

with yourself. You are a child of the universe

no less than the trees and the stars; you have

a right to be here. And whether or not it is

clear to you, no doubt the universe is

unfolding as it should.

 

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever

 you conceive Him to be. And whatever your

labors and aspirations, in the noisy

confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.

 

With all its sham, drudgery and broken

dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

   Be careful. Strive to be happy.

三棵樹

   三棵樹的故事

很久很久以前，小山丘的森林裡有三棵樹，他們興奮地討論他們的願望和夢想。

第一棵樹說：「我希望成為一個藏寶盒，盒中能夠收藏黃金、白銀以及各色珍貴寶
石。我的身上精工雕琢，每個人都要看見我的美麗。」

然後第二棵樹接著說道：「有一天我要成為一艘大船乘載各國國王與王后們度過萬
水，到達世界的每個角落。每個人都感到安全，因為我有堅固的船艙。」

最後第三棵樹說：「我想要努力抽高，成為森林裡最大最直的一棵樹。人們會看到
我在山的最高處，他們抬頭仰望我的枝椏，思想天堂與神思想我跟神的距離，好近好
近。我的偉大將是空前絕後，人們會永遠記得我。」

接下來的幾年，三棵樹不斷地禱告他們的夢想能夠成真。

直到有一天，一群伐木工人來到森林，有個工人看到第一棵樹便說：
「這樹看來很強壯，我應該能夠把它賣給木匠。」，正說著，就開始把樹砍下來。
第一棵樹非常高興，因為他知道木匠會把他造成一只藏寶箱。

在第二棵樹前，另一個伐木工人說：「這樹看來很強壯，我應該能夠把它賣給造船
廠。」第二棵樹很快樂，因為他知道他正踏向成為巨艇的路上。

當伐木工人來到第三棵樹前，樹非常驚恐，因為他知道一旦工人將他砍下

他的夢想將不復實現。有個工人說：「我並不特別需要什麼，所以我選這一株。」
說著，就把第三棵樹砍下了。

當第一棵樹被送到木匠處之後，他被做成一只動物餵食槽。他被放在穀倉裡，肚子
裡塞滿了稻草。這並不是他所求的。

第二棵樹被切割造成一隻小船。他渴望成為巨艇，運載各國君王的夢想也隨之破滅。

第三棵樹被砍成幾大段，扔擲在黑暗中。

數年過去了，樹兒們早已忘卻自己當年的夢想。

一天，一名男子和女子來到穀倉。女子在穀倉中分娩，並且將嬰孩放置在餵食槽的
稻草中。這槽便是用第一棵樹所造的。

第一棵樹感受到這個事件的重要性，便知曉他懷中褓抱的，是前所未有的稀世珍寶。

又過了數十年，有群人乘坐以第二棵樹所建造的漁船，其中一人因疲累而入睡。正
當他們出海時，忽有巨大風暴襲船，第二棵樹覺得他再也支撐不住了。那群人慌張喚
醒沉睡的男子，男子便起身對海濤斥聲：「靜了吧！」怒濤便應聲平息。

這時候，第二棵樹便知道他承載的是世上諸王之王。

最後，有人來拾去第三棵樹。樹被帶過千巷萬弄，而一路上人們嘲弄嬉笑那扛抬第
三棵樹的人。當他們停下來後，那人便被釘上第三棵樹，而後高舉在半空，然後死
去，在小丘頂上。

當禮拜天到來，第三棵樹豁然明白，他夠強壯能站立丘頂，並且盡其所能與神親近
，因為耶穌在第三棵樹上被釘十字架了。
***
小故事在告訴我們，當事情發展不似你所祈求所想望時，永遠記得神在你身上有著
計劃。如果你信賴祂，祂就要將美好禮物賜下給你。

每一棵樹都得到他們所期望的，但並非按照他們所想像的方式。

我們永遠不明白神在我們身上的計劃，但我們知道祂的方式不同於我們的方式，並
且祂的方式永遠是最善最美的。

但願你們的年歲受祝福，
但願你們所求都得著，
但願風永遠都在你們的後頭吹送，
但願陽光暖暖照耀你們的臉龐，
但願雨水溫柔灑向你們的植物並且直到我們再相見，
但願神將你們放置祂的掌心，輕柔搖送你們，一如嬰孩。

我們應該學會交托更多。
