***香港白色恐怖
【點名警告律師會】
律師會即將改選部分理事,繼中國官媒和律政司鄭若驊後,行政長官林鄭月娥亦點名警告律師會不要政治化;她今(17 日)出席行會前見記者,若有專業團體「唔係做專業嘅事」,而是被政治「騎劫」或凌駕專業,港府的唯一取向「就係同佢中止關係」,點名香港律師會若被「政治凌駕」法律專業,「特區政府同樣都會考慮同佢中止關係」,亦會重新審視律司會目前在法例下的人事推薦權。


This is a horrific set of foreign policy. It is leading with weakness, it is begging, it is apologizing for America. Not only is it a bad idea, it is dangerous, as you can see from what’s happening in Afghanistan today.


善良的逆襲:正直卻有謀略,精明卻不使詐,七個顛覆厚黑學的真實成功故事


The Art of Fairness:The Power of Decency in a World Gone Mean

The Art of Fairness: The Power of Decency in a World Turned Mean 


'David Bodanis is an enthralling storyteller. Prepare to be taken on a surprising, wide-ranging and ultimately inspiring journey to explore what makes us human' Tim Harford
Can you succeed without being a terrible person? We often think not: recognising that, as the old saying has it, 'nice guys finish last'. But does that mean you have to go to the other extreme, and be a bully or Machiavellian to get anything done?
In THE ART OF FAIRNESS, David Bodanis uses thrilling historical case studies to show there's a better path, leading neatly in between. He reveals how it was fairness, applied with skill, that led the Empire State Building to be constructed in barely a year - and how the same techniques brought a quiet English debutante to become an acclaimed jungle guerrilla fighter. In ten vivid profiles - featuring pilots, presidents, and even the producer of Game of Thrones - we see that the path to greatness doesn't require crushing displays of power or tyrannical ego. Simple fair decency can prevail.
With surprising insights from across history - including the downfall of the very man who popularised the phrase 'nice guys finish last' - THE ART OF FAIRNESS charts a refreshing and sustainable new approach to cultivating integrity and influence.
原則,理想與精密的計算。立陶宛favor台灣的作法,引起中國的不滿,有恐嚇,也有實際行動,照這篇報導的說法,立陶宛已經算過,也做了準備。
《善良的逆襲》也在談這件事。之前在臉書上寫到倫敦奧運,Hsinchinlin寄了這本書給我,真好。我原本也以為這是一本勵志書,宣揚厚黑不會總是贏,好人也會長命,但發現沒那麼單薄,而且寫得很好看。開頭就寫倫敦奧運的開幕式,原來這是《貧民百萬富翁》的導演操刀。這本書寫他如何在經費不足,大量動用志工的狀況下,打造倫敦奧運的開幕儀式--不是技術面,而是態度面。他從「性善論」的假設出發,但是也不是濫好人,有他檢核的機制,有他堅持的原則。像是英國奧委會本來希望參與的上萬名志工自掏腰包,典禮穿的衣服要志工自己出錢買。導演反對到底,以辭職明志,最後爭取到志工不用出錢。
看來不只台灣的奧委會狀況多,英國奧委會也是荒腔走板,志工已經投入很多心力,連服裝都要自己花錢,英國奧委會也真敢開口。這就好像政府槍斃犯人,還要求犯人自己要出子彈錢。不過這種事情從前發生過,以後也不會少,《善良的逆襲》提供了一種方式,讓人在被狗咬之後,除了回咬狗之外的另一種選擇。




直接偷自我的青春永駐超睿智同學
看到李洋跟王齊麟受訪時英文流利的狀況, 我還在讚嘆現在小孩子真強。不過八月號的商周有出採訪。其實是2017年教育部跟文藻合作。 進駐國訓中心。 除了分成大班制的基礎課, 小班制的教練跟運動員練習課。希望教練跟選手能跟國外頂尖人員交流, 立即了解裁判規則。
還有針對頂尖選手1 vs1 課程。 讓他們在國際賽後採訪可以毫無障礙。
所以小戴今年初在泰國公開賽已經可以全英語受訪。
看了很感動, 其實有很多部門也是在默默的努力的。
