"Self-awareness is like a diamond sparkling differently from every angle" - Laura Huang ("自我意識像是鑽石,不同角度閃爍著不同光芒" - 本書作者)
光是默默努力,埋頭苦幹,是不夠的。這位哈佛大學商學院教授,先是一語道破,許多人從小被教育“只要努力就會成功”,長大後卻發現社會不是這麼運作的挫折感。屬於好讀而且實用的一本書,這個月也出了中文版喔!
身為台裔美籍的女性,用她在美國學術圈(白人男性為主)的經歷,以及她對決策模式的深入研究,發展出她這套隱性優勢的心法,讓你的特質(包括優勢和劣勢)可以淬煉成你獨門的祕密武器。我覺得她拿捏的相當不錯,不流於文青式的做自己,也不會落入功利式迎合期待。
閱讀她的書,我一直想到孫子兵法當中的一句話 "善戰者,求之於勢,不責於人" 。這句話的意思指的是講戰略上如何應用情勢,讓自己站在有利的位置,同時也把人擺在對的位子上,而不是一味的拼命而已。換一個方式思考,其實所謂的“情勢”,首先就是要因地因時而置宜,另外也是和他人相對立場有關。當人工智慧越來越取代重複性以及定義明確的工作時,人類工作發展一定會更加需要人際互動以及跨界的能力。作者非常務實的說道一方面要對自己更加理解,另一方面我們是離不開他人的眼光和標籤的。與其視而不見或是抱怨不公,不如接受這樣的事實,從當中靈巧設定自己的位置,才能夠借力使力把自己所擁有的那一份發揮到最好。
“When you are in the system, you need to take charge of your own outcomes. Yes do what you can to change systems, advocate for better hiring practices, speak up for injustice, and educate others about the reality of bias. But we can't just wait for people to take make fair decisions on our behalf, make the right decisions about our future, or do things the ideal way. Creating an edge enables you to succeed within an imperfect system"
(“當你身處在大環境中,你需要能夠主導你的成果。是的我們都該盡可能地讓整體系統改變進步,支持更好的僱人方式,為不公義的事情發聲,並且教育他人關於偏見和歧視的真實性。但我們不能總是期待他人為我們做出公平的決定,為我們的未來做正確的選擇,或是按照理想行事。為自己創造隱性優勢,可以幫助你在不完美的大環境中取得成功”)
“EDGE" (優勢)一詞的字母也分別代表他的思考框架當中的四個步驟。
Enrich 提升價值
Delight 製造喜悅
Guide 導引定見
Effort 有效努力
書中有許多的例子都相當有趣,有些甚至會讓台灣的讀者非常有感。包括讓雞不打鬥的隱形眼鏡,找到鼎泰豐等級美味但不需排長隊,以及“亞洲瘋狂富豪”導演如何爭取到他心目中最適合的電影主題曲,等等,都讓閱讀這本書格外的有意思。她所謂自我意識像是鑽石般,可以從不同角度看到不同的閃爍,就是鼓勵讀者認知自己的不同面向,當然也包括社會的現況以及一些刻板印象,接受並且擁抱不同的可能。從手上有的那一副牌,玩出自己的一個獨門套路來!

【玳瑚師父公告】春節開運活動系列 (二)-《春節風生水起餐會》
CNY Prosperity Dinner Session (English version below)
妳你來到人間報到時,謂之為命。
妳你在人間「晃來晃去」,謂之為運。
這整個人生的開始與結束,含著先天與後天的理數。不諳此道者,當然只好隨他來隨他去,隨他生隨他死,白白浪費這一生了。我們命運的不齊,其實就在「浪費」兩個字。大家試想想看,當妳你人生道路不順時,妳你是否有善待過自己,給自己一個機會,就那麼一個機會,研究為何自己的人生道路,如此的坎坷不順。又或者,放下個自的面子,我慢、自負,虛心嚮一位一直都在研究命理的善知識,討教、請教立命之學,利己利他,皆大歡喜呢?

The moment you arrive into this world defines your destiny. The period of you walking around in this world is known as your fortunes or luck cycles. This beginning and the end of life hold many secrets of the Universe, both predestined and man-made. Those not in the know of this principle can only be helpless in the face of fate, and waste a precious lifetime. Think about it, living a wretched life can be considered a waste. When you encounter a setback in life, do you treat yourself kindly and give yourself that ONE chance to investigate your own life's passage and to truly understand the reasons for your current unfavorable predicaments? Or do you put aside your pride and arrogance, and humbly seek the advice of a virtuous person of wisdom, on how to take destiny in your own hands, benefiting yourself and others, to the delight of everyone?
Out of compassion, Master Dai Hu, who may be going into a retreat anytime soon, is dedicating his precious time to impart some of his elusive wisdom to those with the affinity and good fortune to pay their respect and Chinese New Year well-wishes to him, on the passage of fortune this year, both on a macro as well as a micro view. This session will be held on the 3rd Day of the Lunar New Year, at the Melt Cafe (Mandarin Oriental Hotel).
Let us all grab this golden egg of an opportunity and have a cracking year!
Date & time: 8pm-1030pm, Monday, 30 January 2017
Venue: Melt Cafe, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Marina Square
To reserve a slot, kindly send a text message personally to my assistant at +65 90212098. Requests sent on behalf of other people will not be accepted.
Information required:
1) Your Chinese name,
2) Your birth detail,
so that Master Dai Hu can advise you, based on your elemental needs.
I welcome people who are eager to learn and willing to put in the effort to turn life around for themselves and their loved ones. Do register early to avoid disappointment! Please remember to bring a pair of mandarin oranges and a red packet to pay your New Year call to Master Dai Hu.
Thank you for your love and support! ❤️

感遇二 唐詩欣賞- 張九齡(Tang poetry appreciation) 五言古詩
張九齡作〈感遇〉以抒發過去遭遇而生的種種感慨。感於所遇,託物寄慨,表達了不求人知、堅貞清高的氣節。
中文原文﹕
蘭葉春葳蕤,桂華秋皎潔;
欣欣此生意,自爾為佳節。
誰知林棲者,聞風坐相悅。
草木有本心,何求美人折?
英文翻譯 / English Translation﹕ by Betty Tseng
In spring orchid leaves flourish,
In autumn cinnamon trees blossom brightly.
Such exhibition of vitality
Portrays seasons lively.
How hermits in the woods
In these prospects take delight.
The verdure knows to natural instincts keep,
Why would it wish for discovery by the refined?
