3. 觀念: 我在中國的經驗,如果一個廠家能真正按圖施工,哪已經是中國最高品質,非常難以達到,我知道這個問題,因此有時候會偷偷把公差(tolerance)除以 2,但是最後還是沒有好結果。你到中國工廠參觀,每個人都告訴你他們檢察嚴格,這裡檢查,那裏檢查,到處檢查,然而不幸品質無法用檢查的手段獲得,品質是一種思維方式,你如何檢查到你不知道要檢查的地方呢?當你檢查到某個尺寸不合格時,你難道只有處理該不合格工件嗎?在中國工廠裡我們經常說 They don't have a quality program. 美國說得更露骨,他們說:Monkey see, monkey do. 你就知道問題在哪裡。

Lessons on Life 生命的功課
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. 有一個人,他有四個兒子。 他希望他的兒子能夠學會不要太快對事情下結論, 所以,他依次給他四個孩子一個問題, 要他們分別出去遠方看一顆桃子樹。
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. 大兒子在冬天前往,二兒子在春天, 三兒子在夏天,小兒子則是在秋天前往。
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. 當他們都前去也都返家之後, 他把他們一起叫到跟前形容他們所看到的情景, 大兒子說那棵數很醜、枯槁、扭曲。
The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. 二兒子則說,不是這樣子, 這棵樹被青青的嫩芽所覆蓋,充滿了盼望。
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. 三兒子不同意,他說樹上花朵綻放、充滿香氣, 看起來十分美麗,這美景事他從來不曾見到過的。
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. 小兒子不同意他們三人的說法。 他說樹上結滿了果子、累累下垂。 充滿了生命果子與豐收。
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. 這個人就對他四個兒子說:你們都是正確的。 因為你們四個人是在這棵樹的四個不同季節前往, 並且只看到其中一個季節的風景。
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. 他告訴兒子們不可用一個季節的風景來評斷一棵樹或是一個人, 關於構成一個人是怎樣的一個人的要件,還有一個人生命的 歡愉、喜樂、愛,只能在他生命的盡頭時候來做衡量。
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. 當你在冬天時候就放棄, 你就會錯過你生命春天的盼望、夏天的美麗、秋天的收成。
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. 不要讓一個季節的痛苦毀掉其他季節的喜樂。
Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later. 不要因為一個痛苦的季節就對人生下結論, 持守忍耐度過這段艱難,美好的日子將在不久之後來到。
像19世紀的英國藍賽爵士Sir William Ramsag,因為不信聖經所記載的真實性,決定親自調查打算以考古證據推翻聖經,
他認為使徒行傳是最有漏洞,是聖經中最弱,最容易攻破的一點
,因此按著使徒行傳的使徒腳蹤用了十五年的時間組織考古團隊進行發掘研究,
1896 年他發表了一巨著,書名為「旅行家聖保羅和羅馬的百姓」,
一個懷疑者,反成了近代一個為新約聖經的權威供獻最多的人.
請參考英國的藍賽爵士 ( Sir William Ramsag)
我們應謹慎不要成為懷疑者
但比懷疑者更可怕的是甚麼都信的「信」徒,這樣的人,與拜偶像無異,沒有定見,最容易被異端擄走
教會更有責任不要把信徒變成不用腦筋的蠢人,害人害己
"There were giants in the land in those days..." Gen.6:4. (創6:4) Remember the old testament story of how the Israelites were afraid because of the GIANTS in the land of Canaan. (迦南地的巨人) Numbers (民)13:33 There we saw the GIANTS (the descendants of Anak 亞納族came from the GIANTS); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."

KATOWICE, Poland -- Pau Gasol had 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead world champion Spain to a 85-63 win over Serbia in the final of the European basketball championship Sunday.
The victory gave Spain its first European title after six runner-up finishes, including a one-point loss two years ago to Russia in front of its home crowd.
The Spaniards dominated from the start at both ends of the court, playing pressure man-to-man defense and getting out on the break for easy baskets to take a 15-point first quarter lead. Serbia never recovered.
Gasol, a star with the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers, scored down low and blocked three shots on his way to winning the tournament MVP honors.
"It was a great game, and obviously we won the final that we lost twice before this year, so I'm extremely happy and it's an unforgettable day for us," Gasol said. "We just worked so hard to win this championship and I'm just super proud of my teammates."
Guard Rudy Fernandez chipped in with 13 points for Spain, while Uros Tripkovic led Serbia with 15 points.
"We lost the first half, and probably the game was finished," Serbia coach Dusan Ivkovic said. "The Spanish team was better and they deserved absolutely this title."
Spain was pegged as the favorite coming into the tournament, but struggled early, dropping its opener to Serbia 66-57 and losing a second-round game to Turkey.
Those setbacks prompted the team to change its attitude and raise its level of play.
"We were aware of our individual quality, but we weren't playing as well or as good as we should have collectively," Gasol said. "So we sat down, and were like it's now or never, we have to react, we have to work together, we have to start having fun playing, playing with enthusiasm. And it just clicked."
Did it ever. The team won its final five games by an average of 21.2 points.
"At the beginning we were a little bit concerned, but with hard work and great commitment from players we get to be an excellent defensive team, and we showed it in the last games," Spain coach Sergio Scariolo said.
Serbia, a surprise finalist, had the youngest team at the tournament with an average age of 22.4 years. For the first time in the tournament, Serbia's youth showed.
"Maybe this final came a little bit early for this team," Ivkovic said. "We don't have this kind of experience, but we don't have any reason to be disappointed."
Earlier Sunday, Greece slipped past Slovenia 57-56 to win the bronze medal.
In a hard-nosed defensive struggle, Greece used a 14-0 run in the first half to open a 10-point gap and hung on in the closing seconds to win the bronze two years after finishing fourth at the tournament.
"Today the team was very focused," Greece forward Antonios Fotsis said. "Everybody wanted to play well and at least win the bronze medal. This is a very big success for us."
Also, France beat Croatia 69-62 behind 18 points from Antoine Diot in the fifth-place game.
Both teams had already qualified for next year's world championship in Turkey and were only playing to determine the final placings.
Also, guard Vitalii Fridzon scored 26 points to lead Russia past Turkey 89-66 for seventh place at the tournament.
An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament: 有個住在新澤西州義大利後裔的老先生, 想要像往年一樣種蕃茄. 但是地很硬, 挖起來很困難.往年都幫他的兒子如今又入獄了. 老先生寫了封信給兒子敘述他的難處 : Dear Vincent: I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant! m! y tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over? I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa 親愛的兒子 : 我很哀傷, 因為今年沒法種蕃茄了. 我已經太老 , 挖不動菜圃了. 如果你還在家 , 一定會像從前一般地幫我挖. A few days later he received a letter from his son. Dear Pop: Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie 過了幾天, 他兒子回了封信: 老爸 , 千萬別挖. 屍體就埋在菜園裡.
新 表哥 敬上😀
At 4 a .m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son. 第二天清晨四點, FBI 和地方警察全體出動, 把菜園挖翻了一遍都沒找到屍體. 他們向老先生道歉後而離去. 當天老先生又收到一封兒子的來信 : Dear Pop: Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie 老爸, 現在你可以種蕃茄了吧! 在當下這個狀況, 這是我能給您最大限度的幫助
