有必要存錢嗎？ Is It Necessary to Save Money for The Future?

There is a popular saying, “money is not almighty, but without it you can do nothing.” Money is necessary in our life. Some people treasure it very much, so they save it. However, some people think it is important just because it can bring lots of benefit for them, so they use up their money to exchange what they want. Which living style is better? Do you think it is necessary for us to save money for the future? In my opinion, saving money is necessary. Reasons are as follow.

有一種流行的説法，“錢不是萬能的，但是沒有錢卻是萬萬不能的。”錢在我們生活中是不可或缺的。有些人很珍惜錢，所以他們把它存起來。然而，有些人則認為錢之所以重要是因為它能為他們帶來很多的好處，所以他們用光了自己的錢來換取他們想要的東西。哪種生活方式更好呢？你覺得我們有沒有必要為未來存錢呢？在我看來，存錢是有必要的。原因如下。

First of all, saving money is helpful to deal with the unexpected things happen in the future. The future is unknown. We are not sure that we won’t meet any unexpected things, which need money to solve in the future. If we have save some money in our daily life, we can deal with such kind of problem easily when they are happen, instead of worrying and doing nothing. What’s more, sometimes saving money can bring you happiness. When you have save some money, you can make some surprise for your life or improve your life quality. Even you can use your saving money to help other people who are in need. You will be happy from such kind of things.

首先，存錢有助於應付將來意想不到的事情。未來是不可預測的。我們不能保證我們不會遇到需要用錢解決的意料之外的事。如果我們在日常生活中存一些錢，我們就可以輕易的處理這類問題，而不是乾着急，什麼都做不了。而且，有時候存錢也可以帶來幸福感。當你存了一些錢後，你可以為你的生活製造一些驚喜或者提高一下自己的生活質量。你還可以用你存下來的錢去幫助有需要的人。你會從中得到幸福的。

In a word, it is better to save money properly than not. Sometimes your life will be different with the saving money. Save happiness for yourself!

總之，適當的存點錢比不存更好。有時候你的生活會因存錢而不一樣。為自己積點幸福吧！

愛是什麼？ What is Love?

As the society are becoming complex day by day, more and more people are hoodwinked by a lot of temptation or other material things, ignoring the most nature emotion, love. Many people doubt the existence of love. I totally disagree with their opinion. A few days ago, I watched the movie Love Story In Beijing. I come to realize that what is love and it is around our life.

隨着社會的日益複雜，越來越多的人被很多誘惑或其他一些物質方面所矇蔽，從而忽略了最真摯的感情，愛。許多人都懷疑愛的存在。我完全不同意他們的觀點。前幾天，我看了《北京愛情故事》這部電影。我意識到愛是什麼，還有原來它就在我們身邊。

First of all, love is put one's heart and soul into her shoes. If you love someone, you will do everything for her;you will think on her side. You will reject all the temptations that can make you live better, just because you don’t want to hurt her. Secondly, love is forgiveness. No matter what the other one do to you, you will forgive her at last. You won’t treat her eye for eye. Although what she has done hurts you so much, you won’t do the same thing to, because you love her. Thirdly, love is growing old together. The outside word is so colorful, but what you want is to grow old with her together and treasure every minute with her. What’s more, you will leave a place for her forever in your deep heart, even she has passed away.

首先，愛是全心全意為他着想。如果你愛一個人，你會為她做任何事；你會站在她的角度想問題。你會全部拒絕那些能讓你生活地更好的誘惑，只是因為你不想傷害她。其次，愛是寬容。無論對方對你做了什麼，最後你都會原諒她。你不會把她以牙還牙。儘管她所做的已經深深傷害了你，你也不會對她做同樣的事，因為你愛她。第三，愛是一起變老。外面的世界很精彩，可是你想要的只是和她一起變老，並珍惜和她在一起的每分每秒。而且，就算她離開這個世界了，在你的內心深處會永遠為她留着一個位置。

Love is a kind of emotion that everyone has. It is around us. If we pay attention, we will find it. So, do not lose the faith to believe the existence of love. It is the feeling that every can feel by heart.

愛是每個人都擁有的感情。它就在我們身邊。如果我們留意，我們就能找到它。所以，不要失去對愛的存在失去信心。人人都能用心感受到它。

Nobody really cares if you're miserable

Nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy."

- Cynthia Nelms

Many authorities, from psychologists to spiritual teachers have agreed on this part;much of what we undertake in our lives revolve around the pursuit of happiness.

And this is going to be a very bold statement to make;but many of us are going about it the wrong way. Most of us find happiness by running towards something - entertainment, romance, work, alcohol.

But you can already guess what I'm going to say next. Those activities are shaky - for we are merely running away from something.

Finding true happiness comes from turning around and facing everything that makes us sad, angry, and anxious. And once we take care of the nightmares, the darkness within, the dreams will follow of their own accord.

how do we face our sorrows?

How do we do this? It comes as surprising, for it is just in front of us - just completely being with your negativity, non-judgementally, without acting on it. Emotions are meant to be felt. That's all they are supposed to do - it's so natural. Just welcome them, and let them pass.

The ancient spiritual traditions call it mindfulness, Presence. The western psychologists call it just sitting with it, getting in touch with it.

I've spent years in depression and sorrow, simply because I've been trying to fight my negativity, hide from them, run away from them. Most of us have a store of negative emotions inside. We carry them around all the time, as wounds that are still open inside us. This is why insults hurt so much, they are just words, but they have touched some scar inside your being.

And yet it is so simple to set ourselves free from them.

This is not strictly a meditation, and can be done anytime. But to get used to it, and to prove its effectiveness, please just spend five minutes now. I know sometimes things like these go straight back on to the shelf, but you stand to lose five minutes, and potentially gain the world. I used this to get out of a depression that lasted years, so I guarantee it works.

1. Separation.

Realise that emotions of all sorts, from anger to fear, are merely energy. The most important thing is to separate ourselves. We are not our emotions. We are not depressed;there is sadness in us. We are not cocky;there is pride in us.

2. Body awareness.

Once we are aware of these emotions, these energies, simply welcome them. Feel them through your body, not through your mind - don't think about them! What does it feel like? My anger, for instance, feels like a heat, a tightness in upper torso. My anxieties and fears feel cold and clammy, together with a lot of nausea.

3. Don't think about them.

Thinking about your emotions, on the other hand, makes you want to act on them. "I hate him! I feel so insulted, so misunderstood!"That is the danger of the story, and can cause you to hurt someone. Please don't. Some physical reactions are acceptable though - crying, trembling, or vomiting.

4. Bring up your emotions.

If you have to, start by bring to mind an issue you are struggling with, and feel the energy that lies underneath it. Coax up as much as you feel comfortable handling.

5. Welcome it.

Next, just welcome it fully into your awareness. It is just energy, it is neither good nor bad - it just is. Welcome it, relax into it. Your body might tense up, your breathing might change - but relax your body, breathe easily. Just let it be there, without judgement. Often, you'll find that it simply dissipates when you relax your body and allow yourself to feel it. Spend a few minutes allowing the feeling to be there. If you want, take a deep breathe, and imagine that the energy is carried out with your out-breath.

And that's it. How can it be so simple? The answer is right in front of us - emotions are there to be felt. They are as much as part of us as our bodies are;and denying them is self-violence. Accepting them, love them, welcome them.

deepening your practice

It is recommended that you start with a small annoyance, to prove to yourself that it works. If this is something you want to practice, keep a diary of your benefits. Bigger issues take a lot more work, and can often make one give up before they get there - they forgot that it works.

Once you have discovered the power of this method, then it is normal you would want to explore more deeply into your being. Here's one way: Why do we hurt? The boss calls you lazy, calls you useless, calls you stupid. There must be something inside you, some unhealed wound that he has touched.

I remember the arguments I had with an ex-girlfriend. She was screaming and shouting, but I didn't even blink. I responded calmly, and tried to calm her down. But when her tone got snide, cocky - that was when I felt my fire arise. Why? It brought up some deeper pain - speaking down to me, perhaps it hit a feeling of insecurity about my value as a respectable person.

And yet a drunkard comes up to you on the streets - your hair is hideous, he yells, it's green and purple! Where would the emotional distress be then? There is nothing in you for him to hit.

So: Go backwards into yourself. Find the original wound, or perhaps the insecurity, and bring your attention on it. Lovingly, non-judgementally, just bring your focus on it. And that focus is already the healing, the beginning of the transformation. It might take a long time, but you are worth it.

how your mind fights it

Facing these deeper wounds is scary. You've been running from them your entire lives, and now turning around and looking them in the eye can be difficult.

For deeper pains - your mind doesn't want to face them;it cannot handle the demons it has chosen to shut away;it wants to keep running.

There are many ways your mind tries to fight it. When you are facing a deeper issue, sit through it all:

· Societal "shoulds"and "should nots". These often get in the way: Men don't cry, women don't rage.

· Pure instinct. When you see a gruesome accident on the road, you grimace and look away. It is the same with your internal wounds.

· Repression. You are pushing it away yourself. Remember that you have to welcome the pain, not push it away by saying "come on, I'm feeling you already, now go away!"

· Boredom. The mind tells you that it is bored, think about something else.

· Denial. The mind tries to convince you the pain is a good thing, or it is already healed.

· Force. The mind tries to draw you away with irrelevant thoughts, or an intense desire to do something else.

Please use your common sense here. While I've never heard of anything physically bad happening, do stop if it gets too much. This is not a replacement for professional help.

I'm honoured to be able to guest post here at the Ririan Project. This post, while short and simple, represents the biggest gem I've uncovered in my journey out of suffering, and I'm happy Ririan has given me a chance to bring it to a wider audience.

上大學前要先工作嗎？ Go to Work Before Entering University?

In china, it is the traditional for high school students attend university after they graduate from high school for about three months. Many students will use these three months to stay home for relax. However, now there are some people point out that they should use that time to gain work experience, instead of wasting time. I agree with them. In my opinion, going to work before entering university has many advantages.

在中國，高中生畢業約三個月後就開始上大學是一直以來的傳統。很多學生會利用這三個月呆在家裏放鬆。然而，現在有人指出他們應該利用這段時間來獲取工作經驗，而不是浪費時間。我同意他們的觀點。在我看來，上大學前要先工作是有很多優點的。

First of all, going to work before university is helpful for high school students to figure out the most desire major they want. As most high school students are busy with study in school, they don’t have too much time to find what they want in the future. The most important two points in choosing university and major are interest and employment. If they work before entering college, they can have a clearer mind for themselves. They have more chances to make a right choice. In addition, working before going to university can make them treasure their school life more. Life is not easy. When they work, they can realize this. Having taste the bitter, they will treasure their happy life more.

首先，上大學前先工作有助於高中學生弄清楚他們最想要的是什麼專業。由於大多數高中生在學校的時候都是忙於學習，他們都沒有時間去了解自己將來想要的是什麼。在選擇學習和專業時最重要的兩點是興趣和就業。如果在上大學前先工作，他們可以更清晰的瞭解自己。就有更多的機會做出正確的選擇。此外，上大學前工作可以更加珍惜學校生活。生活並不容易。他們工作的.時候，他們就會意識到這一點。經歷過苦難後，他們才會更珍惜自己的幸福生活。

To summary, going to work before entering university is a chance for high school graduate students to see themselves or the world better. It is good for them.

總之，上大學前先工作對高中畢業生來説是更好的認清自己和這個世界的機會。這對他們是好的。

如何禁止酒駕？ How to Ban Drunken Driving?

Drunken driving cases have been increasing and have caused numerous deaths. Some people suggest drunken driving should be made into a felony while others think that tough penalties may not have much effect on road safety. My view is just as follow.

酒後開車的案例不斷增加，而且還造成了大量的死亡。一些人認為酒後駕駛應該定重罪，而另外一些人認為嚴厲的處罰對道路交通安全可能沒多大的影響。

As we all know, it is very dangerous to drive while one is drunk. Therefore, drivers shouldn’t drive after drinking in order to protect others’ life as well as their own. So far, the present Road traffic Safety Law seems to show too much mercy to drunken drivers even though they have caused much trouble to the society. A more severe punishment should be given to those who drive after they have drunk, especially to those who are drunk and have caused serious injuries or deaths while driving.

我們都知道酒後駕駛是非常危險的。所以，為了保護他人的安全以及他們自身的安全，司機喝酒後就不應該開車。到目前為止，即使他們給這個社會造成很多的麻煩，社會道路交通安全法對酒駕的司機似乎還是過於仁慈了。那些酒後駕駛的人應該得到更嚴厲的懲罰，尤其是那些酒駕後造成嚴重傷害或死亡的。

In order to crack down drunken driving, the government should introduce a more severe law. Besides, more measures should be taken to cultivate the drivers’ awareness of traffic laws and respect others’ lives as well as their own when they are driving on the road, which I think should be the key to decrease drunken driving cases.

為了打擊酒後駕駛，政府應該出台更嚴厲的法律。此外，應該採取更多的措施來培養駕駛員在駕駛中對交通法規和尊重他人生命以及自身生命的認識，我認為這是減少醉駕的關鍵。
