    So, this is my first entry. Truly, this is my first time ever writing or typing anything about my day. Which is wierd in a sense but I never really thought that it could be interesting until now. When I was just browsing around and thought to myself, hmmmm, maybe I should write something and put it up in a public blog or something so someone can here the daily life of a Marine Sergeant who is instructing at the School Of Infantry on Camp Pendleton in sunny southern California.

    It October 30, 2007 and the fires are finally out and the smoke has finally lifted. Along with the smoke going away so did my headaches and soar throat. I have been with my students pretty much everyday for the last 10 days feeding, bedding and training them for combat. I woke up at 0600 this morning took a shower, got dressed, cleaned up my room which consist of straightening up and making my bed. You know, those things your mother taught you to do when you were just a weeeeeee little tike.I put on my "flight" suit and headed down toward the ramp(where we keep the vehicles). When I finally arrived to work at 0700 I gave my vehicle keys to my young Marines to unlock my vehicle and start prepping. So, one of them checks the oil and comes running to me to tell me that it is low. I go check it and its right at the full mark and he swears that it was low. It was pretty funny to see him go from crew member to crew memeber asking if they saw it and ofcourse none of them did.

    Once we were all prepped we left and headed out to the training areas and started driving threw the hills. I'm on my 11th class and this crew I have now is the best crew I've ever had. However, there is always 1. Sadly this one happens to be a Sergeant who is going threw my school and is the biggest idiot I've ever met. He is supposed ot lead in combat. I'm not going to let it happen. He isn't capable of leading a fly into a pile of $h#tif you catch my drift. Or should I say his. Anywho, they each got 1 hour of drive time in for the day portion and when we put the thermal site in they each get 30 minutes. This Sergeant doesn't understand what go left or right meens nor speed up or slow down. He brake checks me at the rapid rate and one day is going to roll me off of a cliff. We traverse some rough terrain and he just doesn't have a clue.

    After standing in the turret for roughly 8 hours today without missing a beat and dilling with my pet rock my 18 and 19 year old Marines cheered me up. They were packing the dummy man(fake person) back into the Lagistics vehicle and I told them to pack in such way that we could fit everything in it. When I go look back there they had propped this fake person up and put goggles on his head, crossed its legs and put a MRE in its lap. Was hilarious. That pretty much concluded the day but its 2100 now and I just got off of work. Easy day.

    建立一个成功的团队
    每位企业的领袖都希望能建立一个"成功的团队"。
    但是一个"成功的团队"并非一班英俊潇洒的人群，
    而是一团能够创造奇迹和为企业带来效益的部队。
    "成功的团队"必须比个别团员作出超越本能的成绩，
    即非１十１再十１．．．而是１０倍２０倍甚至３０，４０倍的倍增。
    利用原有的知识和经验，建立一个"成功的团队"并非梦寐以求，而实际上是完全可以"美梦成真"的！
    那么，让我们同心协力的一齐共建一个"成功的团队"吧！
    首先，我们必须大胆地作出带有创意的构思；容许团队的个别人员献出彼此不同的本能，领导才华和技术，溶合各方对产品的新意，拓展步骤和谋取盈利策略；以最强势，最热劲和最诚恳的使命感开展；及时地对团员嘉勉，把或有的冲突化作"效益的机遇"。
    专业性的团队仍需配备领导专才，人力资源专才和典范优秀"成功团队"得力的培训导师！

    堅定
    堅定是指積極而有信心，知道自己應該受到尊重。堅定始於"天生我才必有用"的認識。你有你獨特的天賦，只有你才具有多種特質的特殊結合。
    當你堅定的時候，你會公正地說出真相。你不會盲從於他人，你會獨立思考。如果有人要傷害你，給你找麻煩，或慫恿你去做你認爲不正確的事情，你會保護自己。你也可顯示出不讓他人傷害你或把你引入歧途的力量。
    堅定是敢於提出自己的願望和要求。
    堅定是表達自己的事項、意見和才能。如果你這樣做，就是用自己的特殊方式對這個世界做出了奉獻，就是運用了上帝賜給你的特質

    忿怒 (Anger)
    每人都有七情六慾。
    陶寧博士　（Dr.Downing, Ph.D.）說: "在發怒前人必定有另一"情緒"。"
    這些"情緒"或"感覺"包括: 驚懼，哀悼，疼痛，高興，平靜，愛戴等．．．．這些"情緒"或"感覺"，
    稱為『第一感覺』；『第一感覺』是自然的，即時的，不能自我控制的；
    人們往往為了這些不能自我控制的，即時的，自然產生的"情緒"或"感覺"所激動而爆發"忿怒"；
    "忿怒"僅是繼而產生的另一自然反應，稱為『第二感覺』。
    例如：
    （一） 當你駕駛著你心愛的"奔馳"(BENZ)時，突然發覺有人魯莽駕車擦身而過，把你嚇一跳，您即感覺忿怒，其實您因受到"驚嚇"（第一感覺）；繼而產生"忿怒"（第二感覺）；這感覺當時是難以控制的自然反應。
    （二） 當你發覺到你的兒女，突然學習成績一落千丈的時候，你自然怒火沖天，極度"忿怒"（第二感覺）；這是由於你對他們"疼愛"（第一感覺）的原因，但如換作別人的兒女，你就不會那麼"忿怒"了。
    （三） 當你向朋友許諾某件事，而你未曾盡力而為，你會令他失望，繼而對你產生"忿怒"，這是由於你的朋友對你的"許諾"，寄以極度的"希望"，當他的第一感覺（希望）被毀滅時，"忿怒"（第二感覺）就會自然發生。
    上述這些"忿怒"都是第二反應，所以要自我"息怒"的話，首先必須"平心靜氣"，尋找"忿怒"的根源，即人性的"第一反應"，就很容易自我控制，自我"息怒"。下一次，當您"怒火沖天"的時候，可否立即使出您的絕招，嘗試尋找出您"忿怒"的根源，自我平息您的"紅火"，平心靜氣維持您珍貴的友情！

    淡妆浓抹总相宜

    秋高气爽正是旅游的好时节，人算不如天算，临近周末，偏巧接到来自新西兰的老朋友从杭州打来的电话，我等当机立断，拍板买票，隔日启程，乘火车到杭州，杭州本来就是天堂，天堂里会朋友，我们从心里乐得有点找不着北的感觉。

    周到的老友把我们一家安排在西湖边的崭新的高级公寓，周六一大早，我们陈家大小带着对天堂的想象，在淡淡的晨雾中漫步西子湖畔，随风清扬的柳叶荡在湖面上，湖上一道道波纹送给我们诗意的祝福。一方山水，养一方美人，我没忘记鼓励身边的两位男士看看在断桥边有没有运气瞧见真正的杭州美女，美境遇佳人的机会可是千载难逢啊。没想到，他们运气欠佳，一帮西湖老太太们伴着音乐玩着太极剑，太极扇，令路人侧目，敦敦悻悻地说，她们是老了点，不过不难想象，她们都是当年的西湖美女，女大十八变么。

    西湖美在没太多修饰，苏提春晓，三谭印月都是很简单的景观。不妨把西湖看成一个静待情人的素装美女，有道是，'水光潋滟晴方好，山色空蒙雨亦奇。欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜'。

    不管是白娘子和许仙还是梁山伯与祝英台都比罗密欧与朱丽叶的爱情更具脱俗的美。白娘子是天上来的，她的美自不必说，她对爱的追求再加上她'水漫金山'的气魄和'盗仙草'的勇气，啥样的男人追不到手？着男装的祝英台颇具当今盛行的'中性美'，连在万松书院同窗三载的梁兄都不忍心揭破她是女儿身的秘密。免得她回归女儿装后美丽大打折扣。

    万松书院很具学院氛围，吃着'状元饼'的敦敦梁祝书房前作起了进哈佛的美梦。

    拜过灵隐寺的大檀香佛，走在飞来峰上，一座一笑一千多年的小尼勒吸引了我的眼球，他稳坐半山腰，既不高也不大，笑得恰到好处，姿态舒服自然，小圆肚鼓鼓地偏在左边。我问敦敦尼勒是男像还是女像？敦敦说看起来还真有点像女的，肚子里边真像是有小孩的样子，搞不好是尼姑怀孕后装成尼勒和尚，笑天下人看不出自己是女的。我也不禁笑着想，当年和尚们吃到的油水有限，为啥唯独尼勒有如此大的腰围，心宽体胖不能完全解释他的肚子，一定是贪吃酒肉这类的生活方式问题影响了他的体态。

    因为我们没走完杭州的十景，留下了想象的空间，积攒了再来天堂的欲望，说心里话，看景不如听景，听景不如想景，这人间天堂在人们的想象中才最美。

    I must listen to that little voice on the inside.
    I guess the shortest way there is to learn to tune out everything else when it speaks. But first I must recognise it and listen.

    ...Wow...A lot has gone down since my birthday. I quit my wonderful job because I got admission into graduate school. I am more in Love with Babe than I have ever been...It's wierd...Like I Like Him more everyday. He's abroad now, and I'm nervous because He's so much closer even though we are still far apart. School is kicking. I'lll be getting my midterm grades tomorrow, so hopefully they are good ; )

    I lost my God-father 3 Sundays ago. I miss Him and I hate knowing I wont be able to talk to Him ever again.
    I really pray that my 4 girlfriends find true Love mehn...It's eating at my soul that they are lonely and unsure, but I'll keep praying for them. They have just got to experience this high...It's unexplainable.

    Live in Love and Peace in the World...Much Love,...Me
