我的舅舅 My Uncle

我這篇標題叫做我的舅舅，其實我並不是要介紹他的生平事蹟拉。今天晚上他辦公室網路連不上打電話跟我求助。雖然我從電話裡已經判斷出是他公司電腦本身usb的問題，但我想到或許可以再到現場幫他確認一次，所以我後來主動開車到他公司去看，開心的是這樣的好心得到了一些好報。

The title of this post is “My Uncle”. Well, I don't want to introduce you guys my uncle's great achievements actually. This evening, he asked me for a help about network connection troubles in his office. Although I had judged the problem was on his computer's USB in the telephone, I thought maybe I should go there and check it again for him, so I drove to his office later. The glad thing was good-heartedness often meets with recompense.

他是一個成功的腳踏車零件商，今晚他剛好清閒，check 電腦完後就聊天。聊著聊著就講到我想轉念商的事情。他還鼓勵我念博士，雖然我自己現在評估起來意願不是很強。此外他講的一些觀念很不錯，有些是我以前沒弄清楚的。
He is a successful bicycle component trader. He was at leisure this evening and chatted with me after checking some network problems. In this easy evening, we talked about the topic of changing my professional field to commerce. He encouraged me to study to PhD, ha, though I don't have a strong intention to do that at present. Besides that, I feel he gave me some good ideas, some of which I neglected before.


例如，在商場上挖角不只因為他本身能力好，更重要的是他的客戶群，挖到他等於把他的客戶資源甚至團隊一起帶過來，商場上很現實。
In business, head-hunting a person is not only because of his ability, but more important is his customer resources. Hiring him also get his customers and research group. It is reality.


從大學直接出來工作在社會上學到的比念研究所才出來的碩士更有價值。這因為是我的弱點，如果光從卡位升遷或是薪水層面來講，這樣轉可能並不是太吃香。
The value from working experience a person gets since graduate is usually higher than a studying degree of a master. It is my weakness in the commerce field if I just discuss this from salaries and position promotion. It is not a best situation for me.


不過，積極的態度才最重要。不管工作或唸書上，把重心放在知識上的擷取，而不要花太多心力管人心的事情，也包括所謂的生涯規劃，升遷加薪等計畫。每個人的想法都是不同的線，太複雜也無從推測起
However, the positive attitude is the best, and most important. Whether on studying or working, just put more energy on knowledge learning but don't spend too much time being over-careful about other people's thinking, including so-called career planning or promotion and salaries. Every person's thought is a different line, too complicated and hard to guess.


積極的態度改變個性 。 試著把每一天做一些改變，人家說個性很難改，的確不簡單，但是每天改變的習慣，其實也就是個性上的改變。
Positive attitude changes personality. I will try to do something different everyday. People say personality is hard to change, well indeed it is. Try to change in everyday's life; in fact, it is the changes of our personality.


不用想太多，機關算盡，百密終有一疏，樂觀且把生活做簡單，成效驚人。
Don't think too much. “機關算盡，百密終有一疏” in Chinese means making consideration of everything, finally, right on 99 reasons of 100 but miss one. Be optimistic and make life simple. It has amazing effects.

回頭看自己的文章 I reviewed my articles

我回頭看看自己寫的blog，發現前兩篇語氣有些太過武斷，或許會給人有偏激的感覺。在這時候我突然領悟到說理還是要講三分情的意涵。即使言論有理，說的含蓄婉轉，多放一點耐心會讓讀者感到比較舒服。站在自己，也站在對方想事情。
I reviewed my blog, finding last two articles were too assertive, and it would give others the impression that I am a little extreme. At that time, I unexpectedly understand again about the meaning of the sentence: when arguing with other people, don't forget to keep some sympathy. Even though I stand on a strong position, I should not refute others aggressively. I think paying more patience and being softer in attitude is good for me and readers, making readers comfortable. Empathy, stand on other's position to consider problems.


因此我也修改了之前blog文章的一些修辭。雖然本小站blog人氣居然還沒破50耶 :(…...，所以說拉表示我寫這麼多並不是要宣傳什麼大理念，那些都只是我有感而發而已。希望以後人氣會越來越旺，也希望大家可以留下足跡。 來嘛，哈哈~~
I revised some articles. Hope it would be better. My blog now has not been visited by 50 people !@! :(… hope more people in the future and leave your messages :). come on.... hahaha


多放耐心，積極，幸福感，同理心……我覺得這不錯。
話鋒一轉，現在電視上一堆選舉口水…
唉....沒關係，為何不從自己先做起？
I feel it is better that there are more patience, positive, happiness, Empathy…
by the way, however, there are so many political verbal battles during the election in Taiwan…
That's all right. Why don't be better from myself?

他還喜歡我嗎? Does She/ he still love me?

這是正在戀愛的人經常會頭痛的問題。跟我同年齡的同學到現在有的已經早婚了，而絕大部分的人到目前為止也都曾經歷過有一段長的感情，而且經常也碰到了最關鍵的時候，不少人在這個時候還是以分手收場。

Well, it is probably a perplexity that people being in love usually have. Some of my classmates the same old as me have been married early, and most of the others nearly have experienced at least one long-term relationship so far. It is now about a crucial period for them. However, not a few people of my friends unluckily broke up after all.

我的幾個女性同學也不太美滿的遇到這些事情，而且她們的男方是不理不睬，或是出言不慎傷害女生，讓女生難以接受。我還有親戚他們倆原來感情很好，沒想當因為唸書分隔兩地之後出乎意外的結束掉感情
Recently, some female old classmates of mine also had this kind of matters. They felt sad because their boy friends end up their relationship with emotionless attitude, or even hurt them with offensive language. I have a relative; she and her boyfriend both had firm affection for each other. Surprisingly, they ended up love lately because she is now studying in other country.


的確，影響交往失敗或成功的因素很多，不過關於男生對女生失去興趣這個部分，我最近在我自己的生理及心理上面做探索，發現我一樣也是有顯在的男性天生物化傾向，我的意思是
It is true that many factors would cause the love relationship fail. However, as to the part that a man lost his interest to a woman, recently I made some explorations about myself in physiology and psychology level and I found that I am also have a male native sexual objectification. What I mean is:


把異性在我的意識中某種程度上的物化
Images of women are somewhat sexualized with objectification in my subconscious

最明顯的物化性格大概從兩方面解釋
The apparent characteristics probably could be explained from two aspects:


1. 像是物品般，喜新厭舊。不少男人大概都有的經驗：看到電影名星美女經常想說…假如只要我能夠跟他的話，我一定一輩子愛著他而滿足，但是為什麼那些曾經跟這些美女交往過的男士們不但也就把她們甩掉了，而且心理上也覺得那些女孩其實也一般般？（我在隱射周董嗎：）
1. Treating them like a stuff; people like a new stuff but dislike the old one. I guess many men have such an experience: when seeing a very beautiful movie star or singer, they have a thought that I would love only her in my life and feel very satisfied if she is my girlfriend. But… why some men who had been dated with those beautiful women not only threw such wonderful babes away but also felt those women were not that perfect in their mind?


2. 功用性: 對特定人的連結少，對功能的連結強，難怪男生外遇較多。而且當生理上需求被滿足時，男生有時候突然心裡會感覺空空蕩蕩，難怪有些人做完以後翻個身就睡著了。
2. Purpose and Function. Men’ brain consider by the mode that try to link specific people less but make strong links with function. Maybe it is a cause men have more extramarital relations. It is discovered that not a few men feel empty while their physiology needs are satisfied, then just sleep on the bad after sex.


當然我絕對不是說一個男人對一個女人的感情只有物化的成分在，絕對也有情感的因素在裡頭，只是....或許沒有女生那麼多。 天底下人那麼多，有各式各樣的情況，並沒有要在此打筆戰的意思。再說，這也不是男生都很壞的問題，我們也不是故意的呀，哈...要怪就去怪基因吧
Sure, I absolutely don’t think that a man only have the attitude of objectification to a woman. That is wrong. A man if he likes a woman, he has the affection and unique emotion to her. There are so many people and each man is so different, therefore it is not that meaningful to argue that why men are so bad. It is not a question of bad or good men are. That is men’s behavior by instinct. Hahaha… could we blame on male’s gene?


就男生而言能做的就是盡量用心，避免傷對方心那要避免傷心的方法其中很重要的就是不要在不對的時間太過深入交往，交往越深要脫離就更需要付出代價。
In fact, we, being human, can learn acquired behavior. What men can do is to date a girl honestly, and try to not hurt them. I think an important thing here is not to go out too deeply in the wrong time, because if we both have so deep and strong relationship and dependence, we need to pay a big price to end up this relationship.


婚前性關係在21 世紀早已不是禁忌，但是我認為，假如某人是想要把另一個人當作是很認真的對象來交往的話，應該要盡可能把親密關係的時間點盡量延後。此點見仁見智。我個人覺得交往就像拆禮物，當你還在拆包裝紙時你的心跳仍然持續的加速，而當你看到禮物時，你的心跳就將從最高峰開始下降了。
Having sex before marriage has been no longer a taboo for a long period in the 21st century; nevertheless, I think it is much better to prolong the time point for extremely close touch as possible as you can if you see your relationship more serious. Of course, it depends on different opinions. In my opinion, dating is like the process to open a gift. People’s heartbeat speed up continuously when opening a gift, and after you know what the gift is, it is the time your heart jump sound are going to slow down.


我有個好笑的想法....也許下次約會時女生要求男生約會前在家裡『解決』一下再來赴約會是個好主意。我猜以女生敏感的直覺，一定能夠察覺到你男朋友在少了生理上的驅動外，他對你的真實情感如何。不要笑！也許這對男生也是一個好機會，說不定能夠藉此察覺你到底是喜歡這個女孩的哪些特質，還是發現，原來你根本不喜歡她？！
I have a funny idea. Maybe it’s a good idea that on next time dating, women can ask for their boy friends to “solve” the needs by themselves at home and then go dating. I guess by women’s sensitive observation, they can feel and know that how much your boyfriend love you out from original physiological drive. Don’t laugh~~. Maybe it is a good chance for men who can find out what reasons you love her or how you like your girlfriend’s personality. Do you love her? Or you suddenly feel that you don’t like her at all ?!

在虐貓事件底下的新奇想法 Some odd ideas about the cat abuse events

前陣子從一個科技新貴的虐貓事件到外交官夫人的貓被傷害，在社會上激起一陣不小的漣漪。網友們憤恨不平的揪出元兇並群起撻伐。當然，沒有人會說虐貓是對的。不過當人們宰殺其他動物如牛豬雞時為什麼就不會正義凜然的出來『保護動物』呢，難道這些動物就該死？說來說去，可能......我不得不承認.......最該死的其實....就是我們人類，百分之百的自私。其實我們對待動物的一套標準哪有什麼所謂愛護跟不愛護存在？不好意思的說，那就是依照牠們對我們人類的利用價值而決定的。貓跟狗一個可愛一個忠實，恩恩..有資格當我們的朋友，那白老鼠人類覺得不討喜就拿來當作化學毒劑或是新藥品的實驗樣本，還有的動物被拿來做成毛皮大衣或者當地毯。那豬呢，不好意思…我們比較喜歡你在碗盤裡的樣子。

我在想... I am thinking about.....

我在想，假如今天沒有豬牛羊的存在，也許貓肉狗肉就變成光明正大的在市場裡販售，當然，為了你我的生存，沒有人會在餐桌上指著對方鼻子為了吃貓肉狗肉大吵一架。


呵呵呵...我承認我的軟弱，我也沒法做到完美的愛護動物。或許這個問題本身就是無解。這就是物競天擇架構底下的自然現象。說不定動物們在達爾文進化的架構底下，緩慢努力的改變自己的基因來適應跟人類共處呢…


我還是比較想回到人的問題上來，而這也是我比較感興趣的部分


下次當我們看到有些人攀炎附勢升官發財時，或許我們不該抱怨他們的狗腿行為，因為他們只不過是為了生存努力的扮演好稱職的貓狗角色，以獲得主人的青睞而已。有的人是樸實無華，為公司努力工作的水牛，但是耕犁一輩子老了之後還是被丟棄在田埂邊，另外乳牛則是被榨到沒有乳汁為止。那雞呢，平時活躍意見很多，但是真的有重大決策要承擔責任時又缺乏勇氣，這樣怎會獲得大老闆的喜愛？最糟的是還喜歡早上起來沽沽沽叫農夫起床，殊不知現在台灣年輕人喜歡半夜上網聊天打電動，最奢求能夠一覺睡到中午，然後走到對面麥當勞點個麥香雞來飽餐一頓。有的人比較運氣不好，剛好就是不機靈又有點懶的豬隻，下場…鐵定也不太好


那你會問我說，是不是每個人都應該努力當個『人』，或者至少也要努力當個『貓或狗』呢，我的回答是：一半一半。 假如這個世界上沒有了牛雞豬羊等牲畜，那我們這些人就再也吃不到日本神戶牛排或是澳洲小羊排了。很明顯的，假如我們社會上缺乏一群在大家眼中比較不好的職業如清潔隊員或是建築工人，我們就算是那些富人之一還高興的起來嗎，有人幫有錢人處理垃圾或造橋鋪路嗎？所以，每一種動物對人類都是重要的，同樣，每一種職業對這個社會都很重要。當然，每個人都可以選擇所愛的動物來當，絕對可以選擇也當一條『狗』，不論是當有用的警犬或是當一條哈巴狗。那在姿色上有優勢的人，當個『美麗波斯貓』或許是個不錯的主意，或許因此少奮鬥三十年呢。當然，貓狗也不要真的太得意，因為在那些有權有錢的人面前，也許在他們心中也不過就是阿貓阿狗的地位呀，哈哈。


愛你所選，我覺得當每一種動物都好，而且也都有很大的貢獻。不管當什麼動物都要快樂，即使在要進去屠宰場之前的一刻，也都應該帶著笑容的成為下一刻主人宴席上的佳餚。


會不會有點太爭議性了？社會上不是絕對性，但大多是很現實的。
我希望我自己能夠多體會各職業他們的辛勞，多一點同理心。

未來在等待的人才 A Whole New Mind (Part 2)

未來在等待的人才 A Whole New Mind (Part 1)

在這裡他所謂的高感性是指觀察趨勢和機會，以創造優美或感動人心的作品，編織引人入勝的故事，以及結合看似不相干的概念，轉化為新事物的能力。高體會指的是體察他人情感，熟悉人與人微妙互動，懂得為自己與他人尋找喜樂，以及在繁瑣事物中發覺意義與目的的能力。而這些俗話說要『用心去感受』的東西，大多很仰賴我們右腦的運作。
Here High Concept means the ability for observing big tendencies and chances and then creating beautiful and touching creations. It is easy for High Concept people to make an interesting story and combine concepts looked like with no relation then present a new concept.
High Touch indicates to perceive other people’s feelings and be familiar with human relationship; to learn how to find fun & happiness for you and other people and pursue life meanings in our daily life.
We think these things need to be experienced by our heart. And most of these abilities mentioned above rely on our right brain.


要提升在新時代所需高感性和高體會的能力，他舉出了六個主要方向及練習的辦法，依序是
To improve High Concept & High Touch abilities fit for the new age, Pink gave us six main directions:

1. 設計： 不只有功能，還重設計。
Design: Not only for function, but for design itself.

2. 故事： 不只有論點，還說故事。
Story: Not only give arguments, but tell stories.

3. 整合： 不只談專業，還需整合。
Symphony: Not only discuss professional skills, but need to integrate them.

4. 關懷： 不只講邏輯，還給關懷。
Empathy: Not only emphasize logic, but care about others.

5. 玩樂： 不只能正經，還會玩樂。
Play: Not only be serious always, but understand playing.

6. 意義： 不只顧賺錢，還重意義。
Meaning: Not only care about money earning, but think about meaning.

在這裡要先談一下左右腦的功能區塊。基本上我們左右腦是一起合作處理事情，但明顯分工，左腦司管邏輯，右腦處理綜合資訊，左腦解釋細節，右腦凝聚要旨。當你看到你的兄弟姊妹能夠叫出他們正確的名字，靠著正是我們的右腦，而我們的右腦絕對不是看到你弟弟時判斷因為你弟弟眼睛直徑有幾公分，鼻子有多高，臉有多少面積然後向是數學證明是一步一步推敲出：哦，原來他是你弟弟，或是他是我媽媽。右腦處理資訊的複雜性絕對不是邏輯可以解釋的。右腦同時也負責語言的隱喻，當我們說『宰相肚裡能撐船』時，左腦立刻分析一條船在一個人的肚子裡，但這顯然邏輯不通，於是左腦就像右腦求助。但右腦告訴左腦，別擔心，他並不是肚子特大號不同於常人，從整體看來那是代表他是一個非常有度量的人，因此，左右腦缺一不可。
Let’s talk about functions of left and right brain. Basically, left and right brain usually cooperate to handle everything but have different functions. Left brain managers logic but right brain synthesizes information; left brain focus on details but right brain generalizes main ideas. When you see your brothers or sisters and you can call their names correctly, you just rely on your right brain. Our right brains, however, do not make a judge by analyzing how many centimeters the diameter of your brother’s eye is, how tall your brother’s nose is, or what square measure his face is and then get the answer that he is your brother like proving a math formula. The process way of right brain is quite complex, hard to be explained by logic. On the other hand, right brain deals with metaphor in language. An example is when Chinese people say “A prime minister's stomach can hold a boat”, our left brain immediately analyses that there is a boat in a person’s stomach. You know that it is none sense at all in logic. So, our left brain seeks for help to our right brain. Our right brain tells our left brain: Don’t worry! He doesn’t have a terrible big stomach which can put a boat in it. The concept here actually means “A great person is large-hearted or magnanimous”. So, both left and right brains are indispensable.


右腦就像是一張圖畫，令人驚奇的事情是不管全世界什麼部落，對臉部表情所代表的情緒解讀幾乎完全呈現一致性，而正是我們人類獨有的東西，電腦學不來的 。這沒有公式可循，就好像電腦無法利用什麼套用好的公式解讀每個人不同情緒及感官需求一樣。
Right brain is like a picture. One thing amazing and unique for human is that wherever people live, they have all the same explanation for our facial expression. Absolutely, computers can not do it. There is no formula here, just as computers can not use formula written already to recognize every different kind of emotions and human’s sense impressions.


設計--是典型的全腦綜合能力，就是實用與意涵的結合，改造環境以符合人類需求，賦予意義的活動。實際上做設計也等於做生意，驚人創新市場的能力在科技市場一樣沒有例外。手機鈴聲，動畫或是更換面版的產值幾乎都要追上手機本身的花費。其實人人都有設計的能力。很多創新的設計其實也是將原本的不同觀念重組而成。他建議可以買個筆記本，當你看到某個產品不合你胃口時可以自己想像這產品應該怎樣怎樣比較好，然後把你的想法寄給廠商，說不定你就是下一個設計師呢。
Design. It is a whole brain ability, the combination of practicability and meaning. It is an activity to change our environment to suit our demands and make it meaningful. In fact, we can say design is a business. There is no exception even in Hi-tech marketing that design express astonishing effects. The output value from personalized mobile phone ring tones, animations and skins almost have surpassed costs of mobile phones themselves. Who are good designers? We all have talents for design. In fact, many innovations are just reconstructed by various old concepts. Pink suggests us to buy a notebook. When you see a product you are not satisfied with, you can design and think how to improve it and then you may mail your ideas to the manufacturers. Maybe you are just the next big designer!


故事--如生活體驗同樣不可或缺。他符合高感性及高體會能力。講故事是一種能夠用人類最能接受的方式幫助我們瞭解邏輯，同時帶有情感衝擊的方法。相較於一份條列式的簡報，故事更讓人記憶深刻且寓意深長。Ursula K. Le Guin 說從格林童話到戰爭與和平，故事是人類發明用來理解事物的基本工具。歷史上曾有不使用輪子的文明，但沒有不講故事的人類社群。那如何培養說故事的技巧？除了可以自己在家裡練習寫些短短的自創故事之外，加入各地的說故事團體活動也是一個很好的辦法，再不然也可以上網訂閱故事 http://www.one-story.com/
Story, just like our life experiences, is indispensable and need both High Concept and High Touch ability. Telling story is the best way to help people understand logic and the way people are easy to accept. With emotion impact, comparing with listed PowerPoint briefing, stories make us impressed and have deep meanings for us. Ursula K. Le Guin said “from Grimm's Fairy Tales to War and Peace (Война и мир), stories are the invention used to help people make things understood. There were some tribes who didn’t use wheels in our history, but we have never had any society who didn’t tell stories”. By the way, how to improve our skills for telling a story? First, you can try to write down some short stories at home. Besides that, it is a good way to join some telling story groups. In Addition, you can subscribe some e-material stories on the internet. http://www.one-story.com/


整合--最明顯的例子就是音樂作曲家和指揮家。他們就是駕馭原本毫不相干的音樂旋律，樂器演奏來產生好聽的曲子。當然今日整合的能力並不是只有音樂家才需要，在商業工作上也是重要。在亞洲左向大腦思考工作者與電腦自動化的影響下，如何統合有效資訊，找出在資訊之間的特殊關係，進而找出棘手問題決策解答的能力變的很重要。隱喻在這裡扮演很重要的角色，因為在大量資訊的背後，只有人腦能以類比的隱喻方式思考，看出電腦無法偵測的事件關連。他說到明星主管比較少依賴因果式推論，反而常用屬於整合能力的直覺。關於這點我不能否認，但是還是抱持一些懷疑的態度，因為如果所有問題找不出合理理由來論證的時候都推說這是我經驗告訴我，這是我的直覺告訴我這樣做才對的話，也是很可能造成決策上的錯誤。 那要培養整合的方法？就是聽聽交響樂或是練習繪畫都是好辦法。這能夠刺激你的右腦，讓沈睡已久的右腦慢慢的越來越好用。
Symphony. The most apparent example is music composers and conductors. They conduct melodies and different instruments which are not originally related to become pleasing music. Of course, nowadays not only music composers or conductors do need the ability of symphony, but it is also an important ability on business. By the reason of Asia left-brain workers and computer automation, how to integrate useful information and look for the troublesome question answer from special relationship behind information is becoming very critical. The way of metaphor plays an important role here. That is because only human beings can consider with analogical metaphorical way behind lots of information and see the relations that computers can not detect. In the book Pink mentions that star managers less make decisions by reason & cause inference, but more depend on their intuition. As to this point, in my opinion, I can not deny it totally, but I have some questions here. If managers always say: why I will do this is according to my rich experience, and it is my intuition, but they don’t refer some convincing arguments about questions, I think it would be dangerous for making mistakes. By the way, how to develop this ability? It is recommend that listen to symphonies or practice painting. That will stimulate your right brain to make your right brain stronger.


關懷--也就是同理心，是感覺他人內心的感受，是想像力的高度展現。如今高IQ能力變的很容易取代，而電腦不可模仿，海外勞工很難透過網路提供的技能之一，就是同理心。用右腦去覺察他人的情緒與需求能夠讓你的服務對他們的生活產生意義。近年來新的醫療趨勢也大大強調同理心的重要。假如醫生只是聽你講述症狀，甚至只是看到一些客觀的檢查數據就開一些特定的藥，那其實這工作交給電腦來做就可以了。那麼病人只要填一填表格就可以分析你得到什麼病然後吃什麼藥。但顯然這絕對不可行。醫生得經常運用傾聽和直覺，運用同理心聽見隱藏在單純言語病情敘事背後病人他們所要透露給你的訊息。一般大家還有一個既定認知，那就是女生比男生更有同理心。一般說來這沒有錯，那是因為女性大腦天生適合感受他人情緒，而多數男性大腦適合推理分析。當然並非女生就一定有一個『女生的大腦』，男人就一定沒有一個『女人的大腦』，很多跨領域者，創意者，富有同理心的人往往在心理上都有雙性思維方式。這讓他們在面對事情時有雙倍的選擇。在此我並不是說特意學習女生的溫柔婉約或學習男生的陽剛行為就表示他 / 她 是一個傑出雙性思考的人才。相對的，當你多多磨練你右腦能力之時，你就能夠自然而然在面對事情時選擇使用出比較適合的男 / 女性向來面對問題。
Empathy, to understand other people's feelings and problems, is an extreme behavior of imagination. High IQ advantage now is easy to be replaced; nevertheless, the ability that computers can not imitate, offshore laborers are hard to provide is empathy. To perceive others emotion and psychological needs can help your services make sense to them. Lately a new trend in medical field shows the importance of empathy. We assume that doctors hear your spoken symptom and make some medical check then give you the medicine according to the examination results, why a computer can not finish it? Maybe 20 years later patients can stay at home and just go on the internet to fill in some question tables then computer can decide what medicine you should take. Haha, you know that is absurd. In fact, doctors have to listen to you and use empathy to hear patients’ messages hidden under their condition statement. An interesting thing is that it is a preconceived idea women are more empathic than men. Generally speaking, it is correct. Women’s brains are more sensitive to others emotion but men’s brain structure are better at logic and analyzing. However, the truth is not that every woman must have a “woman’s brain” or a man must not have a “women’s brain”. Many multi-professional workers and creators with empathy usually have bisexual thinking mode mentally. It is good because they have double choices when they deal with different problems. I don’t mean that men learn women’s sweet purposely or women express tough like a bad boy can help them and shows they are good bisexual thinking experts. On the contrary, when you start to train your right brain, you are gradually able to express more suitable male / female attitudes when facing problems very naturally.


玩樂--就像其他五個感知力一樣，玩樂已經從『有罪』獲得了平反。玩樂已經成為工作，生意，和個人健康很重要的一部份。除此之外，愉悅，幽默感也是右腦特質的具體展現，包括體察情境，總攬全局，匯集不同觀點形成新視野的能力
當然，這些也都是電腦無法取代的能力。
Play, just like other five directions, play is not a kind of “guilt” anymore. It is a part for work, business and personal health. In addition, happiness and humor sense is also a good expression of right brain, including perceiving emotion, controlling overall situation, integrating various views and creating new vision. Of course, all of these computers can not do it.


意義--由於我們不需整日為溫飽而奔波，我們能夠投入更多心力在尋找意義上面。這也就是為什麼現在社會上探討宗教，做人處事或是所謂靈修的課程相當的風行。人們從追求意義中找尋自我，成就快活人生。在職場上，很多企業也體認到意義的重要性。精神層面的提高也可以帶來工作環境的改善，同時激發員工的創造力和對於工作的熱情。要有同理心，學會玩樂人生，讓人生有意義，多看書及相關雜誌，多活動，多思考都是很好的方法。社會上也有很多探討這些知識的社團，不妨試著參加一兩個看看。
Meaning. We can pay more attention on looking for life meaning because now we don’t need to work all day long just for food. That’s why there are so many classes and communities about discussing religions, learning how to be a happy person or so-called soul study or meditation. People find themselves by seeking for meanings. At work, many businesses know the importance of meaning. It can help us improve the working surroundings and encourage workers’ creativity and enthusiasm. Read good books! It will help you develop empathy, teach you enjoy your life and make your life meaningful. In addition, join some activities and consider more is also helpful for you. There are many community groups which do research about these questions. It is no harm in trying one or two groups of this kind.


總之，以往已單純左腦邏輯思考在今日已經不敷使用。當然左腦還是很重要，但是更要多多使用我們右腦的能力。他認為今後MFA就有可能取代MBA 的地位。當然，硬要討論此議題其實並不是那麼有意義，更重要的是，不論你處在什麼行業，培養高體會，高感性的能力已經是必須，而且能夠讓你的生活過的更有意義。
In short, it is not enough that we only see our left brain skills important today. It is no question here our left brain is still important, but more important point is we should not ignore the right hemisphere and have to train our right brain. Pink argues that MFA will replace the position of MBA not for long. Of course, it is not that meaningful to argue the correct answer of this. I think whatever your job is, developing High Concept and High Touch abilities is necessary, and that will make your life more meaningful and interesting.


這裡有一個關於本書的大綱圖，我覺得很好，非常清楚的描繪書中的重點，有興趣可以去參考一下，網址是
I found a very good mind-map describing the summary of this book. It is very clear. Check it if you are interested in.
