zz三十年改革:一场游戏,一场梦!

http://www.comment-cn.net/data/2009/0110/article_32080.html

三十年改革:一场游戏,一场梦!
 
 
  刘军宁
  美国总统老布什邀请俄罗斯总统叶利钦和中国领导人邓小平访美。一次这三位要人从白宫出门时,老布什的汽车在前面引路,叶利钦的车紧随其后,而邓小平的车则跟随在叶利钦的后面。在一个路口老布什的车往右拐弯了,叶利钦的车也跟着打了右灯往右拐,此时邓小平的司机赶紧请示老人家我们该怎么办,邓小平毫不犹豫地下了指示:“打左灯,往右拐!”——民间政治笑话
  中国的改革,从三十年前的轰轰烈烈,到今天的死气沉沉。不论官方与舆论如何打气,始终不见起色。中国的改革事业,难道真是一项不可能完成的使命?难道真的要寿终正寝了吗?
  今天中国改革所处的困境,使我想起了自二十多年前至今一直流行的一个民间看法。这个不知谁发明的看法是:不改革是等死,改革是找死!等死还是找死?这真是个大难题。最明智的选择是既改革而不找死,又守旧而不等死。所以,真正的改革只能是不死不活的、具有象征性的行为艺术。可见,中国的改革,从一开始就既注定要改,又注定无法完成。从改革的现状来看,不能不佩服这个民间智慧的先见之明。
  改革的归宿是什么?为什么中国的改革不能实现改革者所期盼的“实现社会主义自我完善”的理想结局?——因为在光鲜照人的外表下面,改革的内核中存有若干不可弥合的重大裂痕。
  首先,从所设定的目标来看,中国的改革试图通过资本主义的局部手段来解救、完善整体的社会主义。然而,这一目标在逻辑上和经验上都不成立。共产主义及其政党与市场经济资本主义是根本对立的逻辑。在一方做出妥协之后,双方也许有一个短暂的蜜月,但是他们不可能白头偕老。甚至在今天共产党新党员的入党誓词中,两者依然是不共戴天的。在现实世界中,既没有一个资本主义国家是共产党领导的,也没有一个“社会主义”国家是资本主义政党领导的。中国和外国的历史上都未曾出现过一种由共产党领导的实行资本主义的、稳定而可持续的社会制度。
  其次,中国的改革是危机累计和危机推进的改革,它绕开而不是解决旧体制中最致命的问题。这种改革用制造危机的方法来解决危机。每一项改革都试图解决一个已存在的社会危机,但是改革本身又带来了新的危机。改革不是像设计者所预期的那样结合了两种社会制度的好处,而是结合了两种社会制度的坏处。这样,各种危机就不断积累增加,并日趋接近临界点。
  第三,中国的危机在根本上是价值与信仰的危机,以及由此引发的正当性危机。这也是旧体制中最致命的问题。而改革关注的是GDP,它根本无视这方面的危机,因而也绝无可能解决这个危机。经济发展掩盖不了、更解决不了价值危机。所以,对中国的危机而言,改革只是一剂治表不治本的药。
  中国改革之所以不能善终,还有一个简单的原因,就像“变天派”所认定的,这个“天”是不可补的。改革的目标是补天,而在上面打的补丁太多太重,只会加速“天”的坍塌。所以不补天是等死,补天是找死。现行的改革已经无法在导致危机的旧价值框架内解决问题。这就注定改革修不成正果。
  等也罢,找也吧,快也罢,慢也罢,这些都说明,今天中国的改革已经失去了方向,失去了速度。
  中国人的民间智慧指出:邓小平江泽民时代的改革是“打左灯,向右转”。这似乎是改革之初执政者唯一可能的选择。毛泽东时代,是打左灯,向左转;这个选项已经被邓小平排除了。戈尔巴乔夫式的“打右灯,向右转”也已经被中国当今的执政党完全拒绝。剩下还有两个选项:一个是“打右灯,向左转”,表现为高举改革的旗帜,回归计划经济与公有制,回到中央集权,回到正统意识形态;一个是把四个转向灯都打开,四灯闪烁,但是改革之车已经原地不动了——这也许就是中国改革的现状!
  中国的改革已经进入死胡同!改革尚未完成,但是已经走到尽头。社会上的改革压力越来越大,而改革的步伐却越来越慢,以至完全停顿。
  最新的意识形态风向,最近出台的许多法律和政策都表明,在行进了三十年之后,面对无路可走的南墙,中国的改革已经开始大步折返!
  中国经过近30年补天的渐进改革,没有触动旧制度的根本,没有解决根本的制度问题,且一些新的危机和问题正在加速积累。目前,在现行的制度框架内,改革已经没有空间。
  在改革之后,如果前30年是“改革”的话,未来中国的关键词就是“改制”。不要说愿不愿意,事实上,改革已经变成昨天的一场游戏、昨夜的一场梦!

Pick Up Artist Guide - From Geek to PUA









Pick Up Artist Guide - From Geek to PUA






Even though I’d like to think I’ve always had confidence, a huge backbone and the guts to do whatever I put my mind to, it’s probably not the truth. You see, none of this stuff comes easy; you have to work at it. My ability has always been to simply complicated concepts, so for you, I have decided to break down one of the many paths that you can take to go from sitting crouched over at your computer every night to being tremendously successful with women.



Here’s my starting point, and if you’re more advanced than this, then be grateful, it will only be easier for you to progress. From the starting point, we’ll progress to being a man that women desire and with the skills to attract beautiful women.



Start

At this point, I’m assuming that you’re out of shape, not only physically, but mentally as well. Your activities are mostly sedentary ones such as being on the computer, playing video games, watching TV, playing with your cat. You might occasional participate in physical activities, but these are few and far between. Regardless, you feel you can justify this because you just “Don’t have any time”.


In terms of mental fitness, you don’t really know what to talk about with girls…. The only subjects you can properly converse on are things that are specifically related to your life. You could probably talk about the funny picture you saw on the Internet or what you did at work/school, but other than that… nothing comes to mind.


Lastly, you’re really unsure of what attracts women to men and have very little experience with them. You might have had a girlfriend once, but it really didn’t work out and you still beat yourself up over it even though it happened a few years ago.


Level 1

First, we need to build a solid foundation for you. What you need the MOST is what I like to call “Life Energy”. Life energy comes from the excitement that you get when you’re about to embark on something new. It also comes from accomplishments, and you’ll feel it every time you move closer to being the man you want to be.


ACTION STEP 1 You want to get your health handled, which includes your weight, skin… both of which will improve with daily exercise. The trick to exercising? Get into a short and VERY specific routine that you do 4-5 times a week.


Personally, I do push-ups every single time I wake up. I don’t strain myself, I take it easy but it really wakes me up and makes quite a difference in my daily energy levels. I also go walking or jogging every weekday that I’m at home.


The rule is: If I’m home, I go jogging or walking. If I walk, I do it for 30 minutes, if I jog, it’s only 10 minutes. So I end up jogging most of the time because I don’t feel like doing a 30 minute walk.


You should find your own specific routines, and make sure that they become as habitual as brushing your teeth before you go to sleep. You must do it even if you don’t feel like it!


Get your health handled and remember it’s not the end result that counts; it’s the fact that you are headed in the right direction that’s important.


ACTION STEP 2 Start learning about women from men who are successful with women. If all your friends are unsuccessful with women, do NOT listen to them. That’s the first mistake that MOST guys make when learning with women… they talk to people who actually don’t have a clue how to interact successfully with women. Remember the old saying about the blind lead the blind?


ACTION STEP 3 Instead, find friends that are actually successful with women. Befriend them, hang out with them, and see what they do. That’s really going to be your BEST option. If you find it difficult to find friends that are truly successful with women, then the second best option is to read up on it… I highly recommend Gambler’s PUA Home Study Course and videos, they are the absolute best material for guys that want to learn how to attract women naturally, without any gimmicks. What I really like about Gambler is that he has so many videos of pickup, you learn so much from watching him at work!


Here’s what you want to KNOW about women, make sure you know the answers to these questions. If you can’t write out answers to these questions, then you NEED to do your research and figure them out.



General Questions
- What are the elements that attract women to men?
- Why do guys get stuck in the “Let’s just be friends” mode with women, and how can you avoid it?
- What makes a guy good looking to women?


Approaches
- Describe two different approaches you can take to talk to a woman you want to meet, what are openers?
- What is social value, why is it important to you?
- How do most screw up and give this value away when they talk to women for the first time?


Pick Up
- What will you talk about with women to create interest, attraction?
- How can you tell if she’s interested in you?


All the answers to these questions are in Gambler’s Home Study System in the PUATraining Vault (Highly recommended, you’re a transformed man after this program) and in David DeAngelo’s Double Your Dating book (Cheaper, Shorter).


Level 2

You’re headed in the right direction in terms of physical health. You’ve taken some initiative and are actually following through with it. You still find yourself sitting at home more often than not, and you’re definitely not talking to women frequently enough. You might have tried recently, but it really didn’t go over well. Yet, you’re going in the right direction… you’re looking for answers and if you persist long enough, you’ll achieve your goal.


Alright, now we get to the fun stuff, which is your appearance. You should already be working out, and that’s the important part. Working out improves your posture, skin and gives you an attractive glow. It’s difficult to describe, but people will instinctively know that you’ve just been working out, even if you’re still overweight and even if YOU don’t see any immediate results.


Assuming you’re working out, you’ll want to take care of the easier things.


ACTION STEP 1 First, get a haircut, a different one and… a GOOD one. If you don’t know what’s in style, and let’s be honest, you probably don’t since you aren’t in the hair industry, then go find someone who does know. Expect to pay AT LEAST $40-$100 for the haircut from a hair stylist. Look up the best place in your city and find a stylist that knows hair. Remember, when you’re getting that $100 haircut, you’re not actually paying for the cut itself, but more for the advice on WHAT to get as a haircut. If they can’t give you advice, then find someone else.


I guarantee you’ll feel awkward going in to this new hair salon, and telling them you want them to recommend you something. Just suck it up, they’ll take good care of you, and you’ll feel much better after you’re done with it.


You don’t always need to go back to the same place, once you get that new hair style, you can go to a cheaper place to simply maintain it. Make sure it’s a new look… because it will encourage you to adopt a new personality.


ACTION STEP 2 A wise man once said, “It’s not because your teeth are ugly that you have to have dress ugly.” Listen to this guys… even if you’re dealing with certain physical issues, it doesn’t mean you can’t make the rest of your appearance as good as possible.


So where do you start? Well, first with facial hair. Whatever your style is, make sure it’s perfect. If you’re clean shaven, then make sure there isn’t a single hair out of place. If you’re going for a 5 o’clock shadow, then make sure it’s consistent. There’s nothing worse than a guy with random facial hairs.


ACTION STEP 3 Afterward, get yourself a pair of nice new shoes. The fancier the shoes are the better. I can’t emphasize enough how important shoes are, they’ll completely change the way people perceive you. (Yes, people ARE superficial)


ACTION STEP 4 Finally, you’ll want to make sure that your clothes are relatively new, ironed and fit well. Style over comfort. If you’re wearing baggy jeans that are 4 years old, then it’s time to get new ones. Same goes to that 2 year old shirt, throw it out. Lastly, when shopping remember, quality over quantity. Go with designer clothes and buy less.


In case you’re tempted to buy the same things over and over again… and most guys are, make sure you go with a girl that has style. Most girls will be happy to go shopping with clueless guys and they’ll be more than happy to tell you that your butt looks greats in those new jeans. If you want a little more advice on how to look good, make sure to read up on our looks article. (referencing how to look good article)


ACTION STEP 5 Start talking to people… lots of people. Talk to everyone you meet to build your social skills. Get into the habit of saying hello to people you wouldn’t normally talk to in your daily life. From the bus driver, to the cashier, to the waitress and even that random guy just walking in the street. Listen, if you can’t talk to a guy you don’t care about, then you’re going to have huge problems when trying to talk to a girl you’re interested in. Get in the habit of striking up random conversations with everyone you meet. Just like working out, talking to strangers is a skill you need to slowly build up over time.


Recap:
- New Haircut Style
- New Facial Hair style
- New Shoes
- New Clothes
- Start talking to strangers, everywhere



Level 3

At this point, you’re still on your way to getting your health handled, and your self esteem has definitely risen to higher levels. Let’s recap, by now, you should have a new haircut, new clothes, new knowledge about women and more socializing experience. If you’ve made It here, then know that there’s still a lot to go, but from this point, you’re pretty much assured to be successful, it’s just a matter of time.


ACTION STEP 1 Once you have a solid foundation, you’re ready to really go out and meet people. First, you’re going to want to work on openers. An opener is a simple term used to describe the beginning of a conversation with a girl you want to meet. It can range from being overly complicated such as an opinion opener, to the easiest opener of all, which is just saying: “hi”. So prepare your opener in advance because when the time comes, you won’t know what to say. If you already took care of the opener, then you can just go in without thinking… and if you happen to think of something better on the way in, that’s fine. Otherwise, just use that default opener.


Sample Openers
- “Hey, are you guys shy? I’ve been standing over there for 5 minutes and you still haven’t said hi!”
- “I’d like a female opinion, who lies more? Men or women ?”
- “Hi, I just arrived in -any location name-

ACTION STEP 2 Go out and practice approaching. At this point, the only thing that’s really going to get you to the next level is some practice. So get out and talk to as many women as you can. It’s been said that you must approach at least 500 times to lose your fear of rejection, and some say it never entirely goes away. That being said, it really doesn’t take that long to get good at something. Just imagine how good you’ll be after you approach 20 women. Let me tell you, the improvements will be spectacular!


ACTION STEP 3 Write about your interactions with women. What went wrong, what was right… and even write what you COULD have said during your interaction. Ever think: “Ahh, I SHOULD have said THAT!” but when you were on the spot, you just didn’t think of it? Well, write it down. Eventually, a similar situation will arise and you’ll know exactly what to say the second time around.


Recap:
- Learn some openers
- Practice, Practice, Practice,
- Review your interactions, think about what you could have done.

Level 4

This level is the hardest one to get to… why? Because if you’re at this level, it means that you’ve been practicing the art of approaching and you actually improved quite a bit with women. You should be proud of yourself because most guys don’t ever approach and then they wonder why they aren’t successful with women. Now if you’ve had bad interactions, that’s perfectly normal. You’re supposed to be rejected, because that’s when you really learn what you did wrong. In addition to experience, your overall image should continue to morph into a more modern, stylish individual. You should be at the point where, if you ran into one of your friends that you haven’t seen in a year, he would have a hard time recognizing you.


ACTION STEP 1 What usually happens at this point is you encounter a sticking point. You might be great at opening, but a poor story teller. Conversely, you might be a good story teller, but have no idea how to build rapport and attraction with someone. In this action step, you must identify what your sticking point is and figure out a way to overcome it. The absolute easiest way to overcome your sticking point is simply ask for help from other guys that have successfully overcome it. If you don’t have any of these guys in your life, then the best resource for all this knowledge is going to be at puatraining.com


ACTION STEP 2 Practice, practice, practice. You must go out until your game becomes part of you and you don’t even to think about it. When you see a beautiful girl you want to approach, you immediately approach her without even worrying about what you’re going to say or do. You just do it. When you get good at something, you don’t think, you just do it. Get to that point.


Recap:
- Identify your sticking point(s)
- Devise ways to overcome them
- Practice


Level 5

The Pickup Artist. Yes, if you get to this point, you can now consider yourself a pickup artist, a guy who can successfully interact with women and create attraction on a consistent basis. Speaking to you should be a fun and enjoyable experience. At this point, you’re ready to teach your knowledge to others and you can pin-point where others make mistakes when interacting with women.


ACTION STEP 1 They say the best way to learn something is to teach it, and at this point in the game, you should be teaching someone else less knowledgeable than you. Show them what you do, how to do it and you’ll realize how far you’ve come. Don’t be frustrated when they make silly mistakes. Instead, help them correct it; it takes time to get it right.


ACTION STEP 2 Similar to martial arts, there are many different styles that are all effective. Once you have mastered a certain style, it’s time to learn another one. Begin learning a new pickup style, the same way as you’ve learned the previous one. Once you’ve already mastered a certain pickup style, learning another one is easy. Eventually, you’ll get to a point where you can blend all the styles together and form your own.


Recap:
- Begin teaching others
- Learn a new style


Level 6

At this point, you have developed your own pickup style which you have refined over the years. You understand the differences between direct and indirect approaches and which one is more advantageous in a particular situation. You can explain why the techniques work, why people behave the way they do, you can finally explain and dissect human interactions. Women don’t seem irrational anymore even though you still think they are still a little crazy. You find joy in knowing that the world makes sense after all, and you’re ready to move on to other things that are now more important to you.


ACTION STEP 1 Find what you’re really passionate about and apply everything you learned about human interactions to it. Be thankful you’ve made it this far, be grateful for all the wonderful people in your life and finally, be humble, anyone can learn this, it’s not that hard.


Recap:
- Find your passion in life

There's A Hero

There's A Hero
Billy Gilman

There's a flower in the smallest garden reaching for the light
There's a candle in the darkest corner conquering the night
There is amazing strength in a willing hand
There are victories that you've never planed

There's a hero in everybody's heart

There's a fire inside of everybody burning clear and bright
There's a power in the faintest heart beat that cannot be denied

Go on and trust yourself you can you can ride the wind
your gonna take your dreams where they've never been

There's a hero in everybody's heart

Go on and trust yourself you can you can ride the wind
your gonna take your dreams where they've never been

There's a hero in everybody's heart
There's a hero in everybody's heart


你我皆英雄
Translated by sz

再小的花园里,也有一颗小花,向着阳光努力生长
再暗的角落中,也有一星烛光,与黑夜殊死搏斗
坚定待命的手中,蕴藏着令人惊奇的力量
在未知的未来,有许多的胜利等着你我去争取

每个人的心中,都有个英雄

每个人的体内,都有把烈火,烧得清晰而明亮
再微弱的心跳里,也有股力量,谁都无法否认

相信自己!坚持下去!你便可御风而上
你的梦想,将被带到前所未有的高度

每个人的心中,都有个英雄

相信自己!坚持下去!你便可御风而上
你的梦想,将被带到前所未有的高度

每个人的心中,都有个英雄
每个人的心中,都有个英雄

FreeBSD portsnap的镜像

地址: portsnap.hshh.org

使用方法:
/etc/portsnap.conf 里面更改
SERVERNAME=portsnap.hshh.org

portsnap简介:
portsnap从6.0开始引进系统,给与用户方便的更新系统ports
portsnap的命令比较少
fetch 获取数据
extract 释放全部ports
update 更新ports
第一次使用可以 portsnap fetch extract
以后使用可以 portsnap fetch update
如果写在cron可以用 portsnap cron update
重开portsnap.hshh.org
这个是反向代理做的,只有用的人多才有效果。不是以前的全镜像,真不爽。

表错情

当我错把见到的任何一个长发披肩的年轻美女都当作她并且为之惆怅郁闷烦躁的时候,其实别人已经离开了广州。现在回想,真是表错情。不过其中的经历,也货真价实是个成长超脱的过程,只要你自己认真去对待。
