老去

年龄只是标签的一种。

它是提醒着我们生命有限的指针。

而老去,像花朵的绽开和凋零一样自然。

因而,如何老去与如何活着的人生课题并无区别。

人不必在意自己老去。重要的是两件事。于这个世间曾经有所创造、分享、布施、给予。其次是充分而深刻、温柔而丰盛地爱过、被爱过。——庆山

The best way of ‘ageing well’ turns out to be the same as ‘living well’. ——Anne Karpf

How to age

An image to describe post

活在当下,是我们面对一切生命题集的解答。当下,永远不太早,也绝不会太晚。

How to age? We become more different as we age, and not less; we all flourish at different ages.

It’s through accepting that life is finite, through developing the courage to meet the inevitable losses we encounter face-on, that we acquire the greatest capacity for vitality and enjoyment of the present. ——Anne Karpf How to age

Today is a great opportunity, no matter your age. Looking back in a few years, today will seem like the time when you were young and full of potential or the moment when you could have started early or the turning point when you made a choice that benefited your future. The moment in front of you right now is a good one. Make the most of it. ——James Clear


商业向善

决定投入更多的时间在认为有价值且热爱的事情上。

来深圳创业听到最多的是如何赚钱。我却一直相信,创业者最初的动机一定是要解决一个他/她自己感兴趣且有意义的问题。赚钱只是附加品,或如Mark Cuban说的,赚钱是为了项目能够可持续发展而不是像charity那样依赖人的捐赠。

There's an ongoing problem with charities. One there's too many of them, a lot of people wanna create charities and, and not as many people want to be charitable and, and two, you want it to be self-sustaining because the only constant in any business industry is change. And so we didn't think that could work as a charity and we certainly did not wanna be dependent on contributions. ——Mark Cuban

也可以更进一步,像美国户外服装品牌巴塔哥尼亚(Patagonia)那样。从一个有社会责任感的企业,到1%的年销售额来做环保事业,变成商业向善B-Corporation,再到现在宣布将所有的股份投入保护公司商业向善的 Patagonia Purpose Trust和应对环境危机和自然保护的非营利组织 Holdfast Collective。

A good company delivers excellent products and services, and a great company does all that and strives to make the world a better place. ——Bill Ford

商业可以是剥削人们的资本毒瘤,也可以是让世界更美好的创造花园。

而我希望自己建造的花园,既能让花朵生长绽放,又能给人们带来花香。
