生活不止眼前的苟且

《生活不止眼前的苟且》
作词：高晓松;   作曲：高晓松;     演唱：许巍

 

妈妈坐在门前
哼着花儿与少年
虽已事隔多年
记得她泪水涟涟
那些幽暗的时光
那些坚持与慌张
坐着那扇门前
妈妈对着我说
生活不止眼前的苟且，还有诗和远方的田野，
你赤手空拳来到人世间,为找到那片海不顾一切

交通工具

十年的COE到了，上个月把摩托车刹了，人又回到了步行加公共交通的模式。如此一来，好处是走路炼身的机会明显多了，但日程安排上显然没以前灵活了， 上下班路上的时间也比以前多了近一个小时。有时候，为了多走点路，回程中，就直接在出裕廊岛关卡处下车， 然后步行5-6公里， 换着路线走回家，到家出一身汗，刚好洗个澡休息。

总的来说，新加坡的公共交通还是蛮方便的，但是裕廊岛除外。于是，时不时地， 买车的想法和日程也就慢慢地提了上来。

头发少怎么办? 告诉你解决头发少的方​法

头发少怎么办?大家不难发现，如今很多人都会出现头发少的问题，随着大人们生活压力的不断加大，以及环境污染的巨大影响。如何解决头发少也就成了人们关注的重大焦点，今天，小编就总结了一些头发少怎么办的方法与大家分享，希望对大家有所帮会组。

头发少怎么办奇招之一：养
头发少应该特别注意所用的洗发露，一般的洗发露或许无害，但更应该选择可以改善头发少的洗发露，比如含有海藻、生姜等弱酸性且含氨基酸营养成份的洗发水!因为含有海藻或生姜成分的洗发露，可以让头发生长的更快，但是要注意的是同时头发也会因此变干，所以洗发后要用护发素润发。
此外，用洗发露洗完头后，也可以使用茶水或者啤酒以及醋的稀释液来涤荡头发，长时间的坚持这样洗下去，也是个很好的生发护发的方法。还有柚子核煮水护发也是不错的选择，洗头后把柚子核选用25克煮水后，把汁液涂抹于头顶发根，每天抹两次，可加速头发生长，并且让头发变的更黑!

头发少怎么办奇招之二：生
生发是治疗头发少的最直接最应该的方法，因为：无论怎么遮实际上头发仍然很少;无论怎么养效果都不如生发直接!这里有几个生发的中药食疗方子，治疗头发少效果还不错，打架可以试试!
1)选取巨胜子、当归、芍药各30克，胡粉15克，研成细末后用蜂密调和成粟大的丸，每天用黑豆汤送服11颗，坚持服用半个月，则可达到滋阴补血，养发生发的目的。
2)选用生干地黄、肉苁蓉、当归、芍药各30克，胡粉15克。全部研成粉末，然后同样用蜂蜜调成粟米大丸子，每天用黑豆汤服11颗，坚持服用半个月，也可以滋肾补肝，养血生发。
3)选取何首乌、胡桃仁各30克，购买猪脑适量。先把何首乌放入清水煎煮后取汁液，再将胡桃仁、猪脑放入锅中煮熟，加盐调味后食用即可。一天一次或两天一次，服用时候喝汤吃物，就可以达到补肾益肝，生发护发的效果。

头发少怎么办奇招之三：遮
头发少最为简单的解决之道便是遮，浅显的说就是让本来稀少的头发看上去不再稀少。但是“遮”也是有技巧和条件限制的，头发稀少若是在比较轻度的状态，就能通过遮来解决，否则也会出现遮无可遮的现象!那么要是条件允许，头发少要怎么遮呢?
1、 头发少怎么办?分层遮盖!天生头发少，最适宜的发型是短发。可将头顶处的头发剪出层次，分为两层或者多层以掩盖因头发少而露出的发根，让头发整体看上去浓密一些。要是头发比较纤细的话，也同样可以用将头发剪出层次的办法：头顶部位的头发剪成两层或多层，脸颊两侧头发稍微留长，后枕部位的头发再略长与两鬓， 最后将发脚剪平，这样看起来头发会丰满，茂盛一些。
2、头发少怎么办?烫发遮盖! 烫发可以使头发显得茂盛些，但是也不是所有发质的都适合用这个办法!若不清楚自己的发质是否可以烫发，可以用一撮自己的头发作下试验，烫一下那撮头发，看看怎样烫发效果最好。但是要千万注意烫发的时候出现的头发分界不要用直线处理，最好能够呈Z形分界，这样在烫发之后才不会在分界出出现稀疏的头发发根，影响美观。
3、 头发少怎么办?蓬松遮盖!在每次洗完头发后，在吹干头发时让头发向前垂下，尽可能把头发吹离头皮，让头发发根离开头皮，这样头发就显得有分量。要是不愿意吹干，可以用双手在头顶周围旋转式摩擦生热，然后拨开头发尽可能使头发显得蓬松，等头发干了之后再梳理。这样头发因为蓬松而出现空隙间隔，头发看起来自然 也就显得多些又自然。

头发少怎么办奇招之四：植
一般别人问头发少怎么办，我最先考虑到的建议就是植发!头发少通过自体头发移植手术及再生手术的方法进行治疗是最快捷最有效最直接的方法，自体头发移植甚至可以用来治疗秃顶和脱发，甚至是个人的发际调整，那治疗小小的头发少就不在话下了!
自体头发移植手术采用表皮的局部麻醉，毫无痛苦,手术后种入自己其他部位的头发毛囊，等待2～3月后会毛囊内开始长出新头发，植入的头发会永久生长、有正常的生理特性，就如真实的头发一样。

以上就是头发少怎么办的方法了，大家都有所了解了吗?如今虽然越来越多的人出现了头发少的问题，但是，从医学上来说，头发少还是可以根治的，因此大家也无需过于的忧虑与恐慌，过度得担心也是导致病情加重的因素之一哦!

肾好头发才秀美

人人都想拥有一头浓密、乌黑、柔顺、飘逸的秀发，特别是女人。头发不好的女人估计就和美丽无缘了，这就是大家不惜代价捣饬头发的原因。头发这么重要，大家不重视也不行，只是大家要知道，仅仅靠这些外部的措施是不够的，只有更加重视内因才行。那决定头发好坏的内因是什么呢？就是肾。

《黄帝内经》中说“女子七岁肾气盛，齿更发长”，还说肾“其华在发”。小孩从出生到换牙齿之前，头发也不好，是因为小孩的肾气还没有充实，头发没有得到肾精的滋养。女孩到七岁的时候，肾气充盛了，肾精足以滋养头发，头发开始变得浓密乌黑有光泽。因为头发是靠肾精滋养的，所以头发也可以作为肾精是否充足的外在征象，《黄帝内经》说肾“其华在发”。肾气旺盛，肾精充足，头发有足够的营养，头发才会靓丽；肾气亏虚，肾精不足，头发得不到足够的营养，就会导致头发焦枯发黄无光泽，或者头发白，脱落等问题。由此可见，只有保护好肾，才是拥有一头秀发的根本措施。

补肾美发的食物

黑豆
黑豆本身是补肾佳品。因为豆为肾之谷，黑为肾的色。所以五谷之中，豆最补肾；五色之中，黑色最补肾。同时黑豆还具有独特的美容护发功效。现在研究发现，黑豆含有丰富的维生素B群及维生素E，皆为养颜美容所需之营养成分，尤其它含多量的泛酸，对乌发不变白有帮助。

黑豆的食用量每天30克左右，食用方法不限，可根据个人习惯而异，如烤黑豆、黑豆豆浆、黑豆粥等。

黑芝麻
黑芝麻也是补肾美发的佳品。黑芝麻具有补肝肾、润五脏、益气力、长肌肉、填脑髓的作用，可用于治疗肝肾精血不足所致的眩晕、须发早白、脱发、腰膝酸软、四肢乏力、步履艰难、五脏虚损、皮燥发枯、肠燥便秘等病症。现在研究发现，黑芝麻富含生物素，对身体虚弱、早衰而导致的脱发效果较好，对药物性脱发、某些疾病引起的脱发也会有一定疗效。
黑芝麻的食用量在每天15克左右，食用方法也很多，如直接食用、芝麻糊、芝麻粥等。

常用的中成药

复方首乌地黄丸（地黄、墨旱莲、女贞子、制何首乌），具有滋阴补肾，乌须黑发的功效，可以治疗须发早白等。本药为黑色有光泽的浓缩丸，每次3克，每天2次，温开水送服。

精乌胶囊（黄精、墨旱莲、女贞子、制何首乌），具有补肝肾、益精血、乌须发的功效，可以治疗须发早白、脱发等。本药为胶囊，每粒0.45克，每次6粒，每天3次，温开水送服。

七宝美髯丸（补骨脂、当归、茯苓、枸杞子、牛膝、菟丝子、制首乌），具有补肝肾、益精血、乌须发的功效，可以治疗须发早白、脱发等。本药为棕红色大蜜丸，每次1丸，每天2次，淡盐汤或温开水送服。

补肾美发药膳

羊肉黑豆汤
羊肉1000克，黑豆60克，当归6克，龙眼肉少许。

男人吃什么最补肾？

现实生活中肾虚者不乏其人，人平素需要常吃一些补肾食品。这类食品是针对肾虚所致的腰膝酸软、阳痿、遗精、排尿异常等症，进行滋补、扶助的上品，可根据个人饮食爱好选用合适的品种及烹调方式。

动物肾脏：食用动物肾脏具有补肾益精作用，是中医学“以脏养脏”理论的具体体现。因其含有丰富的蛋白质、脂肪多种维生素及某些稀有微量元素，故既有滋补又有强壮之功。

海参：可补肾益精、滋阴壮阳。富含碘、锌等微量元素。能参与调节代谢，降低血脂。所含的粘蛋白质及其它多糖成分有降脂抗凝、促进造血功能、延缓衰老、滋养肌肤、修补组织等作用。

虾：能工巧匠补肾壮阳、通乳排毒。富含蛋白质、脂类、矿物质、维生素，钙、磷尤其丰富，是壮骨佳品，虾肉的提取物中还含有免疫增强物质。

芡实：具有补肾固精、补脾除湿功能。含淀粉、维生素及矿物质。可与枸杞子同煮粥食。

此外，动物肉类、鸡蛋、骨髓、黑芝麻、樱桃、桑椹、山药等也有不同程度的补肾功效。

中医补肾的学问其实很讲究。下面介绍一些基本的常识。比如，检验自己是肾阴虚还是肾阳虚，可以简单地区分是怕冷还是怕热来辨别，阴虚的大多脸发红、五心烦热；阳虚的则怕冷，四肢发凉，面色苍白。再如，补阳药多是热性药，如附子、肉桂、鹿茸、淫羊霍、肉苡蓉、巴戟天等；补阴药多是甘寒药，主要有石斛、玉竹、山茱萸、枸杞子、女贞子、桑寄生、西洋参等。补阴中成药的代表是六味地黄丸，补阳中成药的代表是金匮肾气丸。同时，由于中医还讲究“阴阳互根”，因此治疗中还要做到“善补阴者，阳中求阴；善补阳者，阴中求阳”。

看，补肾有多复杂！所以你如果真有病，必须首选看懂行的医生，一定要在医生的指导下用药或服用保健品。因为你在市场上是不可能得到专业人士的专业指导的，一旦乱服壮阳药加重了病情，那不但是得不偿失，还可以加重病情呢！

可能有人会问，我们能否在日常饮食起居中保养肾元呢？这是可能的，比如根据自己的需要进行食补。补肾阳的食品有狗肉、鹿肉、虾仁、牛尾、韭菜；补肾阴的有乌鸡、鳖甲、龟板、枸杞子等。更重要的是要坚持不懈地做到生活规律心情舒畅，还要多活动、多锻炼。

有补肾作用的食品很多，其中最简便可行，经济实惠的是羊背骨汤。

将羊背骨洗净煮两小时，加葱姜佐料当汤料。

肾虚瘦弱、乏力、虚损、腰脊痛者可把羊脊骨剁碎，加中药肉苁蓉30克， 丝子1-3克(用布包好)加水同煎，2-3小时后取汁加米煮成粥，加以调料食用。
羊肾对因肾虚引起的腰痛，足膝痿弱、遗精阳萎等亦有较多的治疗作用。

银耳冰糖滋阴——补肾食品
[原料]银耳10克，鸡蛋1个，冰糖60克，猪油适量。
[做法]水发银耳摘去蒂头，拣去杂质，漂洗洁净，加水适量，急火煮沸改用文火煮熟，至银耳酥烂，加入冰糖，搅拌至溶化。鸡蛋取蛋清加少许水搅匀后入锅中，再以文火令沸，出锅前加入熟猪油少许即成。
[用法]早晨或睡前服食。
[作用]润肺补气，滋阴补肾。适宜于AIDS（爱滋病）肺虚咳嗽，午后潮热，盗汗烦躁，心悸失眠，久泄便溏者服用。
[评注]银耳所含多糖类物质对AIDS患者可提高其免疫功能；蛋清、冰糖、猪油相佐调节口味。本药膳看上去冰清玉洁，色味诱人，食之甘甜滑软，入口即化，是一道传统的保健药膳。

山药：性平味甘，为中医“上品”之药，具有补肺、健脾作用，能益肾填精。凡肾虚之人，宜常食之。

干贝：又称江珧柱。性平味甘咸，能补肾滋阴，故肾阴虚者宜常食之。

鲈鱼：又称花鲈、鲈子鱼。性平味甘，既能补脾胃，又可补肝肾，益筋骨。

栗子：性温味甘，除有补脾健胃作用外，更有补肾壮腰之功，对肾虚腰痛者，最宜食用。

枸杞子：性平味甘，具有补肾养肝、益精明目、壮筋骨、除腰痛，久服能益寿延年等功用。尤其是中年女性肾虚之人食之最宜。

何首乌：有补肝肾、益精血的作用，历代医家均用之于肾虚之人。凡是肾虚之人头发早白，或腰膝软弱、筋骨酸痛，或男子遗精，女子带下者，食之皆宜。

忌吃或少吃：荸荠、柿子、生萝卜、生黄瓜、生地瓜、西瓜、甜瓜、洋葱、辣椒、芥菜、丁香、茴香、胡椒、薄荷、莼菜、菊花、盐、酱、白酒及香烟等。

中医认为，豆类蔬菜的共性是性平、有化湿补脾的功效，对脾胃虚弱的人尤其适合。但是，根据种类的不同，它们的食疗作用也有所区别。

扁豆：多在夏秋季节食用。对由脾胃虚弱导致的食欲不振、腹泻、呕吐、女性白带等症状，可以起到一定的治疗效果。糖尿病患者由于脾胃虚弱，经常感到口干舌燥，平时最好多吃扁豆。女性可以将扁豆炒熟成末，每次6—12克，用糯米酒或温水送服，能够缓解白带多的症状。

刀豆：味甘、性温，具有暖脾胃、下气、益肾、补充元气的作用。适用于气滞、打嗝、胸闷不适、腰痛等症状。嫩刀豆用来煮食或制成酱菜，不仅味道鲜美，还有温补的作用；老刀豆则对打嗝的治疗效果最好。

豇豆：也就是我们所说的长豆角。它除了有健脾、和胃的作用外，最重要的是能够补肾。李时珍曾称赞它能够“理中益气，补肾健胃，和五脏，调营卫，生精髓”。所谓“营卫”，就是中医所说的营卫二气，调整好了，可充分保证人的睡眠质量。此外，多吃豇豆还能治疗呕吐、打嗝等不适。小孩食积、气胀的时候，用生豇豆适量，细嚼后咽下，可以起到一定的缓解作用。

豌豆：豌豆的味甘、性平，常吃能够补中益气、利小便。适用于脾胃虚弱所导致的食少、腹胀等症状。哺乳期妇女吃了，还有助于增加奶量。

Attended 2-day Nacli program - partner in harmony (part 2)

For past 2 days, we visited a few places which I never visited before: Sikh temple at Gurdwara Sahib Silat Road (http://www.sikhs.org.sg/), Chinatown heritage center (http://www.chinatownheritagecentre.sg/), thian hock keng temple (http://www.thianhockkeng.com.sg/home.html), Peranakan museum (http://www.peranakanmuseum.sg/home/home.asp), and Fuk Tak Chi museum (http://www.fareastsquare.com.sg/home/index.aspx?key=fuktakchimuseum). It really interesting trip and enrich personal knowledge about these religions and past history, I believe if it wasn’t organsied by Nacli, maybe I have no chances to visit these places.

 

By the way, in partner in harmony (part 1), I remembered that we visited a few places: Muslin temple at Clementi, St Andrew's Cathedral Church at Cityhall, Hindu temple and The Buddhist College of Singapore.

 

Booked air ticket from Zuji.com

A few days ago, I booked a return air ticket to Shanghai via China Eastern at S$523 from Zuji.com, this is the second cheapest I could find and it is direct flight. The cheapest one is S$511 and required a transfer at Philippines for half a day; I just felt it not worthy. Today another colleague introduced me another website airfares.com.sg, and from there, I can get the almost same air ticket at S$640 via Singapore Airline, maybe I will try that for my next trip.

3. Neat, tidy and clean. Make sure your desk or workstation is neat, clean and pleasant. Clear perishable rubbish immediately and wash your mug at the end of the workday. The same attitude applies to the general office area and restrooms – use them considerately for others to enjoy as well.

4. Organized. The best indicator is to see if your tray, desk, drawers and cabinets are cluttered and messy or well-labeled and orderly.

5. Systematic. A good system smoothens work processes. Generally, established companies have a standard operating procedure (SOP) manual as a guideline. If all you have are verbal instructions, develop your own checklist of how a task should be done.

6. Efficient. Some people are naturally efficient. You can develop this skill be thinking through. By doing so, you will know how processes can be done in a faster, smarter and more convenient way.

7. Problem solving. Understand what you are doing and improvise on existing work processes. Give feedback, ideas and suggestions to colleagues and clients to help them come up with solution.

8. Follow-up. This does not mean chasing people after a day's notice. Give them a gentle reminder after a space of three days. Most people understand urgency and will help you expedite matters if you understand the importance of the deadline. Always exercise diligence in matters of finance and when forwarding documents to a third party. Have a tracking system on your calendar.

9. Fast. Learn to work fast on routine jobs. But this does not mean rushing to get things done.

10. Accuracy. Learn to pay attention to details especially if you are dealing with numbers and dates.

11. Fewer mistakes. Everybody makes fewer, but you should aim to make fewer mistakes on routine jobs. Always be mindful that some mistakes come with a cost.

12. Paperwork. Be good in your paperwork. Clear paper as soon as possible and keep all your files updated so that you have important details at your fingertips.

13. Interpersonal. Be friendly, pleasant and have positive attitude towards your colleagues and your boss. Don't show your temper, keep a long face or be sarcastic as it is totally unacceptable. Maintain a pleasant and upbeat telephone-voice when you make or take calls as this reflects the image of the company.

14. Teamwork. Be a team player. Be willing to share ideas, work experience, information, and templates and so on, so other colleagues won't have to re-invent the wheel. This is how you build trust with each other.

15. Office etiquette. Don't spend too much time on personal calls, e-mails, text messages or tea breaks. Respect other's personal space and desk. Avoid using office paper and stationery for personal reasons.

16. Writing. Work on your letter writing and report writing skills. The only way to do this is to write more.

17. Reading. Equally important is the ability to read, comprehend and grasp the essentials – concepts, facts, figures and instructions.

18. Priority. Know what is important and what can be shelved. Stay focused, keep to your deadline, plan your work for the day and the week and allow some flesibility for last-minute projects.

19. Filing. This is important as you may need to retrieve documents or answer questions by your supervisors immediately, and they cannot be kept waiting. This applies to both physical files in the cabinet as well as files on your computer.

20. Responsibility. Know your level of responsibility with the company and take ownership for your job scope and inventory.
