The Power of a Made-up Mind
"Throughout this philosophy will be found the suggestion that thought, backed by strong desire, has a tendency to transmute itself into its physical equivalent. One may find in this story and in the story of the organization of the United States Steel Corporation a perfect description of the method by which thought makes this astounding transformation. In your search for the secret of the method do not look for a miracle, because you will not find it. You will find only the eternal laws of nature. These laws are available to every person who has the faith and the courage to use them. They maybe used to bring freedom to a nation or to accumulate riches.
Indecision is a habit which usually begins in youth. The habit takes on permanency as the youth goes through grade school, high school, and even through college without definiteness of purpose.
Definiteness of decision always requires courage, sometimes very great courage. The fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence staked their lives on the decision to affix their signature to that document. The person who reaches a definite decision to procure the particular job and make life pay the price he asks does not stake his life on that decision; he stakes his economic freedom. Financial independence, riches, desirable business and professional positions are not within reach of the person who neglects or refuses to expect, plan, and demand these things. The person who desires riches in the same spirit that Samuel Adams desired freedom for the colonies is sure to accumulate wealth." |
"POINTS TO PIN DOWN:
Lack of decision is a major cause of failure.
Everyone has an opinion, but in the end
it is your opinion that swings your world.
How a decision made in Philadelphia in 1776
works for your strength and confidence today.
A made-up mind attunes itself to tremendous extra power.
Indecision often begins in youth; how to avoid it and help
others avoid it.
Analyze the events which have led to great decisions,
and you give yourself a lifelong guide to decided and effective
action in every part of your life.
A great desire for freedom brings freedom; a great desire for
wealth brings wealth.
Every powerful man has himself within his own power."
<b>"Lumalakad ang kalabasa...."</b>
naiiwan ang bunga."
"Maganda ang tinutukoy ng kasabihang ito, ngunit taliwas sa
pinag-uukulan. Gumagapang ang kalabasa habang namumunga
at ito'y nag-iiwan ng usbong na siyang patuloy na nagdadahon
at nagsasanga. Taliwas nga ang kahulugan ng nasabing kawikaan
sa mga taong ibig patamaan.
Halimbawa nito ang mga pulitikong habang nangangampanya ay
napakaraming ipinangangako sa mga manghahalal upang makuha
ang pagtitiwala ng mga ito. Ngunit ano ang nangyayari pagkaraan
ng eleksyon? Hindi naman lahat, ngunit marami sa kanila ang
walang nagagawang kabutihan sa bayan. May ilan pa nga na
nababalitaang ni hindi dumadalo sa pulong ng Senado o Congreso.
Nalilimutan at nasasa-isang tabi ang kanilang tungkuling
maglingkod sa bayan. Sa halip ay ang sariling kapakanan lamang
ang pinag-iinam. Sila ang tinutukoy ng "lumalakad ang kalabasa,
naiiwan (nakakaligtaan) ang bunga." Ang pangakong iniwanan sa
bayan ay napapako sa limot at kapabayaan.
Maari ring iukol ang kasabihang ito sa mga taong hindi nakakalimot
sa tungkuling dapat gawin ngunit napapabayaan ang sarili.
Isang halimbawa ang mga nagsisitandang binata at dalaga na
nalilibang sa kanilang gawain. Nalilimutan ng mga ito na kailangan
nila ang makakasama sa panahon ng kanilang katandaan.
Nagmumukha silang kalabasa nga na gapang nang gapang,
ngunit naiiwanan ang mahalagang tunkuling pansarili na kailangan
ng tao, lalo pa't wala na siyang ibang kamag-anak na mag-aaruga
sa kanyang pagtanda."
"Buod:
Tayong tao ay nilikha ng Diyos
na magpakupkop
upang siyang mangasiwa
sa balat ng sansinukob;
kaya isang kasalanan
kapag tayo'y nakalimot -
sa tungkulin sa sarili,
sa kapwa at sa Diyos. "

<b>The Scroll Marked II</b>
"I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend its force. My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.
And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.
And how will I speak? I will laud mine enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs. Is it not so that birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? Cannot I speak with the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life.
And how will I act? I will love all manners of men for each has qualities to be admired even though they be hidden. With love I will tear down the wall of suspicion and hate which they have built round their hearts and in its place will I build bridges so that my love may enter their souls. I will love the ambitious for they can inspire me! I will love the failures for they can teach me. I will love the kings for they are but human; I will love the meek for they are divine. I will love the rich for they are yet lonely; I will love the poor for they are so many. I will love the young for the faith they hold; I will love the old for the wisdom they share. I will love the beautiful for their eyes of sadness; I will love the ugly for their souls of peace.
But how will I react to the actions of others? With love. For just as love is my weapon to open the hearts of men, love is also my shield to repulse the arrows of hate and the spears of anger. Adversity and discouragement will beat against my new shield and become as the softest of rains. My shield will protect me in the market place and sustain me when I am alone. It will uplift me in moments of despair yet it will calm me in time of exultation. It will become stronger and more protective with use until one day I will cast it aside and walk unencumbered among all manners of men and, when I do, my name will be raised high on the pyramid of life.
And how will I confront each whom I meet? In only one way. In silence and to myself I will address him and say I Love You. Though spoken in silence these words will shine in my eyes, unwrinkle my brow, bring a smile to my lips, and echo in my voice; and his heart will be opened. And who is there who will say nay to my goods when his heart feels my love?
And most of all I will love myself. For when I do I will zealously inspect all things which enter my body, my mind, my soul, and my heart. Never will I overindulge the requests of my flesh, rather I will cherish my body with cleanliness and moderation. Never will I allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair, rather I will uplift it with the knowledge and wisdom of the ages. Never will I allow my soul to become complacent and satisfied, rather I will feed it with meditation and prayer. Never will I allow my heart to become small and bitter, rather I will share it and it will grow and warm the earth.
Henceforth will I love all mankind. From this moment all hate is let from my veins for I have not time to hate, only time to love. From this moment I take the first step required to become a man among men. With love I will increase my sales a hundredfold and become a great salesman. If I have no other qualities I can succeed with love alone. Without it I will fail though I possess all the knowledge and skills of the world. I will greet this day with love and I will succeed." |
<b><font color=#9900FF size="5">こだわり</font></b>
”「こだわり」 は、好みや個性とは違います。
「こだわり」 とは、自分は正しいという思い込みのことで、
それ以外のことは許せないという偏見の源です。
だから、「他人のこだわり」 に抵抗する 「自分のこだわり」 が、
次から次へと怒りを生むんですね。
年齢とともに 「こだわり」 にとらわれて、
毒素をためていったのでは何にもなりません。
それよりも、 「許す」 という愛でまわりを包みこもほうが、
自分にも他人にもずっとやさしくいられると思います。
この 「許す」 というやさしさが、結果的にあなたの身を守るのです。
「他人のこだわり」 を、いつもあなた自身の問題として
片付けられる 「許す力」 に変えて、自在に使いましょう。
そうすれば、まわりが巻き起こす波風にふりまわされないで、
いつも健やかに生きていけます。”

上記銘柄のファンダメンタルズに悪い材料が見られず、引き続き長期保有の戦略。
9月上旬から中旬にかけて、異常にも跳ね上がった株価によって振るい落としが
必ず来ると予測していたものの、利益の半分以上が消えてしまって悔しい。
イーエムシステムズが上旬に空けた2つの窓のうち、当社が行った立会外分売のせいかどうか
わからないが、1つしか埋められていなくてそれも中途半端。上昇する勢いが見受けられるが、
2つ目の窓は本当に埋めない窓になるのかどうかは今月の注目。
ジャストシステムのテクニカルの下がり方についてやや不満(不安?)を感じるものの、
ファンダメンタルズに新たな良い材料の出現によってファンダメンタルズが一層強くなっている。
ワタミは株価調整後、テクニカルな底打ち感が広がって、材料待ちの状態。

Aerodynamics for Students
This Web site serves as an online aerodynamics textbook for college students. Offered by the department of Aerospace, Mechanical, and Mechatronic Engineering at the University of Sydney, the material isdivided into several main categories. These include fluid mechanics,aerodynamics, gasdynamics, aircraft performance, and propulsion. Each ofthese sections has many specific topics that are discussed in detail. There are MATLAB, Excel, and FORTRAN files and data sheets that accompany the reading, but they are best used as reference and are not needed to understand most of the material. |
The Chaos Hypertexbook : Mathematics in the Age of the Computer
Written by Glenn Elert, this online textbook is aimed at "anyone with an interest in chaos, fractals, non-linear dynamics, or mathematics in general." Although it is not extremely technical, the author recommends having a decent mathematical background. Many people will recognize, atleast by name, some of the topics covered. Mandelbrot and Julia sets are two well known fractals, and the book explains how they are constructed and gives some images. The fourth and final chapter discusses ways of measuring chaos. Some remarkable images of fractals are given in the EyeCandy appendix. |
<b><font color=#9900FF size="5">罪悪感</font></b>
”罪悪感ほど、人の気持ちを揺り動かすものはない。
「何かまずいことをしでかしたら、
きっと自分の良心に責められるだろうな」
というような思いから、人はなかなか抜け出られないものである。
ただ、この罪悪感に訴え、人を操作するのが上手な人もいる。
罪悪感に負けることは、ゆすりにお金を払うようなもので、
いったん負けると際限なくゆすられるようなことになる。
罪悪感は、人と交わした重要な約束や責任までも、
ホゴにさせるほど大きな力をもっているのである。
人のために何かする場合は、それなりに正当な理由がある。
罪悪感はそうした理由とはなりえない。
罪悪感が動機となっているようなときには、
罪悪感にとらわれる人にも、悪用する人にもならないことだ。
そのどちらにせよ、あなたは敗者となるしかないのだから。”

The Miller Effect
The Miller Effect
What is the Miller effect, and why does it occur? |
Origin of the Miller Effect
The effective input impedance of an amplifier depends on the impedance connected from input to output of the amplifier. The apparent scaling of this impedance often dominates the input impedance and frequency response of the amplifier. This effect, now commonly known as the Miller Effect, was first reported by John Miller in the following paper. |
