突然发现06学年某班数据库/OS Project是这么要求的……相比之下上学期的简直就是……

那么现在问题是...我是不是应该重写一下06年DB那几个Project呢。

本来还想如果情况允许这学期选编译/软工的……不过现在实际问题是扣除比赛时间还有自己其他主要目标所占时间……我到底还剩多少时间

暂时能得到的结论是进一步减少睡眠时间是一个很现实很影响社会稳定性的问题-_-

I will not go into details of what has happened here - because everyone who needs to know the thing already knows the entire process, and reiterating that thing would be meaningless and pointless, not to mention frustrating and irritating. (And by the way, if you have no idea of what I am talking about here... I suggest that you stop reading because continuing reading would be a waste of your time) Pretending that everything is alright is the easiest thing on this planet; but it's not the cure. Ignorance isn't bliss; ignorance equals pain, which is exactly the reason that I am writing this entry. We can't just 'wish away' the things we would rather forget for our entire lives.

The point of matter remains that I am not entirely sure whether this is merely a matter of compromising with personal principles. What I am really seeing is a tendency – a tendency probably caused by social conditioning, to over-simplify the problems. There are certain rules that seem right at the moment; and the actions implied by those rules are ethically justifiable. Moreover, the fast-paced society today forces us to either accept the rule or else endure the unbearable pain, and given little time for consideration, we have no choice but to accept the rule, despite that we know that loopholes might be found here and there.  Day by day those rules seem to have become more and more natural; gradually they become a part of our lives…

And one day we end up finding that those rules are actually incompatible with the structure of our lives. Or rather, what we think our lives should be. It's not until when the consequences of accepting those rules finally come crashing down upon us that we discover we're only meters away from the lurking monster's nest; and yet we cannot escape except by abandoning the very same rules that we've learned to rely on, rules that we've grown to trust, - and which have also brought us to the disaster.

Which is why most people choose to walk into the monster's nest rather than fleeing.

The fear of losing one's identity. 

On one side of the balance is the pain of being a victim; on the other side of the balance is losing the identity. Without faith the latter one is far more hurting than the former one. 

Yet the latter one, of losing (and eventually rebuilding) our identity, is the only morally sound option that we have. As long as we're willing to face the challenge boldly, there is nothing that we could not solve.

*

But once we succumb to that temptation, we step onto a slippery slope where everyone's freedom is at risk. Those who favor censorship should recall that one of the first books ever burned was the first English translation of the Bible. As President Eisenhower warned in 1953, "Don't join the book burners...the right to say ideas, the right to record them, and the right to have them accessible to others is unquestioned -- or this isn't America." And if that right is denied, at some future day the torch can be turned against any other book or any other belief. Let us never forget: Today's moral majority could become tomorrow's persecuted minority.

事实证明我们的思考模式是把简单的问题复杂化，复杂的问题不可能化。

关于这点p大牛已经有了一个概率论的例子了。。。

再比如说体育理论为什么不可能一个人做完？前面的50分看0.5-1hr书已经可以保证很顺利的做完90%以上的题目，后面的专项知识虽然有点偏但是基本上baidu + google还是很容易搞定绝大部分吧~而且考前把有关的历史/技术资料专门下载到本机再看一遍不也就差不多了。。最关键的是我们有30分钟啊，足够做完再检查好几遍了。。

(虽然我还是不知道最后为什么只考了90。。。难道什么东西记错了-_-bbbb)

另外。。。体育考试题目做的是不是有点土啊……抄个东西至少也不要把错字一块抄过来吧。。难道这样的目的是方便广大人民群众搜索题目来源？

“例如说饮食。我的规矩是每日一餐，对于碳水化合物更是极端的限制摄入。特别是大约已经10年没有吃过米饭了。每天的睡眠时间大约是2～3小时。晚上1点左右入睡，凌晨3～4点左右起床。剧组成员到家里来之后一起缎练3小时左右，然后开始工作。

也有人说，这样身体会被搞坏的。但，我是一直这样生活过来的，而且一次也没有过身体不好的现象。莫如说是很健康的。如果说这是依靠意志力才继续下来的结果，不如说是对身体和心灵的持续缎练的生活。只是把被约束和约束分开，内心和身体就可以率直地发展。 ”

话说怎么才能做到长时间<3小时睡眠呢... 我现在只能做到4-5小时-_-

而且Gackt又不是素食主义者……所以饮食方面我显然不能效仿他……

当你不知道其他人做了多少时你总会误认为自己已经非常努力。

你今天得到的任何结果都是昨天付出的汗水的累积。同样的，如果你今天没能得到你想要的结果，唯一的原因是你昨天没有付出相等的行动。

生命中永远存在更高的标准。永远可以做得更好。

首先我最近思维/编码状态都很不正常，导致这两天几场比赛做得非常差；包括队内，UVA, TC。在这一点上我要道歉。无论客观情况是怎样的，我没有任何借口。

而其实即使是其他方面，很多时候我处理的也不够用心，比如那些至今未回的邮件……

如果你们中任何人有机会看到这篇日志，我只想说，任何之前我未能做到的，从现在开始，我都会改正。而且，我会做的比你们之前期待的更好。这是我道歉的唯一方法。

日程安排。Dhaka Regional，December 8th, 2007。又想到了9月时得知Dhaka赛区推迟到这个时间的惊讶，与我当时的决定。

一项日程被划掉，随之而来的是新日程的加入。

说起来，生命中起初很多事情看上去都是不可能的；而当我们真正去以一颗感恩的心去看待它们的时候，突然之间生命真的变得神圣起来。莫非这世界是由无数的巧合构成的么？

世界上不缺少美，只是缺少发现美的眼睛。

而我想说的是，生命中不缺少奇迹，只是缺少发现奇迹的心。

In reality, nothing in life happens by accident.

We might really be destined for certain things.

而我们所需要做的，也许只是去发自内心的去感激我们身边发生的一切。

回到Dhaka Regional. 从这次比赛，到明年4月Canada的World Final, 到生命的每一个瞬间，我不会允许自己用除完全投入之外的任何态度去对待任何事情。

只因为我们没有理由去浪费生命这份神圣的礼物。

"I shall no longer ask myself if this or that is expedient, but only if it is right. I shall do this, not because I am noble or unselfish, but because life slips away, and because I need for the rest of my journey a star that will not play false to me, a compass that will not lie."

- Alan Patton, Cry, The Beloved Country

最后转一下很久以前写的一段话。

If there's a single thing that I would do...

It would be to do whatever it takes to honor that memory.

Point-blank.

So don't even think of trying to persuade me to drop it. There's not a single chance that I will settle for anything other than absolutely the best. Never. If for no reason other than to honor the dream that might already cease to exist in reality.

Because I believe in the infinite, believe in the invisible, believe in the hope. 

而我仍然坚持我那时说的一切。

真的，这世界上有些事情，无论多久都不会改变。

而幸运的是，还有些事情……是会改变的。
