Poem for Nov - 十一月破烂诗词 - Design and build - 种子

种子

千万年以前,
吾已洒下你们的容颜。
吾等也在亿万微尘里,
构画了尔等的样貌。

你的欢乐，我知道。
你有伤痛，我更明了。
今天，我给你这一切，
明天，你须自己打造。

我也有我的无能时、在你娇柔万千的那一刻。
我也有我的无助时、在你横渡荒漠的那一天。
我也有我的决望时、当你抬头对着天，却无半丝光芒的那一年。

我不知、
我的回忆、
我的思念，
能否、
日复一日、
年复一年。

Historical figure Nov - never go down in history

Underworld exist, sometimes they play an important role in human history, but as we know history is written by who. We know why they never go down history.
He is 王芗斋, a martial art expert in the main land china, and is famous for inventing the matial art 意拳 or people in the field would like to call it 大成拳.
Most many martial artist in china are in some way or another involve in the underworld(黑帮) of China, but not him, he exist for the purpose of perfecting martial art.

When he was a kid, his parent send him for martial art class in hope of strenghtening this weak body. He falls sick quite often and the docter said he would 夭折.

Soon he proved them wrong, not only did he survived pass his prime age but also manage to become the greatest martial master of all time. He was never bittenin martial arts in his life time.

At his old age, he call himself 矛盾老人 which means contradictory old man literally.

He also invented the art of 站桩 for healing and wholeness of body, sort of like Yoga. I use to practice the art some times ago, this post stands to remind me to pickup again.

There are no solution to human economic, and there are also no solution to the present political situation we are in.

Who we are? where we come from?"
Recently a group of kids show in our HBD area, everybody know what they are selling, many auntie and uncle buy from them without asking any question. lostin also buy from them sometimes, but have some questions for them.

"You all really need to do this meh? can my boy join in or not?"

Because lostin think this profit very high, and when you come in a group of 20~30, it is no longer a joke.

Somebody must have make a tons out of this, better than MLM. In fact lostin have red eyes, he wish that his father owns a chocolate factory now so that he can ask his kids, his kid's friend, cousin, cousin's friend all mobolize for special fund raising project. In no time he will be a million.

Good idea! start saving now.
