轻微便秘自然疗法

用一到两茶匙的车前子外壳（psyllium husk)参一杯水混合一起喝下去。不要搅动太久， 不然会成糊，很难下咽。每天早上喝一杯。平常喝水要足够，不然没效。

听说还有一个好处，可降胆固醇

车前子外壳是很便宜的东西。有些人用来做食物的配料。

Kow Ching Kiak, passed away on 2009.6.15.

He was my immediate superior for more than 7 years and later we became friend after we were no longer colleague. And, the friendship ended yesterday or should I say it never end. In reality he was more than a friend; he was my teacher who showed me the human side of running or managing a business & the uncertainty and fluidity of business where procedures which were right at certain situation were wrong in different circumstances.

Life is short and fragile. He and I plus few friends were having drinks just last week. And he is gone forever now.

Life is fragile.

Memory flash back:

1) Car - I first met him in Hankyu Jaya 1989 Oct, I think it was Oct. He & I  were the two recruits by our boss from outside Hankyu Jaya.The first week he started work or may be the 2nd day he drove his Honda City and brought me to Ampang Park sales outlet. It was a funny sight with him who was quite big size squeezed inside a small car. Of course few months later the boss bought him a bigger car. However the image of him squeezed inside a tiny Honda City stuck in my mind. The first thing that impressed me was his driving style, he liked to swirl in and out of traffic.

2) Tea - He used to hold informal meeting with managers in his room over Chinese tea. He would brew the Pu Er and pour it into the small tea cups and exchange idea/info during those session. Of course the Pu Er was cheap then but the price of Pu Er now is many many time the prices those days. I joked with him once that if the Pu Er we drank may be worth a BMW at today's price. Well during these tea session we formed policies, exchaged ideas among the managers.

3) Style - he was a short temper guy by nature but experiences had taught him to slow down and delegate. He emphasis on people, immediate and short term and I am more systems, policies orientated and see the business on a longer term and strategic basis. He talked better than he wrote and I need to write down my thoughts on paper before I could communicate. Although the style were very different we could respect each others and together with other managers we formed a good team that drove the business to a greater height. But alas, we were like the turkey that was fed for X mas, one fine day the feeding stop and turkey was sent to the butcher - the business was sold by the the boss or his family. Well he and I did know then what was coming towards the end but the timing was faster and he might be more prepared with his experiences.

人事4

听过这个故事：有一个书生在冬天走路看见一条蛇冻僵在路上，那个书生觉的蛇可怜，就将蛇放在怀里。蛇因那人的体温而活了，醒了。蛇醒了，就咬了那人一口，就爬走了。

虽然大部份人都是善良，但一间公司里有时也会有一两条蛇。有的有毒，有的没毒。这种人的眼中，心中只有“利” 和 “害”关系。尊敬和信任是不在他们的世界观里。所以你可不能学那迂腐的书生。如果你在紧急非常时期，需要这些人的合作那你也只能用老墨的手段－比谁的拳头大了。不过如果你的拳头比他小，怎办？你也只能用老孙借力的功夫了，用他们的语言：“利害”来说服他们了。

战国时期，齐宣王问孟子可不可攻打燕国。 孟子说如果你进入燕国而燕国的人民很欢迎你，而你又能让燕国有人民有饭吃，那就是攻的对。我想齐王没将孟子的话听进耳。齐国出兵侵占了燕国的10个城市。孟子的话没错，可是对只知道 “利害”和 “眼前”的齐宣王，这些话说了等于没说。 燕国的国王只好求救于佩六国相印的苏秦。苏秦就去见齐王。这个苏秦先来点润滑剂－祝贺齐王得了十个城市,接下来一招四川变脸，一副吊丧的脸。不用说齐王当然想知道他搞什么鬼。于是苏秦就说：我是替你担心，你看燕国虽象很小的鸟飞在天上，很容易被打下来。但谁打了这只小鸟就会被后面保护这只小鸟的大鹫有机可乘；给秦国理由来攻击你了，更何况燕王还是秦王的女婿。如果你归还了这些城市，你就卖了个人情给秦王。 齐王一听，马上明白了“利害”，还了城市给燕国。
