143期:阅读·跟着会合气道的飞行教练学做事 – Aikido, pilot trainer and mastery
《如何把事情做好》(Mastery)这本书在1992年出版后就一直畅销至今,它的作者乔治·伦纳德 (George Leonard)在战争年代是飞行员,在和平年代是有自己道场的合气道黑带教练,于是这本讲学习和成长的书也有了一些不太一样的质感。我特别喜欢他对学习成长平台期的理解,恰恰表达出了我内心对成长过程的隐隐约约的感觉。 Mastery is a very popular book since the first time it was published at 1992. The writer, George Leonard was a pilot trainer and also a aikido master, his experience gives this book a unique style and rich content, although it is a small book. I really like his description about plateau … Continue reading "143期:阅读·跟着会合气道的飞行教练学做事 – Aikido, pilot trainer and mastery"

142期:现场·突破自己边界的喜悦 – Joy of living outside the lines
这是一期我在云南广播电台的直播节目里讲述我的播客故事的现场录音,当我自己聆听这些录音时,我也在想,制作播客这几年,我从中获得的最大收获是什么?目前来看,如果真的要总结的话,做播客的经历带给我的,应该是一种突破自己狭小的朋友圈、生活圈、工作圈和能力圈的局限的体验。通过播客的制作,我得以拓展甚至跨越自己的边界,感受到自己边界之外的那个世界的无比精彩,这是它带给我的最大收获。 This episode is mainly from the recording of a live show at Yunnan Radio, which I shared some stories of producing podcast with host and audience. When I listened the recording, I also try to answer the question: What do you get from producing BearTalk? My answer is that I got the joy of … Continue reading "142期:现场·突破自己边界的喜悦 – Joy of living outside the lines"

141期:思考·突围时空的第四种选择 - The 4th option of breaking the rule
柴静的纪录片《穹顶之下》把雾霾的环境问题搬到了大众的眼前,这部纪录片很牛逼,但今天我不想详细聊雾霾的生成原因与治理防治的方法,我只想向正在听节目的你提出这样的一个问题:如果有一份理想的工作,一份你梦寐以求的工作,刚好在像北京这样的一个严重污染不合适小朋友和老人居住的城市,那么你会如何选择呢?第一种选择:离开家人,争取到这份工作,和亲人两地分居;第二种选择:放弃这个机会,和家人继续生活在慢节奏却相对比较健康家居的城市;第三种选择:和家人一起,搬到污染的城市,争取到这个你心仪的机会,但你的家人也需要和你一起,牺牲自己的健康。这三个选择,你会选哪一个呢?这个选择艰难无比是吗?其实,还有隐藏的一种选择,一种不用做出巨大的放弃和牺牲的选择,一个可以兼顾梦想、亲情和健康的选择,这是一条看起来好像是黑乎乎的,也没多少在走的小路,但走上一段距离之后,迎接你的将是霍然开朗的桃花源,这就是突破时间和空间藩篱的第四种选择。
The popular documentary 'Under the Dome' by Chai Jing brought the environment issue to the focus of our society, it is a great job, but I don't wanna talk about the environment issue in this episode, instead of it, I wanna ask a question to you: If there is a perfect job for you in Beijing, a city not fit living for children and elders, will you take it? Option 1: Leave your family and take the job. Option 2: Give up the job; Option 3: Take your family with you for the job, and sacrifice your health. This is a tough question, right? Actually, there is an hidden option. An option without big sacrifice, an option can give attention to dream, family and health. The 4th option of breaking the rule.

140期:岁念·找到爱做的事就是找到了自由 - Find something you love and you find freedom too
春节假期刚刚结束,假期造成的后遗症就是智商降低,体重增加,所幸这期是岁念节目,对智商的消耗不大,适合回归工作态时听。本期标题来自印度思想大师克里希那穆提的一句话:“一旦发现真正爱做的事,你就是一个自由的人了,然后你就会有能力、信心和主动创造的力量。但是如果你不知道自己真正爱做的是什么,你只好去做人人羡慕的律师、政客或这个那个,于是你就不会快乐,因为那份职业会变成毁灭你自己及其他人的工具。”
After the Spring Festival holiday, I felt my mind dull as well as my weight too. Maybe you feel the same, so this episode which is really not solid probably just for you. The title of the episode comes from Krishnamti, an India guru, "Once you find something you really love, you are a freeman. Then you will have the ability, confidence and the willing to create. But if you don't know what you really love to do, you would become a lawyer, politician or something, you wouldn't be happy."

139期:阅读·黑天、猛虎和少年派 – Krishina, tiger and Life of Pi
我为什么会如此喜欢《少年派的奇幻漂流》(Life of Pi)这部作品?因为神奇的印度;因为“黑天张开嘴,人们在她嘴里看到整个宇宙”;因为“你们看到的只是虚幻的表面”;因为电影片尾中年派那段含泪的独白;因为小说原著那个比猛虎的身影还利落的,充满信任与温暖的结尾;因为这是一部横亘幻想与现实的壁垒的杰作;因为看完这部电影和小说原著之后,我能表达的是那么少,却能想到那么多。 Why I felt so touched after watching the movie and reading the novel: Life of Pi ? Because of the incredible India. Because of the myth: Krishina opened his mouth, the entire universe is contained in his mouth. Because of “what you see is just illusion.” Because of Pi’s unsaid goodbye to … Continue reading "139期:阅读·黑天、猛虎和少年派 – Krishina, tiger and Life of Pi"

138期:阅读·《失控》的数字吟游史诗 - Odýsseia of the Digital World_ Out of Control
一期短短的,只有几K字节信息量的音频播客,当然无法把50多万字的技术思想巨者《失控》的所有内容表达得清清楚楚,这样的企图绝对也会失控。我虽然在2013年,两年前就阅读完了这本书,但一直也因为这本书的厚重思想,对它敬而远之,记录了一些摘记,却根本不敢去试图整理,更不要说制作一期专题节目了。但当我真正理解了什么是“失控”,我就想通了。Out of Control,并不是一个贬义的形容,而是我们面对未来必须要去经历的思维模式的转变。
在这样一个高度信息化的世界,充满无数不确定性的世界,工业时代的“全面控制”已经没有了意义。对于个体也是这样,想要完成一个“完美的作品”,试图在一个有限的书架中描绘“无限的图书馆”,或是试图用一期1小时以内的节目展现出他人经历几十年思考的成果,这种控制的企图是不可能的。我能做的,就是以“失控”的状态,做一期自由的节目,从而可以让一些朋友对这本艰深的书和它的观点产生兴趣,并且表达出我的一些感受。不去考虑完善、完美与完整,这种失控,其实也是一种对待生活的态度。这个时代的一个巨大的秘密,或者说是一个吊诡就在于 :要想赢 ,先放手 。
制作这样一期节目,我也在进化,就像书里说的:进化并未完全超脱我们的控制 ;放弃某些控制只不过是为了更好地利用它 。我们在工程中引以为傲的东西 — —精密性 、可预测性 、准确性以及正确性 — —都将为进化所淡化 。正如本书标题所点明的 ,进化的代价就是 — —失控 。
I don't think I can tell you every point and opinion of the book: Out of Control, after all, it's an immense book with 700 pages. The attempt of total control my expression will definitely out of control. Then I realized, out of control is not a bad thing, it is something we have to face to enter the future age.
Total control for everything, is the habit of the industry-age, and it becomes meaningless now. And for individual it is the same. I can't show you everything of a man's thought for decades in a 30 minutes audio podcast. I let it go and try to not think about complete, perfect and exactness, and I got evolution in return. The evolution of my thought, and maybe yours. The price for evolution is Out of Control.

137期:岁念·聊那么久是因为舍不得结束 - It's too good to be closing
大多数人一年只有十个月或者十一个月,静下心来,用春节前的这些时间去读书,去努力工作,去把一年的收获写下来,去安排明年的计划。到了三十多岁,仿佛上帝留给我的时间比二十多岁时短了一半。有时候会懊悔正青春时努力不够或者无处安放理想和信念,有时又希望让这些愿望变少一些现实一些以便于自己从容的安排时光,其实,一切都是最好的安排。又是一期碎碎念,聊那么久是因为舍不得结束。
For most of us, we only have 10 or 11 months in a year. I try to keep calm and spend the time before new year to read, to work, to write down what I got, to arrange my future. When you are 33, it seems your time is shortened half of it. Sometimes, you regret for not seizing the time when you are young, sometimes you just hope for simple way of life so you can enjoy the happy moment of life. For me now, I think the best is yet to come.

136期:阅读·念念不忘魔戒回响 - LOTR in my personal life
我当年在大学刚入学时,有两部作品进入到了我的世界,《指环王》和《哈利波特》。对我来说,这不只是好莱坞大片,不是不着调的空想,他们映射着现实,通过各自的故事,讲述着人生的道理,用象征和隐喻打动着我,让我对灰暗的现实不丧失勇气。当然,当时我肯定不会体会到这一点,我只觉得这个幻想的世界是那么精彩,值得我流连于其中,但我没有觉察到的是,故事背后蕴含着的价值观,却在悄悄地给着我力量,让我成为了现在这样的不会让年轻的自己失望的自己。在电影院里,我看着《霍比特人:五军之战》字幕缓缓升起,眼泪也不由自主的流下,人生中能有几个15年呢?在这15年里,我没有放弃这些看似不现实的幻想,而他们也帮助我成为了一个更好的自己。如果你也有过某些这样类似的幻想的话,那么请好好保存它保护它,因为人真的应该为一些离现实有点距离的东西活着,那是可以让我们飞翔起来,越过死气沉沉的现实的宝贵礼物。
I met The Lord of the Rings when I was in my college time. For me, it's not just a fantasy story, it reflect reality, and give me courage and hope for real world. When I watched the movie, The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies, the stories ends, after 15 years later. Wow, 15 years. I didn't give up my passion for those beautiful stories, and they help me to become a better person who I am.

134期:岁念·别人的故事,自己的人生 - Other people's story and my own life
别人都只是自己眼中的故事而已,重要的还是自己的人生,我们都想变成一个更好的自己。我在以前最常说的就是:“从明天开始,我要……”但现在我发觉,如果一说“明天”,往往就是“Yesterday, you said tomorrow”。那个代表着与现在绝决地再见的明天,其实就像流浪汉等待的戈多一样,永远都不会来。别被这段介绍文字蒙蔽,其实这只是一期闲聊、碎碎念与听友反馈的节目。
Other people's life is only a story to you, your own life is much more important. Change from small things, from now, don't say tomorrow, because "Yesterday, you said tomorrow".
