Show, down next?

To set short positions to US$2 billions..


says he, "Get ready for the SHOW."


He meant the GFC, the great show of 2007
for history has a habit of repeating itself.

As for Australia..

"...the bull run is over and the inflationary risks are inevitable.
It is the long-term effects of the unprecedented experiment
in global monetary stimulus, led by the United States
Federal Reserve, over the past six years.."

"...analysts and fund managers have noted
that the average price to earnings ratio of the
ASX is now above its long term historical average."

沒半點猶豫

我等你


不做考慮 也沒半點猶豫
我就說了這一句 我等你
你眼中閃過了 些訝異
更多的是懷疑 所以你可以 離去

不相信你 還會回心轉意
是我任性才決定 要等你
我眼中的淚 沒掉過一滴
只是隨你背影 慢慢倒流進 心裡

我等你半年為期逾期就狠狠把你忘記
不只傷心的 還包括一切甜蜜 要等你
要證明自己 我可以 縱容你在心底
也可以當你只是路過的人 而已

愛到痛之極 才需要
一段等你的限期 來遺忘自己

寂寞的香氣

盛夏的果實


寂寞的香氣 思念卻滿溢

也許放棄 才能靠近你 不再見你 你才會把我記起
時間累積 這盛夏的果實 回憶裡寂寞的香氣
我要試著離開你 不要再想你 雖然這並不是我本意

你曾說過 會永遠愛我 也許承諾 不過因為沒把握
別用沉默 再去掩飾甚麼 當結果是那麼赤裸裸
以為你會說甚麼 才會離開我 你只是轉過頭不看我

不要刻意說 你還愛我 當看盡潮起潮落 只要你記得我

你曾說過 會永遠愛我 也許承諾 不過證明沒把握
不用難過 不用掩飾甚麼 當結果是那麼赤裸裸
其實不必說什麼 才能離開我 起碼那些經過屬於我

也許放棄 才能靠近你 不再見你 你才會把我記起
時間累積 這盛夏的果實 回憶裡愛情的香氣
我以為不露痕跡 思念卻滿溢 或許這代表我的心

不要刻意說 你還愛我 當看盡潮起潮落 只要你記得我
如果你會夢見我 請你再抱緊我

Celebrating Entrepreneurship, by Undrip

Lucky Ones


"This song is dedicated to the people who fight
every day in the trenches of entrepreneurship."

Verse 1

This is the one for the ninjas and rockstars (Mick Hagen)
Waiting for their chance to come up like a pop tart (Tim Draper)
People with the vision on their way to the top
Don't let anybody tell you when to stop, start (Brian Wong)

Doin' what you love because time is a wasting' (Leah Busque)
You gotta get a beta from the nascent (Josh Felser)
Stay hungry on the way to your destination
It takes determination and patience (Justin Kan)

I don't mean it as a diss, but wishing's a waste of time
And you'll never reach the front if you're waiting in line (David Hornik)
So rise and grind, if you're inclined (Jamie Wong)
Stay strapped on your deadline, never recline (Brad Feld)

Every time -- they call you crazy, that's gnar (Paul Davison)
No shame in the game this is who we are (Alexis Ohanian)
So flex your hustle get to running like a muscle car
And catch a long tail on your shooting star (Rick Marini)

Hook

We are the lucky ones,
We are the dream,
And we'll see it all come True, Yah,
Cuz we work all day, and we play at night,
Nothing can stop, nothing can stop,
The dream of the lucky one

Verse 2

So let me put it on the table like Paula Deen
You wanna get that butter, gotta churn that cream (Patrick Chung)
Got a scheme and a team, better hit it with steam
Or you'll be singing it like biggie "It was all a dream" (Will Harbin)

And you don't wanna see it get dusty
Trust me it's ugly you better do something (Ted Rheingold)
Whether in your element enveloped in development (Christine Tsai)
Or busting your butt trying to get that funding (Josh Kopelman)

It's a long road, no denyin (Micah Baldwin, Jessica Alter)
You gotta keep pitchin like Nolan Ryan (David Weekly)
There is a demand for what you can supply (Josh Elman)
And the bay runs deep so the well ain't dryin (Alfred Lin)

We say it a lot and yo it might sound funny (Emily Olson)
You'll never keep playing this game for the money (Rob Lafave)
It's something inside that you can't deny (Aston Motes)
You decide your life and that's lucky (Robert Scoble)

很久很久以前

外面的世界


在很久很久以前
你拥有我 我拥有你
在很久很久以前
你离开我 去远方流浪
外面的世界很精彩
外面的世界很无奈

当你觉得外面的世界很精彩
我会在这里衷心的祝福你
每当夕阳西沉的时候
我总是在这里盼望你
天空中虽然飘着雨
我依然等待你的归期

在很久很久以前
你拥有我 我拥有你
在很久很久以前
你离开我 去远空翱翔
外面的世界很精彩
外面的世界很无奈

当你觉得外面的世界很无奈
我还在这里耐心的等着你
每当夕阳西沉的时候
我总是在这里盼望你
天空中虽然飘着雨
我依然等待你的归期

Desiderata

Desiderata



Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love; or in the face of all aridity
and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrman
