The only way to happiness : deliberate practice
IF you only remember one thing i want you to remember deliberate practice. Practice the things that is hard that few people can do. Hard work, diligence, perserverence. The masters need 10,000 hours average to be good at what they do.
This link here is about deliberate practice which i also saved up to free drive:http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/21/magazines/fortune/talent_colvin.fortune/index.htm
this two books which i gonna get explains everything.

Detach from your emotion
Open focus brain by Les Fehmi
I think it explains how all the meditation and therapy including talk therapy works. The brain need to have a diffuse and broad attention in order to go into parasympathetic mood. Also focusing on space, large space works very well because in space the brain does not have an object to activate all its defense and attack circuit, so the brain takes a back seat. This explains why i so much want to live in a desert and why in my meditation looking at the emptiness in front of my eyes and myself being infinit space is so effective.
The book could potentially cure all my stress problems.

Deliberate practice, karate, poker, Oracle
Thursday, August 27, 2009
Break a big task down to simple parts & do things one at a time
Hence the above only technique that works.
Poker is the most important practice
When you deal with difficult people, there is a lot of times you need to play the chicken game, see who back down first. You need to be willing to take risk and not afraid of losing. Only then people would not bully you. Most of the time the cost of both sides losing the chicken game is much less than the psychological cost of backing down from the chicken game where the bully continue bullying you long term.
Another poker skill that can be applied to life is detach from your emotion. Dont need to detach from thinking, all else you gonna think? Detach from your emotion and let thinking continue.
You need courage to fight with other people. Strong muscles builds up courage. Thus you need to learn karate or do weight lifting. If you practice only weight lifting, it would be deadlift, totally addictive.

My favorite Oracle book
My favorite Oracle book
Very lucid explanation.
The art and science of Oracle performance tuning by Christopher Lawson
Whenever i felt the peace beyond understanding i am not afraid to die
Tao and limited consciousness bandwidth

Our consciousness, will, have very limited bandwidth. There are billions neuro chaos activity inside our brain, billions of connections like the connection, it is impossible for our consciousness to monitor and control all this neuros, just try to troubleshoot a microchip million times simpler than our brain. So there is 99% behavior and feelings we cannot control. Our consciousness is like the president of a country he can give general direction but cannot control 99% of the things; Chaos system fractal theory.
Outside objects, other people, we cannot control much of their behavior also.
But since we were little until now, we have the illusion that we are all powerful, our consciousness can control, know and predict everything, this leads to mis estimation of the world around us and we make bad judgement and decisions. From playing poker and weiqi and war you know that you can only win if you estimate the situation correctly.
Remember limitation.
Many things you cannot control, you will make "mistakes", it is never your fault. Study the book Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman that says never blame yourself. Never self hate. Self hatred is due to illusion.
But sometimes self hate is good. Remember paradox polarity and Tai chi.
Lao Tze tao theory says follow the tao, this means that you have to follow reality not pretend it is otherwise than what it is, let go of your illusions of all power, know your limitations. Then following the tao you will not do the wrong thing and lead to defeat and suffering.
At day time you have to fight life forget the tao so you could make your dream come true, at night follow the tao and forgive your mistake and rest.
Tao is a war theory.
Use endorphine with night and day cycles
However endorphine in the brain cannot be maintained, there will always be a crash after the high.
But there is a higher level discovered by zen and tao and Kalil Gibran.
Know that there is cycles for all system, night and day always replace eachother. Know that whenever you are unhappy, happiness will be in the corner and come to you. Enjoy both the sessions of happiness and unhappiness. Dont always cling to happiness, unhappiness is a burst of creativity and building.

I found permanent bliss: My life before meeting Oracle
15,16. my only concept of IT is watching a movie about a AI who lives in the internet that can get money on ATM wow.
17,18 Concept of IT is it is for girls. And programming is only programming for accounting programs and calculating, totally boring. Encountered buddhist and began my 15 years great search for enlightenment. This search may me lost my knowledge of the joy of hacking for computer or engineering or physics knowledge. Made my collegue results bad and ruin my finance until now. But is probably a healing process.
19 discover weiqi but not very good.
27 Read my book on python and c++
29 Got a book on linux hacking but too difficult for me. Still no much interst in IT.
30-34 The great leap in game programming and poker and poetry. But game programming no money.
36 The great leap in philosophy, quantum thoery, partial differential equations, fluid mechanics, computational fluid mechanics, embedded linux
37 Found youtube go game analysis by Korean 5p woman players. Found go books of what his name richard brozulich. My go lept.
36 Feb - 37 Found Oracle. Oracle much better than game programming is a living thing. I can tune it, interact with it, my life search is over. I found the constant bliss enlightenment is talking about.
Feel your feeling
The sure fire must work simple and stupid method to success
So have a big goal, go get it, bear the suffering along the way before you get use to your success, enjoy the fruits of your success
Always remember limite resources
resources are unfinishable. But no, in this universe there is limited resouces, dont believe the new age gurus. Or else why
you need to sleep or die? Because there is limited resources remember to focus on your energy on one area that matters most. Always remember limited resources so you will be focus. Forgivess is actually a war tactic, saving your resources.
insights
-sean ryan become programmer, it is spiritual practice, the joy of making a elegant code
-garlic seem to stabilize my emotion
-warring n game teory
-the accounting mindset: You never lose in any situation, one part lost is compensated by another part. When you feel bullied,
think of the overall situation you will usually have profited in some areas.
-need a distraction or hobby or love or go so mind will not be eaten by flashback. When there is no outer enemy, a group of
people will usually start fighting among themselve. Start mind like ours will carnalize itself if there is no abstract object to
attack, like Oracle, WeiQi, quantum theory, karate..
-neuronal avalanche, in order to think effectively, the brain need to start a avalanche of neurons, that is why smart people tend to have tendency for shizophenia and thin skin. so we need to balance with karate. smartness gives us an edge but it has a (worth it) small price of flash backs and stuff.
-bear the fruits of you success but with a cost of suffering. Every profit has some cost, but overall the profit outweight the cost. So bear your suffering.
-nature rewards higher abstraction, the higher and more complicated and more abstract your work is, the happier you are and the more money you make
- the strange loop book, the avalanch article
-karate pulls down the abstraction, so you will be more balance yet maintaining the abstraction but with a thicker skin.
-limited resources and forgiveness is a war system
-kokoro go.
-paradoxical relaxation when fed up with work
-work hard play hard system, the pizza billionaire
-work hard but dont care about the result, paradoxical system, people will fear you
-limited resource is a important principal, easy work will always have less money, less money is less happiness because there is no money buffer for chaos
-ying and yang dialectic, just be, go the opposite direction-
-oracle you are actually a private business selling your skills just like other sell soya bean milk
-only when relax so your punch will be powerful
-ten rules of strategy book, i forgot the title please refer back to my old treasure chest, nice book.
-life is always about getting pleasure even for the altruist and the nihilist. The goal of evolution is make a life in abstraction that doesnt exist in matter. Thus you have to achieve maximum performance that produce the most complex work and beautiful work, like crystal.
-keep it simple, stupid.

Becoming a bad guy is arming yourself with weapons and putting on a power suit.
Eat vit b. But vit b tense up the muscle and you might shoulder ache. Then use your fingers to press all over around your neck, shoulder, scalp, until you find a painful or hard spot. Press on that spot hard so that the muscle will relax under the pressure. This is call muscle knot releasing.
Work hard to have high technology is very important
Having high tech is like having a long stick to poke at a ant. You can poke at the ant whenever you want, the ant cannot reach you at all. That stick is technology.
Like american tanks shooting at iraq tanks during the war, american tanks can shoot much long range whenever they want, iraq shell cannot reach america at all.
Damper and when to be ying or yang
There will be other factors coming to hinder you, like office politics, family. If your gain is high, you will naturally be affected by the factors. Thus you must also have a damper installed. Think of the negativities as a minor unfortunate aspect of life that must come with success but dont think of it as unacceptable. Use a shrug. Forget about the small stuff, focus on the big stuff.
In every aspect of life, if you want to get something, you have to sacrifice some other areas. The thing is sacrifice the small thing but gain the big things in the meaning of life.
When to use damp, when to use gain. When to be bad guy when to be good guy? Usually yang in the daytime, and then ying in the nightime. Everything is fractal, then usually following our earth night and day time would be right.
When in daytime you are 80% yang and leave 20% ying so you would be balance. Nighttime vice versa.
Oracle is the only high paid job that is being described as mystical
A good game theory book
"CONTENTS: Professors Avinash Dixit and Barry Nalebuff begin the book with explanation of sequential-move games governed by the principle `look ahead and reason back'. Then simultaneous-move games are introduced by means of prisoners' dilemma, the situation when by playing their dominant strategies (thus theoretically maximizing their payoff) both sides get the outcome that is jointly worse than if they followed the strategies of minimizing their payoff. The paradox lies in interdependency of sides' outcomes. To resolve the problem the competitors have to cooperate i.e. follow their less desired strategies. Temptation to brake rules unilaterally is very strong, to make it worse you cannot control your opponent's move in the game. The rule `look ahead and reason back' does not work either. But one can manage this.
To tackle the problem strategists transform simultaneous-move games into sequential-move games. That is where the notion of strategic move comes into play. Strategic move is an action designed to alter beliefs and actions of others in a direction favorable to yourself. Strategic move will purposely limit your freedom but in return it will limit your opponent's freedom. Threats and promises are examples of strategic moves that are widely used. Another example of strategic move explained in the book, brinkmanship, consists in creating and maintaining risk of mutually bad outcome. Unlike the compelling threat, brinkmanship does not secure bad outcome, it does not even tell when it may occur. It is left to your opponent to guess at any point in the game if you are on the brink of disaster. By defying yourself an opportunity to influence the situation and making your opponent understand that he is the only capable to resolve the conflict you induce him to compromise.
Then it comes to multi-person games where interdependence is so complex that the outcome seems absolutely unpredictable. Voting is an example of an imperfect system that cannot aggregate up individuals' preferences into a will of the people. The authors show how result of voting depends on the scheme of voting that gives way for manipulation.
When discussing bargaining the authors explore how different schemes of bargaining change sides' power and affect the result. Time is money for both sides but it is likely that they discount future at different rates thus one side gets competitive edge. Simultaneous bargaining can open up possibility for mutually beneficial trade-off, especially when sides value items differently.
OVERALL: The book is well structured and written in an easy-to-understand language, though in some cases it shows contradictions and some explanations seem oversimplified. It is rich in examples and offers cases from different spheres of life. This book instills mathematical approach to problems without going deep into mathematics. So the book will not put off `mathematically disadvantaged' readers. Even in case this book is the only you read on strategy, you will acquire knowledge that is indispensable nowadays. The book changed my perception of conflicts, games and bargaining.
The most accurate theory of soul to date
Available in singapore library, great book
The goal of life
You need to have a goal in life, 99% likely the goal is to perfect a skill to godlike level until you are the skill like Oracle, weiqi, or karate. Perfecting skill is inline with what evolution wants you to do. Evolution made you and the universe and it wants you to keep on improving, if you go against this, you will be in trouble.
What is evolution, how come things exist in this universe. For things to exist there must be hooks for small components to group together. You see that there is atom, and germs, and cats, and humans, higher and higher organization, the universe is trying to push the orgranization to be more and more complex and beautiful like cyrstal forming. Evolution has the same force as existence. The things human build like Oracle, karate and weiqi is actually the same force as evolution. Evolution is actually god. Evolution is slowly evolving into the realm of non material.
Work hard to get much bigger reward in future instead of lazy to get small reward now
You have to focus your resources into doing one thing that is complicated, need to read 600 pages books to learn,few people can learn it, have high salary then you get reard from life. When other children are playing you are studying, dont think that you are sacrificing because oracle is much more fun than xbox, also the other children will suffer much much more later as waiter without money.
Dont believe all the monks and gurus especially buddhist n hindus saying that money is not important to hppiness n u only need to sit in a cave, i been down to that path and it dont work.Most gurus has a lot of scandal wiith woman just look up the internet n embezzle money. I can sink into samadhi easily but it gets very boring, its effect is much less than weiqi or oracle.

First your military have to be strong
china turned into communism, and first thing Mao Tse Tung want was build up her military first no matter what, then only economy. After china got the atom bomb only china began building up her economy.
North korea is doing the same thing.
To build up your military you have to have high tech. And Oracle is high tech. You have to have fighting spirit, and karate is fighting spirit. You have to have a hobby to stand up all the stress, and Wei Qi is the best hobby beating women, known as the wooden fox temptress.

Karate and the dip: Two most important knowledge for sons
This will help them in all areas of life. Karate is to create power to deal with difficult situations, it grounds them. The dip is to understand take smaller short term pain instead of much bigger long term pain.The other smaller two knowlegde: Poker... is knowing that bluffing is prevalent in all people interaction, and how to counter bluff. Oracle is the biggest toy and the you make money playing with it.
Crystals 20 Sept 2009
The four practice that guarantee happiness:
-Karate - Strong muscle builds your courage so you wont be bullied to death by people. The alternative is weight lifting.
-Poker - The chicken game, detach from your emotion, all show what the secret of people interaction. This solves 50% of your life problems. You have to be bad guy sometimes. You want to cause suffering in other people. If you condemn badness in other people, you cannot use badness to defend yourself. Remember ying and yang must be balanced.
-Oracle- The best and biggest toy and make lots of money. Actually much better than weiqi or xbox.
-Deliberate practice - To be the best is easy, just keep on practicing the hard things few people can do. Jobs that pay well is usually need a lot of hard work to do but the good point is few people can do it. Doing the hard work brings suffering, but being lazy brings more suffering; look at the old waiters in Singapore. Find articles on the web searching "deliberate practice", I have uploaded a article on freedrive.com also. Password and login ask your mom or check treasure chest email.
-Be a bad guy to fight bad people, or be a bad guy half of the time. Only a bad guy can fight against bad guys. I think 90% of my stress are caused by other bad people wanting to take advantage. Being a bad person could be the most effective stress buster, all other therapies are just skin cure. To help to become a bad guy, you want to cause suffering in others even innocent people. If you condemn badness in other people, you cannot use badness to defend yourself. Remember ying and yang must be balanced. Thick face, black heart. Watch Chronicles of Riddick movie and Pitch Black movie, visualize yourself as Riddick, think what would Riddick do.
-Pretend that the big task is easy. A similar technique is to pretend that the task is normal day to day activity. This will tune your emotional reaction down and make you more efficient. A lot of tasks is really not that hard, you only have to show up. Like karate you have to completely relax your muscles in order to punch hard and react fast, no need to tense up all your muscle.
-I was looking for Oracle PLSQL program units exam guide in Jurong East Regional library in Singapore and it was on loan, and i found the above two great books.
The Sams teach yourself PLSQL in 21 days by Johnathan Gennick is probably the best PLSQL book i have ever read though it is not very famous and uses oracle 8i but i cant put the book down, it step by step explanation has cleared a lot of doubts in my mind even the Rampant book Oracle PLSQL jumpstart didnt really clear. I cant put the book down.But the book is written by two authors, John is probably very good the other one probably not that good, read the reviews of Amazon.
The other book is The Dip by Seth Godin, somehow i havent spotted that it was available in singapore library. It is probably the only book i would want you Sean and Ryan to read. I might scan it to freedrive.com when i have time, it basically says you have to be the best, nobody wants average guys, people go for the best guys, but in order to be the best you have to go through a very diffcult period call the dip.
In work life there are two aspects, the political fighting aspect and the real job that you do, like Oracle. There are a lot of ugly parts in the political fighting and focusing too much on it will make your job which is suppose to be fun to be tedios. You have to fight but most of the time spent your attention on the good part of the job, liike Oracle, focus on the beauty and exploration part of Oracle. Be aware that you have to be the best, but work on the result but put your soul on the process. This is ying and yang aspect of work. Result Orientation read The Dip book by Seth Godin, is the yang aspect. The ying is process orientation by Thomas Steiner.
I just thought of the best balance of good guy bad guy character i want you sean and ryan to have. One is Riddick from the Chronical of Riddick movie. The other one is the SIngapore Goju Ryu karate national team brothers in Goju Ryu SIngapore. One brother wear specs and is a probably a engineer, have brain, but he has also gangster behavior, with karate as back up, half good half bad is the best combination. Just like the tai chi symbol black and white balance.
Karate can protect you for the rest of your life
-Image you have one billionair dollars and have done everything you wanted to do.Like travel around the world, eat the best sushi, live in the best houses, sleep with the most beautiful woman, win the world poker tournament, read all the books. This all dont have to take too long, maybe 3 years. Then what would you do? With all the time left.Considering philosophy, thereotical physics, mathematics, weiqi, karate, tai chi, poker, poetry, I thought about it, I would do Oracle programming, I can live in the mountains and all but my mind have to have something to chew on. And programming with all its beauty, logicallness and orderliness, like a zen garden, is the place i want to be in. Weiqi is simply too taxing and gets repetitive, poker is too damn boring, philosphy maybe, karate and tai chi is too boring once mastered and how can you do karate all day? Oracle is the only thing you can do all day. Thus think about this question. You need to have some occupation you want to be with, you are in love with, you can tweak in your house all of the time. I suggest Oracle database programming. Focus on the occupation you in love with often, dont focus much on the office politics, then your life will be very fine quality as it suppose to be. Even office politics focus on your war techniques not the result like what you do at poker focus on your play not the money. Focus on what you love not the result but paradoxically move towards the result , use the dip.
Then if you have concept you dont understand in the major oracle book, read other oracle book that gives the explanation in a different way.
Then after you have masters the old master book, go find a more advance oracle book to be your master book.
-Read the book reviews in Amazon to get an idea. Use Singapore library search engine to find the book to borrow. Read reviews of the book in the internet by type “book title review”. Look for any pirated book. We may have the book. Check if the books are up in freedrive.com, ask your mom or aunty. I am compiling the reviews and put it up facebook and freedrive and email. Cant post it in this blog for copyright reasons. Read some previews in Google books, usually it is enough to read the preview. Check our portable hard drive, probably have copies of the book. In order of importance:
1. The dip by Seth Godin. The market usually would require the best service. To get something you have to work very hard like in the bottom of the wave then when you reach the top of the wave everything become easy.
2. Strategic Intuition by William Duggan : This book really explains the real meaning of buddhism, Tao, and hinduism. Respond by what not you want, but what the situation demands. There is a lots of this books in Singapore libraries. And reading google book preview is enough.
3. Opposable mind by Roger Martin
4. Thick face black heart by Chin Nin Chu: You must be shameless and think you are perfect in whatever you did.
5. The 33 strategies of war by Robert Greene
6. The now habit by Neil Fiore
7. The Practicing Mind: Bringing Discipline and Focus Into Your Life by Thomas M. Sterner

And then finally read this book will sharpen the outlines deeply and all the concept together and the everything clear and lucid, I call this kind of book the finalizer.

The only way to happiness : deliberate practice
IF you only remember one thing i want you to remember deliberate practice. Practice the things that is hard that few people can do. Hard work, diligence, perserverence. The masters need 10,000 hours average to be good at what they do.
This link here is about deliberate practice which i also saved up to free drive:http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/21/magazines/fortune/talent_colvin.fortune/index.htm
this two books which i gonna get explains everything.
talent is overate by geoff covin
the dip by seth godin
-Karate
-Poker
-Wei Qi
-Oracle
The 4 philosophy:
-Paradoxical polarity tuning.
-Work hard to be the best -- The dip, Seth Godin. Deliberate practice, Geoff Golvin. The now habit, Neil Fiore
-To have peace, prepare for war -- The 33 strategies of war, Robert Greene.
- Half good, half bad -- Thick face black heart book. The Chronicles of Riddick movie. Poker. Game theory.
- Find Your Focus Zone, Lucy Jo Palladino
there is a blog that record all this http://francisseanryan.blogspot.com/, if already deleted refer back to portable hard drive that I give your mom that contain a copy of this blog, or the emails.
The 4 Practice:
This is the practices if you do will bring you mastery of life.
1. Classical Shotokan Karate : Build character and confidence. Can confront any problem. If you do only one thing, this is the practice I want you to do. Karate is probably my surrogate parents i never had psychologically. Karate is always fair and consistent. My psychological story is like Shamo by Izo Hashimoto, read it free on online manga.com. Just learn the gyaku zuki 10,000 times perfectly, it is the soul of karate.
2. Mindfulness : The best stress buster. Edit could be replaced by Tai Chi
3. Oracle : I have played with all the toys. This is the best toy and can earn you money.
4. Poker : Play poker and understand how to deal withpeople. Poker builds courage.

Vit B and muscle knot releasing
If all else fail to bring you out of a slump, eat Vit B to give you energy is very important. But vit b bring tension to muscle. Release Muscle knot by pressuring with finger stronly for one minutes because vit b will tense up muscle
Always go back to basic and great go books
A poker player said a sales person told him there is no secret short cut to sales, just keep on making lots of calls.
So in go or wei qi, or poker, or pracle succeeding at life always go back to basic make sure your foundation is solid. Because advanceness is just a combination of basics.
In wei qi for example, to really enjoy wei qi, you only need to read this basic books
Get strong at opening by Richard Bozulich
Get strong at attachking by Richard Bozulich
Get strong at invading
Get strong at tesuji
When i study wei qi i read lots of basic books but i only scan through them and went on to advance books then for a long time a lot of years my wei qi is still weak because i couldnt get the basics right. only recently i read the above books my go improved a great deal. Also watch some go postgame analysis in youtube by all those 5 dan pro korean woman. Go board game is a very good friend to be with you during hard times, better than a wife or girlfriend.
Same thing with Oracle and karate, get your basics right, always go back to basic
Here is also going back to basics in Weiqi
Paradoxical opposite and tuning
U have to be half good guy n half bad guy. Without being good guy u woulg not have friends. You have to be bad guy also so people would not attack you, you attack people. Watch the chronicals of Ridick.
You have to ork hard on very good at something or a goal,but paradoxically you have to also not care about the thing you are after so you would not get streesed out.
Seek revenge, but at the same time give forgiveness so revenge wont pollute ur mind n waste resourse, it is actually a war strategy of allocating resources.
Work hard, ply hard.
Be hard n soft.
Tai chi.
positivity and negativity
doing and wuwei
faith and fear
All are needed and need to be tuned and exist together
I always cannot figure when to use ying when to use yang. On 16 august 2009 i made the link of tuning. It is like Oracle or karate or go. Between two opposite polarity, you adjust the different porportions. The goal of your tuning is to have the higest system performance in that situation, a good guide is asxwhar a famous car racer said; smooth, smooth, smooth.
Then on the same day at 10.15 pm l have a conversation with ur mom about this n i realize that the tai chi symbol already has show all the way of dealing yjng n yang polarity. The two black n white tadpoles shows good n bad is needed. The white tadpole has a smaler black tadpole in it, showing that you cannot be one hundred percent white but instead you around 80-20 ratio with black or else you will be stressed out. The dividing line btween black n white is a S curve showing the timing of transition between black n white , the rhythm, like night n day, half time u have to be good or work hard, half time u have to be bad n lazy, one follow by the other like night n day, this solve the tuning timing problem.
Unwinding the belly : Chi Nei Tsang
Seed knowledge:
1. To be happy in this world you have to have offer the best service and earns lots of money. This is the first step to happiness. There is no other way. You must be material secure first. It is better you have skill that is hard to acquire like Oracle database and without risk to your body. The market only want the best. To be the best you must deliberate practice a lot to rewire your brain. Read books: The dip by Seth Godin. Deliberate practice. Talent is overated by Geoff Golvin.
Read as much as you can. But focus on a discipline to be the best, like Oracle. Don’t get into those spiritual guru stuff or cult, be scientific. Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman. Find your focus zone by by Lucy Jo Palladino.
3. When you have problem, research. Search the internet. Ask questions in internet forums. Google “best oracle book”. Search amazon.com, read the reviews of the book in Amazon.com, if cant get book, the reader reviews will show a lot of information about the book. Find free books on the net, pirated ones :P. Youtube.com has a lot of videos on karate, meditation, tai chi, mindfulness etc. In my facebook, there is a lot of good links and attachments.
4. There is a lot of bad people in this world you have to know how to defend yourself. You cant just be a diligent farmer and expect no body will bother you. You have to know strategy. And you have to be a bit bad guy. Thick face black heart by Chin Nin Chu. The 33 strategies of war by Robert Greene. Any game theory book.
5. All polarities are needed. Don’t reject any polarities. Different polarities are needed in different situation. balance them in right proportion. Whether the polarity is right depends on the situation. You have to have a mixture of opposite polarity like 80% good guy and 20% bad guy. Poker will teach you use different polarity depending on situation, the only method for measurement of truth is the money won, and “be smooth, smooth”. Truth and lies are both needed. Faith and fear. Happiness and depression. Strong and weak. Good and bad. Diligence and laziness. Consiousness and fogginess. Success and failure. Forgiveness and revenge. Nonjudgement and judgement.
6. Accept suffering can counter the offbalancing of depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety is a evolutionary coping mechanism and has it uses in some situation but not all situation. The key to switch off anxiety and depression is to accept legitimate suffering.
8. The brain is all plasticity. This is the core reason for visualization, mindfulness, Tai Chi, deliberate practice, 10,000 hours to be a master, how to study. Use plasticity. Read the book "Find your focus zone"
9. Sometimes anxiety or depression is a simple avoidance of a major mundane problem. Read find your focus zone.
12.When you just start reading a book especially a big book, or tackle a complicated project. Always scan the book first, read it non sequentially back and front, front and back. Read only the part that you feel like needing to read or interest you. Only when you have get the overview picture of the book and feel you can go no more, then only you decide whether to read the book detailly and sequentially. Scanning a complex book prevent jamming when detail reading and memorizing.

1. Find Your Focus Zone: by Lucy Jo Palladino. This is the best self help book on mindfulness, reframing, motivation, balance boredom and hypertention etc . Syntesis on the technology that works. It filter out a lot of other self help book now become unneeded. Best definition of mindfulness: get out of the drama. Visualization is actually strengthening the performance neuro pathway, neuro connection plasticity, can be use to rescript the past so wont repeat the same mistake again and again. Faith, not fear: The most apt words to descript positive thinking, the other big system beside mindfulness.

How to do research
1. http://francisseanryan.blogspot.com/2009/05/do-research-to-solve-any-problem.html
If you only remember one technique
1. Work hard to be the best in what you do.
http://francisseanryan.blogspot.com/2009/05/only-one-method-that-can-bring.html
Misc
1. You have to be a bit bad guy to survive in this world. Watch Chronicals of Riddick movie.
2. Tumo meditation : People can go without food or sleep for months. Can heal any disease.
3 Faith, not fear. Your mom has a lot of faith, i have a lot of fear (and scientific thinking). We are opposites. We need to balance each other. Faith can dispel anxiety and pain.
4. If you dont work, what would you do?
5. If he can do it, why cant you do it, he is just a human.
6. Chinese kung fu masters usually cannot last more than 20 seconds with muay thai guys, because chinese masters though have the technique but dont have the experience of being hit so
hard. Thus to be strong in this world. You need to accept and bear hardship, dont complain or resist, so your brain can rewire and adapt with its high plasticity nature. Once you get use to it,
you would not think the hardship is hardship anymore, and you will be competent and dominate. This is the secret of acceptance.
7. The only that works in new age is mindfulness, the less is bullshit, believe me i have been to the dead roads many years.
8. You may have a lot of shoulder pain. The pain could be due to your neck. Use you finger to press all over your neck, should, and even scalp, especially the area between bone and muscle. When you feel pain, press hard on the painful spot for 1 minute, repeat. When pressured for more than 1 minute the knotted muslce/tendon will relax. Read trigger point therapy. When you shoulder is in pain it could due to your neck or scalp if not your shoulder. I once have shoulder pain but press everywhere on shoulder can find pain, neck also no very painful spot when pressed, and i finally find it on my skull!
9. Vit b is very important to lift you out of depression but vit b will bring tension to muscle so you have to know 8.
How to be the best
1. It is like fermenting wine you can rush it. rush it and you weaken the quality of your discipline.
2. Dont give a damn aobut what other people say or think aobut you. Life is too short and too precious. Other people opinion will destroy the quality of the discipline. Be with the discipline alone, just
like being with your girlfriend, you dont want other people to barge in.
3. Put in 10,000 hours to be with the discipline. Take some vacation but always focus. find out what you love to do.
My karate love affair
karate gave me personality framework. When kumite there is fast and fierce gyaku. When kata there is low horse stance to connect to the whole earth below you.
Today in karate there are a few big break through in sparring.
1. i have been training horse, and immeditely my mobility and stability improve a lot. I move more naturally and effortlessly.
2. continuous breathing from system let me be more relax and more effortless.
3. i learn from sensei that oi zuki is one of the best countering technique
4. rear leg anchor lifted at behind will add a lot to mobility. The front feet plant will give stability.
5. Sensei shows the gyaku distance of too short and too far gives me big paradigm understanding.
previously
6. agatha taught me to twist my shouder so my gyaku have reach
7 sensei thought me to pull my retracting hand as if to elbow enemy at behind, and yell loudly to wake up the referee, huge paradigm leap.
Detachment and reason owns new age bs
After i read the "if you are falling, dive" book, i immediately feel depression setting in. Sometimes this new age healing stuff is more like chasing a castle in the sky. It is masochistic self induce pain for perverse enjoyment. Self mutilation. i have been doing this stuff for some years with close to no relieve. In fact the more i do it the more pain i felt. Something is wrong iwth this grand new age narrative, it is probably a countereaction of christianiaty.
Immediately i detach myself. And thus 4 discipline tools below always works, we need a spacesuit in this hostile world to get this done, letting outside world into the space suit is equivalent to perverse self multilation:
1. Detachment.
2. Break bigger things into smaller things.
3. Do things one at a time.
4. Reward yourself.
The 4 discipline tools is the yan system, it should be the main system, because physical survival is always the first criteria, it works, and it doesnt take time. The yin system like the new age can be done a bit sometimes for fun or when you control the physical world to the point of boredom, but remember that the new age system for me is sometimes no different than perversed self mutilation. Balance ying and yang. Detachment gives you back control, new age release your control and puts the blame on yourself like neo chritianity.
This book is a nice book, reading it is like a fresh air given by true reasoning provided by high philosphy, compared to the illogicalness and bs of new age books. Most new age are really seriously logically flawed,
Top Secret: The Truth Behind Today's Pop Mysticisms (Hardcover) by Robert M. Price
Being with Oracle is like being with a woman
Sean Ryan when you work on Oracle, never work on competition too much, it will destroy Oracle fun. Work for the love of Oracle so the joy of Oracle will exist there for you.
You must love something deeply so life you can get the honey life can offer.
There is a fractalness about life. Everything is the same, Oracle, poker, chess, xbox, go, physics, maths, philosophy, painting, poetry, karate. Oracle is everything. So when you do Oracle you are actually playing chess. But Oracle has more advantage then the rest which i explained in why Oracle is so good in knowledge crystal.
Play your Oracle, dont care about who is better, instead just focus on exploring more on Oracle on your own terms, be alone with Oracle like being iwth a woman alone, that time you should take the rare oppotunity to enjoy the woman alone and not think about comparing dicks.
First your military have to be strong
China was a good country, never invaded other people, just minding her business and be happy. Then the western countries and japan invaded her.china turned into communism, and first thing Mao Tse Tung want was build up her military first no matter what, then only economy. After china got the atom bomb only china began building up her economy.
North korea is doing the same thing.
To build up your military you have to have high tech. And Oracle is high tech. You have to have fighting spirit, and karate is fighting spirit. You have to have a hobby to stand up all the stress, and Wei Qi is the best hobby beating women, known as the wooden fox temptress.
Here is another example of kihon(basics) : in Wei qi
| Contains 534 easy to intermediate problems of every type of tesuji. If you want to get stro http://www.kiseido.com/Strong.htm Becoming a bad guy is arming yourself with weapons and putting on a power suit.Whenever you feel bullied, and feel anger, this is because you are over leaning to become a good guy, always put on your bad guy attitude, you can feel an immediate shift. It is like arming yourself iwth weapons and a armor suit. Poker will let you get in the feeling of being a bad guy. Eat vit b. But vit b tense up the muscle and you might shoulder ache. Then use your fingers to press all over around your neck, shoulder, scalp, until you find a painful or hard spot. Press on that spot hard so that the muscle will relax under the pressure. This is call muscle knot releasing. Work hard to have high technology is very importantOracle is high tech, karate is high tech, Weiqi is high tech. Having high tech is like having a long stick to poke at a ant. You can poke at the ant whenever you want, the ant cannot reach you at all. That stick is technology. Like american tanks shooting at iraq tanks during the war, american tanks can shoot much long range whenever they want, iraq shell cannot reach america at all. Damper and when to be ying or yangWhen you strive to be the best in what you do like Oracle. This is your so call gain adjustment in control theory. There will be other factors coming to hinder you, like office politics, family. If your gain is high, you will naturally be affected by the factors. Thus you must also have a damper installed. Think of the negativities as a minor unfortunate aspect of life that must come with success but dont think of it as unacceptable. Use a shrug. Forget about the small stuff, focus on the big stuff. In every aspect of life, if you want to get something, you have to sacrifice some other areas. The thing is sacrifice the small thing but gain the big things in the meaning of life. When to use damp, when to use gain. When to be bad guy when to be good guy? Usually yang in the daytime, and then ying in the nightime. Everything is fractal, then usually following our earth night and day time would be right. When in daytime you are 80% yang and leave 20% ying so you would be balance. Nighttime vice versa. Oracle is the only high paid job that is being described as mysticalNot engineering, medicine, lawyer, etc, Only Oracle. A DBA said that person to do Oracle must be a bit mystical. A good game theory bookThinking strategically: The competitive edge in business, politics, and everyday life by Avinash Dixit "CONTENTS: Professors Avinash Dixit and Barry Nalebuff begin the book with explanation of sequential-move games governed by the principle `look ahead and reason back'. Then simultaneous-move games are introduced by means of prisoners' dilemma, the situation when by playing their dominant strategies (thus theoretically maximizing their payoff) both sides get the outcome that is jointly worse than if they followed the strategies of minimizing their payoff. The paradox lies in interdependency of sides' outcomes. To resolve the problem the competitors have to cooperate i.e. follow their less desired strategies. Temptation to brake rules unilaterally is very strong, to make it worse you cannot control your opponent's move in the game. The rule `look ahead and reason back' does not work either. But one can manage this. To tackle the problem strategists transform simultaneous-move games into sequential-move games. That is where the notion of strategic move comes into play. Strategic move is an action designed to alter beliefs and actions of others in a direction favorable to yourself. Strategic move will purposely limit your freedom but in return it will limit your opponent's freedom. Threats and promises are examples of strategic moves that are widely used. Another example of strategic move explained in the book, brinkmanship, consists in creating and maintaining risk of mutually bad outcome. Unlike the compelling threat, brinkmanship does not secure bad outcome, it does not even tell when it may occur. It is left to your opponent to guess at any point in the game if you are on the brink of disaster. By defying yourself an opportunity to influence the situation and making your opponent understand that he is the only capable to resolve the conflict you induce him to compromise. Then it comes to multi-person games where interdependence is so complex that the outcome seems absolutely unpredictable. Voting is an example of an imperfect system that cannot aggregate up individuals' preferences into a will of the people. The authors show how result of voting depends on the scheme of voting that gives way for manipulation. When discussing bargaining the authors explore how different schemes of bargaining change sides' power and affect the result. Time is money for both sides but it is likely that they discount future at different rates thus one side gets competitive edge. Simultaneous bargaining can open up possibility for mutually beneficial trade-off, especially when sides value items differently. OVERALL: The book is well structured and written in an easy-to-understand language, though in some cases it shows contradictions and some explanations seem oversimplified. It is rich in examples and offers cases from different spheres of life. This book instills mathematical approach to problems without going deep into mathematics. So the book will not put off `mathematically disadvantaged' readers. Even in case this book is the only you read on strategy, you will acquire knowledge that is indispensable nowadays. The book changed my perception of conflicts, games and bargaining. The most accurate theory of soul to dateI am a strange loop by Douglas Hofstadter Available in singapore library, great book Douglas R. Hofstadter (Author) Find all the books, read about the author, and more. See search results for this author Are you an author? Learn about Author Central The goal of lifeIf life has no meaning like the story of a greek god who was cursed to for eternity to always push up a rock which always fall down, then it is wrong, because the story has no beutiful woman in it which is inconsistent with life. If you say that woman will eventually get boring then have you got the most beautiful woman yet? If yes then the story has no weiqi or oracle or karate in it. If you say weiqi is boring, then have you crack the pattern deeply and enjoy the trill of defeating everyone? Have you become godlike in weiqi yet? Have you found truth of life in weiqi, or karate, or oracle? Have you found that peace that surpass understanding? Do you know that weiqi contain the waves of a sea, the leaves of a tree, like crystsls? Have u know something so well until you perfection and control of the world? Do you know why some people stay in there room all year onlr studying weiqi or quantum theory, this is becoz they found immense beauty in weiqi. There is self simularity call fractalness in this world where large and small different system has roughly the same structure. For instance in a country there is military ministry, finance ministry, etc, a smaller would have the engineering dept n account dept etc, a individual has the same sector also. You would discover that weiqi, karate, Oracle, Quantum theory,War, n life would have a lot of simularity also. You need to have a goal in life, 99% likely the goal is to perfect a skill to godlike level until you are the skill like Oracle, weiqi, or karate. Perfecting skill is inline with what evolution wants you to do. Evolution made you and the universe and it wants you to keep on improving, if you go against this, you will be in trouble. What is evolution, how come things exist in this universe. For things to exist there must be hooks for small components to group together. You see that there is atom, and germs, and cats, and humans, higher and higher organization, the universe is trying to push the orgranization to be more and more complex and beautiful like cyrstal forming. Evolution has the same force as existence. The things human build like Oracle, karate and weiqi is actually the same force as evolution. Evolution is actually god. Evolution is slowly evolving into the realm of non material. Saturday, May 30, 2009How to study complicated subjectThe swallow a mountain method1. Break big task into smaller ones. 2. Reward yourself frequently. 3. Studying Oracle is no harder than studying abc. Just expose yourself daily to it. 4. Practice, practice, practice - A great samurai 5. Do things one step at a time 6. Detachment. 7. Believe the task is easy. This will banish your resistance. Scanning and reading in detail is ying and yangWhen you just start reading a book especially a big book, or tackle a complicated project. Always scan the book first, read it non sequentially back and front, front and back. Read only the part that you feel like needing to read or interest you. Only when you have get the overview picture of the book and feel you can go no more, then only you decide whether to read the book detailly and sequentially. Scanning a complex book prevent jamming when detail reading and memorizing.Exploration is linking things togetherGrow a tree like crystal.Read on the internet or book the metaphorming process by Todd Siler Why Oracle is so goodI have played with a lot of toys: quantum physics, computational fluid mechanics, game programming, hacking, poetry, philosophy, psychology, chess, bridge, go, poker, xbox, mathematics, women, painting, computer graphics, and karate.Actually deep inside all this toys, they are actually exhibiting a similar pattern, they are the same with each other. This is the fractal pattern emerging inside this chaotic holographic universe. But Oracle is still the best because: 1. You can hack in your room only with a laptop and a few books. With other engineering for example electrical engineering, there is no way for you to hack because the equipment is expensive, critical, and you need clearance. 2. You can have more possibility of becoming a guru because of 1. 3. The study materials to become a guru are much more easier to access. There are more world class Oracle books in the bookshops than compared to theoretical physics with are only accessible in university. 4. You can quickly become a guru at a young age because of 3. 5. It is one of highest paid profession. 6. It is vast and big. A big ocean for you to explore. 7. It has the joy of tuning a car. Scanning the book is a necessary step. And reading the book detailly and memorizing is also a necessary step becasue without the details you cannot get the job done, there is too many things you are not familiar with. So both are needed, yin and yang. Dont mix scanning and detail reading together. It is better you read the end book first because you know where the goal is and know what to look in detail like scanning SQL tuning first before reading SQL book. You will be facing a lot of sitatuion where the task is big and complex, use the ying and yang. Finding a good book brings controls back into life!!!! SQL Performance TuningFeel your feelingWhenever you feel upset, just feel your feeling. Restore your balance back fast. It is actually a ying dont care technique. You already dont care, then just feel your feeling, you dont care anyway. The sure fire must work simple and stupid method to success-everything at first you dont get use, you will have suffering. But after a while due to the brain plasticity, you will get use to it and even conquer the situation. So whenever you are trying to achieve you will be in new situation, and always suffering will arise, just bear with it and the suffering will stop and money will come and your power will increase. Always get your technical skill and knowledge and suffer hard, dont suffer less now and end up becoming a poor old waiter. Remind yourself by looking at he poor old people in singapore. The greatest pleasure in this world is hacking. So have a big goal, go get it, bear the suffering along the way before you get use to your success, enjoy the fruits of your success Always remember limite resources-limited resources and forgiveness is a war system: Always remember there is limited resources. We tend to think that resources are unfinishable. But no, in this universe there is limited resouces, dont believe the new age gurus. Or else why you need to sleep or die? Because there is limited resources remember to focus on your energy on one area that matters most. Always remember limited resources so you will be focus. Forgivess is actually a war tactic, saving your resources. insights-how to think over people matters, just use game theory. -sean ryan become programmer, it is spiritual practice, the joy of making a elegant code -garlic seem to stabilize my emotion -warring n game teory -the accounting mindset: You never lose in any situation, one part lost is compensated by another part. When you feel bullied, think of the overall situation you will usually have profited in some areas. -need a distraction or hobby or love or go so mind will not be eaten by flashback. When there is no outer enemy, a group of people will usually start fighting among themselve. Start mind like ours will carnalize itself if there is no abstract object to attack, like Oracle, WeiQi, quantum theory, karate.. -neuronal avalanche, in order to think effectively, the brain need to start a avalanche of neurons, that is why smart people tend to have tendency for shizophenia and thin skin. so we need to balance with karate. smartness gives us an edge but it has a (worth it) small price of flash backs and stuff. -bear the fruits of you success but with a cost of suffering. Every profit has some cost, but overall the profit outweight the cost. So bear your suffering. -nature rewards higher abstraction, the higher and more complicated and more abstract your work is, the happier you are and the more money you make - the strange loop book, the avalanch article -karate pulls down the abstraction, so you will be more balance yet maintaining the abstraction but with a thicker skin. -limited resources and forgiveness is a war system -kokoro go. -paradoxical relaxation when fed up with work -work hard play hard system, the pizza billionaire -work hard but dont care about the result, paradoxical system, people will fear you -limited resource is a important principal, easy work will always have less money, less money is less happiness because there is no money buffer for chaos -ying and yang dialectic, just be, go the opposite direction- -oracle you are actually a private business selling your skills just like other sell soya bean milk -only when relax so your punch will be powerful -ten rules of strategy book, i forgot the title please refer back to my old treasure chest, nice book. -life is always about getting pleasure even for the altruist and the nihilist. The goal of evolution is make a life in abstraction that doesnt exist in matter. Thus you have to achieve maximum performance that produce the most complex work and beautiful work, like crystal. -keep it simple, stupid. Posted by at 4:42 AM 0 comments I found permanent bliss: My life before meeting Oracle12, 13 years old i wanted to unify quantum theory and relativity. I wanted to become a physicist badly. But there is no physics or calculus books around. Only one physic chemistry book which is too deep for me. 15,16. my only concept of IT is watching a movie about a AI who lives in the internet that can get money on ATM wow. 17,18 Concept of IT is it is for girls. And programming is only programming for accounting programs and calculating, totally boring. Encountered buddhist and began my 15 years great search for enlightenment. This search may me lost my knowledge of the joy of hacking for computer or engineering or physics knowledge. Made my collegue results bad and ruin my finance until now. But is probably a healing process. 19 discover weiqi but not very good. 27 Read my book on python and c++ 29 Got a book on linux hacking but too difficult for me. Still no much interst in IT. 30-34 The great leap in game programming and poker and poetry. But game programming no money. 36 The great leap in philosophy, quantum thoery, partial differential equations, fluid mechanics, computational fluid mechanics, embedded linux 37 Found youtube go game analysis by Korean 5p woman players. Found go books of what his name richard brozulich. My go lept. 36 Feb - 37 Found Oracle. Oracle much better than game programming is a living thing. I can tune it, interact with it, my life search is over. I found the constant bliss enlightenment is talking about. Posted by at 4:56 AM 0 comments What is karateKarate is not sport or game |

Open focus brain by Les Fehmi
I think it explains how all the meditation and therapy including talk therapy works. The brain need to have a diffuse and broad attention in order to go into parasympathetic mood. Also focusing on space, large space works very well because in space the brain does not have an object to activate all its defense and attack circuit, so the brain takes a back seat. This explains why i so much want to live in a desert and why in my meditation looking at the emptiness in front of my eyes and myself being infinit space is so effective.
The book could potentially cure all my stress problems.
You will never fail in life unless you quit
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.Today I found the dip book and sams teach yourself plsql in 21 days
The Sams teach yourself PLSQL in 21 days by Johnathan Gennick is probably the best PLSQL book i have ever read though it is not very famous and uses oracle 8i but i cant put the book down, it step by step explanation has cleared a lot of doubts in my mind even the Rampant book Oracle PLSQL jumpstart didnt really clear. I cant put the book down.But the book is written by two authors, John is probably very good the other one probably not that good, read the reviews of Amazon.
The other book is The Dip by Seth Godin, somehow i havent spotted that it was available in singapore library. It is probably the only book i would want you Sean and Ryan to read. I might scan it to freedrive.com when i have time, it basically says you have to be the best, nobody wants average guys, people go for the best guys, but in order to be the best you have to go through a very diffcult period call the dip.
In work life there are two aspects, the political fighting aspect and the real job that you do, like Oracle. There are a lot of ugly parts in the political fighting and focusing too much on it will make your job which is suppose to be fun to be tedios. You have to fight but most of the time spent your attention on the good part of the job, liike Oracle, focus on the beauty and exploration part of Oracle. Be aware that you have to be the best, but work on the result but put your soul on the process. This is ying and yang aspect of work. Result Orientation read The Dip book by Seth Godin, is the yang aspect. The ying is process orientation by Thomas Steiner.
I just thought of the best balance of good guy bad guy character i want you sean and ryan to have. One is Riddick from the Chronical of Riddick movie. The other one is the SIngapore Goju Ryu karate national team brothers in Goju Ryu SIngapore. One brother wear specs and is a probably a engineer, have brain, but he has also gangster behavior, with karate as back up, half good half bad is the best combination. Just like the tai chi symbol black and white balance.
Karate can protect you for the rest of your life.
Imagine that you have one billion dollars and have done everything you want to do
Considering philosophy, thereotical physics, mathematics, weiqi, karate, tai chi, poker, poetry, I thought about it, I would do Oracle, I can live in the mountains and all but my mind have to have something to chew on. And programming with all its beauty, logicallness and orderliness, like a zen garden, is the place i want to be in. Weiqi is simply too taxing and gets repetitive, poker is too damn boring, philosphy maybe, karate and tai chi is too boring once mastered and how can you do karate all day?
Thus think about this question. You need to have some occupation you want to be with, you are in love with, you can tweak in your house all of the time. I suggest Oracle database. Focus on the occupation you in love with often, dont focus much on the office politics, then your life will be very fine quality as it suppose to be. Even office politics focus on your war techniques not the result like what you do at poker focus on your play not the money. Focus on what you love not the result but paradoxically move towards the result , use the dip.
Game programming will get your started
Forget all about other spiritual path
Looking at PLSQL or C codes is like looking at a forest
Looking at PLSQL or C codes is like looking at a forest.
Everything in this universe is fractal, self similiar, like a crystal growing into more and more complex shape until it and grows into every terriotry making forest, human which is a small universe, and human being a part of the force which created the complex world created quantum mechanics, number theory maths and poetry created codes, and codes is a part of the force, a part of the forest, a part of crystals.
Being with PLSQL or C is like being in a forest.

Why Oracle is better than the rest
Thereotical physics which require A+ skills to earn good living else you become a high school teacher, and there is no guarantee if you can researched anything new. There is actually a lot of dirty competition in physics.
Electronic and eletrical engineer or other engineering. Equipment is expensive cannot tweak at home. Engineering has much less tweaking than programming.
Philosophy is very hard to earn a living, you will likely become a high school teacher. Probably slightly less fun than Oracle.
Poetry you will be poor.
Poker you need to be broke for a few years, it requires above average skills.
Weiqi is hardest to make a living, you have to work more hard than Oracle or Poker.
Law you have to like language a lot, and have no problem with being a bad guy.
Game programming is very unstable companies go bankrupt and too many people like to do it making competition high.
Account mm mmmm very boring but if you like to escape tax for big bucks it probably is ok. But you cannot tweak at home.

How to study oracle books or any other books
Then if you have concept you dont understand in the major oracle book, read other oracle book that gives the explanation in a different way.
Then after you have masters the old master book, go find a more advance oracle book to be your master book.
The other good thing about Oracle compare to engineering - Can use forum
In engineering it is much more difficult because you have to beg for the answers people usually dont want to teach you.
Know how to use internet forums, it is very important.

Oracle PL SQL Program Units Exam Guide by Steve Ohearn
The best book on Oracle I have read. Super clear and lucid explanation left no stone unturned. Let you understand PLSQL deeply.But probably not suitable as a beginner book. You should read some beginners books first to get the vague but important concepts like putting on a outline of the sculpture. And then finally read this book will sharpen the outlines deeply and all the concept together and the everything clear and lucid, I call this kind of book the finalizer.

Oracle Performance Tuning for 10gR2 by Gavin JT Powell (F,L)
The art and science of Oracle Performance tuning (L)
If my son knows only two things it will be : Karate and the Dip by Seth Godin
Karate specifically the classical karates: Shitoryu Karate or Shotokan Karate.
The Dip is the book by Seth Godin. It means that you have to be the best to be happy, and to be the best means you have to pass through the tough time call the dip, the dip is the gateway for you to use to reach the place of bountiful resources and security. This book is available in Singapore library, or Amazon.com, and I have a pdf copy in our portable harddrive, and freedrive.com.
Forgiveness and war are opposite polarity but both are needed
In life, forget about all the fancy psychology or breath therapies, dont work. The basic and classical stuff like hard work, forgiveness, toughness, Christianity, samurai ethnics, karate always works. This classical stuff is in ying or yang polarity, use them both together, and you will find peace in war.
What if i change from feeling centered to purpose centered?
Morita Therapy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morita_therapy
Morita Therapy directs one's attention receptively to what reality brings in each moment. Simple acceptance of what is, allows for active responding to what needs doing. Most therapies strive to reduce symptoms. Morita therapy, however, aims at building character to enable one to take action responsively in life regardless of symptoms, natural fears, and wishes. Character is determined by behavior, by what one does. Dogmatic patterns of collapse are replaced with the flexibility to call upon courage and empowerment. Decisions become grounded in purpose rather than influenced by the fluid flow of feelings.
In Morita Therapy, character is developed by cultivating mindfulness, knowing what is controllable and what is not controllable, and seeing what is so without attachment to expectations. Knowing what one is doing, knowing what the situation is requiring, and knowing the relationship between the two are quintessential to self-validation, effective living, and personal fulfillment. Character is developed as one moves from being feeling-centered to being purpose-centered. A feeling-centered person attends to feelings to such an extent that the concern for self-protection reigns over decisions and perceptions. Given the human condition, change, pain, and pleasure are natural experiences. Indeed, emotions are a rich type of experience and a valuable source of information. Feelings are acknowledged even when what is to be done requires not acting on them. Constructive action is no longer put on hold in order to process or cope with symptoms or feelings. The individual can focus on the full scope of the present moment as the guide for determining what needs to be done.
Trying to control the emotional self willfully by manipulative attempts is like trying to choose a number on a thrown die or to push back the water of the Kamo River upstream. Certainly, they end up aggravating their agony and feeling unbearable pain because of their failure in manipulating the emotions.
—Shoma Morita, M.D.
Ultimately, the successful student of Morita therapy learns to accept the internal fluctuations of thoughts and feelings and ground his behavior in reality and the purpose of the moment. Cure is not defined by the alleviation of discomfort or the attainment of some ideal feeling state (which the philosophy of this approach opposes), but by taking constructive action in one’s life which helps one to live a full and meaningful existence and not be ruled by one’s emotional state.

To win to be stressfree dont be afraid of losing
I have never been aware of this before, i always look down at singaporeans for being kiasu but never noticed this in myself. Since i am not aware of it i cannot correct it.
If i am not afraid of losing, immeidately i gain flexibility and relaxation and most important detachment.
-I must remember that it is never my fault. My personality and nerve is too complex near impossible by human to change; there are billions of connections like the milky way how can i change anything. So i am never blamable for my mistakes and shortcomming, and this non blaming makes me more powerful. Read the book Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman.
