===============================

想想你身邊有沒有以下類型的朋友,你自己又為朋友扮演了什麼角色?作家雷斯——《人生一定要有的八個朋友》（Vital Friends）人生一定要有的八個朋友, 這八種角色包括：
推手（Builder）、
支柱（Champion）、
同好（Collaborator）、
夥伴（Companion）、
中介（Connector）、
開心果（Energizer）、
開路者（Mind Opener）、
導師（Navigator）。

八種不可或缺的朋友，分別在每個人生命中扮演下列各種不同的角色。

推手（Builder）：推手擅長鼓勵，總是會把你推向終點。他們會持續投資在你身上，好讓你有所發展，同時真心希望你能成功，即使這表示他們必須要為你承擔風險。推手會慷慨地貢獻自己的時間，協助你找到自己的優點，同時有效利用這些優點；從不嫉妒你或成為你的競爭對手，總是站在終點鼓舞你、為你歡呼。

支柱（Champion）：總是和你站在同一陣線、支持你的信念。他們是會讚美你的朋友。這會讓你的生活每天都變得不同。他們不只在你面前稱讚你，也會在你背後撐腰，就算你不在場，也會挺身而出為你仗義執言。支柱是你的最佳擁護者，當你成功時，他們會為你感到驕傲，而且會與其他人分享。

同好（Collaborator）：是與你興趣相近的朋友，也是眾多親密友誼的基礎。們可能對運動、嗜好、信仰、工作、政治、食物、電影、音樂或書籍有相同喜好。這樣的特殊情誼讓你們成為一輩子的朋友，你會非常喜歡和他們一起消磨時光。

夥伴（Companion）：不論情況如何，當你有需要的時候，他們總是會站在你身邊。你們之間的情感聯繫牢不可破。當你生命中發生重大事件時（無論好壞），他們都會是你第一個想聯絡的人。夥伴會把你們之間的關係引以為傲，而且會願意犧牲自己來幫助你。他們幾乎是可以讓你以性命相託的朋友。

中介（Connector）：你想要的東西，他們就是有辦法幫你搭起橋樑。這樣的朋友一旦知道你要什麼，總能馬上張開聯絡網，找到一些和你有相同興趣或目標的人；他們能快速地擴大你的人際網絡，讓你直接通往取得新資源的管道。如果你需要工作、醫生、朋友或約會對象，打電話給這樣的朋友就對了。

開心果（Energizer）：他們總是有辦法讓你精神大振、心情大好。和他們相處時，你的生活會充滿了積極感。當你心情跌至谷底時，開心果可以很快地讓你恢復正常，有本事讓你有好心情或錦上添花。當你需要一個笑容、想要大笑時或放鬆一下時，千萬記得找他們。

開路者（Mind Opener）：可以拓展你的視野、鼓勵你接受新觀念、想法、機會、文化與人們。幫助你拓展個人眼界，創造無數正面的變化。他們是一群挑戰傳統智慧的朋友，面對難題時，為你提供具創意的解決方案；同時，不斷地刺激、激勵你，大膽表達一些你從不敢在別人面前說出的想法與意見。

導師（Navigator）：他們可以給你建議並指引方向。當你需要指引或諮詢時，就會去找他們。他們擅於聆聽、整理、分析你心理所想的。他們會讓你了解自己擁有或缺少什麼能力。你可以和他們分享目標和夢想，並一針見血地幫你點出達成夢想與目標的方法與途徑。

明愛可以回收舊電腦~~

This weekend, my parents want to clean up home's desktop and the scanner. It is very good that CARITAS(明愛) has offer the service of "old-computer-recycle program". Other than we can carry the old-computer to their service-center, CARITAS can also arrange their staff to go to your home to collect the old-computer.

This is really a very good environmental-care program, so, i would like to post their information here about their logistic-flow and the collection-venue. If you want to throw away your desktop or notebook, pls think about this recycle program!! ^_^

A Good Neck Stretcher

Bought this Neck Stretcher from a Chinese Bonesetter recently, he told me that it is developed by himself, the pop-up ball-shaped item is designed according to human's acupuncture-points(穴位) . I tried this and it is really a very good neck-stretcher that has improved my back & neck so much~~ i let my mom and my brother tried, and they also feel their back & neck better.

Really a good design and equipment...better than those OSIM or OTTO itesm, so expensive and useless~~

Nuri Nuri, I love you~~ (A super Cyclone)

There is a super super Cyclone today, it is called "Nuri"~~~~

According to the 2pm announcement from the Observatory just now, it hoisted the signal #9 now. It said Typhoon Nuri is now centred about 40 kilometres east-southeast of Hong Kong and is forecast to move northwest at about 14 kilometres per hour towards Hong Kong.

As my area of living is HK West while lived near the coast line....the situation here is very very terrible, the wind-speed here is the highest among other areas of districts, over 100 km per hour~~~ wow~~~

It's difficult to make vivid description here, I better make it in a scientific way, provide you below some diagrams, to let you imagine how serious & powerness of this Cyclone Nuri~~

I should say "Nuri Nuri, I love you", you give all HK people a extra-holiday today~~ ^o^

You see the above wind-direction and wind-speed diagram, my area of living is framed in the red-box, which is under the highest wind-speed (1pm record, 22 Aug 08)

See below~~ HK is going to be under the eye of the Cyclone within the coming couple hours (the satelite image at 1pm, 22 Aug 08)

YouTube has this clip -- Typhoon in HK 1953
