There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking.

How true? Check this out...(http://astro.tom.com/birthday/index.html)
3月14日 现代爱因斯坦
在3月14日出生的人有利用与他人的相处之道来了解自己的倾向。在家庭中或社会上的地位对他们而言是非常重要的,因为这样的地位证明了他们丰在的价值,而这也是他们生活的重心。就意识形态上来说,这天出生的人相当开明,可以接受许多不同的想法观念,但是又很奇怪地无法完完全全地欣赏某一种观点。不过或许是因为3月14日出生的人原本就很容易改变看法的缘故吧,即使他们曾经坚信某种人生的大原则,但如果遇到环境上的重大变化时,他们还是会视情况去调整自己。
许多在3月14日出生的人,可以同时从各种不角度去思考精神上、实质上或感情上等等的存在价值。他们对人际关系很有兴趣,非常关切身边的日常琐事;不过,他们对宇宙的问题更有兴趣,比如说那些不变的、永恒的道理等。大多数在3月14日出生的人,的确很相信某些绝对真实的原则,例如神学、科学或人类学方面的真理。但是,他们对自己的理念却往往不是那么笃定,所以,有可能会穷毕生之力与自己的原则或立场进行一场拉距战。他们将会了解到即使是一些微不足道的事,若以不同的角度去看就有不同的看法,因些,对他们而言,想要统整自己各个不同角度的观点,实在是挺有挫折感的。
他们喜欢保持独立的感觉,很有幽默感,又能勇敢而热切地表达想法,只是,在表达自己的真感情时,却往往过于小心了。而且他们也不是那种能在一开始就去参与团体活动的积极分子。因此,要注意的是,不要让别人误以为自己是那种高傲或冷漠的人。
3月14日出生的人在私下很开放,接受度高而且又有一颗包容的心,因为他们认为每一个人都有对的一面,因此每一个人的意见都应该被重视。
另外,他们有个毛病,就是会把想要却得不到的人理想化了。在3月14出生的人中,也有少数人会因为老是爱在亲人之间当个最受宠的人,而给自己惹来一堆麻烦。他们喜欢将亲戚们的评价排等第,比来比去的结果,便会使被比下去的人无形中受到伤害。而那些出生在3月14日最成功的人中,都是不须经由比较,就能欣赏别人优点的人。不过,他们也最好能了解人是有特殊见解、感受的独特个体。 幸运数字和守护星 3月14日出生的人受到数字5(1+4=5)与敏捷的水星的影响,水星使他们得以发展精神力量。不过,3月台票4日出生的人同时受到海王星的影响(双鱼座的主宰行星),所以他们对外在的刺激十分敏感而且也很喜欢,特别是颜色、味道、声音等等的刺激。不过幸运的是,3月14日出生的人也受数字5的影响,使他们很有弹性,能够很快地从人生的打击中痊愈。 健康 大多数3月14日出生的人很自然地会不断地付出。由于他们是以家庭为重心的人,所以会关切家中成员的健康,因此平常对医学或治疗方面的知识便很有兴趣。不过,他们最好别过度担心或对别人过于挑剔,以免造成别人的反感。他们可能会有内分泌与循环系统方面的毛病--尤其是他们的脚,年纪越大就得越小心。3月14日出生的人一向是个好厨子,厨房是他们生活中发挥创造力的场所,同时也是夜晚时段的社交重镇。由于天性喜好轻松与舒适的生活,所以很难真正有毅力地从事每日或每周的规律性运动计划。最适合他们的是温和的运动,例如散步与游泳。建议 在自我成长方面,对自己的要求可以高一点。发掘自我最完美的部分。要小心,不要因为喜欢某一个人,就把自己的感情完全掏空给对方。对一些基本的原则设法放轻松一点。 名人 爱因斯坦(Albert Einstein)德裔美国科学、诺贝尔物理奖得主,他提出超越时空的相对论。
日本演员栗原小卷,代表作《望乡》。
德国免疫学者埃利希(Paul Ehrlich),曾获诺贝尔生理暨医学奖,同时也是现代化学疗法的创始人。

Favourite quotes from " Tuesdays With Morrie"
"Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back."
"You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives. Unfulfilled lives. Lives that haven't found meaning. Because if you’ve find meaning in your life, you don’t want to go back. You want to go forward."
"When you learn how to die, you learn how to live."
"Death ends a life, not a relationship."
"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."
"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too - even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling."
"When you're in bed, you're dead"
"Death: the only true emotion felt in an apathetic world"
"Love wins. Love always wins."
"As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty-two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it."
"Love each other or perish."
"Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone."
"Don't hang on too long, but don't let go too soon."
"Without love, we are birds with broken wings."
"Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?"
"If the culture doesn't work, don't buy it."
"If we can remember the feeling of love we once had, we can die without ever going away."
"What is it about silence that makes people uneasy?"
"You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives. Unfulfilled lives. Lives that haven't found meaning. Because if you’ve find meaning in your life, you don’t want to go back. You want to go forward."
