TOPIC - Gout
TOPIC - Gout
Question
I have been diagnosed with high uric acid levels. A vegetarian diet high in fiber is good for this condition and for the ensuing possibility of gout. Yet, one of the items that are high on the list of things to avoid are dried beans and peas. What about fresh, fresh frozen, or canned peas, green beans, lima beans and other non-dried legumes?
Answer
Fresh beans and peas, like dried peas and beans, contan a moderate amount of purine and should be limited to 1-2 servings per day. Since a high protein diet produces high levels of uric acid (which aggravates the gout), a moderate protein intake is recommended. You can get protein from other non-meat sources such as low-fat dairy products, eggs and nuts. Limit overall intake to 2-4 servings per day.
Question
All gout-diet lists I have seen include legumes among the foods high in purines and to be avoided by gout sufferers. I just saw a website that includes nuts among the list of acceptable foods for gout. However, peanuts are legumes. Are there nuts that are not legumes and that are acceptable? Can you tell me if peanuts and peanut butter are high in purine and therefore to be avoided for a person with gout? Thanks.
Answer
That is a good question - nutrition information is abundant on the web and often provides conflicting or confusing information. Although peanut is technically considered a legume, its purine content is low (less than 50 mg per 100 grams) compared to other more common legumes such as lentils, peas & beans which has 50-150 mg purine per 100 grams. Thus it would be acceptable for gout sufferers to include the use of peanut & peanut butter into their diet. However, you need to keep in mind that nuts & nut butters are high in fat, and should be eaten in moderation because of that.
Question
I have gout. Can I drink low fat milk or fresh milk? Is it true that I can only drink buttermilk, condensed milk and malted milk. What about products that contain soya bean oil?
Answer
The current recommendations does not restrict milk and milk products for person with gout. You can drink both low fat and fresh milk if you wish.
You should avoid bean products including soya milk, tofu, beansprouts, bean paste, etc. as they all have fairly high purine content. If the quantity of soya bean oil present is small, it should not be a problem as the purine content extracted in the oil is small.
Question
I have gout. What types of food can I eat and not eat?
Answer
Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the body. The uric acid forms crystals in the joints causing pain and inflammation These crystals can also form stones in the kidney and urinary passages. Painful attacks of gout are brought on by drinking alcohol or eating foods high in purine. Fifty perent of the uric acid in your body comes from the food you eat, the other 50% comes from sources within the body.
General guidelines for gout are as follows:
Restrict meat/fish/poultry intake to 180 grams per day;
Avoid alcohol;
Lose weight if overweight;
Exercise regularly;
Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day;
Eat plenty of fruits & vegetables (except the ones listed below)
Have more starchy foods like rice, bread, noodles, etc. to fill you up;
Restrict foods high in purine:
Organ meats such as liver, kidney, heart, brain, etc.
Selected fish and shellfish ie. ikan bilis, sardines, mackerel (including selar, tenggiri & kembong), herring, salmon, fish roe, cockles and mussels
Meat & yeast extracts such as Bovril, Marmite, Vegemite, essence of chicken, brewer's and baker's yeast
Meat soups & stock cubes especially Bak Kut Teh
Game meat ie. venison, black chicken, pigeon, goose, etc.
Beans & lentils such as tofu, soya bean, bean fillings, etc.
Selected vegetables ie. spinach, rhubarb, asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms & peas
Strawberry, strawberry jam, durian, tomato & tomato products.
If you have severe problems, I recommend that you see a dietitian to give you a full evaluation and advice you on how to modify your diet. Good luck!

How the market has performed so far and its effects on Singapore real estate
How the market has performed so far and its effects on Singapore real estate
Desperate measures for desperate times
In July 2007, I warned that “we are near a crisis of an epic proportion”.
At the time of writing this article, the debates a
re still raging in Parliament as to how the custodians can better refine the act of drawing on the country’s past reserves. The grim fact is that, for the first time in Singapore’s history, the ruling government of the world’s most compulsive ‘personal account’ savers has decided that the current recession, which is only at its onset, is bad enough to justify the ‘last resort’.
When a supermodel of corporate prudence thinks that the situation is bad, it must be darn bad. The fact that the Singapore government has to resort to such a desperate measure at the first instance, with such swiftness and boldness, speaks volume of the magnitude of the crisis that is about to hit town. It also means that whatever that is visible now is only the tip of the iceberg.
A bear who names himself ‘OX’
As it is, the year that just went past us was best to be forgotten, if you are a property seller – big or small immaterial.
New home units can’t sell – in fact, 2008 was the worst year in two decades for the primary home sale market. Neither did the secondary sale market perform any better when compared with recent years’ records. Even the usually reliable HDB resale flat segment is showing some weariness of late and demand for resale flats has receded since the final quarter (Q4) of 2008. However, on the whole, the HDB resale flat segment holds the largest promises for 2009, due to the increase in state subsidises for low- to middle-income households.
Asset deflation is on
Barely a month into 2009, property prices and rents have either already fallen or begun their downward slide across the board, with high-end luxury home segment taking the reluctant leadership. In fact, it was the luxury home segment that led the market bull-run in 2007, breaking records month after month with impunities.
The ‘late blooming’ industrial segment was the last to fall prey to the recession. It still rose at impressive rate in the first half of 2008 but stepped on the banana skin in the final quarter (Q4) of last year. In the final analysis, no one is spared in the worst economic downward spiral ever to hit Singapore.
Though the recession is still far from being full-blown, we have seen traces of the panic experienced during the 2003 SARS epidemic – restaurants were empty, taxi queues lined the streets, and people conserved their cash. Nowadays, people become more religious, or at least, prayed more times a day. But back in 2003, the economy in the richer nations was booming and their thirst for Asian imports was insatiable. In fact, the US and the European Union (EU) were the ‘white knights’ who sucked in most of the Asian exports and in the process pulling every Asian economy out of the recession quickly.
But, not this time. The erstwhile ‘white knights’ are turning pale through massive haemorrhage in their respective domestic economy. Major corporations in the richer nations are critically ill and are in dire need of massive injection of liquidity from their respective governments, which have also lost the plot themselves.
The awakening or the awaiting Dragon?
The much touted theory that China and India would pull the rest of the developing countries in Asia out of the recession seems to have lost its currency. The emerging economic powerhouses are faltering without the high demand from the US and EU. The talk about Asia being ‘de-coupled’ from the US economy is fundamentally flawed as most Asian exporters are neither far-sighted, nor motivated enough to sell to their own domestic market.
Asia looks set to go down as a consequence of the global financial vicious cycle. With the US fast becoming a ‘cashless’ society and the nation of big spenders staring at a lifetime of debts, no Asian exporters can expect to export their way out of this recession, until and unless the richer nations can put their acts together sooner rather than later.
In short, we all are in deep trouble, at least for the whole of 2009. There seems no way to escape a deep and painful recession with no Uncle Sam, The Last Samurai, or the Awakening Dragon to rescue us. Every nation on this Planet Earth will be suffering in equal misery.
Consequent change in buying behaviours
In a crisis of such magnitude, people’s value, needs, and priorities will change as their immediate financial future becomes hazy. People are now more concerned about their basic livelihood – forget about pay rise, forget about promotion – just try to keep the job.
People are more frugal, prudent and restrained – no more cooking courses in exotic locations. Many more will switch to cheaper substitutes in everything they consume, even the daily essentials such as the newspapers.
Maybe they will also cancel their daily newspaper subscription and switch to online news. The monthly subscription of one set of newspaper in Singapore e.g. The Straits Times, Business Times, or Zao Bao, is between S$23.00 and S$25.00; and a typical household may subscribe to two sets (plus news magazines such as Times or The Economist) and that would cost up to more than S$50.00 a month.
In bad times such as now, I am sure many of them will cancel the subscriptions and switch to free internet news and online newspapers.
Likewise, when it comes to buying of a home for themselves, the search process may be permanently changed – now that the Internet offers so much more quality leads on property listings 24/7 absolutely free of charge.
Such behavioural change in prospective home buyers may turn out to be the most critical difference being made to a real estate agent’s marketing plan and costs.
Fewer risk-takers and speculators
Most importantly, people are less likely to take any kind of investment risks in this precarious economic climate. They don’t even trust the banks anymore.
This more or less explains why even the mass market new condos are not moving, despite the goodies being dangled by the developers to entice them to come to the show flats.
Speculators who are stuck with new home units which they bought under the Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS) are now at their wit’s end as the completion dates of many new condominiums draw closer. Some of those who have tried in vain to offload their units may entertain the thought of walking away from the sale contract. But, the developers have already sounded the ‘war cries’ – “if you walk away, we will sue”.
A time-bomb is ticking in this segment. Things may get ugly in the ‘knock-out’ round.
On the other hand, potential condo buyers ‘outside the ring’ are not prepared to join the fray at the current price point and uncertain environment. Many of them understand the tremendous opportunities awaiting them. The equation is becoming clearer each day, the more the ‘fire sales’, the cheaper will be the sale price.
The waiting game is on.
Acclimatise to the new realities
As it is, January 2009 was a month of more glooms with more wage earners receiving the pink slips – certainly not red packets for Chinese New Year. Ironically, those who still have to slog are fearful of having free time at the office.
Are the very people who fear losing their jobs really in danger of losing them? Well, the numbers from the government do not add up very well.
Given such an economic backdrop, would prospective home buyers react to the conventional advertisements that worked so well for you during the 2007 Bull Run? Would they still make hasty decisions at the slight prodding of the real estate agents like they did during the Bull Run? Are there still chances of agents getting their director to buy a listing and then flip it two days later for $250,000 in profit? Is it a question over price or are people delaying, or worse, shelving their home ownership plans altogether?
I have the following answers to the questions:
NO – more people will switch to free online property portal.
NO – buyers will no longer make hasty decisions as they are more careful with their spending nowadays.
NO – the bear market is here to stay; and you will need to take longer time to market a listing and put in more efforts to persuade buyers to buy it.
Lastly, on the question of price, I believe the market is still trying to find the right balance and the price equilibrium. A house is still everybody’s ultimate priority – crisis or no crisis. People are just disoriented right now and their irrational behaviours are symptoms of the fears for the unknown they feel inside.
Our customers need time to adjust their own value system so as to be able to make sense of what is going on around them as well as at the property market; and they need time to acclimatise to the new realities that things will never be the same again.
The lost herd will return. They will find their way eventually.

by Gretchen Rubin, on Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:47pm PDT 17 Comments Post a Comment Read More from This Author » Report Abuse I confess: I can’t touch each piece of paper just one time. I can’t return every email within 24 hours. I can’t maintain a clear desk at all times. I can’t go paperless. Nevertheless, I’ve found some realistic strategies for getting things done that have helped me a lot.
One thing I know about myself is that an accumulation of tiny tasks, even if they aren’t particularly irksome in themselves, combine to make me feel overwhelmed and drained. If I can keep little chores from piling up, I feel much more capable of tackling bigger, more difficult tasks. Here are my strategies:
1. Follow the “one-minute rule.” I don’t postpone any task that can be done in less than one minute. I put away my umbrella; I glance at a letter and toss it; I put the newspapers in the recycling bin; I close the cabinet door. Because the tasks are so quick, it isn’t too hard to make myself follow the rule, but it has big results.
2. Observe the “evening tidy-up.” I take ten minutes before bed to do simple tidying. Tidying up at night made our mornings more serene and pleasant, because I’m not running to and fro like a headless chicken; and it also helps me prepare me for sleep, because putting things in order is calming, and doing something physical makes me aware of being tired.
3. Do a daily errand, or a bi-weekly errand afternoon. I keep a list of things I need to do (get a prescription filled, buy a new toner cartridge, return library books), and each day, I do one of them. Doing one errand is manageable, and although it doesn’t sound like much, it adds up. My mother prefers to spend one afternoon every few weeks running errands—perhaps a more efficient strategy in a place like Kansas City, where she needs to do a lot of driving from place to place, in contrast to New York City, where I usually do my errands while I’m walking someplace. And while I’m running those errands, I…
4. Buy necessary supplies and keep them in order. Nothing annoys me more than spending time vainly searching for some obscure yet important office supply: a jumbo binder clip, an index card, a ruler, double-sided tape. I dislike running errands (therefore, tip #2), but having the right equipment, and keeping it organized enough so I can find what I want, makes a big difference to how much I can get accomplished in a day. Also my level of aggravation.
5. Ask yourself, “Why do I need this?” before you keep anything. I have a friend who filed the stubs from her gas bills for years. “Why do you keep those at all?” I asked, when she was complaining about how far behind she was with her personal paperwork. “My father always told me to keep that kind of thing,” she said. That’s not a good enough reason!
6. If there’s something you don’t want to do, prepare all the necessary preliminary steps the night before, and make yourself do it first thing in the morning. For example, I dislike making even the easiest phone calls, so I always steel myself to do those right away. (Check here if you need more tips for making yourself place phone calls you don’t want to make.)
7. Be diligent about “unsubscribing.” I need to be better at this. We all find our way onto email lists and newsletters of all sorts, and I often let weeks or months go by before taking five seconds to unsubscribe. But it’s worth it, to weed out clutter from your in-box.
8. Keep a daily scratch pad. You know those notes you write to yourself—phone numbers, URLs, the “call John Doe” reminders, the quick “don’t forget” notes…all those nagging loose ends that clutter the surface of a desk, and then vanish, get thrown away, or can’t be deciphered when you’re looking for them? Now I keep a scratch pad on my desk, and anytime I have the urge to make a note, I discipline myself to write it there. At the end of the day, I copy anything I need to keep (this is important!), then toss the paper.
9. Remember my Eighth Commandment and “Identify the problem.” This sounds so obvious, but it’s astonishingly helpful. For example, I like to work in coffee shops, and for years, and I mean years, I spent a lot of time running out of battery power and chasing around looking for someplace to plug in my laptop. Then I asked myself: “What’s the problem?” Answer: “I need more battery power.” Light dawned. I could buy an extra battery! I did, and it gave me a huge boost in productivity.

Personal productivity: Nine helpful yet realistic tips user
by Gretchen Rubin, on Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:47pm PDT 17 Comments Post a Comment Read More from This Author » Report Abuse I confess: I can’t touch each piece of paper just one time. I can’t return every email within 24 hours. I can’t maintain a clear desk at all times. I can’t go paperless. Nevertheless, I’ve found some realistic strategies for getting things done that have helped me a lot.
One thing I know about myself is that an accumulation of tiny tasks, even if they aren’t particularly irksome in themselves, combine to make me feel overwhelmed and drained. If I can keep little chores from piling up, I feel much more capable of tackling bigger, more difficult tasks. Here are my strategies:
1. Follow the “one-minute rule.” I don’t postpone any task that can be done in less than one minute. I put away my umbrella; I glance at a letter and toss it; I put the newspapers in the recycling bin; I close the cabinet door. Because the tasks are so quick, it isn’t too hard to make myself follow the rule, but it has big results.
2. Observe the “evening tidy-up.” I take ten minutes before bed to do simple tidying. Tidying up at night made our mornings more serene and pleasant, because I’m not running to and fro like a headless chicken; and it also helps me prepare me for sleep, because putting things in order is calming, and doing something physical makes me aware of being tired.
3. Do a daily errand, or a bi-weekly errand afternoon. I keep a list of things I need to do (get a prescription filled, buy a new toner cartridge, return library books), and each day, I do one of them. Doing one errand is manageable, and although it doesn’t sound like much, it adds up. My mother prefers to spend one afternoon every few weeks running errands—perhaps a more efficient strategy in a place like Kansas City, where she needs to do a lot of driving from place to place, in contrast to New York City, where I usually do my errands while I’m walking someplace. And while I’m running those errands, I…
4. Buy necessary supplies and keep them in order. Nothing annoys me more than spending time vainly searching for some obscure yet important office supply: a jumbo binder clip, an index card, a ruler, double-sided tape. I dislike running errands (therefore, tip #2), but having the right equipment, and keeping it organized enough so I can find what I want, makes a big difference to how much I can get accomplished in a day. Also my level of aggravation.
5. Ask yourself, “Why do I need this?” before you keep anything. I have a friend who filed the stubs from her gas bills for years. “Why do you keep those at all?” I asked, when she was complaining about how far behind she was with her personal paperwork. “My father always told me to keep that kind of thing,” she said. That’s not a good enough reason!
6. If there’s something you don’t want to do, prepare all the necessary preliminary steps the night before, and make yourself do it first thing in the morning. For example, I dislike making even the easiest phone calls, so I always steel myself to do those right away. (Check here if you need more tips for making yourself place phone calls you don’t want to make.)
7. Be diligent about “unsubscribing.” I need to be better at this. We all find our way onto email lists and newsletters of all sorts, and I often let weeks or months go by before taking five seconds to unsubscribe. But it’s worth it, to weed out clutter from your in-box.
8. Keep a daily scratch pad. You know those notes you write to yourself—phone numbers, URLs, the “call John Doe” reminders, the quick “don’t forget” notes…all those nagging loose ends that clutter the surface of a desk, and then vanish, get thrown away, or can’t be deciphered when you’re looking for them? Now I keep a scratch pad on my desk, and anytime I have the urge to make a note, I discipline myself to write it there. At the end of the day, I copy anything I need to keep (this is important!), then toss the paper.
9. Remember my Eighth Commandment and “Identify the problem.” This sounds so obvious, but it’s astonishingly helpful. For example, I like to work in coffee shops, and for years, and I mean years, I spent a lot of time running out of battery power and chasing around looking for someplace to plug in my laptop. Then I asked myself: “What’s the problem?” Answer: “I need more battery power.” Light dawned. I could buy an extra battery! I did, and it gave me a huge boost in productivity.

An Evening Talk with Mohamed Ismail - PropNex 2-Apr-2009 at Toa Payoh Hub
Here are some snippets of what I managed to capture:
The SAIL!! - now going at S$1200psf, you can buy one studio apartment for under SGD1mil with good sea view even though not facing the IR.
HDB prices have gone up because two factors:
1. HDB's new building scheme called BTO "build-to-order" meaning they will not start to build until the demand is high by registrations.
2. more PRs have come to Singapore and have contributed the demands.
COV: Cash-over-value
COV is dropping because people are not going to pay higher for HDB flats that are valuated during sales.
In private properties, he classifies them into three categories:
1. Core area - downtown, Sentosa etc
2. Outer Core area - Telok Blangah, Queenstown, Newton etc
3. Others - the mass market
!Now the 99-years mass market private properties are valued at S$620 psf and could still go even lower to S$600 psf BUT no more than 10% lower.
!Freehold private are around S$800 psf. So anything lower than this, it is a BUY!
Typically, the cost of private properties are broken down below:
1. Construction cost: S$200-250 psf
2. Land cost: S$300 (depending on location and the sales offer)
Small developers usually have low holding power and want to sell quick.
In the current situation (Apr 2009), it is either we buy now or at best we can wait for three more months because prices are going to move soon.
We should consider any projects that has walking distance to MRT.
He defines a reasonable walking distance as 200m or less.
When we buy, we should consider with the perspective of keeping it for 5 years and beyond if not speculating.
He thinks that Caspian is the most exciting project for now due to the Lakeside District development coming up in 10 years – versus the others like Double Bay, Mi Casa etc that are launched around the same period.
In the Core and Outer Core area, the composition of the buyers are as follows:
Indonesian = 20%
Malaysian = 12%
Indian = 11%
Chinese = 7%
The above have already contributed around 50% of the prime private properties.
Others = about 50%
And we have lost them in the coming years due to the credit crunch!
The price of these private houses may go down another 15% by year end. There could be some distressed sales during this period.
Therefore we can try The Sail! for S$1200 psf or even lower.
***LANDED PROPERTY***
It is a diminishing stock.
(I learn that landed properties which have leased-hold tenure of 99 years!!!)
If affordable, try to own one. The recommended areas are:
*Mountbatten at District 15
*Siglap - Roseburn, Frankel (bungalow class area)
*NTU area
*Serangoon Chomp Chomp area
Do not buy units that are either below or above road level (parking and fengshui issues)
(He bought his first semi-detached in 1990 when he was 27 years old about 3000sqf at only S$525K. Landed properties price will grow many more times with time.!!!)

清明节简介
清明是我国的二十四节气之一。由于二十四节气比较客观地反映了一年四季气温、降雨、物候等方面的变化，所以古代劳动人民用它安排农事活动。《淮南子?天文训》云:“春分后十五日，斗指乙，则清明风至。”按《岁时百问》的说法：“万物生长此时，皆清洁而明净。故谓之清明。”清明一到，气温升高，雨量增多，正是春耕春种的大好时节。故有“清明前后，点瓜种豆”、“植树造林，莫过清明”的农谚。可见这个节气与农业生产有着密切的关系。
但是，清明作为节日，与纯粹的节气又有所不同。节气是我国物候变化、时令顺序的标志，而节日则包含着一定的风俗活动和某种纪念意义。
清明节是我国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。扫墓俗称上坟，祭祀死者的一种活动。汉族和一些少数民族大多都是在清明节扫墓。
按照旧的习俗，扫墓时，人们要携带酒食果品、纸钱等物品到墓地，将食物供祭在亲人墓前，再将纸钱焚化，为坟墓培上新土，折几枝嫩绿的新枝插在坟上，然后叩头行礼祭拜，最后吃掉酒食回家。唐代诗人杜牧的诗《清明》：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有？牧童遥指杏花村。”写出了清明节的特殊气氛。
清明节，又叫踏青节，按阳历来说，它是在每年的4月4日至6日之间，正是春光明媚草木吐绿的时节，也正是人们春游（古代叫踏青）的好时候，所以古人有清明踏青，并开展一系列体育活动的的习俗。
直到今天，清明节祭拜祖先，悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。

直到今天，清明节祭拜祖先，悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。
清明节习俗
清明节的习俗是丰富有趣的，除了讲究禁火、扫墓，还有踏青、荡秋千、蹴鞠、打马球、插柳等一系列风俗体育活动。相传这是因为清明节要寒食禁火，为了防止寒食冷餐伤身，所以大家来参加一些体育活动，以锻炼身体。因此，这个节日中既有祭扫新坟生别死离的悲酸泪，又有踏青游玩的欢笑声，是一个富有特色的节日。
荡秋千
这是我国古代清明节习俗。秋千，意即揪着皮绳而迁移。它的历史很古老，最早叫千秋，后为了避忌讳，改为秋千。古时的秋千多用树桠枝为架，再栓上彩带做成。后来逐步发展为用两根绳索加上踏板的秋千。打秋千不仅可以增进健康，而且可以培养勇敢精神，至今为人们特别是儿童所喜爱。
蹴鞠
鞠是一种皮球，球皮用皮革做成，球内用毛塞紧。蹴鞠，就是用足去踢球。这是古代清明节时人们喜爱的一种游戏。相传是黄帝发明的，最初目的是用来训练武士。
踏青
又叫春游。古时叫探春、寻春等。三月清明，春回大地，自然界到处呈现一派生机勃勃的景象，正是郊游的大好时光。我国民间长期保持着清明踏青的习惯。
植树
清明前后，春阳照临，春阳照临，春雨飞洒，种植树苗成活率高，成长快。因此，自古以来，我国就有清明植树的习惯。有人还把清明节叫作“植树节”。植树风俗一直流传至今。1979年，人大常委会规定，每年三月十二日为我国植树节。这对动员全国各族人民积极开展绿化祖国活动，有着十分重要的意义。
放风筝
也是清明时节人们所喜爱的活动。每逢清明时节，人们不仅白天放，夜间也放。夜里在风筝下或风稳拉线上挂上一串串彩色的小灯笼，象闪烁的明星，被称为“神灯”。过去，有的人把风筝放上蓝天后，便剪断牵线，任凭清风把它们送往天涯海角，据说这样能除病消灾，给自己带来好运。

清明节的由来与传说
我国传统的清明节大约始于周代，已有二千五百多年的历史。清明最开始是一个很重要的节气，清明一到，气温升高，正是春耕春种的大好时节，故有“清明前后，种瓜种豆”。“植树造林，莫过清明”的农谚。后来，由于清明与寒食的日子接近，而寒食是民间禁火扫墓的日子，渐渐的，寒食与清明就合二为一了，而寒食既成为清明的别称，也变成为清明时节的一个习俗，清明之日不动烟火，只吃凉的食品。
关于寒食，有这样一个传说：
相传春秋战国时代，晋献公的妃子骊姬为了让自己的儿子奚齐继位，就设毒计谋害太子申生，申生被逼自杀。申生的弟弟重耳，为了躲避祸害，流亡出走。在流亡期间，重耳受尽了屈辱。原来跟着他一道出奔的臣子，大多陆陆续续地各奔出路去了。只剩下少数几个忠心耿耿的人，一直追随着他。其中一人叫介子推。有一次，重耳饿晕了过去。介子推为了救重耳，从自己腿上割下了一块肉，用火烤熟了就送给重耳吃。十九年后，重耳回国做了君主，就是著名春秋五霸之一晋文公。
晋文公执政后，对那些和他同甘共苦的臣子大加封赏，唯独忘了介子推。有人在晋文公面前为介子推叫屈。晋文公猛然忆起旧事，心中有愧，马上差人去请介子推上朝受赏封官。可是，差人去了几趟，介子推不来。晋文公只好亲去请。可是，当晋文公来到介子推家时，只见大门紧闭。介子推不愿见他，已经背着老母躲进了绵山（今山西介休县东南）。晋文公便让他的御林军上绵山搜索，没有找到。于是，有人出了个主意说，不如放火烧山，三面点火，留下一方，大火起时介子推会自己走出来的。晋文公乃下令举火烧山，孰料大火烧了三天三夜，大火熄灭后，终究不见介子推出来。上山一看，介子推母子俩抱着一棵烧焦的大柳树已经死了。晋文公望着介子推的尸体哭拜一阵，然后安葬遗体，发现介子推脊梁堵着个柳树树洞，洞里好象有什么东西。掏出一看，原来是片衣襟，上面题了一首血诗：
割肉奉君尽丹心，但愿主公常清明。
柳下作鬼终不见，强似伴君作谏臣。
倘若主公心有我，忆我之时常自省。
臣在九泉心无愧，勤政清明复清明。
晋文公将血书藏入袖中。然后把介子推和他的母亲分别安葬在那棵烧焦的大柳树下。为了纪念介子推，晋文公下令把绵山改为“介山”，在山上建立祠堂，并把放火烧山的这一天定为寒食节，晓谕全国，每年这天禁忌烟火，只吃寒食。
走时，他伐了一段烧焦的柳木，到宫中做了双木屐，每天望着它叹道：“悲哉足下。”“足下”是古人下级对上级或同辈之间相互尊敬的称呼，据说就是来源于此。
第二年，晋文公领着群臣，素服徒步登山祭奠，表示哀悼。行至坟前，只见那棵老柳树死树复活，绿枝千条，随风飘舞。晋文公望着复活的老柳树，像看见了介子推一样。他敬重地走到跟前，珍爱地掐了一下枝，编了一个圈儿戴在头上。祭扫后，晋文公把复活的老柳树赐名为“清明柳”，又把这天定为清明节。
以后，晋文公常把血书袖在身边，作为鞭策自己执政的座佑铭。他勤政清明，励精图治，把国家治理得很好。
此后，晋国的百姓得以安居乐业，对有功不居、不图富贵的介子推非常怀念。每逢他死的那天，大家禁止烟火来表示纪念。还用面粉和着枣泥，捏成燕子的模样，用杨柳条串起来，插在门上，召唤他的灵魂，这东西叫“之推燕”（介子推亦作介之推）。此后，寒食、清明成了全国百姓的隆重节日。每逢寒食，人们即不生火做饭，只吃冷食。在北方，老百姓只吃事先做好的冷食如枣饼、麦糕等；在南方，则多为青团和糯米糖藕。每届清明，人们把柳条编成圈儿戴在头上，把柳条枝插在房前屋后，以示怀念。

风雨梨花寒食过，几家墳上子孙来？
《清江引 清明日出游》

问西楼禁烟何处好？
绿野晴天道。
马穿杨柳嘶，人倚秋千笑，
探莺花总教春醉倒。

普通人奋斗成为杰出企业家的20个好习惯
[分享]普通人奋斗成为杰出企业家的20个好习惯 (入选推荐日志，加10币)
最优秀的企业领导人知道自己需要什么，并能尽全部的努力去达到自己的目标，他们懂得做人、善于决策……
在研究大量成功企业领导者的案例后，我们发现，这些最优秀的企业领导人知道自己需要什么，并能尽全部的努力去达到自己的目标，他们懂得做人、善于决策、充满热忱、持续创新、架构关系、激励团队以及赢得拥戴……最成功的企业家所共同具有的良好习惯和素质，使得这些企业领导人能够脱颖而出。
第一个习惯：懂得做人。会做人，别人喜欢你，愿意和你合作，才容易成事。怎么让别人喜欢自己呢？好的企业领导者都习惯于能真诚地欣赏他人的优点，对人诚实、正直、公正、和善和宽容，对其他人的生活、工作表示深切的关心与兴趣。
台湾著名企业家张忠谋在黑金横行的社会大环境下依然从来不走后门、不走政商关系，更拒绝钻法律漏洞，赢得企业界和民众的极大尊重，官员也因此从来不敢故意刁难他的企业。
第二个习惯：善于决策。面对不断变化的市场，企业经营方案总是不止一个，决策就是要对各种方案进行分析、比较，然后选择一个最佳方案。企业领导者的价值在于“做正确的事情”，同时帮助各阶层的主管“把事情做正确”。
四川长虹总裁倪润峰1996年率先拿起价格武器将彩电大幅降价，从而确立国产彩电的主导地位，正是看准市场、果断决策的典型。
第三个习惯：相信自己。成功的企业领导者都有很强的信心，他们既会在自己内心里相信自己，也会在公众面前表现出这种自信心。成功学的研究成果表明：成功的欲望是创造和拥有财富的源泉。
英特尔总裁葛洛夫认为“只有偏执狂才能生存”，坚持与自信成就了英特尔今天的伟业。
第四个习惯：明确目标，什么是领导？世界级企管大师班尼士下了个定义：“创造一个令下属追求的前景和目标，将它转化为大家的行为，并完成或达到所追求的前景和目标。”企业领导者们知道，要使员工能奉献于企业共同的远景，就必须使目标深植于每一个员工的心中，必须和每个员工信守的价值观相一致；否则，不可能激发这种热情。
有“神奇教练”之称的米卢蒂诺维奇已经创造纪录，他所带的每支队伍都有一个明确的目标，就是打进世界杯的决赛圈。
第五个习惯：充满热忱。热忱有时候比领导者的才能重要，若二者兼具，则天下无敌。产生持久的热忱方法之一是定出一个目标，努力工作达到这个目标，而在达到这个目标之后，再定出另一个目标，再去努力达到。这样做可以提供兴奋和挑战，如此就可以帮助个人维持热忱而不坠。
第六个习惯：顽强精神。如果说有一种素质几乎为所有的成功企业领导者所拥有的话那就是顽强精神。所谓顽强，并不是达到愚蠢地步的顽固，它是一种下决心要取得结果的精神。在管理实践中，作为一个领导者，你手下的人都希望领导是一个不屈不挠的人。只有你的竞争对手希望你放弃这种精神。
第七个习惯：重视人才。企业最好的资产是人，企业领导者的美德在于挑选好的合作伙伴。选一个适合的人，比选一个优秀的人来得重要。除了专业所必备的素质之外，他们找人要看3种东西：一是必须精力充沛。有精神、有气派，这样的人可以走长途，可以感染人，适应变动。
二是要正直。考虑个人利益的同时，能够考虑到公司的利益。三是要有智慧和胆识，有进行思考的能力和魄力。
“萧何月下追韩信”、刘备“三顾茅庐”都是识人用人的经典例子。
第八个习惯：充分授权。人的精力是有限的，我们不可能一个人做所有的事。所以，作为一个企业领导必须学会把权力授予适当的人。授权的真正手段是要能够给人以责任、赋予权力，并要保证有一个良好的报告反馈系统。
美国前总统里根是一个出名的放任主义者，他只关注最重要的事情，将其它事情交给手下得力的人去负责，自己因此可以经常去打球、度假，但并不妨碍他成为美国历史上最伟大的总统之一。
第九个习惯：激励团队。组织起一个优秀的团队，是一件非常艰难和重要的事情。激发起他们的热情，挖掘出每一位团队成员的聪明与潜力，并将他们协调起来，是成功的领导者必须具备的一种能力。一个企业领导人必须是一个能激发起员工动力的人。
第十个习惯：终生学习。衡量企业成功的尺度是创新能力，而创新来源于不断的学习，不学习不读书就没有新思想，也就不会有新策略和正确的决策。孔子说：“朝闻道，夕死可矣。”正是终生学习的最佳写照。
第十一个习惯：持续创新。当今世界正面临着的一个非常严峻的现实是：如果你停步不前，你就会失去自己的立足之地。这一点对于任何领导或公司都是同样的道理。如果你满足于现状，你就丧失了创新能力，而创新是人类发展的主要源泉。具有创新头脑的人是不怕变革的。
耐克不断改进自己的运动鞋，以适应人类行走和奔跑的需要；不断寻找为当时年轻人所接受的明星作为代言人，希望永远被认为是“酷”的代名词，没有持续创新，已有几十年历史的耐克就会被年轻一代抛弃。
第十二个习惯：架构关系。一个好的企业领导者习惯于架构关系。他们知道，关系已成为人际中个人成长、企业成事的重要条件与资源。关系就如同网络，构架起人与人、群体与群体、企业与客户、企业与企业之间的互动。为了企业的发展，任何一个领导者都缺少不了“关系管理”。西方国家的大企业常常邀请其它大企业的管理者加入自己的董事会，不仅拓宽了眼界，而且在经营管理中会得到意想不到的助力。
第十三个习惯：抓住机会。每个人都被机会包围着，但是机会只是在它们被看见时才存在，而且机会只有在被寻找时才会被看见，关键在于你如何认识机会，利用机会，抓住机会和创造这些机会。
第十四个习惯：有效沟通。邻导者与被领导者之间的有效沟通，是管理艺术的精髓。比较完美的企业领导者习惯用约70%的时间与他人沟通，剩下30%左右的时间用于分析问题和处理相关事务。他们通过广泛的沟通使员工成为一个公司事务的全面参与者。
第十五个习惯：经营未来。成功的企业领导人都懂得，未来是属于那些今天就已经为之做好准备的人。他们用20%的时间去处理眼前那些大量的紧要事情，这只是为了眼前的生计；而把80%的时间留给那些较少但很重要的事情，这是为了未来。
第十六个习惯：赢得拥戴。一个企业领导人的梦想不管如何伟大，假如没有拥戴者的认同与支持，梦想仍然只是梦想。要赢得拥戴者的首要任务就是：认同我们的拥戴者，并找出他们共同的渴望是什么？假如说领导人需要具备什么特殊天赋的话，那就是感受他人目的的能力。
第十七个习惯：勇于自制。具有高度的自制力是一种最难得的美德。热忱是促使你采取行动的重要原动力，而自制力则是指引你行动方向的平衡轮。在管理活动实践中，一个有能力管好别人的人不一定是一个好的领导者，只有那些有能力管好自己的人才能成功。
深圳万科总裁王石1992年时针对一些房地产开发商低于40%的不做的暴利心态，提出万科“高于25%的利润不做”的口号，如今万科还健康地活着，当年众多追逐暴利的企业则大部分已死掉。
第十八个习惯：培养领导。最成功的领导者是那些把工作授权给别人去做的人，是把下属培养为领导者的人，是把领导者变为变革者的人。联想集团董事长柳传志培养了两大少帅：杨元庆和郭为，使集团的事业后继有人、基业长青。
第十九个习惯：注重家庭。比较完美的企业领导者常把家庭比作登山的后援营地。他们在筹备后援营地(家庭)上所花的时间，绝不能少于实际登山(干事业)的时间，因为他们的生存、登山的高度，常常与后援营地是否牢固和存粮是否充足有关。这些企业领导者还懂得，全面的成功才算真正的成功，他们往往在干事业的同时，能够兼顾家庭，珍惜幸福的婚姻。
第二十个习惯：经营健康。许多立志要成功但最后壮志难酬的企业领导人，往往是因为不能战胜一个最大的敌人，这个敌人就是自己不健康的身体。美国管理界流行着一个观点：不会管理自己身体的人亦无资格管理他人，不会经营自己健康的人就不会经营自己的事业。
在管理的过程中，我们共同成长！

If you are jobless and you feel hopeless, here's one possible way you can try.
No I don't know Sam Foo - nor I think his session would work.
But it is one possible way out if you have exhausted all other means.
S$1500 is rather stiff for people without income.
Would be good that they allow people to pay by instalment.
That would have been a more brilliant idea and easy on people too.
