Hải đảo tự thân

Thở vào, ta về hải đảo tự thân.
Có cây đẹp tươi giữa đảo.
Có suối sạch trong.
Có chim, có nắng và không khí mát.
Thở ra, ta thấy tự do.
Ta vui khi về hải đảo của ta.
(PTH dịch)

Island of the self

Breathing in, I go back to the island within myself.
There are beautiful trees within the island.
There are clear streams of water.
There are birds, sunshine and fresh air.
Breathing out I feel free.
I enjoy going back to my island.

  1. Cám ơn Thu Hương đã tiếp lời mình trên đây nghen. 🙂

    Bài hôm nay anh Hoành nói cần có một nền hạnh phúc để làm mọi việc trong đời (chứ không phải là làm mọi chuyện để có được hạnh phúc). Tức là hạnh phúc đó chẳng cần điều kiện gì cả từ bên ngoài cả, đó chính là hạnh phúc nội tâm, là xây đắp 1 nội tâm vững vàng, luôn an bình, hạnh phúc từ bên trong, để rồi lan tỏa ra ngoài. Series các bài này là cho việc vun đắp 1 nội tâm hạnh phúc như vậy.

  3. Hi chị Hường và cả nhà,

    Em cám ơn chị Hường gửi link cho cả nhà cùng xem. TED talk thật thú vị.

    Em gửi cả nhà bản ghi lời nói của Dr Alan Watkins, từ http://www.transcriptsearch.com.es/id/q06YIWCR2Js:

    thank very much lee um… so i’m gonna talk to you about you
    and has you can be brilliant every single day
    so regards cost of the last fifteen years
    witness on the best c_e_o_’s and executives around the world
    and one of my observations is some the rhapsody fantastic but the problem is
    they can’t be fantastic every single day
    which reminds me of the story of a staff of the character high and watching the
    tv
    about five years ago uh… and not on the gulf of those watching
    uh… the british open and uh… uh…

    brady at the gulf coast it it off the west bank and brilliant all week
    uh… dominating the field
    and it came to the lost rack
    and and he was for them
    uh… fantastic
    analyst sunday morning fun nine
    at the school thirty nine shots
    on the previous day on the fact that i
    uh… it’s called
    twenty-nine shots on exactly the same holes
    so overnight he coughed and salt
    on the sample
    so what happens for a current unkind costing and one which economic
    uh… the uh… the character
    uh…

    and very interestingly exactly here later couric harrington uh…

    beat sergio garcia having kids in the u_s_ are masters figure played
    brilliantly all week he got to the sunday
    and something went wrong he was leading the field by six schultz
    and on the sunday again port carrington can cost
    so that was a really interesting to me and peter alex that the finest off
    commentator is watching this
    and says
    it’s funny working golf
    as there is a complete mystery why these things happen
    uh… avez complete loss of full
    uh… salon they’re checking out the television it’s no mystery to me
    uh… actually i know what happened
    and i know why sergio garcia
    basically between two thousand seven two thousand right
    really didn’t learn that much because he made exactly the same stake in two
    thousand eight designated contestants at
    so i’m gonna share with you at the secret about that
    uh… as some of things that we’ve been teaching executives uh… bringing in
    some nearest times which is my background
    and uh… can reveal some secret sister how you’ll system works
    three to go through that none of break with ted tradition at the end of the
    talk i’m gonna have a bit of live demonstration something
    don’t dispute it is the model that we were to at that starts to explain why
    sergio or anybody
    uh… married loose performance beloit united’s performance
    and what you need to do to maintain your politics every single day
    so if we’re all after the same goal
    uh… where after improving our performance in some way or the results
    in some way
    and it doesn’t really matter what kind of results were talking about whether
    talking back
    sporting results we were talking about business results uh… you know academic
    performance
    uh… relationship performance
    sexual performance

    unwanted simony when i say that but
    whatever we’re talking about
    thank you
    what is going through that performance for first and foremost in or the change
    the result
    you’ve got to focus on people’s behavior
    so we’ve got it do the things differently in order to get a different
    result
    semis performance appraisals in industry
    uh… focus on what you’ve been doing so you get any sleep also and he said all
    of us in three sixty dates etc
    you know you’ve been doing these kind of thing that’s really good
    these other things not-so-good so a bit less about plays a bit more of that
    so we should do that and less of that
    uh… and sometimes that actually works and he got a different result
    but also a lot of times it doesn’t make much difference
    or let me make a difference if the leaders stood over
    that employees cracking the whip and making sure they do this
    so ek it’s necessary insufficient
    and the reason being is that even when people know what to do
    sometimes it just ended
    on noel to make another fans in calls to a thousand customers but you know what
    it’s friday afternoon
    unlimited
    so it’s not enough just to focus on what you can see on the surface on the back
    pages
    you’ve got to really get to grips with what’s on the inside of individual why
    do people do what they did
    uh… if you really want to change performance permanently in the brilliant
    every single day either to get to go to the inside
    the first and foremost what cited driving behavior
    is how people think
    so how you think determines what you did
    so when i’m catching up with the uh… if these things i’m an idiot
    he’s not gonna do what i say
    why would he
    ortiz thinks well i’m saying is rubbish
    so i’ve got to get a great
    of what he thinks about the fact that a cosmic asking some questions
    which is a uh… a lot more complicated than just observing the behavior
    that is if you don’t get too great to start often more detailed questions
    you won’t get a sustained would change the results it won’t last
    you’ll get this variance in performance
    this form loss
    so you’ve got to get too great to have people think about you about what was
    saying about the world
    but even if you didn’t stand up
    because of something more fundamental driving had people think
    so how do you think is really
    hugely influenced by how you feel that that these two things affect each other
    thinking of expedient fitting affects thinking it goes back and forward
    interlude
    but the dominant factor really is
    so for whole bunch of your scientific reason beyond the time to explain
    action if you want to change what people do
    you’ve gotta change their thinking
    as you mentioned i think he’ll actually have to change how they feel
    this is a much more significant impact on that new iran so if you feel anxious
    for example
    it’s no good reason to you
    didn’t like
    argued expense that doesn’t work elem business exam
    don’t work
    eloped to know what i hadn’t thought not to worry that we also then
    al-mal worry all go to how much was that
    as the change
    it doesn’t work out that you board experience
    but if you feel anxious you feel anxious and then i don’t worry he’s going to
    help you in fact it often makes you with roy if they don’t worry
    onward
    so the real active ingredient is you’ve got to change this
    still not enough
    there’s something more fundamental driving how do you feel
    and that is the old war emotion
    so you’ve got to change the emotional to train the field strains of thinking
    nineteen ninety-five there wandering around on that
    feelings of most of the same stuff is that
    it is not
    so many people down there doesn’t appear any minds
    friends in science and metzenbaum realize that feelings emotions are not
    the same thing
    that many people to realize things and thinking are not the same thing
    to connect
    they lost many men
    to tell you had a field and they tell you how they think of the diamonds on
    the question
    so you think that’s the women everybody that’s and that’s a that’s been my
    experience
    and there’s the mess up again walk
    wasn’t open it
    these are not the same phenomena thinking and feeling a not the same
    thing and feelings and emotions are not the same thing
    so if you want to change the result like change the behavior there on multiple
    levels the community got to grips with emotion still not enough
    there was something even more fundamental down here in the basement of
    the human system is your physiology
    so the reason you get variants like said you’re giving his performance is there a
    multiple levels that sergio garcia hasn’t got control as a he’s just contra
    concentrating on his technical putting performance of the way that you drive
    the ball
    and the grip of any use of the stuff that even if he’s putting himself
    and rehearsing mentally on the people from google from good golfer is not
    enough is a still three levels that he has in the purple
    so if you want to be really every single day you’ve got a creek get a grip of
    every single level
    and that’s how you
    crying happy radii every single day
    so that’s just what’s in the back to top simply stop with physiology what is that
    that is just simply streams of data
    battle physiology is its data streams
    so how come talking to you right now and i think you getting streams of data
    coming into your brain about what’s going on in your body
    to some of you have the cupcake a break
    and you begin a signal from lookup single children we got schindler
    and it’s coming to a grand total ban what’s going on in your gut
    on some of you then getting contractions around that cupcake
    they look fresh ways being created tell your brain about what’s going on in your
    gut
    cities or just bits of physiology
    data streams
    as some of you might rightful tight
    you’ve got doing position sense going up in the channels into a brain telling
    your
    right about what your fingers off
    the just bits of physiology sista streams of data if you will
    so what’s the motion
    well emotion if you take all the streams of data with its coming from your gut
    we’ll joints we’ll halt
    or your lungs if you take
    the data from all the streams
    atl or bubbly systems and it comes into your brain is electrical signals
    electromagnetic signals chemical waste pressure waves
    take all of those signals from all of those systems that’s one of the motion
    is
    it’s simply energy
    in motion
    that’s all in the motion is
    so we’ll come back
    even status
    we’ve all done motions every second of every day
    there is an energetic state kevin phillips
    because the continent i guess they were completely intact
    haha constantly beating
    it’s happening all the time
    so we’ve got energy in motion
    every single second of everything without the women all have feelings
    feelings i’ll be awareness in our minds
    all that energy
    and that’s what the problem is
    the and he may be dead but we just don’t feel it
    so for example if you take a very common experience to most people if we look at
    what is the energetic signature if you will of something like anxiety
    what goes on physiologically when mistakes bangkok if we look at the heart
    rates it’s false
    possible boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
    what else is happening
    what’s happening in the mathematics draw i say he’s talking with a book called
    wound twenty
    that’s happening
    what’s happening the palm of your hand this tactic
    what’s happening got it’s churning
    seeing other specific physiological constituents about thing
    that you would know
    as anxiety
    and i ask you how you feel peace settlement
    so what date is that you just not feeling
    and if you don’t see any it’s altering
    what your thinking and how well your thinking it which is changing what
    you’re doing
    but you don’t realize that
    cuz you feel a lot
    not noticing any of that
    you’re just thinking what your thinking and doing what you do
    so what we’re saying is that
    the brilliance of the day i recall the need to chew hand
    to what’s happening down here at the physical and emotional level
    and on you become aware back but get control over it because most of you do
    not have to control about level
    and that very few people about control of any of this stuff on the inside
    and in england it would be highly trained
    on the gate in their behavior even and what not asking for the next
    so that’s the source of debris as it can get control of the whole thing
    you can print out your a game every single day
    so how do you get control with both of us start with which the difficult you
    can have so many different signals where we gonna start with a star
    with one specific signal which is the electrical signals of your heart
    so your party selling a heartbeat and in in and
    you what you know
    the medical programs before it is the
    to with those net
    uh… to the pain is the hardest-hit contracts because the spike electricity
    and he commits the distance between each heart beat
    i don’t know where the united but the distance between each copy various
    overtime so if we look at your heart rate
    overtime will say that your heart rate will very often that
    if you get to the doctors he takes
    your polls but he says the average is seventy
    but in taking the averages nordic nor in all the barriers annex variants that
    really matters
    taking averaging removal the critical data that’s what you think about songs
    and the average
    is done on
    was at nine thousand filter
    and we don’t know
    so it’s a very useful sometimes called heart rate variability to skate
    harvard-educated three reasons
    number one it predicted that if i missed your very briefly twenty four hours i
    can tell you when you get it done
    so now i have your attention
    alright sumeet otitis organizations joe wong again
    so we can sell ’em on that
    so the other reason it predicted the majority are the two twenty four hours i
    can tell you how much energy got
    uh… which is sort of interesting to me is that the disney lots of energy
    but the real reason that they’d buy and they’re interested in this is still a
    child b
    alters brain function
    so when i put you under pressure book basically happens curate shall be
    is it becomes super celtics that basically
    your brain
    receives a signal from your heart
    often of channels
    which went under pressure to come see the payoff the consequence the super
    calculation softer frontal lobes and you have a delight white local to me
    so under pressure you look optimize yourself
    it’s as though you suddenly taken the stupid pales people
    so i thought we just show that to you for a live demonstrations
    to show you how easy it is
    secret payoffs in your biology what he wanted to happen or not so we need a
    uh… awaiting volunteer
    for this man is it just for the signature and i’m gonna show you had to
    be brilliant
    uh… by showing your physiology seventy-two volunteered to come up with
    you wouldn’t know what to do is just but a little click on your ear
    so thank you very much around a pole strut
    practical since
    suneel is like connie does not have
    idea what would it be determined to this is really very brave
    uh… so if that’s all the mitchell nearly the life says it is hard meeting
    so you can see that it’s on his heart contracts its quick split up into a
    series is gonna read between contractions all the blood and that
    means is that white city to the person sitting next you go back to see there is
    flashing red white
    they’ve whites
    x you can see that could arise not sensitive enough
    but what this little clip-on he’ll be a kind of thing is we can see the changing
    color
    his read his white news read his white kids read his wife
    so this is a copy pays good news that you’re alive night
    uh… the heart beating a leg bone
    bomb so the heart’s beating and so what the software does bases the distance
    between each one of those beans
    and based on a different thing defeat of the state capitol spotlighted seventy
    six
    they can’t take it again and again and again and again and again and you can
    say
    but it’s not like baldwin along about seventy-five beats per minute
    supporting relaxed second each at your heart rate should be doing about
    seventy-five beats per minute a case of what we’re gonna do in a moment we’re
    going to put him under a little bit of pressure
    and see how well the types with that kind of pressure
    either under pressure
    uh… we don’t know what we were just about over just about to find out my
    so that’s a high when he does under pressure
    uh… so we haven’t started yet already eight all rights for the quick enough
    for about ninety
    study said well what we did it uh… so there with the negatives mathematics had
    the diet mathematics for west point cadet this will be no trouble right sec
    and about you think he’s quite a bit of the
    good i’m quite good
    is them off the charts the nineties
    the is seven baghdad he can say that the public health nine three system right
    now
    so even if i’m good at this
    banking natural physiological response to a challenge
    you put something in the pressure of these artists
    what he wants it to happen or not
    you might look like he’s in control
    he is not
    in fact on here come the pocket moscow
    i’m putting his strains of what he wants me to do that or not
    for the moment of the devon certainty that the dog is the second around about
    haiti slightly higher than it was before
    who doesn’t know what’s going to happen
    so let’s see how what his brain actually functions under pressure
    so sad that that massive really was
    footages account at my back with subtracting season the start of a
    certain number of just a quick reading committee also take which weekend in the
    also tikrit other three to be authenticated serial subtraction vault
    freezer at making the static if you make a mistake it’s fifty quit
    a case of financial penalty for every era
    so uh… is miserably
    but they say would admit that public phone to contact that backwards
    subtracting three is
    uh… the mention of fifty create look the hot race track topic to a hundred
    and twenty just attention in the system
    so again i’m just talking to matt what’s happening active by me just talking to
    him f physiology payoff is kicking in cannot simply send a signal from his
    heart to his brain is the leading to his brain function will say that so fossa
    comeback making mistakes have chosen tax of three starting off at three hundred
    atmo
    templates apostasy than eighty-six student
    at seventy-seven tonight that the by syntheses all some seventy-three tools
    and at the same wouldn’t or that
    well dug in the right opposed every friday
    so what you can say is when i started feeding the romances two children eight
    well
    what make their way
    you get this it’s called for to put the best informed frontal lobe shot back
    so under pressure
    the frontal lobe shuts down in the simplest of tossed
    subtract
    three from that number t ektu
    banks haven’t all of you
    when you and the pressure
    your brain is built this way
    so one of the things you need to learn to do is to get control at physiological
    level
    switched on the celtics signal
    what’s called coherence to the finger on the passport that underpins brain
    function
    is the ability to generate a coherent signal for there’s variants but it’s
    stable variance as opposed to
    wildly fluctuate vets and back is the source of your friends
    thank you very much.
