wow....with these resting days at home, i have finished reading "when genius failed" it's really a good book and the author, roger lowenstein, is an amazing story-teller (i think he was formerly a journalist) i love the story of Long Term Capital Management. though i've just heard of them when i took the frm exam...but their composition of genius (including those infamous cornerstones of modern finance like Merton Miller and Myron Scholes.....u've properly took some study on Black-Scholes-Merton formula in option pricing if u are a business students) really aroused my interest to take a deep look of the ups and downs of the hedge fund they built up in 90's.
really thanks mike suggesting me this book in ur list and i am going to the third one in ur list, i.e. "an accidental investment banker" |

| 春節 |
今個春節,以休息為主:
大年初一: 全日都係食野、打機、睇書。
年初二: 一起身就去左跑一陣步,下午除左去大度
年初三: 原定全日都要練歌,突然取消左。下晏出左去MK行左一陣,成條街都係內地同胞,好明顯,香港o既零售對象改變左,再唔係本土香港人,而係全國十三億的自由行人口(不過,其實只係得幾個城市開放左自由行)。唔需要無奈,好彩香港人適應力強(好聽d講就係,唔好聽就係認錢唔認人,理得你係講廣東話定係普通話),如果唔係,今時今日好難撈。更加好彩o既係,買野個陣d sales無同我講普通話,你知啦,家下(當然係講後生仔女啦)從衣著都好難分。真係好彩,下次都係少d去MK。 |

| 明德格物 |
前幾日o係珠海,食飯時講開大家的學校校訓。香港大學的是「明德格物」Sapientia et Virtus。中文那一部份,「明德」我記得出自《大學》的:「大學之道,在明明德,在親民,在止於至善。」拋了一下書包;「格物」就只是依稀記得出自明代某個人物。拉丁文那一部分就毫無頭緒。 今日從網上找來一個精簡的介紹。
香港大學校訓「明德格物」Sapientia et Virtus校訓「明德」、「格物」二語,均出於「四書」中的《大學》。《大學》以簡明扼要的方式,闡明儒家修身齊家治國平天下的學說。《大學》開宗明義說:「大學之道,在明明德,在親民,在止於至善。」又說:「古之欲明明德於天下者,先治其國;欲治其國者,先齊其家;欲齊其家者,先修其身;欲修其身者,先正其心;欲正其心者,先誠其意;欲誠其意者,先致其知。致知在格物。」朱熹以「明明德」、「親民」、「止於至善」為三綱領,以「格物」、「致知」、「誠意」、「正心」、「修身」、「齊家」、「治國」、「平天下」為八條目。八條目是實現三綱領的八個步驟。
釋義:「明明德」- 第一個「明」字是使動詞,第二個「明」字是形容詞。「明德」是人與生俱來的光明皎潔的德性。「明明德」就是讓這種德性彰顯出來,並將它發揚光大。然後推己及人,使天下的人都能夠彰明其明德,同歸於至善。校訓將「明明德」簡稱為「明德」。「格物」是八條目的根本,也就是「明明德」的基本工夫。「格物」指窮究事物的原理,而「格物」最基本的方法就是讀書。「格物」的目的在於「致知」,即擁有淵博的知識。從「格物」、「致知」順推,即一步步做下去,才能達到「明明德於天下」的終極目的。「明明德於天下」,則天下太平。
The Chinese motto on the University’s crest is taken from the Confucian classic the Great Learning and refers to moral and intellectual enrichment of human lives.The Latin motto, ‘Sapientia et Virtus’, aptly translates the spirit of the Chinese. The word Sapientia was in the Middle Ages rendered “wisdom”. It represents the best results of Ke-wu (格物) or Science as we should translate the phrase in modern English.
The Latin Virtus, in the sense employed by the stoics, with emphasis on the vir, has no exact equivalent in modern English, but it is the right meaning of te(德) in Confucian literature.Sapientia et Virtus conveys the application of knowledge to the necessities of life, subject to moral restraints.

很有深意,三綱領「明明德」、「親民」、「止於至善」,八條目「格物」、「致知」、「誠意」、「正心」、「修身」、「齊家」、「治國」、「平天下」。 作為香港大學的學生,以此警惕自己,也不為過。 |
