2008年5月31日上午，北京大學(xué)中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)研究中心（CCER）、北大國(guó)際MBA（BiMBA）2008屆畢業(yè)典禮在北京大學(xué)百年講堂隆重舉行。北京大學(xué)名譽(yù)校董、北京大學(xué)教育基金會(huì)名譽(yù)理事廖凱原先生出席了畢業(yè)典禮并發(fā)表了《追尋超越想象的財(cái)富》的主題演講。演講全文如下：

　　 誰想要貧窮？請(qǐng)舉手!有人么？

　　 誰愿意富裕？請(qǐng)舉手！有人么？

　　 誰愿意富裕得令自己難以相信？

　　 今天我想跟你們分享我的思想和財(cái)富的秘密。

　　 形而上學(xué)

　　 有一位法國(guó)哲學(xué)家、數(shù)學(xué)家、科學(xué)家、律師兼作家，名叫笛卡兒，以“現(xiàn)代哲學(xué)之父”著稱。他懷疑一切，并發(fā)現(xiàn)他的懷疑植根于他的思想；
而且由于他不能懷疑他的懷疑不存在，因此他的思想確實(shí)存在；
由于他不能和他的思想分開，所以他自己確實(shí)存在。

　　 所以他宣稱：“我疑故我思，我思故我在�！彼麘岩赏獠渴澜绲拇嬖�，但他認(rèn)為存在一個(gè)永恒不變的靈魂實(shí)體或神。

　　 相反，希臘哲學(xué)家巴門尼德（伊里亞，公元前510年）則相信肉體和思想是一體的。他闡明：如果我們感知到周圍的事物在變化，那時(shí)因?yàn)槲覀冏约罕蛔约旱母兄�欺騙。

　　 實(shí)際上我們周圍的世界是永恒不變的，它一直以相同的方式存在著，并且會(huì)繼續(xù)以這種方式存在到永遠(yuǎn)。

　　 在某種程度上，孔夫子（551-479 BC）在 “禮”和“仁”的思想中也持有類似的形而上學(xué)的假設(shè)，即：不變的原則和永遠(yuǎn)的真理。這或多或少是一種靜態(tài)的世界觀。

　　 在科學(xué)領(lǐng)域，牛頓則提出了對(duì)宇宙的機(jī)械的看法：只要原因已知，則結(jié)果已經(jīng)確定，如月球必然繞著地球轉(zhuǎn)。

　　 然而，愛因斯坦的相對(duì)論不是機(jī)械的，但“這里”和在“那里”的具體時(shí)空具有確定性。在精確的速率和“這里”及“那里”上，時(shí)空可能會(huì)扭曲。

　　 因此，根據(jù)愛因斯坦的理論，世界是有序和可數(shù)量化的，可以用他著名的數(shù)學(xué)公式精確來測(cè)算，即E = mc2 。在宏觀世界中，它非常有效。

　　 但是，量子物理統(tǒng)治著粒子世界，粒子的行為在我們看起來是很奇怪而無序的。它的行為有時(shí)候像粒子有時(shí)候又像波。它似乎擁有心靈感應(yīng)的威力，并且可以在宇宙中不同的地點(diǎn)同時(shí)存在。

　　 盡管愛因斯坦是量子理論的創(chuàng)始人之一，但他認(rèn)為量子理論顯然是錯(cuò)誤的，并且憎惡這個(gè)理論的不確定性效應(yīng)。他在寫給尼爾斯•玻爾（ 1922年諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎(jiǎng)得主）的信中表達(dá)了他對(duì)宇宙的觀點(diǎn)：“上帝沒有與這個(gè)世界玩投骰子的游戲”。

　　 然而尼爾斯•玻爾冷靜地反駁道：
“愛因斯坦，請(qǐng)不要告訴上帝怎么投他的骰子”。另一位物理學(xué)家斯蒂芬•霍金進(jìn)一步評(píng)論說：“上帝不僅與這個(gè)世界玩擲骰子的游戲，而且他總是把骰子扔到我們看不到的地方”！

　　 赫拉克利特（以弗所，公元前535年），雖然與巴門尼德生活在同一地區(qū)和時(shí)代，但他得出的結(jié)論卻與巴門尼德相反，他認(rèn)為我們可以信任我們的感官，而且我們的感官告訴我們一切都是永恒流動(dòng)的。

　　 沒有任何事物永遠(yuǎn)維持現(xiàn)狀。變化是生命和宇宙的法則，而且我們永遠(yuǎn)也不能逃脫這一規(guī)則。

　　 有趣的是，傳說中《易經(jīng)》的作者，中國(guó)神話中三大君主之首——伏羲的教誨與赫拉克利特的觀點(diǎn)類似，即變化意味著“無休止的生產(chǎn)和再生產(chǎn)”，變化是宇宙中唯一的永恒。

　　 偉大的莊子（公元前369-286）對(duì)“道”的含義做出過著名的解釋：
“天地與我并生，而萬物與我為一�！保ā肚f子•齊物論》）在某種程度上，他認(rèn)為他與道同時(shí)產(chǎn)生，而且融為一體。

　　 我更傾向于伏羲的易經(jīng)中的行而上學(xué)，老-莊子的道和楊朱（公元前370-319 ）的哲學(xué) 。我認(rèn)為他們都與赫拉克利特有相似的玄學(xué)和哲學(xué)觀念，而且都與量子物理學(xué)“一切都是流動(dòng)的”的理論相一致。

　　 我相信本質(zhì)和形式，物質(zhì)與功能，有名和無名的統(tǒng)一。換句話說，萬物都只是本質(zhì)的表現(xiàn)，物質(zhì)在功能中的“意愿”的表現(xiàn)。

　　 毛澤東通過他的辯證唯物主義方法提出了一個(gè)與量子物理學(xué)類似的光輝構(gòu)思 。那就是一個(gè)人可以從一無所有中創(chuàng)造出無限的知識(shí)。正如在他的《實(shí)踐論》（1937）中所指出的：“通過實(shí)踐發(fā)現(xiàn)真理，并通過實(shí)踐檢驗(yàn)和發(fā)展真理……實(shí)踐，認(rèn)識(shí)，再實(shí)踐，再認(rèn)識(shí)；
并且無限循環(huán)重復(fù)下去……”

　　 這也是與鄧小平的名言相呼應(yīng)的：“解放思想，實(shí)事求是”。他認(rèn)識(shí)到只有從預(yù)設(shè)的觀念中解放思想，才能發(fā)現(xiàn)真理。只有解放思想，接受新的觀點(diǎn)和知識(shí)，才可以發(fā)現(xiàn)真理，才可以科學(xué)地實(shí)現(xiàn)真正的進(jìn)步 。

　　 我相信，一切都會(huì)變化。沒有什么是永恒性的。我相信我們生活在一個(gè)思想先于物質(zhì)的世界。所有粒子都含有“思想”的信息，并且所有粒子在信息網(wǎng)絡(luò)上相互關(guān)聯(lián)。這就是為什么這些粒子在我們的世界中無所不在，無處不在，并且似乎擁有心靈感應(yīng)一樣的聯(lián)系。

　　 我是誰？

　　 我相信我們來自始于137億年前宇宙大爆炸中產(chǎn)生的不可抑制的小東西 。億萬年前，我們的祖先打了一個(gè)賭而且獲得了生的機(jī)會(huì)。

　　 他們克服艱難，打破了一切終將分解然后消彌于無序的熵的法則。為了逃避死亡，他們實(shí)現(xiàn)了反熵的轉(zhuǎn)化。他們創(chuàng)造了生命！他們是創(chuàng)世者。

　　 為了給生命留下一絲機(jī)會(huì)，他們?cè)敢飧八馈Ｉ�命的孿生兄弟是死亡，二者成對(duì)出現(xiàn)。他們?cè)敢饽蒙�命來嘗試。他們又創(chuàng)造了兩性！

　　 骰子被拋出了，他們抓住了機(jī)會(huì)。他們就是冒險(xiǎn)者，他們至今仍然留存在我們的基因里，所以我們就是創(chuàng)造者，就是冒險(xiǎn)者 。

　　 什么是成功？

　　 我認(rèn)為成功就是一個(gè)在生活中克服困難的過程，克服熵的力量。我相信只有當(dāng)你死亡的時(shí)候你才會(huì)失敗。或者當(dāng)你身體非常虛弱，已經(jīng)不能在生活中再做什么了，那么你也失敗了。

　　 熵的法則壓倒你。無序就是日常的秩序�；靵y支配著世界�；靵y支配著世界�！笆�敗是成功之母”是一個(gè)很好的信條，但卻不是最好一個(gè)。

　　 最好的是：“本來就沒有失敗；
成功也只不過是活著而且健康�！碧热裟軌蚪】档鼗钪�，你獲得的財(cái)富就已超出想象。

　　 生命是一個(gè)奇跡。生命有能力克服死亡的壓迫，至少是能夠暫時(shí)如此。我們?cè)谶@個(gè)宇宙生存下來的概率接近于零。

　　 我們之所以能夠生存，是因?yàn)槿缛藫裨�理所假定，這個(gè)宇宙為了適應(yīng)我們的生存而專門設(shè)計(jì)的。

　　 因此，我認(rèn)為楊朱建議我們要照顧我們的身體是正確的，因?yàn)槲覀兊纳眢w是我們的廟宇，我們的生命力量只能在此廟宇中生存 。（“為我”）

　　 他知生之暫來，須抓住每一絲幸福與快樂。從情理上講，這樣做正確而且必須。每一個(gè)人都有權(quán)利享受他所能實(shí)現(xiàn)的最充實(shí)的生活。

　　 他在提倡培養(yǎng)“六感”中概述其哲學(xué)思想，享受自我并慶祝生活。

　　 他說：“恣耳之所欲聽，恣目之所欲視，恣鼻之所欲向，恣口之所欲言，恣體之所欲安，恣意之所欲行。”（《列子•楊朱篇》）

　　 到最后，只有一個(gè)原則：聽從心愿，你將永無失敗。忘了其他的所有法則吧。

　　 當(dāng)你理解了楊朱的建議，你的一生將遠(yuǎn)離貧窮，你將擁有超出想象的財(cái)富。你將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)失��；
你將幸福而安逸地生活；
你將自然而然地獲得一切。

　　 楊朱大智地教導(dǎo)我們：“可在樂生，可在逸身。故善樂生者不窶，善逸身者不殖�！� （《列子•楊朱篇》）

　　 你值十億人民幣

　　 生活在二十一世紀(jì)的我們是幸運(yùn)的。我們遠(yuǎn)比楊朱生活的那個(gè)時(shí)代的人富裕。你已經(jīng)富裕得超出了想象！你不需要做任何事。

　　 問題是，大多數(shù)人并不知道他們已經(jīng)擁有如此的財(cái)富。這就好比是你從未謀面的父母那里繼承了十億元，而這筆財(cái)富正等著你去宣稱對(duì)那個(gè)秘密遺囑的所有權(quán)之后去提取。但是，你卻沒有做出任何聲明.

　　 不是因?yàn)椴淮嬖谶@十億元的財(cái)富，而是因?yàn)槟闵踔炼疾恢�道這份禮物的存在——僅僅由于你沒有被告知。

　　 現(xiàn)在你已沒有任何借口，因?yàn)槲乙呀?jīng)如此堅(jiān)定地告訴你：只要活著并保持健康，你的價(jià)值將超過那十億人民幣。你需要做的僅僅是宣稱你的所有權(quán)，那么這份財(cái)富就將歸你所有。

　　 我是如何知道的？

　　 我們可以運(yùn)用機(jī)會(huì)成本理論來找出年輕、健康的身體和心態(tài)的價(jià)值。

　　 為了找出答案，我們可以問問是否有人愿意放棄他的辛苦賺來的十億人民幣血汗錢去交換五十年青春，或使他由一名六十八歲男子變成一名十八歲的北大新生。

　　 我知道如果法律允許而且現(xiàn)實(shí)可行的話，很多人，包括我自己，都會(huì)樂于做這個(gè)交換使自己年輕50歲。從這點(diǎn)，我毫無猶疑的知道一個(gè)健康年輕的生命的價(jià)值遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過十億元人民幣。

　　 如果你對(duì)生命很貪婪，你會(huì)想從中獲取更多！好，如果你想獲得更多，而不僅僅是超乎想象的財(cái)富，或者青春、健康和美麗，那我會(huì)告訴你這個(gè)秘密。

　　 你想同時(shí)獲得物質(zhì)和精神上超乎想象的財(cái)富,如果你采納我的如下建議，那么你就能獲得，并擁有它們。

　　 同時(shí)擁有健康和富裕的秘密在于平衡物質(zhì)和精神追求。追求物質(zhì)財(cái)富而忽視精神財(cái)富，生活就會(huì)失衡;同樣，追求精神財(cái)富而忽視物質(zhì)財(cái)富，生活照樣會(huì)失衡。

　　 以上任何一種都違背常理。身體和精神都需要共同和諧發(fā)展。身體和精神都需要調(diào)節(jié)，使他們與自然和我們的造物主相和諧。

　　 因此，法則一，你確實(shí)擁有超乎想象的財(cái)富;你被賦予了這些財(cái)富。

　　 法則二，作為這個(gè)宇宙或造物主的兒女，你擁有享有這些財(cái)富的不可剝奪的權(quán)利;這個(gè)宇宙是您未曾謀面的父親。

　　 法則三 ，你不僅享有這些不可剝奪的權(quán)利，同時(shí)你也必須承擔(dān)完全的責(zé)任，讓自己的命運(yùn)“合適的實(shí)現(xiàn)”。當(dāng)然，必須確保合法而且真實(shí)體現(xiàn)你的內(nèi)心。

　　 法則四，當(dāng)你想得到某種東西，上天都會(huì)寬宏大量地為你提供許許多多的方法以實(shí)現(xiàn)你的愿望。正如俗語所說，小心你的所愿，因?yàn)榭赡芫蜁?huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。真的。我知道是真的。我所愿已實(shí)現(xiàn)了！

　　 我渴望，我決心，我實(shí)現(xiàn)！

　　 在這里，“渴望”是源自內(nèi)心的激情噴發(fā)�！皼Q心”是一貫的有力的“渴望”，它就像發(fā)自內(nèi)心的一聲長(zhǎng)嘯，渴望被人聽見，期待被人注意，需要在物質(zhì)的世界里充分展現(xiàn)。

　　 在這個(gè)世界里，每件事物都可能變成其他，而我們的任務(wù)就是要控制我們自己的轉(zhuǎn)變。

　　 如果你堅(jiān)毅地將邊界推向極限，就像魔法一樣神奇，邊界將會(huì)自動(dòng)擴(kuò)大。這就是我所說的 “合適的實(shí)現(xiàn)”的過程——“生產(chǎn)和再生產(chǎn)”新的邊界直到達(dá)到新的平衡。

　　 我渴望，所以我決心擁有財(cái)富，所以我實(shí)現(xiàn)了富裕。一個(gè)如此簡(jiǎn)單的理論，一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的秘密！只要你有致富的強(qiáng)烈意愿，那么掌管自然法則的宇宙之心就決不會(huì)拒絕你的請(qǐng)求。

　　 人類之心和宇宙之心是息息相通的。宇宙之心想讓我們所有人都變得富有和成功，這是它的本性，它充滿仁慈和善良。

　　 要致富，就是要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造財(cái)富。要變得超乎想象的富有，就要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造出超越想像許多的財(cái)富。

　　 是的，你能！只要你渴望，你決心，你就能實(shí)現(xiàn)。如果你渴望成為創(chuàng)造者，那么你就要下定決心，那么你將成為新財(cái)富的創(chuàng)造者。

　　 然而，規(guī)則是，你不能奪走別人的財(cái)富，相反，你要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造新的財(cái)富讓別人變得更富有，從而你自然也會(huì)變得超乎想象的富有。你為別人創(chuàng)造的財(cái)富越多，你也會(huì)獲得的越多。這是普世規(guī)律！

　　 記住這金科玉律。你為別人創(chuàng)造財(cái)富，他們也會(huì)為你帶來財(cái)富。這必須基于雙贏的結(jié)果。你必須始終拒絕任何零和博弈；
你贏而別人輸——這種方式獲得的財(cái)富不會(huì)持久。

　　 只有當(dāng)財(cái)富來自雙贏，來自您的誠(chéng)實(shí)和充滿愛的勞動(dòng)的時(shí)候，你的財(cái)富才會(huì)持久，因?yàn)橐�成為�?cái)富、文化、藝術(shù)或者其他任何東西的創(chuàng)造者，你必須對(duì)你從事的工作充滿熱愛。

　　 我們必須做些什么？

　　 當(dāng)禮物提供給你的時(shí)候，你必須隨時(shí)準(zhǔn)備并愿意接受這份禮物。當(dāng)您收到這份禮物的時(shí)候，你應(yīng)該真誠(chéng)地感激。

　　 您必須要感激你的生命、你的父母、你的老師、您的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、感激人類，(點(diǎn)擊此處閱讀下一頁)

　　自然和造物主，甚至是到你的屎。是的，你的屎。莊子認(rèn)為道無處不在，甚至包括他的屎。

　　 我不希望這會(huì)對(duì)任何人或他們的思想有所不敬，所以我在此借用莊子的寓言來說明他的“道”這個(gè)概念。我想將那只夢(mèng)見自己成為莊子的蝴蝶替換為莊子的屎，也就是說是莊子的屎夢(mèng)見它是莊子，而這個(gè)夢(mèng)中的莊子又夢(mèng)見他是那只蝴蝶，而夢(mèng)中的蝴蝶又夢(mèng)見它是莊子的屎。這樣就有了一個(gè)完整的循環(huán)。換句話說，夢(mèng)境和現(xiàn)實(shí)在不同的維度里面是相互交織的

　　 這個(gè)重要的原理可以很好地說明我的觀點(diǎn)：如果你——不管“你”是誰，——如果你能夢(mèng)想和渴望某種東西，那么宇宙之心就會(huì)滿足你的愿望 .

　　 你要做的就是，當(dāng)這些禮物在沒有月光、伸手不見五指的夜晚突然毫無征兆的被扔進(jìn)你的垃圾箱的時(shí)候，你要時(shí)刻緊跟著、時(shí)刻做好準(zhǔn)備、愿意并且能夠接受這些禮物。

　　 因此，你必須時(shí)刻關(guān)注著你所追求的機(jī)會(huì)。當(dāng)它來臨的時(shí)候，因?yàn)槟阋呀?jīng)做好準(zhǔn)備并付諸實(shí)踐，你就能看到它的到來，并能夠從半空中抓住它。

　　 隨后你必須緊緊跟隨著它達(dá)到成功的終點(diǎn)，并發(fā)揮它全部的潛能——直到你和你生命的盡頭。然后你輕輕的閉上你的雙眼，滿意地微笑著去見你的造物主，并對(duì)他說：“上帝，我在這兒。我回來了。”

　　 心存感激

　　 你已經(jīng)獲得如此之多，你至少應(yīng)該覺得非常感激。不論何種原因，當(dāng)你不再懷有感激之心，代之以對(duì)自己能力和權(quán)力的傲慢之態(tài)，那么，這份禮物最終將不再奔你而去.

　　 另一方面，如果你不斷感激新獲得的財(cái)富，你就會(huì)覺得一切都是如此甜美！你會(huì)覺得你是如此幸運(yùn)。你會(huì)為自己感到高興，因?yàn)槟愫退�人和諧相處，共同生活在一個(gè)你幫助創(chuàng)造的雙贏的世界里。他人很快樂;你也會(huì)很快樂。他人會(huì)使你幸福;因此你也會(huì)繼續(xù)歡樂和諧地與他人共處。

　　 生命的意義

　　 這個(gè)問題在于，當(dāng)你已經(jīng)獲得超出想象的財(cái)富之后，然后該做什么呢？你生命的意義何在？”

　　 正如我去年在北大發(fā)表的“追尋生命的意義”的演講中闡述的：當(dāng)你和你愛的人以及人類分享你的思想和財(cái)富時(shí)，你的生命將會(huì)變得意義非凡。在你的能力范圍內(nèi)，和他人分享越多，你也會(huì)覺得越滿足。

　　 如果你決定要實(shí)現(xiàn)你心中的渴望，你必須現(xiàn)在就行動(dòng)。對(duì)嗎？你必須現(xiàn)在就開足你的創(chuàng)造引擎，現(xiàn)在就行動(dòng)。就在這一刻，而不是稍后，更不是明天。

　　 去創(chuàng)造財(cái)富，去獲取所有你想獲得的財(cái)富，我保證你們所有人都能成功，毫無例外！你會(huì)獲得超越想象的財(cái)富，但是請(qǐng)不要忘記，要享受生命長(zhǎng)河沿岸的多彩生活！

　　 總之，你們都非常特別。我特地為你們寫了一首詩(shī)，希望你們喜歡。全詩(shī)如下：

　　 蝴蝶夢(mèng)！

　　 怦然清醒！

　　 釋然，追逐財(cái)富的腳步不需匆匆

　　 那些我渴望的香甜的夢(mèng)、醉人的花和甜蜜的檸檬

　　 一直縈繞我心田

　　 那些甜美的夢(mèng)啊，我日夜思量著你

　　 呼，冬日的寒風(fēng)把噩夢(mèng)驅(qū)散

　　 天堂吹來仲夏夜和煦的微風(fēng)

　　 吹拂著我香甜的夢(mèng)

　　 無私的陽光賜福萬物的生命

　　 我別無索求

　　 兒時(shí)渴求的財(cái)富我都已全然擁有

　　 清醒！甜美的漿果和蜜糖正待我享受。

　　 楊朱“六感”于我心悠悠；

　　 無須自擾

　　 我與普生分享富足，微笑獻(xiàn)出我的所有；

　　 因?yàn)榭沼腥f貫不是富有

　　 心靈的充盈才能詮釋富足

　　 莊子夢(mèng)蝶，拍翅翩翩，河岸芳菲，叢中起舞。

　　 生而自由，

　　 活而自由，

　　 飛吧，飛吧，我美麗的蝴蝶，

　　 給你我甜美的漿果和蜜糖

　　 飛吧，飛吧，飛向你心馳神往的地方

　　 多么美麗的夢(mèng)！

　　In Search of Riches Beyond Belief

　　 By Leo KoGuan

　　 31st May 2008

　　 Who wants to be poor? Raise your hands! Anyone?

　　 Who wants to be rich? Raise your hands! Anyone?

　　 Who wants to be rich beyond belief?

　　 Today I want to give and share my ideas and wealth secrets with all of you.

　　 Metaphysics

　　 A French philosopher, a mathematician, scientist, lawyer and a writer, Rene" Descartes, known as "Father of Modern Philosophy"(1596-1650) doubted everything and found that his doubts resided in his thoughts; and because he couldn"t doubt that his doubts did not exist, therefore his thoughts existed and because he couldn"t be separated from his thoughts, and therefore he existed.

　　 Hence he declared: "I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am." He doubted the existence of external world, but he assumed that there is a permanent and unchanged reality of mind or God.

　　 On the other hand Parmenides, a Greek philosopher (Elea, 510 BC), believed in oneness of body-mind entity. He made it clear that if we perceive the world around us is changing, it is because we are deceived by our own perceptions.

　　 Actually our world is forever unchanged and has always existed the same way and will continue to exist that way for eternity.

　　 In a way, Kongfuzi (551-479 BC) has this similar metaphysical assumption in his rule of "li" and his concept of "ren" or humanity: unchanging principle and forever true. It is more or less a static view of the world.

　　 In science, Newton offered this mechanical view of the Universe. When there is a known cause, you will know with certainty its effect, like the Moon orbiting around the Earth.

　　 Whereas, Einstein"s theory of relativity is not mechanical but there is certainty in space-time in "here" and "there", the space-time may "curve" this way and that way at a precise velocity "here" and "there".

　　 So according to Einstein the world is orderly and mathematically as precise as his famous formula, E=mc2. It works beautifully in the macro world.

　　 Whereas, the Quantum physics rules in particle world, a particle seems to us to behave strangely, and randomly. It sometimes acts like a particle and sometimes like a wave. It seems to have telepathic powers and can be in existence in separate locations at anywhere in the universe simultaneously.

　　 Even though, Einstein was one of the founders of the Quantum theory, he thought it was just plain wrong and detested the uncertainty effect of the theory, in which he wrote to Niels Bohr (1922 Nobel Prize in physics) expressing his view on the Universe: "God does not play dice with the Universe."

　　 Niels Bohr then coolly retorted: "Einstein, stop telling God what to do with his dice." Another physicist, Stephen Hawking further commented: "Not only does God play dice with the Universe, he throws the dice where we cannot see them!"

　　 Heraclitus (Ephesus, 535 BC), who lived around the same area and time as Parmenides, concluded the opposite of Parmenides that we can trust our senses and our senses tell us that everything is in flux in eternity.

　　 Nothing permanently "is". Change is the law of life and of the Universe and we can"t escape from its grip.(點(diǎn)擊此處閱讀下一頁)

　　 Interestingly, the Book of Changes attributed to Fuxi (2852- 2737 BC) as the Yi Jing"s creator, the first of the mythical Chinese Three Sovereigns whose teachings were similar to those of Heraclitus in that: Change means “endless production and reproduction” and Change is the only constant in the Universe.

　　 The great Zhuangzi (369-286 BC) famously elaborated the concept of Dao: "Heaven, Earth and I come into being together, and all things and I are one." (On the equality of things). In a way, he said that he and Dao were born together and were one.

　　 I am more inclined towards the metaphysics of Yi Jing of Fuxi, Daoism of Lao-Zhuangzi and the philosophy of Yang Zhu (370-319 BC). I think all of them have similar concept of metaphysics and philosophy with that of Heraclitus, and are consistent with the theory of Quantum physics in that "everything is in flux."

　　 I believe in the unity of essence and forms; substance and functions; and the named and the nameless. In other words, everything is only a manifestation of the essence. The manifestation of the "WILL" of that substances in function.

　　 Mao made a brilliant idea following similar concept of Quantum physics that through his dialectical materialism method, one can create unlimited knowledge out of nothingness as prescribed in his article "On Practice" (1937): "To discover truth through practice, and through practice to verify and develop truth... Practice, knowledge, more practice, more knowledge; the cyclical repetition of this pattern to infinity..."

　　 This was also echoed by Deng"s dictum: "Free our mind and seek truth from facts." He recognized that the truth can be found only if one is having a state of mind that is free from the baggage of the preconceived outcome. And one has to have an open mind to new ideas and knowledge so that the truth can be discovered and real advancement can be made scientifically.

　　 I believe that everything is becoming of something else. Nothing is permanent. We live in the Universe that follows the principle that thought precedes matter. All particles contain that "thought" information and all particles are interconnected in the web of information network. That is why particles seem to acquire telepathic connection in a web of cosmic dances in everything and everywhere in our Universe.

　　 Who are we?

　　 I believe we came from the irrepressible little thing born out of the Big Bang started about 13.7 billion years ago. Billions years ago, our ancestors gambled and took chance with life!

　　 They overcame the oppressive rule of entropy, which rules that all things and organizations will eventually disintegrate or evolve from order to disorder. To cheat death, they invented the anti-entropy transformer. They invented life! They were inventors.

　　 For a chance of living, they were willing to die! The twin of life was death and they came in pair. They were willing to take chances with life. So they invented sex! The dice was thrown out and they took the chance! They were risk-takers. And they still live within us in our genes, hence, we are inventors and risk takers.

　　 What is success?

　　 I think success is a process of overcoming difficulty in life, overcoming the power of entropy. I believe you fail only when you die. You also fail when you are physically very sick and can"t do much in life.

　　 The law of entropy overwhelms you. Disorder is the order of the day. Chaos reins. The idea that “Failure is the mother of success” is a good concept, but not the best one.

　　 The best one is: “There is no such thing as failure; success is just being alive and healthy and as such you are already rich beyond belief.

　　 Life is magical. Life is a miracle. Life has the ability to overcome the oppressive law of death, or at least temporarily. Our possibility to live in this Universe is close to zero. We live because as Anthropic Principle postulates that our Universe seems to be designed to fit our existence. Hence,

　　 I think Yang Zhu got it right when he advised us to take care of our body, for our body is our temple, for our life-force can only reside there. (Weiwo). He said a healthy life is too short to waste and we must grab any drop of joy and happiness that comes our way. To act this way is morally good, and a Must. For one has the right to live to the fullest that he is capable of achieving.

　　 He summarized his philosophy by advocating the cultivation of our six senses; to enjoy ourselves and celebrate our life. He said: "Allow the ear to hear what it likes, the eye to see what it likes, the nose to smell what it likes, the mouth to say what it likes, the body to enjoy the comforts it likes to have, and the mind to do what it likes." (Yang Zhu, the art of life)

　　 So in the end, there is only one rule: that is to follow your heart desire and you will never fail.(點(diǎn)擊此處閱讀下一頁)

　　 And you just forget all other rules which you have mastered.

　　 When you master Yang Zhu"s advice, you will never be poor all of your life and you will be rich beyond belief; you will never fail and you will be happy and be at ease with life. Everything will come to you naturally.

　　 Yang Zhu wisely counseled us: "Enjoy life and take one"s ease, for those who know how to enjoy life are not poor, and he that lives at ease requires no riches." (Yang Zhu, the ideal life)

　　 You are worth 1 billion RMB.

　　 I think we are lucky to live in the 21st century. We are eons richer than those people who lived during Yang Zhu"s era. You are already rich beyond belief! You don"t need to do anything.

　　 The problem is that most people don"t know they are rich beyond belief. It is like you have inherited one billion RMB from your unknown parents. It is waiting for you to claim in their secret will. But no claim is made by you. Not because there is no gift of one billion RMB for you, but rather you don"t know the gift existed, simply because you are not told.

　　 Now you have no excuse; I am telling you loud and clear that simply by living and being healthy, you are worth more than one billion RMB. What you need to do is to posit your claim and the gift is yours.

　　 How do I know?

　　 We can apply the opportunity cost theory to find out the value of youth, healthy body and mind. To find out, we can ask if anybody is willing to give up his hard earned money one billion RMB in exchange for, say 50 years younger. Or from a 68 year old man to become a 18 year old freshman at Beida.

　　 I know many, including myself, would take up this exchange of one billion RMB for 50 years of youth if it is legally offered and is true. From this, I knew beyond reasonable doubts that a healthy young life is worth more than one billion RMB.

　　 If you are greedy for life; and you want more out of it! Ok, in case you want MORE than just rich beyond belief or more than just being young, healthy and beautiful, I will tell you the secret. You want to be rich both materially and spiritually beyond belief. And you can, and will have it, if you follow my advice below.

　　 To be both healthy and wealthy the secret is to balance between material and spiritual possession. To pursue material rich and forget spiritual rich, life is imbalanced; similarly, to pursue spiritual rich and neglecting material rich, life is also imbalanced.

　　 Either condition is against nature. Body and mind both need to be developed together in harmony. Physical and mental strength are needed to tune in, to be harmonious with nature, and with your creator.

　　 So Rule One, you indeed are rich beyond belief; you are allowed and entitled to this richness;

　　 Two, as sons and daughters of this Universe or your creator; you have the inalienable rights to the riches of this Universe; this Universe is your unknown father.

　　 Three, not only you have the inalienable rights but also a duty to fully materialize your "becoming-actualization" as you see it fit, as permitted by law and as a being manifested in you;

　　 Four, when you have a desire of something, Heaven would graciously also provide you the means to accomplish this desire. Be careful what you wish for, as a saying goes, you may get it. It is really true. I know this is true. It happened to me!

　　 I desire, thus I determine, thus I become!

　　 Desire here means outpouring passion within our souls. Determination is the consistent powerful desire, like a loud cry-out from within, wanting to be heard, to be noticed, and to be manifested in the physical realm.

　　 Everything in this universe is becoming of something else. It is our task to control the outcome of our being. If you persistently determine to push boundary to its limits, strangely like magic, the boundary then expand automatically. This is what I call a “becoming-actualization” process that “produces and reproduces” new boundary till a new stable equilibrium is reached.

　　 I desire, thus I determine to be rich, thus I become rich. A simple theory. A simple secret. You just need to ask the permission to be rich and no request has ever been refused by the universal mind that controls the universal law. Your mind is connected to this universal mind. The universal mind wants you all to be rich and successful. It is its nature of goodness and kindness.

　　 To be rich is to create wealth. To be rich beyond belief is to create wealth beyond belief. Yes you can. You desire, thus you determine, thus you become. You desire to be the creator; thus you determine to be one; thus you shall be the creator of new wealth. However, the rule is that you don"t take away wealth from others, but rather you create new wealth to make others richer and you will automatically become rich beyond belief.(點(diǎn)擊此處閱讀下一頁)

　　 The more you create wealth for others, the more wealth you make. This is the universal law! Remember the golden rule. You create wealth for others and they will create wealth for you. It must be based on a win-win outcome. You must always refuse a win-lose result; you win and other lose. The wealth created in this way will not last. A lasting outcome is only when the riches are derived from win-win outcomes, from your honest labor of love. For you must love what you do to be a creator of wealth, culture, arts, and anything.

　　 What do we have to do?

　　 You must be prepared, be ready and be willing to accept this gift when this gift is offered to you. When you receive this gift, you must feel genuinely grateful. You must be grateful to life, your friends, your teachers, your parents, your political leaders, to humanity, to nature, to your creator, and even to your shit. Yes, your shit. Zhuangzi thinks Dao is everywhere and in everything.

　　 Without being crude and disrespectful to anyone and to anyone"s belief, I wanted to use Zhuangzi"s allegory to illustrate his concept of Dao. So if it were his shit that dreamed it were Zhuangzi and the dreamed Zhuangzi then dreamed he were the butterfly, and the dreamed butterfly in turn dreamed it were Zhuangzi’s shit. So it comes to a full circle. In other words, dream and reality are intertwined in different realities and dimensions. This is an important principle to illustrate my idea clearly that, no matter who you are, if you can dream and desire of something, the universal mind shall grant you your wish.

　　 It is left to you to follow up, to be prepared, to be ready, to be willing, and to be able to receive this gift. Without notice, it is suddenly thrown into your garbage can in the middle of moonless, dark night.

　　 Hence you must always be on the look-out, for this specific opportunity that you seek. When it comes, because you are well prepared and well practiced, you shall be able to see it coming, and grab it in mid-air. You must follow it up to its successful conclusion and to its full potential till you and your life-force gives out. You turn the light off and meet your creator and smilingly and contently say: "God, I am here. I am back!"

　　 Be grateful.

　　 So much has been given to you, the least you can do is to feel extremely grateful. And for whatever reason, you are feel no longer grateful and you become arrogant with your own ability and power, then the gift will eventually stop flowing.

　　 On the other hand, if you are grateful continually to your newly found riches, you will feel so sweet! You will feel you are so blessed, which you are. You will feel happy for who you are, to be in harmony with others in a win-win world that you help create. Others are happy; you are happy. Others will make sure you are happy; so you continue to be joyful harmoniously with everyone.

　　 Meaning of life.

　　 The question is after you have become rich beyond belief then what? What is the meaning of your life? As I said in my speech "In search of a meaning of life" here last year: "Life has meaning when you give and share your ideas and your wealth to the ones you love and to humanity. The more you give and share within your own means, the more fulfillment and satisfaction you shall receive."

　　 To determine to become who you want to be, you must act now. Dui ma? You must start your creative engine right now; act now, and now means now, this moment, not later, not tomorrow. Go and create wealth and get all the riches you want and I guarantee you all, with no exception! All riches beyond belief shall be yours and don"t forget you must have fun along that "river bank" of life!

　　 In summary, you are all so special hence I wrote a poem just for you and I hope you will like it. It reads like this:

　　 Butterfly dream!

　　 Startled I awaken!

　　 Relieved, the longing for riches is no longer pressing;

　　 Sweet dream, sweet flower and sweet lemon that I desire resides in me all along;

　　 Day and night I dream of thee ...puff... the nightmare gone blown away by the fierce cold winter wind;

　　 In its place... a sweet dream appears, fanned by the warm breeze of mid- summer night sent by the Heaven;

　　 The selfless sun shines brightly, giving life to all... I search for thee no more;

　　 The riches I longed for since childhood has been in my possession all along.

　　 Awaken!

　　 Sweet berries and honey are for me to enjoy.

　　 Yang Zhu"s six senses are flowering in my essence;

　　 Worry free

　　 I share the abundance to all;

　　 Smile I give thee what I have;

　　 For riches are not in wealth but in our mind.

　　 Zhuangzi"s dreamed butterfly flying up and down in and out, along and among the fragrant colorful flowers at the river bank.

　　 Born free,

　　 Care free,

　　 Fly fly away my beautiful butterfly;

　　 I give thee my sweet berries and honey to enjoy;

　　 Go go to where your heart’s desire leads you;

　　 Sweet dream!
