Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? Are you enjoying your weekend?
Days ago, I wrote a letter names ¡°Management is everywhere¡±. Recently, the suffering of the sickness has helped me to have some new understanding on this topic.
That is:
-- Life needs to be managed and health needs to be managed, too. The health problem that we are suffering usually comes from the bad health management.
When I am writing here, I could not help smiling with shame to myself. I am just the one who has paid too much attention to the business management and art learning management and has lost sight of my own health management so that right now, I have to face the bad situation that a lot of gates have opened for me in the fields of business and arts, I have had no a good health to work on them.
Anyway, since the problem has happened already, it is useless to complain at all. The key is to find a way to correct the mistake and to resolve the problem.
Therefore, except seeing doctors, I have started my own ¡° Self - Help¡± and I have done something new . :- )
-- After working and living according to the Confucianism theory of Confucius and Mencius as my ¡°Behavior and Ethic Manual¡± for whole of my first half life, I am now re-learning something from Lao Zi and Taoism as my ¡° Health Manual ¡±. :- )
About the latter, my understanding is that we have to live following the order of nature, includes two hands, one is to live according to the order of the great nature, to sleep in the night and to get up in the morning, to wear in the warmth in the winter and to wear in the thin in the summer¡ the other hand, we have to respect and to live according to our own bodies¡¯ order of nature, to eat something suitable at a suitable time, to have a rest at the time that we should rest¡ In case we violate the orders of the natures, we will be in the sickness.
The pain that I am suffering is just the result that I often thought that I had a very good healthy foundation, there would not be any problem to work until midnight or early morning, or to work overtime with an empty stomach often. Once and once, time and time. Before I realized that I have violated the orders of natures, time has past for too long and the health problem has happened.
After understanding this, I felt much easier. Just like a Chinese idiom says ¡°Wang Yang Bu Lao, Wei Wei Wan Ye¡± ? It is not too later to fix the fence after having lost some sheep...
So, according to the theory of Lao Zi and Taoism, I have also done the other things below:
-- Re-learn the acupuncture points and to know more about my own body.
It is shame that I have almost forgotten all of the points that I had learned when I was just 15 or 16 years old, not for my memory, but for I did not want to spend time on it.
So, from this meaning, my current bad health is not a bad thing, it is alarming and reminding me to pay more attention to be my own manager of the health management.
-- Except following almost every doctor¡¯ s advice to have rest as much as possible, I have learned 8 exercise styles that were created by Lao Zi and 3 another exercises from Yi Jing. Every day three times, every time 20 minutes.
-- After relying on my clean lady ? Mrs. He for about 10 years, I have re-started to work on my own housework by myself, try to have some necessary physical labor¡ : -)
I am not sure what will happen in the future. I am sure that all of these exercise will certainly help me. At least, they will not have any negative affect, since it is trying to activate some special points via some special exercises to improve the potential ability and power to beat the bad elements in my body.
The other gain is:
-- When I was thinking of how to manage my own health, I have also thought of the management of the company. I do think that a company¡¯s health development is similar as a person¡¯s health management. If we can often make some self-examination on the ¡°Health¡± of the company, we will find the potential or possible risk and to beat it in the bud situation, to ensure the company to be developed healthily.
Management is everywhere, not only in the business and art learning fields, but also, it is in our daily life and health fields. The problem is whether we have realized it and to manage our health and life proactively.
From this meaning, everyone can be his or her own manager. The health level of a person means this person¡¯s health management level. :- )
How do you think of my idea? Do you agree with me? Do you have any experience or lesson on your health and life management?
