按: Do right thing 同 do thing right 字面上相差不大, 但思想上同結果可以相差很遠, 這位職員道理上係可以係医院門口見人就死都要人打左999先, 等白車車你幾步路, 跟足程序, 好!! 人人公平! 又do thing right !但如果佢尊重佢份工作, 尊重医院, 尊重病人, 尊重生命, 尊重自己, 佢一定可以同路過的医生一樣, do right thing!仲要喺度一爭對錯, 不如問自己, 如果求救的是自己家人, 女職員會否跟足程序?
(星島日報 報道)明愛醫院 「見死不救」事件引起輿論嘩然，食物及衞生局局長周一嶽 日前嚴令明愛醫院於一周內提交調查報告，據悉明愛明天將報告提交醫管局 總部，結論是因欠缺劃一指引，員工沒有打九九九及向上級尋求協助，難以判斷是否犯錯，無人要因事件受到處罰。事件死者楊德祥的兒子表示，明愛醫院調查過程中沒有接觸他了解事件，對於報告指無人犯錯，表示擬透過申請法援，為亡父討回公道。
遺屬擬申請法援討公道 本月二十日，五十六歲的運輸公司東主楊德祥心臟病 發,其子將其載至明愛醫院門前，要求職員幫忙叫醫生搶救，結果詢問處職員卻要求楊子自己打九九九，以致楊德祥失救致死。醫管局表示，明愛醫院會於本周中期或周末向醫管局提交報告，並同時會就於醫院外發生緊急事故需要醫護人員或職員應變的指引提出建議，有關建議亦會包含在報告內容中。醫管局研究後或會於稍後時間向公眾報告有關內容。
據悉，明愛醫院已初步完成調查報告，預計明天提交醫管局行政總裁蘇利民。據了解，報告顯示，明愛醫院沒有指引要求職員如何處理類似事件，詢問處女職員沒有打九九九及向上級報告，是因無標準指引可依，難以判定是該女職員犯錯。但明愛就在報告中辯稱，該女職員之後曾致電駐明愛醫院的消防處 救護組求助，而當日最終接走楊德祥去醫院的第三架救護車，正是由該救護組駛出的救護車。不過，明愛就承認該職員在事件中可以處理得更好，在人情角度上，應可以幫手打九九九，或致電急症室求救。
報告又建議，應劃一各醫院的指引，日後院外有病人求助，職員須盡力協助。 事件死者楊德祥的長子楊先生對於報告指無人犯錯，坦言難以接受。他表示，明愛在過去一周內，並沒有與其接觸了解事件，認為明愛對他的父親和家人十分不公道。他已委託立會議員陳偉業 尋求協助，坦言希望透過法律訴訟為亡父討回公道。 飽受喪父之痛的楊子，昨接受本報訪問時顯得異常疲倦，他指已安排好父親喪禮的準備工作，會按道教於下周六為其父舉行出殯儀式，而父親的遺體已完成驗屍，為訴訟作好準備。陳偉業則表示，明天會與律師團開會研究報告內容，如決定進行訴訟，楊子則會先申請法律援助。本報記者

Pretty good Stuff.
英國《金融時報》/《華爾街日報》
Verbatim:
Today I write not to gloat. Given the pain that nearly everyone is experiencing, that would be entirely inappropriate. Nor am I writing to make further predictions, as most of my forecasts in previous letters have unfolded or are in the process of unfolding. Instead, I am writing to say goodbye.
Recently, on the front page of Section C of the Wall Street Journal, a hedge fund manager who was also closing up shop (a $300 million fund), was quoted as saying, "What I have learned about the hedge fund business is that I hate it." I could not agree more with that statement. I was in this game for the money. The low hanging fruit, i.e. idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale, and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking. These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government. All of this behavior supporting the Aristocracy, only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America.
There are far too many people for me to sincerely thank for my success. However, I do not want to sound like a Hollywood actor accepting an award. The money was reward enough. Furthermore, the endless list those deserving thanks know who they are.
I will no longer manage money for other people or institutions. I have enough of my own wealth to manage. Some people, who think they have arrived at a reasonable estimate of my net worth, might be surprised that I would call it quits with such a small war chest. That is fine; I am content with my rewards. Moreover, I will let others try to amass nine, ten or eleven figure net worths. Meanwhile, their lives suck. Appointments back to back, booked solid for the next three months, they look forward to their two week vacation in January during which they will likely be glued to their Blackberries or other such devices. What is the point? ( He is right! When you got enough money to enjoy an average life with your family what's the point to waste time to making more and more? Many think that money will bring happiness and many build their happiness on money, I guarantee you will be disappointed. Just like a drug addicts, you will be satisfy for a little while afterwards you want more and more. It's an endless curse. In the end you will be the same unsatisfied and unhappy person as you were. DO NOT THROW oneself into this VICIOUS CYCLE!) They will all be forgotten in fifty years anyway. Steve Balmer, Steven Cohen, and Larry Ellison will all be forgotten. I do not understand the legacy thing. Nearly everyone will be forgotten. Give up on leaving your mark. Throw the Blackberry away and enjoy life.
So this is it. With all due respect, I am dropping out. Please do not expect any type of reply to emails or voicemails within normal time frames or at all. Andy Springer and his company will be handling the dissolution of the fund. And don't worry about my employees, they were always employed by Mr. Springer's company and only one (who has been well-rewarded) will lose his job.
I have no interest in any deals in which anyone would like me to participate. I truly do not have a strong opinion about any market right now, other than to say that things will continue to get worse for some time, probably years. I am content sitting on the sidelines and waiting. After all, sitting and waiting is how we made money from the subprime debacle. I now have time to repair my health, which was destroyed by the stress I layered onto myself over the past two years, as well as my entire life — where I had to compete for spaces in universities and graduate schools, jobs and assets under management — with those who had all the advantages (rich parents) that I did not. May meritocracy be part of a new form of government, which needs to be established.
On the issue of the U.S. Government, I would like to make a modest proposal. First, I point out the obvious flaws, whereby legislation was repeatedly brought forth to Congress over the past eight years, which would have reigned in the predatory lending practices of now mostly defunct institutions. These institutions regularly filled the coffers of both parties in return for voting down all of this legislation designed to protect the common citizen. This is an outrage, yet no one seems to know or care about it. ( No system is perfect, but it does not mean that the Capitalism and the Liberlaism are total failure. It is not the system that fails but people who runs the system failed.) Since Thomas Jefferson and Adam Smith passed, I would argue that there has been a dearth of worthy philosophers in this country, at least ones focused on improving government. Capitalism worked for two hundred years, but times change, and systems become corrupt. George Soros, a man of staggering wealth, has stated that he would like to be remembered as a philosopher. My suggestion is that this great man start and sponsor a forum for great minds to come together to create a new system of government that truly represents the common man's interest, while at the same time creating rewards great enough to attract the best and brightest minds to serve in government roles without having to rely on corruption to further their interests or lifestyles. This forum could be similar to the one used to create the operating system, Linux, which competes with Microsoft's near monopoly. I believe there is an answer, but for now the system is clearly broken.
Lastly, while I still have an audience, I would like to bring attention to an alternative food and energy source. You won't see it included in BP's, "Feel good. We are working on sustainable solutions," television commercials, nor is it mentioned in ADM's similar commercials. But hemp has been used for at least 5,000 years for cloth and food, as well as just about everything that is produced from petroleum products. Hemp is not marijuana and vice versa. Hemp is the male plant and it grows like a weed, hence the slang term. The original American flag was made of hemp fiber and our Constitution was printed on paper made of hemp. It was used as recently as World War II by the U.S. Government, and then promptly made illegal after the war was won. At a time when rhetoric is flying about becoming more self-sufficient in terms of energy, why is it illegal to grow this plant in this country? Ah, the female. The evil female plant — marijuana. It gets you high, it makes you laugh, it does not produce a hangover. Unlike alcohol, it does not result in bar fights or wife beating. So, why is this innocuous plant illegal? Is it a gateway drug? No, that would be alcohol, which is so heavily advertised in this country. My only conclusion as to why it is illegal, is that Corporate America, which owns Congress, would rather sell you Paxil, Zoloft, Xanax and other additive drugs, than allow you to grow a plant in your home without some of the profits going into their coffers. This policy is ludicrous. It has surely contributed to our dependency on foreign energy sources. Our policies have other countries literally laughing at our stupidity, most notably Canada, as well as several European nations (both Eastern and Western). You would not know this by paying attention to U.S. media sources though, as they tend not to elaborate on who is laughing at the United States this week. Please people, let's stop the rhetoric and start thinking about how we can truly become self-sufficient.
With that I say good-bye and good luck.
All the best,Andrew Lahde

Cutting the Diamond: Step 1
One of the hardest thing in the world is to change your attitude. I am trying to change, what about you?
I am trying to concentrate on every single moments. It is not easy, but I tried and I realized that I am truly existed when I lived at the present moments. Before this, I was either "lived" in my memories, or I was in imaginations. That was terrible.
I am going to continue my focus on every moments of my life. Remember, every moment is precious.
