    Wu Wei in Chuang Tzu as Life-Systematic

    Get PDF
    Wu wei (non-doing) in Chuang Tzu is expressed in story-bits reflecting life-slices. They are lifesystematic, not random, not having a system. One; Chuang Tzu is a dragonfly over the pond of life, dotting the water of daily ongoing without dotting it. Two; the dotting is dot-sayings that yam life\u27s concrete bits into story-coherence. Three; Chuang Tzu dots and struts around to let others say, and life-coherenc.e appears. FoUl\u27; life-coherence is a life-family of concrete bits, a thread of many life-fibres twisted together. Five; Chu Hsi and Chuang Tzu have dot-sayings that draw readers into making systems of their own to attribute them to Chu and Chuang Tzu. System is then a verb, to let-make systems, weaving out a system beyond system. Six; this system-beyond is expressed in spontaneous flexuous story-nets to cipher comprehensive/ systematic life. Seven; being flexibly systematic expresses the inexpressible One Poem of life. All this while, Chuang Tzu has been winking at us, letting us spin out all the above. That is tacit wu wei- of living happily ever after

    In Praise of Pain

    As Buddha rightly announced all sentient beings are engulfed in the vast ocean of pain worldwide Strangely however no one in world history seems to have squarely stared at pain and deeply meditated on pain itself so important so essential to living and so internally ubiquitous This essay attempts to probe pain to harvest two surprises so incredible radically negative and radically positive First one I find pain as mine yet not mine so unbearable that I have to wail it out writ precise and clear on paper to stare at as I hug my toothache or my heartache showing my pain to my pals Then two I am astounded to find my pain thus confessed on paper exercises prudence I have found in life to spread in my life and to share with my friends socially into cosmopolitanism heartfelt Thus three after a brief comparison of joy with pain pain is seen as worthy of being praised as an unbearable dynamo of cosmic concord in human greatnes

    Simulating broken PT\cal PT-symmetric Hamiltonian systems by weak measurement

    Full text link
    By embedding a PT\cal PT-symmetric (pseudo-Hermitian) system into a large Hermitian one, we disclose the relations between PT\cal{PT}-symmetric Hamiltonians and weak measurement theory. We show that the amplification effect in weak measurement on a conventional quantum system can be used to effectively simulate a local broken PT\cal PT-symmetric Hamiltonian system, with the pre-selected state in the PT\cal PT-symmetric Hamiltonian system and its post-selected state resident in the dilated Hamiltonian system.Comment: 4 pages; with Supplemental Materia

    Joy Victorious over Life-Vicissitudes

    Get PDF
    This compact essay goes as follows. First, we probe what it means to know anything at all, and such probe surprisingly shows how “to know” is already “to joy.” The stage now set, we freely go from joys to more joys, joy as inter-loving caring, inter-love as joy of One Family, kids as joy invincible, to go to pain as supportive of joy, to wit, joy as so invincible as to be enabled and strengthened even by its “enemy,” pain, convincingly telling of how invincible joy is. Finally “coherence” rounds up this essay

    Factors of Employee’s E-Learning Effectiveness: A Multi-Level Study Based on Socio-Technical Systems Theory

    Get PDF
    Application of e-learning in enterprises provides the advantages of lower training cost, richer learning content, higher information consistency, and easier update of content. Despite the fact that enterprises have the intention to introduce e-learning, there is not a complete framework to which they can refer to ensure the benefits of e-learning for employee training or learning and understand which important factors affect employee’s e-learning effectiveness. Relative to the difficulties of introducing e-learning in management practice, the academic achievements in this aspect also seem very limited. Most the existing papers are focused on discussion and survey of e-learning in school, and very few of them are dedicated to empirical research of e-learning in corporate environment. Besides, these studies discuss e-learning only at the technical or the individual level without a comprehensive investigation into the factors affecting e-learning effectiveness with multi-level theoretic framework. This paper applies the socio-technical systems theory to review and integrate theories about employee e-learning from a macro view. To make up the insufficiency of related research, literature review and case research are conducted first. Based on the interview results, an analysis model is constructed to thoroughly explore factors affecting employee’s e-learning effectiveness. Later, through a questionnaire survey on employees’ adoption of e-learning and subsequent multi-level data analysis, hypotheses on the relationship of the influencing factors and the research model are verified. Results show that e-learning effectiveness (usefulness of e-learning, continuance intention to use, and e-learning performance) is simultaneously or alternately affected by direct or moderating factors of the technical system and the social system at the work environment level and the individual level. Compared with the existing research, this paper uses a more comprehensive system view to construct the theoretical model and empirically verify it. The results can be a reference for future researchers and managers of e-learning in enterprises
