放慢腳步，回味上一秒精彩；繼續前行，尋找下一秒奇蹟。

行走的意義在於，我終於懂得︰　　
當我們用35度角仰望別人的幸福時，　　
卻被人用65度角仰望著。

我曾在艾菲爾鐵塔下守望遠逝的夢，　　
我曾在聖心大教堂的聖歌中醒來，　　
我曾在羊角村裡排遣過憂傷，　　
我曾在威爾斯尋找過愛情，　　
我曾在維也納歌劇院中輕吟，　　
我曾在佛羅倫斯吃義大利空心麵的時候，想過自己要成為怎樣的人……　　
每一座山，每一條河，每一片海，每一個溫暖的名字。　　
行走，遇見未知的自己。

行走在，一個女人的心靈天路。

 長久以來，人們普遍認為人類的能力有種種極限，儘管已經有許多科學研究證實這種觀點的錯誤，但根深蒂固的心態仍然阻礙著我們，使我們看不見許多潛藏的可能性，未能發掘與運用自己與他人的無限潛能，於是，在面對種種壓力、變革、與不確定性下，我們感到精疲力竭、黔驢技窮。不論我們多麼勤奮努力，不論我們付出多少，仍然無法達到期盼的生活與境界。其實，還有別的方法，生命可以有另一種不同的風貌。

本書作者是神經科學先驅、同時也是知名的領導力領域專家羅伯．庫柏，敦促我們徹底改變對人類能力的觀點，他說，絕大多數人只發揮了不到百分之十的潛能。在本書中，他以淺顯易懂、容易學習的步驟教導我們如何發展與運用另外百分之九十的潛能。

......作者應用神經科學、行為心理學、工作生理學等領域的最新研究結果，提供許多鮮為人知的實用方法，教大家如何：

*提高工作時的精力，同時也擁有更多精力投入個人與家庭生活
*啟動大腦裡的“警報開關”，以消除壓力與緊張
*運用“三個不同的大腦”
*激發自己與他人的獨特才能

Claude Monet

For Monet, the act of creation was always a painful struggle. His obsession to express emotions and to transmit light effects over nature was much more intense than his contemporaries. In his words: Skills come and go... Art is always the same: a transposition of Nature that requests as much will as sensitivity. I strive and struggle against the sun... should as well paint with gold and precious stones.

(Excerpt from amazon.com)


The exhibition Claude Monet: The Spirit of Place, now being held at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum from 4 May till 11 July 2016, features some of Monet’s most emblematic artworks including the famous water lilies of “Nymphéas.”

莫內把印象派的理想，所謂「光的神祕」，將全部身心投入奉獻進去。他也是創造「組畫」的畫家，從來沒有一位畫家，將一種主題以不同時辰、不同季節、不同氣氛來表現。因為他的畫都在戶外寫生，而且尋覓到那麼多「畫點」，所以現在有所謂「莫內繪畫之旅」的導覽。

本書目錄：「光之印象．色彩的光輝」、「生活在水邊的喜悅」、「可讀時辰的畫」、「水氣．霧靄的魅力」、「在理想的風景中」、「莫內－印象派繪畫之母」、「確立印象派技法」、「維特尼的冬天」、「吉維尼終生之家」、「在南國的強光下求光色」、「連作組畫」。
