The Well-Grounded Java Developer

"Uang memang bisa membeli semua hal,tetapi tidak selamanya mampu membeli obat untuk sebuah kesepian dan kebahagiaan."「金錢或許能買到一切，卻未必，能買來治癒孤獨與幸福的解藥。」這是一個從天母高級住宅區展開，卻跨越五千公里航程抵達印尼爪哇農村的故事。莉雅，一名來自印尼的年輕女孩，為了改善家計來到臺灣。她的任務是照顧「阿公」――一位住在天母豪宅、物質富足卻靈魂乾枯的老人。阿公因為中風無法言語，在兒女忙碌的日常裡，他成了一座沈默的孤島。本只是為了賺取薪酬而來的莉雅，在日復一日的餵食、協助復健、推輪椅散步中，看見了阿公沈默背後的哀傷。她對阿公說話，唱家鄉的歌給他聽；而阿公也用眼神回應互動。本書由「移民工文學獎」獲獎短篇擴寫而成，以最真摯、最貼近照護現場的視角，記錄下這段「借來的」親人情緣。當最後離別的時刻來臨，這場孤獨的練習，讓彼此都學會了如何告別。金錢或許能買下世間萬物，卻買不到一帖治癒孤獨的藥，也買不回錯過的幸福。

A hilarious picture book about an endearing little crank who thinks the museum is absolutely awful . . . or is it actually awesome? Art can be a lot of things--wondrous, inspiring, transformative . . . but mostly it's boring! And visiting an art museum? Double boring! Come along with a curmudgeonly young boy--who's more interested in finger painting his cat than "admiring art"--as he's begrudgingly taken to the local museum by his well-meaning mother. Seriously, what's so great about scribbles and squares and dots? OK, sure, that portrait made of cubes is kind of cool. And those sculptures made of clay are pretty awesome . . . Gasp! Maybe he does like art after all?! Well, would that be so awful? Witty and informative (but never boring!), author Cassi McCreight and Xindi Yan, illustrator of the New York Times-bestselling Busy Betty series, have paired up to create a laugh-out-loud romp all about art appreciation. With nods to famous artists and art movements on every page, and back mat

Syaman Rapongan is a chronicler of his people, the Tao, an Indigenous community who live on Orchid Island near the island of Taiwan. In Eyes of the Sky, he invites readers to learn the ways of this oceanic world--and to learn to see their own worlds anew through a Tao lens. Employing oral storytelling conventions, Eyes of the Sky opens by recounting the history of the Tao, from their mythic origins to the present day. Its first chapter is narrated by a giant trevally, a fish common to the waters around Orchid Island. It then tells the stories of three generations of a single family--father, son, and grandson--exploring the transformation of Tao society through their encounters with Han-Taiwanese modernity. Syaman Rapongan paints a vivid picture of his homeland--its mountains and seas, flora and fauna, climate and ecology--as well as local culture and customs. In describing fishing practices, canoe building, and conversations with friends from his village, he illustrates the Tao's ecolo

Your main purpose must be to keep the mind clear and well balanced. Hence, do not act hastily on apparently sensational information; do not trade so heavily as to become anxious; and do not permit yourself to be influenced by your position in the market.1.你必須目標明確，頭腦冷靜，不能因一些道聽塗說的消息而莽撞行事；不要過度交易讓自己變得焦慮；更不能盲目地固執己見。2. Act on your own judgement, or else act absolutely and entirely on the judgement of another regardless of your own opinion."To many cooks spoil the broth."2.要麼依照自己的判斷行動，要麼無視自己的看法、絕對徹底地按別人的判斷行動。「人多手雜反而壞事。」3. When in doubt, keep out of the market. Delays cost less than losses.3.當心存疑慮、游移不定時，不要進行交易，延誤成本小於虧損。4. Endeavor to catch the trend of sentiment. Even if you should be temporarily against fundamental conditions, it is nevertheless unprofitable to oppose it.4.努力培養對走勢的敏感度，即使目前你還不能把握它，但這也絕不會是作無用功。5.
