《富者的追求》

所謂的富者,應該具備以下三個條件:


第一,時間自由。


既然提到了自由這個詞,我就先說明一下,讓大家更好理解。


據說人類的大腦會基於求生本能追尋自由。可是,這個世界沒有百分之百的自由。有鑑於百分之百的自由可能造成混亂,所以即便是自由民主主義,仍會以法律統治社會,維繫秩序。


同理可證,我說的自由也不是百分之百的自由。非要用數值表示的話,可以解釋為過半的自由。比方說,一天二十四小時當中,可自由運用的時間超過一半,也就是十二小時以上,便可說是擁有時間自由。


如果沒有時間自由, 就算再有錢,也不能稱為富者。因為你沒有時間花那些錢。這是所謂的專業領域人士很常見的特質。

換言之,賺錢的人其實沒有時間花錢,不能花錢,只是因為有錢就被稱為富者,各位不覺得哪裡奇怪嗎?


第二,資本自由(財富自由)。


討論資本自由之前,不妨先看一下生活開銷吧。生活開銷大致可分為兩種:


其一是必要支出。必要支出指的是維持生計的消費,包含食衣住行、醫療等相關費用。另一種是想要支出。想要支出是必要支出以外的其他消費,興趣、休閒活動等提高生活品質的費用皆屬於此類。


所謂的資本自由,是在沒有勞動所得的情況下,仍有餘裕維持這兩種支出。如果需要以勞動所得維持生計,視同沒有資本自由。金錢的確不是萬能。可是,倘若你能夠不花時間勞動,就買下該買的東西、做想做的事,表示你已經擁有資本自由。


第三,關係自由。


做人難免有些非自願的人際關係。舉例來說,血緣關係可說是毫無選擇、誰都無法砍斷的關係。排除這種必然的關係,其他各種可見或不可見關係的自由程度,便是判斷你是否握有關係自由的標準。


假如一個人的必要支出和想要支出等各種開銷不虞匱乏,也有充足的時間,卻無法擺脫工作這層關係,就是缺乏關係自由。這種情形多半發生在為了生存,不能離開工作崗位,擁有高額年薪的高階主管身上。


理所當然,這三種條件或多或少存在交集,像是沒有關係自由的人,往往也沒有時間自由。

在某種程度上,能自由掌控這三種條件的人才是富者。以無業遊民為例,無業遊民可謂擁有高度的時間自由與關係自由,既沒有工作的束縛,時間也很多,但他們沒有資本自由,所以不能稱為富者。


《學會切割無關緊要的關係》

學著去分辨出哪些人只是路過,會是探尋人生目標過程中很困難但卻有必要的一個部分。在一生中,我們很自然地會跟不計其數的人產生關聯。其中有些關係深刻、充滿意義,有些卻很偶然、極其短暫。但我們總想牢牢抓住所有關係,即便是不經意的交往也不放掉。而這樣就會使得我們很難真實活在當下,也沒有辦法去追求我們真正的目標與熱情所在。

那麼,究竟「分辨出哪些人只是路過」是什麼意思?其實就是指對於已經走到盡頭、不再對我們有益處的關係,要能夠看得出來。我們可能得去結束一段不再令人滿足的友誼或戀情,也有可能要讓自己疏遠那些負面、惡毒的人。

想要能夠辨別短暫的人際關係,我們需要在一件事情上對自己誠實,那就是「與他人交往,我們真正渴望或需求的是什麼」。這意味著我們願意捨棄那些不再對自己有益的關係,即便再困難、再痛苦也願意放手;這也代表著我們願意去對那些負面、有害的人設定界線,並把時間與精力放在真正有用、能夠滿足我們的關係上。

專注於跟真正要緊的人進行深入而有意義的交往,是脫離短暫關係的一個方法。也就是說,我們必須投入時間與精力在最重要的關係上,在跟這些人相處時,要認真用心。同時,這也代表著我們會斷開那些不再讓人滿足的交際,而去尋找與我們價值觀及人生目標一致的新關係。

參與活動、去追求與我們興趣和熱情相符的事物,是與短暫關係切割的另一個方法。這可能包括尋找新的嗜好與興趣,或對發展事業及個人目標展開行動。藉由專注於真正重要的事物,我們就能把志趣相投的人吸引到生活裡來,並與他們建立更加深刻、更有意義的關係。

而擺脫短暫關係,也意味著能夠去原諒,並且能從過往的衝突與負面經驗中再出發前行。這表示我們能放下恩怨,聚焦在人際關係的積極面向上。也代表著為了建立更強大重要的關係,我們願意坦誠溝通,並對我們所在乎的人誠實。

總之,與短暫的關係切割是尋找人生目標過程中困難卻必要的一環。這需要我們在「與他人交往的真正渴望和需求」上對自己誠實,並願意放下令人不滿的關係。透過專注於跟真正對我們重要的人建立深厚、有意義的情誼,以及追求符合我們真正興趣與熱情的活動和嗜好,我們才能在生活中創造出對於目標與滿足的覺知。

Kindred 就像是工作版的 Airbnb,採用會員制,申請者可以以非常低價甚至免費入住,同時也需要開放自己的住家。我覺得可以改善在自己家容易分心被打擾的問題,或是有些人就是必須擁有特定環境所建立的儀式感,才能好好專心。另外也有可能遇到其他一同入住的房客,降低獨自一人工作的孤獨感。

《Understanding Adventure Tourism》

Adventure Tourism Is the Fastest-Growing Global Niche. 


What does this mean? It means that there’s plenty of room for young experts to enter the field.  It’s not just the "guides" that the adventure tourism industry needs.  It’s everything that goes with it, from adventure tourism accommodations to trip planners, event managers, marketing and finance directors, advertising, public relations, and communications. We want to highlight that adventure tourism requires more than just guides, and various careers within adventure tourism play a big role in attracting high-value customers, supporting local economies, and encouraging sustainable practices.


Adventure tourism is defined as the movement of the people from one to another place outside their comfort zone for exploration or travel to remote areas, exotic and possibly hostile areas. Adventure tourism is a type of tourism in which tourists engage in adventure activities such as trekking, climbing, rafting, scuba diving, or the likes.

 

Adventure tourism gains much of its excitement by allowing the tourist to step outside their comfort zone. This may be from experiencing culture shock or through the performance of acts that required some degree of risk whether real or perceived. It is also about connecting with a new culture or a new landscape and being physically active at the same time. It is not only about being risky or pushing your boundaries. In fact, it is especially important to know and respect your limits while you are in an unfamiliar area.

 

Adventure travel is a leisure activity that takes place in an unusual, exotic, remote, or wilderness destination. It tends to be associated with high levels of activity by the participant, most of it outdoors. Adventure tourists expect to experience various levels of risk, excitement, and tranquillity and be personally tested. In particular, they are explorers of unspoiled, exotic parts of the planet and also seek personal challenges. The main factor distinguishing adventure tourism from all other forms of tourism is the planning and preparation involved.
