happy


提起“心理治療”這個詞,很多人的腦海中會浮現出倚在長沙發上,花一小時來挖掘童年悲慘記憶的畫面。而一種與之不同的治療方法暗示,如果將關注的焦點轉向現在和將來,會讓人更快樂,更健康,建立更好的人際關系。

Robert Neubecker
這種方法被稱為“時間觀療法”(Time Perspective Therapy),其中一項內容是判斷一個人擁有以下六種不同觀念中的哪一些,這六種觀念分別是:過去積極時間觀(你喜愛自己的過去);過去消極時間觀 (你有遺憾或過去發生過不幸的事──或者你有現在被你夸大為不幸的事情);現在享受時間觀(你享受當下,喜歡犒賞自己);現在宿命時間觀(你感覺命運不受自己控制,那何必費心去控制呢?);目標導向未來時間觀(你會事先計劃,做任何決定都會權衡利弊);超驗未來時間觀(你過得很好,因為你相信獎賞是死後進天堂)。

星軌拍攝技巧 數問 -

1).數碼機因hot pixel而唔適合曝得耐...最好分開影影夠幾個鐘...咁每張間隔之間都要俾CMOS斗下氣?
有師兄 教過 分十幾張 每張 10-20min 再合成 好過 一野 暴 幾粒鐘, (菲林 令計)

2).數碼機有D人話用ISO 100、有人話用ISO 400-800好...如果用合成方法...其實係咪都係就番光害而定...定係關雜訊事?
睇天氣 , 小弟 用 o個次 用 iso 100

5).北極星仰角澳門係23度,咁香港一樣??
4季 都唔同 位置, 用星座 搵 會準確 d, e+ 係 冬季, 北極星 位置 係 獵戶座 (lei 個最易 認, 唔會 搵唔倒 ... ) 頭頂 (腰帶 致 頭頂 距離 再過 5倍左右)

附圖 係 舊年 去雲南 香格里拉 時影, 本泥想 長暴, 不過 o個晚 太涷 個人 頂唔順 要收皮 反酒店

這張是11月15日凌晨拍攝的M42獵戶座星雲, 大埔的光害較嚴重, 所以要加上IDAS V4濾鏡作長時間曝光, 分三段不同時間曝光及作Layer Masking 處理, 把動態範圍拉闊. 在月光的影下算是滿意, 希望之後可以分數晚作10小時以上的曝光並加長每一張frame 的曝光時間 (現在是5分鐘一張), 使到暗位的表現進一步改善.

有趣的是,教授說切忌養大自尊心。她發現,美國加州很多關懷青少年的機構都提倡建立自尊心(Self-Esteem),卻無助吸煙、毒品等問題。因為自尊心由「成功」養大,遇到「失敗」馬上危危乎。它的本質已有比較,要成為自尊心強的人,你就要覺得自己很特別,也比他人強。
要做到「自我關懷」,我們要接受自己會做錯,偶爾偷懶讓自己休息一下,就像對待你身邊的好友。 - http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com[..]om/realtime/supplement/20160419/55001749

As outlined by recent research, it all seems as though confidence doesn't necessarily breed success.
