HIBOR 五月插到近零 周圍問都問唔出個所以然 雖然話美元資產唔吸引大家搵路走人，但都解釋唔到 HIBOR 同美金息口差咁多嘅原因 直至有評論話咩 HIBOR 壓低咗救咗新世界融資，我先恍然大悟 雖然我仲未係好明個操作。係金管局憑空印一堆港銀出嚟，定係啲銀行「自願」降息賺少啲換取唔爆煲？

往年香港啲傳媒好鍾意報「香港樓價連續N年全球最難負擔，不吃不喝XX年才可置業」，今年嗰份報告好似都出咗，不過貌似冇傳媒提及。 大前年高峰係不吃不喝23.2年先買到樓 前年係不吃不喝18.8年先買到樓 舊年係不吃不喝16.7年先買到樓 今年係不吃不喝14.4年先買到樓 唔知係咪樓價跌到仆街(仍然全球第一)大家都冇心情吃喝所以啲傳媒唔報？

When the mind is blank, there are two possibilities. One is the interesting state where supposedly the higher mind can bring about nice things. This is why often spiritual practices cleanse the mind. But there is a more mundane possibility. Inertia. Where habits continue. Think about your routine daily commute. You don't put your mind to it. You automatically know where to go. But this is the work of habit. It isn't necessarily leading you to any exciting place, just the usual old place where you are accustomed to go to. On the other hand, think about so called "beginner's luck". There is such a thing. It's where neither habit or expectation have formed yet, and the law of large numbers have yet to kick in. It's "just a fluke" of course, but when it comes to magic we leverage them instead of dismissing them. This is one interpretation of "stay hungry, stay foolish". Always be a beginner and leverage that luck.

Within time, there is no beginning or end. To remember where you originally came from, you would have to remember all of eternity, which is impossible within time. Thus time implies amnesia. You never will remember where you came from until the end of time.
