In today’s diary I want to share my experience in taking a bath through cold water in winter.
I think everybody loves staying in their comfort zone. I also agree with you that it is a wonderful time staying in one’s comfort zone like having a beauty sleep in bed in a bitter cold Sunday morning or taking a worm water shower. But my friends how about taking a ice water bath in a bitter cold winter day. If you do that you may know how hard it is. That is a different situation.
I love facing challenges sometimes, like taking a cold water shower in winter or what. Winter is here now especially these days some of my co-workers often be late for the weather. They can not resist the temptation of the warm quilt in the morning.
Last night when I got home it was 21:00. it’s a cold day and the temperature is around 4℃.in south china like Guangdong province we can say it is really cold.
It’s time to do the laundry and take a shower. Thinking that being in cold water is not so good I hesitate for a while. “You should overcome yourself” I said to my own. And then I went straight to the washing room.
I turned on the hose and watered my body in the cold water. When the water went through from my head to my feed it felt like a knife cut through my skin. I couldn’t stand the pain and shout out “oh my god!” all I had to do right now is to rub the lotion all over my body. “Hurry” I said. I put the hose on my head and the water went everywhere around my body but this time I did not feel painful again. I felt I was so cool and I like those feelings.
Maybe it’s painful but when I overcome I feel so good. You should give it a try, after all what’s there to lose!

As if it’s not enough that most of the major European economies are struggling with massive debt, here we have the world’s second biggest economy announcing that things can only get worse if austerity measures aren’t introduced right away.
To European ears, this all sounds mightily familiar. And yet, out of all this clamour, what conclusions have been drawn from what has been widespread and collective economic mismanagement?
To say this could be the end of Capitalism probably has too much of a Doomsday ring about it. On the other hand, one doesn’t have to be an economics expert to see that austerity measures being pursued throughout the world will surely have a recessionary effect.
Taking spending power out of people’s pockets means they have less to spend on goods and services; businesses and business turnover will suffer; tax revenues will fall and unemployment payments rise.
So why are so many countries facing such unprecedented levels of fiscal debt? Could no-one in any of these countries (G7 or G20 economies) see what was happening?
Surely these horrendous figures haven’t ballooned overnight. What have the armies of economists and civil servants employed by governments been doing all these years? Was it too politically dangerous for parties in power to say to people: “Times are good, but it will all end in tears if taxes don’t go up and state services are reined in.”
Can you imagine a scenario in, say, 2005 when G7 governments had made announcements along these lines. The world would have thought our political masters had gone mad. And what of the knock-on effects this would have had on that fragile commodity the markets call ‘confidence’?
It turns out that successive Japanese governments have been borrowing heavily since their economic bubble burst 20 years ago. Ongoing deficits have been shored up by issuing long-term government bonds which Premier Kan now says is ‘unsustainable’. What is so surprising about this is that Mr Kan was Japan’s Finance Minister before recently assuming his Prime Ministerial role.
Is it the case that government civil servants in Japan have been too cowed by their political leaders to raise objections? And how can civil servants object to anything when they don’t have the power of a political mandate?
The same thing has been happening in the UK. The new government has apparently been “aghast” at the previous incumbent’s profligacy in its dying days. This wasn’t some kind of ‘scorched earth’ policy by a Labour government that knew its days were numbered. It was more like a collective complacency about what was going on at all levels of economic life and a fear among bureaucrats to register their dissent.
Now we have the unedifying spectacle of a new UK government preparing new economic forecasts by the same advisory teams who’d worked for Labour.
To go back to Japan and all the other countries in financial turmoil. The problem seems to be not a failure of Capitalism as a philosophy, but more a failure of the reporting mechanisms that support governments with their collection and interpretation of economic data.
Some may also argue that the much-vaunted wealth that knowledge-based economies were supposed to deliver has been shown to have no credence. To wit, China and India with their mixed economies which are nevertheless underpinned by a strong manufacturing base.
Capitalistic market forces are still at work in these emerging powerhouses but, inadvertently, they have shown that manufacturing, engineering and aggressive international marketing are an unstoppable force more than a century since our Victorian forefathers prospered on the backs of dirt, sweat and toil.
The danger with IT businesses – and to a lesser extent bio-technology – is that they’re basically ‘service’ industries. Yes, they generate efficiency benefits, jobs and cash injections into various economies. What they should do is work more closely with manufacturing industry rather than as the introspective harbingers of a new world economic model.
Of course, multi-national corporations of all types generate massive wealth. What appears to be happening is that much of this wealth is funnelled into the pockets of shareholders and institutions which are the recipients of preferential dividends.
The shortcomings of this private sector self-interest (Capitalism) are now being felt by national governments who clearly haven’t been raising enough tax revenues to cover the public sector infrastructure that people living in western economies have come to expect.
This is a very complex subject with lots of side-shows. On the other hand, the ramifications of the economic news coming out of Japan, the UK and EU are a threat to economic and political stability.
So far, we’ve seen very few civil protests by disaffected workers forced to accept cuts in their incomes. It may be that the big ship Capitalism has been sailing off course for so long that the collision no-one thought possible is in fact just over the horizon.

The artist named his works as “Horizon Field” and he hopes they would make people ponder human beings’ existential issues.

A cash-strapped council has been criticized after it announced plans to spend nearly £40,000 of taxpayers’ money on iPads for every councilor.
Leicester City Council is preparing to issue all 54 councilors with the Apple tablet computers from next May.
Four councilors have already been given iPads, each costing around £700, as a trial.
One councilor justified the move claiming her laptop was ”heavy” making it difficult to take to several meetings a day.
Council chiefs, who are expected to axe 1,000 jobs, claim the iPads will save money.
Labor councilor Sarah Russell, who is awaiting delivery of the highest-spec 64 gigabyte model, said: ”We’re trying out the iPad to see whether it improves the way we work as councilors.
”If it does, and it can replace costly printing, then the council could potentially save £90,000 each year. I have a laptop but it is quite heavy, meaning it is awkward to take to several meetings in a day.
”It also has to be charged much more regularly than an iPad.”
Conservative group leader Ross Grant, who has one on trial, claimed the iPad made him ”more productive”.
He said: ”The iPad has made me even more productive as a councilor.
”Whenever a constituent stops me in the street I can write down and begin researching their problem immediately on the iPad, because I’m connected to the internet right around the city.
”Also when I’m in key meetings I’ve asked for council agendas to be e-mailed as PDF files to the iPad so I no longer need printed documents. This could save the council money in the long term.”
But one senior councilor said: ”As soon as we all heard that three councilors were getting iPads everyone started asking for one.
”I suppose it’ll be handy to have, but the expense is a little bit awkward at a time of cuts.”
Matthew Sinclair, Research Director at the Taxpayers’ Alliance, said: “It is right that the council should try to avoid wasting paper where they can.
“But incredible that they think that means providing councilors with flash new iPads at a cost of tens of thousands of pounds.
“A small, affordable laptop would do the same job, though it certainly wouldn’t be as exciting a perk for the councilors.
“With ordinary taxpayers struggling after a decade in which council tax has nearly doubled and with Japan’s health minister on Tuesday called for a nationwide check on the whereabouts of elderly residents in response to a media frenzy over several missing centenarians.
Revelations last week that police had found the mummified remains of a man thought to have been Tokyo’s oldest resident at 111 but actually dead for 30 years shocked a country facing the challenge of a rapidly aging population.
Local authorities this week said a woman aged 113, designated Tokyo’s oldest person, was not in fact living at the apartment where she was registered. That disclosure became one of Japan’s top news stories, raising questions about living standards of the elderly.
“It is important for authorities to grasp the reality of where and how old people are living,” Health Minister Akira Nagatsuma told reporters.
More reports of missing centenarians this week showed that their whereabouts were unknown or their family members were unaware of what had happened to them.
The missing elderly people could cast doubt on the exact number of centenarians in Japan, a figure that has been rising for decades.
Officially, Japan has 40,399 people aged 100 or older, including 4,800 in Tokyo, according to an annual health ministry report last year marking the Sept. 21 holiday for the elderly.
Health and Welfare Minister Akira Nagatsuma urged officials to find a better way to monitor the elderly.
“Many people have doubts whether the government properly keeps track of senior citizens’ whereabouts,” he said. “It is important for public offices to check up on them — where and how they are — and follow through all the way.”
But local officials say it is hard to keep track because families are often reluctant to receive official visits.
In the case of the mummified man, police are investigating his family members for possible fraud after money was withdrawn from the bank account of the deceased, who had been receiving a pension, according to media satellite direct review reports. grants from central government likely to be under pressure more needs to be done to ensure spending is focused on priority services and these kinds of wasteful projects are cut out. If councilors want an iPad they can buy one themselves.”
