🎥安定自己 安定他人- 有聲書( 英文版)
Calm Ourselves and Others
人生要在繁亂之中求安定,身心安定,即有安全;
Seek calm and stability in the midst of complexity and chaos. With a calm and stable body and mind, we will have peace and safety.
身心平安,即是幸福。自己身在幸福之中時,又能不忘他人,為他人謀福利,才是真正的積極。
To have a peaceful body and mind is to have true happiness. Positivity, in its true sense, means that even in the midst of our happiness, we still have others in mind and act for the benefit of others.
人生要在絕望之時能安心,東南西北皆我舍宅,天地萬物與我同根,還有什麼不能安心的呢?只要一息尚存,沒有什麼能使你絕望。
If we can face despair with calm, feel free and at ease wherever we are, and regard all phenomena as having the same nature as we do, then what can possibly disrupt our peace of mind? As long as we are still breathing, there is nothing that can make us lose hope.
人生要在身心的安定中求進步,在進步中求充實,在充實中知謙虛,在謙虛中接納異己。許多人在充實之後,不知道謙虛,也不能接納異己,故也不能真正的充實,有容乃大,能包容人,才是真正的積極。
In our life we should seek progress with a calm body and mind, seek fulfillment in making progress, know humility in seeking fulfillment, and accept those who are different from us with humility. Many people fail to maintain humble and accept those who are different from us once they have found fulfillment, thus missing out on the true meaning of fulfillment. Tolerance represents greatness, and one who is able to tolerate shows true positive attitude.
自己的身心安定,始能安定他人;唯有能夠安置眾生,努力於自安安人的人,才算是真正積極的人。
Only when we have a calm body and mind ourselves can we really help to calm others; only when we are able to calm and bring peace to sentient beings, making an effort to calm ourselves and others, can we be considered a truly positive person.

[Undressing the Big Verticals: Finding Disruption Strategies in Greater Southeast Asia]
Huge businesses online and offline wear a facade of dominance. In a world where software and cloud storage is cheap compared to even five years ago, these facades are just facades.
Any smart founder who can understand a niche market and its customers, can disrupt these businesses by offering a much better experience to a global set of users, simply by showing that the emperors wear no clothes.
Take a look at the first photo. Each of the eight startup companies in the first image were taken out of the listings page (literally) of online classifieds business Craigslist, depicted in the second picture. This platform's offerings became so big and varied that it suffered from entropy.
The markets tapped into by these startups are bigger than what Craigslist alone could utilize. Meaning that the gold threads Craigslist was wearing were really just a myth. As submarkets became exploitable, startup founders started picking them off.
These two images offer great insights for founders in Greater Southeast Asia, where businesses are sometimes conservatively managed, and where conglomerates and gigantic industry players operate in large local markets.
This is because the new companies do one niche thing very well dating; food; home-sharing, etc. In a mobile-use heavy market, people love these apps. The focused offerings and their ease of use make them fun to use, and they solve problems quickly and efficiently.
Why does this happen? What should founders in GSEA do with this information?
1. There are two reasons why this happens. First, big platforms trying to do everything for everyone will find it hard to manage all of the areas of the business. It's a result of organizational entropy. Consumers in a diverse global software environment will be easily distracted by new choices that big organizations cannot exploit in a fast way.
It also happens because founders using cheaper and more agile software tools can find niche areas in big platforms that they can exploit much more quickly, and offer to consumers using a better user experience. They understand the needs of the niche customer better. They find ways to make it interesting and engaging.
After all, swiping left and right on Tinder is actually really fun and an engaging use of time. Right?
2. Founders in GSEA are working in a region where it should be relatively easy to find big industry players in the market and find ways of disrupting their existing dominance.
In a region that is still relatively conservative in business compared to the rest of the world, and where large conglomerate players usually dominate the local markets, software disruption is primed and ready.
If you would like to test out exploits and software platform ideas in niche areas dominated by big industry players in a gigantic market, check out our accelerator class #20.
