读书

读书总没有坏处,如果有精力读得越多越好,可是如果时间有限,更建议把注意力集中在一件事情上,这样更容易获得长久而积极的影响。

读书不是一个一朝一夕就能深刻影响一个人的轻松事儿,需要长时间大量的积累。

今天修改3DPageFlip,下午一直觉得好烦,感觉就是不能静下心来想问题。到最后没办法了,强制让自己静下来,这时,没多少时间问题顺利解决。该问题可以说是困扰我一天的问题。

其实不是自己不能静下心来好好解决问题,只是自己不想,得等到万不得已时才会去做, 就像刘庸所说的那样。这时,需要去掉外界的干扰,关掉QQ,改变一下坐姿,听一首能上你安静的歌,放松,就会很快的进入状态。

 

不要总是到万不得已的时候才尝试去做。

 

这段时间总是发现自己想问题,解决问题的时候,都不会去分析问题,而是直接单刀直入想一下子解决问题,这是不理智的行为,为此,我浪费了好多时间。下次谨记!

Answer Wiki

Highly upvoted answers below make the following points:

  • Marry your best friend: If the person you’re the most comfortable with isn’t your spouse, make them! (Assuming this person is not your family member)
  • Don’t try and be a “grown up”: Always have fun (without drugs or alcohol). Mud-wrestle, sing, pillow-fight, any age.
  • Don’t stop learning: If you start coasting through life, you’re gonna lose. Always stretch your intellect.
  • Don’t always try to be original: Just tell the story or paint the canvas or whatever.
  • Focusing on “fairness” will lead to stagnation.
  • If you’re not failing, you’re doing it wrong. (It’s OK to make mistakes.)
  • Don’t try and reason with mindless, irrational people.
  • Don’t stress yourself out with news and “staying informed” too much.
  • Do something that’s not for money.
  • The key to happiness is BUILDING stuff, not GETTING stuff.
  • True love and a good marriage involve a lot of fighting, not serenity.
  • Time passes by a lot faster than you’d think. This effect accelerates with age.
  • Wealth is relatively unimportant.
  • Some things can’t be learned; they can only be experienced.
  • Figure out who you are, then ACCEPT that person, and then BE that person.
  • Don’t wait for permission. Give yourself the okay.
  • Don’t lie to yourself.
  • Forgive as much as possible. Grudges achieve little.
  • Be humble (especially to the “little” people).
  • You and you alone control how happy you allow yourself to be.
  • Find a mentor and BE a mentor.
  • Find what you like and let it kill you.
  • If you have to go to the bathroom, stop what you are doing and go. Don’t try to “hold it.”
  • You don’t have to eat everything that’s on your plate.
  • You don’t have to pick up a phone that’s ringing.
  • Flossing teeth is very important.
  • Always take action on things. People regret inaction more than action.

1. Marry your best friend.

I am truly amazed that I have the most successful marriage of all my friends — going strong after fifteen years. Most of my friends are amazed, too, because, growing up, I was the geek who couldn’t get a girlfriend. I had almost no relationships until I was in my mid twenties. I got married at 29. I’m now 45 and still deeply in love. Meanwhile, I have seen so many of my friends get divorces and/or grind their teeth through loveless, combative relationships.
What I’ve noticed about these people is that, 90% of the time, (a) they got married really young and (b) they mistakenly thought that long-term romances work best when when they’re based entirely on lust and trivial shared tastes (e.g. “We both like the same bands.”)
Sometimes, I hear people say things like, “I’ve been dating this guy for a year. We get along okay, but sometimes I think about leaving… How do I know if he’s ‘the one’?” This makes me really sad, because it’s SO obvious to me that my wife is ‘the one.’ Why? Because she’s my best friend. Whenever anything good or bad happens to me, she’s the person I want to tell! When I need advice, she’s the person I run to! When I need to laugh, she’s the person I joke around with!
If you don’t KNOW that the other person is ‘the one,’ he’s not (or she’s not). And though it SUCKS to be alone — believe me, I know. I was alone for YEARS — it’s better than settling. DON’T settle. You’ll STILL be alone. It is very possible to be alone while being in a relationship. Many people are.
(Let me be really clear about what I mean by “don’t settle.” I don’t mean “look for someone who is perfect.” No one is perfect. I mean that if you feel luke-warm about someone, he’s not the one. If the person you’re with makes you continually unhappy, she’s not the one. Don’t settle for THAT because “it beats being alone.” It doesn’t. You evolved to think it does. Your brain will continually tell you that it does. It doesn’t.)
The other sad thing I hear is “Bill is my best friend. We have so much in common. He’s always there for me. We talk for hours. I completely trust him and we have the exact same sense of humor … but … I don’t know … the spark isn’t there…”
When I hear this, I don’t say anything, because it’s none of my business, but I want to scream “GET OVER THIS ‘SPARK’ THING! STOP BELIEVING IN HOLLYWOOD VISIONS OF CATCHING SOMEONE’S EYE ACROSS A CROWDED ROOM! Jesus Christ! You found someone you connect with on SO many levels, and you’re not getting down on your knees and proposing?!? Do you think you’re going to find 30 more people like that in your life?!?”
The “spark” doesn’t last, anyway. I’m not saying that sex dies or anything. I’m just saying that incredibly exciting, new romance feeling inevitably fades. But, if you’re lucky, what comes next is much, much better. You spend years in that loving, warm place with the person you know you want to grow old with. And if you have good communication with someone, the spark can come later, even if it’s not there at first.
Lots of people seem to learn this after a long time and a lot of pain. They marry the “bad boy” or the “hot chick” instead of their best friends, because doing so is more exciting. Then those marriages — which are based on nothing — fail. Sometimes, if these people are lucky, they later marry those best friends who they should have married in the first place. If they’re unlucky, they can’t, because the best friends have moved on.
2. There’s no such thing as a “grown up,” and if you try to be one, you’ll wind up becoming a poser at best and a killjoy at worst.

First of all, if you’re waiting for that magic time when you’re finally THERE, give it up. As I ease into the middle age, I can see it will never happen. I will never have learned what I need to lean in order to be a grownup. I will never be 100% confident. I will never stop failing…
People who seem like they have it all together are either faking it or living such incredibly boring lives that they they never face any challenges.
Let me be clear that I am a responsible person. So if all “grownup” means to you is “someone who does the dishes,” then — yes — I’m a grown up. But it’s not like when I was younger, I was a child … a child … a child … a child … and then I reached some particular birthday and — BOING — I was an adult.
God, I HATE people who think it’s important to be grown up. They are no fun at all. They are the people who, if you show any enthusiasm that goes beyond what you have to do at your job, inevitably say, “Looks like someone has too much time on his hands!”
Don’t be that guy!
As you go through life — especially when you pass through your 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s — continually ask yourself this: “When was the last time I played in the mud?”
It is VITAL that you play in the mud! You MUST do this or you’ll lose your soul! I am somewhat speaking in metaphor. If you don’t like mud, that’s fine. But when did you last finger paint? When did you last get into a pillow fight with your friends (or with your spouse?) When did you last sing a loud, off-key song where all the lyrics were nonsense words? What was the last time you did something utterly POINTLESS that was great fun?
Playing Scrabble doesn’t count. (I say that as a huge Scrabble fan.) Playing tennis doesn’t count. Those activities are great, but they’re too regimented. They are too much about rules. They don’t involve CUTTING LOOSE, LETTING GO and being VULNERABLE. (By vulnerable, I mean doing stuff that may lead other people to say “Act your age!”)
Getting drunk or high doesn’t count, either. If you can only dance around in your underwear when you’ve had three (or ten) drinks, you’re doing it wrong. One of the reason drugs don’t count, is because they put you in an altered state that is disconnected from who you are when you’re not drunk or high. Your goal should be to become someone who always has a little bit of play in him — not someone who is super-stern and serious and needs chemicals to unwind.
I know that letting go this way is really, really hard for some people. If it’s hard for you, ease into it. No matter how hard it is, surely you can finger paint when you’re alone in your room! Make yourself do it until you can do it without shame — until you can let go and enjoy getting paint on your nose. You will wind up living longer and having less stress in your life.
And though you can start this in private, try to work towards doing it in the company of someone else. Play is fundamentally a social activity. You will never feel as close to another person as you will when you roll in the mud with him.
Despite the way I sound, I am a very shy person. I don’t, as a rule, go dancing in the streets. But I have a few close friends (and a really fun spouse) with whom I CAN do those things. Those friends keep me alive! I wouldn’t trade them for ten million dollars!
One last thing: if you have kids, what’s your relationship to them? Are you very much the MOM or the DAD. Do you feel like they are the KIDS and you are the GROWN UP? Or do you feel like they’re your friends and you enjoy playing on the floor with them? Of course it’s important to be the grownup for them sometimes. But see if you can ease yourself into a different kind of relationship with them? When did you and your kids last have a snowball fight?
3. Most grownups stop learning. Don’t.
I spent many years as a teacher, mostly teaching computer classes to adults. These were folks who were being forced to adopt new technologies for their jobs. They were very unhappy. They would say, “I don’t understand this stuff! I’m just not one of those computer people.”
What I gradually learned, via long discussions with many, many students from many different occupations, is that this wasn’t true at all. Their problem — though very real — had nothing to do with computers. It had to do with the fact that this was the first time they’d been ask to learn anything new in years. They would have had just as much trouble if their boss had forced them to learn how to knit, juggle or play the guitar.
Even many people we think of as smart do very few new things every day — things that stretch them. Here’s an example: I used to work for a large auction company (think Sotheby’s or Chirstie’s.) This company employed a lot of “experts.” An expert was, say, someone who had spent decades studying French ceramics. Having done a lot of studying, he can now look at a vase and instantly tell you when and where it was made, what it’s worth, and whether it’s an original or a reproduction. I am not making light of this skill. I certainly couldn’t do it.
But let’s take a look at what it involves: the expert had to spend decades cramming information into his brain. He had to get to a point where that information wasn’t just in his brain but also instantly accessible. Doing all that grunt work was an incredible feat, and the expert has good reason to be proud of what he accomplished.
But if he’s like most of us, he learned most of his knowledge in his 20s. Starting in his 30s, he began coasting. Coasting feels really good and most jobs are built to let experts coast. You know you’re coasting when you can go to work and instantly know how to fix any problem. You’re coasting when you can look at the vase and instantly know when and where it was made.
You’re coasting if all your problems at work are things like annoying co-workers and long hours. If you never (or rarely) need to do exhaustive research or work out complex problems on paper or white boards, you’re coasting.
I’m a computer programmer, which means my job is pretty intellectual, and I coast way less than a lot of people: but I STILL coast about 75% of the time. A lot of the code I write is boilerplate stuff. I’m “solving” problems that have already been solved before, and all I need to do is copy, paste and make a few tweaks.
Doctors coast a lot of the time (at least general practitioners do). They hear the same symptoms over and over again, and in most cases, they can do their jobs very well by doing mental “database searches” and regurgitating answers that worked in the past. This is also the case for non-trial lawyers.
If you’re a “smart person” like me, and if you work in an “intellectual” field, it’s humbling to ask yourself, at each point in your day, “Am I stretching my intellect? Am I coming up with a new solution? Am I facing a new problem that I’ve never faced before?” How much of the time do you do this? 10% of the time? 5% of the time? 1% of the time? How many years have gone by without you having to face a REAL intellectual challenge?
Incidentally, the jobs that we think of as intellectual tend to be the least intellectually demanding (with some exceptions, such as Mathematician and Brain Surgeon). The “dumb jobs,” such as auto-mechanic and football player tend to involve a lot of continual, on-your-feet thinking.
What’s wrong with coasting? Nothing, necessarily, if it makes you happy. But we’re moving into a time period where it’s harder to get away with it. The pace of change has quadrupled and we’re getting hit with new technologies daily.
But the bigger problem is that “if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.” You need to continually give your brain a workout or it will grow sluggish. We all know those people who have retired at 65 and then spent twenty years sitting in front of the TV. What’s sad is that we accept that people in their 80s are going to be sluggish. But that’s not a given. They don’t have to be! YOU don’t have to be. If your job isn’t challenging you, find ways to challenge yourself. 
Note: most people get frustrated when they fail. This is one of the reasons why they quit trying new things. Trying new things inevitably leads to failure. But understand that, if you’re trying anything challenging, it’s going to take you at least a month to succeed at it. A month is the MINIMUM. It’s more likely that it will take you six months.
So if you, say, try to learn the guitar but “fail” at it after a few hours, you haven’t failed. You can only fail at the guitar if you try to play it for six months and, during all that time, make no progress.
4. If you’re an artist or “creative person,” stop trying to “be original.”
Your goal should be to tell the story you’re trying to tell. (Or play the melody or fill the canvas with color or whatever.)
When I’m not programming computers, I spend my time directing plays. I run a classical theatre company. Here’s the main lesson I’ve learned over the years: if I’m directing, say, “Romeo and Juliet,” my job is to tell that story. Let’s say that, in order to make the story clear and exciting, it turns out that Juliet should be wearing a red dress in a particular scene. But I go see another production and notice the actress in that production is wearing a red dress in the scene in which I was going to put MY Juliet in a red dress!
I will feel that very human urge to make my Juliet wear a blue dress, because I don’t want to be accused of copying or “not being original.” I need to get over it. IT’S NOT ABOUT ME. IF it happens to be a case that a red dress tells the story better than a blue dress, then my Juliet NEEDS to wear a red dress. Art is best when the artists serves the art rather than the other way around.
This general rule applies to many things besides art.
5. If you focus on what’s fair and what’s unfair, you’ll stagnate.
John: Someone keeps stealing pens off my desk! Whenever I need a pen, I can’t find one!
Mary: Well, pens don’t cost very much. Why don’t you just buy a bunch of them once a month. Just think of them as perishable items that have to be replenished!
John: I shouldn’t have to do that! It’s not MY fault the pens go missing! People need to STOP stealing my pens!
Mary: Okay. What can you do to stop them from stealing your pens? Do you have a cabinet or something you can lock them in?
John: No!
Mary: Can you tell your boss? If there’s a security problem in your office, maybe he can…
John: I’ve TRIED that. He doesn’t care! He says it’s just pens. That’s not the point! It’s stealing. Stealing is WRONG!
Mary: You’re right. It IS wrong. It sucks that your boss isn’t going to do anything about it, but I guess that’s the way it is. And it seems like it’s causing you a lot of anxiety. Wouldn’t you feel better if you spent $2 on pens once a week? You could just assume they’ll get stolen and get new ones when you need them. That way, you’d know you’d always have a pen!
John: Why should I be the one who has to buy new pens?
Mary: You shouldn’t be, but you are.
John: That’s not fair!
There’s nothing wrong with striving for fairness and justice. But if that’s not possible, it’s pointless to fall into a mode where you’re constantly stressed out and throwing your hands up in disgust. The pen problem literally used to drive me crazy. Then I took Mary’s advice. The truth is, I earn enough money that buying pens a couple of times a month is no big deal. I wish people wouldn’t steal from me, but I’m just not going to worry about it. A couple of dollars a month let me check a worry off my list. THAT is money well spent!

6. If you’re not failing, you’re doing it wrong.

We need to raise our kids so that they EXPECT to fail and so that they understand that after failing they should keep going. I have finally gotten to a place where I dislike NOT failing. I am suspicious when I don’t fail. Not failing generally means I’m playing it too safe. It means I’m not growing or learning. It means I’m keeping myself from finding all sorts of solutions I could be finding. But the only way to find them is to play past failure.
7. You can’t reason with a lizard.
If someone is hysterical or angry, it’s pointless to reason with him. Don’t try. The “lizard brain” can’t use logic. Understand that you’re dealing with a cornered animal, not a calm philosopher.
8. Stop reading the newspaper.
You don’t really have to stop. If you enjoy reading it, by all means read it. But if you’re one of those people who gets deeply stressed out every time you read the paper or watch CNN, consider stopping. Why are you constantly putting yourself through this stress? Because it’s one’s duty to stay informed? Why?
Okay, I understand why. We live in a Democracy and blah-blah-blah. Fine. But you’re not required to have a life of stress. It doesn’t help you or anyone else for you to be stressed all the time.
And just KNOWING that there are starving people doesn’t help those starving people. If you have a plan of action, by all means carry it out. Otherwise, give yourself a break. If you feel terribly guilty when you’re not informed, then just give yourself a two-week break. You don’t have to stop reading the papers for life. But get out of the habit of being addicted to stress and sorrow. Your blood pressure will go down.
9. Do something that’s not for money.
Make sure there’s something pleasurable in your life that is completely disconnected with money. In our culture (in all cultures?) money comes with all kinds of baggage. Find something you like to do that will NEVER make you any money.
If you’re a waitress who longs to be a professional actress, acting in plays for free doesn’t count. It’s great, but it’s not what I’m talking about, because you’re hoping to one day quit waitressing and MAKE MONEY acting. Keep that dream alive, but find some other activity to be your non-money-pleasure. Say, “I like sketching (or whatever) and it will never, ever make me any money. And if someone offered me money to sketch, I’d turn it down, because I want one thing in my life that is forever disconnected from money.”
And it can’t be something connected to duty. Yes, you don’t get paid for raising your kids, and, yes, a lot of that job is fun. But parts of it are a duty. So it doesn’t count. Knitting counts. Playing basketball with your friends counts.
Hanging out with friends doesn’t count. It’s fun. It’s not about making money. But it’s not a specific activity. You need something that will jolt you out of the belief that most of us have — that anything you spend time and energy on MUST be about money.
10. The hour before bed is for you.
Don’t work right up until bedtime. Even if you “have to.” Take half an hour — even 20 minutes if it’s all you can spare — before you go to bed to unwind in an engrossing way. (Do this even if you’re really tired and would rather not stay up an extra 20 minutes.) By which I mean don’t just sit on the sofa with a glass of wine. If you do that, it’s too easy to start thinking and worrying about work. Spend that time reading a chapter of a fun thriller (not a “classic” that you think you “should” read) or watching an episode of a sitcom that makes you laugh.
Think of this as your duty. It will help you get your work done better the next day. It will help you get to sleep.
11. There is no such thing as highbrow and lowbrow.
Or if there is, who cares? School has bamboozled us into thinking Shakespeare is superior to “Gilligan’s Island.” As someone who directs Shakespeare plays and reads “King Lear” for fun, I’m here to tell you that the only great art is the art you love.
Life is really fucking hard. You have to deal with losing jobs, getting divorces, paying taxes and fixing the toilet. Don’t add to your troubles by telling yourself — or letting someone else tell you — that you’re a moron because you prefer beer to expensive champagne.
If something is beloved by experts, “refined people” and scholars, there probably IS something wonderful about it. If you want to spend an hour with me, I’ll explain to you why Shakespeare is wonderful and what you’ll get out of his plays if you spend some time studying them. But it’s not a requirement. You’re not in school any longer. (Or if you are, you soon won’t be). There’s no teacher waiting for you to turn in your homework.
I am NOT a better person than you because I read Shakespeare. I read Shakespeare because I enjoy it. If I read it because I “should,” I’d be a fool.
Art is primarily sensual. It can sometimes politicize people or give them intellectual ideas, but what art does best is feed you: it feeds your eyes with colors; it feeds your ears with sounds; it feeds your nerves with “what’s going to happen next????” Life is short. If “24” feeds you more than “Hamlet,” enjoy your feast!
If you feel guilty about watching “American Idol” when you “should be” watching “Masterpiece Theatre,” then agree to challenge yourself once a month. Once a month, you’ll go to a museum or watch a foreign film. The rest of the time, watch and read and listen to whatever makes you sit on the edge of your seat. Whatever makes you sing and dance.
If you’re an “intellectual” like me, take a break from the Bergman films and Shakespeare plays once in a while. Sure, sure. “American Idol” is the death of American culture or whatever. But a couple of episodes of it. It’s pretty engrossing and fun.
Get out of the habit of labeling things as high and low. There’s stuff that feeds you and stuff that doesn’t. There are acquired tastes which don’t feed you now but which might feed you in the future, once you get used to them. As soon as you get the urge to categorize one thing as “art” and the other thing as “just entertainment,” try to stop. There are different sorts of meals, and it’s great to live in a world with both caviar and Pop Tarts!

改革不能少数人得利而成本由全民承担[作者:郎咸平]

我心中一直有一个疑问——“到底什么叫做改革开放?”我一直在思考这个问题,我也想找到一个适当的场合来陈述我的想法。我在《资本主义精神和社会主义改革》一书中,以一个学者的身份来谈一谈我心目中的改革开放应该是一个什么样的思维。

有很多人说我是“反改革”,说我忽略了邓小平先生提出的“让一部分人先富起来”的道理,像这一类的批评,已经见怪不怪了。因为这类批评对我来讲,已经是司空见惯。我要请各位思考一下,你认为我们的改革开放是成功的吗?我们回头看一看,邓小平说过一句话:“先让一部分人富起来。”各位注意到没有,当时讲这句话的时候,全国老百姓是一致支持的。当时在社会主义的环境里,竟然能够喊出“让一部分人先富起来”。可是,让一部分人先富起来有什么条件呢?我想把这个条件重新定义清楚,我不希望在这个基本问题上面,我们学术界或者企业界再有任何争论,以及任何的怀疑。它的条件就是,可以让一部分人先富起来,可是其他人不能变得更贫穷,这就是原则。也就是邓小平所说的“走向共同富裕”。

今天你们可能会怀疑,这个制度有效率吗?一个注重公平,一个以公平为基本原则的制度(包括美国和欧洲)是有效率的吗?我告诉各位,我不想谈论它是不是有效率,但至少有一点可以肯定:如果你把公平放弃了的话,马克思的预言就会成为真实。这不是我个人的理解,这是西方这么多伟大的经济学家和伟大的政府政策制定人一致的结论。这种具有划时代意义的马克思主义,我们对它理解有多少?这种马克思主义化的资本主义,我们对它又了解多少?今天你翻开资本主义精神的代表著作——比如微观经济学,会发现效率改进的先决条件(帕累托改进)竟然是以公平为基础。什么是以公平为主呢?就是一部分人可以先富起来,但其他的人不能更贫穷。

这不就是社会主义化的资本主义吗?这个思维不正是邓小平所提出来的吗?但是各位请注意,邓小平讲可以让一部分人一部分地区先富起来,先富的帮助后富的,然后逐步实现共同富裕。他讲话的场合是在社会主义国家,这个社会主义国家的公平性是不允许任何人挑战的。所以,在每一个人不能变得更加贫穷的情况之下,邓小平提出来我们可以让一部分人先富起来,结果得到全国老百姓的一致支持。他这个理念不但符合马克思主义,同时也符合现代资本主义的精神。这个伟大的思维,才应该主导着我国的改革开放。

但是现在,我们走到了什么地步呢?基尼系数从当时改革开放的接近于零到现在的0.5,你们觉得我们的改革开放符合历史的发展规律吗?你们觉得我们的改革开放符合邓小平的理念吗?你们又觉得我们的改革开放符合现代的马克思主义和现代的资本主义吗?我绝对不能接受这种导致一部分人富起来而由其他人负担社会成本的改革。我在这里再次阐述一下我的观点,并把我国在这二十几年来的改革开放一条一条列出来,做一个评论。

谈谈我们的教育改革。我对政府官员和企业老总讲了这么一句话,我说:“各位来宾,你们记不记得,二十多年前你考上清华、北大的那个情景。你当然记得。你的父母含着眼泪把你送到火车站。他们买不起硬卧车票,给你买一张硬座的站票,让你站到北京上清华大学。你毕业了,功成名就之后,把你的父母接到大城市居住,而你就开始搞教育产业化的改革了,你断送了当初和你一样贫穷的农村子弟唯一脱贫致富的机会,因为学费提高的结果是他们再也念不起大学了,你怎么忍心啊?”

什么叫教育改革?这是最为荒谬的一种改革。市场化就是通过价格机能,使得供需平衡。你怎么能够把市场化的概念引入到教育里面呢?教育本身就是精英取向的供需不平衡的制度,你把市场化的概念引入教育制度里面来干什么呢?要搞供需平衡吗?到最后你要花更高的学费才能进大学。我们没有政府大规模的贷款制度来补贴穷人,如果你进行市场化,其结果是让很多的农村青年不是因为成绩不好念不起大学,而是因为没有钱念不起大学。配套的制度和措施是教育改革的先决条件。我们没有这种配套措施,你怎么敢随便把市场化的概念放在教育改革里面呢?这又是一个改革成本由全社会最为贫穷的人来承担的荒谬改革。

我们再来看看医疗改革!当一个急诊的病人送到医院去的时候,部分的医院第一句话不是“你哪里不舒服呀?”而是“你有没有保证金呀?”如果你没有,你就在走廊里等死吧!我们可能见怪不怪,可是我告诉你,在香港任何一家医院,病人看急诊是免费的。各位知道香港老百姓为什么愿意出这笔钱吗?因为这是对人性、对弱势群体最起码的关怀。我们这里有吗?我还要告诉各位同学,你到美国看病是什么情况。美国的法律规定,必须先给你治病,治完病之后再向你收钱,如果钱不够,可以分期付款。这是对于弱者的关怀与情怀!可是我们今天有吗?当然我承认政府在这方面也在努力做好,例如我们第18次调低药品的费用。但是问题不在这里,是在一个没有法治化的游戏规则之下,你控制不住收费的标准,尤其是控制不住民营医院的收费标准。

在美国,看病的保险不是每一个美国人都有的。在美国相当多的穷人是没有保险的。保险需要一年几千美元。综观美国、欧洲、亚洲,几乎没有哪一个国家的医疗改革是成功的。既然医疗改革是这么的艰难,医疗改革的问题是这么的多,我们怎么敢这么轻意把市场化的概念强加在医改上呢!这种改革还不如不改,因为你太不了解国际大势了,你把市场化看得太神圣了。最后我们发现,很多民营企业家打着医改市场化的招牌大赚利润,而成本却由社会上的病人来承担,这又是一个改革利益属于少数人,而改革成本由社会大众承担的错误改革。

这就是我们的医疗改革。那么我们其他的改革呢?比如说“股改”。什么叫做“股改”,我们到底清不清楚“股改”的概念?让我们回头看一下英国这个“邪恶的帝国主义”怎么做“股改”的!英国有很多的国营企业,所以在撒切尔夫人时代进行了“股改”。但是“股改”有股改的原则,这种改革都是和国企改革相对应的,那就是经营好的国有企业进行“股改”,而经营不好的国有企业不能进行“股改”。因为“股改”本身牵扯到英国中央政府的背书。只要政府把坏的公司推出,股民赔了钱之后就会骂英国政府。中央政府怎么敢对老百姓言而失信,怎么敢在老百姓的心目之中失去其信用形象呢?因此,只有把好公司进行“股改”,希望老百姓可以赚钱。而现在我们的“股改”,是好好坏坏的公司全部进行“股改”!最后的代价就是我们的政府将信用一起赔了进去。

最后我只问监管单位三句话,第一,你敢不敢保证上市公司在“股改”前不大量收购流通股?你不敢保证。第二,你敢不敢保证上市公司不敢篡改选票,不敢贿赂选民?你也不敢保证。我们已经知道的贿选事件,曾经在上海被大规模报道。第三,你敢不敢保证,推出法人股之后,上市公司不会制造假消息,在高位套现离场,坑害股民?最后,监管单位什么都不能保证!而在什么都不能保证的情况之下进行“股改”,甚至把坏公司都一起进行“股改”,这就是对政府信用的破坏,也是对股民的再一次掠夺!是让全体的股民一起跟着受罪,承担着改革的成本。这种“股改”能够成功吗?“股改”失败之后怎么办?就算了吗?谁负责呢?在今天日益复杂的经济环境中,我们这种简单地引用一些国外的先进概念而创造的政策,必须要检讨。

我们今天太喜欢使用资本主义表面简单肤浅的现象进行改革,而不实事求是地深究各种改革的本质问题,这才是改革的最大危机之所在。当然,还有很多改革都值得我们批评和关注,包括农业改革、房改、金融改革、银行改革,其共同的结果就是改革由少数既得利益者独享改革成果,而改革成本由全社会负担。
