We Love Cuz We Understand

image Love flourishes, value is formed and people start to care more when there is understanding.

Three people share the same thought.

"When we really see each other, we want to help each other." — Amanda Palmer, Ted Talks

“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them.” — Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game

And the third person is me.

Understanding is important. Love, trust and careness build on the strong basis of understanding. That is where connection begins.

Suggestion to Feedly

Dear feedly Team, I really like feedly, and it’s already part of my daily life now. Recently, as I were considering to subscribe to feedly Pro, I digged into some people’s reviews on the Internet, and I found some helpful suggestions that can help you to grow your feedly Pro’s subscribers.

The problem is, while visiting feedly Pro’s showcasing page, people perceived that they are buying goods, which means they would assume to get something in exchange with their money. So they think, will the goods worth the money I paid?

feedlypro_top(This is the top of feedly Pro’s showcasing page's design, people to see the highlighted subscription fee first.)

When considering the concept of worth, people would like to collect lots of information about goods’ information like its specs, materials or similar substitutions to compare. However, feedly Pro’s service is not common. It’s not like toothbrushes, which you can have lots of brands, manufacturers, models to choose from, and you can compare all the toothbrushes including their sizes, materials and prices. So the idea of worth is not so easy to get of feedly Pro.

(These services/goods are not easy to compare with others.)

I am here to proposed a better way to showcase feedly Pro, thus to drive in more subscribers.

Engagement

Put feedly's belief, like “Speed, Openness, Creativity,” the words you showed on about page, as the heart of feedly's Pro service. Make friends with feedly’s users by telling them what you believe, the reason that this project start and make your team keep moving.

Also, frame the problem, and suggest feedly as the answer. Showcase feedly in a context, not a standalone tool that jumps out suddenly. Let the words slip into people’s mind ahead of the price tag, slow down the process and engaged with people deeply.

For Example

Let me draft a sample here, for your reference:

Have you ever feel exhausted with the extreme scale of the information? Always so much to digest, but so little time for yourself?

We saw that problem, and we are feeling the same here. That is why we built feedly, to bring everybody's life back. Our team have been working on this project up to three years, we’ve gathered specialist from various fields to carry out the amazing magical tool, feedly.

We believe that with feedly, you can

  • organize and consume all the information easily, meaning speed;
  • use your pen as weapon, to spread things that worth spreading, bringing openness to the world;
  • form knowledge based on healthy digestion of information, cultivating a friendly environment to creativity.

If you share any bit of the thoughts with us, we would like to invite you to stand together. Let's live with order, instead of chaos.

Join feedly's membership now to be with us, and fight this meaningful battle for our better living. Based on the foundation of everyone's support, feedly would overcome any challenges lies ahead, bringing the best service to our friends.

Just $5 for one month membership or $45 for a year for the whole-heart giver like you, feedly team would like to share a warm hug and additional selected features with you.

Or, for our dearly truehearted contributors, you can choose $3 for one month membership or $25 for a year. You will have our warming hugs, also comes together with three additional selected features, which you can choose according to your need.

All in all, you are the reason why feedly is here, great thanks for everyone who scroll all the way down here! Cheers, my friend!

起造台灣

近來對於如何影響社會並使其更加美好,有些更深入、完整的想法,因此寫下這篇來整理,試圖用一個清楚的方式來呈現我的理解與計劃,算是我對於未來的思索(參考:〈 About the Fututre 〉)的延伸,亦是在參加完「政治:起造工作坊」的一個總結。


我想讓台灣變得更加美好

這句話可以做幾種延伸:

  • 我想讓____變得更加美好
  • 讓更多的人,活得更加美好
  • 美好是可以塑造的
  • 何謂美好?

所以,在下面將把這個概念定義的更清楚點。

何謂美好?

每個人都可以依自己最自然的樣子與他人一同歡笑著。

怎麼做?

我們可以做很多事情來形成改變,但如果忽略結構性的成因則無法完整地改變什麼。無論是做什麼事情都具有意義,直接或間接的、正面或負面的,配合著各人不同的能力與限制,所有地行動將拼湊出全面的圖像。然而,如果這些所有的作為,彼此有著近乎迴異的根本,那將讓許多投注的能量彼此抵消。

行動源自於信念。全面的信念才能將不同的行動統合起來,讓投注的力量完整地成就價值。我們不會希望徒勞無功、白費心血、造成反效果,因此得從心深處培養可以不斷進步並維持彈性的性格(像個保守派一樣行事,像自由派一樣傾聽)。

我認知到人的信念的重要性,尤其是其根本性的價值。

怎麼做 Part II:塑造怎麼樣的涵養?

雅量:承認、尊重並認可異於自身的價值。

我們自詡為人,一個有智慧的物種,但到底真正使人類獨特的特質是什麼?恣意地繁衍、爭奪並試圖成為主宰,那是所有物種的本能,而我們的選擇是什麼?由著本性與無知帶領我們,或是妥善地利用大腦尋出萬物的共生之道?

承認,是讓那些異於自身的存在進入意識的第一步;尊重,則是建立對等的互動環境與可能性;認可,則是將珍愛自己的態度一以貫之地涵蓋萬物。不論面對的是人、動物、植物、一件事情或是其他在主觀看來相異於我們的種種,把守這個態度,讓那些原先突兀在眼前的,成為日常的一部份。

怎麼做 Part III:如何影響人們的信念?

如何傳達我的想法,並使人信服?

教育? 寫作? 創作?

讓內容發散。 讓內容自發地使人接收、闡釋並散發。

About the Future

我也許沒有辦法繼續參加多場運動。也許也沒有需要繼續參加。我在其他地方可以/應當有更多的發揮。 台灣人面臨諸多的問題,而我試圖辨別出重要的根源並加以處理,然各種因素其實互相影響、牽扯。但我想,許多問題作為表徵呈現在眼前,其實是互為表裡的其中一面,映照的鏡像反射。

這映射來自微小的個人,個人更映射自本身的內心,源頭是我們的價值觀、信念、對於意義的認同。如果要完整的解決眼前的各種問題,每個人的涵養無疑是不可或缺的一環。

政治乃眾人之事,(其實每件事情皆與眾人有關),所以我們無法也不能脫離整體群眾來思考或運作,那將面臨龐大的風險,雖不是必然失敗,但非長久之道。直接有效的聯繫與交流在群體裡頭有非常重要的因素。

所以我歸結出兩點,要完整地解決當前的「停滯」,可從「塑造涵養」然後進入「融入群眾」的兩個步驟開始著手,這兩點是有層次的。

我擅長保持距離、作暫緩後的或站在他人角度的思考,這在當前有什麼幫助、用處?

回應需求開始。

從兩群人的撮合、對話開始,或是對於結合來使力,讓容易被粗糙對待或易生激化的衝突對立的場合,我可以在現場吸收學習判斷資訊並在之後加以整理並辨別出根本然後讓再次的投入更具有實質上的意義。

說來還是模糊,可如果只是提供技術的參與而少有實質的參與,那也不會是我所想要的。投入什麼,但可以小部分的分享,這樣的搭配是我所比較想的。

feedly 讓你 資訊一把罩!

現在就開始使用「 Feedly 」,給自己 "超豐盛" 而 "有深度" 的自動訊息套餐吧!

Feedly Logo

還在 Yahoo 上看新聞嗎?或是從我的最愛裡頭打開一個一個的網站?其實,在資訊發達的現在,你有更好的選擇!

舉例來說,當你外出用餐時,你可能會挑選一家還不錯的 餐館 A 店 然後走進去。你選擇 餐館 A 店 的原因是,它有許多你喜歡的菜色,雖然這家店的菜單中有一部分是你不一定喜歡的,又或許 隔壁的 餐館 B 店其實也有不少你愛吃的菜,但基於 餐館 A 店 與你的品味與當下的欲望有相當程度的一致性,所以你決定在 餐館 A 店 用餐。

餐館 X 店,一站式服務

如果今天有一家 餐館 X 店,它的菜單,提供你其他的店(從 餐館 A 店、餐館 B 店 到 餐館 N 店)裡頭所有你喜歡的菜色,但撇除你不怎麼喜愛的部分。因此,你可以在 餐館 X 店 吃到整條街上各家店中你愛吃的菜,每次用餐時,你只需要走到 餐館 X 店 即可,反正菜單上都是你的最愛,隨便點都是符合你口味的食物,多簡單,多開心。

feedly:資訊一把罩

每天在網路上閱讀新聞、文章方面,其實也有這樣的 餐館 X 店 存在,讓你不用來回奔波、費心思量,打開一個頁面就好,所有的訊息都讓你一掌握。在此,隆重的推薦「feedly」!
