s*******e 发帖数: 4188 | 8 对,why do you want to buy life insurance?
Life insurance能保证你不死吗?能让你死而复活吗?能在你死后让亲人不悲伤吗?都
不能。那你死后拿到一笔钱有什么用?如果你care的人的生活depend on你活着挣的钱
就有用。什么人依赖于你呢?你的未成年的孩子,或许你的父母,或许你的配偶没有工
作能力无法养活自己。你的保额也跟他们依赖于你的程度有关。如果这些情况都不存在
,那你没必要买life insurance。
那些身份问题跟insurance公司的business practice有关,跟你的需求没关系。 |

flat rate的。到80,90也和现在的rate一样。而且,当时我们也问了如果当时实在没
有收入,按现在的rate也付不起的话,也是可以把现有的钱提出来的。所以对我们说,
whole life的保险就是一个比较长远的saving,买得早,就锁定一个比较low的premium。
所以,要买保险还是要找个比较knowledgeable agent先问清楚个中情况下怎么处理。
我的agent也不错,如果需要,也可以联系我。 |

k**a 发帖数: 133 | 42 看完Life of PI最深刻的一个感觉是,不得不向李安致敬。也许我看的电影还不够多,
但我从没有看过一个导演这么用心,这么真诚的在拍电影。不是说拿个故事加几个眩目
的镜头把观众忽悠一下,或是想讲个大道理但最后草草了事。他是一点一滴的想把自己
领悟到的东西表达出来。宗教,自然与人,人性与兽性,没有一个是容易的题材,他自
己也许也没有很清晰的解释,但是他感受到了这种冲突,觉得自己已经在答案的边缘。
这些关于人性的思考,我想最终可能是不能用人类的语言表达的,这部电影对我就象是
一个人在很艰难的用他力所能及的方式,讲述他内心的感受。有的电影是向观众讲一个
故事,有的是试图教育大家一个道理,而这部电影是向观众剖析自己的思考。后来我看
柴静对李安的采访,那里他多次提到赤子之心,也许这就是我感到的他的真诚吧。
所以每个人看Life of PI都有自己的解释。我看Life of PI想到了贝多芬的第九交响曲
,“欢乐颂”。在经历苦难与天斗与地斗之后,终于天人合一。没有谁战胜谁,生命的
本质就是接受这些苦难和冲突,在苦难中保持高贵。而这些也就是宗教的意义。 |

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE (Debbie Boone)
So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song
Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone
You light up my life
You give me hope |

My heart was pounding so fast I couldn't breath
I still remember the first time when we kissed
It was a hot hot summer night, the stars were bright
Your breath on my face, your lips were so soft and sweet
I felt like melted I couldn't stand on my feet
