Shoeless & Clueless
August 26, 2010Empathy is the ability to put yourself into another person’s shoes.
A lack of empathy is to render the other person shoeless,
& yourself, clueless.
Courage & Magnanimity are Antonyms
August 19, 2010Courage
to speak up when you’re expected to remain silent
Magnanimity
to remain silent when you want so much to speak up
It didn’t occur to me that
Courage & Magnanimity are Antonyms
Foolishness
to speak up when you’re expected to remain silent
Cowardice
to remain silent when you want so much to speak up
It didn’t occur to me that
Foolishness & Cowardice are also Antonyms
But I would go with the former though
voicelessness, facelessness
August 17, 2010in our daily lives,
we hear many voices,
we see many faces.
listen only to the voices that matter,
remember the familiar faces.
do we want our voice to be drowned out by all the other voices?
do we want our face to be lost in the faceless crowd?
in a sea of voices, where’s your voice?
in a sea of faces, what’s your face?
The Difference
August 13, 2010“not with the eyes, but with the mind…” — Shakespeare, William. A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
What you see is what you see; what you think about is the difference.
stand up for them.
what do you believe in?
what defines you?
what’s your calling?
what do you stand for?
stand up for them.
& stand firm.
you have to.
that’s the difference.
i live in your world, so i follow your rules 既然我活在你的世界，我跟着你的规则好了.
August 6, 2010“Maybe, in the end, even the lies we tell define us. And better, some of them, than our most earnest attempts at the truth.” — Malouf, David. Johnno.
do we really want the lies we tell to define us? perhaps, the mission i was hoping to embark on was a mission beyond a hapless individual, and maybe just, i should give up the fight. well, at least i know, i fought the fight. my conscience is clear.
i live in your world, so i follow your rules. only in flesh, not in spirit though.
do we really want the lies we tell to define us? more than the most earnest attempts at the truth?
my question is: do we really?
whatever your decision is, i’ll keep smiling.
“也许到了最后， 我们所说的谎言更明确地断定我们是谁. 胜于我们最诚恳地尝试去寻找真理.” — Malouf, David. Johnno.
真的要我们的谎言来断定我们是谁吗？可能我想执行的任务远超一个人所能做的能力范围， 也许是时候考虑放弃。 至少我知道，我打过这一仗. 我问心无愧.
既然我活在你的世界，我跟着你的规则好了. 但只在形体上，不在灵魂.
真的要我们的谎言来断定我们是谁吗？ 胜于我们最诚恳地尝试去寻找真理吗？
我想问的是: 真的要吗?
无论你的决定是什么, 我会继续地微笑.
you make me smile

i belong to the country…
i belong to nature…
cos you make me smile
好，就这样吧
July 18, 2010“每一双挑剔的眼光都带着他的人生历练与要求。。。
不要带有情绪。 抛开无谓的纷争, 客观中立。”
我也想这样。
好， 就这样吧。
今天我遇到坏人了
今天我遇到坏人了。
我还记得 红星大奖那晚我说：“乌龟赛跑没有兔子， 只有乌龟。”他说我：“目中无人”，就不让我说话了。我的意思是自己是对手，做好本分，不把别人视为对手。
今天，我说我的新角色是个“自闭儿，怪胎，但有点小天才”。他说他觉得我很像我的角色。我想回答说， 选我演这个角色，我当然还蛮像这个人物的， 我也觉得他很像他演的坏人角色。我没说。
有几个问题我回答：“还好。”他说他最讨厌听到的就是“还好”。我想回答说: “我最喜欢说的就是‘还好’。”我没说。
他叫别人问他我帅不帅，然后故意说“还好”。我想叫别人问我他帅不帅，我会回答“帅”。我没这么做。
他骂我，说我不尊重他，随便和我的队友商量。我说我没有商量答案。 而且我和队友其实是可以沟通商量的，只要不是答案。
这只是一些例子。
我觉得做个前辈要有个前辈的样。
有才能不代表可以为所欲为。有才能， 似有文化修养， 没人格， 可悲。
要别人尊重你，首先要尊重别人。不尊重别人，其实也就是不尊重自己。
我会继续大哥前大哥后地叫他， 但也就是那样。
今天我又遇到这个坏人了。
Leaving… Holiday Mood…
July 1, 2010“Have you heard the news today
I’m leaving town
I’m cashing out
This town’s too small for me to stay
The time is now
I’m heading out
Baby, I still need ya
But if you stay
I’ll leave ya
Cuz I gotta get away
And if I ever see ya
My heart is gonna bleed
But I’m leaving either way
My darling baby
This is a warning
Said that I’m leaving
On Monday morning
You’ll get no answer
No use in calling
Because I’m leaving
On Monday morning
This flower needs somewhere to go
No room to grow
On these dusty roads
I got two tickets and a dream
8:15 I’ll save you a seat
Baby, I still need ya
But if you stay
I’ll leave ya
Cuz I gotta get away
And if I ever see ya
My heart is gonna bleed
But I’m leaving either way
My darling baby
This is a warning
Said that I’m leaving
On Monday morning
You’ll get no answer
No use in calling
Because I’m leaving
On Monday morning
Monday morning
Monday morning
Monday morning (not Tuesday, baby)
Monday morning
Baby, I still need ya
But if you stay
I’ll leave ya
Cuz I gotta get away
And if I ever see ya
My heart is gonna bleed
But I’m leaving either way
My darling baby
This is a warning
Said that I’m leaving
On Monday morning
You’ll get no answer
No use in calling
Because I’m leaving
On Monday morning
Monday morning
Monday morning (this is your warning)
Monday morning
Monday morning
Monday morning
Monday morning
Monday morning
Monday morning”
– Monday Morning, Melanie Fiona.
Another “feel good” song… Time to put everything down and leave…
Goodbye…
“Yes, I’ll Do It Anyway”
June 23, 2010“I can see it coming. It’s not going to be a favourable outcome.”
“But I have a feeling you’re going to do it anyway, no matter the outcome.”
“Yes, you’re right, I’ll do it anyway.”
“No matter the outcome.”
“And maybe, just maybe, it might be a favourable outcome,” more in hope.
You know I’m going to do it anyway.
That’s how I’ve been living my life for a long time now.
No longer calculated, no more afraid or overly conscious.
Not just contented to be warm-blooded but full-blooded, red-blooded.
It doesn’t have to be right, it can be wrong.
What’s life, without giving it your best shot?
爸爸妈妈
“为什么不拿多一点汁？”
他们俩异口同声地回答：
“拿来喝啊？”
“你们可以不要讲一样的话吗？”
忍不住摇头。
他们有时会起口角， 但是三两天后又好了。
都三十多年的老夫老妻了，也难怪。
这就是我爸爸妈妈。
你说好笑不好笑？=）
