3 Ideas From Me

I. "An expert is someone who, over many years, manages to remain confident enough to keep trying and humble enough to keep learning."

以往常聽到『專家是訓練有素的狗』，這邊再把所謂的專家重新定義，專家長年累積的經驗讓他有足夠自信去嘗試，同時又足夠謙卑低持續學習。專家在我的定義，是嘗試足夠多次，並且能從每次嘗試中總結出經驗的人。

​II."You have no responsibility to live up to someone else's expectation of you.
Spend as little time as possible chasing other people's preferences instead of your own."

若你無法照別人的預期而活，那麼就盡可能少的追求別人的喜好，專注在自己的喜好上，別在乎別人的眼光與期待。

III. "Slowing down enables you to act in a high quality way.
Kind rather than curt. Polished rather than sloppy.
It's hard to be thoughtful when you're in a rush."

慢一點，可以讓你的行動達到更好的品質。確實，很多時候求快、心急，是造成事情搞砸或者關係搞壞的主因。想把某件事快速了結，結果虎頭蛇尾，反倒留下不好的風評。就像金城武說的：『世界在快，心，則慢』

2 Quotes From Others

I.Poet and novelist May Sarton on letting go:
"I think of the trees and how simply they let go, let fall the riches of a season, how without grief (it seems) they can let go and go deep into their roots for renewal and sleep...

Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go."

很有詩意的一篇，向樹木學習，葉子自然落下，回歸大地，成為滋潤自身的養分。生活中的苦痛，也可以像這樣，逐步脫離並消散，就像樹葉一樣。

​II.
Writer Joan Didion shares some life advice:

"I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it."

​生命中的喜﹑怒﹑哀﹑樂﹑苦﹑驚﹑恐，都是生活的調味料，沒有了這些，生命淡而無味，享受生命中的五味雜陳，仔細體會，並趁你還能的時候。因為生命一旦到了盡頭，啥都沒有!​

1 Question For You
