You and I

別讓他人影響你的情緒

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations.

It's beautiful.
If not,  then not.

Whenever you can do begin it

如果你看得懂這一個短文 你一定能看懂這個部落格的所有名言:


“Until one is committed,
        there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, 
  always ineffectiveness.

     Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation),
there is one elementary truth,
         the ignorance of which kills countless ideas
   and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself,
                   then Providence moves too.

       All sorts of things occur to help one
           that would never otherwise have occurred.
 A whole stream of events issues from the decision
   raising in one’s favor all manner

  Of unforeseen incidents and meetings And material assistance, 
   Which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
    Whatever you can do or dream you can begin it. 
       Boldness has genius, power and magic in it”

           -W.H. Murray, from The Scottish Himalayan Expedition


“一個人直到下決心後
        如果還猶豫,也想退縮,
            就始終無法實現。

     關於主動性 (和創造) 的行為,
            基本上僅有一個事實,
         無知殺死了無數的想法和燦爛的計劃:
             那一刻註定自己的命運,
                   然後天意也跟隨移動.

       各種事情的發生,
           絕不會有其他方式去幫助這個人
      整整事件的問題在於個人的決心和喜好.

   對於突發事件和遭遇,還有物質上的援助,
        沒有人可以一邊做夢  且一邊付諸行動。
    不管你能做什麼,或者做夢,你可以開始了。
       有膽識者,應該也是天才,也具有力量和魔法“

           -W.H.穆雷,摘自 The Scottish Himalayan Expedition

人生的秘訣:中年以前不要怕,中年以後不要悔

        30年前,一個年輕人離開故鄉,開始創造自己的前途。他動身的第一站,是去拜訪本族的族長,請求指點。
     老族長正在練字,他聽說本族有位後輩開始踏上人生的旅途, 就寫了3個字:不要怕。然後抬起頭來,望著年輕人說:孩子,人生的秘訣只有6個字,今天先告訴你3個,供你半生受用。

       30
年後,這個從前的年輕人已是人到中年,有了一些成就,也添了很多傷心事。歸程漫漫,到了家鄉,他又去拜訪那位族長。


        他到了族長家裡,才知道老人家幾年前已經去世,家人取出一個密封的信封對他說:這是族長生前留給你的,他說有一天你會再來。

       回鄉的遊子這才想起來,30年前他在這裡聽到人生的一半秘訣,拆開信封,裡面赫然又是3個大字:不要悔

人生的秘訣:中年以前不要怕,中年以後不要悔。

Arrow goes forward

弓箭一出弓就往前,只有在取箭時才向後,
子彈一出擊就直衝,只有扣板時扣拔向後,
人生的快樂都是在面對困難之後,
所以不要怕面對困難,
它是推動你向前的力量°
