Beautiful People

Have you ever met beautiful people? 

In what ways do you consider them beautiful?

As time goes by, 

can they maintain that beauty—

or do other factors change 

how you perceive them? 

It is a true blessing to have people 

in your life 

who remain beautiful 

in your eyes forever.

 Passenger - Beautiful Birds feat. BIRDY

Do you remember when 

we were two beautiful birds?

We would light up the sky 

when we'd fly

You were orange and red 

like the sun when it sets

I was green as an apple's eye

You said you loved 

all the songs that I'd sing

Like nothing that you'd ever heard

And I said I loved you with 

all of my heart when

We were two beautiful birds

Do you remember when 

we were two beautiful birds?

We would sing when 

the morning would come

You were silver and blue like 

the moon when it's new

I was gold as a summer sun

But one day you asked for 

a different song

One that I just couldn't sing

I got the melody sharp and 

the words all wrong

Those were the last days of spring

To build a nest 

we pecked feathers from our chests

Like a book tearing out every page

We weren't to know that 

these feathers would grow

Into a beautiful cage

I have done something wrong.

Can I do everything right?

No!

I have done something wrong.

Can it be made up for?

If not, be careful not to do it again, 

and leave all the hurt behind.

If so, thank God.

The Bee Gees  - Wouldn't I Be Someone

Maybe there's a reason why we broke up 

I could dedicate my life to something new 

But I must have been asleep but then I woke up 

Working out why I was still with you 

All the things I wish I could have been 

Wouldn't I be someone , someone 

And I would be respected 

In the prime of my life , 

I'll do everything right 

I'll begin 

Wouldn't I be something , something 

I would get a reputation 

In the prime of my life ,

 I'll do everything right 

I'll begin 

Midnight stars are shining on my shoeshine 

Telling me the things I'm gonna be 

Now the hurts all gone , 

I've pushed them all behind me 

And the world is gonna fall in love with me 

All the things I wish I could have been 

Wouldn't I be someone , someone 

And I would be respected 

In the prime of my life, 

I'll do everything right 

I'll begin 

Wouldn't I be something, something 

I would get a reputation 

In the prime of my life , 

I'll do everything right 

I'll begin

The Peter Principle Applied at the Top of the World

The Peter Principle is a human resources theory proposed by Laurence J. Peter, 

stating that in a hierarchical organization, 

employees are promoted based on 

their success in their current roles until 

they reach a level where 

they are no longer competent to 

carry out the work required at that level.

The employee, of course, 

knows their situation deep in his/her heart. 

However, in most cases, 

the concerned employee is not 

willing to admit it.

Their tactics to cope with the situation can vary:

One extreme is to exert every effort to 

complete the work by using 

all available time and resources, 

just like candle burning at both ends.

Another extreme is to carry out the work 

according to one’s own schedule and capacity, 

with an “I-am-I” attitude.

Such employees can sometimes 

remain in their positions until 

they make serious mistakes or 

cause major problems due to their incapacity.

The Carpenters - Top of the World

Such a feelin's comin' over me

There is wonder in most every thing I see

Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes

And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be

Is now comin' true especially for me

And the reason is clear,

it's because you are here

You're the nearest thing to heaven

that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world

lookin' down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found,

ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name

And it's tellin' me that

things are not the same

In the leaves on the trees,

and the touch of the breeze

There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind

When this day is through

I hope that I will find

That tomorrow will be,

just the same for you and me

All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world

lookin' down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found,

ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

I'm on the top of the world

lookin' down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found,

ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

Enjoying a Mid-Autumn Journey in Four Movements

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival is
the Day of Welcoming the Moon,
and the day after is
the Day of Chasing the Moon.
On the night following
the Day of Chasing the Moon,
enjoy the moonlit scenery for
one more night,
rest a bit earlier,
recharge the spirit,
and live a best life tomorrow.

Cat Stevens - Moonshadow

Yes I'm bein' followed by a 

moonshadow

Moonshadow, moonshadow

Leapin' and hoppin' on a 

moonshadow

Moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands

Lose my plough, lose my land

Oh if I ever lose my hands

Oh i...if, I won't have to work no more

And if I ever lose my eyes

If my colours all run dry

Yes if I ever lose my eyes

Oh i...if, I won't have to cry no more

Yes I am bein' followed by a 

moonshadow

Moonshadow, moon shadow

Leapin' and hoppin' on a 

moonshadow

Moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my legs

I won't moan, and I won't beg

Oh if I ever lose my legs

Oh i...if, I won't have to walk no more

中秋節正日的前一天是迎月天，

再欣賞多一晚月色，

早一些休息，

儲足精神，

過好明天的生活。

Treasure the people,

and enjoy the current 

picture-like night scene.

Barclay James Harvest - Moongirl

Voices in the air, 

drifting from afar

Evening finds her waking, 

dancing with the stars

And when I'm waiting for the sun to 

smile upon my face

Moongirl's softly sleeping, 

daylight dreams away

Silence stepping by, 

lightly on the ground

Moving like a butterfly, 

never makes a sound

And when I'm waiting for the sun 

to smile so I can see

Comes the dancing moongirl, 

watching over me

(Love of my life)

Moongirl, shines her light on me

Moongirl, she's the one I see

Take me to the places 

where I long to be

She moves me, she moves me

Moongirl, shines her light on me

Moongirl, she's the one I see

Take me to the places where I long to be

She moves me, she moves me

水墨幾筆 - 秋月流金（15cm x 15cm）（2026）

秋月流金，時光飛逝。

珍惜眼前人事物，

享受當下如畫夜色。

I've come back

When you return to your hometown, 

what do you look forward to most? 

Do you want to revisit some old places, 

or reconnect with some people? 

What do you treasure the most 

about your old town?

Maurice Gibb - I've come back

I can find my way around town

I ain't blind I've been here before

No-one knows when I feel down

It's hard to laugh when you know the score

But I know that she'll always be

Waiting here for me

Is it true to say that she's the one that I love

It's plain to see

No-one knows that I have left town

I've come back as to face the fact

Trying easy on your own ground

It's plain to see love is what a lie

No-one knows when I feel down

It's hard to laugh when you know the score

Yes, it's hard to laugh when you know the score

But I know that she'll always be

Waiting here for me

Is it true to say that she's the one that I love

It's plain to see

She knows that I have left

I've come back

The Moon is Out

Autumn is a season of harvest. 

As Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, 

the yield of our hard work is already set. 

Whether the harvest is 

abundant, modest, or lean, 

let us celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival 

with joy and 

fill our lives with positive energy.

Gregory Alan Isakov - Sweet Heat Lightning

Monsters beneath your bed

What’s real, what’s in your head

Moon’s out, my mother’s house is empty

Come and find me now

Sweet heat lightning falls 

Blue crack of light and that’s all 

Calling you to sing 

You drive, 

let’s see where this ends 

Let’s let the wheels wear out 

Sweet heat lightning falls 

Blue crack of light and that’s all 

Calling you to sing

Calling you

My Time is Out of Control

Time flies—
its speed varies
at different stages of life.

I can control the speed of my car
when I’m driving,
but I can’t control
how fast time passes.
