Reasons for one' s speed of living

Every one is rushing forward!
Every time I slow down my steps,
I will be pushed aside.
Before I can take a look at them,
I am immediatley taken over and left behind.

Those who rush fast must have their reasons,
that I can understand.

I walk ahead slower,
I also have my own reasons.
I don't need to be understood, 
I will continue to move on at my own pace.

人人都擁著衝前，
我一慢著腳步，就被撥開。
我未及多看一眼，已被多人超前。
那些衝得快的人，有他們的理由，
我應該能體會。
我行得稍慢，其實也有我的理由。
我不必要你明白，
但我會繼續按著自己的步伐速度前行。

 

 

 

Mark Knopfler - Slow Learner

People say 'Where have you been?'
Or 'Where did you go?'
I'm a slow learner
I do everything slow
It's my way, has to be true
The world goes by me fast
But where you're concerned
I like good things to last
Where's the point in worrying
If we should start a little late
Where's the point in hurrying
When waiting feels so great?
I'm a slow burner
My last train left a while ago
I'm a slow learner
I do everything slow

So where's the point in worrying
If we should start a little late
And where's the point in hurrying
When waiting feels so great?
I'm a slow burner
My last train left a while ago
I'm a slow learner
I do everything slow

Yeah, I'm a slow burner
My last train left a while ago
I'm a slow learner
I do everything slow

Ashore vs Offshore

 

 

It is a signage for people offshore who have not yet landed.

The people ashore cannot read the signage at all, 

nor do they really bother to read it at all.

Chinese Translation 

給未上岸的人看的告示牌， 

上了岸的人怎會看得到？

或想著要看？

It is my fate to meet you

Some people you meet

may change your life!

Meeting these people

is your fate.

So your life changed by

meeting these people

is also your fate.

From terminus to terminus

由總站到總站。。。

 

Tonight I needed to take a subway ride 

from the terminus Chai Wan to 

the other terminus Kennedy Town 

of the MTR for a work assignment.

Watching the MTR stop and run；

watching people board and unboard 

thorughout the whole long journey, 

I felt a bit tired and lonely.

But as the journey was from end to end, 

it made me feel full and complete.

—————————————————————— 

Chinese Translation 

今夜因工作需要, 

坐一站由柴灣到堅尼地城的地鐵旅程。 

看著車開車停，人上人落... 

旅程因遙遠而漫長， 

看著有點疲倦落寞。 

但終站到終站， 

感覺工整且完滿。

The bottom-line of a professional

Who is a professional in a special field?

A professional in a special field is a person
who is tested and assessed to have attained
the required level of expertise in the special field such that
he can serve or speak for the profession
by providing his service at or above
the required level of expertise.

Unless a professional suffers from
mental disorders or Alzheimer's Disease,
he must be able to serve or speak for
the profession by providing his service
at or above the required level of expertise
he have attained.

A sensible professional would defend and protect himself

not to fall below the bottom-line of his professionalism.
A professional will not be a professional anymore
if he for whatever reasons acts below the bottom-line of 
his professionalism once, just once! 

A below-bottom-line professional is

no more a professional,
in the eyes of not only professionals,
but also non-professionals.

Hidden in The Rooster Bar of John Grisham (2018)

 

John Grisham - The Rooster Bar

 

This book tells you a story of three young people

who had made the very wrong decision

to take the law courses in a diploma mill and

each to suffer huge debts for the courses!

There is such a chain of law schools

whose entry requirements are not high but 

whose tuition fees are very high.

Lack of tuition fees, no problem!

the law school will help students borrow hugh sum of money

very easily to support
them to pay tuition fees and lead an easy-going student living!

However, after graduation,
a student can hardly find a job related to the legal profession with the diploma obtained!
Without securing a good-paid job, the student can also hardly
  repay his huge debts!

 How the three young people mentioned above 

escape and get out of this life dilemma is the story of this novel!

Somewhere you can borrow easy money, don’t go there to borrow,

“no free lunch to go for a diploman mill for your study!" 

 

 

Chinese Translation

 

這書講述三個年青人，

錯入了間學店讀法律而欠下一身巨債的故事！

讀法律而欠下一身巨債的故事！

有這樣的一所連鎖法律學店，

入讀要求不高，學費卻很高，

但學店會幫學生很易就借到很大筆錢，

交學費和生活！

但學生畢業後很難憑其畢業文憑，

找到與法律專業有關的工作！

 

於是窮一世也難以償還巨債！

 

上述那三個年青人，

如何逃離這個人生困局，

就是這本小說的故事！

 

甚麼地方容易借錢，不要去亂借，

“無咁大隻咕咕隨街跳！”

Who have got evolution

Darwin’s theory of evolution says, 

through screening by competition, 

some lacking of strength are eliminated, 

some staying to survive, will evolve. . . 

Those evolve will become more capable of 

further staying through screening by competition.
 

Among those having been staying to survive, 

then through further screening by competition,  

some lacking of strength are eliminated, 

some staying to survive, will evolve. . .  
 Those evolve will become more capable of

further staying through screening by competition...

......
 For human, for those having been staying to survive,

are they evolving into better people?

 

    

蔡健雅 - 達爾文
(2010)

 

我的青春 也不是沒傷痕
是明白愛是信仰的延伸
甚麼特徵 人緣還是眼神
也不會預知愛不愛的可能

保持單身 忍不住又沉淪
兜著圈子來去有時苦等
人的一生 感情是旋轉門
轉到了最後真心的就不分

有過競爭 有過犧牲
被愛篩選過程
學會認真 學會忠誠
適者才能生存
懂得永恆 得要我們
進化成更好的人

我的青春 有時還蠻單純
相信幸福取決於愛得深
讀進化論 我贊成達爾文
沒實力的就有淘汰的可能

我的替身 已換過多少輪
記憶在舊情人心中變冷
我的一生 有幾道旋轉門
轉到了最後只剩你我沒分

有過競爭 有過犧牲
被愛篩選過程
學會認真 學會忠誠
適者才能生存
懂得永恆 得要我們
進化成更好的人

有過競爭 有過犧牲
被愛篩選過程
學會認真 學會忠誠
適者才能生存
懂得永恆 得要我們
進化成更好的人

懂得永恆 得要我們
進化成更好的人
進化成更好的人

達爾文的進化論說，

通過競爭篩選，淘汰沒實力的，
留下來生存的，就得到進化。。。
進化成更能更有能力通過競爭篩選留下來。。。

留下來的，

再通過競爭篩選，淘汰沒實力的，

留下來生存的，就得到進化。。。

進化成更能更有能力通過競爭篩選留下來。。。

。。。。。。

若人， 留下來生存的，
會一定進化成更好的人嗎？ 

Avoid-first-lover syndrome

I know that my first puppy lover

still stays at a corner of my mind because

she comes to my dream occasionally.   

I cannot avoid her appearance in my dream subconsciously.

In real life, I don't want to come across her anywhere again, as I know that I will become nervous when I see her face. 

I do not want to be disturbed emotionally by her anymore. 

I avoid her appearance in my daily life consciously...   

Chinese Translation

我知道我的第一個小情人
仍然停留在我的腦海裡某一個角落，

因為她偶爾出現在我的夢裏。

我無法阻止躲在我的潛意識裏的她，

在我的夢裏出現。

 但我不想再遇到她，

因為我知道當我看到她，

我會變得很緊張。

我不想再被她打擾我的情緒了。

我很希望她不會在我的眼前出現...

 I promise that I'll hold you when it's cold out
When we loose our winter coats in the spring
'Cause lately I was thinking I never told you
That every time I see you my heart sings'Cause we lived at the carnival in summer
We scared ourselves to death on a ghost train
And just like every ferris wheel stops turning
I guess we had an expiration date
So I won't say I love you, it's too late

Oooooooooh
Ooooohohoooooh
Oooohoooooooh
Ohoooohohohoooooh

'Cause every time I saw you I got nervous
Shivering and shaking at the knees
And just like every song I haven't heard yet no
I didn't know the words in front of me

In front of me ooh
But I don't wanna know
Who'll take you home?
Who'll take you home?
Who'll take you home?
Home
If I let you go
  
Oooooohhhhh
Oooooohhhhh
Oooooohhhhh
Oooooooohooooohoohhhh

Now that you're on someone else's shoulders
The winter winds are colder on my own
Maybe we will meet when we get older
Maybe we won't
So I won't say I love you if you don't
Oh you don't

Oooooohhhhh
So I won't say I love you if you don't
