That day of every year - 9th March

From 1st January to 31st December of a year, 
there are some days to which 
I have special affection because 
those days have special meaning for me, 
such as the birthday of mine and my loved ones. 

I treat the day of 9th March as special to me simply 
because I am fond of 
the Japanese song titled "9th March."

Remioromen - 3月9日 (9.3.2005)
The original MV




歌詞
在流動的季節中間 
突然感覺一天的長度 
在忙碌的日子裡 
我和你畫一個夢 
把你的思念寄託在三月的風上 
櫻花花蕾持續到春天

光粒子溢出 
一點一點溫暖早晨 
打了個大哈欠之後 
旁邊有點害羞的你 
站在新世界的入口 
我意識到我並不孤單

當我閉上眼睛的時候,
你通過在眼瞼後面 你能變得多強? 
我想對你也一樣

捲起塵埃的旋風 
它會纏在衣服上 
中午之前天空中的白月 太美了,
我都能看到 有時事情並不順利,
但是 當我仰望天空時,即使天空很小
藍天清澈端莊 
羊雲靜靜地搖曳 
等待花開的喜悅 
如果我能分享我很高興
在我身邊溫柔地微笑

當我閉上眼睛的時候,
你通過在眼瞼後面 
你能變得多強? 
我想對你也一樣

啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 
啊啊啊

Stay Alive | The Secret Life of Walter Mitty | Jose Gonzalez

Stay Alive | The Secret Life of Walter Mitty | Jose Gonzalez




There's a rhythm and rush these days
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean
Sometimes there's things a man cannot know
The gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow
There's no place to run and no gasoline
Engine won't turn and the train won't leave
Engines won't turn and the train won't leave
I will stay with you tonight
Hold you close 'til the morning light
In the morning watch a new day rise
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
Well the way I fell is the way I write
It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies
There is a truth and it's on our side
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Look into the sun as the new days rise
And I will wait for you tonight
You're here forever and you're by my side
I've been waiting all my life
To feel your heart as it's keeping time
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Look into the sun as the new days rise
There's a rhythm and rush these days
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean
But there is a truth and it's on our side
Dawn is coming open your eyes
Look into the sun as a new days rise

Ignorance to Work-Life Balance


The need to strike a work-life balance often 
becomes apparent when 
the pressures of work, life, or both 
reach a tipping point that begins to 
erode the quality of one’s life or productivity at work.

However, when the need to establish 
a work-life balance arises, 
it is inexcusable to ignore the issue, 
as inaction can lead to serious consequences, 
including potential tragedy.

"Heisei-era Kana Nishino" vs. "Reiwa-era Kana Nishino"

In Japan, some music fans enjoy 
categorizing the musical development of 
their favorite idol singers 
by the historical eras of Heisei and Reiwa.

Heisei Era (平成年代): 
This corresponds to the reign of Emperor Akihito,
starting on January 8, 1989, and 
ending on April 30, 2019.

Reiwa Era (令和年代):
This began with the reign of Emperor Naruhito 
on May 1, 2019.

For example, 
the popular Japanese singer Kana Nishino (西野加奈)
announced her temporary withdrawal 
from the music scene in February 2019. 
Later, she got married and gave birth to her first child in 2023. 
Fans who had been eagerly awaiting her return 
were delighted when 
she announced her comeback in 2025.

Fans enjoy distinguishing her career as 
"Heisei-era Kana Nishino" and 
"Reiwa-era Kana Nishino", 
appreciating each phase of 
her music evolution 
with appropriate expectations and support.

"Heisei-era Kana Nishino"
「平成年代的西野加奈」

"Reiwa-era Kana Nishino"
「令和年代的西野加奈」

日本有些歌迷以平成年代及令和年代,
將她們的偶像歌手的音樂發展分開階段來欣賞。
平成年代:是日本天皇明仁的年號,
從1989年1月8日開始,
至2019年4月30日結束。
令和年代:是日本天皇德仁的年號,
自2019年5月1日開始。

例如,日本流行音樂女歌手
西野加奈 (Nishino Kana) 於 2019年2月
宣布暫時退出歌壇。
之後,她結婚並於 2023年生下第一個孩子。
歌迷們期待已久的她,
終於在 2025年 宣布復出。

歌迷喜歡以「平成年代的西野加奈」和
「令和年代的西野加奈」
來區分她的音樂發展階段,
並以對偶像以恰如其分的期望和要求來支持她。

我想見你,我想見你,
我顫抖不已。
越想你,你就越覺得離我遠。
請讓我再聽見你說一聲“我愛你”,
哪怕是謊言,就像那天一樣……
今天是我們的紀念日,
如果是真的,
我不禁好奇我們是否會一起度過那段時光。
你確定你已經忘記一切,和她一起歡笑嗎?
你一直以來只對我傾訴的話語和溫柔,
還有我珍惜的笑容,
你也都對她傾訴了嗎?
寶貝,我知道,你已經不再屬於我了,
但無論如何,你都必須是我的。
你就是那個人。
我想見你,我想見你,我顫抖不已。
越想你,你就越覺得離我遠。
如果我們能重新在一起……
遙不可及的感情,
我的心,我的感受。
我希望我能見到你,但我不能。
我越想你,就越痛苦。
請讓我再聽見你,哪怕是謊言。

The black butterfly flies darkly

When a black butterfly flies,
it flies darkly,
but it shines brightly.



Yumi Matsutoya - 《Karasu Ageha》

Beyond the dead-end road
A faint sound can be heard
As if whispering, "Come quickly,"
Who is it that lures me out?

I call for you, 
but I'm tangled up, 
unable to turn it into proper words
The fluttering, 
falling cherry blossoms carry feelings of regret
As if saying, 
"Please, never forget me," 
they dye the sky

Like overlapping mirrors rippling in waves,
The black swallowtail is swept away
I call for you, 
but no matter how I struggle, 
I can no longer return anywhere

Tears that fall and scatter
Mercilessly blur my memories
Constantly reminding me that 
I cannot stay here forever

I want to see you, 
wandering in time that will never return
The fluttering, falling cherry blossoms carry 
feelings of regret
As if saying, "Please, never forget me," 
they dye the sky

Tears that fall and scatter
Mercilessly blur my memories
Constantly reminding me that 
I cannot stay here forever


松任谷由実 - 《烏揚羽》(黑鳳蝶)

在死胡同的道路彼端
傳來微弱的聲音
彷彿在低語著「快過來吧」
究竟是誰在引誘我?

想呼喚你 卻糾纏著 怎麼也無法順利發出聲音
飄落的櫻花,載滿無奈的思緒
「永遠不要忘記我」 它這樣染紅了天空

如同重疊的鏡面波動般
被沖散的烏揚羽蝶
想呼喚你 卻掙扎著 已經無法回到任何地方

簌簌落下的眼淚
無情地模糊了記憶
不停地告訴我 再也無法永遠留在這裡

想見你 彷徨於無法回返的時間裡
飄落的櫻花,載滿無奈的思緒
「永遠不要忘記我」 它這樣染紅了天空

簌簌落下的眼淚
無情地模糊了記憶
不停地告訴我 再也無法永遠留在這裡

Inspiration from Memories of Disaster and Pain

When I was in the 5th grade, 
RTV (麗的電視) aired the music video for 
The Bee Gees' "My World" several times a day. 
It was during this period that 
I developed a strong interest in 
The Bee Gees' pop songs, 
captivated by their beautiful melodies.

Among their songs, 
one that stood out to me was 
"New York Mining Disaster 1941". 
This song tells the story of miners trapped
underground after a coal mining accident, 
expressing the anxiety and despair 
they felt while waiting to be rescued. 
The lyrics go beyond 
the typical themes of love songs, 
delving into social events and 
the human experiences within them. 
To me, the song carried immense power, 
which is why I loved it so much.

The Bee Gees - 
New York Mining Disaster 1941 (1967)



When I reached middle school, 
I discovered another British band that 
I grew fond of—Barclay James Harvest (BJH). 
One of their early songs, 
"The Great 1974 Mining Disaster", 
also became a favorite of mine.

I found the song somewhat reminiscent of 
The Bee Gees' "New York Mining Disaster 1941". 
However, rather than focusing on a single event,
it explored a broader range of 
life reflections and insights. 
Like the Bee Gees' song, 
it wasn't a typical love song. 
This song, too, resonated deeply with me 
due to its strength and emotional depth.

Barclay James Harvest -
The Great 1974 Mining Disaster (1974)



Recently, I came across some information online 
that revealed an interesting connection 
between these two songs. 
It turns out that BJH's lead singer, John Lees, deconstructed and adapted 
The Bee Gees' "New York Mining Disaster 1941" 
to comment on the 1974 UK miners' strike.

John Lees made subtle yet significant changes 
to the original lyrics. 
For instance, 
The Bee Gees' line:
"Don't go talking too loud, 
you'll cause a landslide"
was transformed 
into:
"All you have to do is 
smile to cause a landslide."

Upon discovering this, I was thrilled. 
It was a delightful realization that 
my two favorite bands were 
connected in such a meaningful and tangible way, 
with one influencing the other.

The Bee Gees - New York Mining Disaster 1941 (1967)

In the event of something happening to me,
There is something I would like you all to see.
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, 
you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.
I keep straining my ears to hear a sound.
Maybe someone is digging underground,
Or have they given up and all gone home to bed,
Thinking those who once existed must be dead.
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.
In the event of something happening to me,
There is something I would like you all to see.
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.


Barclay James Harvest -
The Great 1974 Mining Disaster (1974)

Heard a song the other day
About a major out in space
And though the song was kind of grey
It took me far away
Heard the news the other day
About a sailor oh so gay
And though his policies were grey
They took me far away
'Cause I couldn't stand the thought
Of being taken in again
Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?
Do you know what it's like to be outside?
All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide
And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan
Heard a song just yesterday
About a man who sold the world away
And though the song was still quite grey
It took me far away
'Cause I couldn't stand the thought
Of being taken in again
Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan?
Do you know what it's like to be outside?
All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide
And you do, and you do, Mr. Groan

我讀小學5年級時,
麗的電視天天播放數次
The Bee Gees 的《My World》MV。
我那時開始很喜歡聽 The Bee Gees 的流行歌曲,
他們的歌曲旋律優美。
其中有一首歌《New York Mining Disaster 1941》,
它的內容描寫一宗煤礦意外事件中,
受困的礦工待救時那種焦急的心情。
這首歌的歌詞講述社會事件以及其中的人情經歷,
並非一般情歌內容。
我覺得整首歌曲很有力量,
所以我很喜歡這首歌曲。

到我初中時,我又喜歡上一隊英國的樂隊
Barclay James Harvest (BJH)。
他們在出道早期有一首歌我也特別喜歡,
《The Great 1974 Mining Disaster》。
我覺得這首歌與 The Bee Gees 的
《New York Mining Disaster 1941》有點相似。
但其內容並非圍繞某單一事件,
而是描寫更多維度的人生領悟,
同樣也不是一般情歌內容。
我覺得整首歌曲很有力量,
所以我也很喜歡這首歌曲。

最近我在網上偶然發現有資料記述,
BJH 的主音歌手 John Lees 通過解構
改編 The Bee Gees 的
《New York Mining Disaster 1941》這首歌,
以評論 1974 年英國礦工罷工事件。
John Lees 對原歌詞做了一些微妙的改動,
例如將 The Bee Gees 的
「don't go talking too loud,
you'll cause a landslide」
(別大聲說話,小心引發山崩)
改為「all you have to do is smile
to cause a landslide」
(你只需要微笑就能引發山崩)。

我有此發現, 很是開心,
因為我最喜歡的兩隊樂隊,
竟然一隊影響另一隊,
有著一線很實質的牽連。

Watching everyday go by......

With limited resources,
do some simple and interesting things.
This will create 
a sense of presence and vitality in life.

Not just watching every day go by.





The Bee Gees - Reaching out

I'm watching every day go by
Living in a foolish game
Just the way I feel today
Living my life without you
Never hear a single word
Living in a lullaby
Praying every tear I cry
Living my life without you
And everywhere you go I fly
(I love you with a special feeling)
And darling 'til the day I die
(Baby, never stop believing)
I'll be reaching out, oh
I'll be reaching out
Ah-ah-ah, reaching out
There's a woman goin' through me (I'll be reaching out)
Got a chance to hold you to me (ah-ah-ah)
Everything is lonely and I need you
Living my life forever, forever
Watching every day go by
Living on the one I love
What I got is not enough
Living my life without you
And I believe in yesterday
(Yesterday was once tomorrow)
With love, with love wide open every way
(Baby, you're the light I follow)
I'll be, I'll be (I'll be reaching out) ooh
I'll be reaching out
Ah-ah-ah, reaching out
There's a woman going through me (I'll be reaching out)
Not a chance to hold you to me
Everything is lonely and I need you
Living my life forever
I'll be reaching out, whoa
I'll be reaching out, ah
Ah-ah-ah, reaching out
I'll be reaching out, ah-ah-ah
Living my life forever
Reaching out, I'll be reaching out, ah-ah-ah
Reaching out, I'll be reaching out, ah-ah-ah
Reaching out, I'll be reaching out, ah-ah-ah

When you are crying, I have no tears.


A relationship has broken; 
 it is unfinished. 
 Don't attempt to finish it. 

 Don’t ever look back again. 
 Break free from it. 

 When one is crying, 
 the other may have no tears.

一段關係已破裂,
即是尚未完結。
但不要試圖將它完結。

永遠不要回頭看。
要從中爭脫出來。

當一方在哭泣時,
另一方可能沒哭無淚。

Unfinished
Song by Leone Ieiri · 2022


Lyrics

"Call me a liar"
Push me away, no matter what
So I won’t dream anymore, ah
If these excessive emotions
Keep running wild,
Might as well erase them
From the world altogether.

I am so unfinished,
I don’t know what to do.
If I can’t save you,
Then don’t bring me to life.

Stop loving me and run away from me.
You can reject it all, everything, everything.
If it stays like this, I’ll end up breaking you.
Is it okay? Is it okay? Is it okay?

Don’t ever look back again.
Make sure you find happiness.
I’m sorry for loving you like this.
You’re free now.

"Show me the truth,"
You say, while hiding it.
The two of us, deceiving each other, ah.
Unnecessarily, you hurt me,
But only my love
Can fill the emptiness in you.

You are so unfinished,
I don’t know what to do.
We are so much alike, aren’t we?
Hold your breath and run away from me.

I want you to forget everything, everything.
No matter where you live,
I love you, I love you, I love you.

Even though you’re crying,
Why can’t I cry too?
I’m sorry for loving you irresponsibly, uh.

Everything
Keeps surging in and pulling back,
Unsettled.
Please give me back
My ordinary days.

I want it to end; it just won’t end.
It’s okay, you decide, uh.

Stop loving me and run away from me.
I want you to break it all, everything, everything.
Throw away the past and laugh it off.
It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.

Don’t ever look back again.
Make sure you find happiness.
I’m sorry for loving you like this, uh.

Hold your breath and run away from me.
I want you to forget everything, everything.
No matter where you live,
I love you, I love you, I love you.

The world that only we could see
Seemed far too fragile.
You smile and say, "I’m glad I met you," uh.

You’re free now.
You’re free now.

未完成
家入里昂的歌曲 ‧ 2022 年


歌詞

「叫我騙子吧」
無論如何都推開我
只為了不再做夢 啊
若這過激的情感
肆意橫衝直撞
乾脆將它從這世界
一併抹去就好了。

我竟是如此未完成
該怎麼辦才好
我根本不知道。
若無法拯救,那就不要降生。

停止愛我,逃離我吧。
你可以否定一切,全都可以,全都可以。
若繼續這樣下去,我會毀掉你。
可以嗎?可以嗎?可以嗎?

不要再回頭了。
一定要找到屬於你的幸福。
這樣的我,愛上你真的很抱歉。
你已經自由了。

「給我看真相吧」
你這麼說著,卻同時隱藏它。
兩個人互相欺騙著,啊。
你不必要地傷害我,
但只有我的愛
能填補你內心的寂寞。

你竟是如此未完成
該怎麼辦才好
我根本不知道。
我們真是相似的兩個人啊。
屏住呼吸,逃離我吧。

我希望你能忘掉一切,全都可以,全都可以。
無論你在何處生活,
我都愛你,愛你,愛你。

明明你正在哭泣,
但為什麼我卻無法流淚呢?
不負責任地愛著你,對不起,Uh。

一切
都湧上心頭又退回去,
無法安定。
請把正常的日子還給我吧。

我想結束,但無法結束。
可以的,由你來決定,Uh。

停止愛我,逃離我吧。
我希望你能全部摧毀,一切一切。
把過去也丟掉,笑著一筆帶過。
可以的,可以的,可以的。

不要再回頭了。
一定要找到屬於你的幸福。
這樣的我,愛上你真的很抱歉,Uh。

屏住呼吸,逃離我吧。
我希望你能忘掉一切,全都可以,全都可以。
無論你在何處生活,
我都愛你,愛你,愛你。

只有我們看見的世界
似乎太過脆弱了。
你帶著笑容說「認識你真好」,Uh。

你已經自由了。
你已經自由了。

Compulsive Hoarding vs Hoarding Phobia (囤積症 vs 囤積恐懼症)

Some people have the urge to 
hoard items of interest, 
such as books, toys, dolls, pets, and more. 

Among these individuals, 
some have a very strong urge to 
collect large quantities of these items—
far beyond what most people would own. 
This can lead to excessive accumulation, 
often surpassing their ability to 
maintain the items or their daily needs.

But what if you have the means to keep them? 
For instance, if you have enough space at home, 
would you buy and keep 1,000 pairs of shoes? 
These individuals often fulfill 
a psychological need through compulsive hoarding, 
accumulating items of interest 
while showing a persistent reluctance 
to discard or part with their possessions.

I don't know if compulsive hoarding qualifies 
as a psychological disorder, 
but I am certain that having a fear of 
hoarding—hoarding phobia—is one. 
I feel dreadful even thinking about 
excessive quantities of an item. 
The sight of such excess is even worse. 
For example, 
I find one Hello Kitty doll or one real cat cute, 
but seeing hundreds of Hello Kitty dolls or 
many cats grouped together at home would 
seem awkward and even make me feel sick!

However, I have one exception: 
hoarding HK$ notes never causes me distress!

Al Stewart - The Year of the Cat



On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress
Running like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'til your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
"These days, " she says, "I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat"
While she looks at you so coolly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice and 
lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the newborn day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now, you're gonna stay
In the year of the cat
Mm, year of the cat

A bird should fly though its wings are broken.
 
See, the sky is so wide open.

Bees Gees - Song Birds




Go on with your song, bird
You can't go wrong bird
You will go on and on, bird
Like you did before
Though your wings are broken
The sky is so wide open
And the wind is waiting for you
Like an open door


Though you go so far away
Your voice will still be heard so well
You'll never really ever know
How beautiful you are
When the moon is on the rise
I'll try to make my songbird fly
I wonder if he ever will
And if he really did, how far


Go on with your song, bird
You can't go wrong bird
You will go on and on, bird
Through the open door

Go on with your song, bird
You can't go wrong my bird
You will go on and on, bird
Like you did before

Like you did before

Look up to see the moon


I am not quite aware of 
how frequently I look up to 
catch sight of the moon.

Not very often!

When I consciously look up to see the moon, 
it is usually during the Mid-Autumn Festival. 
The full moon is always visible around this time.

I haven't consciously thought about 
seeing a non-full moon for years.

In fact, subconsciously, 
I don't look up to the sky during 
any non-full-moon days. 

The sight of a non-full moon 
tells me too many stories.



我並不太清楚
自己有多常仰看月亮。

實在並不常看!

到我有意識地仰看月亮時,
通常是在中秋節期間。
這時看到的都是滿月。

我已經多年沒有刻意
仰看一個非滿月的月亮了。

事實上,下意識裡,
我在非滿月的日子裡
並不會抬頭仰看天空。

因為非滿月的景象
總會告訴我過多故事。

柴咲コウ×徳永英明 月のしずく


月のしずく(明月的光滴)
作詞:Satomi
作曲:松本良喜

歌語是 明月光滴的情歌
濃烈的香氣
彷彿低聲訴說著愛的呢喃
硝煙的聲響
像陣雨中蟬鳴的風聲

在時光的盡頭
愛的溫度逐漸冷卻
那些短暫的回憶
卻越來越清晰地浮現

「好想你啊……」的思念
悄然化作一個心願
今夜,明月的光滴
再次濡濕了心中的悲傷

下弦月緩緩升起
像一面清澈如鏡的水面

世間的萬葉花朵
已悄然褪色
人們的心
也漸漸被悲傷染上陰影

「思念你……」的歌聲
悄悄傳向遙遠的天際
今夜,明月的光滴
再次濡濕了心中的悲傷

「好想你啊……」的思念
悄然化作一個心願
今夜,明月的光滴
再次濡濕了心中的悲傷

下弦月低聲吟唱
那不朽的愛……

Lingering around the Dreamland.

I have bad dreams very often. Still, 

I have good dreams occasionally. 

Whenever I wake up from a good dream, 

I like to stay in bed for a longer time 

to enjoy the lingering traces of the good mood 

from the dream, 

even willing to sacrifice breakfast time, 

because I treasure the rare good dreams 

I have in life.

God is nearby.

Worshipping one's God creates 
fullness and strength for 
the righteous worshipper. 
Whenever you feel empty and weak, 
God is nearby, and He will help you.




Barclay James Harvest - Ra
(Ra was the Ancient Egyptian sun god)

Burning fiery furnace in the sky
Burns the ground around us where we lie
Sad old black-faced thunder will you rise
Bring your cloud and shadows to our eyes

Blazing star in heaven, mirror bright
Dry our seas and rivers with your light
Universal sentinel you are
Guide of all who look on from afar

God of old now broken and defaced
Punish all who've fallen from your grace
You whose power leaves the deepest scar
Mystic eye of heaven, Amun Ra

Arbitrary Arbitration

Arbitration is a means of 
resolving disputes between different parties. 

Its effectiveness stems from its flexibility, 
which allows it to bypass 
the rigid application of law
and avoid the tedious proceedings of court.

For matters that do not involve 
significant financial interest, 
arbitration can provide 
a simplified resolution process. 
It allows one party to feel as though 
they have won while simultaneously 
providing the other party with 
the same sense of satisfaction. 
In this way, 
both parties can feel that 
they have achieved a favorable outcome.

However, fewer people now adopt 
arbitration to resolve their disputes. 
This is because many individuals or organizations 
are more focused on achieving total victory. 

Yet, the pursuit of winning it all comes with 
the inherent risk of losing it all.

Chinese Translation

調解作為解決紛爭的手段,
其最強大的作用在於不必像跟法律每事驗證,
甚至對簿公堂!
尤其是不涉實際金錢利益的事,
有些可以輕輕帶過!
有些可以誇張放大!
為爭一口氣的一方,得到上風; 
也讓為爭一口氣的另一方,也得到上風,
成全其美吧!

然而,現在採用仲裁來解決爭議的人越來越少。
這是因為許多個人或組織更加關注實現全面勝利。
然而,追求全勝的同時,
也伴隨著完全失敗的風險。
