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.

Robert Gromotka - Dreamland

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！
讓祇為爭一口氣的一方，得到上風；　
也讓祇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。

Hopeful Sadness

Something sad is not always depressing.

It may lift you up and bring you hope.

Energy Flow/Ryuichi Sakamoto 

 

Something replaces something

Something will end for 

some uncontrollable reasons.

Forget it.

Start something new!

Song: 清水翔太 (Shota Shimizu)

Lyrics: Shota Shimizu

Composition: Shota Shimizu

The love that ended at the prologue

Has made me a coward.

I can’t even look straight into your eyes,

Standing frozen in place.

To love someone,

Even now, it still scares me.

But I found you.

I found you.

My heart,

Every time it gets closer to you,

Seems to want to say something,

Beating harder and harder.

Now, aiming for a distant, distant future,

I've surely taken the first step.

Now, quietly, love is beginning,

And I will think of you for a long, long time.

The love that ended at the prologue,

I often imagined

A continuation that never existed,

Out of frustration.

Like a movie, bittersweet and tender,

A sweet love story.

Of course, there are challenges,

But it ends happily.

Such a convenient

Story I painted,

And I couldn’t get out of it.

My heart became a maze.

But now, aiming for a distant, distant future,

I’ve finally taken the first step.

Now, surely, I embrace this love,

And I’ll go out to meet love once more.

My heart,

Every time it gets closer to you,

Seems to want to say something,

Beating harder and harder.

Even if my love were to end again

At the prologue, I wouldn’t mind.

I won’t regret falling in love with you.

I will think of you for a long, long time.

序幕中結束的愛情 

因為這讓我成為一個膽小鬼 

我甚至無法直視你的眼睛 

站著不動 

愛一個人意味著什麼 

即使現在我仍然害怕 

我找到你 我找到了 

我的心 每次我靠近你 

看起來他好像告訴我什麼 加強心跳 

現在，朝著遙遠的未來 

我確實踏出了第一步 

如今，愛情已經悄悄開始 

我會想你很久 

一場以序幕結束的愛情 

從未存在過的延續 

我想像得很好。 

我很沮喪 像電影一樣悲傷 

一段溫柔又甜蜜的愛情故事 

當然也有困難，

但是 這是一個幸福的結局 

真是太方便了 

畫一個故事 我無法出去。 

心是迷宮 但目標是很遠很遠的未來 

我終於踏出了第一步 

現在我確信我正在擁抱愛情 

我會再去尋找愛情 

我的心 每次我靠近你 

看起來他好像告訴我什麼 

加強心跳 如果我的愛也是序幕 

我不在乎是否結束 

我不會後悔愛上你 

我會想你很久很久

Opportunity knocks

An opportunity comes!

It is generally advised that

an opportunity comes only once,

therefore, we should seize it.

However, taking an opportunity may not 

lead to success

if we are not ready for it.

Besides, an opportunity may come again.

 John Deigen - Opportunitiy knocks

Fate remains unchanged but adjustable

Fate may be unchangeable, 

but its details should be adjustable—

though we often remain unaware, 

mistaking them as how things were meant to be.

命運或許無法改變，

但其中的細節應該可以稍改，

只是我們往往不自知，

將其誤認為是原本就該如此。

Dream's Drops

Singer: Takako Matsu

Album: Love in the Cherry Blossom Rain

The prank of meeting you was faster than 

the speed of love,

Everything about me changed because of you, 

and I fell in love.

Meeting seemed simple, 

but why is it so helpless now?

Separation repeats endlessly because 

people need the nourishment of love.

How many nights have I spent repeating 

the way of washing my face with tears?

Are lovers who once leaned on each other 

going to separate?

Or will they continue to support each other?

Our encounter has been floating 

in this starry sky.

If fingertips can feel love,

Hearts will naturally gradually open.

Just like a huge wave,

Just like an endless ocean,

Like a non-stop wind, 

I tightly hold you.

Only when being loved 

can I become my true self.

My frozen heart hopes you come to 

embrace and melt it.

When I decide not to see you anymore,

The pain in my heart is indescribable.

If I could gaze at this love with 

the palm of my hand,

You and I would become more free.

I want to convey my endless thoughts 

to let you know,

Even if I lose everything, 

it doesn't matter,

Because this love is everything to me,

Because this love is all of me.

It will also create completely new changes 

in an instant.

I have always firmly believed that 

red petals are gently falling,

A few raindrops still remain on the green leaves.

This is the dream-like proof that I loved you,

And it will gradually disappear with the rising sun.

The prank of meeting you was faster than 

the speed of love,

Everything about me changed, 

and the two of us gradually fell in love...

I want to convey my endless thoughts to 

let you know,

Even if I lose everything, 

it doesn't matter,

Because this love is all of me.

At that time, 

it will also produce completely new changes.

I want to convey my endless thoughts to 

let you know,

Even if I lose everything, 

it doesn't matter,

Because this love is everything to me.

At that time, 

it will also produce completely new changes.

I have always firmly believed......

夢的點滴

歌手: 松隆子

專輯: 愛在櫻花雨紛飛

和你相逢的惡作劇比戀愛的速度都還要快

我的一切都因你而改變 和你墜入情網

相逢看似簡單 但是如今為何又是如此無奈呢？

離別不斷的重複 只因為人需要愛情的滋潤

多少個夜晚 我重複著以淚洗面的方式度過

曾經相依相偎的戀人 是要分離？

還是要繼續相扶相持？

你我的邂逅一直飄蕩在這星空中

如果指尖可以感覺到愛的話

心扉自然能夠漸漸敞開

就像巨大的波浪一般

就像無邊無際的大海一般

就像刮不停的風一樣的將你緊緊抱住

每當被愛的時候 才會變成真實的自我

我冰凍的心更希望你來擁抱融化

當我決定不再見你的時候

心中的痛楚不可言喻

如果可以用手掌心來凝視這份愛的話

你我都會變得更自由

想要更加傳達我無盡的思緒讓你知道

就算失去一切也無妨

因為這份愛就是我的一切

因為這份愛戀就是我的一切

它也會在瞬間之中產生全新的變化

我一直深信不疑 紅色的花瓣輕輕的飄落

翠綠的葉子上還殘留著些許的雨滴

這是我愛過你如夢一般的證明

也將隨著朝陽的升起而逐漸消失

和你相逢的惡作劇比戀愛的速度還要快

我的一切都因你而改變 兩人漸漸墜入情網……

想要更加傳達我無盡的思緒讓你知道

就算失去一切也無妨

因為這份愛戀就是我的一切

到時候它也將會產生全新的變化

想要更加傳達我無盡的思緒讓你知道

就算失去一切也無妨

因為這份愛就是我的一切

到時候它也將會產生全新的變化

我一直深信不疑……

The worth of a heart of gold vs that of a heart of flesh

How much is a heart of gold worth? 

He just says it is worth something.

How much is a heart of flesh worth? 

He just says it is worth anything.

Angus & Julia Stone - Yellow Brick Road

Just a spoon full of sugar makes

the medicine go down

Sweet Mary Jane, won't you lay me down?

Lost my heart in California, lost my mind

Shot me down with a revolver, got me high

Then a heart of gold came on the stereo, 

Mr. Young made me cry

Then all the colors of the rainbow fell in my eyes

I lost my mind long ago

Down that yellow brick road

I lost my mind long ago

Down that yellow brick road

Took a train to the river where 

I dove right in

That skinny dipping girl made 

the blue bird sing

Fell in love in California, 

she blew my mind

She shot me down with her revolver, 

she got me high

Then the weather man came on the radio, 

said there'll be sunshine

Then all the colors of the rainbow 

fell in my mind

I lost my mind long ago

Down that yellow brick road

I lost my mind long ago

Down that yellow brick road
