✨ YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR LIFE!

As a coach, meeting people who want to change their life is my daily work.

I call this “moving from Point A to Point B.”

Point A is where you are, with your current frustrations, problems, and challenges.

Point B is where you want to be, the life you love, the future your heart desires.

In a perfect universe, everyone would be sailing effortlessness from Point A to Point B. But this is not the universe we live in.

In our magnificent, messy universe, sometimes we don’t know what our Point B is. Other times, we are stuck in point A, held back by different forces, unable to budge an inch. And very often, we’re not moving as powerfully as we know we could.

I often said to a potential client that: “As your coach, I’m not going to say: ‘Hop on my back, Susan! I’ll carry you from Point A to Point B on hyper-speed!”

That always gets a good laugh. But they know there’s truth in it.

They know that change is hard work and that work must come from them.

But what they may not know, like Bria when she first met me, was that real change starts from within.

Most problems in our life are created by ourselves, not our job, our boss, or our mother-in-law.

𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞, 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐬.

This can be a depressing statement, but it can also be empowering.

If we can create our problems, we can also make our blessing. We just need to know where to focus our creative power.

昨晚拜讀翁達瑞教授的文章，說句實話，高虹安立委的學歷並沒有什麼太值得爭議的地方。我瀏覽了一下高虹安的公開學術資料，頂多就是U Cincinnati的排名確實比較普通，而她的學術著作表現也不是頂尖而已。畢論有文法錯誤的地方，也不是什麼致命傷。至於她和指導教授處得好不好，這更是無跡可考的事情。
​
當然翁達瑞教授並沒有這個本意，但有些人用彭文正式的「假博士」指控來質疑高虹安，我個人覺得是太過火了。當然，博士學歷造假或論文抄襲，那是牽涉到學術倫理與誠信的問題，是一開始就不可以犯的錯誤，跟學術能力無關。但「博士學歷是真的，只是學術能力馬馬虎虎」，我不認為這構成什麼大問題，一直追打下去只是模糊焦點而已。
​
博士學歷對於政治，本來就不是什麼必需品。就拿美國來說，從總統到參眾兩院到五十州州長，落落長一大串民選政治人物裡面，有研究型博士學位（PhD、MD-PhD、PhD in Law，請注意JD和MD不是研究型博士學位）的人，大概十隻手指頭數得出來。
​
這一點都不奇怪。研究型博士，本來就是培養皓首窮經，旨在把事物之道格式化、理論化的學術研究人才。而民選政治人物講求的是人與人的實際接觸，不講太多高深的政治理論，而是在實踐中不斷適應成長。這兩條職涯路線本就搭不在一起，甚至可以說是互相矛盾的。陳建仁、李遠哲、翁啟惠來當區域立委，表現不見得會好到哪裡去。
​
但或許是儒家士大夫觀念使然，「博士學歷」這樣的人設，在台灣的選舉當中還是相當吃香。高虹安就很大程度受益於這個「博士級大數據專家」的人物設定。事實上民眾黨也很想把自己定位在這種「小清新知識藍」的路線上面。
​
這沒什麼不可以的。雖說民進黨已經取代國民黨、整個攻佔了「執政菁英」的生態位，但台灣的中產階級知識份子界還是偏藍底的；「知識藍／姿勢藍」光環雖已褪色，不足以執政但還有一定的市佔率。
​​
正也因為如此，高虹安跟朱學恆的「塔綠班」事件，才更令人感到哭笑不得。「塔綠班」事件發生到現在好幾天了，我個人都沒辦法評論什麼，因為整件事情瞎到我不知道該說些什麼才好。
​
「塔綠班」事件是嚴重破壞高虹安與民眾黨的人設的。即便我那些滿滿黃白藍工程師粉的新竹同學圈，對高虹安此舉也很難吞下去。如果高虹安真的覺得自己的博士學歷，是重要的政治資產的話，她應該做的事情，是怎麼樣讓自己的見識配得上自己的學術頭銜。但一段時間看下來，高虹安常在立院質詢台上擺出知識份子的架子，深入看她的質詢卻往往失準而謬誤百出。
​
其實我是有點可憐高虹安的。她在立院的表現，配不上她「博士級大數據專家」的人設；而她糟糕的表現與議題掌握能力，也讓老東家郭董對她有點敬而遠之。情急之下，她會想要從鄉民的聲量裡面尋找出路，也是可以理解的。
​
短期來看，跟朱學恆合作可以給自己低迷的聲量打雞血。但是這種廉價聲量就像吸毒一樣，可以帶來一時的興奮度，但也宰制了你往後的人生。
​
人會說話，但人也會被自己說出來的話制約。「塔綠班」「聖蟑士」，我們姑且不談這些詞眼審不審美，這樣的語言其實反映出來的是一種陰暗的心態。
​
當你在講「塔綠班」的時候，其實是把自己毫無必要地框在了一個受害者哭哭的心態裡。當你在講「聖蟑士」的時候，就像上報主筆李濠仲先生所憂心的那樣，你已經不把對方當人看；而政治是人與人的溝通，當你把對方「非人化」的時候，等於是自己斬斷了溝通的可能性。
​
民進黨會拿著槍押著你不准提出異議嗎？顯然不是。民進黨還是一個民主制度框架下的政黨，甚至很多時候，是拘泥民主到一種優柔寡斷、軟弱退讓的程度，藻礁議題就是最好的例子。
​
如果你真的想要戰勝民進黨，大可以堂堂正正地，提出跟民進黨不同的見解，民進黨是封不了你的口的。但有一點很重要的就是，你要表現出政治上的成熟度。
​
劉仲敬說得很好：「政治上成熟的人首先就是要講替代品。我要反對什麽，我一定要拿出一個比它更好的東西，這就叫做政治上的成熟，否則你一定會越鬧越糟。你鬧掉了原來的東西，多半就會得到一個比原來更糟的東西。」
​
巨嬰的哭鬧是最大聲的，但它除了能把所有人鬧到心浮氣躁以外，無法給台灣這個大家庭帶來任何的建設性。當你用「塔綠班」的語言來把自己框限在受害者心態，再用「聖蟑士」的語言來把對方非人化、非溝通化的時候，你所呈現出來的形象，就是政治上不成熟的巨嬰。而無法長大的巨嬰，是扛不起執政的重責大任的，甚至連一個合格的在野黨都當不起。
​
我也很明白，我講了這麼多只是徒勞。現在檯面上看起來，也只有民進黨、台灣基進的心態比較成熟可期待而已。藍白黃等黨已經自己把自己陷入了「巨嬰化」的路線，救不回來了。這條死路走到最後，就會像劉仲敬講的：「傳統的忠誠維持不了一代人的時間…很快就要變成影響力跟現在的新黨差不多，活動方式跟清末的同盟會差不多，要依靠類似天安社這樣的黑社會組織到處刷存在感」。
​
我們以為從一個「博士級大數據專家」立委身上，可以看到更多政治上的成熟度。但現在看起來，我們恐怕再一次失望了。

There's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.

通往目的地的路不止一條，有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步，然後再邁出下一步，幾年下來，將會成為巨大成就。

I didn’t meet my father until I was 6 years old. My parents had a comfortable, middle-class life in Shanghai, or as close as you could get under communism. But they always wanted to live overseas, and just before I was born, my dad came to Sydney to set things up. I don’t know why, but in the end, my mother and I didn’t join him until I was 6.

•a middle-class life 中產階級生活
•set things up 打點一切
•live overseas 往海外生活
•in the end 最後 (表達在經過一段時間或一連串事件之後的結果)

直到六歲前我都未曾見過父親。我的雙親在上海過著舒適的中產階級生活，或著說，在共產階級下所能得到的最接近的生活。他們一直響往海外生活，就在我出生前，我父親來到雪梨打點一切。但不知何故，直到六歲那年我與母親才終於與父親團聚。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Unfortunately, half a year after we arrived, he left us. That was a huge shock. Our transition had already been quite difficult, as we both didn't speak English. Also, as Shanghai was such a big bustling city, Sydney felt a bit like the countryside, especially on the weekends, as no shops were open back then!

•shock 令人震驚的事件（或經歷）；驚愕，震驚 (come as a great shock 讓人倍感震驚)
•transition 轉變；過渡
•a bustling city 繁華都會

不幸的是，就在我跟母親抵達半年後，父親離開了我們。這是個巨大的打擊，因爲我們不會說英文，在適應過渡期本就已過得相當艱辛。此外，不同於上海的繁華都會，雪梨更像鄉下，尤其在週末，那時連商店都不開門。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

We were very much reliant on my dad, not only financially, but also as a conduit into the wider community. So to have that broken was quite distressing. I remember Mum crying a lot. As we had become socially isolated, we didn’t find out anything about Centrelink, so we survived on her savings for a while, and then got some help from her family back in China.

•be reliant on… 依賴...
•a conduit into 進入...的渠道
•distressing (adj.) 令人苦惱的,令人擔憂的
•become socially isolated 變得孤立於社會
•survive on her savings 僅靠的她積蓄過日子

我們相當依賴我父親，不僅是經濟，他也是我們進入更廣泛社區的渠道。因此，當局面被打破時令人相當痛苦，我還記得母親時常哭泣。由於我們孤立於社會，所以我們並不知道澳洲社會福利聯絡中心 （Centrelink）的任何資訊，僅靠母親的積蓄支撐了一段時間，然後從母親在中國的娘家得到一些幫助。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Eventually, Mum moved us down to Melbourne, where we were able to make some new networks and family friendships. But I was bullied a bit at school about things like my food and clothing! Whenever someone bullied me, I would defend myself, but because I didn’t have the language skills to explain to the teacher why, I got in trouble quite a bit. I ended up having to move school 3 times before I came to Balwyn Primary School, which was relatively multicultural.

•be able to 能夠
•make new networks 建立新的人脈，關係網
•be bullied 被霸凌
•language skills 語言能力
•get in trouble 惹上麻煩
•end up 最後處於；最後成爲；以…告終
•relatively 相對地
•multicultural 多元文化的

最後，母親帶著我搬遷到墨爾本，在那我們能夠建立起新的網絡與家庭情誼。然而。我在學校飽受霸凌，例如我的食物及衣物。每當有人霸凌我，我會自我防衛，但我的語言技巧不足以向老師解釋事發原因，因此常常陷入麻煩。後來我不得不再三轉學，直到就讀相對多元文化的博文小學（Balwyn Primary School）。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

After that, I did alright. Music featured very prominently in my life. I had started learning the violin from the age of 2.5 years old and even with all the troubles that were going on in my life, had somehow still kept up with it. As a result, I got a music scholarship to Trinity Grammar School. But even there I used to get into quite a lot of mischief, and would often skip school to go to the movies.

•do alight 過得不錯，做的不錯
•feature (v.) 以…為特色；給…以顯著的地位
•prominently 重要地；著名地；突出地，顯眼地

之後，我便過得不錯。音樂在我生活中佔有重要的一席之地，我從兩歲半開始學習小提琴，儘管生活中事事不如意，我依然堅持不輟。因此，我獲得三一文法學校（ Trinity Grammar School）的音樂獎學金。但即使在那，我也常惡作劇、逃學看電影。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

By the end of year 11, I was told I would have to either repeat the year, or consider going to another school, which was quite humiliating for my mum. I decided to move school and surprisingly, I ended up doing quite well in year 12! As a result, I ended up getting into a double degree in Law and Music at Monash.

•repeat the year 留級 ; 重唸一年
•humiliating 令人感到恥辱的，丟臉的

11年級結束時，我被告知要麽被留級，要麼考慮轉學，這對我母親來說相當丟人。我決定轉學，而令人驚訝的是，我在12年級的時候表現優異，最後錄取蒙納士大學法律與音樂雙學位。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

When I started, my first thought was that I didn’t belong because I had done so badly in school up to year 11 and everyone else seemed so smart. But I put my head down, got through it, and ended up getting a job in the legal department of a major manufacturing company, which was a different approach to what most law students do.

•do not belong 不屬於這
•put my head down 埋頭苦幹
•the legal department of ...的法律部門
•a different approach 不同途徑
•approach （思考問題的）方式，方法，態度

當我開始進入大學，最初的想法是我不屬於這，因為我在11年級前都表現不佳，而這裡的人似乎都聰明絕頂。但我埋頭苦幹，咬牙撐過，最後在一家大型製造公司的法律部門找到工作，這與多數法律系學生的途徑不同。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but I learned a lot of foundational business, legal and corporate communication skills. After that I worked in corporate governance in RMIT, then started to moonlight as a lecturer in the Law Faculty. Eventually, they asked me if I wanted to do a PhD and I blindly said yes! I next worked at Swinburne University, and then was head-hunted to lead the corporate legal team at the Commercial Passenger Vehicles Commission.

•foundational 基礎的
•communication skills 溝通技巧
•corporate governance
•moonlight (v.) （尤指瞞著僱主）從事第二職業，兼職
•headhunt (v.) 物色（人才）； 挖角
•legal team 法律團隊

我非常喜歡這份工作，這是份辛苦的工作，但我學習了很多基礎商業、法律以及公司溝通技巧。之後我在皇家墨爾本理工大學（ RMIT）從事公司治理工作，並開始兼職擔任法律系講師。後來他們問我是否想要讀博士，我便盲目地答應了。接下來，我在斯威本大學（Swinburne University）工作，再被挖角到商用小客車委員會領導法律團隊。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

I had a good life, but after a while, I realised I wanted a different kind of job. I could see my seniors were making a lot of money but that their family life was not that good. And looking at my own upbringing, I wanted to be the kind of father who could be present in my own kids’ lives. So I decided on dentistry. It would not only allow me to use the hand skills that I had developed from playing the violin, but also the analytical and reasoning skills that I'd developed in law. Plus it would be flexible, and offer me a stable income and the chance to meet different people every day!

•upbringing 教養
•decide on sth 決定某事或東西
•analytical and reasoning skills 分析和推理能力
•offer a stable income 提供穩定收入

我的生活很不錯，但一段時間後，我意識到自己想要一份不同的工作。我知道前輩們賺了很多錢，但他們的家庭生活並不美滿。看著自己的成長經歷，我想要成為可以在孩子生活中出席的父親，所以我決定改行當牙醫。這項職業能讓我使用從拉小提琴中發展出的手部技巧，也能運用我在法律中發展出的分析與推理技能。此外，這個職業相當靈活，能為我提供穩定收入，並有機會每天與不同的人見面。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

My now fiancée, who was my girlfriend at the time, was also applying for further study, and coincidentally we both got into university in South Australia, so we moved to Adelaide together a few years ago.

•fiancée 未婚妻
•at the time 當時
•apply for 申請
•further study 繼續教育，進修；進一步研究；深造
•coincidentally 碰巧地；巧合地

我的未婚妻，當時的女友，也申請繼續深造，巧的是我們都考上南澳大學（University of South Australia)，所以幾年前一起搬到阿得雷德（ Adelaide）。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

I was lucky to get a university job at Flinders University. Initially, I started out as a casual lecturer in the law school, but I’ve since transitioned into teaching health law and research, and I’m currently writing a few books on the intersection between law and medicine. And also, obviously, trying to finish my dentistry degree!

•start out as… 起初擔任...
•transition into… 轉變到...

我很幸運的在福林德斯大學（Flinders University）找到工作，起初我在法學院擔任臨時講師，但我後來轉換到醫事法教學及研究。目前我正撰寫幾本關於法律與醫學相接的書籍，並努力完成我的牙醫學位。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Mum eventually retrained as a Chinese high school teacher, and she’s still teaching to this day. Like most first generation migrants, she struggled quite a lot, and invested heavily in my success. After we’re married, my fiancée and I are planning to have children, and I’m sure they will have it much easier than I did.

•retrain 重新培養；再培訓；再訓練
•to this day 至今
•first generation migrants 第一代移民
•struggle a lot 掙扎奮鬥許久
•have it much easier 過的比較輕鬆

我的母親最終重新接受培訓，成為一名中文高中老師並執教至今。如同大多數第一代移民，她掙扎奮鬥許久，並為我的成功投資甚多。我與未婚妻打算婚後生孩子，我確信孩子會過的比我輕鬆得多。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Still, a lot of the failures that I’ve had in my life have really informed a lot of my successes. Looking back, I wouldn't really want to change that to have a smoother life.

•inform [正式] 影響某人的態度或意見
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/inform

•have a smoother life 有一個更順遂的人生

我的生活中的種種失敗確實為我的成功提供借鑑。回首過去，我不會想要改變那些坎坷經歷去擁有一個更順遂的人生。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Over the years, I've learned that perseverance is very important. I hope that through telling my story, I can be an example to others who might be in a similar position as I was: to show that there's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.

•over the years 多年來
•perseverance 不屈不撓，堅持不懈
•be an example 成為榜樣
•be in a similar position 處於相似的處境
•down the road/line/track 將來(的路)

多年來，我學到堅持不懈是至關重要的。我希望透過講述自己的故事，能成為其他可能與我有相似處境的人的榜樣：向他們展示通往目的地的路不止一條，有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步，然後再邁出下一步，幾年下來，將會成為巨大成就。

How to write Kimigayo with gold brush | His Imperial Majesty's Reign | The national anthem of Japan

"Kimigayo" (君が代, Japanese pronunciation: [kimiɡajo]; "His Imperial Majesty's Reign") is the national anthem of Japan. The lyrics of "Kimigayo" are probably the oldest among the world's national anthems, and with a length of 32 characters, they are also the world's shortest. The lyrics are from a waka poem written by an unnamed author in the Heian period (794–1185), and the current melody was chosen in 1880, replacing an unpopular melody composed by John William Fenton eleven years earlier. Its length of 11 measures is currently among the world's shortest. While the title "Kimigayo" is usually translated as "His Imperial Majesty's Reign", no official translation of the title or lyrics has been established in law.

From 1888 to 1945, "Kimigayo" served as the national anthem of the Empire of Japan. When the Empire was dissolved following its surrender at the end of World War II, the State of Japan succeeded it in 1945. This successor state was a parliamentary democracy, and the polity therefore changed from a system based on imperial sovereignty to one based on popular sovereignty. However, the U.S. occupation forces allowed Emperor Hirohito to retain the throne and "Kimigayo" remained the de facto national anthem. The passage of the Act on National Flag and Anthem in 1999 recognized it as the official national and imperial anthem.
