·人生苦短，你得盡興

熱鬧場結束了
我們的這些演員
我有話在先，原都是一些精靈
現在都隱去了，變空無所有
正像這一場幻象的虛無飄渺
高聳入雲的樓台、輝煌的宮闕
莊嚴的廟宇、浩茫的大地本身
地面的一切，也就會雲散煙消
也會像這個空洞的洋洋大觀
不留一絲的痕跡
我們就是
夢幻所用的材料，一場睡夢
環抱了短促的人生。

-莎士比亞《暴風雨》

原文：

Our revels now are ended.
These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits,and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind.We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

-By William Shakespeare《The Tempest》

#CanWomenHaveItAll #1Q
社會常常告訴我們『被愛的規則』。想被愛的女人，請少說話多微笑，身材麻煩要符合一個不切實際的標準，而想法？盡量不要有吧。

這是很悲哀的謊言。

我們不應該因為渴望被愛而把自己的獨特隱藏起來。我們有資格做任何夢，更有資格去完成這些夢。

就像全世界的雪花沒有一片的圖案跟另外一片一模一樣，你的故事獨一無二。而正是這些似乎沒有重量的雪花有能力堆積成山。

除了相信自己，相信我們能給彼此的力量。
改變規則，從第一片雪花開始。

Society often tells us the “rules for being loved”. Women who want love, please speak less and smile more, keep your figure in accordance with today’s impossible standards, and opinions? Keep those to a minimum.

This is a tragic lie.

We shouldn’t have to hide our uniqueness in hopes of being loved. We not only have the right to dream any dream, but the right to achieve it.

Just like in all the world no two snowflakes contain identical patterns, your story is one-of-a-kind. And it’s precisely these seemingly insubstantial snowflakes that have the power to build mountains.

Besides believing in yourself, believe in the power you have to inspire others.

Change the rules, one snowflake at at time.

隨著DSE放榜的逼近，我人雖在紐約，心卻繫香港。每天都會跟「活學」的戰友們保持聯繫，務求為等待放榜的同學們的一切支援工作準備妥當。教了差不多二十年的書，我從來都不會跟等待放榜的學生們說些無關痛癢的鼓勵說話，因為，我自己做人做事一向都是：盡了力，就無悔。無論結果如何，最重要的是，想清楚，計劃好下一步該如何好好走下去。最重要的是要時刻提醒自己：天無絕人之路，而身邊有很多愛你的人，跟你風雨同路。我女兒紐約公寓的牆上貼著以下字句，我非常認同：大家共勉之。
Always remember you're BRAVER than you believe, STRONGER than you seem, SMARTER than you think & LOVED more than you know.
親愛的DSE考生們，切記：條條大路通羅馬，前面的路，無論有多難走，我們都會陪著你。成績，無論好壞，我們都在。莫忘了，我們都愛你。#一Tann一點英語：無關痛癢=insubstantial, inconsequential ，無悔= no regrets，天無絕人之路=there's always a way out, when one door gets closed, another opens, heaven never seals，條條大路通羅馬=all roads lead to Rome。

I: Will you look right into the camera lens and explain the principle of a glass of water as it applies to kung fu?
B: Well, kung fu, the best example would be a glass of water. Why? Because water is the softest substance in the world, but yet it can penetrate the hardest rock or, anything, granite, you name it. Water also is insubstantial. By that I mean you cannot grasp hold of it. You cannot punch it and hurt it. So every kung fu man is trying to do that - to be soft like water and flexible and adapt itself to the opponent.
I: What’s the difference between a kung fu punch and a karate punch?
B: Well, a karate punch is like an iron bar - wank! A kung fu punch is like an iron chain with an iron ball attached to the end and it go wank! And it hurt inside.

The Batteryheadz Colorguard Ensemble is proud to present its 2014 program, “Shatter”.

Synopsis:

“...There is a moment when all hope disappears, all pride is gone, all expectation, all faith, all desire. I own that moment. It belongs to me. That's when I hear the sound. The sound of a mind breaking.

But it is not a loud crack like when glass shatter into a million pieces; to be broken into fragments or become weak or insubstantial. And it is not something soft and wet like a heart breaking. It is a sound that makes you wonder how much pain a person can endure; a sound that shatters memories and lets the past leak into the present; a sound so high that it ventures into the darker reaches of the mind.

Can you hear it? Someone is curled up in a tiny ball crying softly into an endless night...”


As time went by, this show has been made into a tribute to the recent events of MH17 and MH370.

This show is also dedicated to Rachel Barkley who has passed on due to cancer. The speech that you hear was her final speech before she died. R.I.P Rachel Barkley.

Thank you for watching.
