Chapters continued....
Chapter 7. (中文翻譯在下面）
To me, another form of Self Love is also levelling up yourself and bettering yourself in all aspects throughout time. Which is why every year I set small and big goals for myself to accomplish....for example, like learning one new instrument each year, or accomplishing a brand new fitness goal. I always feel like room for improvement always exists, it doesn’t matter what pace you go at...just go at your own comfortable pace.....but never let yourself have the mindset where you think “you’re the best”, because that will only stop you from improving. What you gain from levelling yourself up will always stay with you, and make you a better person, and no one can steal that away from you. So level yourself up now! 😝🤟🏻🌈
.
對我來說，增值自己是另一種Self Love的形式。所以每一年我都會給自己定一些大和小的目標，例如每年學一個新樂器.....或者練馬甲線。我常常覺得任何時候都”還會”有「進步的空間」，進步的速度不重要，只要你努力，就隨著自己舒服的速度就可以了，但永遠不要讓自已有一個「我已經超好」的心態，這樣只會讓你停下來不再進步。自己的進步和學到的才能是會跟著我們一輩子，別人拿不走的，所以......讓自己進步起來！耶！💪🏻🌈🥳

Farewell Lee Teng-hui
告別前總統李登輝

來讀華爾街日報獨家

Lee Teng-hui may be remembered as "Mr. Democracy," as some journalists have labeled him, but a better moniker would be "Mr. Taiwan Identity."
人們對李登輝先生的印象或許是一些記者為他貼上的標籤「民主先生」，但更好的稱呼會是「台灣身份先生」

-democracy: 民主；民主思想；民主政體；民主國家
-moniker: 綽號、稱號
-identity: 身份；特性


The real father of Taiwan's democratic transition was the late President Chiang Ching-kuo, who released political prisoners and allowed opposition politicians to contest elections beginning in 1980. Mr. Lee continued the process, to his credit, but his main contribution was to accomplish the "Taiwanization" of the KMT and the government, and to lead the Taiwanese people in a search for their own identity.
台灣真正的民主轉型之父是已故的蔣經國總統，他從1980年開始釋放政治犯，並允許對立的政客參與選舉。而李先生繼續這段轉型過程也功不可沒，但他的主要貢獻是完成國民黨與政府的「台灣化」，以及帶領台灣人民找尋自己的身份認同。

-political prisoner: 政治犯
-to his credit: 形容某人配受讚譽和尊重，實至名歸
-contribution: 貢獻；捐款


Mr. Lee epitomizes the contradictions of being Taiwanese. When he was born the island was Japanese territory, and as a result he speaks Japanese more fluently than Mandarin. He understood the confused identity of an ethnically and culturally Chinese people separated from their compatriots by a very different history.
李先生是身為台灣人的矛盾之縮影。當他出生時，該島是日本領土，因此他說日語比講中文更流利。他理解這群在種族與文化上屬於華人，但因著極為不同的歷史而跟同胞分離所導致的身份困惑。

-epitomize: 成為...的典範、典型或縮影
-contradiction: 矛盾
-compatriot: 同胞


For the Japanese occupation was quickly followed by a Chinese occupation that was even more brutal. When the young Lee Teng-hui was a college student in Taipei during the white terror of 1947, he was interrogated for several days by the nationalist security forces for having attended an underground study group.
因爲在日本佔領後，緊接著國民黨政府的接管更為激烈。在1947年的白色恐怖時期，年輕的李登輝還是大學生，他因參加地下讀書會而被國民黨維安部隊審問了好幾天。

-occupation: 佔領、佔據
-white terror: 白色恐怖
-interrogate: 詢問、審問

<心得>

[有中文字幕] 台灣以什麼聞名？

Although Taiwan is a relatively small country, it has managed to accomplish some astounding feats.

In this video, I talk about some of Taiwan's more well-known accomplishments such as Acer, Asus, HTC, Taipei 101, food, night markets, the National Palace Museum, LCD & OLED displays, microchips, circuitboards and more!

A worthy mention: TSMC is one of the world’s largest independent semiconductor foundries.

Tea - Can’t believe I didn’t mention this. Taiwanese tea is fairly well-known, too.

"Something Just Like This" - originally by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay

Gymkhana 金卡納初體驗，騎乘方式和技巧和街道跟賽道大有不同。雖然繞得一蹋糊塗，但還是有感受到計時賽的刺激。體驗後更能體會日本那些Gymkahana影片的騎士是多麼的神。要利用整個龍頭打死過彎，真的是個要突破心理障礙的騎乘技巧...My first Gymkahna experience was a bit of a mess, especially when I realized it really requires a different set of riding skills to accomplish such a technical and tight course. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun and really felt the competitiveness during time trial. 10/10, would do again and practice that unnerving "full-lock" turn.

Coach recommended I use 2nd gear and less clutch after the event. I will try that next time. 場地教練建議我用二檔 (整場我都用一檔跑），並少用離合器，下次活動再試試看。
