.
窮小孩也能搭遊輪 學馬術

.
聽到問題的當下我停了一拍心跳
與其說驚訝 更多的是不捨和難過
.
四月的一個週一早晨
我在高雄中學和一些學弟妹分享我的生活
我說要把握時間 活在當下
也說要無愧於心 逐己所愛
.
我告訴其中一部分的音樂班同學
喜歡主修樂器的話請繼續享受 努力
根本不喜歡音樂的話
現在掉頭才不會誤了剩下的青春
.
我相信學弟妹都有認真聽我的分享
才會在結束後提出對我的問題
而且有好幾個人提出類似的問題
令我錯愕又不捨的問題
「是不是因為學長的職業是牙醫師 收入不錯所以才能追逐自己的興趣？」
在他們的教育和認知中 收入竟優先於興趣
.
感謝學弟在提問的時候有強調『提問時沒有冒犯的意思』 而不是酸溜溜的質疑
我執著於這個問題一週之久
然後請老師幫我向學弟妹轉達以下幾點：
.
1.我看過很多快樂的人 成功的人 都是追求自己熱愛的事物 發光發熱 同時藉此賺取生活費 因應社會 該職業的社經地位 也許高 也許低 但都是滿足快樂的�.
２.高收入的人不在少數 就以牙醫為例 難道是所有牙醫都有追求自己喜歡的事物嗎？都幸福美滿？身體健康？我想告訴你們的是：我從興趣中找到快樂和滿足 所以分享給你們 若非為了向升學關口的你們分享職業特色 我根本懶得提牙醫這塊 因為那不是我熱衷的事情 應該由熱衷於牙科治療的誰向你們口沫橫飛地說�.
3.錢是我們生活中的一部分 就只是一小部分 不是全部 也不是必要的 我們一定比上不足比下有餘 我個人喜歡往下比 因為更容易讓我感到滿足 往上比的話我可真窮 買不起豪宅 沒有跑車 遊艇 也不能任性地說不上班就不上班 說買奢侈品就買奢侈品
如果我們的水很多 可能可以裝滿大碗公 如果我們的水很少 可以換成一個瘦瘦高高的玻璃杯 也可以有一樣的水位高度 那代表著快樂和滿足的程度 在自己的能力範圍 盡該盡的責任 享受能夠享受的舒適 公寓 大樓 豪宅 別墅 各有合適的住客 然而都是一個安全舒服的家�.
最後要提 如果你的夢想是搭豪華郵輪 除了先攢足船票的錢 也可以應徵船上服務生的工作
又例如我大學的時候沒錢學馬術 我願意刷馬 掃馬廄一個下午 換得半小時的騎乘機會
.�祝各位善良勇敢 不枉此生

First of all, this article is too long for me to translate properly @@
So I will summarize it short and please forgive my grammar mistakes 😅
.
I was in my alma mater, Kaohsiung Senior High School, to give a speech to the students.
I shared with them my philosophy of life and suggest them follow their hearts, live in the present moment, do not regret.
.
I told students who majored in music, to keep enjoy in music and to work hard with their beloved musical instrument, but be brave to quit if this was not what they did enjoy in. Maybe they were forced by the society, parents or anything. Now is the most early time to save the rest of theirs youth from such a burden.
.
I knew they did listen carefully, that’s why they asked me some questions.
Many of them got the same question, which made me astonished and a bit sad,
“Do you think being a dentist with high income is the key enabling you to be engaged in your hobbies?”
Does this question mean they believe one’s income is more important than what one is interested in?
.
I cared about this question so much for one week after the speech.
And I asked their teacher to pass on to the cute and young, and maybe perplexed, students as following,
.
1.I’ve seen many people who are happy and successful. They are devoted to what they love and get money for living from it. He or she might be rich or poor, upper class or lower class, depending on the definition of the society, but their contentment and joy cannot be defined�.
2. There are a lot of people with high income. Take dentists as an example, is every dentist looking for what he loves? Or happy? Healthy? I find my happiness from my hobbies, that’s why I share this with you. Dentistry should be shared by some dentist who are enthusiastic about dentistry, not me. I shared my occupation to you only because you are facing the college entrance timing.�.
3. Money is a part of our lives, a little part of our lives. Not the whole life, and not necessary either. We are richer than many people, and at the same time, poorer than many people. I would rather compare myself with those poorer than me, because that makes me feel better, and feeling is the most important thing for a person. When I compare myself with those rich men, I am nothing, I can’t afford a villa, a personal airplane, a yacht.
If we have a lot of water, we can fill a big pot. If we have little water, we can fill a thin glass and reach the same height of water level, which represents the degree of contentment.
Make clear who we are, and take our responsibility, and enjoy what we deserve.
There are different people for different places, apartments, condominium, mansion, villa, however, the common point of them are being a nice and safe cozy home.
.
If you want to get on a cruise ship, you can earn enough money for the ticket or get the job as a waiter on the ship.
When I couldn’t afford the fee for equestrian class, I worked in the stable and took care of the horses for an afternoon to get the chance to ride the horse for half an hour
.
May you kind and brave, enjoy the life with no regret

Back to One album track 7 - One

Wordplay in Chinese: one and two. I laid out the sequence of the ride of romance with fragments of stories, moment after moment, but I think u can shuffle them and tell your own version if you wish. String quartet, piano, heartache, inspiration from the love poems of Dalai Lama II, here’s the ash of my love stories.

One
(Chet Lam)

Love at first sight
One heart skips a beat
One casual encounter
One night talking heart to heart
One moment of connection
One new episode
One is tired, looking to rejuvenate
One is curious, looking for excitement
Two bodies
One shadow

One way street
One naked heart
One cannot stop searching
One beloved face
One full moon
A lifetime of longing
One is counting on the strength of love
One is afraid of the power of distance
One happiness concerns two

One keeps going
Feeling time
One keeps thinking
Love deepened
I will remember how your tears nourished my eyes
One falls asleep
Two meet in dreams

One promise held by only one
What’s the point
One decision
One plane ticket
One moment of heartache
One calls it quit
One doesn’t want to let go
One love cannot survive two worlds

One keeps going
Doing time
One keeps thinking
Feelings fade away
You will remember how my tears nourished your eyes
Two fall asleep
One leaves

One keeps going
Feeling time
One keeps thinking
Love deepened
I will remember how your years nourished my eyes
One falls sleep
Two meet in dreams

Love at first sight
Two become strangers
One lifetime flashed away

《思源》專輯第七首：一

多年前唯一一次跟謝安琪錄音室的合作，她的聰明與感性永遠恰到好處，她的版本是心痛的證據，多年之後我自己重新演繹，在曲詞裡發現了不同的層次。這首創作的誕生，是因為我讀到了達賴喇嘛二世的詩：一見如故，再見陌路。弦樂、鋼琴、一和二的文字遊戲，給我四分鐘，不枉過去的每一次心動。

一
（曲詞：林一峰）

一見如故 一個心跳 偶然的相遇
一夜傾訴 一陣悸動 一段新插曲
誰人累了停歇一陣子
誰人好奇一直在尋覓
兩個身體映成一個影子

一路走來 一顆真心 追求沒停止
一張臉孔 一輪明月 一輩子心事
誰人憧憬感情的毅力
誰人害怕距離的威力
一種幸福卻是兩個人的事

走着走着走着走着感受着時間
想着想着想着想着思念深一點
我會記得你的淚
曾經濕了我的眼
一個人入睡 兩人夢裏見

一個承諾 一人堅守 有什麼意思
一個決心 一張機票 心痛一陣子
誰人狠下心到此為止
誰人不甘心只能到此
一段感情經不起兩種相思

走着走着走着走着承受着時間
想着想着想着想着感受少一點
你還記得我的淚
曾經濕了你的眼
兩個人入睡 一個人走遠

走着走着走着走着感受着時間
想着想着想着想着體會深一點
我會記得你的淚
曾經濕了我的眼
一個人入睡 兩人夢裏見

一見如故 再見陌路
一生一瞬間

#思源 #一 #達賴喇嘛 #謝安琪

親愛的寶貝，六歲生日快樂～今年也是你在上小學前的最後一個生日，偶爾還可以像個大寶寶一樣的抱著你也不害躁，你也在今年掉了三顆牙，大臼齒也長出來了，有了很多新的興趣，像是跳舞跟圍棋。這次生日在我們喜歡的餐廳吃你最愛的鬆餅跟爸爸最愛的費城三明治，還有一些看著你長大的叔叔阿姨們，和疼愛你的乾爹，及爺爺奶奶一起渡過。希望你很開心，也希望你生日的這一天和往後的每一天，都健康平安快樂🥳
還有你在心裡不好意思，而沒有說出來的願望，希望I Pad遊戲可以儲值以外😆還偷偷跟我們說，希望我們三個人永遠都不會老，就像現在的樣子一樣，因為你不希望爸爸媽媽老了以後離你而去🥺（打著打著怎麼有點想哭）
希望你一直保有現在純真的樣子，爸爸媽媽雖然會老，但永遠愛你❤️❤️❤️

為了他，飛去東京好幾次，不過還是分手了。

遠在東京的他，身邊不乏漂亮的女孩，吃壽喜燒、逛美術館、打網球，從來不曾落單。一天晚上，他傳了在路邊逗貓的照片給她，暈黃的路燈照著他與貓，微醺的側臉藏不住滿臉的笑意。

「誰幫你拍的？」，她問。
「這很重要嗎 ？ 為什麼妳關心的都是這種事 ？」，話筒裡的他，聽起來格外激動。

「你知道有很多女生跟我告白嗎？」，分手前他對她說。 「因為知道妳會反應很大，所以我從來也不想跟妳說。」

分手滿一年了，她常常想：當初是不是只要我夠信任他，我們就不會分手了？

Bingo 翻譯這首歌時，一直想起我好姐妹的這段感情。

真傻。

擔心，是因為在乎對方；憂慮，是因為害怕失去。
那些脆弱與傷口，都是愛過的證據。

這首歌的翻譯，獻給我勇敢的閨蜜。

附上歌詞：
找不到一條適合的潮流
I can’t find any suitable runnel


去容納從我眼中 落下的痛
Where I can drain off / my tears of pain


當堅強被所有人們歌頌
When everyone says I’m tough and brave


我怎麼好意思說 Oh~ 我難過
How can I confess / oh I’m distressed


於是在愛情裡頭 漸漸學會了沉默
So we don’t talk anymore / to our beloved ones


我們暗自爭奪 叫優越感的糖果
We are secretly fighting for / a sense of superiority


誰都不甘示弱
Won’t play second fiddle




如果我沒有傷口 算不算一種
If I were not vulnerable / Would I achieve a goal?


漂亮的成就 (誰會稱讚我)
Would I be wonderful?


如果我沒有傷口 又何必擔憂
If I were not vulnerable / I wouldn’t be troubled


勇氣會出走
Courage may be gone


找不到一個合適的鏡頭
I can’t find a lens which is suitable


去粉飾從你眼中 看見的我
Making me look like a rose / oh in your eyes


當完美被放大檢視以後
When people say I’m perfect without flaws


再包紮就顯得我 Oh~ 太沒用
My bandages should be taken off / oh play it cool


於是在愛情裡頭 漸漸遺忘了呼救
So we forget to seek help / from our beloved ones


我們相互推託 名為寂寞的皮球
Loneliness we refuse to feel / It’s so unbearable


誰都不肯罷手
No one wanna let go


如果我沒有傷口 算不算一種
If I were not vulnerable/ Would I achieve a goal?


漂亮的成就
Would I be wonderful?


如果我沒有傷口 是否才足夠
If I were not vulnerable / Would I be capable


才足夠 做你的對手
Capable of / competing with you oh


究竟為何而相愛 為了什麼而結伴
I wonder why we fell in love / why we held hands together


還原最初的依賴 是我們都不勇敢
It turns out we were deep in love / because we were insecure


若要重新再相愛 撕開包裝是答案
Being candid’s the answer / if we get back together


不避諱我的醜態 呼吸才能更自在
Stop hiding all my dark sides / so we can breathe easier


如果我沒有傷口
If I were not vulnerable


就無法感受 你會心疼我
That you care for me / I would never know


如果我沒有傷口
If I were not vulnerable


我們怎麼懂 溫柔地相擁
How to gently hug / we would never know
