［翻轉視界 8］逃離禁錮之地：離開北韓我學會自由與憐憫
　
“If you don't know the words, that means you don't understand the concept, and therefore, you don't even realize that concept is even a possibility.” —— human rights activist Yeonmi Park。
　
「如果你不知道某些詞彙，那就意味著你並不了解某些概念，因此你也不會意識到，那些概念可以是一種可能。」——人權鬥士朴延美
　
對出逃前的她而言，自由與溫飽是很奢侈的理念，更無法了解「愛」的全貌。當我們無法得知世界發生了什麼，無法想像那超越自身認知的世界，我們便無法真正地同理他人。今天我想邀請大家，以不同的角度，重新感受自由、溫飽與愛的可貴。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
I was born in 1993 in the northern part of North Korea, in a town called Hyesan, which is on the border with China. I had loving parents and one older sister. Before I was even 10 years old, my father was sent to a labor camp for engaging in illegal trading. Now, by "illegal trading" -- he was selling clogs, sugar, rice and later copper to feed us. In 2007, my sister and I decided to escape. She was 16 years old, and I was 13 years old.
　
1. on the border with 鄰近邊界
2. labor camp 勞改營
3. illegal trading 非法的交易
　
１９９３年我出生在北韓的北部，一個名叫惠山的小鎮，鄰近中國邊界。我有愛我的父母與一位姐姐。在我１０歲大的時候，父親就被送去勞改營，因為他非法買賣一些東西。所謂的非法買賣，其實他是賣一些木鞋、糖、米，之後還賣了銅，只為了餵飽我們。２００７年，姐姐和我決定逃跑。她當時１６歲，而我１３歲。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
I need you to understand what the word "escape" means in the context of North Korea. We were all starving, and hunger means death in North Korea. So it was the only option for us. I didn't even understand the concept of escape, but I could see the lights from China at night, and I wondered if I go where the light is, I might be able to find a bowl of rice. It's not like we had a grand plan or maps. We did not know anything about what was going to happen. Imagine your apartment building caught fire. I mean, what would you do? Would you stay there to be burned, or would you jump off out of the window and see what happens? That's what we did. We jumped out of the house instead of the fire.
　
4. in the context of 在⋯⋯的情境中
5. concept 概念；觀念；思想
6. a grand plan 一個遠大的計畫
7. catch fire 著火
　
你們要知道，「逃跑」這兩字在北韓意味著什麼。我們天天挨餓，而飢餓在北韓意味著死亡。所以逃跑是我們唯一的選擇。我當時還不了解逃跑是什麼意思，但晚上我能看見中國那邊的燈光，我想著如果我能到有光的地方，也許就能找到一碗飯。我們沒有什麼遠大的計畫或地圖。我們完全不知道，接下來會發生什麼事。想像一下，你的公寓失火了，你會怎麼辦？你會坐以待斃，還是跳窗然後再看著辦？我們就是那樣。我們從大樓上跳了下來， 而不是等火燒上來。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
North Korea is unimaginable. It's very hard for me when people ask me what it feels like to live there. To be honest, I tell you: you can't even imagine it. The words in any language can't describe, because it's a totally different planet, as you cannot imagine your life on Mars right now. For example, the word "love" has only one meaning: love for the Dear Leader. There's no concept of romantic love in North Korea. And if you don't know the words, that means you don't understand the concept, and therefore, you don't even realize that concept is even a possibility.
　
8. unimaginable 無法想像
9. no concept of... 沒有⋯的概念
10. romantic love 浪漫愛
　
北韓是難以想像的。對我來說，要回答住在北韓是什麼感覺，非常困難。老實說，我可以告訴各位——你無從想像。沒有任何語言可以描述，因為那是個截然不同的星球，就像你現在無法想像自己在火星上的生活一樣。比如說，「愛」只有一個意思：愛偉大的領袖。在北韓沒有那種浪漫之愛的概念。如果你不知道某些詞彙，那就意味著你並不了解某些概念，因此你也不會意識到，那些概念可以是一種可能。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
Let me give you another example. Growing up in North Korea, we truly believed that our Dear Leader is an almighty god who can even read my thoughts. I was even afraid to think in North Korea. We are told that he's starving for us, and he's working tirelessly for us, and my heart just broke for him. When I escaped to South Korea, people told me that he was actually a dictator, he had cars, many, many resorts, and he had an ultraluxurious life. And then I remember looking at a picture of him, realizing for the first time that he is the largest guy in the picture. And it hit me. Finally, I realized he wasn't starving. But I was never able to see that before, until someone told me that he was fat.
　
11. an almighty god 一個全能的神
12. tirelessly 不屈不撓地；堅忍地
13. a dictator 獨裁者
14. it hit me 突然想到、意識到 
15. resort 度假地（此處係指北韓獨裁者有很多度假別墅）
16. ultraluxurious 極其奢華的
17. have a…life 過著⋯⋯的生活
　
讓我再舉一個例子。在北韓長大，我們真心相信我們偉大的領袖是全能的神，他甚至能看穿我在想什麼。我在北韓甚至不敢思考。我們聽說他為我們挨餓、不眠不休地為我們工作，而我為此感到心痛。我逃到南韓後，有人跟我說他其實是獨裁者，他有很多車、很多很多渡假別墅，他的生活極為奢華。我記得自己看著一張有他的照片，第一次意識到他是照片裡體型最大的那個。這件事讓我大受打擊。那時我才終於了解，他沒有挨餓。但我以前總無法看清這些，直到有人跟我說他很胖，我才恍然大悟。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
Really, someone had to teach me that he was fat. If you have never practiced critical thinking, then you simply see what you're told to see. The biggest question also people ask me is: "Why is there no revolution inside North Korea? Are we dumb? Why is there no revolution for 70 years of this oppression?" And I say: If you don't know you're a slave, if you don't know you're isolated or oppressed, how do you fight to be free? I mean, if you know you're isolated, that means you are not isolated. Not knowing is the true definition of isolation, and that's why I never knew I was isolated when I was in North Korea. I literally thought I was in the center of the universe.
　
18. critical thinking 批判性思考
19. revolution 革命
20. dumb 愚蠢的*
21. oppression 壓迫；壓制；欺壓
22. isolated and oppressed 與世隔絕的與被壓迫的
　
真的，要有人教我，他這樣叫做胖。如果你沒學過批判性思考，你看到的就只會是別人跟你說的。其他人對我提出的大哉問還有：「為何北韓沒有革命？我們傻嗎？為何歷經７０年的壓迫，卻沒人發動革命？」我回答：「如果你不知道自己是奴隸，不知道自己被與世隔絕、壓迫，你要如何為自由而戰？我的意思是，如果你知道自己被與世隔絕，那就表示你並非真的與世隔絕。與世隔絕的真正定義是無知，所以我從不知道，在北韓的我與世隔絕。我真的以為我們是宇宙的中心。

*dumb: https://bit.ly/3fG5XOk
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
So here is my idea worth spreading: a lot of people think humans inherently know what is right and wrong, the difference between justice and injustice, what we deserve and we don't deserve. I tell them: BS. Everything, everything must be taught, including compassion. If I see someone dying on the street right now, I will do anything to save that person. But when I was in North Korea, I saw people dying and dead on the streets. I felt nothing. Not because I'm a psychopath, but because I never learned the concept of compassion. Only, I felt compassion, empathy and sympathy in my heart after I learned the word "compassion" and the concept, and I feel them now.
　
23. inherently 與生俱來地
24. justice and injustice 正義與不義
25. psychopath 精神病患者
26. compassion, empathy and sympathy 憐憫、同理與同情*
　
我覺得值得分享的想法是：很多人以為，人類生來就能分辨是非對錯，懂得正義與邪惡的差別，我們值得被怎樣對待。我跟他們說：放屁。所有的事，所有的事都得經過教導，包含憐憫。如果我現在看見有人在路邊奄奄一息，我會不顧一切來救他。但我在北韓的時候，會眼睜睜看著有人橫死街頭，卻沒有任何感覺。並非因為我是心理病態，而是我從未學過憐憫的概念。只有在我的內心感受到憐憫、同理與同情，我才學會「憐憫」一詞與其概念，而如今我已能感受到這些。
　
*compassion: a strong feeling of sympathy and sadness for the suffering or bad luck of others and a wish to help them

empathy: the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation

sympathy: (an expression of) understanding and care for someone else's suffering
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
Now I live in the United States as a free person.
　
現在我以自由人的身分住在美國。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
And recently, the leader of the free country, our President Trump, met with my former god. And he decided human rights is not important enough to include in his agendas, and he did not talk about it. And it scares me. We live in a world right now where a dictator can be praised for executing his uncle, for killing his half brother, killing thousands of North Koreans. And that was worthy of praise. And also it made me think: perhaps we all need to be taught something new about freedom now. Freedom is fragile. I don't want to alarm you, but it is. It only took three generations to make North Korea into George Orwell's "1984." It took only three generations. If we don't fight for human rights for the people who are oppressed right now who don't have a voice, as free people here, who will fight for us when we are not free? Machines? Animals? I don't know.
　
27. agenda 議程
28. be praised for 因⋯⋯獲得讚揚
29. execute (v.) 處決
30. worthy of sth 適合某物或具有某物的特徵
31. fragile 脆弱
　
最近，自由國度的領袖，我們的川普總統，和我以前的神會面。他認定，人權沒那麼重要，不需排進議程中，所以對此他隻字不提。這嚇壞我了。我們竟身在一個獨裁者處決伯父還能獲得讚揚的世界裡，他殺害同父異母的哥哥、殺害成千上萬的北韓人民，竟還能得到讚揚。這不禁使我開始思考，也許我們現在都要學習自由的新涵義。自由很脆弱。我不想嚇你，但事實如此。短短三個世代，就讓北韓淪為喬治．歐威爾筆下的《１９８４》。只花了三個世代。如果我們不為人權而戰，不為受壓迫、不為無法發聲的人而戰，當身為自由人的我們不自由時，誰還願意為我們而戰？機器嗎？動物嗎？我不知道。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
I think it's wonderful that we care about climate change, animal rights, gender equality, all of these things. The fact that we care about animals' rights, that means that's how beautiful our heart is, that we care about someone who cannot speak for themselves. And North Koreans right now cannot speak for themselves. They don't have internet in the 21st century. We don't have electricity, and it is the darkest place on earth right now. Now I want to say something to my fellow North Koreans who are living in that darkness. They might not believe this, but I want to tell them that an alternative life is possible. Be free.
　
32. speak for oneself 為某人發聲
33. alternative life 另一種生活
　
我覺得我們能關心氣候變遷、動物權益、性別平等諸如此類之事，真的很美好。因為，我們關心動物權益，就代表了我們的心地有多善良，也代表我們關心無法為自己發聲的對象。北韓人民現在無法為自己發聲。身處２１世紀的他們，沒有網路可用。我們沒有電，那裡是當今地球上最暗的地方。現在我想告訴那些生活在北韓黑暗中的同胞。也許他們不會相信我，但我想告訴他們，生命仍有其他可能——意即自由的生活。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
From my experience, literally anything is possible. I was bought, I was sold as a slave. But now I'm here, and that is why I believe in miracles. The one thing that I learned from history is that nothing is forever in this world. And that is why we have every reason to be hopeful. Thank you.
　
34. slave 奴隸
35. miracle 奇蹟
　
就我的經驗，真的什麼事都有可能發生。我被人買走，賣給別人當奴隸。但我現在在這裡，這也就是為什麼我相信奇蹟。我從歷史上學到的一件事，就是世上沒有什麼是永恆的。而這也是我們無論如何都能懷有希望的原因。謝謝大家。

整理得很好

【**川普做了哪些40年來其他總統沒做的事?**】中共就是這幾任包括柯林頓，小布希，歐巴馬給搞到為所欲為，不管川普是否連任，這4年能夠把中共搞到崩潰邊緣，他真的不簡單!

**這裡整理幾點，他做了那些前任總統沒做的事?**

**1. 讓反共成為美國共識:**
* 正式公開承認過去幾十年對中政策的錯誤，並將中國與中共分開，認定中共所領導的中國為「有別於民主」的獨裁國家，視其為「新威權主義」

**2. 讓反共成為民主自由國家共識:**
* 呼籲並整合西方國家，在民主自由與極權暴政之間只能選邊站，價值觀勝過經濟誘因
* 在這次疫情，願意第一個出來講真話，讓我們不用活在指鹿為馬的世界，指出就是因為中共隱匿疫情，造成全球染疫超過千萬，死亡超過50萬人，經濟停擺，損失無可計算，四億多全職工作消失不復返，生活模式改變
* 甚至，他點出了 [#宗教自由](https://www.facebook.com/…/%E5%AE%97%E6%95%99%E8%87%AA%E7%9…)，喚醒我們與中共的差別，西方民主國家不要忘記我們的價值觀，行善止惡的重要性

**3. 斷絕中共資金來源:**

**6. 印太戰略**
* 美國對中國擴張問題，不再只是內容空泛的抱怨，反而是堅強的執行意志。從新加坡李顯龍公開表示，希望華府不要逼新加坡與東協在美、中兩國選邊，很明顯就是針對美國印太戰略在發言
* 美國正在亞太地區部署前所未見的軍力，目前美軍部署在亞太地區的兵力為37.5萬人，占美軍總兵力的28%，其中包括60%的海軍艦艇、55%的陸軍部隊，以及2/3的陸戰隊兵力

What did Trump do that the former presidents did not do?

1. Making Anti-CCP a consensus in the United States:
* Formally and publicly acknowledged the mistakes of the China policy over the past few decades, separated China from CCP, and regarded China led by CCP as a dictatorship, different from democracy countries

2. Making Anti-CCP a consensus in the democratic and free nations:
* Appealed the democratic and free nations to stand together against CCP. Western countries is forced by CCP to choose side between persistence in freedom and acceptance of Beijing’s bully tactics, between value and economic incentives.
* In this epidemic, told us the fact that it’s because of the CCP’s deliberate concealment, more than 10 million people have been infected, more than 500,000 people have died, more than 400 million full-time jobs have disappeared, and our lifestyle is forced to be changed.
* Pointed out the importance of religious freedom and awakened us the differences between us and the CCP. CCP is a regime that oppresses her people’s religious freedom. Western democracies should not forget our insistence on freedom and beliefs

3. Cut off the sources of CCP funds:
* Carried out trade wars, raised tariffs, forced the companies and the investment to move out of China
* Provided preferential measures to assist US companies to move out of China
* Passed a bill that would prevent companies that refuse to open their books from listing on Wall Street. This move is aimed to "kick deceitful Chinese companies off US exchanges."
* Restrict the flow of funds through Hong Kong
* Directed federal pension fund to halt investments in Chinese stocks
* Imposed tariff sanctions on Chinese fake products
* Passed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act to require the imposition of sanctions on foreign individuals and banks that participate in China’s oppression of Hong Kong

4. Cut off the sources of high-tech technology and knowledge acquired by CCP, and eliminate the possibility of Made in China 2025:
* Boycotted ZTE, Huawei, and the Chinese companies which are related to the CCP and the PLA
* Block CCP's access to acquire the high-end chips
* Arrested the scholars and scientists involved in the Thousand Talents Program, and publicly condemned the Chinese Embassy accused to lead this program in the US
* Ordered a ban on issuing visas to the Chinese people, students and researchers with PLA background, in order to prevent Xi Jinping's "military-civilian integration strategy" from stealing US high technology
* Signed "National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)": published a list of individuals or companies that steal US trade secrets, threaten national security or economic health; Penalize the companies that steal technology, including freezing their US assets; Prohibit U.S. citizens from trading with these companies and individuals...and so on.

5. 5G:
* Barred American firms from selling tech and supplies to huawei without first obtaining a license to do so and restricted companies like TSMC, a Taiwan-based firm, from exporting computer chipsets and other key components to Huawei.
* At the same time, warned the world that Huawei products will pose a risk to their national securities. Now, the tide is turning against Huawei, many countries have given up using Huawei equipments on their 5G instructure.
* According to CNN, because of using huawei equipments, the Philippines' power grid is under the full control of the Chinese government and could be shut off in time of conflict
* Denied Google to use a direct connection between the US and Hong Kong, due to a significant risk to security

6. Indo-Pacific Strategy
* The United States is no longer just complaining about the content of China's expansion, but rather a strong will to execute. Li Xianlong from Singapore stated publicly that he hopes that Washington will not force Singapore and ASEAN to choose sides in the United States and China.
* The United States is deploying unprecedented military power in the Asia-Pacific region. Currently, the US military has 375,000 troops deployed in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for 28% of the total US military strength, including 60% of naval ships, 55% of the army, and around 66% Marine Forces
* During the eight-year term of the former President Obama, only carried out four freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea. However, Trump has carried out 22 times in the four years so far, which is 11 times that of Obama.

7. Taiwan
* Ignoring CCP’s intimidation, the secretary of State Pompeo publically and officially called Tsai Ing-wen the President of Taiwan. Also, praised Taiwan’s contribution to democracy and freedom, and supported Taiwan’s accession to WHO and other international organizations
* Publicly announced Taiwan is the core partner of the US-Indo-Pacific Plan, and openly invited Taiwan to participate in August Joint Navy Exercise in South China Sea
* Reiterated the "Six Guarantees" for Taiwan in 2016
* Signed "Taipei Act": It aims to increase the scope of US relations with Taiwan and encourage other nations and international organizations to strengthen their official and unofficial ties with this nation
* Signed "Asian Reassurance Initiative Act 2018" : It aims to support the close economic, political, and security relationship between Taiwan and the United States, to faithfully enforce all existing United States Government commitments to Taiwan, to counter efforts to change the status quo and to support peaceful resolution acceptable to both sides of the Taiwan Strait, to conduct regular arms sales To Taiwan
* Signed "Taiwan Travel Law": It aims to encourage the travel of high level United States officials to Taiwan

8. Hong Kong
* In May 27, 2020, announced by the Secretary of State under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act that Hong Kong no longer enjoys sufficient autonomy in order to justify special treatment by the US
* In May 28, 2020, announced that the United States would initiate the process of revoking Hong Kong’s favorable treatment under US law
* In July 1st, 2020, passed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act. It’s aimed to provide for mandatory sanctions against individuals, entities and financial institutions in response to China’s National Security Law for Hong Kong.

9. Xinjiang
* China has rounded up at least a million Uighurs in Xinjiang and imprisoned them in what it calls "re-education camps." An investigation found that most of the detainees were imprisoned due to their religious practices and culture, rather than extremist behavior.
* In October 2019, banned the import of products made by a firm in Xinjiang over its use of forced labor, also, blacklisted 28 Chinese entities for their role in the repression of Uighurs and issued visa restrictions on key Chinese officials
* In May 2020, added 33 companies to the United States’ economic blacklist of Chinese companies with ties to China’s military. The Commerce Department explained the banning of these companies, claiming that they are “complicit in human rights violations and abuses committed in China’s campaign of repression, mass arbitrary detention, forced labor and high-technology surveillance against Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and other members of Muslim minority groups in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.”
* In signed into a law an act authorizing sanctions against Chinese officials over the mass detention and surveillance of Uighur Muslims in China's western Xinjiang province. The new legislation is the most significant action by any country to punish China over its treatment of ethnic minorities.

10. Media:
* In February, require five Chinese state-run media organizations to register their personnel and property with the U.S. government, granting them a designation akin to diplomatic entities.The five organizations affected are Xinhua News Agency; China Global Television Network, previously known as CCTV; China Radio International; the parent company of China Daily newspaper; and the parent company of The People’s Daily newspaper. All five meet the definitions of "foreign missions" under the Foreign Missions Act, according to the State Department.
* In March, ordered several Chinese media organizations to dismiss 60 U.S.-based Chinese nationals
* In May, reduced the length of work visas for journalists from China employed by non-U.S. media will be to a maximum of 90 days. Chinese reporters can apply for extensions, each one also limited to 90 days
* In the end of May, after Trump's complained reminding, Twitter has flagged a tweet written in March by a Chinese government spokesman that the US military brought the novel Coronavirus to China, as the social media platform ramps up fact-checking of posts.
* In July, announced that four more Chinese media organizations will be treated as foreign diplomatic missions, including: China Central Television (CCTV), China News Service (China News Service), People’s Daily, and Global Times.

11. Before the epidemic, the US economic performance at the end of 2019
* Unemployment rate remains at 3.5%, a new low since 1969
* During Trump’s three years in power, U.S. stocks soared by more than 50%, ranking first among successive presidents
* Increased recruitment and rising wages have driven consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic output, and its health has helped the economy maintain a stretch of growth that is now in its 11th year.
* In G7 in 2019, the United States is the only country with an economic growth rate of more than 2%
* As of December 2019, the U.S. economy has expanded for a record 126 straight months, the longest time period in the country’s history according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.
* The total market value of the US stock market climbed to a record, 1.5 times GDP
* In 2019, the strong American economy attracts investment from all over the world,bringing the dollar exchange rate to a record high

12. International organizations
* Loudly accused WHO of being very "China-centric" and withdrawn from the WHO by action and refusing to provide funds, the WHO finally admitted on June 30 that it was alerted by its own office in China, and not by China itself, to the first pneumonia cases in Wuhan.
* Trump is even considering to establish a new international health organization to allow the United States to have greater influence
* WTO Secretary-General suddenly resigned in May this year
* Trump even called for reform of outdated United Nations, implying that an new UN organization should based on the common value as democracy and freedom. Hence, he is starting to invite more democratic countries into G7

因為我愛台灣所以我才會批評台灣，希望我住的地方變得更好！可以說我是在這裡長大的，我人生的4分之一是在台灣過的，我在台灣從大學生就成為了成熟的男人，現在持有永久居民的身份，我絕對要為了台灣發聲！
。
追踪我的好友都知道我幾乎每次發文都在講有關於台灣的事情。我對國外的民族抗爭很熱情，天天看新聞，但我不會分享我每天讀到的事情因為跟台灣無關！因此連提到BLM的時候我都會跟台灣做連接，做翻譯。與其討論國外不如談直接影響我們的事情！況且討論台灣社會議題的差別是我真的能影響狀況，我很容易接觸到當事者以及相關的人物，這就是為何我針對台灣藝人塗黑臉，而沒有針對國外的事情！
。
我前幾天發diss歌結果雖然得到了很多人的支持也帶來了不少負面能量。但無論如何，我要記得初衷：幫助我的黑人朋友得到尊重而引起有關於民族的討論。我不可以因為不想要經過痛苦而選擇忽略，選擇沉默並不會改變真相，只會延續惡夢！
。
最後我也想要強調互相尊重的關鍵點……外國人說塗黑臉不好不是不尊重台灣文化，我們尊重台灣人的方式是不拉眼睛、不模仿膚色、不嘲笑台灣人講英文的口音等等 如果有人做的話我們絕對要批判！相對地台灣人對我們維持一樣的標準就是我們希望能得到的尊重。對於塗黑臉這件事情 它有特殊的歷史跟意思，大家與其跟我辯論在台灣是否算是種族歧視或是問歷史不如Google一下，學習這種事情是自己的責任，反正若我講全部你們都懶得看，我只會說跟種族隔離時代有很大的關係！
。
最後我在此聲明，包青天沒有問題，這是台灣的神啊！那些提到模仿超級英雄和黑色面膜不要鬧吧 😂

I love Taiwan and that's why I criticise it, to make it better! I've lived here over a quarter of my life, and I became a grown man here. I speak out on issues that affect my surrounding community because this the place I can impact.

The diss song a few days ago while it was supported by many brought a lot of negative energy. But I can't forget why I did it: to speak up for my brothers and sisters of color and to start a conversation about race. I refuse to sit back and benefit from injustices while perpetuating the nightmare of another person.

Foreigners telling Taiwanese not to do blackface is not forcing our values on locals. This is an issue of mutual respect. We don't pull our eyes back, color our skin it mimic the way you speak English, and if we see it we must call it out. Likewise, we expect the same respect from locals. Simple as that.

My actions come from a place of love. I wish peace, safety and dignity for all 🙏

但是這個東西沒有讓他覺得自滿，但是由於他懂得
怎樣去跟這些名畫的交易商談價錢還有抬高價錢，
因此大部分的名畫都可以買到很好的價錢，
那大家都知道，我們想起畢加索，就會想起那些抽象畫，
而這些抽象畫才是他真正賺大錢的名畫。
在那個時候，從來沒有人做過這些超現實主義的畫，就是這種抽像畫
可以說是在創作裡面的一片藍海，但是要讓歐洲的畫商
還有收藏品的收藏家，接受那麽前衛的作品，
需要非常好的營銷還有編排，而他非常善於社交還有非常有商業頭腦，
成功的把這些非常前衛的抽象畫賣到了歐洲的貴族的手中，
大家看看這一幅畫，這幅叫【讀書】，畫的就是他的情人Walter，
在2011年倫敦拍賣裏面，成功以2520萬英鎊拍賣給一名俄羅斯的商人。
而且他是打電話來訂的。
畢加索一生裏面創作最少有37000副畫，在他死後留下來兩億美金的財產，
以通膨來計算，到現在為止大概價值100-200億美金，
當中還有幾萬副畫，還有一些別墅和雕像留給了他的後代。
那麼問題來了
為何梵高和畢加索，兩個都是畫畫的天才，
但是兩者的遭遇為什麼會不一樣呢？那梵高究竟做少的什麼東西呢？
1. 不善於社交還有公關，他鄙視那些販賣藝術品的商人，
覺得他們是在侮辱了藝術，就好像劉青雲講的一樣：
‘做人公關不好，食屎啦，沒公關，屎都沒得食’
2. 包裝和銷售
產品每一個都需要經過包裝，還有有一個銷售的技巧方能賣出
這些東西都是梵高沒有做到的
3. 情緒管理
就是因為他的之前愛情的問題。。。
啊～不是愛情啦～單戀的那些問題，所有他在情緒上沒有管理好
4.這個是最重要，他就是低估了自己藝術品的價值。
那麼我們把這些東西放在自己的身上，我們有時會覺得自己的價值不高，
覺得自己不值那個價錢，我應該只適合這些工作，或者是領這一些薪水。
那我來跟大家講一個例子，一罐在超市裡面的可樂，
和一罐在馬爾代夫度假村裡面的可樂是不是一樣的呢？
可樂的本質其實沒有改變過，在馬爾代夫的可樂其實還是可樂，
並不會特別的好喝，
但是在超市的一罐賣Rm2，馬爾代夫的一罐買USD8，(不知道，應該更貴吧)
整整相差了RM30，那麼究竟是哪裡的分別呢？
重點在於如何讓顧客覺得值得，而不是你自己覺得值得
只要讓顧客覺得值得，那麼他用多少錢來買都可以
就好像梵高的畫一樣，他一生裡面只買過一副畫，
而且還是他親戚幫他買的，賣了400，
但是他死後他的畫在拍賣會上，最高的那一個
是7。。。8250多萬美金，不懂有幾千幾萬倍？
那我們來想啦～為什麼買畫的人覺得7150萬美金值得呢？
那除了它是獨一無二之外，畫背後的淒慘故事，
這幅畫帶給他的感覺等等
也有可能是因為這幅畫的投資價值，還有背後的那些故事
那所有他才買了這幅畫。
所以銷售就是要讓顧客覺得你的價錢值得，而不是你自己覺得值得。
讓顧客覺得值得，除了就是一些基本的條件
例如是品質啊～或者是公司的名氣等等，更重要的就是情緒，
80%的購買都是感性（情緒）而做出決定的，尤其是在這麼貴的東西身上，
理性的原因根本不可能成為他購買的關鍵。
那麼情緒購買，大概可以分為5種：
1. 視覺效果
那視覺效果，除了就是產品的包裝，產品的一些廣告之外
那個銷售人員（的外表）也是很重要的，
那如果彭于晏和八兩金一起賣同一個產品給你，
那你自己覺得是選誰呢？那答案就是很明顯的
不然賣跑車的商家幹嘛聘請一大堆的模特兒來賣跑車呢？
2. Pride ，就是身份和地位的象徵
如果你能讓顧客，在買了你的產品過後，
他的身份和地位會比以前不一樣，或者變得與眾不同
儘管那不一定會成為事實
但是那種感覺會讓他們，得到嚮往的生活。
就好像賣屋子的人一樣，他為什麼要花那麼多錢，
去做好那個示範屋呢？
原因就是讓顧客覺得他們以後的家園就會是這樣的，
那就從此過著幸福快樂的生活，那當然啦～不一定會達成
但你有讓他有那種感覺是最重要的
還有一些就是Limited edition, 就是獨一無二的那些東西
也是非常好賣的
3. 貪婪
讓顧客覺得賺到的一個假象，也是利用他貪婪的其中一種
例如好像那種promotion啊！買一送一啊～
那種其實是用這種因素的
4. 喜歡和偏愛，這個不需要解釋，喜歡就是喜歡
如果他是喜歡你的產品，喜歡你的人，或者是喜歡那個品牌
對於那個品牌有一定的偏愛
那麼根本不需考慮到其他理性的因素。
5. 恐懼
恐懼也是其中一個購買的因素，例如好像有限期的Promotion，
或者是你錯過了這個就會賣更貴啊～類似好像那種Promotion
好像保險的銷售其實也是利用恐懼這一個點，來做銷售的
那麼大家的人生想做梵高還是畢加索呢？由你自己來決定！
最後送上畢加索的一句話，這句話其實是蠻有意思的
我們都知道藝術並不是真相，它只是尋找真相的一個謊言，
所以藝術家需要會講解還有說服，讓大家明白你的謊言
那好啦！今天的影片就到這裡啦，
最近我的工作其實是很忙
那今天我就來嘗試一下激勵和自我成長的一個主題，
那當然啦～奇異世界的影片還是照樣會做的
那如果大家想看什麼主題的話～，歡迎大家留言給我讓我知道吧！
那好啦～我們下個奇異世界見，Bye Bye

明天6月21號才是世界末日?| 2020 瑪雅曆法預言&恐懼傳染的生理學

古代文明裡面人祭儀式: 即是把人殺死然後來祭祉神靈是合法文化傳統.大多數用來進行人祭的會是戰俘或小朋友.
前哥倫布時期文明‘瑪雅人’ 相信小孩的血是送給神最寶貴的禮物.
雖然這種行為在我們現代人眼中是殘暴, 但相比同期的 ‘阿茲台克人’ 瑪雅相對心靈上發達, 更對人的意識有一定的理解. 預算到4000年後的2012年12月21號會是世界一個終結. 但近期甚至Forbes也指出, 當時2012年的計法是計錯的. 真正世界末日應該是2020年6月21日這一段時間.

大家好又是我暗網仔,今天是不是就是大家需跟家人朋友道別的一天呢?

你心目中的世界末日會是怎樣: 洪水, 冰河, 還是核戰? 古文明眼中的末日應該很不同.

對比今天用的格里曆, 瑪雅計算日期用這個長-中美洲舊曆, 寫法上長很多.
1969年7月20號(July 20 1969) 如果在瑪雅古代會寫成: 12.17.15.17.0
左邊的12代表跟日曆開始啟用的年份3114 BC. 隔了12個baktun, 即是瑪雅語言的12個週期. 而每一個週期總共長達144,000日.
舊曆完結的: 13.0.0.0.0就是大家當時所認為的2012年12月21日.

最近就有位年輕科學家Paolo Tagaloguin在social media發了一個post解釋當時大家用現今的格里曆去計算“2012年” 是錯的. 因為那個是我們現代人的2012年.
如果我們跟據由Julius Caesar創立的儒略曆去計, 是相差了8年那麼多. 所以用舊歷去看的話今年我們的2020年6月21號才是瑪雅所預言的 “2012年” 13.0.0.0.0終結之年.

維基百科- “a number of human sacrifice methods were employed: most common decapitation and heart extraction. Additional included shooting the victim with arrows, hurling sacrifices into a deep sinkhole, entombing alive, tying the sacrifice into a ball and then used for a ballgame, and disembowlment.

其實瑪雅人從來都沒有描述過日曆的終結會是怎麼樣子. 沒有傳遞過什麼太陽爆炸?彗星撞地球? 我們是如何聯想到 “世界末日” ? 事實上瑪雅從來沒有說明.
“2012世界末日’ 可以說是1995年現代人互聯網的發明. 更是人類心理恐懼的一種傳染.
1995年這位Nancy Lieder 自稱被來自Zeta Reticuli星系的外星人抓走過, 就開始在網上宣揚我們太陽系的角落位有一個比地球大5倍的Nibiru或 ‘X星球’ 將於2003年近地球導致地球極移而會引致大量死傷.

2003年當然沒有發生到, Nibiru就被安排到跟2012年瑪雅日曆連埋一起, 等如就是2012世界末日. “Doomsday’ 名義下出了多部電視, 電影能賺錢的作品.
“If the maya could predict the end of the world 1000 years in advance, why couldn’t they see the pending collapse of their own civilization?”
其實瑪雅長-中美洲舊曆13.0.0.0.0的結束後只是瑪雅人ching為 ‘捷豹時代’ 或 ‘the fourth sun’ 的一個結束. 一個新歷亦會重新開始.
在當時瑪雅長老的miu suet中, 世界會進行一個思想和心靈上的進化, 我們網上可以找到mayanism的資料跟new age(人類靈和意識進化) 這個思維極為相似.

其實幾天前年輕科學家Paolo Tagaloguin已經刪除之前Social media那個post説自己計儒略曆和我們格里曆的差別不是8年那麼多, 而只是差11天. 總結就是2012尾瑪雅的13.0.0.0.0日曆結束已經發生了.
但網上各大討論繼續針對世界末日. 某程度可以說因為 “末日” 跟今年的氣氛很合適.
通常到這個位我也會blame互聯網或討論區或social media造成這個現象. 但其實傳染恐懼的生理學是人身體上yu sun keuy louy的東西.

你知道動物世界入面當蜜蜂或螞蟻受到一些攻擊時他們身體會發出一些信息素警告身邊的同類有危險. 之後 (scientist did an experiment with humans where they took 2 people’s sweat. One was someone running on a treadmill, the other was someone’s sweat from the 1st time they went skydiving. Then had someone sniff both the sweat. The treadmill one: nothing. But smelling the skydiving the fear and anxiety, it triggered that persons 的杏仁果. 這樣東西是直接影響人的EQ的.

Why does that affect us so much? Because inherently humans want to follow and belong to the groups So no matter what, end of the world or even human sacrifice, the masses feelings even in terms of 生理influences everyone in that area.
