I’m always attracted to hardworking people with a warm, genuine smile that reaches the eyes and Cik B is definitely one of these rare gems.
For a 16 year old girl, I can genuinely say that she is matured and wise beyond her years, dedicated and very much passionate about the craft.
Throughout the four hours of our recording session yesterday, Cik B was so committed and focused in her work. She listened attentively to every single direction briefed by the director, producer and production team and tried her very best to give a good performance to the show, alongside with her superstar mom and little brother.
Her work ethic is impeccable, not even once I saw her with her phone in hands throughout the recording, not even during break-time or in-between scenes; and for that I know she is in this for real, taking her craft seriously, with pride and respect.
Yes, this industry is anyone's game but one thing I know for sure is her drive to learn and humble spirits combined with her passion and impeccable work ethic will pay off someday.
Raw talent is great, but the right attitude is better. A mediocre person with a right attitude achieves stardom, while one with the talent but without attitudinal wherewithal rots in anonymity.
All she needs is the right support and guidance and insha Allah, with the right team, she can accomplish miracles and mark a remarkable milestone in her career.
I wish you all the best Cik B. Always remember to take a step back to breath when things get intense, there's a lot of great potential for you to explore in the future. Keep your chin up, keep your fighting spirit high and don't give up! ✨

OPINION REVIEW & OUTLOOK
Honoring Jimmy Lai
In Hong Kong, a valiant attempt to keep publishing the truth.
By The Editorial Board
June 21, 2021 12:02 am ET
The Committee to Protect Journalists was founded 40 years ago to fight for journalists who are “attacked, imprisoned or killed.” In this spirit, the CPJ on Monday announced it is honoring Hong Kong’s Jimmy Lai with its 2021 Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award. Mr. Lai, the founder, owner and contributor to the Apple Daily newspaper, won’t be able to accept the award in person because he sits in prison in Hong Kong.
The CPJ honor comes after another police raid on the newsroom last week. Five Apple Daily execs were arrested, and two—editor-in-chief Ryan Law and chief executive officer Cheung Kim-hung —were charged under the new national security law and thus denied bail. The CPJ notes that Mr. Lai “fights for the right of his Apple News organization to publish freely, even as China and its backers in Hong Kong use every tool to quash them.”
The grim news is that those who want Apple silenced may be succeeding. We have learned that Apple may be only days away from stopping its presses. This itself is a lesson in freedom. Instead of directly censoring the publication, Hong Kong authorities, backed by China, have targeted the lifeblood of any news organization, its business operations.
The lesson of Apple is that freedom of the press doesn’t exist in the abstract. It depends on property rights. By freezing Apple’s corporate accounts, by stopping Mr. Lai from voting his shares (he holds 72% of the company), and by scaring people from advertising in Apple or doing business with it, Hong Kong has been trying to deny the paper the wherewithal to continue. Lenin understood this more than a century ago, recommending that Communists control newsprint and advertising to bring the press to heel.
There’s a warning here for other Hong Kong business enterprises that may not think they have a stake in what happens to Mr. Lai or Apple. Hong Kong authorities are stealing Mr. Lai’s company because they don’t like his political views—and they have done it by police orders, without due process or judicial review. If they can do it to his company, does anyone really believe they won’t do it to a bank or tech company that offends China?
The men and women at Apple have been making a valiant stand to keep publishing despite the risk of arrest and imprisonment. They are an example of real journalistic courage that should educate an American media that likes to play up its bravery in challenging the government while living under the protection of the First Amendment and a free society. Mr. Lai and his journalists have put their freedom at risk to challenge a real tyranny.
The CPJ award is richly deserved, and it should put a global spotlight on what is happening to Mr. Lai and Apple. As China’s Communist Party seeks to expand its political control over critics world-wide, often with the acquiescence of Hollywood and U.S. tech companies, Jimmy Lai speaks for everyone fighting for the cause of liberty.//

🌻"聊成長股讓我很快樂"系列文. 之一. 大型股 vs. 中小型成長股
(疫情讓我焦慮, 易倦. 打算用一系列的發文, 來說一下我認識的成長美股, 這會讓我快樂. 這是我這系列的第二篇文章)
我主要是投資成長股. 而研究成長股好幾年了, 每次看到有投資人不了解成長股股性, 甚至因此有了誤會而賠錢, 都會很難受.
因此簡單做了一下兩者的比較. 請見圖.
至於長期下來哪個績效比較好? 我覺得真的很難去比. 因為兩種個股需要的操作跟心理狀態其實不一樣. 中小型股因為波動大, 需要更強的心理素質. 如果心理素質不佳, 或是對基本面沒有信心, 即使中小型股比較會飆, 投資人也未必能抱得住.

🌻Another thing that makes me happy
最近開始, 幫媽媽的唱歌班錄了英文歌詞, 好讓大家學習唱英文歌.
想說既然錄了音, 就一起分享好了. 這樣有興趣學英文歌的讀者也可以順便學習. 以後要是有持續錄音, 也會繼續在這邊做分享(我喜歡做資源回收😆)
上次學的歌是一首好聽的英文老歌”Five Hundred Miles.”
YouTube上抓到的歌曲:
500 Miles - Inside Llewyn Davis

我錄的歌詞(因為唱歌班老師給的歌詞有兩頁, 所以我分開錄):
