REhab

Laziness is like a chronicle disease, you cannot discern the existence of it. Quietly, it creeps up your shoulders. It hungs on your shoulders. It sticks with you day and night. It requires your strive to shake it away. It sucks your strength out of your vien. It drains the last drop of your energy. It digs a gap so deep that you can barely cross. It imprisons your willpower, your dream, your to do list, your desire, your self-improvement, your motivation, and every bit of goodness you strive to be.

A suggestion for the would-be directors from Akira Kurosawa_黑澤明給青年人的建議

Actually, I do not know much about Akira Kurosawa, all I know is that he is a well-known Japanese, a renowned director. In the video clip, he talks about how the would-be directors can create great movies. He suggested that all directors should write as much script/ play as possible. In addition, he also values the importance of reading, because, if there's no input of ideas, one can barely create something new out of nothing. People need inspiration, and inspiration comes from our experience. Experience, in turn, often can be derived via the joy of reading a book. For example, if someone has never been to the middle east. Can the person describe the scenery or costumes in the middle east?! A definite no would probably be the answer, nevertheless, if a book that introduces the middle east is given to the person and he or she reads through it, chances are, he or she could possible say a lot about the middle east. I do agree with his point of view. Training a would-be director is much like increasing someone's language proficiency. Emphasis is usually put on pleasure reading. One can only absorb what he or she is reading when his/ her affective filter is low. To make the affective filter low, the material must be of interest to the reader. If the book itself is not interesting, at least it has to be something that is highly readable, that is, easy to be comprehended.

An Experiment

I conducted an experiment today.
I bought two bottles of drink and hung a bottle of drink in fornt of my scooter when I left.
It was like someone accidently forgot his/ her drink on the scooter.
I did it on purpose, though. 
I would like to how people are going to react to it and see if people are gonna leave it there or take it away.
After the first hald an hour, I retured from strolling around the nearby area.
The drink was still there.
However, after I attended the Japanese class, which lasted one and half an hours, surprisingly, it was gone!!!

What does this tell us?

"Production, production, production!"

 

As they said when you're doing businesses, all that massters is location, "location, location, location!" 

I siad that, tomorrow will be the fourth month I have served my poor mother country.
And I would like to make a difference, a difference on my day to day life.
Therefore, I have resoluted to produce an article per day. 

Perfectionism is blocking my progress, or compilation of articles.
I told myself that no matter how short or shitty the article is, I have to write it!
"Production, production, production!"

玫瑰色的眼鏡

為何而戰？！為誰而戰？！

三個月前成功嶺上的新訓依稀記得，斑駁的牆面上寫著「為國家生存而戰，為中華民國而戰。」

很諷刺的是，從最近的新聞中的各方面消息(當然是除了忘X集團以外的媒體)，似乎都顯示著，國軍所服務的政府卻朝著反方向前進。當這些熱血青年，自願也好，非自願也好，都將自己人生中最精華的20 somthing捐了一年給國家。國家呢？國家現在如何回報他們的慷慨？國家卻背地裡；或許，更甚，明目張膽地，為了少數高層官員與財團的利益，一點一滴，論斤秤兩地賣出了青年們的未來。說真的，我很不甘心，很不甘心，很憤怒 ，很憤怒。
 「為財團而戰的國家 ，為洗腦而戰的國家」是個不值得我們賣命的國家。


而在這個狀況改變前，我希望可以得到更多力量，所以，我回來blogging，希望可以記錄下自己的一些想法，我要先看到自己改變，進而推動改變！
