面對親人的往生,沒有人會不心痛。不要迴避傷心這件事,別告訴自己「傷心過一天,開心也是過一天」,然後勉強自己開心。但日子總是要過,去找找朋友、去找幾件沒做過的事來做,都比自己宅在家、永遠困在傷心囚籠要好。

Share your vulnerabilities to help others”
5/11/2025
Fm: Teresa at Japan Conference
我很喜歡今天 Hennah 演講中傳達的實用訊息:
「分享你的脆弱,來幫助他人」~對自己的掙扎、恐懼、錯誤或弱點保持開放和誠實。因為這麼做,能夠安慰、啟發,甚至引導那些正經歷類似困境的人。
這是一個非常重要的訊息, 因為時常強者會讓人害怕、不知如何親近。
I like the useful message behind Hennah's speech...“Share your vulnerabilities to help others” -- Be open and honest about your own struggles, fears, mistakes, or weaknesses. Because doing so can comfort, inspire, or guide others who are going through something similar.
This is important because strongers always make people afraid and don't know how to get close.

Life is too short to be unhappy
Life is too short to be unhappy.You have to take the good with the bad, smile when you should, love what you got and always remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget. Learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong. But always remember life goes on.

Spring roll in Swept Festival 20250404
清明節是個很特別的節日,紀念自己的祖先在台灣很多戶,人家都別的食物就是春捲。年輕住在家裡的時候阿爸阿母會去買春捲的春捲皮,然後阿母會準備很多食材幾乎就不用動手做就可以吃到很好吃的春捲結婚以後我的大官(公公)因為曾經發生過車禍非常的嚴重,幾乎不能夠站起來,但他的毅力讓他能夠用助行器行走在清明節那一天一大早他就會拿著助行器到附近的市場排隊去買春捲皮那時候剛嫁到這個大家族也會在清明節的時候買了一些包春捲的菜笨手笨腳的準備保存卷那時候二伯會回來掃墓,他看到我笨手笨腳的就說他來炒好了,結果沒有多久就炒了一桌的菜等大家吃完了春捲就準備去掃祖先的墳墓我們會一起用走的過去雖然路途很遠,但是邊走邊聊天也不會覺得很遠在台灣清明節這一天準備的春捲就會先拜完祖先,然後大家在一起享用感覺到很有節氣的味道梁家的爸爸每年在清明節的時候也會到菜市場去排隊買春捲皮阿爸跟阿母包的東西跟我們的有一點不太一樣,但是阿爸只要菜準備好就會趕快打電話叫我們過去拿回來吃,那時候有阿爸照顧感覺好幸福阿爸都會想到我們也會幫我們多準備一些菜還有花生粉海苔讓我們過去吃。也只有阿爸和阿母才能夠無私地分享給我們。 春卷聯繫了一家人的感情。長大以後有時候我也會自己準備春捲的食材,還有去買春捲的皮看到小孩津津有味的吃著真的是很快樂,這時候我就回想到我的公公和我的阿爸阿母看到我們回去吃春捲的時候是多麼的高興清明節有濃濃對大官和阿爸👨的思念!

Demi Moore 懼裂 2025 全球獎品後
黛咪摩爾靠著在【懼裂】中想盡辦法回春的過氣女星角色,奪下2025金球獎影后。演戲演了將近半世紀,首次獲得獎項肯定,真的是很感人的瞬間。
雖然上台第一句話還是『我真的沒想到』,但從致詞的精彩程度、以及精準的用字跟語氣,聽得出來她等了45年的這一刻,絕對是有備而來。
就算不是演員,身為一個中年男子,也能從她的致詞中找到共鳴。除了外界的評價,我覺得最大的心魔,反而是自己內心的聲音:
『或許我這輩子就這樣子了吧』
『能做的或許都已經做了』
『我的能力就只到這裡』
要走還是要留,從某個更高的視角來看,或許都很好。而且我們更多人的人生達到里程碑,還不會像演員一樣有獎項肯定,更要記得,要自己頒獎給自己。
來看看Demi Moore說了什麼。
Oh wow. I really wasn’t expecting that. I’m just in shock right now.
哇 我真的沒預期到。我現在很震驚。
I’ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years,
我從事演員這一行已經很久了,超過 45 年
and this is the first time I’ve ever won anyTHING as an actor.
是我第一次以演員身份贏得任何東西(thing還加了重音,表示大大小小的任何東西,真的一個都沒有喔)
Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a ‘popcorn actress’
30 年前,一位製片人曾對我說我是「爆米花演員」
I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money,
我可以拍商業成功的電影,票房很好
but that I couldn’t be acknowledged,
但我不會獲得認可
and I bought in and I believed that.
別人這樣告訴我,我也就信了。
a few years ago, I thought maybe this was it.
幾年前我還想,或許就這樣了吧
Maybe I was complete. Maybe I would—I’d done what I was supposed to do.
或許我的演藝生涯已經完結,我能做的,都已經做了。
And as I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance.
就在我處於低谷時,這個魔幻的、大膽的、勇敢的、跳脫框架的、徹底瘋狂的劇本【懼裂】,出現在我桌上
the universe told me that you’re not done
宇宙告訴我,你還沒有結束
In those moments when we don’t think we’re smart enough or pretty enough, or skinny enough or successful enough,
當我們認為自己不夠聰明、不夠漂亮、不夠瘦、不夠成功的時候
I had a woman say to me, ‘Just know, you will never be enough.
有位女士對我說:你要知道,你沒辦法讓全世界都覺得你夠好
But you can know the value of your worth
但你能知道自己的價值
if you just put down the measuring stick.’
只要你放下量尺
so today I celebrate this as a marker of my wholeness
所以今天我把獎項視為我完整的標誌
and of the love that is driving me and for the gift of doing something I love
也象徵驅使我前進的愛、做我所愛的天賦
and being reminded that I do belong.
也會一直提醒著我 我屬於這裡

20250316 斷捨離真的太掙扎
三月的14,15日將堆積了好幾年的樣品工廠的樣本一箱一箱的轉給朋友那一盒一盒的樣品緞帶是我曾經編織著夢想一舉一絕用心拍攝的樣品曾經從對緞帶的一知半解到慢慢地摸索出它的材質用處將它拍成美美的相片做成目錄展現給客戶客戶也是回報了一些訂單十幾年來的成果累積下來的樣品一直都捨不得送給人家雖然我沒有辦法在經營這些小生意,但是我還是沒辦法割捨掉這些陪伴我走過無數歲月的美麗緞帶這兩天我向他們告別轉給了朋友,希望他們能夠在以最漂亮的姿態呈現讓更多的小商家喜歡他們這也是重新塑造他們的生命價值斷捨離真的是很難我小心翼翼地又拿了一些緞帶起來,我希望再把它們保留一段時間等到我可以完全不想他們的時候我在將他們轉送給別人,也感謝這些小緞帶讓我的生命更多彩多姿。
斷捨離後斷捨離後心情變得格外的輕鬆東西減少了減輕那一些負擔這些東西重新塑造他們的價值轉送給一些需要的人斷修理真的是一個很難的課題在未來的日子裡我還會再繼續斷捨離就像交朋友一樣有一些朋友根本不在乎你或者也沒想要過關心你就斷捨離吧,真心對待你的朋友好好的對待他們,因為那些才是值得你交往的朋友2025-0316
On March 14th and 15th, I handed over boxes of samples from the factory piled up for several years to my friends. Those boxes of sample ribbons were the samples that I had woven with my dreams. I slowly figured out the material and use of ribbons, and I took beautiful photos of them and made catalogs to show them to my customers. The customers also gave me some orders in return. Over the past decade, I have been reluctant to give away the accumulated samples. Although I can no longer run these small businesses, I still There is no way to give up these beautiful ribbons that have accompanied me through countless years. I said goodbye to them and gave them to my friends these two days, hoping that they can be presented in the most beautiful posture so that more small businesses will like them. This is also to reshape their life value. It is really difficult to let go. I carefully picked up some ribbons. I hope to keep them for a while. When I can completely miss them, I will pass them on to others. I am also grateful for these small ribbons that make my life more colorful.
After letting go, I feel extra relaxed. I have less stuff and have lightened some of the burdens. I reshape the value of these things and pass them on to those who need them. It is really a difficult subject. I will continue to let go in the future. Just like making friends, some friends don’t care about you at all or don’t want to care about you. Just let go. Treat your friends sincerely and treat them well, because those are the friends worth associating with. 2025-0316
實際上英語中沒有一個單字可以完美地符合「斷捨離」一詞,但以下單字有相似的意思:
・decluttering
它是「declutter(整理)」的動名詞。
雖然斷捨離有很深的含義,但這詞只是簡單地表示整理,所以我們可以用於表達斷捨離的意思。
另外還有一個「clutter(雜亂)」的單字同樣能表達一樣的概念。
・minimalism
「minimalism」是表示丟掉不必要的物品,或是不購物的斷捨離,代表只需要最少的物品來呈現其生活方式。
・simple living
雖然它與「minimalism」類似,但我們可以用「simple living」來解說斷捨離,也就是消除浪費、追求簡單的生活。
順帶一提,近藤麻理惠的書籍和整理方法在全球風靡一時,雖然這並非整理的意思,但英語圈也開始使用「KonMari method」這個表達。
Danshari is a Japanese neologism referring to a form of systematic decluttering and optimization of the things in a home, and is composed of the words dan (refuse), sha (dispose) and ri (separate).
Danshari is a Japanese concept that is getting popular.
斷捨離是一個正流行的日本概念。
Danshari means cleaning or tidying up.
斷捨離代表清潔和整理。
I don’t know what Danshari means.
我不知道斷捨離的意思。
I have never tried Danshari.
我從來沒有嘗試過斷捨離。
Why do a lot of people do Danshari?
為什麼這麼多人在斷捨離?
