The Impossible Dream

Currently Playing: Boutique in Heaven – Justin Timberlake

“I had been right I was still right I was always right. I had lived my life one way and I could just as well lived it another. I had done this and I hadn t done that. I hadn t done this thing and I had done another. And so? ” – Albert Camus, The Stranger

To realize a dream: persistence, courage, passion, skills and strategies.

The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream,
to fight the unbeatable foe,
to bear with unbearable sorrow,
to run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong,
to love pure and chaste from afar,
to try when your arms are too weary,
to reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest,
to follow that star —
no matter how hopeless,
no matter how far.

To fight for the right
without question or pause,
that one man scorned and covered with scars
still strove with his last ounce of courage.
To reach the unreachable stars.

埋下理想 栽種幻想

翻一翻護照，這六年來竟然有七個「陸上許可」的日本印。我喜歡日本，因為我喜歡避世。在這個與我無關的自由國度，我可以暫時卸下重擔和鬆開枷鎖，唯一以好奇心去探索每一天，珍惜每一秒。Take a break for real!

畢業後生活難免鬱悶。時間軸拉長，前進的節拍也拖慢了。向前看，timeline segmentation 只有讀surveying，三年後rotation完畢，然後下一個foreseeable的已經是結婚，有一天出書。That’s it.

走到浅草寺的籤筒面前，合上眼問自己，我對未來到底有什麼寄望？腦裡一片空白。日復一日地生活，一直依賴著Steve Jobs 的一句 “connect the dots” carry on，那我的purpose of life 是什麼？Source of passion 是什麼？以前初中迷上web design，不停參加比賽，當時確確實實每天都被渴望推動著，以努力來止渴。現在呢？面對種種前所未有的variables in life，在這隨時斷開的橋樑上步步為營地見步行步，一直告訴自己，穩定下來後就可以re-focus重新出發。可是，我怕我已經習慣了這種mentality，以此為藉口去逃避現實。

Anyways…
