"MAYBE IT'S TIME TO REST ON OUR LAURELS."
--

Pandemic has brought up a lot of things I need to heal through, and this is one of them: the idea of the "perpetual achievement". Sound familiar?

We glooorify it. What you did today is good, yeah - but what about what you'll do TOMORROW? You'd better be going higher, stronger, faster - never stop, don't you dare. Post the next ig picture. Generate tomorrow's tiktok content. Hope for likes. Touched the sky? Blow a hole through the atmosphere and torpedo straight on to the next burning star. The you from yesterday? We don't know her. We're better. Upgraded. V 2.0.

I've been living my life like this for years now, but the past 2 years have forced us all to BE slowed down and re-evaluate.

Don't get me wrong. Ambition & achievement are wonderful. (There are certainly many more things I want to achieve, and much coming up that I'm going to be sharing with you guys. Never stop dreaming.) But dreaming becomes a problem when it turns living into a nightmare, because you can't stop trying to put distance between yourself and yourself. Stop being the shadow you are continually trying to win. It's EXHAUSTING. Aren't you exhausted? I am.

So maybe the truth is this: that we were put on this earth to do ONE good thing with our lives. ONE properly good thing.
And maybe that's winning a great Waterloo style battle, or achieving a certain dream. Maybe it's finishing one great performance. One great thesis. A beautiful painting. An espresso magnum opus.

And then - we let that be enough. And we rest on our laurels. "Greatness" does not have to be continually proven. Likes are transient, clout & remembrance fade. Do what you do because you love it, and it is good, and it fulfils you. If when your day comes to an end you can say "I did this one thing to the best of my ability and it was good" - that is enough, hero. Be at peace. The bards will sing of that one deed. The song will be equally wonderful without infinite stanzas.

So rest on your laurels, goddesses. You've earned it.

每年，臺北市都會表揚體育有功團體及人員，包括選手、教練與協會、團體。

體育能凝聚人心，東奧舉國關注，因為運動競賽就是超越自我、挑戰極限，但曲終人散後要如何延續熱情？昨天總統府前舉辦了盛大的東奧英雄凱旋派對，然後呢?

運動是個龐大的產業，最近阿根廷足球明星梅西從西班牙轉隊到法國，他穿的球衣10天就賣出新台幣十多億元，這樣的產值實在嚇人！運動明星更是國家、社會的典範與資產。NBA的籃球巨星喬丹在NBA的15年，為NBA和球團賺進千億元台幣，更為運動鞋業創造難以估算的業績。他本人固然名利雙收，但是球品、球技更是年輕人追尋的典範。所以談體育政策不能只著重一次比賽的得失，我們更要有整體性的規劃和結構的改變才行。

我的看法是，在結構上，要把體育署改為部級單位，不要放在教育部底下， #要讓懂體育的人來制定和執行體育政策。給充足的經費， #讓運動員無後顧之憂。不要再有奧運十項全能銀牌的亞洲鐵人楊傳廣，退休後竟然須以乩童為業的遺憾。政府在賦稅政策的減免要更加大方，讓有心參與投資運動的上市企業感受到政府的肯定和支持；沒有上市的企業也應該考慮是否用基金會的模式或任何減免稅賦的方式來鼓勵，避免像桃猿La New劉保佑董事長那麽熱愛棒球或兄弟飯店的棒球隊，都因為企業規模不大，最後割愛於他人。

體育的推廣需要產業化、企業化，才能成長茁壯。

運動能團結人心，超越所有黨派。在競技場上靠的就是實力，要馬兒肥，就讓馬兒先吃草。既然是個產業，就要集合社會各界共同來參與，請到好的教練，採購更好的訓練設備、器材。培養重點奪牌項目，但也要嘗試新的項目，例如跳水運動。我們的獎牌大都集中在個人或兩人之項目，例如羽球、桌球、舉重，跆拳、空手道，拳擊、射箭這種個人項目。兵法攻則有餘，守則不足。不要什麼都參加，挑項目，單點突破，整體的成績加總就會好。政府要做挑高見遠的事情，不要像辦中元普度拜拜一樣，熱鬧一天，過了也沒人管了。我期待體育能真正走上正軌，政府支持，企業自然會跟進的。

#運動是一門專業，不要再說「志在參加，不在奪牌」這類自己欺騙自己的話。我們要更快、更高、更強、更團結

This is the first piano solo piece that I compose. It’s actually for my assignment, hope you enjoy it?

The piano solo piece “ Miss You in the Rain” is about the feeling of nostalgia and missing someone. When it starts to rain, the feeling of melancholy emerges. Then, the music starts smoothly just like the rain. The music uses a lot of borrowed chords from minor key, to express the feeling of melancholy. The three continuous similar or same quaver notes(e.g. bar 11, 12,31) simulate the sound of raindrops.
When the rain becomes heavier and heavier, so does the emotion, thus the music gets faster and louder. The music gradually changes to minor key, indicating negative emotion arising, but is resisted and refused. The emotion gets stronger and stronger and is finally vented through the explosive piano glissando sound.
Everything stops. The rain takes away the emotion slowly and quietly, just like the music, becoming softer and going on with a higher pitch, sounding like it is getting further and further. When the music stops, the rain stops.

I am still learning music, maybe I have written something wrong, you can leave a comment below? Cheers!
