「第一天」與「最後一天」

「時光不能倒流,但態度可以回轉。」

「維持第一天的熱情,保有最後一天的戒慎!」

史提夫.賈伯斯(Steven Paul Jobs) 製造了世界第一部個人電腦Apple I,是蘋果公司(Apple Inc.) 的創辦人之一。他每天早上會問自己一個問題:「如果今天是我這輩子的最後一天,我今天要做些什麼?」

賈伯斯的一段話:「提醒自己快死了,是我在人生中面臨重大決定時,所用過最重要的方法。因為幾乎每件事—所有外界期望、所有的名聲、所有對困窘或失敗的恐懼-在面對死亡時,都消失了,只有最真實重要的東西才會留下。」

他又補充說:「提醒自己快死了,是我所知避免掉入畏懼失去的陷阱裡的最好方法。人生不帶來、死不帶去,沒理由不能順心而為。」

「第一天」又是什麼呢?「第一天」入學,我們對學校、課本、同學充滿好奇心...「第一天」上班,我們謙虛,願意學習,有衝勁...「第一天」約會,我們心如鹿撞,珍惜相處的每一刻...「第一天」升職,新官上任三把火,雄心壯志,要有所作為...回想我們做任何事的「第一天」,都是我們最有活力的一天。請用最積極的態度渡過每分每秒。

這是我從網路節錄改編而成的,與大家分享。

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me

Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……

“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.

“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!

“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.
