James Blunt - 1973

Simona
You're getting older
Your journey's been
Etched on your skin

Simona
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
has been and gone

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

Simona
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone

Simona
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we both stayed out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973

張學友,林憶蓮-日與夜

（林憶蓮）與你約錯終點　命運都改編
　　　　　我愛你快了一點　你發現慢了點
　　　　　某天我吻過你腮邊　連情節也擾亂
　　　　　最好全部記憶收起　終會淡忘你的臉

（張學友）如果盛世之戀　到日落時就結束
　　　　　開遍全城燈火　照亮了天際
　　　　　試問白晝會否不完　繼續熱鬧像下午兩點
（林憶蓮）若我不出家門　鐘錶摔破　窗簾緊閉著
　　　　　時間會不會暫停　停在夜半三點

（合　唱）與你約錯終點　命運都改編
　　　　　我愛你快了一點　你發現慢了點
　　　　　也許我怕錯過今天　人潮將彼此蓋掩
　　　　　永遠擦過你身邊　碰上仍遇不見

（林憶蓮）如果盛世之戀　到日落時就結束
　　　　　開遍全城燈火　照亮了天際
　　　　　試問白晝會否不完　繼續熱鬧像下午兩點
（張學友）若我不出家門　鐘錶摔破　窗簾緊閉著
　　　　　時間會不會暫停　能讓我未做的做完

（合　唱）也許你我會分開　共度著一生　像日夜等不到黎明黃昏
　　　　　於無聊時路過的籃球場上　於玩樂後經過的便利店中
　　　　　於靜默的鐵　於寂寞路邊　都落力地找你的迷途情感
　　　　　當你我錯過今天人潮將彼此蓋掩
　　　　　仍期望有生一天跟你有緣吻一遍

（林憶蓮）與你約錯終點　再邂逅是那天

...

難過的感覺就好似食左自助餐咁
你食完第二日唔會即刻變肥仔
但係D肥就會慢慢慢慢咁沁出黎

吼!

(A) Quote(s) a day

"Don’t complain that life is too unfair to you just because life simply does not know who you are."

So Close - Jon McLaughlin

don't want to think too much these days (ok...i know i seldom use my brain in fact), hope the music helps but too lazy to look for new songs, but the old songs are good enough still. plan to leave the links here and perhaps years later when i need the music therapy again, i can follow the tracks here without clicking randomly in my messy harddisk.

So Close - Jon McLaughlin (Enchanted OST)

You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far we are so close
How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let's go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

:)

Richard St. John's 8 secrets of success | Video on TED.com

"This is really a two hour presentation I give to high school students, cut down to three minutes. And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago. And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager, and she came from a really poor family. And she wanted to make something of her life, and she asked me a simple little question. She said, "What leads to success?" And I felt really badly, because I couldn't give her a good answer. So I get off the plane, and I come to TED. And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle of a room of successful people! So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed, and pass it on to kids? So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later, and I'm gonna tell you what really leads to success and makes TED-sters tick. And the first thing is passion. Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion." TED-sters do it for love, they don't do it for money. Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do." And the interesting thing is, if you do it for love, the money comes anyway. Work! Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun." Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes! TED-sters do have fun working. And they work hard. I figured, they're not workaholics. They're workafrolics. Good! Alex Garden says, "To be successful put your nose down in something and get damn good at it." There's no magic, it's practice, practice, practice. And it's focus. Norman Jewison said to me, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing" And push! David Gallo says, "Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you've gotta push, push, push." You gotta push through shyness and self-doubt. Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts. I wasn't good enough, I wasn't smart enough. I didn't think I'd make it." Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers. (Laughter) Frank Gehry -- Frank Gehry said to me, "My mother pushed me." Serve! Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor." Now a lot of kids tell me they want to be millionaires. And the first thing I say to them is, "OK, well you can't serve yourself, you gotta serve others something of value. Because that's the way people really get rich." Ideas. TED-ster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea -- founding the first micro-computer software company." I'd say it was a pretty good idea. And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas, it's just doing some very simple things. And I give lots of evidence. Persist. Joe Kraus says, "Persistence is the number one reason for our success." You gotta persist through failure. You gotta persist through crap! Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure." (Laughter) So, the big -- the answer to this question is simple: Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED. Or failing that, do the eight things -- and trust me, these are the big eight things that lead to success. Thank you TED-sters for all your interviews!"

Not a new insight, but i like short speech, and the best part is ---


And push! David Gallo says, "Push yourself.Physically, mentally, you've gotta push, push, push." You gotta push through shyness and self-doubt. Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts. I wasn't good enough, I wasn't smart enough. I didn't think I'd make it." Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers. Frank Gehry -- Frank Gehry said to me, "My mother pushed me."
