old sayings
by blackgoldfishDon't panic.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
The smallest deed is better than the biggest intention.
Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.
The only reason you die is because you live.
Take the chance while you still have the choice.
The only thing you truly own is your time.
Be brave enough to live creatively.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Impossible is a word only to be found in the dictionary of fools.
Keep true to the dreams of your youth.
The beginning of wisdom is to desire it.
Always begin with an end in mind.
The eyes believe themselves; the ears believe other people.
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become.
Pick a path with heart.
Take a chance in the near future.
Change your luck today.
Rest is a good thing, but boredom is its brother.
Let the spirit of adventure set the tone.
Dare to dream, hope, believe, seek, feel, find, and love.
Be mischievous and you will not be lonesome.
Originality overcomes everything.
Good luck is the result of good planning.

by blackgoldfish"learn to write about the ordinary. give homage to old coffee cups, sparrows, city buses, thin ham sandwiches. make a list of everything ordinary you can think of. keep adding to it. promise yourself, before you leave the earth, to mention everything on your list at least once in a poem, short story, newspaper article."
A Day is a Tourist, A Year is a Traveler
by blackgoldfish『A day is a step, a year is a tango. A day is a tourist, a year is a traveler. A day is a chance encounter, a year says love. A day is frustration, a year is a melody. A day is a lump of clay, a year is whatever you want it to be. A day is a thought, a year is a philosophy. Every year counts. Glenfiddich.』-Glenfiddich〈Every Year Counts〉TVC

前言︰希望你不要找到我。
by blackgoldfish「她說她倆的愛情變成了習慣,只有感情。習慣的開始,都是默契吧?是大家用時閒和精神去建立,有愛情,也可以有習慣的。還是你有了新刺激,於是馬上覺得舊有的都不能令你感到有趣了?」
i will work for vitamin C
by blackgoldfishAbout 10 years ago, I remember going to work with a raging cold. It was the latest in a series of weird little illnesses I'd picked up over the two previous years.
'I have no idea what's wrong with me,' I remember lamenting to my boss, Mike. 'I'm generally healthy as a horse.'
'Oh please, Karen,' said Mike. 'You haven't noticed how you always get ill when you're stressed? I can almost predict the day you're going to come down with something, just by looking at your workload.'
I remember being incredibly shocked by this, and vehemently denying it ... until I realized he was right. And you'd think by now I'd learn to stock up on vitamins during stressful times, but that would require logic and planning on my part, wouldn't it ...
... anyway, as I type this, I'm lying in bed, full of one of Marcus' fabulous seafood stews, and about to take a good swig of Nyquil. And yes, while my current state is indicative of what I've been facing at work, the truth is that today I took the first of many steps toward alleviating my stress. And it was a big first step, too. So even though I feel like hammered dog shit, the good thing is that I feel like very happy, very content hammered dog shit.
You know, in a manner of speaking.

夠不夠
by blackgoldfish「她想告訴他,如果你想跟一個女人長相廝守,你應該找一個令你不感寂寞的人。她想告訴他,我們總不能憑著看不見對方時的感覺去選擇,因為到最後,兩個人會看見對方的時候比看不見的多。」
在甜美的剎那之外
by blackgoldfish「總是會有這樣的狀態。在某個你準備得非常妥當,要去完成一件事的時候,一個無法解釋的當下,你忽地改變了念頭。如此幽微的,大概只能說是跟周圍的空氣或光線都有關係吧。」
