Thoughts to You from Yours Truly - ( YTTY ) - ( 40 ) - Inspiration ( 靈感 ) - Nov., 12, 2010

Inspiration is a sudden flash of intellectual brilliance that enables one to see the world and oneself from a higher perspective. One cannot be sure whence it will come. Suffice it to say that maintaining a tranquil mindset will enhance the chances of its emergence. Needless to say, inspiration must be supported by knowledge and preferably wisdom to make it fruitful.

靈感是一團突然閃耀的智慧光芒。它會令人耳目一新,能在更高的一個層次察覺和理解自己以及這世界。我們不能肯定它從那裡來。只可以說一件事,保持一個平靜的心境,便能大大增加靈感降臨的可能性。當然,如要它能開花結果,我們必須以學識和智慧去扶持它。

Thoughts to You from Yours Truly - ( TYYT ) - ( 39 ) - The Matter of Age ( 有關年齡問題 ) - Nov. 11, 2010

I have always admired ladies who choose to be open about their age. It shows great self confidence and defiance of an accepted but nonsensical taboo. To me, age is entirely a matter of the heart. One can be aged at 20 or youthful at 60. Optimism and pessimism define young and old respectively.

我一向都敬佩對自己年齡持開放態度的女士。這展露了她們的自信,和藐視不合情理的禁忌。在我而言,年齡純粹是心境問題。一個人可以是二十歲便心境蒼老,或者六十歲還是心境年輕。就是積極和消極兩種不同的態度,便分別主宰着年輕和年老的心境了。
