”奇跡と言うのは、普通に考えれば、絶対起きない出来事が、そうなってほしいと願う人間の強い意志で起きる事です。奇跡が起こるから奇跡といいます。自分には無理だと諦めている人たちには絶対起きません。”

The idea of "In Time" was great, but not developed very well.

Nov 27 Why good ideas may not work in a different context
Example 1: 某某馬拉松在補給站利用當地食材,準備"牡蠣丼"幫跑者補充元氣! (在台灣會一個人吃好幾個,後到者就沒得吃...)
Example 2: 某某網站提供意見平台讓跑者發表賽後心得 (看看鄉民的發言風格...)

Nov 11 私が恋愛できない理由
わたしがオジサン過ぎかな、知らない若いキャストばかり
ノート、とらなきゃ："友達関係の男女って、どちらかが相手に気がある、その思いを心の中にそっとしまっておいて関係を作る、そういう形なら、友情はありえないかな。でも、ただ単に一緒にいると楽って思う人もいるけど。"

Oct 16 - AMS 8K RUN
熟悉的人物和場景,雖然一年比一年慢,但一年比一年黑皮! 今年只跑了這一場,在義大利雖也想跑,一次報了米蘭市區10k,但時間跟學校活動衝突,一次想跑4人接力馬拉松,但同學一聽到"跑步還要繳錢",就沒人想參加了,還有一次想報環湖半馬,但當時腰酸背痛像個老人不敢輕舉妄動...

Oct 13 - 世界中で人気を博した『キャプテン翼』©高橋陽一
據說1983年的今天是足球小將翼的卡通首播
"その人気は社会現象にもなった。その後、現実世界でも、中田英寿や中村俊輔、小野伸二ら『キャプテン翼』を見て育った世代が1990年代に躍動。日本サッカーは飛躍的な進化を遂げ、人気スポーツとして定着。『キャプテン翼』が日本サッカー界の発展に果たした功績は大きい。"

Quote from Steve Jobs: "You can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust the dots will somehow connecting in the future."

The brand image of Taiwan, as I found from limited samples in Europe:
30%: Taipei 101
30%: Made in Taiwan (Acer, Asus, HTC)
30%: They know nothing about Taiwan
10%: What's going on between China and Taiwan?

Aug 25 抄來的
あの時、もう少しだったのに、惜しかったな。
話をしながら、人生の機微について考えていた。運と不運、偶然と必然などはどんな仕組みで働くのだろうか。「もしもあのとき」は単なる愚痴なんだろうか。本当に人生はやっかいで、しかし、よく出来ている。

後記: (轉載自某處)
不要想如果，生命中不可承受之情，就在於人生沒有重來的機會
每一個岔口的選擇其實沒有真正的好與壞
只要把人生 看成是自己獨一無二的創作，就不會頻頻回首
人生只售單程票，過去的就過去了
更重要的是走好後面的路，收藏好沿途的點滴。

There are questions I cannot answer,
And there are answers I've found out,
Though what good an answer is, if no one bothers to ask.

Again I reached a crossroad, looking left and right. Hurry up or be hit by a passing truck.

Off to a shopping mall, trying to buy a power adapter for my Nintendo DSL. But either it's sold as bundles with useless stuff, or it comes with useless function (also charges PSP) for me. Without finishing my main task, I had a lousy pizza, played basketball machine, found a cinema that plays only Italian-dubbed movie, and went home for a nap. Then in the evening, I experimented a new recipe cooking daikon (white radish) by rice cooker. じゃ、今夜の注文はソーセージ大根イタリア風ライスで決まり! Buono!

我的樓上住了二位伊朗女子,一個很愛發言但毫無內容條理,一個聲音輕柔但上台就緊張,一個討厭回教,一個教我穆斯林怎麼禱告,一個想跟我借電鍋卻放我鴿子,一個請我吃她姊煮的伊朗菜,一個抱怨沒有夜生活,一個想家流眼淚, 但兩人的共通點是: 第一科考試都被當了
(後記:機車女問我問題,我說:"可以增加營運效率..." 她回:"可是這個建議太籠統了,我覺得應該要增加營運效率..." 我心想:"是鬼打牆喔??")

在我32.5歲之前,我從沒覺得自己老過,我幾乎不曾掉過鑰匙,睡過頭而遲到大概只發生過2次,基本上任何跌股的事都不會發生在我身上,但最近這半年,不管生理或心理我都老了,護照送洗,坐錯公車(605看成505),台北捷運坐到反方向,義大利火車上錯車,走路撞到頭,以前宿醉一晚,現在宿醉一天,感冒要快一週才會好,錢包裡面沒悠遊卡還拼命在機器前刷,頭髮也邁向M型社會...這兩週又開始背痛...完全是個老人...
(Feb 5補充: 本日創舉是把冷水加到泡麵裡...)

Jan 22 @ San Siro
喔喔! 聖西羅!
Among the football stadium I've visited (ManUtd, Barcelona, Ajax, ACMilan), San Siro ranks the 4th. Small museum, small souvenir shop, and hardly-impressive stadium itself.

Tyler Cowen on "Whether economists need a code of conduct":
"I FAVOUR such codes, but I'm not sure they will help much. First, most economic research doesn't matter in the first place. Second, the research which does matter very often is distorted anyway." hahaha
