[鬼翻譯] Nosleep－我搬到住著怪異居民的小鎮５

 接續上文：我搬到住著怪異居民的小鎮４https://bit.ly/2KbrsbB 那天晚上，我懷著坐立難安的心情走回家，對他人的窺視保持警覺。儘管街上空無一人，但我很肯定在某個時刻，有人從窗戶向外偷看。為了避免引起不必要的懷疑，我盡可能表現的神色自若。 一進家門，我立刻將前後門與窗戶都上鎖，然後再次確認一切安全無虞。我沒有將窗簾全部緊閉，因為這樣做可能會讓監視我的人覺得不太對勁。 比前幾天更劇烈的頭痛席捲而來，讓剛走進臥室的我有些踉蹌。透過模糊的視線，我看到那座塔上的紅光閃爍。又過了一會兒，我的頭痛逐漸緩和。 「沒有時間了！」 我心想，大概不用多久，我就會變得像這裡的居民一樣... 所有我千方百計想搞懂的事情，都一定和那座塔有關！ 我如坐針氈，不確定是否正被監視。最終，我選擇躺進被窩，強迫自己入睡，但想當然爾，那一晚依舊輾轉難眠。 早晨，準備開車去上班時，我看到瑪西與他先生奧利佛正在街上散步。 「親愛的，早安！」她停下來和我打招呼：「工作很累吧？」 「還好，不會太累。」我帶著笑容回應。 「記得凡事小心為先。」奧利佛一臉嚴肅的說：「我們都不想遭遇那可憐女孩身上發生的事。」 我不太確定他在警告還是威脅我。 「我相信克里斯會把自己照顧得很好的，奧利佛。」瑪西拍了拍她丈夫的手，接著對我說：「親愛的，祝你有個美好的一天。」 看著他們離開的背影，我不禁困惑這裡的居民真的有這麼愛散步嗎？還是...他們為了確 保沒有任何可疑的活動而在巡邏？ 這天我完全無心工作，時不時盯著手錶看，終於到了下午兩點三十分，我準備前往貝拉咖啡館。 「克里斯，下午三點十五有會要開，你需要到場。」午餐時，其中一位同事跟我說。 這似乎讓巧遇的說法變得有些為難，所以我決定隨便掰一個理由。 「我其實那時候正好有跟醫生約診，所以要等到開完會你們再跟我討論。」我很快隨便編了一個藉口，但同事居然沒有任何怨言，讓我有些驚訝。 時間終於來到下午兩點半，我起身出了辦公室。因為咖啡廳就在附近，所以我就直接往那走。 半路上，我突然想到或許自己應該隨身攜帶個什麼防身武器之類的，以防萬一，但又覺得可能根本用不上。就算我真的刺了要傷害我的人又能怎樣？加上還會多背一條傷害罪名在身上。 況且另一種比較可能的情況，我們直接被警察逮捕或被居民團團包圍... 咖啡廳已經人聲鼎沸，但卻還不見克萊爾的蹤影。我點了一杯咖啡，然後逼迫自己逛逛社群媒體，以壓制著轉頭看自己肩膀後方的衝動，腦袋裡幻想著克萊爾可能是要把我引進陷阱的誘餌或乾脆直接放鴿子，這些思緒讓我變得越來越多疑且躁動。 直到聽見克萊爾愉悅的聲音在我身後響起，我才又被拉回現實。 「克里斯，嗨！竟然會在這裏遇見你！」 「嗨，克萊爾！看來這裡真的很熱門耶，妳居然也會來？」我配合她的劇本演著。 「是阿！不過也是因為我今天工作完成的比較早，想說來這裡買杯飲料，而且這裡的咖啡真的是全鎮我最推的！」她臉上帶著笑意。 這時，我的餘光看到有個顧客正在往我們這裡偷瞄。不過一當我們眼神對上時，他又火速轉開，假裝沒事般的繼續與他的同伴聊天。 「嘿！妳現在有時間和我散散步嗎？我記得附近有座公園？」我問。 「好啊！走吧！」克萊爾說。 將費用放在桌上後，我們一起離開了咖啡廳。走去公園的路上，我們兩人先是聊了些無關緊要的話題儘管現在回想起來，公園可能比密閉空間來的更危險，但那時我的確覺得終於得以躲避那些目光，而感到安心不少。 「我真的很喜歡這裡！」她說：「尤其冬天的時候，雪讓這座城鎮變得很夢幻。」 在長椅坐下，我們注意到斜前方有個老人正在看報紙，於是陷入沉默了大概一到兩分鐘，聽著鳥鳴，順便觀察附近的狀況。 「克里斯，你現在的處境非常危險。」克萊爾打破沉默，但沒有看向我：「這個城鎮比你想像中的更危險。」 「第一天搬來的時候，我就有發現怪事接二連三的發生。」我看著她說。 「我需要再和你談談珍妮佛的事情。你說你在她死前幾天的夜裡有看到她？」 「對，她在我家門前，全身髒兮兮又飽受驚嚇的樣子，而且衣服已經被撕開，整個人破破爛爛的，然後一直求我幫她，不然他們會把她抓走送回去，總之感覺起來很嚇人。然後警察出現，將她逮捕，並且聲稱珍妮佛是個危險的罪犯。我當初應該救她的...」 克萊爾一臉擔憂，她說：「你真的沒辦法為她做什麼。珍妮佛她不斷地提到高塔的事情，以及這裡的居民是怎麼被那個洗腦的等等。一開始沒人相信她，我也不相信，但後來她給我看了一段影片。我們那天都在公司加班到很晚...但不知道發生什麼事，我對那段記憶完全空白...明明之前的事我都記得...可是...我以為只有我這樣...」 「等等，你可以再說仔細一點嗎？」 「就是我的印象中，上一秒珍妮佛還靜靜地坐在我旁邊，下一秒她突然驚慌失措、身體顫抖，嘴裡喃喃自語。」 「怎麼會這樣？」 「你看看這個。」 她打開手機上的相簿，點擊了其中一個影片讓我看。影片是以第一人稱視角拍攝的，但影片實在晃到我幾乎看不清楚錄像裡的畫面。 好不容易我才恍然大悟，拍攝者就是珍妮佛，而影片中有數十個人兩手毫無生氣的垂在身體旁邊，並且用空洞的眼神死盯著鏡頭看。 「你們想做什麼？」珍妮佛哭喊的聲音從影片傳來。 而那群人立即齊聲模仿珍妮佛： 「你們想做什麼？？？」 他們的聲音整齊到如同單獨一個人發出來的，沒有毫秒的差距。 珍妮佛教鏡頭上下轉動，這時我看到克萊爾也站在那群人中，看著她。 「不要這樣！拜託停止！」珍妮佛再次哭喊。 「不要這樣！拜託停止！」那群人跟著喊。 「求求你們！」珍妮佛又一次哭喊，而那群人用沒有抑揚頓挫的聲音繼續模仿她。 「放過我好不好！」她大叫，但這瞬間所有人又突然恢復正常。 大家臉上都露出擔憂的神情，克萊爾這時走到她面前問：「珍，你還好嗎？怎麼了？」 影片拍攝到這裡就結束了。 我將手機還給克萊爾，然後做出了一個「哇喔」的口型，克萊爾將手機放回自己的口袋，接著問我：「就我自己來說，這一切似乎都是那座高塔蓋起來以後才發生的。告訴我，你最近有沒有突然的頭痛或記憶喪失？任何細節都好？」 我點點頭：「從前幾天開始，我就斷斷續續的頭痛，大概都是在每天的同一個時間發生的。」 「對！大概晚上八點二十分左右，塔的燈也是在那時候亮起。」 兩個中年人從我們面前經過，我等他們走遠後才繼續說：「克萊爾，那一晚在吉姆家，你們的行為也跟影片中的一模一樣。」 克萊爾輕嘆一口氣：「我完全不記得了...但在珍妮佛給我看影片之後，她告訴我塔的燈 光是怎麼影響這裡的居民，那時我才知道原來之前斷片的狀況，並不如同心理師說的是『心因性』的。」 「但你似乎沒有其他人被影響的這個嚴重。」 「自從和珍談過這些後，我在晚上那段時間前，就會先戴上耳塞，而我本來也打算在遊戲之夜這樣做，但我沒有注意到時間。等我回神，就發現你已經離開了，我們繼續若無其事地玩遊戲。雖然我已經住在這好一陣子了，但或許塞耳塞這個方法有讓我比較慢被同化。不過無論如何，如果我持續暴露在高塔詭異的燈光下，我最後一定會變得跟他們一樣，你也會。」 「所以我們需要離開這裡？」我問。 「做不到。」 「為什麼？」 「珍妮佛試圖逃離過兩次，但每次都被警察所設的路障給打下來。而且那兩條往外的路全被封鎖了。」 我想起瑪西之前對我說的，沒有人搬來，又離開過。我突然意識到在克萊爾的句子中所透露的資訊，比我最初懷疑的還要深很多。 「所以，我們只有一個辦法了，我們必須去塔那邊一探究竟。」我說，她點頭表示同意。 我撇了一眼那個看報紙的老頭，他正翻面繼續讀著。 「那裏就是第二個奇怪的點發生的地方！」 她說：「在珍妮佛消失之前，她有告訴過我一樣的計劃。她很確定只要毀掉那座塔，就會讓大家不再受到控制，但她一去不回。」 我消化著龐大的資訊，思索了一會兒。 「那座塔到底是怎麼一回事！」我有些大聲的說：「瑪西曾跟我說，在塔被蓋起來的時候，曾經有一群詭異陰沈的人，開著箱型車過來鎮上。」 「我也認為他們應該和這一切有關聯，但他們急匆匆完工離開，因此沒人有辦法知道那群人是誰或為誰工作。可是我們必須到高塔那裏，克里斯。我想山丘上連條路都沒有，那座塔也可能是無人看守的。」 我瞄向右方，心臟差點被我吐出來。有個高個子的男人就站在不遠處，正臉面向著我和克萊爾。他完全沒有迴避，很直接地看向我們。我立馬又向讀報紙老人的方向看，我發現他的眼睛也已經死盯著我們，坐在我們附近長椅上的兩個中年人，也安靜的瞪著我們。 「我們必須離開這裡，但要慢慢的。」我輕聲對克萊爾說，當她意會到這個狀況臉色立馬變得慘白。 我們起身，然後往原路向回走，並且對於公園中盯著我們的人都保持高度的警覺，他們每個人都停下手邊的事情，專注在我們身上。 等到我們終於穿過那些人，卻發現他們跟在後面一起走。 「不要回頭看。」走出公園的路上，我對克萊爾說。 在公園外和街道上的人們，也站的直挺挺的，眼神一樣鎖定在我們身上。 「快跑！」我說，然後我們快速選擇了一條最沒人的路，往前衝刺。 更多人的在我們奔跑時，迎面而來，但他們也沒有做出任何要阻止我們的動作。轉了個彎，看到一大群人擋住我們的去路。 「往回跑！」我大喊，然後我們又朝反方向繼續奔逃，可是一切都太遲了... 人群團團將我們圍住，吉姆這時從人群中走了出來，笑的和平常一樣，然後說：「嘿！孩子們！到公園散步啊？也對，今天天氣很適合出來走走。看吧，克里斯。我之前就和你說過克萊爾對你別有意思了吧。」他眨眨眼。 「吉姆，你到底要幹嘛？」我問。 「昨天我們談過了，不是嗎？關於逞英雄這件事，記得嗎？我還以為已經達成共識了，但我錯了。自作孽的傢伙，本來週五還打算玩尋凶妙探耶。」 他將手插在腰上，搖著頭，像極一位對孩子失望的家長。 「噢！我想我們勢必要找個替代人選了！」他對著大家打了個暗號，那些人開始粗暴的要抓住我和克萊爾。 我大喊希望他們可以放了我們，而克萊爾則是邊求救邊哭喊。我不停掙扎，但當我好不容易擺脫一個人，其他人又會瞬間把我抓著。很快的，我就被壓制在地上。 在我昏死過去前最後記得的一件事是，吉姆走上前來，對我說： 「運動健將，我想你需要好好休息一下。」 原文網址：I just moved into a small town and there is something wrong with the people living here [Part 5] https://bit.ly/34I1V3e

With a ram! A ram! A ram for victory! Except when it comes to winning an A from the NYC Health Inspector. or most sports. Fordham University 2020 Pizza is good, but love is it! Buffalo Chicken Wraps from the grill were the only delicious food on campus. No class on Wednesdays meant a definite trip to the Bronx Zoo. 清大工學院畢業，在學時修過工業會計、工程經濟、國際經貿法、精實生產與管理等商學院學分，對財務有基礎背景知識。在高科技創業與營運課程中，曾擔任四人團隊中CFO的角色，計畫商業模式與籌資計畫，模擬公司如何在五年內IPO，並實際跟多位創投公司做簡報經驗。畢業後到新加坡工作半年多，協助新加坡國立大學的研究中心的技術商品化，工作內容是商業獲利模式提案與評估行銷預算。在加入專案的過程中發現對財務會計的興趣，想要深入發展這塊領域。工業工程是了解一家公司如何生產運作，而會計是一家公司的營運結果數據，兩者息息相關。非常希望有在會計事務所工作的機會，未來職涯發展希望可以深入產業，規劃財務計畫。I majored in Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM) in National Tsing Hua University (Hsintsu, Taiwan) during 2010-2014 and received my bachelor degree of the science and also finished the interdisciplinary program in innovation Design Engineering. After the college training, I went to Singapore to gain internship experience. As a research assistant now at the Connective Ubiquitous Technology for Embodiments (CUTE) Center in National Singapore University, I conduct user study and redesign of few projects.At Tsing Hua, my learning in Innovation Design Engineering was fruitful with high performance. In product design and development class, I find out that people have become more aware of healthy diet and food allergies nowadays. Therefore, our team aimed to develop utensils that could help analyzing our food and detect the substance. We conducted user studies and reconsidered how to make detectors incorporated into the utensils, such as posting the information to the internet platform to build the feedback system. Potential users could take food safer in their own hands by using our technology.In 2012, I receive the Scholarship for the Taiwan to China summer exchange, and went to Harbin Institute of Technology University. As an independent study, I recorded the customer behaviors and queuing behaviors in the supermarket. From this experience, I learned how the cultural and environmental factors affecting design. The experience affect me most is that I had been to food manufacturing factory in 2013 Lean Production class. I interviewed a machine operator; He had a finger cut off by a machine while using the faulty design. He told me how important the work safety and defensive design are. His words was curved in my mind, I realize that thorough user study and good product design can minimize the negative consequences in the working place.I accessed various companies, APPs development startup and factories to conducted field studies at my college years. I have found that many industries are still using traditional way to run the services when companies conduct market surveys by using telephone interviews and conventional questionnaires to analyze user behaviors. In the entrepreneurship course, I and my three friends try to run a startup company, GivtU. We tried to build an environment or a game which can test the customer behavior by using user friendly interaction, so the client doesn’t have to conduct time-consuming surveys. Furthermore, the decision-makers and designers can get more efficiency and accuracy customer behaviors and preference.To gain practical experience, I worked at CUTE Center at NUS since 2014 summer, I engaged in three programs for searching more about the Interactive Digital Media. I am conducting user study of few projects such as Crowd trails and Digital Taste. Digital Taste enable people to experience taste sensations digitally and arms to promote a healthier lifestyle by replacing unnecessary amount of condiments in our daily consumption. I designed the bottle prototype with function as a hydration. During our showcase at Singapore Art Science Museum, we conducted a larger user. We chose six fixed modes and combinations for testing the participants. From the overall user study results, we may conclude that the prototype is able to improve the drinking experience for a number of users. Applying VC in Singapore now, our challenge is how to customize people taste sensation and create new design for making the simulation more natural.“Not only do the thing right, but also do the right thing” goes one of my favorite sayings.Consequently, I sincerely look forward of the challenge to help fulfill my career plan.https://www.linkedin.com/in/annette-li-an-chiu/

2024 1114 阿成：聰穎 Brilliance

2024 1114 阿成：聰穎 Brilliance 預約的時間到了，遲遲沒看到人影上線，原來還在工作，真的是辛苦了。 阿成說自己的房屋銷售員，政府頒布了幾個專案，讓許多年輕人原本只能默默放在心中的購屋念頭，瞬間有了具體實現的機會，因此很多客人約著要看房子。 阿成說，看起來絡繹不絕的客人潮，好像能夠有不錯的成交結果和獎金收入，但實則並沒有如此美好。 他說，大家都會在網路找資料，爬文，做許多的功課。 我則認為這樣是正確的，減少了資訊落差，也就不會有人被當冤大頭任意宰殺，血流成河的慘況。 阿成說，立場不同啦。 我同意。我也反問阿成，你看車子，會不會先做功課，先問一下別人或者上網。 他說，當然會啊。 我說，那就對了呀。房子，多貴，一輩子可能就這麼一次機會，謹慎點再出手，合理呀。 我再進而分享自己的想法給阿成，我說，若房子好，價錢合理，不須你發揮舌燦蓮花之洗腦大法，有興趣的客戶，一看就懂，就下單了。若房子不怎麼樣，價錢又不合理，你再怎麼勤勞，再怎麼帶不同組的客人前往，在現在資訊更為透明的時代，有機會成功嗎？當然沒有。 每個產業都在喊生意不好做，每個老闆都在說壓力好大，每個員工都在哭做不下去了。 會吵的比較會有糖吃，哭、鬧、折騰，好像比較能夠獲得更好的待遇。 所以，遇到人，遇到事，先哭鬧！先比慘！已成為大家面對事情的第一反應。 好像成為了全民運動似的，大家的慣性。 其實，世界上絕頂聰明就那幾個人，世界上80%的財富也在那些人的手上，我們這些80%的平凡人就是努力、認真、拚命在剩下的20%財富爭奪自己的財富地位。 可能我認識的都是一般人，還真沒發覺誰的工作有比較好做。 阿成接著說帶新人很累，很麻煩，不想這樣過日子。 可小小職員的我們哪有說”不”的立場與機會，況且帶新人是很好的學習，但固執的阿成你說，你什麼都不想要，你只想做好自己的工作就好。 可是我們都知道，工作不可能獨善其身，就如同活在這個世界上一樣，人不可能只顧好自己就好。 不過，深感疲憊又覺厭煩的阿成，你已完全不想聽這些話。 我也只能跟你說，照顧好自己，跟主管聊聊，還有最近天氣變化大，注意身體適應。 然後，你說了，你覺得何時開始整個人都不對了。 原來，你帶著客人去了一間不是很乾淨的房子，你說從那天之後你常覺頭暈。 我當下建議你隔天去找專業的人協助一下，並且在心中跟對方打聲招呼，對於打擾了感到抱歉。 你才恍然大悟到自己竟然沒注意到這樣的註記和禁忌，真的是不應該。 看來，最近的你因疲憊和心情不佳，對於工作沒有了之前的嚴謹和熱情，很是可惜。 有些過錯，是完全不可犯的，而我覺你因情緒控制不佳而觸碰到了禁忌，還讓你的客戶因你的不小心而身體不適，這是很不應該。而這些實在很難對於已經不堪負荷的你再多說的話。 只能藉由請宇宙透過抽塔羅牌的指引給你祝福 ~ 而宇宙送給你的塔羅牌祝福是【聰穎 Brilliance】。 宇宙提醒，我跟你分享的是你最近忽視且不在意，但對你而言應是很重要的事情。 如果你有靜下心聽進我傳達給你的文字和有點擔憂你的心思，你應該會有「啊！豁然開朗。」的當下震撼與感受。 倘若沒有，很可惜，你錯過了宇宙透過我們聊天的機會給予你的指引和祝福。 期冀過幾天，你的心情平復許多，能回看我們的對話，也許那時還有機會可以接收到這關鍵的灼見。 2024-11-14 Ah Cheng: Brilliance The scheduled time arrived, yet you hadn’t logged in. It turned out you were still working—really tough on you. Ah Cheng mentioned he’s a real estate agent, and the government recently rolled out a few programs that have given many young people the tangible chance to pursue homeownership, something they’d only dreamed of before. As a result, many clients are eager to schedule viewings. He said that while the influx of clients might look promising for good sales and bonuses, reality isn’t quite as bright. People are doing extensive research online, reading up, and gathering plenty of information. I think this is great—it reduces information asymmetry, which means fewer people end up being taken advantage of. Ah Cheng said our perspectives differ. I agreed and asked if he wouldn’t also research a car before buying, by asking around or looking it up online. He said, “Of course.” So, I replied, “Exactly. Buying a house is even more expensive, and it’s likely a once-in-a-lifetime purchase. It’s only sensible to be cautious.” I went on to share my perspective: if the property is good and the price fair, you won’t need to spin persuasive pitches. Interested clients will know it’s a good deal at a glance. But if the property lacks appeal or is overpriced, no matter how hard you work or how many clients you bring through, your chances of closing the deal in today’s transparent market are slim. Every industry complains business is hard; every boss says they’re under pressure, and every employee laments they can’t go on. People who complain seem to get better treatment, so it’s as if we’ve collectively adopted whining as our first reaction to challenges. It’s almost become a national pastime. In reality, only a few truly brilliant people exist, and 80% of the world’s wealth is in their hands. The rest of us ordinary folks are just striving to claim a piece of the remaining 20%. Maybe I only know regular people, but I haven’t noticed anyone’s work getting any easier. Ah Cheng then said that training new hires is exhausting and complicated, and he doesn’t want to keep doing it. But we’re just small-time employees; we don’t have the power to say “no.” Besides, training new hires is a valuable learning experience, but stubborn Ah Cheng insists he just wants to focus on his own work. We both know work isn’t done in isolation, just as living in this world isn’t. You can’t just look out for yourself. However, an utterly worn-out Ah Cheng doesn’t want to hear this anymore. So, all I can say is: take care of yourself, talk things over with your supervisor, and with the recent weather fluctuations, be mindful of staying well. Then you mentioned that you started feeling off some time ago. It turned out you had shown a client a rather unkempt property, and since that day, you’ve often felt dizzy. I suggested you see a specialist the next day and mentally apologize for any disturbance caused. You realized that you hadn’t observed such precautions and felt it was an oversight. It seems that recently, due to exhaustion and low spirits, you’ve lost the rigor and enthusiasm you once had for work, which is unfortunate. Some mistakes simply can’t be made, and I believe that poor emotional management led you to inadvertently break a taboo, causing discomfort to your client. But given how overburdened you already are, it’s tough to say much more. So, I asked the universe to bless you through a Tarot card pull, and the universe’s gift to you is the Brilliance card. The universe reminds you that I’m sharing with you things you’ve recently ignored or dismissed, but which are very important to you. If you take my words to heart and sense the concern behind them, you might experience a moment of clarity, a “lightbulb moment.” If not, that’s unfortunate—you’ll have missed the universe’s guidance and blessing through our conversation. Hopefully, in a few days, after you’re feeling more settled, you’ll look back on our exchange and still have a chance to receive this crucial insight. #DreamCatcher #Alyson #Tarot

Why chose dateutil? There are many different time zones and different transition of Daylight Saving Time around the world. These problems were difficult to observe and solve. Paul provided an interesting case in China. China Standard Time is 8 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+8). However, the time zone in Urumqi is UTC+6. There were two time zones in China, which was confusing for some data scientists.

Deveaux New York紐約時裝周助理的一天 Part Two

Deveaux New York在Fall 2019 紐約時裝周被Vogue, Harper’s BAZAAR 等雜誌大幅報導，是新銳的低調奢華品牌。成為時裝設計的典範在不斷變化，磨練實用的技術當然重要，但是要在當今飽和的市場中轉變成品牌，就需要對女性市場的有充足的了解跟觀察。Deveaux New York設計師TOMMY TON 曾經是一名在米蘭跟巴黎的優秀攝影師，過去他曾經花了十年多的時間為時尚雜誌和網站拍照，培養出敏銳的眼光。 Fall 2019時裝周地點在 THE ATRIUM 9 West 8th Street, New York, NY 穿黑色衣服的是我在紐約跟妹妹子寧的照片 這是我在紐的照片，我自己的半身照 THE ATRIUM 9 中庭是位於曼哈頓西村的5000平方英尺的多功能場所，可以對其進行空間重新構想，並為活動的客人和/或參與者提供完全獨特的空間體驗。這個場所平時就用於時裝展覽和時裝秀 , Pop-up藝術 , 攝影畫廊跟發布會。Fall 2019 的場景，讓麻豆可以像走在街上一樣自然，在鋼琴演奏的背景音樂下穿梭互動。 Tommy Ton 不只關注於Deveaux 品牌的優勢跟暢銷產品，他們更從系列產品中尋找不同的樂趣。例如嘗試不同的服裝材質，用帶有人造羊毛皮襯裡的防水高科技面料與非結構化的派克大衣。 時裝週反映了我對人們觀看和看到他們彼此互動的熱愛。帶給人們更多省思的事要考慮表演的形式。它不僅需要直播，還可以看您邀請誰參加表演以及誰在表演服裝都可以帶來真正的改變。大部分的藝術活動跟表演，往往都是作品跟演員比較重要，但是時裝周有時觀眾比模特兒重要，像是著名雜誌編緝跟時裝博主 Aimee Song 都出席了這場時裝週。 “The show was reflective of my love of people watching and seeing them interact with each other. I think it’s important that people think about the format of their show. It takes more than simply live-streaming it to make it more relevant — who you invite to the show and who you show the clothes on makes a real difference.”BY AMY DE KLERK Annette Chiu E-mail: lian600058@gmail.com 這是我在紐的照片，我自己的半身照 2020.October 紐約小日子: 走入童話故事Caroline Hu 時裝週筆記 ｜Vogue 譽她為的禮服屬於奧斯卡獎 2019 Fall 看Caroline Hu 的時裝設計彷彿走入童話故事，一系列充滿動感，浪漫有點浮誇的禮服映入眼簾。在紐約充滿女性主義的氛圍，公主裙會讓時尚編輯們想到絆腳，跟需要被拯救的驕縱公主，在2019年顯得有點過時。但是Caroline Hu 的重新詮釋了浪漫禮服的定義，在不確定的時代，禮服不用務實也不用遵守紐約地鐵廣告裡的，要穿著基本服裝跟加入簡單生活訂閱計劃。（是小編整季時裝週10場秀裡面最喜歡的設計師之一） Caroline Hu 是時裝設計科班出生，她在世界頂尖的設計學校中央聖馬丁學院（Central Saint Martins）獲得時裝設計碩士學位，並在紐約頂尖的帕森斯（Parsons）獲得時裝設計碩士學位移居紐約與丈夫結婚。Caroline Hu 外表看起來是文青內斂的女生，但是她的設計作品充滿了少女情懷，她曾告訴媒體“我一直熱愛浪漫和情感的事物，精緻的細節和紡織品。”她在帕森（Parson）的M.F.A.展示了她的研究生收藏。 2018年春季時裝秀，並繼續為Tory Burch和Jason Wu等設計師工作。 展場辦在曼哈頓獨棟私宅 218 East 25th Street ，模特兒穿著禮服邊看書跟品茶，他的禮服從遠處看很像油畫裡的畫作，近看卻很清透有層次感，疊成類似手風琴的褶皺，Hu 用10到20種織物之間分層，以產生高低起伏，就像您在油畫中看到的那樣，整場Caroline Hu 時裝周有種穿越時空的老派浪漫，讓人不想走出劇場面對現實。 https://www.modaoperandi.com/caroline-hu-ss20/frill-embellished-tulle-maxi-dress Fashion PR 媒體策略 媒體與接待 社群媒體策略聯絡新聞稿撰稿人網紅邀請約客戶結案報告 Event Planning 活動規劃 活動流程安排 場地佈置 動線規劃 Model Casting 模特兒試鏡安排 模特兒卡製作 模特兒走秀順序安排 妝髮安排/服裝整理 CAROLINE HU在Fall 2019 紐約時裝周被 Caroline Hu 被Vogue Runway譽為她的禮服屬於奧斯卡獎 Is Our First Discovery of NYFW — And Her Dresses Belong at the Oscars 讓紐約女人願意穿的禮服 I intend to pursue a master’s degree in public management at Johns Hopkins University, which is my top choice because it consistency ranks among the best universities in the world. JHU offers strong academic foundations and research opportunities, particularly for foreign students. In addition, it provides a portfolio of interdisciplinary course which enables students to take courses form several departments. My choice of JHU’s MA in publics so that I can positively contribute to public policy development discourse in China and Asia. JHU’s program is attractive because it is innovative and flexible, allowing students to learn and apply academic concepts in real-world governance and policy issues. The program is rigorous and combines strategic management skills with the foundational principles of public management and administration. I intend to specialize in public policy evaluation in order to successfully achieve my career aspirations. I am also impressed by the success of JHU alumni in public managment, both in China and worldwide. Pursuing a master degree in public managment at the university will enable me to emulate the alumni by contributing to publiv policy development. My interest in public policy and managment has increased as a result of my four years of work experience in the private sector. For example, I recently worked for Fubon Finacial Holding Company as an analyst, where I helped plan and execute the business strategy and capital structuring. Another important skill set I acquired there was the research, implememtation, assessment and management of strategic investment projects. In addition, I was involved in the research and development of concepts of foreign financial markets, laws and regulations, as well as in performamce analysis of inter-industry transactions. Furthermore, I was privileged to work for Abacuse Business ComputerLLC, a New York incorporated cooperate entity, where I acquired experience and skills in business analysis, action-driven recommendations, and preparation of insights to executive leaders and managers based on the generated results. My work experience hase readied me to translate and apply the concepts of private governace in publiv entity management and public policy development. Thus pursuing a degree in public management will hone my management skills and my ability to apply private practices in public administration. I also consider myself as a perfect candidate for a masters degree in public management based on my academic background. First, I hold a bachelor degree in industrial enginerring and management from the National Tsing Hua Univerisity in China, where I passed with GPA of 3.38 out of the maximum possible 4.3 points. besides the core engineering coursed, the undergraduate program also introduced me to management and public policy units, inclyding international trade and law, industrial organization and management for global competition, and high-tech entrepreneurship. I also graduated with a MSc degree in data analytics from Fordham University, New York, in 2020. The masters degree enhanced my analytical skills by introducing me to data analytics and scripting, machine learning, algorithms and big data, cloud computing and artificial analytical skills required to formulate data- driven public policy. Hence, the analytical abilities will enable me to translate insights derived from data science into practical knowledge that will inform public policy development. I aspire to pursure and graduate with an MA degree in public policy from JHU, which I believe will enhance my ability and skill to contribute to public policy and management. My work experience in the private sector hase prepared me well to contribute to public governace. Furthermore, my academic journey has honed my analytical abilited which are critical to public policy formulation. As a result, my profile makes me perfect fit for MA in public management. A Memorandum is Not Written to Inform the Reader, but to Protect the Writer A Memorandum is Not Written to Inform the Reader, but to Protect the Writer A memorandum is an important document that is usually written by a senior personnel in an organization or business to communicate an issue or recommendation to the targeted audience. The audience can be internal or external, which influences the type of memo and the subject matter of the communication. The purpose of the memo may be informative in nature, exploring and explaining an issue to readers, or persuasive, intending to position the author’s argument to the audience and persuade them to support the decision. Dean Acheson, the former US Secretary of State, argued that “a memo is not written to inform the reader, but to protect the writer,” which I find to be an accurate statement in the context his role in government and also insightful from legal and political perspectives. The memo protects writers by supporting their arguments or analysis of a policy position, recommendations, or decree and persuading the reader to consider the merits of the decision taken by the author, improving or saving the latter’s or the office’s image with the public. Dean Acheson’s statement is accurate, given that he was the secretary of state, an influential office of government and foreign affairs that must maintain its position of power through the materials it publicly issues on however sensitive topic. His memos may have dictated the decisions made by the country’s foreign mission as well as the vetoed or upheld resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and other international organizations. The memos protected the image of Acheson’s offices and signaled the gravity of his concerns and his on determination to persuade foreign missions to support America’s steadfast interest in global issues. Moreover, as Secretary of State, Acheson used memos as diplomatic communication tools specifying the actions taken by his office and the American government. Nationally, memos are expected to be uncontested to protect the stature of the Office of the Secretary of State and its occupants. At the international level, memos are designed to affirm the American government’s position on foreign affairs and to protect its geopolitical influence. Dean Acheson’s statement is accurate from a government operations perspective in terms of protecting the public image and reputation of its agents. Well-crafted memos may help demonstrate the commitment of public servants to create a higher degree of openness that ensures the public trusts public officers and government systems. In particular, informational memos provide citizens with information on what is happening in government cycles and the measures taken by administrators that are justified as appropriate to address public policy issues. For example, government officials use a memorandum to disclose information about current policies to enable them — officers — to be accountable to citizens. Therefore, memos protect government officials by allowing them to appear transparent and responsible for their decisions in the perception of the people. Furthermore, government memoranda are often written in the first person, implying that they are linear communications that protect the position of the writer or the department on a particular issue. The first-person communication endears to the public, giving authors the power to position the arguments to the readers. Furthermore, memos done in first person perspective protect the author by creating connections with the protagonists and persuading them to support the communicator’s recommendations. This rhetoric approach makes the message believable to the audience, which protects the course of action taken by the communicator. Writing memos in a first person perspective is also crucial to creating a clear perspective of the decisions made by the author, resulting in a positive reception of the author’s in a positive reception of the author’s policy recommendations by readers. Thus, the use of the first-person in memos protects the position, arguments, policies, and recommendations taken by the writer.As the secretary of state, Dean Acheson would have also used memos to inform the president and other departments about problems that needed to be addressed jointly or issues that required public decree. In government cycles, memoranda advocate for well-reasoned solutions to problems that transcends the roles of one government department. For instance, the secretary of state writes memos to communicate multiple solutions for combating international terrorism for policymakers’ considerations. The secretary recognizes that terrorism is a cross-cutting issue that requires consultations involving homeland security, foreign affairs, defense, and thepresidency. Therefore, by initiating conversations through memos the secretary of state protects his or her role in the office.Although the purpose of a memorandum is to inform readers, its writer must be cautious in formulating the information to protect themselves and the message. The authors must review the facts of the planned analysis or policy recommendations and demonstrate that they researched the context and have an understanding of alternative options. The author should use a of evidence preponderance of evidence to support his or her arguments so that readers can resonate with the analysis and policy recommendations. The facts presented in the memo protects writer’s conclusions by convincing readers that the outcomes can be achieved and that the author is doing the right thing.Dean Acheson assertion that a memorandum is not written to inform the reader, but to protect the writer is accurate based on the role the memos play in shaping an image of the office issuing them and in contextualizing the addressed events and concepts. Government memos are often written in the first person to persuade readers to support the author’s course of action. They symbolize the transparency and accountability of public servants, allowing them to earn the trust of citizens. Hence, memo protect writers by allowing them to attract the public and readers, and persuade them to endorse their policy recommendations and decisions. I believe that Data science should be integrated with the content of culture and therefore allow people to communicate naturally by multiple ways.

2024 1125 致你們，親愛的燭火們：滿足 Fulfillment

2024 1125 致你們，親愛的燭火們：滿足 Fulfillment 這世界不只不完美，還有著嚴重的殘缺。 這社會不只不友善，還有著殘忍的嚴苛。 有人仗著權勢欺壓弱小的人們，有人仗著錢勢污辱窮苦的人們，有人仗著高位壓榨下層的人們，有人仗著武力鞭打霸凌無力反擊的人們。 這世界很殘酷，這社會很難看。這是我們每天都看到的新聞。 而小小的我，在一個小小的地方，看著一群少少的人，每天輪流著，在一間間小小的房間哩，拿起話筒，語調輕柔，耐心地聽著許多人訴說。 在這裡，每一個人沒有名字，沒有自己。 在這裡，每一個人沒有情緒，沒有自我。 在這裡，只有一個個像是一根根的蠟燭，點燃著小小燭火，只盼能給予電話那一端的人，一點點微弱的光，一點點微弱的暖。 這光，不明亮，但也許是個希望。 這光，不暖和，但也許是個盼頭。 沒在幽暗峽谷裡行走過的人，無法明白整個漆黑的夜晚是多麼駭人。 我們鑿不開峽谷厚重的山壁，敲不開蓋住燦浪陽光的泥土。外面的世界百花盛開，萬物生機，在黃土的土石地上，連水都抓不住痕跡，生機，是那樣微弱且稀薄。 這群志工們，在這樣寸土不生的貧瘠領土，日日夜夜地墾荒，只要有一點希望，堅持不放棄。 沒人知道他們的名和姓，沒人看到他們的身影，他們像是許許多多個蝙蝠俠，守護著每一通來電，而電話那頭的求助者，像是一個個敗壞高潭市，聽到溫暖的聲音，如同呼喊蝙蝠俠的聚光燈，有了生機，湧出了希望。 對這群心善且日復一日，年復一年的志工們感到衷心誠意的敬佩。 請宇宙送給這些志工們祝福，抽到的塔羅牌是【滿足 Fulfillment】。 真是讓人感動。是的，這群沒名沒姓的志工們，不為什麼，都只是因為自己能夠付出，能幫助到人而內心感到滿足。 這真的是很偉大。很讓人敬佩。 我很幸運能夠看到這麼一群默默付出的人們，即使我知道這社會有多可惡，但在許多地方，我也知道這世界有多善良，多溫暖。 佛說，人的出生都是來了卻過去累世的緣分。 即使只是擦肩而過，那也是段美麗的情緣。 願 ~ 大家都能珍惜眼前的，身旁的人們。 November 25, 2024 To You, Dear Candlelights: Fulfillment This world is not only imperfect—it is deeply flawed. This society is not only unkind—it is cruelly harsh. There are those who wield power to oppress the weak, those who use wealth to demean the poor, those who exploit their positions to crush those below, and those who resort to violence to bully the defenseless. This world is brutal; this society is unsightly. We see it every day in the news. And yet, here I am, in a small corner of this vast world, watching a small group of people take turns each day. In tiny rooms, they pick up their microphones, speaking softly, patiently listening to the stories shared by many. Here, no one has a name. No one is themselves. Here, no one shows emotion. No one asserts their identity. Here, they are like candles—each one igniting a small flame, hoping to offer a faint light, a faint warmth, to the person on the other end of the phone. This light is not bright, but perhaps it is a glimmer of hope. This warmth is not strong, but perhaps it is a promise to hold on. Those who have not walked through the dark valleys cannot understand how terrifying an entire pitch-black night can be. We cannot carve through the heavy walls of the canyon, nor break through the soil that blocks the shining sun. Outside, the world blooms with vibrant life, but on this barren land, even water cannot leave a trace. Vitality is sparse and fragile here. Yet this group of volunteers, on this infertile and desolate ground, persist day and night, tirelessly cultivating. As long as there is a hint of hope, they refuse to give up. No one knows their names, no one sees their faces. They are like countless Batmen, protecting every incoming call. And the callers—like the broken citizens of Gotham City—find hope and life in these warm voices, as though responding to the Bat-Signal shining in the night. I feel profound and heartfelt admiration for these kindhearted volunteers, who dedicate themselves year after year, day after day. May the universe bless them. The Tarot card drawn for them is Fulfillment. How moving this is. Yes, these nameless and selfless volunteers find inner fulfillment simply in the act of giving and helping others. It is truly extraordinary and deeply admirable. I am fortunate to witness such a group of quietly dedicated individuals. Though I know how vile this society can be, I also know, in many places, how kind and warm this world truly is. Buddha once said that every human birth is meant to resolve the karmic ties of past lives. Even if it’s just a fleeting encounter, it is still a beautiful connection. May we all cherish what is before us and the people around us. #DreamCatcher #Alyson #Tarot

2024 1025 樹樹：宇宙 Universe

2024 1025 樹樹：宇宙 Universe 樹樹對於豬隊友般的同組同仁感到氣憤，不能理解為何可以如此不上心，不在意。 樹樹認為若無心，那為何不選擇離開，為何要在公司裡，在團隊中，迫害著別人，影響努力工作者的心情，偷竊認真工作者的努力成果。 樹樹說今天下班前跟豬隊友同事吵架了，其他同事對豬隊友喊請趕快離職，可以嗎。 天兒呀，共事已到這般水火不容的程度，工作時彼此的心情都在煎熬吧。 樹樹問，為何工作上什麼事情都要人家盯？為什麼要這樣擺爛？為何這樣還不離開公司？ 這，有時恐怕連當事人都沒能有所謂的正確答案。 明白我的回覆樹樹應該是不滿意的，但是我認為現在聊的這情況不是在論對與錯，也不是可以說如何思考，如何做是正確的。 『人，這個中文字，很簡單，就2撇，但，也讓我們看出來，當不同的人時，思考方式不同，彼此的距離就會很遙遠，此時就會需要溝通、 協調。』 樹樹無法理解為何我給她這樣沒有具體的句子。 只有短短數十分鐘的時間，該怎麼說？能怎麼說呢？ 有時候，錯誤的人在錯誤的地方，與其他人無法共融，埋怨也就越來越旺盛；有時，正確的人在錯誤的地方，被欺、被凌、被虐，好好的人，再有多強大的雄心壯志，也會被磨到無菱無角。 世上的事情都太難二分法了，即使是孩子眼中也明白，眼睛看到的所有東西，不是只有黑色和白色兩種，所以呀放手未必是懦弱，堅持有可能是逞強。 至於何時放手才比較好，何時應該要堅持？這只怕神仙也不敢論斷，我又怎可能知道呢。拜託，就別問這種傻白甜的蠢問題了吧。 向宇宙請求給樹樹的祝福指引，抽到的塔羅牌是：【宇宙Universe】。 宇宙想告訴年輕又上進的樹樹，這個世界很大，大到我們窮極此生都走不遍，看不完。地球之外還有宇宙，宇宙的無限，更是現在的人類無法想像的神秘與深奧。 現在眼前的不管是不欣賞的人，還是工作上的問題，於宇宙而言如桑海一粟，渺小，沒有重量，也不特別。 樹樹是個自我要求與期望都蠻高的女孩，人生路是一直往前走的，樹樹的志向更是在更高、更遠的層次，不在眼前。 莫位現在的小事給磨損了心志。 離開的時候，就是老天給的答案。 只是，老天從未說過，離開的人會是誰。 Translation: October 25, 2024 - Shushu: The Universe Shushu feels furious at her teammates, whom she describes as "pig teammates," wondering how they can be so indifferent and careless. Shushu can’t understand why, if they lack the will, they don’t choose to leave. Why stay in the company and on the team, making others suffer, impacting the morale of those who work hard, and stealing the achievements of those who put in genuine effort? Shushu mentioned that she argued with her "pig teammate" coworker before leaving work today, and that other colleagues even urged this coworker to leave as soon as possible. Alas, working together has become so unbearable that both sides must be agonizing during work hours. Shushu asks, “Why does everything at work need to be monitored? Why are they slacking off like this? Why don’t they just leave the company?” Sometimes, even those involved might not have a clear answer. I know Shushu may not be satisfied with my response, but I think that this situation isn't about who's right or wrong, nor is it something we can simply reason through or determine what the “right way” is. "The Chinese character for 'person' is simple, made of just two strokes, yet it also reveals that when people differ, the distance in thinking between them can be vast, and that’s when communication and coordination are necessary." Shushu can't understand why I gave her such an abstract reply. With only a few minutes to talk, what more can I say? Sometimes, the wrong person in the wrong place grows increasingly resentful due to incompatibility with others; other times, the right person in the wrong place is deceived, bullied, or oppressed. Even the most ambitious and resilient people can have their sharp edges dulled. Life’s issues rarely divide cleanly; even children understand that the world is not just black and white. So, letting go is not necessarily a sign of weakness, and persistence might sometimes be a form of stubbornness. When is it better to let go? When should one persist? Even deities wouldn’t dare make a call on this, so how could I possibly know? Please, let’s skip these naive questions. Seeking guidance from the universe for Shushu, I drew the tarot card: The Universe. The universe wishes to tell the young and ambitious Shushu that this world is vast—so vast that even in a lifetime, we won’t see it all. Beyond Earth lies the universe, whose boundlessness is mysterious and profound beyond human imagination. The people she finds unappreciative or the issues she faces at work are, in the universe’s eyes, like a grain of sand in the sea—small, weightless, and insignificant. Shushu is a girl with high standards and aspirations. Her life path is always moving forward, with ambitions that reach higher and further, far beyond what’s right in front of her. She should not let these minor issues wear down her will. When it's time to part ways, that is the answer from above. However, heaven never tells us who will be the one to leave. #DreamCatcher #Alyson #Tarot

2024 1124 可兒：衝浪者 Surfer

2024 1124 可兒：衝浪者 Surfer 活出自己的模樣，是什麼樣子呢，如果有機會認識可兒，你們就會知道了。 可兒，有著自己的事業，她的事業就是她自己很喜歡的事情，於是在結婚後，跟她先生討論後，就創業了。 因為開創了事業，又有了新的想法，於是就發展出新的興趣，然後又將這興趣學習得很專業，進而又有了新的事業。 可兒，長得非常漂亮，帶著親切溫柔的笑容，那天認識了她的朋友，知她甚深的朋友們都開玩笑地說，我是不是誤會了什麼？！ 這是怎麼樣鐵般的女人友情呀！ 很是羨慕可兒。 聽著可兒跟她自己另一個朋友聊到最近新購入的屋子，她很喜歡，且購入後馬上裝修，最近已跟先生入住。 朋友笑說，怎買屋子像買名牌包，如此輕易就下手。 可兒笑說，剛好手上有錢，剛好看到好房，剛好想買新房，就買了。 我喜歡這樣的對話，坦率，真誠。 喜歡那個氛圍，大夥把複雜的世故都關在門外。 在可兒的店裡，不能皺眉，不能心情不好的猛報怨，要開心自在的聊聊天，喝咖啡，這樣老闆才會開心。 這樣美麗幸福又可愛的女子，還需要祝福嗎？ 人美心善的人，更有能力與影響力。可兒的這輩子，可能就是天使下凡，來人世間玩耍，也給人世間帶來歡樂，帶來愛。 宇宙給可兒的祝福是：【衝浪者 Surfer】。 宇宙提醒著可兒，喜歡熱鬧，喜歡歡騰，老是對於可以衝在大夥前面感到興奮和開心，要注意控管情緒和平衡，別讓自己老是成為那顆充滿氣體，鼓著圓滾滾身體的氣球那樣，一放手就瞬間倏地衝上天去，適時地消氣與冷靜也是生活裡重要的事情。 2024.11.24 Ke’er: The Surfer What does it mean to live authentically as yourself? If you have the chance to meet Ke’er, you’ll understand. Ke’er has her own career, one she genuinely loves. After getting married, she discussed it with her husband and decided to start her own business. Through this entrepreneurial journey, she developed new ideas, which sparked new interests. She then pursued these interests professionally, leading to yet another venture. Ke’er is incredibly beautiful, with a warm and gentle smile. The day I met her friends, who know her deeply, they jokingly said, “Did we misunderstand something?” What kind of unshakable bond is this among women? It’s truly enviable. Listening to Ke’er chat with another friend about a newly purchased house, she expressed how much she loved it. She immediately renovated it after the purchase, and she and her husband have already moved in. Her friend teased her, saying, “You make buying a house look as easy as picking up a luxury handbag!” Ke’er laughed and said, “I just happened to have the money, happened to see a good house, and happened to want a new one, so I bought it.” I love conversations like this—straightforward and genuine. I also love the atmosphere in her circle, where all the complications of the outside world are left at the door. In Ke’er’s shop, you’re not allowed to frown or wallow in bad moods with endless complaints. Instead, it’s a place to chat joyfully, sip coffee, and simply feel at ease—this makes the owner happy. Does such a beautiful, happy, and lovable woman even need blessings? Kind-hearted people who are beautiful inside and out often have more power and influence. Perhaps Ke’er is an angel sent to earth to have fun and bring joy and love to the world. The universe’s blessing for Ke’er is: The Surfer. The universe reminds Ke’er, who loves liveliness and excitement, and thrives on being at the forefront, to manage her emotions and maintain balance. Don’t let yourself become like an overinflated balloon—round, buoyant, and ready to shoot skyward the moment you let go. Learning to deflate and calm yourself when needed is also an essential part of life. #DreamCatcher #Alyson #Tarot

2024 1120 可欣：停滯 Stagnation

2024 1120 可欣：停滯 Stagnation 給迷茫中的可欣 ~ 迷茫是人生中一定會遇到的坎，可出現還不只一次。 一開始我確實以為想聊這話題的妳，可能才剛從學校畢業沒有多久。 妳擁有敏銳的直覺，馬上告訴我妳是一位30歲的大女孩，然後又馬上反應出對這樣的年紀還對未來是沒有方向的，覺害羞，不好意思。 若年紀是標準，那現在半百的我，對於接下來還在找尋方向，確認目標，不就得自我羞愧而亡了。 不應該這樣思考的。 年紀，累積了經驗，增添了智慧，突破了困難，並不是就代表接下來就一帆風順的。 人生無論何時都常會遇到需要思考，需要適應調整的局面。 誰幾歲遇到什麼事情，這也沒有一定的公式可套入，畢竟，人生的軌跡不會重疊，不會一致，只有類似，卻又不盡相同。 請宇宙送給妳的祝福，抽到的塔羅牌是【停滯 Stagnation】。 有點遺憾，可這樣也好。 跟妳聊天過程中，確實有發現妳沒有很專心，同時間可能還在進行其他的事情，甚至也許我們的對話內容沒能吸引住妳的注意力，所以妳的回覆和回應都是簡短的語句，感覺有點在應付我而已。 若真是這樣的情形，那真是蠻可惜的。妳錯過了我的金玉良言，錯失了我經驗的分享，錯開了我識人、讀人的到位剖析。 也許就是因為如此，即使經過聊天後，妳還沒懂得現在所處的問題核心是什麼，所以妳被困住了，無法行動，無法前進。 認知沒有打破，意念沒有形成，沒有因緣俱足的能量，也就造成窒礙難行的情景。 想改變，需打自內心。 這是我個人經驗打磨出來的結論。 很多話，不需說出口。 因妳要說服的人是妳自己。 靜下心，好好思考。想要什麼，適合什麼，只有自己最清楚，旁人所說的，只會是建議，只能是僅供參考而已。 2024/11/20 To Kexin: Stagnation To the lost Kexin ~ Feeling lost is an inevitable part of life, and it’s something we’ll encounter more than once. Initially, I thought that someone who wanted to discuss this topic might have just graduated from school. But your keen intuition quickly corrected me, revealing that you are a 30-year-old young woman. Then, almost instantly, you shared a sense of embarrassment and unease about still feeling directionless at your age. If age were the benchmark, then I, at almost 50, would have to drown in shame for still searching for direction and clarifying my goals. But this is not the way to think. Age accumulates experiences, adds wisdom, and helps us overcome challenges—but it doesn’t guarantee smooth sailing ahead. Life, at any stage, often presents situations requiring deep thought, adaptation, and adjustment. There’s no fixed formula for when and what kind of challenges one might face. Life paths don’t overlap or align perfectly; they’re only similar yet uniquely distinct. The Tarot card drawn for you, as a blessing from the universe, is Stagnation. It’s a little disappointing, but perhaps it’s a good thing. During our conversation, I noticed that your attention wasn’t entirely focused. Perhaps you were multitasking, or maybe our discussion didn’t capture your full interest. Your responses were brief, almost as if you were merely humoring me. If that’s the case, it’s truly a pity. You missed my pearls of wisdom, my shared experiences, and my sharp insights into understanding and analyzing people. Perhaps that’s why, even after our chat, you still don’t grasp the core issue of your current situation. You remain stuck, unable to act or move forward. When your understanding hasn’t shifted, your mindset hasn’t formed, and the necessary energy hasn’t come together, obstacles arise, and progress is hindered. To create change, it must come from deep within your heart. This conclusion is one I’ve honed from my own experiences. Many things don’t need to be said aloud. After all, the person you need to convince is yourself. Take a moment to quiet your mind and think deeply. What do you truly want? What suits you best? Only you can know these answers. What others say are merely suggestions—for reference, and nothing more. #DreamCatcher #Alyson #Tarot
