离别

我们的离别将会像童年的记忆般变成美好但不能复返的回忆。不同的是儿时的欢笑是在时光的衬托下逐渐收藏成回忆的，而我们要在一霎那间告别现在，转折到苦乐参半的远方。

蛋糕

小小的蛋糕竟然有如此的魔力。它让你点上了蜡烛，许上了心中虔诚的愿望，然后吹去了带着祝福的火花。

Shivers of the soul

The October sky in Shanghai was inspiring. Looking back, I think I have started my own searching of the soul and finding of the root, just like many others have done under the same October sky and along similar paths.

Shanghai has became more strange and baffling to me than it was once familiar. Being a traveler fostered under the known roofs during all my previous visits, I could only see a fraction of the city. Without experiencing the daily life or understanding the social and cultural chemistries of the city, I was bewildered by the glamorous and yet decadent side of Shanghai, and troubled by the expanding social gaps between the diverse residents of Shanghai.

It will be time for me to become an individual living in this metropolitan of my birth. To see what I’ve all missed, and to experience what I’ve all loved.

曾经是过去

“两年前的考试季节还清晰地浮现在眼前。这个Xanga，曾经是我随时随地吐苦水的地方, 很是亲切……现在，日记和Xanga都变成了奢侈，可是对于我来说，它们都是生活中的必需品。

工作以后的日子目不暇接，而我爱胡思乱想的毛病还是没有改掉。因为两个人在一起，因为走入社会渴望成熟与独立，因为与时光的赛跑……我常常为荣辱得失困扰不已。曾几何时，我崇尚虔诚和出世的心态。但不知为什么，如今做起来很难。似乎我也成为了这世界上这一群”女人”的一员— 所有的劣根性都避免不了

我喜欢过去邻家女孩般的我, 但似乎回不去了……”

Where is the solution

“To steal a line from my boss, complaining just means you’re part of the problem and not part of the solution and it’ll inevitably server to undermine our ability to drive the work – don’t lose the forest due to the big tree currently blocking your view.

Lead or get out of the way

And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of people: Yes, we can.”

Pill

the choice between blissful ignorance and embracing the sometimes painful truth.

十个先锋，有九个会倒下。为此不该放弃做先锋，而是要做那最后站着的英雄。

两种

强壮的人控制形势，软弱的人被形势控制。这就是两种人生。

Life is like an afternoon walk in the forest…

“I want to be so awed by the world that my life is pointed in all directions at once. I don’t think aimless deserves the negative connotation that it has. One can be ambitious and aimless at the same time.

Ambition – the desire to achieve
Aimless – moving in no particular direction

I would never strive to be ambition-less. but as I see it, I can be aimless and still live a full and happy life. In fact, an aimless life seems to be a fuller and happier one that I imagine an “aimed” life would be. Aimless implies movement in one’s life — following a path without knowing your final destination, or even blazing a new trail without an endpoint in mind. Life should be lived like an afternoon walk in the forest — taken one step at a time, with frequent stops to enjoy the view, applaud yourself for overcoming challenges, and observe the way your surroundings interact with your presence and can continue to thrive long after you’ve gone away. It has nothing to do with reaching a certain place or finding a specific thing; it’s just about the journey. And to be so overwhelmed with wonder and awe that you cannot possibly pinpoint a goal other than to simply live, that is true success.” – Small Wonder

无中升华

两年前怀着对电音的热爱，修了门DJ Decal。学了电音的发展历史和入门技巧。期末的Project是Mix三首曲子。凭着那时对电音界的一点点了解，选了

Shane 54 – Too Late to Turn (Armin van Buuren Remix)
Ferry Corsten – Sublime (Thrillseekers Remix)
A Boy Called Joni – Green Astronauts (Original Mix)

作为Mix的曲目。每一首曲子单独只能起到它自己的效果，但一旦和别的曲子Mix在一起时，就能有无穷的组合排列，产生奇幻无比的效果。顺着三首的次序，我作为DJ想要听者感受到的效果是由Too Late to Turn快速及有节奏的Vocal开头，到Sublime的发挥着震撼整个Mix作用的Breakdown，再到Green Astronauts次高潮的结尾。

这个Mix取名叫First Flight。后来发现既然跟Tiësto Magik 1专辑同名。应该说是那时的我走出了他成名前走的第一步吧。

最近谈到了“升华”这个词，发现其英文是Sublimation。真没意识到，Ferry Corsten的Sublime在整个Mix中起到的不就是升华作用吗！
