英、日文小說閱讀紀錄


很期待明天收到2011 pocket moleskine
考慮很久,Filofax or Moleskine?
結果還是moleskine當作每日手帳
filofax持續維持travel diary or reading log
因為filofax的六孔活頁方便性,可以隨意增添地圖、鐵路、等等的資訊

Grey's Anatomy Season 1

Episode 1: "A Hard Day's Night"

Meredith: [narrating] The game. They say a person either has what it takes to play or they don't. My mother was one of the greats. Me on the other hand. I'm kinda screwed.
MEREDITH: [narrating] "I can't think of a single reason why I should be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose. There are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit, but here's the thing. I love the playing field."
CRISTINA: "You should get some sleep, you look like crap."
MEREDITH: "I look better than you."
CRISTINA: "That’s not possible."
MEREDITH: "Just go to sleep."
KATIE: "I can't sleep, my head's all full."
MEREDITH: "That's called thinking. Go with it."

古諺云,天才是1分的天分加上99分的努力。
但99分是多少,現在科學家表示,是1萬小時的練習。

根據The Talent Code: Greatness isn't born. It's grown的作者Daniel Coyle中文版序裡,很簡單的點出他所提倡的一萬小時天才理論無論你是誰。推翻大家對天才的一切想像

Quotation from Hello? Is anybody there?

p.9 The reason I’m beginning my story like this is that Mika was the one who taught me that nothing is ordinary.

p.10 We humans like to believe in the things we want most.

p.31 An answer is always the stretch of road that’s behind you. Only a question can point the way forward.

We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself. The future is never the way we imagined it.   —Meredith (Grey's Anatomy S05E23 , closing voiceover)

這是How I Met Your Mother (5-13 Jenkins)上星期一段很有意思的對話:
Marshall對於完全放心不吃醋的Lily,感到有些奇怪。
他想應該是他們之間的感情,是建立在很深厚的信任上。
所以Lily很放心Marshall和他女同事,完全一點都沒醋勁生氣或質疑。
結果Robin和Ted就有了以下這段「男女感情平衡的理論」:
Robin:Every good relationship has a reacher and a settler.
Ted:Exactly. One person reaches for someone out of their league; the other one settles for someone below theirs.

Gossip Girl 第3季13集, 一開始就引用了狄更斯在「雙城記」裡面很經典的名言
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Seems Dickens knew something about life on the upper east side.
那是最美好的時代, 也是最糟糕的時代。看來狄更斯很了解上城東區的人們。

突然覺得很像我現在的狀況,前幾天很迅速的辭掉才剛上任不久的品牌代理營運處長的職務
這三個禮拜的工作,發現自己一點都不適合上市上櫃的大公司型態
工作性質是我最喜愛的,但是考慮到這趟回來的目的是多陪陪爸爸
這樣每天超時的工作狀態,只好忍痛立即地割捨掉
