"Minimal and extravagant" at the same time...

How to achieve to be minimal and extravagant at the same time?
I was so taken by the perfect co-existence of the two elements when they were represented by Katrin Brack. Then I suddenly found the secret of it when in the toilet where I often had other eurekas.

A thank-you note

「從認識你至今，就羨慕你的穩重與平和—至今仍是，沒有改變。」

How can I help?

I can help only when I know what your authorities want you to be/become.
I can help only when I know your authorities do not know how you should be, and then I come up with something that I think will help you grow.
I can help only when I put my ego aside and have you as my concern/main interest.
I come help not because I want to demonstrate I know so much more/better than you, but I want to help you grow stronger and better.

抄襲變宿命

因為工作項目的執行時間短、預算有限、人力不足，所以大多數的時候，我們用抄的。同時，因為抄多了，我們越抄越有技巧。動詞，也不再是抄了。

作品原創的成本太高，不適合台灣的發展，或説幾乎極少仍能夠存在台灣。但是台灣可以發展那種高明有技巧的抄：改寫/改設計。例如改一點點歐美high street的設計。這個需要的時間比較少，而且有版權灰色地帶，對吧？更不要說是舉證困難、甚至可能沒有人會注意到的博物館活動（展示設計等等）。

從傢具、筆電設計、成衣、藝術創作....。這樣說好了，哪一樣是台灣獨創？沒有抄的影子？

「我記得小時候，你早熟我很多。高中時，你寫了「識字憂患始」，我嚇了一跳。人，最終面對的，是自己內心的平靜，似乎 沒有其他的了。就像那個傳說是楊絳寫的、所謂「內心的風景」。 謝謝」

collective memory

If we use a person as the subject, by adding the temporal/time perspective, then history becomes the word of memory. Memory is a personal and romantic idea, it is more attractive than history. When the idea of collective is addded to memory, the unification becomes even more powerful.

關起門來做高興的都無效

數年前，我聽了一個拿了很多政府補助款的色彩研究室的介紹，其中創了特殊的色彩名稱。當時，我知道 this is not going to last long despite the project seemed really attractive。所有的規範/理念/模型，關起門來做高興的，自稱是什麼什麼多偉大多厲害的，都無效。

話說，那幾年（經查：2002-2008）把原來用好好的拼音改成莫名其妙的什麼通用拼音的政策，是一件極端失敗的政策，浪費了不知道多少錢！結果這件事情後來又被親中的改成中國用的漢語拼音，這不是很狼狽嗎？

At the end of the day, that's what I told her

“雖然出了很多狀況，但是對你是好的磨鍊。有委屈的，有真正疏忽的，種種的種種，你都要學起來，明白嗎？”
