Life without limbs, Nick Vijicic



朋友從 MSN 給我這個 Video。Nick Vijicic 是一個天生殘障的澳洲人。他曾經自暴自棄、懷疑上天,到現在他發覺,重要的並非上天所能給他、而是目前他的存在、他所擁有的。

我嘗試將大部分主要內容寫下來,因為我發覺中文的翻譯雖好但仍然未能表現精髓。也許看英文會更能體會。內容也需有些誤差,不過應該相差不遠了。

There were times when I sort of look at my life, and thinking that I can't do this and I can't do that. And you keep on concentrating on the things you wish to have, or the things that you wish didn't have. And you sort of forgot what you DO have.

And it's no point I believe in my life where I wish i am this, I wish I am that, but wishes won't help. From what i've seen in life is just a few key principles and the first thing that i've seen is to be thankful.

It's hard to be thankful man, i tell you when I was 8 years old. I sort of sum up my life in full, I never gonna get marry, I'm not gonna have a job, I'm not gonna have a life of purpose. What kind of husband am I gonna be if I can't even hold my wife's hand.

It's a lie to think that you are not good enough!
It's a lie to think that you are not worth anything!

I love life, you know so many people comes and says "how come you smile so much". And I am like..well..."It's a long story."

But it's very simple to say in time, you see it's very hard to smile sometimes when life through things happen that you don't know and you don't understand. And you don't know if you gonna get through it. You know you go through your storms in life and you don't know how long the storms gonna be. And today I want to share with you some principles that I've learned in my life that you can use in yours.

Being patient is beautiful I tell you it's the hardest thing. But I realize I may not have hands to hold my wife's hand, but when the time comes, I will be able to hold her heart, I don't need hands to hold her heart.

You know it's scary to know how many girls have eating disorders. It's scary to know how many people are just angry at life because of their situation at home and angry at others. It's scary!

Tonight how many people actually feel like they worth nothing. Every single girl right here right now, I want you to know that you are beautiful, you are gorious just the way you are, and the boys, you are the man!

-- Nick Vijicic

再來:

這個是電視佈道會的,雖然講耶穌,但是其中有些觀點是非常值得學習的。



重要的句子:

"We all know how it feels to be lonely or broken. And the thing is this, if I could look at you, and I say, you know what, maybe the things that you've gone through, maybe worse than I have. And you are thinking "no no no I could never imagine myself without arms and legs" See, we can't and we should not compare sufferings."

"Circumstances do not have to change for you to become victorious, it is our heart to fill with the holy spirit"

另外一個佈道會:

重要的話:

在最後的一段...




Was it because of me? No
Was it because of my capabilities? No
Why was it!?

It is because of my Availability!

When you are doing things with God, do not focus on what you can do, focus on what God can do through you.

You don't fix yourself up to come to God, but you come to God to get fix-up.

地下室飄移跑道

從小就被我爸我叔影響,興趣除電腦外、就是遙控模型。工作後都集中在電腦,很少接觸了,最近又毛起來看。因為發現京商今年推出了 DNANO 微型遙控系列。

在 Youtube 上面無意中找到一些影片,蠻有趣的。在這裡紀錄一下。

1/58 RealDrive Nano NISMO GT-R 火柴盒迷你遙控車


到日本旅行,照習慣要逛一逛玩具店,看到這盒由 REALDRIVE 出品 Nano 系列的 1:58 NISMO GT-R 紅外線遙控車。

這系列主推的其實是 法拉利車系,不過我還是選擇了 這款 GT-R,看起來我覺得 GT-R 做得比較精緻。

雖然知道自己對這種玩具只有3分鐘熱度,但是還是情不自禁的買下來。因為遙控的1:58的小車我真的是第一次看到,不算Q版的小遙控車。

在大阪梅田的 Yodobashi 購買,價格為:1780 Yen

玩後心得

不按 Turbo 按鈕的時候有點慢。不然的話,還okay啦!



多餘、不成比例的包裝

近照


車子正前方


車子後方,算很精緻


真的很小


前進時亮車燈


車跟遙控的底部
壞處是,遙控以及車子本身使用的是紐扣電池

簡約的遙控器


上方的 Turbo 按鈕可以讓車加速

Polar Bottle 水壺

網路上閒逛,在 PCHOME 的商店街上看到這個叫Polar Bottle的水壺,我是外貌協會,外觀絕對是購買的重要因素。

其實,過去一直沒有找到很喜歡的水壺,主要是顏色不對跟車不搭。

看完網路上國內外的評價(國外比較多)就立即買下來,反正價格也合理,跟國外差不多。

有很多顏色可以選擇,紅色、粉紅色、綠色、藍色、黃色、白色等。我選擇了藍色。

漂亮的外觀


簡單的Logo


瓶口看下去


水閥可以拆

可拆,但需要一點力氣跟技巧。不過,最少可拆,可以洗得很乾淨。



外貌之外

外表的確是我的購買重點,不過其實他的重點功能是『保冷』。

看完廠商的資料,除了保冷,Polar Bottle 還可以『保溫』約最高50度的水溫。溫度太高就不好了,大家還是要習慣任何塑膠都不能裝熱的食物/飲料,就算他告訴你可以耐高溫。
