“短短的一生裡，我只管做想做的事，來不及去思考這些隆重又嚴肅的話題，也來不及去明白這世間的種種道理。面對喜歡的事物時，我只管用盡全力去喜歡：面對路迢途遠時，我只管拼命地往更遠的地方去；面對天地萬物時，我只管熱烈地去感受歡愉或惆悵。入春了。終於攜著暖海一同到來，如想像中溫暖，如夢境中柔軟，像擁抱的味道，永遠幸福的感覺深刻入心骨，就像星星碎浪的笑顏難掩，只管真切地活著。”

“We spent so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear the most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. "What if..." "If only.." "I wonder what would have..." You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.”
― Trevor Noah, Born A Crime Stories from a South African Childhood / Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race / Natives Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire
