To Be Young, Gifted and Black (Nina Simone)

To be young, gifted and black,
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black,
Open your heart to what I mean

In the whole world you know
There are billion boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black,
And that’s a fact!

You are young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
There’s a world waiting for you
This is a quest that’s just begun

When you feel really low
Yeah, there’s a great truth you should know
When you’re young, gifted and black
Your soul’s intact

Young, gifted and black
How I long to know the truth
There are times when I look back
And I am haunted by my youth

Oh but my joy of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
Is where it’s at!


A Change Is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke)

I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown
somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will


When Will We Be Paid (The Staple Singers)

When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

We worked this country
From shore to shore
Our women cooked all your food
And washed all your clothes
We picked cotton and laid the railroad steel
Worked our hands down to the bone at your lumber mill

When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

Fought in your wars, in every land
To keep this country free, y’all
For women, children, and men
But anytime we ask for pay or a loan
That’s when everything seems to turn out wrong
We’ve been beat up, called name, shot down, and stoned
Every time we do right, somebody say we’re wrong

When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

Oh, oh when, when will we be paid ?
We’ve given up our sweat, now

And all of our tears
Stumbled through this life

For more than 300 years
I, I wanna know, the work we’ve done
When will be paid for the work we’ve done

Tell me
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

Will we ever be proud
Of "My country, tis of thee"
Will we ever sing out loud
Sweet land of Liberty

When will we be paid
For the work we’ve done

When will we be paid for the work we’ve done
When will we be paid for the work we’ve done

美國總統大選只剩下三天, 我們觀察一整週民調與金融市場的變化(包含賭局), 到本週五下午3:00前為止, 誰是美國總統幾乎大概可以猜到60-70%的機率, 本篇文章就是以大選結局為主軸來討論近期甚至到未來四年美股可能的改變

你能想像自己的生活裡沒有垃圾嗎?但有這樣的一群人正在過著「零廢棄生活」。在我看完《 我家沒垃圾 》這本書後,我發現這種生活模式和極簡主義有異曲同工之妙。而不僅不會痛苦,反而能夠幫助我們追求更美的人生。零廢棄生活並非遙不可及的挑戰,而是持續努力的生活方式

  也許你的諮商師並非甚麼值得效仿學習的典範,要看見自己吹的泡泡開始破滅了嗎?但也許你更進一步的想像,諮商師好偉大,好有勇氣,好不容易阿,那也隨你...(放棄溝通貌)

2000年的歌,一個youtube都還沒盛行的年份。 孫燕姿《天黑黑》的歌詞,中間台語部分的詞取自同名童謠《天黑黑》,這卻是一首流行歌,就好像我們逐漸脫離了童年,走進社會。有難過、有痛苦,但童年的快樂仍會永遠陪伴著你,外婆的歌也會時不時在你耳邊響起,支撐著、陪伴著,你終將會成為一個獨當一面的大人。

不過一旦打破了假期的侷限,其實也就沒有所謂的「假期」 一整年都是你可以去衝刺、休息、檢討的時光,打破了這樣的思維,你其實更能去掌握生活的步調,不會有種「我今天可以不努力」的心態
