Hi ,
It rained cats and dogs all day yesterday in Taipei, on and off until early this morning.After our class, the sun finally came out. It’s so nice, seems like a good sign.
Congratulations! About your startup.
Hearing you talk about all your ideas and prep details of your new business, I'm so happy for you -- especially when you say you're having fun with the whole process.
What you said makes me thinking about motivation, that is, the inner force to drive you forward.
You know, I've been lacking motivation to do anything for a long time.
But recently, I’ve finally started to recover at a very slow pace.
It's a bit like a pointer on a dashboard slowly moving from a negative number toward 0.
I really cherish this state, this moment.
Because I feel I've made so much effort to get this far.
Earlier, after class, I read a chapter of the book I recently started, a book about narrative therapy introduction.
To be honest, it wasn't easy for me. But I felt I was doing something that I truly want to accomplish it.
What I want to say is:
though it's hard, it's insignificant and I'm so slow, I can sense that I’m gradually starting to find motivation again.
Although it's hard, it's insignificant and I'm so slow.
I cherish it, and I want to protect it. It's just like a spark and I would like to keep it burning if I could.
I want to find the fuel to maintain it and make it stronger.
Do you remember I said that you have high-quality motivations?
It's because you mentioned you enjoy the process. That's great! I almost envy you.
I sincerely hope you can keep this momentum.
Just wanna share some of my thoughts on motivation.
The weekend is coming, take a good rest and have a great trip.
Talk to you next week. :)

Hi,
昨天台灣下了整天的雨，一直很大，斷斷續續直到今天清晨。上完課終於放晴了。感覺是個好預兆。
恭喜你！即將展開新的事業。聽你談到對於新創業的種種想法與準備，特別替你感到開心，尤其是當你說你樂在其中。
這讓我想到「做一件事的動機，那個驅使你向前的力量。」
你知道的，我沒有動力做任何事已經很久了。
直到最近，我才慢慢開始有一點點回復，這有點像是儀表板上的負數往零趨近的狀態。
我很珍惜這種狀態，因為我感覺我費了很大的力氣，才來到現在這裡。
今天跟你上完課之後，我把手邊最近開始看的、一本關於敘事治療導論的小書，讀完一個章節。有點辛苦，但我覺得是在做一件真心有想要完成的事。是的，我今天想讀完這本書的一個章節。
我想表達的是，雖然很難、很慢、很小，但我感覺自己已經漸漸地開始有想去做一件事的念頭。雖然很難、很慢、很微小。
我很珍惜，想要好好呵護。那就像是一個很小的火花，我想要保護好它，讓它可以繼續燃燒。我想要努力去找到可以讓它燃燒的柴薪。
你記得我說，你的動機品質很好嗎？那是因為你說你享受這個過程，那很棒！我都有點羨慕你了。希望你能一直保持這樣的動能。
只是跟你分享我關於動機的想法。週末了，好好休息，旅途愉快。
