At a special event to celebrate the launch of #GucciVault during Milano Fashion Week, Gucci President and CEO Marco Bizzarri and Creative Director Alessandro Michele are captured alongside guests Lou Doillon, Mélanie Laurent, Jared Leto and Neil Strauss. Vault, a new online store created by Gucci, reflects Alessandro Michele’s passion for experimentation and his belief that past, present and future can co-exist through the power of the imagination.
“But the greatest of these, is love.”
There’s nothing I believe more than that love DOES conquer all, as cheesy as it sounds. But one thing I’ve learnt, is that for persistent & endless love to exist & grow, it is a (beautiful) never-ending cycle — To receive, I must first be ready to give 🤍
I hope you love, and are loved today.
☆ネイティブの生の会話からリアルな英語を学ぶ☆
=================================
1) Social media（SNS）
=================================
日本語ではツイッターやフェイスブック、インスタなどをSNSと呼びますが、英語ではsocial mediaと呼びます。social mediaは情報を発信するプラットフォームを指しますが、SNS（Social Networking Service）はネットワーキングを行う場所、つまり、人と人をつなげるプラットフォームを指します。フェイスブックやツイッター、インスタはネットワーキングを行う場であり、また情報を発信する場でもあるため、英語ではsocial mediaと表現します。
＜例文＞
What social media are you on?
（SNSは何を使っていますか？）
I decided to take a break from social media for a while.
（しばらくの間、SNSから離れることにしました。）
I spend too much time on social media. I need to cut down.
（SNSに時間を使い過ぎているので、SNSの時間を減らさないといけません。）
=================================
2) ____ person（〜派）
=================================
____ personは、日本語の「〜派」や「〜型」、「〜好き」に相当し、様々な単語と組み合わせて使うことができる便利な表現方法です。例えば、「犬派」は“A dog person”、「朝型」は“A morning person”と言います。ちなに、今日の会話でクレイは、“I’m not a big social media person.”と言いましたが、これは「SNSはあまり使わない」ことを表します。“I’m not a big”は「〜があまり好きではない」や「〜にあまり興味がない」を意味します。
＜例文＞
I used to be a dog person, but now I’m a cat person.
（私は昔犬派でしたが、今は猫派です。）
I’m an outdoor person. On my days off, I like to go hiking or surfing.
（私はアウトドア派です。休日はハイキングやサーフィンをするのが好きです。）
I’m not a big beer person. I prefer wine or cocktails.
（私はビールはあまり好きではありません。ワインかカクテルの方がいいです。）
=================================
3) Point（意味）
=================================
pointは「点」を意味する単語ですが、日常会話では「意味」を表す表現として使われます。例えば、「〜にどんな意味があるの？」は“What’s the point in/of ____?”、「〜しても意味がない」は“There is no point in/of ____.”のように表します。ここで使われる「意味」は単語や表現の定義を表しているのではなく、ある行動に対する意味を指します。
＜例文＞
What’s the point of studying English if you don’t use it?
（英語を勉強しても使わないと意味がないよ。）
I don’t get what the point of this training is. It’s pointless.
（このトレーニングの意味が分かりません。無意味です。）
What’s done is done. There’s no point in crying over spilled milk.
（済んでしまったことは仕方がありません。覆水盆に返らずです。）
=================================
4) At the time（その時）
=================================
at the timeは、「その時は」や「当時は」を意味する表現です。この表現は過去のある時点について話すときに使われ、特に今と状況が大きく異なることを表すときに使われる傾向があります。例えば、「当時は携帯電話がなかった」と言いたい場合は、“At the time, cellphones didn’t exist.”と言います。
＜例文＞
At the time, I was living in Japan teaching English.
（当時、私は日本で英語を教えていました。）
At the time, nobody had cellphones. It was important to be on time.
（当時は、誰も携帯電話を持っていませんでした。時間を守ることが重要でした。）
At the time, minimum wage was $5 an hour.
（当時の最低賃金は時給５ドルでした。）
=================================
5) A thing（流行っているもの）
=================================
thingは状況により様々な意味を持ちますが、a thingは「流行っているもの」を表します。例えば、「TikTokって流行っているの？」は“Is TikTok a thing?”、「昔流行っていました」は“It used to be a thing.”のように表現します。
＜例文＞
Back when I was a teenager, pagers were a thing.
（私が10代の頃、ポケベルが流行っていました。）
Wearing baggy jeans used to be a thing in the 90s.
（90年代はダボダボのジーンズを履くのが流行っていました。）
Zoom drinking parties became really popular last year. Is that still a thing?
（去年はZoom飲み会が大流行しましたね。今でも続いているんですか？）

白噪音是人耳的可聽頻率範圍(20~2000KHZ)中，一段以相同功率持續發出的聲音。聽覺系統像是隨時待機的警報系統，當我們在睡覺時，「突然」的聲音出現，大腦查覺到這些突發的聲音產生警覺，進而影響睡眠而醒來。
白噪音在聲音的頻譜中，它從高頻到低頻平均分配。就如同一道牆，能夠屏蔽很多細節，讓你沒有意識到聲音的變化。絕對理想的白噪音是不存在的，而大自然的聲音是最接近白噪音的聲音。
ホワイトノイズは、人間の耳の可聴周波数範囲（20〜2000KHZ）で同じパワーで連続的に放出される音です。 聴覚システムは、いつでも待機している警報システムのようなものです。私たちが眠っているとき、「突然の」音が現れ、脳はこれらの突然の音を検出して警告を発し、睡眠に影響を与えて目を覚まします。
ホワイトノイズは音のスペクトルにあり、高周波から低周波まで均一に分布しています。 壁のように、細部を遮ることができるため、音の変化に気付くことはありません。 絶対に理想的なホワイトノイズは存在せず、自然の音はホワイトノイズに最も近い音です。
White noise is a sound that is continuously emitted with the same power in the audible frequency range of the human ear (20~2000KHZ). The auditory system is like an alarm system on standby at any time. When we are sleeping, "sudden" sounds appear, and the brain detects these sudden sounds to generate alertness, which affects sleep and wakes up.
White noise is in the sound spectrum, and it is evenly distributed from high frequency to low frequency. Just like a wall, it can shield a lot of details, making you unaware of the changes in sound. Absolutely ideal white noise does not exist, and the sound of nature is the sound closest to white noise.
백색 소음은 사람의 귀의 가청 주파수 범위 (20 ~ 2000KHZ)에서 동일한 파워로 지속적으로 방출되는 소리입니다. 청각 시스템은 대기 상태의 경보 시스템과 같으며, 잠을 자면 "갑작스러운"소리가 나타나고 뇌는 이러한 갑작스러운 소리를 감지하여 수면에 영향을 미치고 깨어납니다.
백색 잡음은 사운드 스펙트럼에 있으며 고주파에서 저주파로 고르게 분포됩니다. 벽과 마찬가지로 많은 세부 사항을 보호하여 소리의 변화를 인식하지 못합니다. 절대적으로 이상적인 백색 소음은 존재하지 않으며 자연의 소리는 백색 소음에 가장 가까운 소리입니다.
เสียงสีขาวเป็นเสียงที่เปล่งออกมาอย่างต่อเนื่องด้วยกำลังเดียวกันในช่วงความถี่ที่ได้ยินของหูมนุษย์ (20~2000KHZ) ระบบการได้ยินเปรียบเสมือนระบบเตือนภัยเมื่ออยู่ในโหมดเตรียมพร้อมตลอดเวลา เมื่อเราหลับ เสียง "กะทันหัน" จะปรากฏขึ้น และสมองจะตรวจจับเสียงกะทันหันเหล่านี้เพื่อสร้างความตื่นตัว ซึ่งส่งผลต่อการนอนหลับและตื่นขึ้น
สัญญาณรบกวนสีขาวอยู่ในสเปกตรัมเสียง และกระจายอย่างสม่ำเสมอจากความถี่สูงไปยังความถี่ต่ำ เช่นเดียวกับกำแพง มันสามารถปกป้องรายละเอียดได้มากมาย ทำให้คุณไม่รู้ถึงการเปลี่ยนแปลงของเสียง ไม่มีสัญญาณรบกวนสีขาวในอุดมคติอย่างแท้จริง และเสียงของธรรมชาติเป็นเสียงที่ใกล้เคียงที่สุดกับเสียงสีขาว
Tiếng ồn trắng là âm thanh được phát ra liên tục với cùng công suất trong dải tần có thể nghe được của tai người (20 ~ 2000KHZ). Hệ thống thính giác giống như một hệ thống báo động ở chế độ chờ bất cứ lúc nào, khi chúng ta đang ngủ sẽ xuất hiện những âm thanh "đột ngột", não bộ sẽ phát hiện ra những âm thanh đột ngột này để tạo ra sự tỉnh táo, ảnh hưởng đến giấc ngủ và thức giấc.
Tiếng ồn trắng nằm trong phổ âm thanh, và nó được phân bố đều từ tần số cao đến tần số thấp. Cũng giống như một bức tường, nó có thể che chắn rất nhiều chi tiết, khiến bạn không nhận biết được những thay đổi của âm thanh. Tiếng ồn trắng lý tưởng tuyệt đối không tồn tại, và âm thanh của tự nhiên là âm thanh gần nhất với tiếng ồn trắng.
White noise adalah suara yang terus menerus dipancarkan pada intensitas yang sama dalam rentang frekuensi (20~2000KHZ) yang dapat didengar oleh telinga manusia. Sistem pendengaran itu seperti sistem alarm yang selalu siaga. Saat kita tidur, akan ada suara “mendadak”. Saat otak mendeteksi suara yang tiba-tiba ini, maka akan menimbulkan kewaspadaan dan mempengaruhi tidur dan terjaga.
White noise terdistribusi secara merata dalam spektrum suara dari frekuensi tinggi ke frekuensi rendah. Sama seperti dinding, ia dapat melindungi banyak detail dan membiarkan Anda mengabaikan perubahan suara. White noise yang benar-benar ideal tidak ada, dan suara alam adalah suara yang paling dekat dengan white noise.
Il rumore bianco è un suono che viene emesso continuamente alla stessa intensità all'interno della gamma di frequenze (20~2000KHZ) che l'orecchio umano può sentire. Il sistema uditivo è come un sistema di allarme sempre in allerta.Quando dormiamo, ci sarà un suono "improvviso".Quando il cervello rileva questo suono improvviso, causerà la vigilanza e influenzerà il sonno e la veglia.
Il rumore bianco è distribuito uniformemente nello spettro sonoro dall'alta frequenza alla bassa frequenza. Proprio come un muro, può proteggere molti dettagli e permetterti di ignorare i cambiamenti nel suono. Il rumore bianco assolutamente ideale non esiste e il suono della natura è il suono più vicino al rumore bianco.
Ang puting ingay ay isang tunog na patuloy na inilalabas sa parehong lakas sa loob ng saklaw ng dalas (20 ~ 2000KHZ) na naririnig ng tainga ng tao. Ang auditory system ay tulad ng isang alarm system na laging naka-alerto. Kapag natutulog tayo, magkakaroon ng isang "biglaang" tunog. Kapag nakita ng utak ang biglaang tunog na ito, magdudulot ito ng pagkaalerto at makakaapekto sa pagtulog at paggising.
Ang puting ingay ay pantay na ipinamamahagi sa tunog ng spectrum mula sa mataas na dalas hanggang sa mababang dalas. Tulad ng isang pader, mapoprotektahan nito ang maraming mga detalye at hahayaan kang balewalain ang mga pagbabago sa tunog. Ganap na perpektong puting ingay ay hindi umiiral, at ang tunog ng kalikasan ay ang tunog na pinakamalapit sa puting ingay.
突然睡覺前 youtube popup 近兩年前在波士頓錄過的片。社運初期，還未有肺炎，現在回望內容絕對正確，令我特別深深感動! 和你重溫對我影響極大的《巴菲特的五個名言》:
正面思維，有危有機《巴菲特的五個名言》
「商舖老千， 氹人落水。」「 仲叫人買，香港都咁亂，走都走唔切，你想爭落周身債 ? 」
#李根興最喜愛的李小龍名句，#掘井故事，#巴菲特的五個名言
依家我又嚟咗Boston Harvard 讀書，一個叫做 Owner President Management Renew 嘅課程，我後面呢條叫 Charles River， 令我諗起一個由細到大我都聽過，好簡單，但影響我好深嘅故事。
從前有兩個人， 又細到大，一起身都沿住兩條唔同嘅路去條河度飲水。 雖然條河啲水就越飲就越乾。一個唔理， 就繼續日日行去飲。另一個，就日日行去之前都會沿途搵到位掘個窿。 雖然成日畀人笑死佢戇居， 掘來做乜呀， 前面咪有水飲囉。 佢就唔理，就日日都堅持掘少少掘少少。
終於有一日條河乾咗，一個就渴死咗，另一個就就終於掘咗個井繼續有水飲。故事帶出乜嘢理念?
我明，呢個故事嘅道理個個都可能聽過，但試問，有幾多人又能夠真正做到呢? 日日掘，不斷掘， 天陰、天晴、下雨都要掘。你又有無掘呢?
上星期我先至同我嘅同事/老婆分享咗呢個故事。 我話而家香港咁亂，我哋做商舖基金嘅，一定會受影響。 但就係因為亂，我哋嘅步伐更加唔好亂。 我繼續會日日睇舖，日日錄片，日日搵租客，日日諗下點樣幫間舖增值。日日掘井。無論人哋點睇我哋，99%嘅人當我哋白痴， 慳番啦，只要1%嘅人支持我哋已經足夠。做生意，最怕嘅就係99%嘅人唔 care about 你，而最後嗰1%嘅人都唔記得你，then you become no body. 玩完!
股神巴菲特 Warren Buffett 有5個quotes 好影響我:
(5) We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful. (在別人貪婪的時候恐懼，在別人恐懼嘅時候貪婪。)
當全世界都覺得唔好買鋪嘅時候，可能係買舖最好時機。 依家唔係賣鋪嘅時候，而家係買舖嘅時機。5至10年你睇返我呢句說話，你會明。
(4) Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing. (風險，就係當你唔知道自己做緊乜嘅時候。) 掘井一樣，唔好亂咁掘，周圍掘。 搵到個啱嘅位置，係你嘅 passion, capability 同埋 profit potential 嘅中間重疊位， 就不斷重複地掘落去。
如果你今日投資/買舖， 只係純粹博一博，依家風頭火勢，的確好大風險。 如果你知道邊個位有發展潛力，點樣搵到個好租客，點樣幫佢做多啲生意，點樣exist plan去賣咗間舖，唔怕買。Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing. If you know, go for it.
(3) No matter how great the talents or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant. 無論點叻，有啲嘢係需要時間。如果你有睇我嘅《十大創業忠告》，5 years，大方向啱嘅就 give it at least 5 years。我2001年創業開始接觸「舖」，到依家18年啦。
我好幸運，我有兩個好好嘅創業 advisors，我阿爸同阿哥 Steven。 佢哋成日同我講:「 根興，做任何生意同投資，都要量力而為，有持久性。 唔好一個浪襟埋嚟，就失蹤咗。 要因應時勢作出改變， 但唔係好似邊個邊個咁，一時就日日見報， 傳奇幾百億身家，一時就玩失蹤。大上大落，甚至乎好似神童輝(羅兆輝)，上埋天堂，人間消失。 」做生意，要經得起考驗。時間會證明一切。
(2) The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself. The more you learn, the more you'll earn. 最好嘅投資，就係在自己身上，增長知識。 亦都因為咁，我不斷提醒自己要進修學習。 唔好人云亦云，要自己有獨立思維。
(1) The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything. (成功及最成功嘅人分別就係最成功嘅人對絕大部分嘅事情都係 say No. )
由2009年我買第一間街舖開始，除咗幾千萬以內香港嘅地舖，我全部都 say No. 依家好多大家族，大基金，搵我開 seperate account 同佢哋買舖，我都一樣 say no. 如果你睇緊呢條片，諗住搵我seperately 幫你買舖， 你慳番啦。 因為除咗我哋公司嘅唯一一隻「旗艦基金」以外， 你唔會見到我個名買住宅，買車位，買工廈，買office。 我自己亦都唔會以個人身份去買舖，為免同公司嘅基金有衝突。 因為我相信做人做生意，做一樣嘢，做好佢，已經足夠。 我同全公司講，香港有十萬街舖， 我哋目標就係個fund要own咗當中1%，即係1000間，最有質素啲舖。未有第一千間前，乜都唔駛唸。大家專注做好佢。要搵 Blue Ocean, 就係要識 say NO，say 得快狠準!
投資要分散，做生意要專注。李小龍名言，亦都係掛喺我公司office嘅唯一名言: "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
我知大家呢刻心情都唔好，但無論是市況點亂， 都要練好功夫， 繼續掘井。 有危就有機。 你個井又掘成點呢? 知道邊度掘，日日掘，專注掘。記住感恩過去，珍惜現在，對未來抱著希望，嗰個感覺真係好正!
Summary:
Warren Buffett 5 Quotes:
(5) We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.
(4) Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.
(3) No matter how great the talents or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.

JJ Lin 林俊傑 《倖存者· 如你》維度二 首張全英文EP《Like You Do》
OUT NOW 全面數位發行 https://jjlin.lnk.to/LYDAY
Have you imagined a world where
You’re more than just You?
What would that be like?
Drifter • Like You do - a Double-dimensional, deluxe EP creatively led by JJ Lin, from music productions to visual concepts. The music narrative of DRIFTER • LIKE YOU DO is inspired by a concept JJ has been ruminating on - the possibility of a parallel universe.
In this latest release which marks JJ’s 14th album, as well as his first english EP throughout his illustrious career of 18 years, JJ delves into his innermost thoughts and feelings, redefining his music perspectives to put forward a stripped down and introspective representation of his music and self.
In Quantum Theory
Space and time are not continuous
A parallel universe is a possibility
Could it be possible that somewhere, somehow
In an obscure corner of the universe
An infinite number of us exist?
Where perhaps, I could be you, and you could be me?
I seem to be a Drifter in this vast expanse... Like You Do.
-
[DRIFTER • LIKE YOU DO ]
Part One: The 1st Dimension - DRIFTER
Music has always been an expression of self for JJ. His journey of self-discovery could be traced back to his From M.E. To Myself (2015) album, with him eventually finding the connection between himself and the world, and shared through his Message in a Bottle (2017) album.
In the recent years, JJ embarked on a different route to self-discovery as he shifts the focus of his music from self to “you”. Conveyed through his double EP DRIFTER • LIKE YOU DO, JJ propounds a new direction for self-reflection.
DRIFTER EP features six brand new Mandarin songs that weaved together a complete concept of: What would you do, if you, were not just you? The songs inspire us to contemplate the possibility that our consciousness could determine who we are - there could be multiple endings to every story, and when we believe so, the future will be limitless.
Part Two: The 2nd Dimension - LIKE YOU DO
An extension of Drifter, LIKE YOU DO explores a self-examining concept: What is left after you rid yourself of expectations?
When darkness descends, have you, in pursuit of survival, stumbled upon another version of yourself that is so foreign yet familiar? You could be that drifter, that is the only glimpse of hope left in a despondent world. Which version of you would emerge in face of adversity? If a parallel universe does exist, JJ is breaking out of his shell and introducing the hidden version of himself that we have yet to meet via LIKE YOU DO.
Partnered with new music collaborators Fernando Garibay, Nasri Atweh, Joshua Kissiah Cumbee, Ramiro Padilla and Daniel Padilla, JJ endeavours to offer fresh perspectives and sounds for this EP.
The journey and story of this alternate JJ Lin has just begun.
—
“All these years, one thing I’ve learnt is that it’s one of the hardest things in life to accept the flawed version of ourselves. We work so hard to be the best and to be perfect; many times we want to believe that we are unstoppable, and that only by being strong, we can be successful.
“Like You Do” to me is the opposite of that.
Every song is a reflection of the darker version of myself. And I’ve found a sense of healing, by reaching in and realising that true strength is found in embracing every version of the self. It’s only when you strip yourself of all expectations, that your every next step will be a form of gain and reward.
There is beauty in that.”
— JJ Lin
＿＿＿
近年來我深深體悟到一件事：接受有缺憾的自我，是一生中最難的事情之一。
對於任何事務，我們努力做到最好、盡可能達到完美；很多時候，我們試著去相信自己是無懈可擊的，因為唯有堅強，才能成功。
然而，【Like You Do】對我而言正是相反的。
每首歌，都反映出自己的內心深處某個曾不可觸及的一面。過程中，通過自我剖白來學習擁抱自己的不完美，並找到真正的力量。而從中，我被療癒了。
當你擺脫所有期望時，每一步都將轉化為獲得和回報。
那正是最美的。
- JJ 林俊傑
【Like You Do】中的JJ Lin是一鍵歸零，
也是一步躍進。 跳脫既定模板，拋開過往的該與不該。
在【Like You Do】EP中，JJ Lin回到做音樂的本質面貌說故事，當這個語言更加直覺，遇見的自己就越加真實。捧著初衷的純粹，JJ成為昏暗夜晚中的一雙堅定眼神，穿透情感與歲月的虛與實。一刻明亮的獲得，是歷經所有的願與不願，坦然面對這些擁有與失去，於是回歸誠實後的純粹，如這世界上的每一個你，重新擁抱世界附加在自己身上的能量。
為帶給這張全英文EP更完整的體驗，JJ遠赴異地，尋找更多不同的聲音，當沒有任何模板框架，跳脫以往的創作模式，他的音樂更加自我也更加自由。JJ邀請多次獲得葛萊美獎項提名之專輯製作人- Fernando Garibay、Joshua Kissiah Cumbee、Ramiro Padilla、Daniel Padilla等多位專業音樂人攜手創作。與全新的音樂夥伴合作，無論曲、詞，JJ自在地享受，完全地吸收來自不同的音樂人所給予的能量，共同激盪出不同以往的音樂風格。一切不經設定、沒有設限也沒有包袱，放下習慣的唱腔，衝撞出全新的聲音。所有面貌都是最原始最嶄新，也是翻面後的第一頁。
歸零的同時，就會遇見真實的自己。
這個挑戰，是JJ 17年來從未有過的經驗，在華語市場中多年的累積，逐漸締造屬於最JJ的音樂版圖。但這一次，林俊傑顛覆一切的認知、放下一切的理所當然與成長脈絡，為了自我實現的這一刻，成為了歸零的JJ Lin，勇敢擁抱陌生的環境與不同的音樂文化，JJ已經不是JJ，但也不再只是原本的JJ。
