🎯PHẦN BÀI MẪU
These days people in some countries are living in a “throwaway” society which means people use things in a short time then throw them away. What are its causes and what impacts can it have?
Dịch đề: Ngày nay người dân ở một số quốc gia đang sống trong một “xã hội bỏ đi” nghĩa là người ta sử dụng đồ đạc trong một thời gian ngắn sau đó vứt chúng đi. Nguyên nhân và ảnh hưởng mà xã hội này gây ra?
The topic of “throwaway society” has been discussed in recent years. In this society, people tend to throw away their old items regardless of whether or not they still work and purchase the latest version of things. This essay will look at some primary reasons for this phenomenon and the adverse impacts that it could have on individuals and the environment.
There are several causes of the throwaway society and I think advertising could be the first culprit. Advertisements encourage people to purchase goods and services that they do not really need by delivering a message that possessing the latest version of an item could improve a person’s self-image, confidence and even social status. For example, many of today’s teenagers spend nearly $1,500 buying iPhone X to show that they are wealthy and fashionable even though their old phones are still in good condition and perfectly functional. Another cause is mass production of non-durable goods which are often used once and thrown away. These products are much cheaper and more convenient than durable ones, hence, attract a large number of customers.
Individuals living in the throwaway society could suffer a great deal. They could easily get into serious debt if they get into the habit of buying the latest, novelty items. Many teens are being burdened with thousands of dollars in credit card debt for their unnecessary purchases, which could lead to depression and anxiety. Environmental degradation is another problem facing the throwaway society. Due to excessive production of disposable goods, huge amounts of hazardous waste are being discharged into the environment, which directly contaminates soil and water.
In conclusion, there are various factors leading to the advent of our throwaway society and increasing consumer debt and environmental damage are the two major problems which result from this society.

We talk so much about diversity, let's not forget biodiversity! I'd like to share with you something that's close to my heart for so many reasons.
Sarawak Biodiversity Centre (SBC) collaborates with five local communities to produce LitSara® products. SBC buys the Litsea cubeba oil (tenem in Kelabit & Lun Bawang; pahkak in Bidayuh) distilled by the communities, and then makes products from them.
LitSara® is the trademark name for Litsea cubeba, a plant with a chemical make-up that is unique to Sarawak. Combining science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, SBC registered an intellectual property (IP) for this plant.
Because of the IP, the communities receive Indigenous Knowledge Benefit Sharing (royalties) for every Litsara® product sold.
I think it’s incredible that traditional knowledge, and unique plants of our land can be IP registered, because many a times people seek knowledge from our community elders for their own profit and forget that the wisdom passed down through generations within these communities. With IP-registration, their traditional knowledge is legally owned and protected and people can still use the plants and commercialise, whilst still benefiting the community.
There’s so much more to share about these efforts, you can get more info and the products on www.litsara.com
(I personally am looking forward to the IP registration of our folk songs, but that’s a story for another day).

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
かすれた声のまま 消えた君は帰らないから
冷たい夜空のよう 闇の中 滲んでゆくこと
散らかったおもちゃや 吐き捨てたどろんこさえも
美しく輝く星屑を探してたんだね?
ミッドナイトにカスタネットを どうかするくらい鳴らして
It’s all rightとか いっそcryとか どうかしてるから言わないで
10日前から こんな毎日 過ごした程度で怖がって
Only oneのLonely night 眠れないまま
揺れるトレモロのように囁く言葉が
失くした記憶の灯火を そっと胸の奥で揺らめかせて
平気なんて嘘ばかりで
君は幻の翼で空に浮かんで 得意げな顔でおどける
ふいにふりしぼる その笑顔が さよならの合図なんだと わかっていた
明日になれば また この空は違って見えるかな?
大人になれば ただ 目を閉じて眠ってしまうかな?
繋がれた鎖や せわしない時計の針が
美しく輝く星屑を連れて行くんだね
交差点から高架線まで いっそライトは消し去って
It’s all rightとか いっそcryとか どうかしてるから言わないで
通り過ぎてく こんな毎日 過ごしてばっかじゃ ダメだって
Only oneのLonely night 聞こえてるかな?
君は瞬きと共に過ぎてく時間も 遠くから見てると微笑んで
夜がつきつける その明日を あの日見た絵本のように 愛していて
揺れるトレモロの夜にきらめく雫が 集めた奇跡を音にして
ずっと憧れてた 夢見ていた おやすみの合図のように
そして 思い出は二人の音を結んで 途切れないトリル奏でる
夜がつきつける その明日を あの日見た絵本のように
君を打ちつける その涙も 朝を待つ世界のように 愛していて
愛していて
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
就算用嘶啞的聲音叫喊,但早已離去的你也回不來了啊
猶如冰冷刺骨的夜晚,漸漸滲入黑夜的死寂
但不論是四處散落的玩具,亦或被吐出口的泥濘
也曾探尋著美麗又璀璨生輝的星塵吧?
午夜時分的響板們啊,請盡你們所能地響徹鳴奏吧
「已經沒事了」、「盡情哭泣吧」,讓人難受就請別再說了
自十天前開始,每日都如此虛度光陰令我感到膽怯
在這孤單的無法入睡的夜晚,徹夜未眠
夜裡紛飛著,彷彿震音般的喃喃細語
幾時曾遺落的記憶燈火,靜靜地在這內心深處搖曳渲染
你總是撒下和煦平靜的謊言安撫此心
你展著虛幻的羽翼在空中翱翔,一臉得意地作伴嬉戲
不經意地竭盡哭喊,但我知道的啊,你那強顏歡笑,正是象徵離別的信號
倘若到了明天,還能看見這片不同的天空嗎?
倘若成了大人,閉上雙眼就能夠入眠了嗎?
但緊緊相繫的鎖鏈,亦或急忙奔走的時針
仍會帶著絢麗耀眼的繁星離去吧
自十字路口到高架鐵道,索性將所有光芒都抹去吧
「已經沒事了」、「盡情哭泣吧」,讓人難受就請別再說了
總是如此虛度光陰地度過每一日可不行啊
在這孤單的形單影隻的夜晚,你能聽見嗎?
與你共度的時光轉瞬即逝,但你仍會自遙遠的彼方面帶微笑守望
「哪怕漫漫長夜迎面而來、待至明日,仍將如那一天的繪本所描繪般,深愛著你。」
夜裡搖曳著,滴滴晶瑩剔透、熠熠生輝的震音,猶如匯聚而成的奇蹟樂章
我一直憧憬著、日夜夢著那聲響,聽來彷彿告別夜晚的信號
彼此的回憶令二人的聲音緊緊相繫,響徹永不停歇的顫音合奏
「哪怕漫漫長夜迎面而來、待至明日,仍將如那一天的繪本所描繪般——」
「那簌簌滴落你面頰的淚水,仍將如靜待黎明的世界般——深愛著你。」
「深愛著你。」
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
My voice is still hoarse since you disappeared, never to return
Inside darkness resembling a cold night sky, tears blur my eyes
As even within scattered toys and spilled mud, I'm searching
For beautiful, shining pieces of stardust
Somehow I'm able to ring the castanets at midnight
Whether it's all right or whether I'd rather cry, I'll manage somehow, so don't tell me
Ten days ago, the thought of spending, every day like this terrified me
Only one lonely night, I'm still unable to sleep
Like a wavering tremolo, the whispered words
Make forgotten memories, as torches, gently flicker in the depths of my chest
The seeming composure is just a lie
Lifted by wings of fantasy, you float in the sky, joking with an elated expression on your face
That smile in which you put forth your entire heart, somehow, I understood it was a sign of farewell
If tomorrow comes, will this sky look different then, too?
If I grow up, will I be able to fall asleep just by closing my eyes?
The chains linking us together, and the rushing hand of the clock
Are taking away with them the beautifully shining stardust
From the intersection to the overhead train, I'd rather the light wipe it all away
Whether it's all right or whether I'd rather cry, I'll manage somehow, so don't tell me
Though day after day passes, I can't just spend each one like this
Only one lonely night, will you be able to hear me?
You're in the twinkling of the stars as well as the past we shared, watching over me from afar and smiling
"When night confronts you in the coming days, like in those picture books we read back then, I'll always love you"
In the night with a wavering tremolo, the sparkling droplets. Cause the gathered miracles to let out a sound
Forever full of longing, I fell into dreams, as if it were a sign of farewell
Then, our memories tie our sounds together, playing a trill that will never come to an end
"When night confronts you in the coming days, like in the picture books we read back then"
"Even those tears which drip heavily from you now. just like a world waiting for morning, I'll always love all of you"
"I'll always love all of you"

make profit 在 李根興 Edwin商舖創業及投資分享 Youtube 的最佳解答
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.
(2) The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself. The more you learn, the more you'll earn.
(1) The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.

"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."
