对于旅行之类的题材一直都很感冒,再加上“only one week to live”这个背景,和片中非常贴切的音乐,one week 让我看了好几遍。虽然剧情很老套,但是依然非常有效。和 the bucket list 不同,此片的主题是重塑自我,旅行中遇到的人和看到的事物,和主角Ben不停的发生碰撞,直到最后Ben对自己有了一个新的认识。
旅行是个好东西,旅行中遇到形形色色的人和各种壮丽的景色,可以改变一个人的世界观和价值观。如果生命中只剩最后一周,你会做什么?每个人的回答都 会不同,但对于我来说,也许会去做自己真正想做却一直被现实羁绊的事。仔细想想,确实有很多想做却不能放开去做的事,也许我该像 the bucket list 中一样,列一个 list,然后慢慢去实现。
最后问题来了:
“What would you do if you knew you only had one day, one week or one month to live? What lifeboat would you grab on to? What secret would you tell? What person would you declare your love to? What wish would you fulfill? What exotic locale would you fly to for coffee? What book would you write?"

'My kind of music' reveals a lot about who we really are, in a way that that goes beyond vanity. Does sound affects us in more ways than we know?
A] 4 ways sound affects us:
Do open-plan offices reduce productivity; does noise repel customers? Why are marching bands popular in schools/ colleges before sports meets? Why are we calmed by the sounds of waves lapping or birds chirping? Why does silence make people uncomfortable after some time? Don't we instinctively choose music to turn-on a date or drown out irksome people. Can sound be used by individuals and businesses to create a more conducive environment? A fascinating TED talk by @juliantreasure explores the many ways sounds enhances productivity and destroys calm. What I find particularly interesting is that we often work with irritating sounds, masking them with louder music, but our senses detect the conflict even when we don't recognise it.What's your favourite mood-altering music?
B] 'How to lead'
Lets play a small game: Imagine yourself conducting an orchestra, before you watch this video.
Itay Talgam shares footage of 6 great orchestra conductors and how they lead with non-verbal signals - with amusing, and more often spectacular results. This amusing and thought provoking talk is a surprising exploration of leadership styles.The 'business' question it left me with: Do we treat employees as instruments or partners in growth?
These talks also brought home vividly that we can't mask what makes us all human - the ability to laugh and to choose, being happy.
Have you really tried to understand?
No. Okay well why don't you try to mute dissent and turn arguments into conversations. ☚ Not a question ... this is advice.
Look outside your own world
We all get caught up secretly believing that our way is better than others, however,The Merciless God of Perfection doesn't want you to believe there are other ways of viewing things. ☚ Shout out to The One real GOD, his SON & their homeboy the HOLY GHOST cause' they are the only ones you should put your faith in.
Pay attention to the needs of others
Try to keep track of what's going on, be sensitive to telltale signs & don't take things for granted. Think constructively & work to improve relations.
Calm your nerves and center yourself
Don't stick stubbornly to your point of view, go ☠smoke or exercise or do that thing the we all like to do ☚ You scream, I scream, we all scream for ...
☠
...to see how long it takes for my good (or at least a tad above avg.) mood to be crushed by work and the real world.
