The Fratellis - Whistle For The Choir
Web source for the latest music: onlylyrics.com
Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty tell me your name
Is it out of line if I was to be bold and say "Would you be mine"?
Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen
I know I maybe on a downer I'm still ready to dream
Now it's 3 o'clock the time is just the time it takes for you to talk
So if you're lonely why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me no you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my hearts in broken pieces
And my heads a mess
And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo
That's got me going crazy for the things you do
So if you're crazy I don't care you amaze me
But you're a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible
So if you're lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh you're a silly girl, I know I heard it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don't even know me
You're so sweet to try oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible

Augustana - Sweet And Low
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies
I said hell is so close, and heavens out of reach,
But I ain't giving up quite yet,
I've got too much to lose,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, and i'll carry you home,
The rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine
The wind is gonna blow, the waters gonna rise
She said, when that day comes look into my eyes
But no ones giving up quite yet, we've got too much to lose,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl,
Hold me down,
And i'll carry you all the way
When you say you're fine
But you're still young and out of line,
When all I need's to turn around
To make it last, to make it count,
I ain't gonna make the same mistakes
That put my mama in her grave
I don't wanna be alone

Augustana - Boston
In the light of the sun
Is there anyone
Oh it has begun
Oh dear you look so lost
Eyes are red
And tears are shed
The world you must have crossed
You said
You don't know me
And you don't even care
Oh yeah
She said you don't know me
And you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
Yeah
Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you
You said
You don't know me
And you don't even care
Oh yeah
She said you don't know me
And you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
She said I think I'll go to Boston
Think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over
Where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California
I'm tired of the weather
Think I'll get a lover
And fly him out to Spain
I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of a sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice
Oh yeah
You don't know me
and you don't even care
Oh yeah
Boston
No one knows my name
Yeah
No one knows my name
No one knows my name
Yeah
Boston
No one knows my name

Rihanna - A Million Miles Away
Here we lay face to face once again
Silence cuts like a knife as we pretend.
And I'm wondering who will be to first to say what we both know
We're just holding on to could have beens and we should be letting go.
[Chorus:]
It feels like your a million miles away as your lying here with me tonight.
I can't even find the words to say
I can find a way to make it right.
And we both know that the story's ending
We play the part but we're just pretending
And I can't hide the tears cause even though your here
It feels like your a million miles away.
Was it me, or was it you that broke away?
For what we were is like a season
Love is change and every time I think about it
It tears me up inside.
Like the rivers of emotion but I got no more tears to cry.
[Chorus:]
[Music Plays:]
[Bridge]
We can try to talk it over but we walked that road before
While our song is playing its last note
We both know for sure that it's time to close that door.
[Chorus:]

Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Frankie Valli《 Can't Take My Eyes Off You》1967
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
chorus:
I love you baby and if it's quite all right
I need you baby to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you baby, let me love you

[雪兒] 父母寫給兒女的一封信
當我老了,不再是原來的我
請理解我,對我有一點耐心
當我把菜湯灑到自己的衣服上時,當我忘記怎樣繫鞋帶時
請想一想當初我是如何手把手地教你
當我一遍又一遍地重複你早已聽膩的話語
請耐心諦聽我說,不要打斷我
你小的時候,我不得不重複那個講過千百遍的故事,直到你進入夢鄉
當我需要你幫我洗澡時,請不要責備我
還記得小時候我千方百計哄你洗澡的情形嗎?
當我對新科技和新事物不知所措的時候
請不要嘲笑我。
想一想當初我怎樣耐心地回答你每一個「為什麼」
當我由於雙腿疲勞無法行走的時候,請你伸出年輕有力的手攙扶我
就像你小時候學習走路的時候,我扶你那樣
當我忽然忘記我們談話的主題,請給我一些時間讓我回想
其實對我來說,談論什麼並不重要,只要你能在我一旁聽我說,
我就很滿足
當你看著老去的我,請不要悲傷
理解我,支持我
就像你剛才開始學習如何生活時我對你那樣
當初我引導你走上人生路
如今請陪伴我走完最後的路
給我你的愛心和耐心
我會抱以感激的微笑
這微笑中凝結著我對你無限的愛

The Wonders - That Thing You Do!
You,
Doin' that thing you do,
Breaking my heart into a million pieces,
Like you always do
And you,
Don't mean to be cruel,
You never even knew about the heartache,
I've been going through
Well I try and try to forget you girl,
But it's just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do
I,
Know all the games you play,
And I'm gonna find a way to let you know that,
You'll be mine someday
'Cause we,
Could be happy can't you see,
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me
'Cause I try and try to forget you girl,
But it's just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do
I don't ask a lot girl,
But I know one thing's for sure,
It's the love I haven't got girl,
And I just can't take it anymore
'Cause we,
Could be happy can't you see,
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me
Cause it hurts me so just to see you go,
Around with someone new,
And if I know you you're doin' that thing,
Every day just doin' that thing,
I can't take you doing that thing you do

Matthew Good - Weapon
Here by my side, an angel
Here by my side, the devil
Never turn your back on me
Never turn your back on me, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven
Here by my side, you are destruction
Here by my side, a new colour to paint the world
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it, again
Here by my side, it's Heaven
Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off
Where the world drops off
Careful, be careful
You breathe in and you breathe out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
And you give in
And you give out
For it ain't so weird
How it makes you a weapon
Never turn your back on it
Never turn your back on it again
Careful, be careful
Here by my side, it's Heaven

Heather Small - Proud
I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people?
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?

今年還真是流年不利
先是七月底去竹科打工
結果被機車撞到我車子的右後方
保險公司賠了十萬塊給對方
阿姨花了兩萬塊修車
幫他們先墊健保費
結果拿健保卡去醫院找回的錢也沒還我們
結果今天要去載林中駿時
居然在轱嶺街出車禍
當下真的覺得我很衰小
因為跟上一次撞到的模式幾乎一樣
我又被右轉車撞
不過不一樣的是我這次是綠燈直行
而且有兩名好心的大學女生幫我撿東西
還是路人太太問候我
連附近樓上的住戶還開窗問我要不要叫救護車
溫暖的人情味
謝謝你們
被送到三總後
幸好有大姑姑一家來陪我
好久不見的佑佑居然是在醫院碰面
真的是很感謝他們一家人
陪我到快十二點
這次這個肇事者真的讓我很幹
一來醫院看到我居然還笑笑地跟我們說:你好,我是肇事者
而且我的左腳腫到痛得不得了
居然還問我哪裡有受傷
你娘勒!
你眼瞎了嗎?
你一進來就看到受傷的那隻腳
還問我有沒有怎樣
還跟舅舅說皮肉傷應該比較沒有怎麼樣
一直要快點和解
幹!你坐在賓士車裡當然沒怎樣
要不然你也來讓我撞一下
看你還嬉皮笑臉的出來嗎?
而且你說你剛從和平醫院去探望你女兒生產
幹!附近明明就只有聯合醫院跟婦幼醫院
哪來的和平醫院
聽了就很賭爛
我現在左腳整個就是痛的不得了
而且雙手回家後才開始痛
右腳踝也開始有點痛
整個就是很幹
而且車子撞壞了是要我怎麼去學校
真的是很不爽

挫折,是年輕人最好的禮物每個打擊,都有它的意義......
挫折,是年輕人最好的禮物每個打擊,都有它的意義......
我不祈求一帆風順,萬事如意,我只祈求當每個問題發生時,有繼續面對問題的勇氣與毅力,支撐下去。
-總裁獅子心 ~ 嚴長壽
人生路上,挫折常常會沒有預警地從四面八方襲來。可能是無法抗拒的天災地變;可能是難以預料的生老病死;可能是努力工作,卻懷才不遇;可能是全心付出,卻換來情人變心的回報;可能是用功苦讀,卻進不了理想的學校;可能是辛苦創業,卻落得血本無歸的下場。
面對各種不同的挫折,每個人的「容忍能力」都不同。
有的人受不了被拒絕
一個高學歷的朋友,從拒絕接受他感情的女生住處跳樓自殺,留下無限的遺憾與惋惜。
「他條件那麼好,還怕找不到更漂亮的女朋友嗎?」
「沒想到他長的那麼帥,還會殉情!」
「何苦如此專情?天涯何處無芳草!」
大部份的親友們都以為他是個死心眼的癡情奇男子,其實了解內情的人都曉得,小到大,他不知道拋棄了多少個女朋友,讓多少人為他傷心難過,卻受不了被人拋棄一次。
有的人受不了被誤解
到國外留學多年的朋友,提起出國一段不甚愉快的職場往事,仍然氣憤難耐。
當年因上班的地點,位於寸土寸金的商業精華區,幾乎每天都為了找停車位而遲到。直屬上司希望他能準時上班,便建議他把車子停在公司的停車位。
由於職位低、年資淺,朋友心想,「公司的停車位哪輪得到我來停呢?」
為求慎重起見,他再三詢問上司,「不會有問題嗎?真的可以停嗎?」
上司拍著胸脯保證,「絕對沒有問題,可以停啦!」
不料第一天把車子停在公司的停車位,就出事了。上班後不久,上司突然叫他,「你的電話。」拿起話筒,劈頭就被一個陌生女子罵了一頓,「我是公司的副理,立刻把你的車子開走。誰叫你把車停在我的位子上,害我上班遲到!」
被對方罵得莫名其妙,上司卻一點表示也沒有,朋友立即提出辭呈,不管公司怎麼留都沒有用。
有的人受不了被挑出錯誤
我認識一個辦事能力很強朋友,他什麼都好,就是受不了被挑出錯誤。只要,有人當眾指出他「哪裡做錯了」,便辭職不幹。
很多時候,面試他的主管起初都想不通,以他的學歷,早就該升官了,為什麼一直在原地打轉?等他提出辭呈才恍然大悟,原來他受不了被挑出錯誤。
有的人受不了一點不完美
好友的女兒生日,特地邀請幾個漂亮的阿姨去為小朋友慶生。
切蛋糕時,有個小客人拿到蛋糕缺一角,他馬上把蛋糕推開,「我不要吃破一個洞的蛋糕!」
「只缺一小角啊,蛋糕還是很好吃喔!」任憑阿姨們說破嘴,他就是不接受這塊缺了一角的蛋糕,最後只好換一塊「完美無缺」的蛋糕給他。
看他為了一點缺角而拒吃蛋糕的表情,我很替他的未來擔心,是否每次都能如願換到一塊完美無缺的蛋糕呢?
1、想想自己,受得了挫折嗎?
2、受得了被拒絕嗎?
3、受得了被誤解嗎?
4、受得了被挑出錯誤嗎?
5、受得了失敗的打擊嗎?
6、受得了期待落空嗎?
7、受得了不完美的存在嗎?
「挫折容忍度」,說簡單些,即是「一個人承受打擊的能力」。承受打擊的能力越強,自然學到的經驗越多,累積的成功及本錢也越多。承受打擊的能力越弱,自然會想辦法躲避挫折,同時喪失自我磨練的機會。
挫折,是年輕人最好的禮物
記得曾看過一篇文章,作者提到:他剛從軍中退伍時,只有高中學歷,無一技之長,只好到一家印刷廠,擔任「送貨員」。
一天,這年輕人將一整車四、五十捆的書,送到某大學的七樓辦公室;當他先把兩三捆的書扛到電梯口等候時,一位五十多歲的警衛走過來,說:「這電梯是給教授、老師搭乘的,其他人一律都不准搭,你必須走樓梯!」
年輕人向警衛解釋:「我不是學生,我是要送一整車的書到七樓辦公室,這是你們學校訂的書啊!」
可是警衛一臉無情的說:「不行就是不行,你不是教授,不是老師,不准搭電梯!」
兩人在電梯口吵半天,但警衛依然不予放行,年輕人心想,這一車的書,要搬完,至少要來回走七層樓梯二十多趟,會累死人的!
後來,年輕人無法忍受這「無理的刁難」,就心一橫,把四、五十捆書搬放在大廳角落,不顧一切的走人。
後來,年輕人向印刷廠老闆解釋事情原委,獲得諒解,但也向老闆辭職,並且立刻到書局買整套高中教材和參考書,含淚發誓,我一定要奮發圖強,考上大學,我絕不再讓別人「瞧不起」。
這年輕人在聯考前半年,天天閉門苦讀十四個小時,因為他知道,他的時間不多了,他已無退路可走,每當他偷懶、懈怠時,腦中就想起「警衛不准他搭電梯」被羞辱、歧視的一幕,也就打起精神、加倍努力用功。後來,這年輕人終於考上某大學醫學院。
如今,二十多年過去了,他也變成一家開業診所的中年醫生,然而,他靜心一想,當時,要不是「警衛無理刁難和歧視」,他怎能從屈辱中擦乾眼淚、勇敢站起來?
而那位被他痛恨的警衛,不也是他一生中的恩人嗎?經國先生曾說:「失意時需要忍,得意時需要淡。」
的確,人,都有失意,不順遂的時候,然而,我更相信!「挫折,是年輕人最好的禮物!」

A Quick Overview of the Big Five Model of Personality
Dimension I: Extraversion
This dimension addresses a person's preference for sociability and interactivity (high Extraversion, or E+) versus solitude and privacy (low Extraversion, or E-). E+ types tend to be quick to self-disclose, to process information out loud, to seek high levels of activity (to be outwardly busy), and to seek generalist work roles. E- types tend to be slow to self-disclosure (or selective about self-disclosure), to process information inwardly, to seek low levels of activity (to be inwardly busy), and to seek specialist work roles.
Dimension II: Openness
This dimension addresses a person's preference for abstract ideas and possibilities (high Openness, or O+) versus concrete realities and facts (low Openness, or O-). O+ types focus on thinking about the world as it might be, are more theory-driven, and tend to focus on the possibility or opportunity side of change (which, depending on their core values, may make them more "liberal"). O- types focus on acting in the world as it is now, are more application- or practice-driven, and tend to focus on the threat or risk side of change (which, depending on their core values, may make them more "conservative"). Under stress, O+ types tend to obsess, O- types to catastrophize. When solving problems, O+ types habitually try to widen or broaden the question (ask the biggest possible question first), while O- types habitually try to narrow the question (ask the smallest possible question first). To some extent, O+ types are more nonlinear, O- types more linear, in thought processes and learning styles.
Dimension III: Agreeableness
This dimension measures cooperative (high Agreeableness or A+) versus competitive (low Agreeableness or A-) approaches to interactions with others. A+ types usually describe themselves as empathic, sensitive, harmony-seeking; they like tasks and situations in which "everyone wins". A- types usually describe themselves as impersonal, analytical, outcome-driven; they like tasks and situations in which there are clear winners and losers. Correlated to the above, A+ types tend to decide subjectively ("with the heart") on the basis of personal values (but may find it hard to see the dark side of something they value, or may overidealize valued persons and situations), while A- types tend to decide objectively ("with the head") on the basis of impersonal logic (but may fail to factor in subjective or emotional considerations, or may strike others as too cold-bloodedly analytical).
Dimension IV: Conscientiousness
This dimension measures convergent, task oriented (high Conscientiousness or C+) versus divergent, process oriented (low Conscientiousness or C-) work styles. C+ types usually describe themselves as organized, structured, systematic, early starters with steady work habits; they lose efficiency in low structure situations (needing stability), and usually adopt a "work first, play later," serious minded stance to life. C- types usually describe themselves as spontaneous, flexible, adaptable, "feast or famine" workers who rely on bursts of enthusiasm or energy; they lose efficiency in high structure situations (needing autonomy), and usually adopt a "mix work and play", fun loving stance to life. (Note: all of us can be both serious minded and fun loving; but C+ types tend to keep the humor inside, C- types to keep the seriousness inside. This dimension measures what shows on the outside, which is not always the most important aspect of the person.) C+ types tend to focus heavily on image management (how they look to others), while C- types tend to neglect or ignore such considerations. C+ types can easily be too rigid or inflexible, while C- types can struggle with disorganization or procrastination.
Dimension V: Negative Emotionality
This dimension measures characteristic responses to stress. (It does not measure anxiety proneness in a clinical sense; both poles are normal personality variants.) High Negative Emotionality or N+ types are more emotionally labile (have a wider emotional range or more mood swings), experience and express anxiety directly (verbally), and tend to be more prone to such mood states as worry, self-doubt, and guilt. Low Negative Emotionality or N- types are more emotionally stable (have a narrower emotional range or fewer mood swings), experience and express anxiety indirectly (they engage in "anxiety binding" or the "somatization" of anxiety), and tend to be less prone to negative mood states. While our culture probably values N- over N+, it should be stated clearly that N+ is not only a normal variant but can be an adaptive one (it is, among other things, arguably more authentic, can lead to greater levels of compassion for fellow strugglers, and so forth).
