我们当然也都曾有／仍有梦想，但梦想总会随着岁月流逝，随生活重担渐模糊，我们可以什么都不做，就让梦灭，或找新的刺激元素来撞击出创意花火，让生命继续精彩。
相信我，当你让自己的理想／目标／梦想幻灭，没人会有空同情你。但当你积极在新一代的世界里“不耻下问”，人家会觉得“Wow! it’s nice。”
香港乐坛前辈潘迪华去年推出了一张与新一代音乐人合作的独立音乐合辑“My Dream My Way My Indie Music”，非主流，但两代人相互尊重撞击出来的创意火花让我深深感动，尤其是潘迪华与林一峰合唱的《我在梦里见过你》，两把相差50年的声音结合在一起，居然如此令人着迷。
这就是撞击的魅力。

When we stop worrying about unimportant matters we can devote more to what is truly important.
We experience numerous disappointments each and every day. Our expectations go unmet, our plans are blocked by circumstance, our wishes go unfulfilled, and we discover that our lives are subject to a myriad of forces beyond our conscious control.
The tension that permeates our bodies and minds when we are late for an event, interrupted at work, or sitting in traffic is not inappropriate, but it can interfere with our well-being in profound ways. When we stop worrying about relatively unimportant matters, we can be at peace and devote so much more of ourselves to what is truly important.
The small frustrations and irritations wield such power over us because they rob us of the illusion of control.
But every problem is a potential teacher—a confusing situation is an opportunity to practice mindfulness, and difficult people provide us with opportunities to display compassion.
There is a natural human tendency to invest copious amounts of emotional energy in minor dilemmas and frustrations in order to avoid confronting those more complex issues that are largely outside the realm of our control. The intensity of our response provides us with a temporary sense of personal power that helps us cope with challenges that might otherwise overwhelm us. But it is only when we let the little stuff go that we discover that the big stuff is not really so devastating after all.
In the stress of a singularly tense incident, differentiating between an inconsequential annoyance and a legitimate challenge can seem a monumental task.
Ask yourself whether the emotions you are feeling will be as vivid in a year, a day, or even an hour. As focused as you are on this moment in time, your reward for letting go of your emotional investment may be the very happiness and harmony of being whose loss you are lamenting. Needless aggravation is seldom worth the cost it exacts. You cannot distance yourself from life’s inconsistencies, irritations, and upheavals, but you can relinquish your desire for perfect order and gain peace of mind in the process.
