兩面人

僅管同學問我,我只是虛偽地裝弱
但我的心裡仍舊想做些不同凡響的事情

一出手,就要和別人不一樣
願我能長久地保有這份自豪

流水

靜靜地,不被大眾之聲混淆
不因群眾鼓動而躁進,不因群眾沉默而冷卻
不停止自已的思想,
相信自已的身體,讓身體指引出心中的方向

不刻意擺出守勢或攻勢,
就像那流水一樣,
柔軟卻直指生命的希望

背影

今天我突然驚覺,我看到的一切人事物,全部都是我心中的反映。喜歡什麼人,害怕什麼人,都是因為我看到自已內心有趣/脆弱的一面,很想藉由別人的微笑,成就對我自身的肯定。

但為什麼我連自已的背影都不敢正視呢? 看似溫良恭儉讓,我是不是也打著什麼壞主意?

也鼓起勇氣承認自已是個笨蛋,再鼓起勇氣一步一步往上爬吧

我很喜歡Gurjar,第一次帶他去買東西時他說他想要買點東西給他太太和他兒子,想要買錶但我帶他去的店都太貴,最後是他自已跑來跑去逛到的…都已經是個院士了,還願意分時間和我聊天。

Dragon也是,我根本就不算是他的學生,他還是很願意和我談天。YP也是,就像個朋友一樣。瞿敬立老師也是,能包容我問的蠢問題,告訴我該往那走。

他們都是有名的數學家,個性大不相同,但都提醒我,就算再怎麼忙,也要真誠地對待每個人。

檢視

黑狗和白狗在獨木橋相遇,誰也不讓誰。

下星期三就回台灣了,難得有忙裡偷閒的時間,把該想的事情都想了一下。

先說和數學不大有關的好了。我住在一個不大適於學習的環境,樓上整天放搖滾音樂,我的室友之一有一陣子情緒不穩,那時聽他講了很多傷心的故事,也想過要做些什麼,但後來發現他的人生就是一種反覆,得志時高高興興整天吹著口哨,過一陣子心情又不好,又開始喝酒…當看見這些我視為人間醜態的醜態時,有時也會想想我自己想要過什麼樣的生活…有一天我會不會數學算到一半就暴斃了…這好像不是什麼理想的生活方式。在緊湊的步伐中,很難去發現我的青春其實也慢慢在消逝,有得有失…只是每次想到另一種人生的可能,都會惋惜一下。

和數學想關的結論也是一樣,我處在一個不大適於學習的環境…在這兒做log geometry的就只有我的老師,YP說當年他也只跟他的老師討論而已,想想也是有道理,這不應該拿來做進度不快的理由。從整天在躲Wiesie,到現在漸漸敢和老師討論…我想我還是有點進步,只是離真正有想法,做出東西還有一大段路要走。

我想下學期我一定要找個更安靜的環境,然後…少用些電腦,多聽點歌,多看點小說吧。很難想像我的朋友們大多已是社會人,特別是在自已的大學生活有點遺憾時…看著自已下巴上的青春痘,嗯,我的青春還沒有離我而去…

為什麼我到現在還沒睡

因為Wieslawa寄了一封信和我說,我明天要報告‧‧‧‧


剛剛去收信箱,他又回我說明天取消,because I'm not sure you're ready


我其實也不知道該說些什麼,溝通上好像有些問題,但又感到很無力,因為就算我熬夜,報告還是趕不出來…

我到底為什麼來到這兒?

Why Japan can win the WBC twice

At 3/22 a Japan baseball team broke American baseball fans' heart- Japan beats American in the semifinal and beats Korea in the final- Japan won WBC championship again. I think most people will agree MLB is the highest level league in the world, but they failed twice. Today I want to discuss this- first I will discuss the weakness of American team and second I will talk about why Japan can win the game.

Let me first discuss two different style of these two teams. American's baseball is powerful, and the hitter always full wing- even it's two strike zero ball. That's the different point when we look at Japan baseball team- they never full swing after two strike, and just contact the ball; besides, Japan focuses on the speed; almost all the players in Japan team can steal base. Of course many players in American team can steal, but not so many. Besides, there're many left hander hitter in Japan baseball team, it's the advantage since left hander hitter stand closer to first base and so they can combine this advantage with their speed; the infielder will under the pressure since evenif they get the ball maybe the hitter has arrived the first base.

Second, compared with American baseball, Japan baseball team is more displined. Every people knows what he shall do, not only want to get a double, home run; in many case they just want to get walk, and have all the base, give the pitcher much pressure; they will even use one out to get one run.

It looks just two different style of baseball, but it really matters in WBC. Let me mention the situation : it's the time before the season so professional players may not in their best condition and it's win or go home game- one game will determine if you are in or out. If players feel good, that's fine, they can still hit the ball out of the wall; but in many case they are not; hitters are still adjusting and the speed of the ball pithcers throw are less than that in the season. So we can see Japanse baseball style, which we can say " smallball" , is more suitable to win this game. As I said before, they don't want to hit a home run , but they will definitely get runs they shall have.

Maybe I shall mention one more point: Japan wants to win the game. I mean, of course every teams want to win the game, but baseball is the most popular game in Japan, they have a strong motivation to win the game.

Some good news is maybe next WBC game will hold at he time of World series; maybe at that time we can see who is the best baseball team in the world.
