🔥It’s Never Too Late to Start a Brilliant Career
別捧少年成名,開竅永遠不嫌晚
🏆Today we are madly obsessed with early achievement. We celebrate those who explode out of the gates, who scorch the SAT, get straight A’s in AP courses, win a spot at Harvard or Stanford, get a first job at Google or Goldman Sachs, and headline those ubiquitous 30-under-30 lists.
如今我們瘋狂追捧着年少成名的故事。我們推崇那些從起跑線開始就一路領先的天才,他們高分搞定SAT,用無數的A串起成績單,獲得哈佛或者斯坦福的錄取名額,畢業之後第一份工作就入職google或者高盛,並且登上那些漫天飛舞的“30位30歲以下的俊傑”榜單。
👀But precocious achievement is the exception, not the norm. The fact is, we mature and develop at different rates. All of us will have multiple cognitive peaks throughout our lives, and the talents and passions that we have to offer can emerge across a range of personal circumstances, not just in formal educational settings focused on a few narrow criteria of achievement. Late bloomers are everywhere once you know to look for them.
然而年少成名的案例注定是個例,而非常態。每個人發展成熟的速度是不一樣的,我們人生中都會有數個認知水平的巔峰期,並且我們的才能和熱情也會在各種各樣的個人境遇中得到激發和釋放。正式的教育流程着眼於用很少的幾項評判標準來選拔優秀人才,因此並不是所有人都得在那個體系裡一展宏圖。如果你仔細找找的話,你的身邊一定有許多大器晚成的人。
🗣Recent research suggests that we need to modify our understanding of how people mature from adolescence to adulthood. Between the ages of 18 and 25, most people are still living in a volatile post-adolescence. In both adolescent and young adult brains, the prefrontal cortex—the processing center of our frontal lobe—is the last part to fully develop, and it is responsible for complex functions such as planning and organizing, problem solving, memory, attention and inhibition.
我們此前用於定義青少年長大成人的標準,也許需要修正一下。最近的研究表明,大多數18-25歲之間的人群仍然處於情緒波動較大的“後青春期“,青少年和年輕人的大腦中,額葉的資訊處理中心——前額葉皮質是最晚發展完全的部分,而前額葉皮質所負責的是人的計劃及組織能力、問題解決能力、記憶力、注意力和自控能力。

[翻轉視界9] 當存在不過待宰羔羊 - Never Let Me Go
Never let our empathy and humanity go!
永遠別泯滅同理心與人性!
《永不讓我走》是石黑郎的第六本小說,並被證明是自他的布克獲獎鼎盛時期以來最受歡迎的一本書。它在2010年改編成電影。有劇透,慎入 (Spoiler alert)!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The film takes place in the late 20th century after a medical breakthrough in 1952 has permitted the human lifespan to be extended beyond 100 years. In England, human beings are cloned and bred for the purposes of harvesting their organs once they reach adulthood.
1. medical breakthrough 醫療突破
2. permit允許;使…有可能
3. human lifespan 人類壽命
4. be cloned and bred 被複製與(為育種目的)飼養
5. for the purpose of 基於…的目的
6. harvest 豐收(這裡指把克隆人養大以獲取他們的器官)
7. reach adulthood 長大成人
這部電影的背景發生於20世紀晚期,在1952年醫學突破使人類壽命能延長至超過百歲之後。於英格蘭,人們基於獲取器官的目的而克被隆和繁殖。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Hailsham is a school for these clones. There, the clones live with no outside contact, interacting only with each other and their teachers, who are referred to as “guardians.” The Hailsham students know nothing of their fates or having any real understanding of the world.
8. clones 複製人
9. outside contact (n.) 外界接觸
10. know nothing of 對…一無所知
Hailsham是一所針對這些克隆人的學校。 在那兒,這些克隆人生活沒有外界與聯繫,只在克隆人之間以及與他們的老師(又稱「監護人」)的互動。Hailsham學生對自己的命運一無所知,對世界無從理解。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Once the children have reached maturity, they leave their enclosed community and are given limited access to the normal world while awaiting summons to make “donations.”
11. reach maturity 達到成熟(這裡指成年)
12. enclosed community 封閉的社區
13. limited access to 有限度的
14. summons (n.) 命令;召喚
15. make donation 捐贈
一旦孩子(克隆人)成年,他們便離開封閉的社區,等待命令進行「捐贈」時,只被允許相當限度的進入「正常的世界」。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
In the end, the young adults learn the truth of their fates but they do not respond with sorrow or anger. They lack the essential concepts of justice and injustice, and do not even have the words to fight their oppression. Like those conditioned to be exploited, they blame themselves, thinking that they deserve their inferior status and fates. Rather than attempting to revolt, they latch onto the empty promise of escape for a lucky few.
16. lack (v.) 缺乏*
17. essential concepts of 基本概念
18. justice and injustice 正義與不義
19. do not have the words並未討論、爭吵
20. fight oppression 反抗壓迫
21. conditioned 習慣的、適應的
22. inferior status and fates 低等的地位與命運
23. revolt (v.) 反抗;造反;反叛
24. latch onto sth 與…發生聯繫; 纏上; (這裡指寄望於)
25. empty promise 虛假承諾
最後,年輕人知曉了命運真相,他們卻不會悲傷或憤怒地回應。 他們缺乏正義和不義的基本概念,也缺乏反抗壓迫的言論。 像那些習慣被剝削的人一樣,他們責備自己,認為自己卑劣的地位和命運是應當的。他們並未試圖反慷,而是寄望於成為少數幸運逃生的虛假承諾。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
“If you don’t know you’re a slave , how do you fight to be free?”
「如果你不知道自己是奴隸,要怎麼為自由而戰?」
“If you don't know the words, that means you don't understand the concept, and therefore, you don't even realize that concept is even a possibility.”
「如果你不知道某些詞彙,那就意味著你並不了解某些概念,因此你也不會意識到,那些概念可以是一種可能。」
Freedom is fragile. I don't want to alarm you, but it is. It only took three generations to make North Korea into George Orwell's "1984." It took only three generations. If we don't fight for human rights for the people who are oppressed right now who don't have a voice, as free people here, who will fight for us when we are not free?
自由很脆弱。我不想嚇你,但事實如此。短短三個世代,就讓北韓淪為喬治.歐威爾筆下的《1984》。只花了三個世代。如果我們不為人權而戰,不為受壓迫、不為無法發聲的人而戰,當身為自由人的我們不自由時,誰還願意為我們而戰?
——Human rights activist, Yeonmi Park 人權鬥士朴延美

Hey guys,
It seems like it took us forever to edit this vlog. But we hope we are not too late~ First, we would like to thank you guys for all the bday wishes. You guys made our day even more special and warmer ?? We hope that we can continue to celebrate more bdays with you guys ???
We realised we only have 5000-word limitation here so we couldn't answer everyone. Sorry guys~ We'll probably answer them in our other vlogs.
Lots of love,
Jo & Sue
?IG QUESTIONS?
? What kind of app you use to edit your insta stories?
Sue: Inshot app. Cinema 02 filter + grains OR I use SNOW app

We both have our own routine & we respect each other space. We actually spend most of our time alone~ Just in the vlog it seems like we are together 24/7
? If all expenses paid and no pain at all, what kind of plastic surgery would you girls do?
Love this question! We do get sponsorship offer for plastic surgery and we have kinda high tolerance for pain but we still rejected the offer =) We don’t think we would change a thing~ It’s not that we are happy with everything that we’re born with just that we think we rather learn to love what we are given. That being said, we are not against plastic surgery either.
? With your current income, do you guys be able to make a living on your own?
We survived. LOL~ It’s not a lot but we love what we do and we’ll continue to work hard.
? What happens if you are over 35 and have not married yet?
Good question~ We don’t think it should be an issue. Married or not, it won't change a thing =)
? Is there any tips or book recommended to start reading?
We all have different book preferences. When people say they are not a reader we always think that they have not found the right book. It’s not you, it’s the book LOL So keep searching and keep reading. Don’t feel bad to leave a book if you don’t like it~
? What if one day you two fall in love with the same guy?
It’s not going to happen~ We both have different taste in guys
? If you were to focus on one thing you can improve on, what would it be?

Sue: I like animated guys… I’ll leave it as that. LOL
? What made you start your own business? How to solve it when no customer buy?
We started our first business as a side thing. We just love clothings and we thought selling clothing would be fun. When we closed our clothing business down, opening another business seems like a familiar thing to do~
& how to get more customers? You can pay for ads. Get influencers to promote your business. Get family and friends to spread the news.
? Do you guys inspire each other? Who inspire who the most?
We both have different style so we get inspirations from outside sources ( like on Pinterest, YouTube or Instagram)
? How tall are you guys? Both of you look so tall.
We get that a lot. But we are tiny~ 157cm =)

My advice … Live & Be happy. Do what you love. Learn about yourself as much as you can. Learn new things. Try new things. and use SPF HAHA!
Sue: This is an exciting time. Like what Jo said, "Learn about yourself as much as you can". It's the time you get to choose what you want to do, what you want to be and be sure to choose wisely who you surround yourself with. .
