Jolin的慾望探索、重塑與進化

不是Jolin粉絲,印象停留在跟周杰倫合作時期,知道Ugly Beauty開始有不同嘗試,聽了新專輯Pleasure,感受上跟過往有蠻多突破的

1.談的是女性自我慾望探索、掙扎與重新定義

2.歌詞英文比重很高,感覺有想打入中文圈子以外的市場

3.Pleasure 的MV美術、角色劇情、編舞很喜歡,外國男舞者骨架雖大,身體的質地剛柔都有辦法呈現出來

4. DIY找影后用讀劇本方式宣傳,透過自身解讀一句句來詮釋歌詞,恥度很高

5. 跟現在同期出道的大咖藝人團體比起來,有些只剩懷舊、風格不想變、體態歌喉下滑過多,算是很優秀

許效舜語言魔法,啟發TWICE偶像迷與法式台語金曲音樂

看來當年鐵獅玉玲瓏給了不少人啟發。例如,TWICE粉絲用該節目中貴寶(許效舜飾演)這個角色,來形容如果周子瑜最新的粉髮妝扮放在平凡人身上會是什麼樣子。另外,金曲獎得主李竺芯專輯《Suí 水》中的日式、法式台語,靈感來自於許效舜把台語與其他語言包裝結合的做法。

Book review of “Practice Perfect: 42 Rules for Getting Better at Getting Better”

Book introduction:

“Practice Perfect,” as the title hinted, is a how-to method book. I really enjoyed it and highlighted many notes. However, it couldn’t be half-long. The book chapters are not well-organized. Lemov, the author, breaks the core concepts(rethinking of practice, how to practice, using modeling, feedback, culture of practice and post-practice) into smaller and repetitious portions so that I could not connect every chapter in a straight way.

Below were some of the rules I felt applicable in this book:

Rethink practice and isolate your skills:

Practicing in a hustle and bustle environment sometimes distracts me from recognizing I’m learning in the wrong way. So I participate in the learning workshops or study groups for getting feedback from the other members. I could re-examine what skills to be sharpened through rethinking. Then I break the difficult paths for isolated skill development.

Bright spot:

Focus on your strength. Improving your weakness is a waste of time.

In the past, I tried to learn different domain knowledge and skills for the sake of proving myself. However, these skills didn’t turn out to be a competitive work advantage. As a knowledge worker, you must make effective contributions to your cooperation.

However, honing my weakness only makes me a mediocre worker. Why do I spend more energy    on my strength?

Shorten the feedback loop:

Implementing a small and easy change right away can be more effective than a complex rewiring a skill. So I usually try to post my thoughts on my Facebook after reading.

Replace your purpose with an object:

I love to make a New Year’s resolution to improve myself over the next months. Unfortunately, after only a few short weeks, most of them failed. By writing a reflective journal, I know it’s not realistic. So I adjust my goals to make them specific and measurable. For example, I want to speed up my writing, so I use Excel to record my word count every day.
