The Way to Good Success
“This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.” (Joshua 1:8 WEB)
Early on in my journey as a believer, the Holy Spirit gave me a revelation from the verse above.
As I was reading it, He showed me that good success is a type of success that bring good to all areas of your life without any negative side effects.
For example, if you are single-minded in pursuing wealth, you will end up fatigued, unhealthy, age quickly, and miss out on important moments with family. This type of financial success is not considered “good success” because you gain in one area but lose greatly in other areas.
“For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come. This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.” (1 Timothy 4:8-9 WEB)
Receiving God’s word (specifically what is applicable for us under the New Covenant of Grace”) everyday has value in all things. It benefits you in the life now, and in the eternal age that is to come.
If you want good success, then you must meditate on God’s word and apply it in your life. This is the best use of your time because with one action, you cause all areas of your life to prosper and become fruitful.
The process is not complete without speaking forth the Word. The best would be if you can pray in tongues. Faith is believing and speaking so meditate and pray.
Instead of using a watering can to water one plant at a time, it is like you are pouring into an irrigation system that diverts the water to reach the whole garden!
“There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy on men: a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God gives him no power to eat of it, but an alien eats it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.” (Ecclesiastes 6:1-2 WEB)
I pray that you be wise so that you have the power to enjoy every good thing in your life. By ensuring that the garden of your life is well-watered with God’s word, you will possess the grace to eat the fruits from the harvest!
How do you read the four gospels in the light of the New Covenant of Grace? Which parts apply to you directly now, and which are just for your learning? In “Understand the Four Gospels Through the Lens of Grace”, I explain every parable, miracle, speech, and action of Jesus Christ based on the revelations received over the years. It will be an insightful read and I hope you glean many gems from it:

🎉🎉🎉#新媒體藝術家黃心健《 #輪迴》上集奪 #法國坎城影展最佳VR敘事大獎 ‼️
法國坎城影展市場展( Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes )於台灣時間2021年7月13日午夜於沉浸式虛擬場館MOR ( Museum of Other Reality)舉辦頒獎典禮並揭曉得獎名單,臺師大特聘教授、新媒體藝術家黃心健VR以最新力作《輪迴》上集(Samsara Ep.1)自16部精采的入圍作品中脫穎而出,一舉奪下本屆最佳VR敘事大獎( Best VR Story)殊榮。
《輪迴》上集是首部獲頒此重要獎項的台灣原生VR作品,台灣驚人的VR創作實力再度揚名國際!
黃心健在頒獎典禮上致詞:「首先,感謝坎城評審團的肯定與鼓勵,很榮幸能夠得到最佳VR敘事大獎。也感謝 國立臺灣師範大學 National Taiwan Normal University 、 文化內容策進院 Taiwan Creative Content Agency 與VR 體感劇院 VR FILM LAB 的全力支援,才能讓《輪迴》得以順利地製作完成。由衷感謝所有參與製作《輪迴》的幕前、幕後製作人員,一起讓來自於台灣精彩VR作品,再次讓世界看見。」
《輪迴》的劇情牽動著生態、科技、資源分配與戰爭等多元議題,是一段人類自核毀滅後逃離地球的故事。殘存的人類嘗試在無垠的星際中,尋找下一個可以賴以生存的新星球,並以人工方式進化成一種新的生命體。但許多年過去了,人們漸漸發現其實自己永遠到不了夢想中的全新星球,他們只不過是在另一個時代,以不同的生命形式,一遍遍地返回地球。黃心健藉此反思深刻反思生命哲理,並應用了所謂「具身認知」的抽象概念,以此讓觀眾轉換到不同的肉體中,進而以全新的視角來體驗《輪迴》上集片中的世界觀。
作為全球最受矚目的影展項目之一,法國坎城影展市場展為一向是全球影人不容錯過的影壇趨勢指標。而今年度為減緩疫情衝擊,Cannes XR 單元與 VR 線上內容平台 VeeR 攜手合作,特別在虛擬場館 MOR中打造大型的影展會場。活動展間的呈現方式非常活潑豐富,坎城團隊打破了現實世界中音訊、材料與硬體限制,以超現實的效果來為全世界的觀眾提供最為華麗的展場體驗,從觀影、走紅毯、入座到致詞,與會者皆透過VR頭顯連線參與頒獎典禮,黃心健尤其驚豔於主辦單位為他打造的專區。以創新的虛擬形式舉辦典禮,也正契合了VR作為影界新猷的開創性。
《輪迴》上集繼三月榮獲美國西南偏南影展( #SXSW)「虛擬劇場」項目最大獎殊榮「評審團獎」後,再度斬獲國際影展肯定,再次證明了台灣深厚的VR創作實力!完整版《輪迴》預計將於今年九月起展開全球影系列巡演,並將在今年10月回到台灣高雄,作為亞洲首映展出。欲一睹風采的台灣的影迷敬請期待!
🎉Taiwan's VR artist Hsin-Chien Huang Wins the Best VR Story Awards of Cannes XR‼️
The awards ceremony of Le Marché du Film will be held at midnight of July 13, 2021, at the Museum of Other Reality. The latest VR production by Distinguished Professor of NTNU, artist Hsin-Chien Huang, has been riding high among the other 16 nominated productions and bring home the prestigious "Best VR Story" award. " #Samsara Ep. 1" is the first native VR production from Taiwan to receive such honor and has once again put Taiwan on the map!
In the acceptance speech, Huang first mentioned that he would like to thank the jury for the recognition and encouragement. It was a great honor for him personally to win this award. He'd also like to thank the full support from NTNU, Taiwan Creative Content Agency and the VR FILM LAB of Kaohsiung Film Archive for making the production happen. Finally, he thanked all the crew members for showing the world how amazing the VR production from Taiwan.
The plot involves many different social issues, including ecology, technology, natural resource, and war. It's about a journey for humans after destroying the Earth with nukes. The survivors seek a new planet to carry on their lives in the limitless interstellar space, gradually evolve into a new life form artificially. Yet, after so many years, they have come to realize that they would never make it to the new planet that they have been dreaming of. They have been simply returning to the Earth in different life forms time after time. Huang uses the story to reflect on the philosophy of life and applies the concept of "embodied cognition" to teleport audiences to different bodies and experience the worldview of "Samsara" via a new perspective.
As one of the most famous film festivals globally, the Cannes Film Festival has always been a trial balloon for filmmakers around the globe. This year, to lower the impact of the pandemic, the Cannes XR has built a unique venue in the MOR (Museum of Ohter Reality) with VeeR VR , an online platform for virtual content, offering various exhibitions during the event. The team has broken down the barriers across materials, audio, and hardware, in reality, using surreal effects to provide the most magnificent viewing experience. From screening, walking on the red carpet, being seated to giving speeches, all the details are not left out through the VR headsets. Huang is especially impressed by the special area built for him by the host team. The ceremony is presented virtually innovatively, resonating with the groundbreaking feature in the VR film industry.
After winning the top award of the SXSW, "Jury Awards", "Samsara" has yet again captured the attention of another international film festival, testifying the profound and vibrant creativity of VR from Taiwan. The full version of "Samsara: will start its tour in September this year and come back to host its Asian premiere in Kaohsiung in October.

Chloé Zhao and ‘Nomadland’ Win at 2021 Oscars
趙婷獲奧斯卡最佳導演獎,《遊牧人生》獲最佳影片
Good news is always welcome 🎉🎉🎉
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“Nomadland” was named best picture and Chloé Zhao won best director at Sunday night’s sleepy and surreal 93rd Academy Awards, a stage show broadcast on television about films mostly distributed on the internet.
🎬 sleepy 寂靜的;冷清的 ; 倦睏的,打瞌睡的*
🎬 surreal 離奇的;超現實的;夢幻般的
洛杉磯——週日,在無甚亮點又相當魔幻的第93屆奧斯卡頒獎禮上,《遊牧人生》(Nomadland)獲得最佳影片獎,趙婷拿下最佳導演獎。包括在這場直播舞台秀裡的大部分影片都是在網上發行的。
*sleepy: https://bit.ly/3nlwipv
★★★★★★★★★★★★
In a major upset, Anthony Hopkins was honored as best actor for “The Father,” beating out the late Chadwick Boseman (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”), who was the favorite going into the night. Frances McDormand was named best actress for “Nomadland.”
🎬 a major upset 爆冷門
🎬 the favorite 最被看好的
安東尼·霍普金斯(Anthony Hopkins)憑藉《困在時間裡的父親》(The Father)擊敗了已故的乍得維克·博斯曼([Chadwick Boseman],《藍調天后》[Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom])獲得最佳男主角,後者原本是當晚最被看好的人選。《遊牧人生》的弗朗西絲·麥克多曼德(Frances McDormand)獲得了最佳女主角。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Daniel Kaluuya was recognized as best supporting actor for playing the Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in “Judas and the Black Messiah.” “Bro, we out here!” Kaluuya shouted in joy before changing gears and crediting Hampton (“what a man, what a man”) and ending with the cri de coeur, “When they played divide and conquer, we say unite and ascend.”
🎬 best supporting actor 最佳配角
🎬 shift/change gear(s) 改變方法 ; 換個方式 ; 改變調子
🎬 play divide and conquer 玩起各個擊破
🎬 unite and ascend 團結和進步 ; ascend 上升 ; 登上
丹尼爾·卡盧亞(Daniel Kaluuya)憑藉在《猶大與黑彌賽亞》(Judas and the Black Messiah)中扮演黑豹黨領袖弗雷德·漢普頓(Fred Hampton)拿下最佳男配角。「兄弟,我們來了!」卡盧亞興高采烈地叫道,隨後他換了語氣,稱讚了漢普頓(「多麼了不起的人啊,多麼了不起」),並以一段有力呼籲結束了發言:「當他們玩起各個擊破那一套,我們就要講團結和進步。」
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The supporting actress award went to Yuh-Jung Youn for playing a comically cantankerous grandmother in “Minari.” She was the first Korean performer to win an acting Oscar, and only the second Asian woman; the first was Miyoshi Umeki, a Japanese-born American actress who was recognized in 1958 for playing a bride who encounters racism in “Sayonara.”
🎬 cantankerous 愛爭吵且抱怨不休的
🎬 encounters racism 遭遇種族歧視
在《米納裡》(Minari)中飾演了一位滑稽而古怪的祖母的尹汝貞(Yuh-Jung Youn)拿下最佳女配角。她是首位獲得奧斯卡表演獎的韓國演員,也是第二位獲得此獎的亞裔女性;第一位是日裔美籍女演員梅木三吉,1958年,她憑藉在《櫻花戀》(Sayonara)中扮演遭遇種族歧視的新娘獲得此獎。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Zhao won best director for “Nomadland,” a bittersweet meditation on grief and the damaged American dream. Zhao, who is Chinese, became only the second woman, and the first woman of color, to win the award. (Kathryn Bigelow was celebrated in 2010 for directing “The Hurt Locker.”)
🎬 bittersweet 苦中有樂的
🎬 woman of color 有色人種女性
趙婷憑藉《遊牧人生》拿下最佳導演獎,該片是對悲傷和破滅的美國夢的一次苦樂參半的沉思。作為華人的趙婷成為第二位獲得該獎的女性,也是第一位獲獎的有色人種女性。(2010年,執導《拆彈部隊》[The Hurt Locker]的凱瑟琳·畢格羅[Kathryn Bigelow]獲得此獎。)
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“I’ve been thinking a lot lately of how I keep going when things get hard,” she said in her acceptance speech, referring to a Chinese poem she used to read with her father that began with the phrase “People at birth are entirely good.”
🎬 acceptance speech 獲獎致辭/演講
「近來我常在思考,是什麼支撐我在困境中堅持下來,」她在獲獎致辭中說,她引用了與父親一起讀過的中國詩歌,其開頭就是「人之初,性本善」。
★★★★★★★★★★★★

speech of acceptance 在 pennyccw Youtube 的最佳解答
Because there rarely is anything simple about Allen Iverson, it took conversations -- maybe even debate -- then an important decision. Next, it will require two votes. Both should go his way. But, again, Allen Iverson? Anything but simple.
He is now eligible to be nominated for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. To say Iverson, should he be elected as expected, will be the headliner for the Class of 2016 is obvious. With his popularity among fans and the anticipation of an epic acceptance speech at the induction ceremony, AI would be the headliner most any year. (In his acceptance speech Friday night, 2015 inductee Dikembe Mutombo acknowledged Iverson's likely spot in the Hall, thanking former 76ers coach Larry Brown for "allowing me to play with Allen Iverson, who will stand here soon in Springfield.")
The calendar distinction is necessary, though, because the finish to his career was as unique as Iverson himself. Had 2009-10 with the 76ers been his final season, the path to enshrinement would have been straight and level. Wait the mandatory five seasons, be nominated in 2015 and be part of the voting cycle that culminates in ascending the steps of Symphony Hall in the summer of '16.
Iverson's decision to play in Turkey in 2010-11 was the complication. That could have pushed induction back until 2017 -- the same year that Shaquille O'Neal is eligible to enter the Hall -- or even longer if Iverson had fulfilled both seasons of the deal with Istanbul-based Besiktas. When Iverson's European career lasted all of 10 games, officials were handed a judgment call.
After years of no decision, it was finally decided that 10 games -- especially 10 games on a different continent -- were nothing more than a brief moonlighting opportunity for a candidate whose nomination would go through the North American committee. Iverson can be nominated in 2015, not 2016, and could be a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2016, not 2017.
It worked out well for Iverson, by many accounts in need of good news in his life, and for the basketball museum in western Massachusetts. AI, assuming he is nominated, will be the only new big name with a strong NBA connection in the election cycle. He would be the star power to draw national attention and sell tickets next summer while Tim Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Chris Webber and others hope the lack of obvious candidates from the North American committee creates a fresh opportunity for enshrinement. (It worked this year, with Mutombo the lone newcomer elected as Jo Jo White was inducted after retiring in 1981 and Spencer Haywood in 1983.)
"It's not a marketing decision," Hall president John Doleva said. "It is a playing decision. It's a decision by the voting committee. It definitely is not a marketing decision."
It's also not the only decision. The same panel must next decide on the timeline for Rasheed Wallace, whose situation is even more complicated that Iverson's. Wallace retired after 2009-10, which ordinarily would make him eligible for nomination in 2015 and induction in 2016, and stayed retired for two full seasons. Then he came back with the Knicks in 2012-13 -- for 21 games.
Iverson played 10 games, Wallace a quarter of a season. Iverson was in Europe, Wallace the NBA.
"That is a little grayer, for sure, because of the NBA aspect of it, frankly trying to make a comeback," Doleva said. "That is something the group will have to take a look at. ... There's a discretion about such things as just these issues. What's the impact of it? What kind of commitment should a person be held to if they've done something overseas for a short period of time and not made a season of it. Rasheed Wallace is an interesting question that we will be addressing."

Neil Patrick Harris, Anna Kendrick and Jack Black perform the opening number "Moving Pictures" at the 2015 #Oscars!
How do you make a great opening number for the Oscars? Get a bunch of Broadway talent to do it.
The production number, "Moving Pictures," sung by Tony-winning Academy Awards host Neil Patrick Harris and "Into the Woods" star Anna Kendrick, was written by Academy Award-winning "Frozen" songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.
The visuals edited Harris into classic films from "The Wizard of Oz" to "Star Wars" to "Into the Woods."
The middle section of the song, as sung by Jack Black, aped Stephen Sondheim's "Witch's Rap" from Into the Woods, and he warned Harris that he would be “better off polishing your Tony." Kendrick drove him off by yelling “Beat it” and flinging her Cinderella shoe at him.
Lyrics:
[Neil Patrick Harris]
Wow, check out this place. Check out everything.
Check out the glamour, the glitter, people Tweeting on the Twitter
and no one's drunk and bitter yet 'cause no one has lost.
Look at the diamonds, the dresses, people going to excesses,
the stress is on and everybody's fingers are crossed.
I know the camera's on and we're behaving our best.
Yet, I secretly hope someone pulls a Kanye West.
But we are here tonight, with our Xanax and Dior,
thank you lists and publicists who fought the Oscar war.
Tonight we toast what we love most
and I am thrilled to be your host.
'Cause all of it is for moving pictures, shadows and light,
like a magic trick done in plain sight.
Why do we love them? Why do we care?
When they're just moving pictures that aren't really there
But then I think of Chaplin and Monroe
and Argo and Fargo or when Marty made his car go
back in time at the mall
And then there's Bardot and Brando and Billy Dee as Lando
or when Sharon went commando and unsettled us all.
I gasped when Indy goes back for his hat
or when I think of all the tension between Ben and Matt.
[pause] Oh, my stars
I love transformers that transform and perfect storms that storm.
small town girls who change the world by challenging the norm
Godfather 2, the movie Clue
all these films that inspired you to stand up and perform.
Moving pictures, take us over the rainbow
across the fields of our dreams.
In the heat of the night to defeat and to fight evil schemes.
To swim or to swing, to dance or to sing,
to flee down a flight in fright,
yes, moving pictures are coming to life tonight.
[Anna Kendrick joins]
Moving pictures.
[Kendrick]
Where is my shoe?
[Harris]
Is this your Jimmy Choo?
[Kendrick]
Why yes.
[Both]
Moving pictures
[Harris]
and how they can move you.
[Kendrick]
And also improve you.
[Harris]
The joy of pretending,
[Kendrick]
With such happy endings except for in Gone Girl when that lady slit your throat.
[Harris]
Spoiler alert.
[Both]
Moving pictures...
[Jack Black]
Stop!
This is what you sound like:
'Movies, movies wow they rock'
Listen kid, it's all a big crock.
Now it's market trends
and fickle friends
and Hollywood baloney.
Believe me Neil,
you're better off just polishing your Tony
This industry's in flux,
it's run by mucky-mucks,
pitching tents for tentpoles and chasing Chinese bucks.
Opening with lots of zeroes,
all we get is superheroes.
Superman, Spider Man, Batman,
Jedi man, sequel man, prequel man.
Formulaic scripts!
And after 50 Shade of Grey, they'll all have leather whips.
In a world where our breeds are becoming machines,
the only screens we're watching are the screens in our jeans
Screens in our jeans Screens in our jeans
The only screens we're watching...
[Harris]
JACK! I'm trying to...I'm kinda in the...Would you mind?
[Black]
But you know?
[Kendrick]
BEAT IT.
[Black]
Fine.
[Harris]
Yes, green-lit films can stall
[Kendrick]
Scripts can hit a wall
[Harris]
Stars may pass
[Kendrick]
Or fire your ass
[Harris]
And weekly grosses fall.
But when they hit, you must admit,
they sometimes change your view of it
in ways both big and small
[Kendrick]
Have a ball
Moving pictures, millions of pixels on screens.
They may not be real life,
but they'll show you what life really means.
More than any one image.
More than any one star.
Truly, moving pictures shape who we are
whether we're big brained and British
Or hiking and skittish
a legendary leader
a Birdman in a theater
a boy we watch until he's grown
a sniper in a combat zone
a wealthy philanthropic creep
Magic Meryl Effin' Streep
Lobby boys and bleeding drummers
All these awesome up and comers
Who will get a statue? Results are coming at you!
At the 87th Oscars moving picture show!
