Strong First 每當有新的文章,都會寄信件通知我們這些會員,這真的很貼心
最近一篇最新的文章“More Mass with Minimal Gear”是談到,因為疫情美國封城的關係,大部分的人只能用自身體重,加上HIIT來訓練自己,可以想到的動作不外乎就是雙槓撐體、伏地挺身和引體向上來訓練肌肥大
文章中他們解釋了何謂肌肥大、訓練建議以及如何觸發肌肥大,最後用訓練計畫做結尾,以下是我整理文章重點內容,雖然有一些觀點,飛教練認為或許還需要討論但是整體我認為很不錯耶,所以想說跟大家分享一下(如果有解釋不到位的地方還請跟告訴我喔🙇♂️)
————————————————————
什麼是肌肥大呢??
當我們想到肌肥大你一定會想到的就是給肌肉的張力,張力能夠刺激我的肌肉內蛋白的合成,張力越大,蛋白的合成就會越多,因為肌肉細胞感覺到肌肉纖維正在發生損傷,就好像快要發炎了一樣
以下有三點是影響肌肉纖維最大張力的因素:
1.強度
2.訓練量
3.有沒有正確讓目標肌群受力
基於以上幾個要點,這邊也列出了五個能讓肌肥大最大化的方式
1.機械損傷式的肌肥大(注重離心或是刻意讓肌肉承受張力的時間拉長)
2.肌漿式肥大(由細胞內液組成的肌漿的大小增加)
3.代謝壓力式的肌肥大(透過接近力竭的長時間肌肉收縮刺激肌肉內產生變化)
4.神經內分泌肌肥大(高強度訓練產生的睾酮和生長激素等激素,為肥大提供了有利的環境)
5.肌肥大張力的量(這邊是指“一組”訓練中所花費的時間,不是訓練總量用公斤數去計算的那種)
但是要注意的是,如果訓練的強度不夠,在訓練內所維持張力的時間將會沒有意義,在不同的強度或是給肌肉不同刺激的目的下,所安排的訓練菜單也會有所不同
⏱訓練方式是以2 0 1 1這樣的節奏來訓練
2011意思就是說 離心2秒,等長收縮(肌肉在被拉到最長的位置時)0秒,向心收縮1秒,頂峰收縮1秒,所以總共花費4秒
💪代謝壓力的訓練方式
以引體向上為例 你可以試試看4*5 (4組5下),5RM,五下先做完力竭,然後馬上降重量,再做五下5RM的重量,再降重量,再做五下5RM的重量,每一組由三個小組所組成,然後每一個組,都是使用前面所說2011的節奏方式執行,所以一組會花大約60秒
🏋️♀️神經內分泌肌肥大
8*3 (8組3下)5RM
用2011的節奏執行,所以每一組大約是12秒
肌肉肥大應該要如何觸發呢??
我們上面有討論過,主要還是透過一些機械張力,讓肌肉有一些機械損傷
然而肌肥大也是有三種不同肥大的方式 (括弧內是飛教練自己加的)
1.肌漿肥大 (健美式的訓練,外觀大於功能)
2.肌原纖維肥大(運動員比較注重的肥大方式,也就是功能性肌肥大)
3.Myonuclei domain hypertrophy(肌肉細胞核區域肥大?這邊不確定是不是這樣翻譯,有上網稍微找一下,好像是說肌肉內細胞核的數量與肌肥大的程度成正比)
總結一下這篇文章的重點,肌肉肥大最主要就是要有足夠的強度、善用離心訓練、適度的機械損傷刺激和適度的疲勞,讓蛋白質有更好合成的效率

【玳瑚師父課室】《第二十七場餐會回顧 - 桃花舞春風》
27th LEARNING SESSION RECAP: PEACH BLOSSOM LUCK IN PERSONAL MAGNETIZATION (English version below)
玳瑚師父於2017年4月11日,舉辦了第二十七場餐會《桃花舞春風》,教導創業者如何盆滿鉢滿,領薪的朋友們如何能得到老闆的栽培,同事的擁戴否,以及其他人生的領域,都可以有所展獲。
一開始,玳瑚師父問一位出席者是否知道,哪三種行業不能做?
師父接著說,殺生業、娼妓業和賭業。
那位小姐所做的兼職生意,正是飲食業。師父說,舉凡殺害六道眾生生命的,都是殺生,從事這些行業,造業至深,不但會連累祖先,還會牽連自己和家人,及下一代。
師父敘述了殺生的因果後,善勸那位小姐,應當改行,及勤唸《往生咒》迴向給所殺過的畜靈。就算這些畜靈不是她親手殺,但也是爲她而死,因此仍脫離不了殺生的過失。
初次見面,這位小姐送了一束花給玳瑚師父爲見面禮。師父現場將花變化供養給佛菩薩,並解說我們供花的種種功德,和自身桃花運的關係。
餐會精彩回顧:
一、出席者說話方式,很僵硬。師父提醒她,當晚的主題是桃花,說話不要像機器人。
二、保護嗓音和我們的命運有何祕密關係?
三、沒有桃花,做什麼都很難。
四、一個人的桃花在哪裡?
五、飲食沒有根據自己的八字所需,所以:
- 老闆罵妳你,
- 股票虧錢,
- 客人投訴妳你,等等。
六、我們從事與我們八字對立的行業,祇會讓自己很辛苦。
七、不是所有的人是人來轉世,有些是動物來投胎。
八、師父慈悲提點出席者的先生,要注意的病變。
九、師父請所有的出席者說出,什麼是桃花?
何小姐:「桃花,是一種吸引力。」
李小姐:「桃花,是一種能吸引人的愛戴和支持的力量。」
廖小姐:「桃花,是讓人想親近你的力量。」
十、師父解說何爲桃花,並提到一個八字如果有這個五行偏多,說話會比較唐突。
十一、我們身體的哪一部份,是桃花的關鍵?
十二、女人化妝,對桃花有怎樣的幫助?
十三、行善對自身的桃花運,有怎樣的影響?
十四、雨點積多,可成大江大海,小石積多,便可成高山。因此,小善也要多做,因爲積少成多,便成大善。
十五、爲什麼有些人,一輩子都是僕人的命?
十六、師父提醒出席者們,要記得向服務生道謝。一句謝謝很重要,說了妳你也沒有少什麼。但不說,就顯示妳你的涵養、素養、教養和學養皆修不好。
十七、我們是人,不是動物,所以一定要有人應該有的禮儀。
十八、我們若沒意思,就不要隨隨便便讓別人喜歡上我們,這樣會帶痛苦給她他人,非善也。
十九、玳瑚師父注意到,現場唯有一位出席者勤寫筆記,便說:「我喜歡教大學生,因爲他們會思考,會寫筆記,祇是有時,知識過高,低估了玄學的厲害。」
廿、學歷高低也好,人窮志不能窮。
廿一、桃花也來自於好心情,師父推薦大家要多吃這三種食物,可以保持心情愉悅。
廿二、玳瑚師父現場,詳細分析出席者們的桃花樣,及依據她們的八字和面相,給於增強自身桃花的巧妙方法。
廿三、某位小姐的性格倔強,師父提醒她:我們要永遠精進不懈,而不是一味的固執己見,才能有更好的命運。
廿四、周杰倫PK王力宏,爲何是周杰倫比較紅?他如何能從前世帶來如此大的桃花?
廿五、我們如果入錯行,會遇到老闆從來都不欣賞我們,我們的身心都會受影響。
脾氣代表火,因此佛教有句話,火燒功德林。功德很難修,但毀掉卻不費吹灰之力。我們要常常檢討自己哪裡做的不足,然後就去改善。不要因爲有人批評,就生氣。這樣不是行大桃花運的辦法。
改善,是爲了明天能更好。不好的,該放就放,碎碎「怨」,猶如抱著一顆定時炸彈,隨時都在毀壞自己的運。
每一個人,都要多微笑,大力地綻放桃花出來。我們修行就是要斷執著,但妳你要求別人要對妳你好,要給妳你好,妳你要先問自己,妳你能不能也做得到?要不然,妳你不但會把貴人桃花都嚇跑,自己還會折了福而不自知。
餐會結束後,師父爲出席者簽書,加持其數珠,並教導她們使用數珠的正確方法。一切吉祥如意圓滿。
On 11th April 2017, Master Dai Hu held his 27th session with the theme "Peach Blossoms Dancing In The Wind - Strengthen Your Personal Magnetization", teaching entrepreneurs the ways to more profits, and salaried staff the methods to attracting supportive bosses and colleagues, as well as how to excel in over areas of life.
At the start of the session, Master Dai Hu asked the participants if they know the 3 occupations to avoid.
He then went to talk about the occupations of killing, prostitution and gambling.
Indeed, one lady participant has a side business in the food industry. Master said taking the lives of any living being in the six realms of existence is killing, sowing a seed of heavy negative karma. This sin will implicate your ancestors, bring harm to you and your family, as well as your descendants.
Master explained the karma of killing, and advised the participant to quit the food business, as well as chanting the Mantra for Rebirth to Pureland and dedicate its merits to all animals killed by her. Even if these animals were not killed by her personally, they died for her, so the wrongdoing of killing is still there.
This participant presented a bouquet of flower to Master as a first-time meeting gift. Master made an offering to the Buddha's and Bodhisattvas on the spot, explained to all the merits of flower offerings and how it can positively affect our Peach Blossom luck.
Learning Session Highlights:
1. One participant spoke in a very stiff manner. Master Dai Hu advised her not to speak like a robot, since the theme that day was on Peach Blossom Luck of Personal Magnetization.
2. Protecting our voice has an intricate link to our destiny.
3. It is hard to accomplish anything without Peach Blossom luck.
4. Where is one's Peach Blossom luck?
5. The wrong food consumption based on your Bazi will result in:
Frequent scoldings by your boss
Losses in the stock market
Complaints from customers, etc.
6. We will only suffer if we embark on a career that is against what our Bazi needs.
7. Not all humans are born in the human realm in their past lives. Some were animals in their previous lives.
8. Master Dai Hu, out of compassion, highlighted to a participant how her husband needed to watch out for changes in his health.
9. Master Dai Hu invited all participants to tell him, what did they think Peach Blossom Luck is?
Ms Ho : It is a form of attraction.
Miss Lee: It is the power that elicits support and love from other people.
Ms Liao : It is a power that makes others want to be closer to you.
10. Master Dai Hu explained the true meaning of Peach Blossom Luck, and mentioned that a person will speak in an abrupt manner if there's excessive of THIS element in the Bazi.
11. Which of our body feature plays the most important part in our Peach Blossom luck?
12. How can cosmetics help in your Peach Blossom luck?
13. How does doing kind deeds influence your Peach Blossom luck?
14. Drops of rain, when collected, will form the rivers and the seas. Small stones, when gathered, will form mountains. Therefore, small deeds of kindness can accumulate into a huge meritorious deed.
15. Why do some people become a servant or maid for life?
16. Master Dai Hu reminded the participants to thank the service staff. A word of thank-you is important. It does not cost a thing to you but not saying it shows that you lack manners, culture, etiquette and knowledge.
17. We are humans, not animals. Therefore we must behave with etiquette, that is becoming of a human.
18. We should not lead another person to fall in love with us, if we are not interested in him/her in the first place, as this will bring suffering to the other person. That is definitely not a virtuous act.
19. Master Dai Hu noticed that only one participant took notes, and said that he liked to teach people who were graduates because of their willingness to think and take notes. The only shortcoming, due to their high qualifications, is their tendency to underestimate the power of Metaphysics.
20. Regardless of your academic qualification and wealth status, never fall short on your aspirations.
21. You will enjoy Peach Blossom luck when you are in high spirits. Master Dai Hu recommended 3 types of food to maintain our happy state of mind.
22. Master Dai Hu did a live analysis of the Peach Blossom luck of each participant, according to their Bazi and facial features, and advised them the ways of strengthening it.
23. One lady participant has a stubborn character. Master Dai Hu advised her to quit her obstinate ways and strive towards a better destiny.
24. Jay Chou vs Wang Lee Hom. Why is Jay Chou more popular? How did he accumulate so much Peach Blossom Luck from his previous life?
25. When we are in the wrong career, we will be have unappreciative bosses and our well-being will be affected.
A fiery temper, as the name implies, has a fire element. Thus the common phrase in Buddhism: The fire destroys your forest of merits. It is extremely hard to cultivate merits but effortless to destroy them. We must always reflect on our lack, and do our best to rectify. Do not get angry and emotional if someone criticises you. This is not the way to enjoy great Peach Blossom luck.
To change for the better is to strive for a better tomorrow. Let go of all that is not beneficial for you. Constant grumbling and complaining is like hugging a time bomb. It will destroy your fortunes anytime.
Everyone should smile more, to exude more affability. The aim of our spiritual cultivation is to sever all attachments. If you want people to treat you well, ask yourself if you can do that to others in the first place. If not, you are just going to chase away your benefactors and destroy your own merits unknowingly.
At the end of session, Master Dai Hu fulfilled the wishes of the participants by autographing his book, blessing the chanting beads of a participant, and teaching them the proper usage of the beads. The session ended on an auspicious note.

「約翰走路:走遍世界的男人」
You’ve probably seen one of these, a LEGO brick, but have you ever wondered how would it all started, and why is it called LEGO? Actually, the name is much older than this plastic brick. Are you curious? Let me tell you how it all began.
你可能看過這其中之一,一塊樂高積木,但你有沒有想過這一切是如何開始的,以及它為什麼叫樂高嘛?事實上,這名字比這塊塑膠積木老得多了。好奇嗎?讓我告訴你這一切如何開始的。
Many years ago, there was a skilled and hardworking carpenter named, Ole Kirk Christiansen. Ole was a respected carpenter with his own company. But times were hard, so he didn’t have much money and had to dismiss his last worker.
許多年以前,有位技術高超、工作勤奮的木匠,他的名字是Ole Kirk Christiansen。Ole是名受人尊敬的木匠,並擁有自己的公司。但日子很困苦,所以他沒有太多錢,還必須解雇最後一名員工。
“Come on in.”
“ I’ve closed down the workshop and packed my thing.”
“Heh, thank you!”
“I suppose I’d better write you a paycheck.”
“Take care!”
「進來吧。」
「我已經關了木作工坊,也打包了我的東西。」
「啊,謝謝你!」
「我想我最好寫張薪水支票給你。」
「保重!」
“Well, that was the last one. I just didn’t imagine that it would come to this.”
“I know. It’s hard to understand, but at least now it can’t get much worse.”
「嗯,這是最後一名員工。只是我沒有想像會演變成這樣。」
「我知道。很難預料到,但至少不會再更糟了。」
But it did get worse. Shortly after, Ole lost his wife. But Ole was a special person. He wasn’t the type that gave up. And with the responsibility of his four sons, he had to think of something. Ole had gotten an idea. And for him, it never took long to put an idea into action. Ole’s little invention made his boys so happy that he thought maybe he should start making toys. Ole decided to give it a try. Luckily, he had saved up a lot of wood from the carpentry production. He can now use it to make toys.
但事情確實更糟了。不久後,Ole失去了他的妻子。但Ole是個特別的人。他不是那種會放棄的人。為了要對四個兒子負起責任,他必須要想些辦法。Ole想到了個點子。而且對他來說,要將點子付諸行動從來不需花太多時間。Ole的小發明讓他的兒子們非常開心,所以他想也許他應該開始做玩具。Ole決定要試一試。幸運的是,他曾儲存了許多製作木器用的木料。他現在可以用這些來做玩具。
Time passed by, and even though Ole was a skilled carpenter and had a good eye for quality and detail, sales were very slow. Luckily, one of his sons, Godtfrey, started helping out his dad after school. Together, they just barely managed to keep up the production. Eventually, word began to spread that wooden toys of the finest quality were being made in a little workshop in Billund.
時光流逝,而且即使Ole是名技術高超的木匠,並對品質及細節有好眼光,銷售還是非常緩慢。幸運地,他其中一個兒子Godtfrey開始在放學之後幫助他的父親。他倆一起還是只能勉強維持產量。最後,開始口耳相傳在Billund有間小木作工坊生產品質最好的木製玩具。
One day, a man drove into town — a man who would change Ole’s future. He was a wholesaler from Frederitia.
有一天,一名男子開車到城裡來–一個將會改變Ole未來的男人。他是從Frederitia來的批發商。
“I’ve heard that you’re making some very nice wooden toys.”
「我聽說你生產非常精美的木製玩具。」
“Well, one does his best.”
「這個嘛,竭盡我所能囉。」
The wholesaler was very impressed with all the wooden toys and placed a big order before he left.
這批發商對所有木製玩具印象非常深刻,並在離開前開出一筆大訂單。
“Now there’s finally someone who can see the opportunities and what we are doing.”
“Look at this. The wholesaler wants to put a lot of our toys into his store for the holidays.”
“It’s going to be a good Christmas this year, but we’ll be busy.”
「現在終於有個人看到這些機會、看到我們在做的事。」
「看這個。那個批發商想在假期期間在他的店裡放上很多我們的玩具。」
「今年的聖誕節會很好過,但我們會很忙。」
Now, there was a lot to do in the little workshop. And Ole could rehire his former workers. Ole only used the highest quality wood, which was hand-picked and very carefully prepared. They worked day and night to get the order finished, so the wholesaler could get the toys out in stores before Christmas.
現在這間小木作工坊有許多事要忙。而且Ole可以重新聘僱他以前的員工。Ole只用最高品質的木頭,這些木頭都是親手挑選的,並經過非常細心的準備。他們日以繼夜地工作以完成訂單,以能讓那位批發商能在聖誕節以前將這些玩具放到店裡。
“Is there something wrong, Dad?”
“I’m afraid that we’re… in big trouble.”
「發生什麼事了嗎?爸爸?」
「恐怕我們…有大麻煩了」
In the middle of their work, Ole received a letter saying that the wholesaler had filed for bankruptcy, and couldn’t buy the toys that he had ordered.
在他們工作進行到一半時,Ole收到一封信,上面寫著那名批發商已申請破產,不能買下他之前訂的玩具。
“But what are you gonna do? What about Christmas? Now we can’t even afford food?”
“I’ll do it.”
“What are you gonna do, Dad?”
“I’ll do it myself. I’ll drive around selling the toys.”
「但你要怎麼做?聖誕節怎麼辦?現在我們甚至買不起食物?」
「我會做。」
「你要怎麼做?爸爸?」
「我自己做。我會開車兜售這些玩具。」
There was no time to lose. Ole packed the car with all the toys and drove off. Ole was a very good toy-maker but was not a very good salesman. He didn’t like praising himself or talking about how carefully the toys have been made, but he had to keep trying if he is going to sell anything.
沒有時間浪費了。Ole將所有玩具裝進車裡,並開車離開。Ole是名很優秀的玩具製造者,但卻不是位優秀的銷售員。他不喜歡吹捧自己,或說這些玩具是如何細心地製作出來的,但如果想賣出任何東西,他就必須要繼續嘗試。
“This is going to be a blast. Is there anything you are interested in?”
“It looks exciting, but I don’t have a lot of money right now. Maybe we could trade in and call it even.”
“Well, I would prefer money, but…”
「這會造成轟動的。有任何你感興趣的東西嗎?」
「這看起來很振奮人心,但我現在沒有很多錢。也許我們能以物易物然後扯平。」
「這個嘛,我比較想收錢,但…」
In the end, he succeeded in selling all the toys. He didn’t receive as much money as he had hoped. But the family managed, and they had plenty of food for Christmas. Time passed by, but the toys didn’t sell as quickly as they had expected. Ole thought perhaps the company needed a good name.
最後,他成功地賣出所有玩具。他收到的錢並沒有他期望中的多。但家計得以維持,他們也有許多食物過聖誕節。時光流逝,但玩具賣得並不如預期般的快。Ole想,也許公司需要一個好名字。
“What should it be? It has to be a short word. I wanted to convey ‘playing well’.”
「應該叫什麼?它必須要是個簡短的字。我想要傳達『好好地玩』。」
In Danish, “playing well” is called “LEG GODT”.
丹麥文中「好好地玩」叫做「LEG GODT」。
“What should it be? What should it be? Yeah… If only I could get some sort of a sign…”
“LEGO.”
「要叫什麼?要叫什麼呢?對啊…如果我能有個像招牌的東西的話…」
「LEGO(樂高)」
As you can see, Ole himself ended up finding a very suitable name. But what he didn’t know was that in Latin, the word “LEGO” means “I put together”. The name “LEGO” was well received. And the company slowly started to move forward.
你可以看到,Ole最後幫自己找了個非常適合的名字。但他不知道的是,在拉丁文中,「LEGO」這個字的意思是「我組在一起」。「樂高」這個名字的接受度很高。而且公司開始慢慢地向前進。
“We have made 3,000 Krones this year. And we have more orders than usual.”
“Did you say 3,000 Krones? Huh, then you need to see what I’ve been looking at.”
“We have made 3,000 Krones this year. And we have more orders than usual.”
“Did you say 3,000 Krones? Huh, then you need to see what I’ve been looking at.”
「我們今年賺了3,000克朗(丹麥、挪威貨幣單位)。而且我們接到比平常更多的訂單。」
「你是說3,000克朗嗎?哈,那你應該要看看我已經看了好一陣子的東西。」
Even though Godtfred wasn’t comfortable spending money on a milling machine, he could see that it was useful, and that the quality of the toys improved.
即便Godtfred對於花錢買刻磨機感到很不舒服,他還是知道那很有用,而且也改善了玩具的品質。
“Could you finish the last batch and get it ready for shipping?”
“I will.”
“Dad…. dad, I saved a lot of money for the company today.”
“Really!? How?”
“I figured we could save money in the lacquer. Just like only coated the ducks twice instead of three times.”
“You What?”
「你可以完成最後一批並準備好裝運嗎?」
「我會的。」
「爸…爸,我今天為公司省下了很多錢。」
「真的嗎?怎麼做的?」
「我想到我們可以省下亮光漆的錢。像是在鴨子上只塗上兩層,而不是三層。」
「你做了什麼?」
Unfortunately, Godtfred’s idea didn’t go over well with Ole. Ole made Godtfred unpack all the ducks himself, give them the last layer of lacquer and bring them back to the train station. Ole believed in high quality and not cheating his customers. When Godtfred returned, Ole explained that that wasn’t the way to create a good brand. This little lesson opened Godtfred’s eyes to the fact that every detail matters and only the best is good enough.
不幸的是,Godtfred的主意並沒有過Ole那關。Ole要Godtfred自己從箱子取出那些鴨子,塗上最後一層亮光漆,並將它們運回火車站。Ole相信高品質,以及不能欺騙他的顧客們。當Godtfred回去時,Ole解釋那不是個創造好品牌的方式。這小小的一課打開了Godtfred的眼界,讓他知道每個細節都很重要,而且只有做到最好才算夠好。
In the late 1930s, LEGO was making a profit, even when The Second World War broke out. They tried to make the best out of a difficult time. It seemed nothing could go wrong. But a stormy night in 1942 changed their luck.
在1930年代後期,樂高開始賺錢,甚至第二次世界大戰爆發時也有盈利。他們試著充分利用這艱鉅的時期。似乎沒有任何事可以出錯。但1942年一個暴風雨的夜晚改變了他們的命運。
“There’s a fire. The workshop is on fire.”
「發生火災了。木作工坊起火了。」
But when the firemen arrived, they were unable to save the workshop. It burned to the ground, and all the drawings and models were destroyed. Ole was beginning to lose hope. All that he had worked for was gone, and he almost lost his company. But being responsible for his children and workers inspired him to rebuild LEGO. A new factory was constructed. Soon the production of wooden toy started again. The little company fought its way back into the market. Gradually, the LEGO factory began to run smoothly, and Ole started looking for new challenges.
但當消防隊員抵達時,他們已經無法救回木作工坊了。它被燒毀夷為平地,所有的草圖和模型也都被破壞殆盡。Ole開始失去希望。他所有的心血都沒了,他還差點失去他的公司。但對他的孩子和員工負起責任這件事,鼓勵了他重建樂高。他建了一座新的工廠。很快地再次開始木製玩具的生產。這間小公司奮力找到重回市場的路。漸漸地樂高工廠開始順利地營運,而Ole開始尋找新的挑戰。
One day, he went to Copenhagen to look at a new machine that had just arrived in Denmark. It was a plastic molding machine, and Ole was very excited about it.
有一天,他到哥本哈根去看一台剛送到丹麥的新機器。那是台塑膠成型機,Ole對此感到非常興奮。
“Should we buy it? It sure is a good bargain, and it would give us a lot of opportunities.”
“Well, it does sound interesting, but it is a lot of money.”
“I’ll take that as a ‘yes’.”
「我們應該買嗎?它確實很划算,而且會帶給我們很多機會。」
「這個嘛,聽起來很有趣,但這是很大一筆錢。」
「我就當你答應了。」
When the plastic molding machine finally arrived, Ole started making little plastic Teddy Bears and rattles. But he still had the plastic brick that he had received at the fair. There was something about them that he couldn’t stop thinking about. And even though no one else could see the potential in them, Ole decided to redesign and put them into production. But it was when LEGO first launched the great Ferguson Tractor that the plastic toys became a success. Unfortunately, the sales were dropping during the summer, and the company had too many toys in stock.
當塑膠成型機終於送達時,Ole開始製作小塑膠泰迪熊和波浪鼓。但他仍留著他在商展上拿到的塑膠積木。他就是無法停止思考有關這些塑膠積木的可能性。即使沒有人能在它們之中看到潛力,Ole還是決定要重新設計並生產它們。但直到樂高首次推出大Ferguson拖拉機的時候,塑膠玩具才取得成功。不幸的是,銷售量在夏天時開始下跌,而公司有太多的玩具庫存。
“This can’t be right. Of course, our products can be sold the whole year, not only for Christmas.”
「事情不該是這樣。當然,我們的產品全年都可以銷售,不只有在聖誕節時才能賣。」
Godtfred decided that he would go out and sell the toys himself. Godtfred brought his wife Edith as company and moral support.
Godtfred決定他要自己出去賣這些玩具。Godtfred帶著他的妻子Edith作伴以及精神支持。
“If you can’t get cash then… hmm… We need butter and eggs.”
「如果你不能換到現金那麼…嗯…我們需要奶油和雞蛋。」
Well, it wasn’t that bad. Godtfred was a success in his trip around the country which helped LEGO to get out of its financial crisis. They reached home just in time for Ole’s birthday party. Ole turned 60 and the whole family was gathered to celebrate with him.
這個嘛,事情沒那麼糟。Godtfred環遊全國的兜售行程很成功,這幫助樂高度過財政危機。他們到家時正好趕上Ole的生日派對。Ole 60歲了,全家都聚在一起為他慶祝。
“Well, I guess it was a long trip around the country.”
“Hey, I got an idea. Ugh, listen! Listen! What about a picture with the three generations?”
「嗯,我猜這趟環遊全國的旅程很漫長。」
「嘿,我有個想法。喂,聽好!聽好!拍張三代同堂的照片如何?」
Everyone thought that was a good idea, and we were placed on the sofa with all the presents and flowers around us. On a business trip to England, Godtfred met the head of a big shopping center on his way home. They discussed the toy industry, and the conversation would be very important to the future of LEGO.
每個人都覺得那是個好主意,我們坐在沙發上,四周都是禮物和花。在英國出差的時候,Godtfred在回家路上認識了一個大型購物中心的領導人。他們討論了玩具產業,那段對話對於樂高的未來會是非常重要。
“Damn this industry! I just think that toys are no good nowadays.”
“What do you mean? I think they are working very well.”
“Oh, they work fine, sure! But there’s no system in anything.”
“System?”
“System? Hmm, there isn’t any system…”
“What in the world are you doing, Godtfred?”
“There isn’t any system. The toys need an idea and a system built around it.”
“I wanna put system in the play. Children have only been offered ready-made solutions.”
“They need something different that will strengthen their imagination and creativity.”
“So, you are trying to put LEGO into a system? Interesting.”
「該死的產業!我就是覺得現在的玩具都不好。」
「你是什麼意思?我覺得他們運作得很好呀。」
「喔,他們運作的還可以。當然啦!但沒有任何東西是有系統的。」
「系統?」
「系統?嗯,沒有任何系統…」
「Godtfred,你究竟在做什麼?」
「沒有任何系統。這些玩具需要有一個概念,並要建立一個環繞的系統。」
「我想要在遊戲中放進系統。孩子們一直以來都只接受現成的解決方式。」
「他們需要一些不同的東西來增強他們的想像力及創造力。」
「所以,你要將樂高系統化?這有趣了。」
That same year, LEGO started producing the first LEGO system of play. Children could now build houses from the LEGO bricks. The Town Plan gave play a realistic town setting, and with this, children learned about traffic safety. My sisters and I could play with the new LEGO system for hours. Some people said we were the luckiest children in the world, because we grew up in a toy factory. It was a huge breakthrough, and Godtfred decided to try selling it outside of Denmark. The system of play was so popular that they managed to sell it to many countries.
同一年,樂高開始生產第一個樂高系統遊戲。孩子們現在可以用樂高積木蓋房子。「城鎮計畫」讓遊戲有真實的城鎮背景設定,孩子可以從中學到有關交通安全的事。我和姊妹們可以玩新的樂高系統玩好幾個小時。有些人說我們是世界上最幸運的孩子,因為我們在一個玩具工廠裡長大。那是個很大的突破,而Godtfred決定要試著在丹麥以外的地方銷售。這種系統遊戲非常受歡迎,使得他們能在許多國家販售。
“Look what I just built!”
“That is really nice, Cal.”
「看我剛剛蓋了什麼!」
「這真的很棒,Cal。」
Even though LEGO was meant for only building houses, there was still a lot of opportunity. There was just one problem.
雖然樂高只供蓋房子用,仍然有許多可能性。只有一個問題。
“Hmm, I can’t lift it up. It keeps falling apart.”
「噢,我不能把它拿起來。它一直垮掉。」
That made Godtfred wonder. He wanted to find a way to make the LEGO bricks stick together, but that was easier said than done. Godtfred noticed that the LEGO bricks got a better clutch powers with tubes inside. Now, it was no longer just bricks but a whole construction system with endless possibilities. This was groundbreaking for the LEGO product. With a child’s imagination, LEGO could be anything in the world over and over again. The imagination is the limit.
這讓Godtfred感到好奇。他想找出方法讓樂高積木能卡在一起,但說的比做的容易。Godtfred注意到樂高積木在內裡有管狀結構時能有更強的抓力。現在,這不只是積木而已,更是一個有無限可能性的整個建築系統。這為樂高產品的新紀元奠基。有了孩子的想像力,樂高可以一次又一次地做出世界上任何東西。想像力就是極限。
“Look, Dad! Now, I can build everything.”
「看,爸!現在,我可以蓋出所有東西。」
Unfortunately, Ole never got to see how successful the little brick actually became. Godtfred was left on his own, and he had to go through another fire at LEGO that destroyed most of the wood production. Just like his father, Godtfred knew that he had to try to get the best out of any situation and never give up. Godtfred took the hard times with his head held high. As sales grew, the company also got bigger. He had to think ahead, and he decided not to resume the production of wooden toys and to only focus on the LEGO system. It turned out to be a great decision. Many new models were built, and LEGO got stronger in the toy industry.
不幸的是,Ole再也看不到這些小積木竟然變得多麼的成功。Godtfred只剩自己了,而且他必須要走過另外一場燒毀樂高大部分木製產品的大火。但就像他的父親,Godtfred知道他必須要嘗試充分利用任何情況,並永不放棄。Godtfred抬頭挺胸的度過這困難的日子。隨著銷售成長,公司也日益壯大。他必須要預作打算,而他決定不再製造木製玩具,只專注在樂高系統。結果這是個重要的決定。許多新的模型被建造出來,樂高在玩具產業越加壯大。
“Sir, which one of these do you think is the best?”
“Hmm… Errr… that one!”
「先生,你認為哪一個最好?」
「嗯…嗯…那個!」
Even though it got busier at LEGO, Godtfred still had bigger plans. Now, he wanted to build an airport. So, it would be easier to sell his toys to the whole world. Like father, like son. It didn’t take long to put his idea into action. Only three years later, Billund airport was opened. The many guests and business connections who visited the company always wanted to see the modeling department. Gradually, it got so crowded that it was hard for the employees to keep up their work.
即使樂高變得更忙了,Godtfred仍有更偉大的計畫。現在,他想要建一座機場。這樣就能更容易向全世界銷售他的玩具。有其父必有其子。要將他的想法付諸行動並不用花太長時間。短短三年後,Billund機場開張了。許多曾到訪公司的賓客及商務往來的客戶總是想要看模型樣品部門。漸漸地,公司變得太擁擠,使得員工很難繼續他們的工作。
“I think we’d better wait a while.”
「我認為我們最好等一下。」
Godtfred could see that something had to be done. He needed a bigger place to display the LEGO models.
Godtfred發現還有些待辦事項。他需要更大的場地來展示樂高模型。
“Err, I don’t wanna interrupt. So, I’ll just put this package of our new LEGO train, err… on the table.”
“Just put it there. Train?”
「阿,我不是想打斷你。所以,我只要把這盒新的樂高火車放到,啊…桌上?」
「就放在那裡。火車?」
The idea grew quickly from an exhibition room to an amusement park.
這個點子很快地就從一間展覽室發展成一座主題樂園。
“And then, we could have a tower so you could look over the whole park from above — the whole town.”
“It would be a land made out of LEGO — LEGO Land.”
“Well, it looks interesting. But how many visitors are you actually counting on?”
“Well, I guess… uhmmm… two hundred, three hundred thousand?”
“Three hundred thousand?”
「然後,我們可以蓋座塔,這樣你從上面就能俯瞰整座遊樂園–整個城鎮。」
「這會是個用樂高做出的樂土–樂高世界。」
「嗯,這看起來很有趣。但你究竟期望有多少遊客?」
「這個嘛,我猜…嗯…二十,三十萬?」
「三十萬?」
Even though it sounded like a lot, my dad was actually pretty far off the mark. There were six hundred thousand guests the very first year. My family and I were there to greet the guests. We’ve kept up this tradition ever since. Now, you know how it all began. LEGO wouldn’t be what it is today if it hadn’t been for my grandfather’s sense of quality and search for perfection. My father firmly believed in the endless possibilities of the LEGO system. I seek to take the LEGO idea even further. Encouraging children to explore, experience and express their own world — a world without limits. And we are still convinced that only the best is good enough, because children deserve the best.
雖然這聽起來好像很多,我的父親確實離這個目標很遠。在開始的第一年就有六十萬名遊客。我和家人都到場招呼遊客。自此之後我們一直維持這個傳統。現在,你知道這一切是如何開始的。如果沒有我的祖父對品質的意識以及對完美的追求,樂高不會有今天的成就。我父親深深地相信樂高系統中無限的可能性。我尋求更進一步地推動樂高理念。鼓勵孩子探索、體驗及表達他們自己的世界–一個沒有限制的世界。而我們仍然相信只有最好才算夠好,因為孩子們應該得到最好的。
