#我們可以從奧運中學會什麼?
Steve Magness,《跑步的科學與實務》以及《一流的人如何保持顛峰》(*註1) 的作者,分享了 7 點關於表現和競爭的課題,我們可以將它們應用到自己的日常生活中。 (原文連結:https://reurl.cc/9rk8pX)
#從奧運學到的7件事
1. 相信你自己 (Bet on Yourself.)
身為 400 公尺冠軍的 Fred Kerley (*註2),直到賽前數月才轉為 100 公尺選手。如此巨大的轉變遭受到無數的批評與質疑,但最終他獲得男子 100 公尺銀牌。
只有你才真正了解你自己的潛力。
2. 照顧好你自己,專注於自己的賽道 (Take care of yourself and run your race.)
Molly Seidel 因為厭食症缺席了 2016 年里約奧運,但她並沒有被打倒。在 2018 年重回賽道後,Seidel 憑藉著優異的半程馬拉松成績,入選美國奧運代表隊 (*註3)。賽前 Seidel 僅跑過 2 場馬拉松,PR (個人紀錄) 2 小時 25 分 13 秒,最終以奧運史上最大黑馬之姿贏得馬拉松銅牌。
Seidel 在比賽完全沈浸在自己的節奏中;既不刻意利用其他選手為自己擋風,也不畏懼領跑原本比她更快的選手。在體力下滑後,Seidel 展現出卓越不放棄的意志,最終贏得獎牌。
重視自己的身心健康,它是你的根本,最終將會帶來回報。
3. 激烈的競爭,並不意味我們必須捨棄人性,放棄彼此互相分享 (Competing hard doesn't mean you let go of your shared humanity.)
卡達選手 Mutaz Essa Barshim 與義大利選手Gianmarco Tamberiy在跳高局賽中難分軒輊 (*註4),裁判告訴兩位選手可以繼續延長加賽,直到分出勝負。然而,Barshim 詢問裁判:「我們可以有兩位金牌嗎?」裁判點頭表示:「如果你們兩人都同意,可以。」因此兩位選手彼此共享了金牌的榮耀。
4. 放棄往往是最困難的決定 (Sometimes Quitting is the Tough (and Right) Decision.)
「放棄」時常被妖魔化,然而並非所有堅持全都是對的,放棄全都是錯的。重要的是在那個當下,做出正確的決定。
5. 創造空間,專注當下,一次調整一件事情 (Create Space, Stay in the moment, Focus on one thing at a time.)
女子跳高比賽中,Nicola McDermott (*註5) 在每跳後都在筆記上進行紀錄,比較自己每一跳各方面表現的優劣,並挑選出其中一項,在下一跳中調整。
6. 當情況變困難時,不要抵抗,放輕鬆 (When it gets tough, don’t fight, relax.)
觀察美國隊選手 Allyson Felix、Athing Mu,以及冠軍義大利隊選手在 4X100 公尺接力賽的心志表現。高強度的壓力、不斷挑起神經緊張的氣氛,足以壓垮每位選手的內心。面對如此高壓,他們的反應是輕鬆以對。
內心抵抗、過度努力,反而適得其反。放輕鬆吧。
7. 拿獎牌真的是 XXX 太難了! (Wining a medal is really freaking hard.)
千萬不要聽信「沒冠軍,什麼都不是。」
根據研究,抱持這樣心態的人往往導致作弊欺騙,而且更容易失敗。

動人的演說
“And we stood together”
那年那天
榮耀將歸於我們,所有人
英國年輕財相Rishi Sunak在3月20日公布一系列紓困措施,其結語的演辭觸動人心,在英國引起不少回響,這是我簡單的意譯
// 比起近代歷史上的任何時候,今次,我們將會用我們的同理心得到歷史的認同
我們要克服今次的難關,不能只靠政府或商界,還要依賴我們每個人的守望相助,例如
-小企業遏盡所能盡量別裁減員工
-學生們幫助長者鄰居購物
-已退役醫護自願地在本地醫院作輪班工作
當事情完結,這事情一定會完結,我們會牢牢記著,我們在這段日子所做的一切,以及其他人為我們所做的每件好事
到了那天,我們回望今天,這個影響整代人的事情得以完結,都是因為我們團結一致,共同承擔共同努力的成果
願榮耀歸於我們,所有人//
是的,在面對國家危難大是大非前,我們更應守望相助,關懷身邊弱勢,盡自己一分力,不就是上世紀70-90年代,我們香港人擁有的良好公民質素嗎
人人為我,我為人人(One for all, all for one)每個人多走一步,多為人設想,我們留守英國的香港人,同樣可以在疫情下為社區作出貢獻
我會告訴其他人,我不是來自那裡,我是來自香港,我引以為傲的出生和成長地
—————————————————
Rishi Sunak 結語演辭原文
// Now, more than any time in our recent history, we will be judged by our capacity for compassion.
Our ability to come through this,won’t just be down to what government or business can do, but by the individual acts of kindness we show one another.
The small business who does everything they can not to lay off their staff.
The student who does a shop for their elderly neighbour.
The retired nurse who volunteers to cover some shifts in their local hospital.
When this is over, and it will be over, we want to look back at this moment and remember the many small acts of kindness done by us and to us.
We want to look back this time and remember how we thought first of others and acted with decency.
We want to look back on this time and remember how, in the face of a generation-defining moment, we undertook a collective national effort - and we stood together.
It’s on all of us. //

📜 [專欄新文章] Pioneer A Financial Life on Ethereum with A Non-custodial Banking Replacement by Mel Gelderman…

Pioneer A Financial Life on Ethereum with A Non-custodial Banking Replacement by Mel Gelderman 在以太坊上開拓無需銀行託管的新金融生活
On the first day of 2019 Taipei Crosslink, the CEO of Monolith- Mel Gelderman gave a speech on their Monolith Ethereum Wallet + Tokencard and how people are starting to know and embrace Blockchain technology in our daily life, not for gambling or fraud, but for the real positive changes it can bring to the world!
monolith.xyz
Everything dates back to 2015 when Taipei Ethereum Meetup was merely a small group of people… Mel started off the speech with the memory of him stepping into the Ethereum ecosystem!
Story-telling time!
A brief description of Monolith
Monolith is a decentralised banking alternative on Ethereum, with its current business area in Europe. There are two main products: Monolith app is a contract wallet to transfer cryptocurrency to fiat money; Tokencard is a the debit Visa card that anyone can use just like a normal Visa card.
The Status Quo
Monolith has been through the FCA Sandbox in UK. However, AML(Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC(Know Your Customer) are policies Monolith has to comply with.
AML and KYC can be achieved by simply looking into the origin of the cryptocurrency or tokens, as everything on Ethereum is there, open and transparent: if an address is known to be of illegal source, banning it solves the problem.
Currently, there are already more than 1000 users using Monolith Wallet and Tokencard to cover daily expenditure!
TKN Token: Be our own bank!
Though the topic of TKN wasn’t brought up in the speech, TKN plays a crucial role in the ambition of Monolith: to return the interest of depositing money from banks to users. For more information: CLICK!.
If you’re interested in such ambition, also check out: Compound!
Demo Time
Mel demonstrated how to use their Monolith Ethereum Wallet. During the demo, there’s an anecdote really amused everyone:
The transaction time on Ethereum is surprisingly not really longer than the time on Visa lol
Apart from the above evidence that blockchain is rising ;) Here are a few notes about Monolith Wallet worth mentioning:
Monolith Wallet is a contract wallet with a recovery mechanism, which solves the problem of usual wallets that there is no way to get back your assets on blockchain once the private key is known to the attacker.
Whitelisted addresses are specific addresses not bounded by daily spend limit, and cannot be modified afterwards. Combining the two, even if an attacker gets to know the private key, the attacker can only transfer up to the daily spend limit, and the owner can transfer the remaining assets to the whitelisted addresses.
Monolith is also working on another recovery mechanism to deal with the situation of losing your phone. Stay tuned!
Monolith Tokencard also has every mechanism one needs for a normal debit card: freezing and unfreezing the card, reporting lost card, etc.
The workflow of using Monolith:
Decide the amount of cryptocurrency for exchange -> Decide the targetted fiat currency -> Wait for transaction confirmations on both Ethereum and Visa -> Success! This is now the debit card with money to spend :)
To wrap up this section, Monolith is the purest DeFi you can imagine! — Mel
Future Goal
Back in the days, it’s impossible to live solely on a Bitcoin wallet, as the exchange between cryptocurrency and real-world currencies was never easy.
However, with Monolith Wallet right now, the blockchain technology is mature enough for people to rely on the blockchain solution for daily payments, rather than trusting in banks to deal with our money.
It’s not hard to imagine that in the future, with the mass adoption of the blockchain technology, we might be able to receive cryptocurrency as salary and pay many things to anyone in every corner of the world with only a single wallet and a few clicks on your phone!
Questions
1. When or if it’s possible for Monolith to be available in Taiwan?
South Korea may be the first place for Monolith in Asia. Taiwan is on the list for sure, and hopefully, Monolith will be available by the next time when Mel visits Taiwan ;)
2. What is Monolith’s opinions on anonymity and privacy?
AML and KYC are the agreement Monolith made with Visa and FCA. However, Monolith is considering issuing a token to compensate users for going through these policies!
Conclusion
Mel’s is definitely one of the most inspiring speeches: Monolith and Tokencard visualize the dream that blockchain technology can really help make our society a more decentralised place and reduce the risk that we have always been staking on the centralised institutions!
In the end, I’d like to quote a line from Mel to summarize the speech and also his enthusiasm towards blockchain and Ethereum:
We are on the cusp of the most exciting moment in Ethereum since its creation!
Special thanks to Mel Gelderman for the friendly and patient feedback on my questions and recommending me COMPOUND!!! also, to Yahsin Huang for reviewing and her helpful advices and as usual to Chih-Cheng Liang for organizing the TEM column:)
Pioneer A Financial Life on Ethereum with A Non-custodial Banking Replacement by Mel Gelderman… was originally published in Taipei Ethereum Meetup on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Have you ever watched "The Hunger Games" movie franchise? Or have you read any dystopian fiction? 1984 by George Orwell is one of the most classic dystopian fiction of all time.
In this episode, we're gonna dive into the world of 1984 and see what's so fascinating yet horrifying about this dystopian social science fiction.

Quotes mentioned:
"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink."
"If one is to rule and to continue ruling, one must be able to dislocate the sense of reality. For the secret of rulership is to combine a belief in one's own infallibility with the power to learn from past mistakes."
"Those who control the present, control the past, and those who control the past, control the future."

one moment in time心得 在 [心得] 齊柏林飛船的【Whole Lotta Love】 - 看板Olympics_ISG 的推薦與評價
為什麼倫敦奧委會選了 Led Zeppelin 的〈Whole Lotta Love〉?
圖文影音版:https://raindog.pixnet.net/blog/post/21543267
 ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄
如果我是倫敦奧委會的一員,
要選一首代表性的歌曲用在北京奧運的接旗表演,
會選哪一首歌?
首先想到的會是我們家 The Beatles 的〈All You Need Is Love〉,
愛、和平,而且現在又到了反戰的時刻,
主題絕對政治正確,
就像1984年的洛杉磯奧運找 Whitney Houston
來唱主題曲〈One moment in time〉。
而這首歌也是全球第一次衛星電視直播節目
《OUR WORLD》的主題曲,
當年有26個國家、超過4億的觀眾一起見證了那個歷史時刻。
不過理智告訴我,奧運是由城市來主辦的,
披頭四絕對足以代表英國,
但提到他們時,通常想到的城市是利物浦 (Liverpool),
而非倫敦。
(即使 Abbey Road Studios 是在倫敦......)
那如果要從在倫敦出生發跡、有地緣關係的來找,
音樂史上份量夠的清單有Pink Floyd、The Who、Elton John、
Queen、Led Zeppelin,還有 Sting 領軍的 The Police。
(Sex Pistols 和 The Clash 應該不用考慮吧?)
Pink Floyd 在三年前有合體過,不過94年之後樂團就算解散了,
少了 Freddie Mercury 的皇后,雖然還有 Brian May,但終究已失去了往日的榮光。
而在剩下的四個選擇中,
我也會選齊柏林飛船,挑的歌曲也會是〈Whole Lotta Love〉。
理由有三:
1. 齊柏林飛船的原始團員才剛在去年底,
找來了已逝鼓手 John Bonham 的兒子 Jason,
在倫敦的 O2 綜合體育館完成了一項歷史性的演出。
而 O2 在2012年也會是一個重要的奧運場地。
2. 齊柏林飛船的〈Whole Lotta Love〉符合奧運主題,
而且這首歌是英國最直重要的電視音樂節目,
《Top of the Pops》(TOTP) 陸續用了26年的主題曲。
(不過齊柏林飛船自己倒是從來沒上過這個節目)
3. 這首歌當初是在哪一個錄音室錄製的?
1969年五月、倫敦的 Olympic Studios。
That's All.
討論結束 :p
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
【附錄】〈Whole Lotta Love〉的相關影音:
1. 原曲:當中的那段 riff 可能每個學吉他的都彈過,
但一定都彈的沒有 Page 那麼好。
2. 吉他手 Jimmy Page 在北京奧運的演出 (高畫質版本)
(版上已有先進提到,女歌手 Leona Lewis 把原來歌詞:
" I'm gonna give you every inch of my love",
改成較保守的: " I'm gonna give you every bit of my love"。)
