每日口說挑戰"負責"是一件危險的事 (The Dangers Of Being Dutiful)

The dutiful way of thinking has such high prestige, because it sounds like a road to safety in a competitive and alarmingly expensive world. But the Rule of Duty is actually no guarantee of true security.

Thank you for the music - ABBA

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
When I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
But I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Day 180

不管怎麼樣，人生沒有任何最完美的選項。我們所能做的，就是做出自己認可的選擇，然後為這個決定負責。

今天來練習幾個字

dutiful
prestige
competitive
alarmingly
world (五二偶的)

The dutiful way of thinking has such high prestige, because it sounds like a road to safety in a competitive and alarmingly expensive world. But the Rule of Duty is actually no guarantee of true security.

盡本分的這種思維模式之所以有這麼高的威望，是因為在這個競爭激烈又貴到嚇死人的世界裡，它聽起來像是條通往「安全」之路。但「盡本分法則」實際上並不保證就是真正的保障。(全文有提到樂在工作才能有傑出的表現、也才能成功地賺到大錢。如果只是帶著盡本分的心態，可能只會想著交差了事，自然也不會有什麼卓越的表現。)
