Its matters how you're gonna finish

"But honestly along the way you might fall down like this ... ready?
What do you do when you fall down?
Get back up. Everybody knows how to get back up.
Because if I start walking, I'm not gonna get anywhere

But I tell you there're sometimes in life when you fall down.
You feel like you don't have the strength to get back up.
Do you think you have hope?

Because I tell you, I’m down here. Face down.
And I have no arms no legs.
It should be impossible for me to get back up.
But it’s not.

You see, I will try 100 time to get back up, and if I fail 100 time.
If I fail and give up do you think I will ever get up? No.
But if I fail and try again and again and again.

But I just want you to know that it's not the end.
Its matters how you're gonna finish.
Are you gonna finish strong?
And you will find that strength to get back up, like this."

Letter ~To Your 15 Year Old Self~

Letter ~To Your 15 Year Old Self~
手紙 ～拝啓 十五の君へ～
By: Angela Aki

Dear you,
Who’s reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?

For me who’s 15 years old
There are seeds of worries I can’t tell anyone

If it’s a letter addressed to my future self,
Surely I can confide truely to myself

Now, it seems that I’m about to be defeated and cry
For someone who’s seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present

Dear you,
Thank you
I have something to tell the 15-year-old you

If you continue asking what and where you should be going
You’ll be able to see the answer

The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow

Now, please don’t be defeated and please don’t shed a tear
During these times when you’re seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I’m hurt
But I’m living the bittersweet present

There’s meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

Seems like I’m about to be defeated and cry
For someone who’s seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?

Please don’t be defeated and please don’t shed a tear
During these times when you’re seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice

No matter era we’re in
There’s no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present

Dear you,
Who’s reading this letter
I wish you happiness

เราทำอะไรอยู่ตอนอายุ 15 ?

ทำไมถึงจำตัวตนของเราตอนนั้นไม่ได้แล้วนะ
เราตอนนั้น กับเราตอนนี้ ทำไมถึงต่างกันจัง

ถ้าเราย้อนเวลากลับไปได้
เราจะยังเลือกทางเดินแบบที่เราได้เลือกรึปล่าว
คิดว่าไม่ ...

สุดท้ายเรื่องย้อนเวลาก็เป็นแค่ความฝัน

พูดถึงเรื่องนี้แล้วบังเอิญไปปิ๊ง quote จาก Rachel Getting Married มา เป็นตอนที่นางเอกไปเข้าคอร์สบำบัดแบบกลุ่ม ก่อนที่จะเลิกกลุ่มก็จะพูดประมาณว่า

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”

ทำได้มั้ย ?
