LUCKY DAY / 幸運日

每次推出一個產品之後，我得放慢腳步好好搜集靈感。今天本來計畫一早起來寫寫書法，修身養性， 想不到打開信箱就發現我的第一筆交易！小雪在客廳忙弟弟婚禮弄得焦頭爛額，我卻忍不住抱著她又叫又跳，之後忙了一整天，終於把顧客的貨品寄出去。

Every time when I have brought forth a new item, I have to take my time the next day to collect inspirations. I had planned a relaxing morning for writing calligraphy to stay zen, but when I opened my email box, guess what? I received my FIRST transaction order! Mom was busy preparing Jei's wedding in the living room. I couldn't help jumping and shouting at her. It took me a whole day to prepare the package and mail it to my first customer.

最近開始不在意白頭髮了，我洗澡的時候還會對它們說謝謝，是它們幫我想出許多好主意。

Lately I have been less obsessed with my gray hair. When taking a shower, I even say thanks to them. It's they that help me come up with so many good ideas. 

到了傍晚之際，我又得到我的幸運星幫助，訂了第二筆交易，今天一整天都覺得世界真美麗！明天還要繼續努力！

By this evening, I had won my lucky star's help and got my second deal. I am really in seventh heaven today! I'll head into tomorrow with more zeal!

seize the time / 一年當三年

上個月過著步調倾向緩慢的生活，這一週卻越轉越快，我想到去了英國的佳瑜說，她要把這一年當三年用，我感受到她說這話背後的熱血，同時還要記得完美包括放鬆。

Last month I was still taking my time, but this week I have slept less and worked more. I constantly think of the words of Natalie, who went to the UK a month ago. She said that she's going to turn one year into three. I feel the fire behind these words, but meanwhile, I have to bear in mind that perfection includes letting go as well.

Caterina給了我一張產品的建議清單，週末在誠品看到土耳其籃的皮革帶時有了靈感，書籤上如果別上如此美麗的顏色，看來一定會賞心悅目。至於書籤的功能，都是為了暫時放下書本，休息或工作去，我想了十四件事，做成了一組十四張書籤。

Caterina gave me a long list of potential products. I was inspired when I glimpsed at the turquoise leather at Eslite. It should look good on a bookmark. Bookmarks are used when we stop reading to take a break or work. I thought of fourteen patterns and made a set of 14 bookmarks.
