We tell people to follow their dreams, but you can only dream of what you can imagine, and, depending on where you come from, your imagination can be quite limited.(P. 73)
Relationships are built in the silences. You spend time with people, you observe them and interact with them, and you come to know them—and that is what apartheid stole from us: time. (P. 110)
We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. (P. 143)
People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” What they don’t say is, “And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod.” That’s the part of the analogy that’s missing. (P. 190)
Nelson Mandela once said, 'If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.' He was so right.
When you make the effort to speak someone else's language, even if it's just basic phrases here and there, you are saying to them, 'I understand that you have a culture and identity that exists beyond me. I see you as a human being.’ (P. 236)
讀嘛讀嘛
(紀錄片裡Trevor的媽媽也有出現喔,讀完書後覺得他媽媽真的是太厲害了!!!完全被圈粉XD 媽媽的故事據說要被拍成電影了,好期待!)
可能想把這個主題留給下本書?XDhttps://www.books.com.tw/products/0010771193
那時候剛出書的時候我就迫不及待買英文版讀完了嗚嗚,這篇心得好棒好完整我忍不住又想全部重讀一次了 媽媽最後的故事我看到差點掉眼淚,Trevor最後心境的轉變真的很揪……我也看紀錄片了,書裡面人事物有了畫面之後整個感覺更沉更深刻,真的很愛他……他的daily show我長期看下來也都是中上程度的穩定發揮,Jon Stewart 真的是功德無量QQQQQQ
最後一個故事好讓人心疼,而看了紀錄片後覺得他們一家人都好堅強、好正向
我很喜歡Trevor的觀點,Daily Show每次看都笑得很開心XD Jon Stewart當初找他真的是找對了QwQ
我覺得他模仿John Oliver超像的XD補個他模仿John Oliver的影片XD
