Slow slow, quick quick and slow    .慢、慢、快、快、慢。(跳舞的節奏)

Dancing is not about the tempo, or the movement, what it really needs is passion.
跳舞著重的不是節奏，或律動，它真正需要的是舞者跳舞時的熱情。

Life, is like dancing- sometimes it’s a passionate chachacha, sometimes it’s a serious tango, and sometimes it’s a slow waltz
人生，就像跳舞一樣，有時它是熱情奔放的恰恰，有時它是嚴肅的探戈，有時它是緩慢優雅的華爾茲

But no matter what kind of dance  you choose to do in your life, you should always enjoy it, with your heart.  
但無論在人生中你選擇什麼樣的舞蹈，你都應該用心去感受，去享受。

When I was young, I had to study hard to meet my parents’ expectation, but I didn’t like to study, and the more they tried to compel ,the more I want to rebel.
在我年輕的時候，我必須用功讀書，來達到我父母的期望，但我不喜歡讀書，而且他們越是強迫我，我就越想逃離。

One Friday night, tired of studying, I escaped to my favorite park. There, i saw a beautiful young lady, with an angel’s face, and a devil’s body, teaching people how to dance. I looked at her, she looked at me, and my heart started, boom boom. She came up to me and asked, “hey handsome , would you like to dance?”.
一個星期五的晚上，讀書讀累了，我逃到我最喜歡的公園。在那裡，我看到了一個擁有天使臉孔和魔鬼身材的年輕小姐，在教人如何跳舞。當我看著她，她看著我時，我的心臟開始，嘣嘣的狂跳。她向我這走來，伸出手問道：“嗨! 帥哥，想跳舞嗎？”。

I was only 15 , I have never touched a girl’s hand before.  I felt nervous.
But the moment she held my hands in hers and taught me how to dance the basic chachacha, oh my goodness I could feel the energy and the enthusiasm. I felt like I was born to dance!   
當時的我只有15歲，我從來沒有碰過女孩子的手。緊張的情緒瞬間湧上心頭。
但當她握著我的手，教我如何跳基本恰恰時，噢! 我的天啊! 我能感受到活力和熱忱在手中縈繞。我覺得我天生就是要跳舞！

We all started dancing as babies and we moved like this…….. but then one day we stopped. Have you stopped enjoying what you love to do?
當我們還是嬰兒時，我們就開始跳舞了，就像這樣(肢體:舞動雙手雙腳)。直到有一天，我們停了下來。你是否不再享受你所喜歡做的事物呢?

We got busy , we were afraid , and sometimes we stopped believing in ourselves but I was lucky, I didn’t stop, I continued dancing.
我們開始變的忙碌，我們害怕自己所做的事物並不正確，有時我們停止相信自己的信念了，但我很幸運，我並沒有停止做我所愛的事，我繼續的跳舞。

For me, dance is not just a form of movement, it also allows people, even babies, to have fun and express who they are. Through dancing I have found my passion for living. I was born to dance, what were you born to do?  
對我來說，舞蹈不只是一種運動形式，它讓人們，甚至嬰兒，享受人生中的樂趣，並發覺自我。透過舞蹈，我發現我的生活中的熱情。我為舞而生，那你呢?

As I danced more, my ego took over, and I started to take dance very seriously.  The day of the dance competition I felt nervous and excited. I had been practicing day and night because I wanted to win, I wanted to be the best in the world, and I wanted to get a standing ovation from the audience.
當我跳的越多，自負佔據了我的心，我開始非常重視舞蹈。在某次的舞蹈比賽中，我感到緊張和興奮。我不分晝夜的一直練習，因為我想贏，我想成為世界第一，我想得到觀眾們的起立鼓掌歡呼。

When it was my turn to dance, I stepped,  I swung , and I moved with the music.
當輪到我跳舞時，我跨出第一步，擺動我的身體，隨著音樂舞動。

I felt good! I believed I would win the competition. When the result was posted , I arrogantly  walked to the announcement board , and checked my place. I looked , I searched, but I couldn't find my number.
我感覺很好！我相信我會贏得比賽。當結果張貼在公告版時，我驕傲地走到公告板，準備去看我得第幾名。我看著，我搜尋著，但我就是找不到我的號碼。

I didn't even place! I worked so hard for this moment…... That's it, I quit!
I will get an office job, like everyone else. Screw dancing.
我甚至沒有入圍！我辛辛苦苦的為了這一刻......算了!我不干了！
我會去找一份辦公室工作，和其他人一樣。去你的跳舞。

My teacher, saw my frustration, tapped me on my shoulder ,”Jason, sit down!
Why? I hate this competition, why stay here and suffer!
Calm down Jason, just watch!
我的老師在一旁，看到我的無奈及挫敗，拍了拍我的肩膀說：“傑森，坐下！
為什麼？我討厭這個比賽，為什麼我要坐在這裡，遭受這樣的對待！
“傑森，冷靜下來，你只要看就好了！

A spotlight shone on center stage. I saw a 90 year- old man, dancing a waltz. It was slow, it was smooth, it was beautiful. When he finished,  everyone gave him a standing ovation. That was my dream.
聚光燈照在舞台中央。我看到了一個90歲的老先生，正跳著華爾茲。那舞蹈是如此的緩慢，如此的平穩流暢，如此的美麗動人。當他結束鞠躬時，大家給了他起立鼓掌，而那.是.我的夢想。

“Jason, look at him. he didn't even compete, yet he received a standing ovation.  Don't dance for trophies ,dance because you are born to dance. The real trophy is in your heart, not in your hands.”  
“傑森，看著他。他甚至沒有參加比賽，但他得到了全場的起立鼓掌。別為了利益及名次而跳舞，你跳舞是因為你為舞而生的。你真正的獎杯是來自心理的認同而非表面的形式。

Ladies and Gentlemen,I believe all of us is born to do something extraordinary.
女士、先生們，我相信人皆因不同使命而生。

I was born to dance, but my arrogance and ego, stopped me from enjoying it. But after seeing that last waltz from the old man, I realized that life isn’t always about winning, it is about doing what you love, and loving what you do.
我為舞而生，但我的傲慢和自負，阻止了我去享受其中的樂趣。但是，看了那位老先生最後的華爾茲後，我意識到，人生並非盲目的去追求利益及名次，重要的是，做你喜歡的事，並熱愛你所做的。

Life is like dancing. When we were young, we all danced the passionate cha cha cha. As we grow up, we started to dance the serious tango, with our ego . Perhaps, we should all learn from the old man, and dance a beautiful slow waltz.

人生就像跳舞。在我們年輕的時候，大家都跳起了熱情奔放的恰恰。隨著我們年紀增長，自負佔據了內心，我們開始跳起嚴肅的​​探戈。或許，我們都應該跟那位老先生學習，跳出屬於自己美麗動人的華爾茲。

Remember, it is not about the tempo, or the trophy, it’s about the passion,and what you believe in your heart.
請記住，（人生) 要注重的不是節奏，或是利益，而是熱情，以及你自己心中的那份信念。
