Awesome! Amazing things happen when we believe in ourselves...

Paul Potts - Nessun dorma



Paul Potts is the classic example of the Wizard of Oz, we're all looking for a wizard seeking for a brain, a heart, and courage, then the wizard says "you already have these things, all you need to do is to use them." When we starting believing in our great indomitable self, all things are possible...

Face your Fear, Live your Dream.
Push yourself, Inspire others.

Paul Potts Semi Final winning performance



Original
Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman - Time To Say Goodbye



原版與中文翻譯歌詞:

(Sarah)
Quando sono solo
sogno all’orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
si lo so che non c’e luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole,
se non ci sei tu con me, con me
Su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai acceso
chiudi dentro me
laa luce che
hai incontrato per strada

當我獨自一人的時候
我夢見地平線
而話語捨棄了我
沒有陽光的房間裡
也沒有光線——-
假如你不在我身邊
透過每一扇窗
招展著我的心
我那已屬於你的心
你施予到我心中
你在路旁
所發現的光

Time to say goodbye

是該告別的時刻了

Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si vivro
Con te partiro
su navi per mari
che, io o so
no, no, non esistono piu

那些我從未看過
從未和你一起體驗的地方
現在我就將看到和體驗
我將與你同航
在那越洋渡海的船上
在那不再存在的海洋
我將與你一起讓它們再通行

It’s time to say good bye

是該告別的時刻了

(Bocelli)
Quando sei lontana
sogno all’orizzonte
e mancan le parole
e io si lo so
he sei con me, con me
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
mio sole tu sei qui con me
con me, con me, con me

當妳在遙遠他方的時候
我夢見地平線
而話語捨棄了我
我當然知道
妳是和我在一起的
妳—我的月亮,妳和我在一起
我的太陽,妳就在此與我相隨
與我、與我、與我———-

Time to say goodbye

是該告別的時刻了

Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si li vivro
Con te partito
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no, no, non esistono piu
con te io li rivivro

那些我從未看過
從未和你一起體驗的地方
現在我就將看到和體驗
我將與你同航
在那越洋渡海的船上
在那不再存在的海洋
我將與妳一起再讓它們通行
我將與你同航

(duet)
Con te partito
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
con te io li rivivro con te partiro lo con te

(合唱)
我將與你同航
在那越洋渡海的船上
在那不再存在的海洋
我將與妳一起再讓它們通行
我將與你同航

What does it take to be great?


Why most people in all walks of life develop for a while and then stop, but a small minority keep getting better for years?
Why are some people able to keep pushing themselves to improve day in and day out while others don't?
Can we achieve greatness through learning and hard work, or it's a natural gift- you've got it or you don't?

What makes Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods great? What made Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett the world's premier investor? What made Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs one of the world's most visionary and innovative business leaders? We think we know: Each was a natural who came into the world with a gift for doing exactly what he ended up doing. As Buffett said "I was wired at birth to allocate capital." It's a one-in-a-million thing. You've got it - or you don't.

Well, folks, it's not so simple. For one thing, you do not possess a natural gift for a certain job, because targeted natural gifts don't exist. You are not a born CEO or investor or a elite athlete. You will achieve greatness only through an enormous amount of hard work over many many years. And not just any hard work, but work of a particular type that's demanding and painful.

For most people, work is hard enough without pushing even harder. Those extra steps are so difficult and painful they almost never get done. That's the way it must be. If great performance were easy, it wouldn't be rare.
