2019年,我給自己的目標是:

Make mistakes.

去犯錯,而且不只一個錯。因為只有犯錯了,才代表我在做新的事情,新的嘗試跟與學習;要做錯事,才有機會把事情做對;要有被討厭的勇氣,才會看到最真實。去做丟臉的事,去做別人不看好的事,去成為那個奇怪的人。

記得去年夏天有次想挑戰騎單車爬坡,於是從政大門口往貓空上爬,原以為平常有在騎車應該可以戰勝,居然爬到一半真的不行(那坡真的有點陡),全身發抖只好折返,氣到淚灑政大門口。I made a mistake 不應該第一次就挑戰那個坡度,但我打開了新的學習路線。

總是害怕丟臉,害怕別人看到自己的不足,害怕做錯事。但是常會在「承認自己就是做錯了」的當下,好像會被帶走一些害怕,覺得也不過如此,幹嘛要躲起來,「我」在別人眼中沒有那麼重要,根本沒有人會留意到我的丟臉,但我卻可能因為起初的擔憂,而讓自己錯過了學習的機會。

所以今年要時時提醒自己:記得要犯錯!

Neil Gaiman(尼爾·蓋曼, 英國作家): "I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before and more importantly, you're Doing Something. So that's my wish for you...and my wish for myself... Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect... Make your mistakes, next year and forever."
