Singing is sharing.

唱歌是要來分享。

When you sing, you have to know what you're talking about intimately,

你必須要知道， 唱歌是發自內心，

and you have to be willing to share this insight

必須願意讓人分享你的見解，

and give away a piece of yourself.

把一部分的你呈現出來。

I look for this intention to share in everything,

我每樣事情都尋求分享的目的，

and I ask: what are the intentions behind this architecture or this product

然後我會問：設計這座建築風格 或者這件產品，

or this restaurant or this meal?

又或者這間餐廳，或者做這頓菜， 背後的目的是什麼？

And if your intentions are to impress people

如果你只是想別人留下好印象，

or to get the big applause at the end,

或者最後得到掌聲，

then you are taking, not giving.

那麼你只想要收穫，不懂付出。
