I am of the old school. I believe success is a result of hard work, very little, if at all, to do with luck. But sometimes, though not often, even when you have put in your every thing and carefully and meticulously lined up all your duckies, so to speak, things can still continue to fall apart or fall short of expectations.
That is when you start thinking, maybe with just a little bit of luck, things might right themselves!
Right now, I am guessing this might be how Park Sihoo-ssi must be thinking and feeling. But then, I might be entirely wrong…:)
Never been known as a slacker, he is always on the go, hard at work. So I have no doubt that since he finished filming his drama “Local Hero” (“Neighborhood Hero”), he has been working towards his next project. The other activities, like his Tokyo “Live” concert, Miyazaki, Odaiba Sky and Sea concerts were planned as complementary. There have been so many hints of him being on the verge of revealing his new project…then suddenly silence.
My take is maybe something might have become a hindrance? Something beyond his control?
If that were the case, if I were him, I would be thinking, “I have done so much, I have worked darn hard, laid the groundwork, paved the way with a number of activities and I am just short of making the announcement for my next project. So near, yet so far. How is it that something that is already full steam ahead, can suddenly become awry?”
“If only I have a little luck! Then things could turn out alright!”
Yes, Park Sihoo-ssi, not everything can be within your control! You have done all you can. But, sometimes, that little bit of luck can play a big part!
But, as the Chinese always say “路是人走出来的, a path is made or walked by man”. So if something does stand in our way, rather than bash our heads on an unmovable object, time to find a way around or over it.
Time to put on the thinking cap. Where’s your No 7 cap, Park Sihoo-ssi? Now, maybe that Lucky 7 will give you what little luck you might need! I have every confidence you will find your way!
Good luck!
只需一点运气!
我是老派的脑袋和思想。我相信成功是努力工作的结果,很少,如果有的话,是凭运气得来得。但,有时,即使已经把每件事情认真细致的去安排,就如英语说法“排列所有鸭仔 line up your duckies”,事情仍然可以遇到障碍和挫折,不如愿以偿。
这时你可能会想,也许有点运气,事情可能就会顺利进行!
只是我个人的猜测,这可能是施厚君目前的想法和感受。但,我也可能是完全错的… 🙂
从来不懒惰的他,总是努力在工作。所以,毫不怀疑,他拍完电视剧“小区英雄”(“邻家英雄”)后,应该是一直努力探讨他下一个作品。其他的活动,如东京演唱会,宫崎,台场海空音乐会的计划都是互补的。已经有好多次暗示了即将揭晓新的作品…然后突然沉默了下来。
我只是猜测,或许真的有障碍?一些超出他所能控制的挫折?
如果是这样,而是我,我会想,“我已经做了这么多,不断努力地工作,奠定了基础,安排了好多项活动铺平道路,现在只是差点作出下个作品的宣布。这么近,又那么远。提前全速已定的事情,怎么会突然有变故呢?“
“如果有一点运气,事情就可以正常进行吧?”
是的,施厚君,并非一切都可以在你的控制掌握范围之内的!你已经做了你尽可能的啦。但是,有时候,那点运气可能起到很大的作用!
但是,正如中国人总是说:“路是人走出来的”。所以,如果碰到不能移动的障碍时,不要砸伤了自己的脑袋,及时找出其他的方式去跨过或绕过它。
应该戴上你的思维帽…施厚君,你那顶7号帽子在哪?也许这将会是你的幸运7号Lucky 7, 会带给你需要的那一点运气!我对你信心十足,你会找到出路的!
施厚君,祝你好运!

Cést exactement! what you accounted is exactly how I feel close to my heart that is right now happening to Dear Sihoossi. When all things have seemed to travel so well with all our hard works yet the final step is hindered, we may attribute it as luck, but my view is that means it is not meant to be. Later on with time will reveal why so. I had my personal experience when a fortune 500 multinational who offerred me a job via top head hunter firm in Hong Kong, yet that offer was pulled back due to their USA HQ gave a change in policy / global direction regarding external recruitment. When the American boss -to -be rang me on a weekend, and revealed how sorry he was not able to proceed with the promise, my body was shaking with disbelief, after the intensive grilling at interviews and stiff competition and settled my outgoing job with 2 months notice, just as I was about to start this new job. I was an expatriate in Hong Kong which means my living in HK depending on having a job in HK, like you Nance, it is work that took me to living in HK, however unlike you who has a solid home in Singapore with your doggies babies and your family, by then I was quite rooted in HK and there was no other home to go back to by then. The headhunter was only told on the Monday after the weekend phone call, he totally couldn’t believe it himself as he kept saying to himself “”multinational, fortune 500, their word should be as good as gold.”” as by then the headhunter has already rewarded me for their lucrative deal of placement with a VIP HK horse racing dine and fun night. For him to learn that the placement is blown just by one stroke I gathered he was more affected by the blow than me. Well que sera sera, and guess what, if not because of that very last stroke of change, I would not have reconnected with my now husband who we lost touch for years since acquainted 7 years ago in London. So there you go Sihoossi, let me be bold : if that project that you were so close to announce as your next works, yet it just blew in the very last moment with things beyond your control, it means there are much better things in store waiting for you that you have not realised. So yes, please open your mind and your eyes and look at things that seem to be totally unlikely and impossible to you. Example me a corporate expatriate walking on shinny marble floor high rise quick pace HK executive, marrying a farmer in Down Under – the 1st thing that came to my mind was my high heel will scratch on the pebbles rough country roads, how does that look possible? But proof I have with the passage of time, it is now into our 16 years of me being a farmer’s wife, a life that is overflown with interesting motivational inspirational insights of the many things here in this valley. How’s that sound to you, would I want that luck to sail on in HK and continue to be living the life that most people would understand as logical for me (because until now many who aren’t my close circle did not realise I have disppeared from the Asian world), and perhaps if I continue to live in HK by now I would be able to join Nance in attending all the PSH events? Is not a question I need to answer this life time, because things that are not meant to be, we don’t bang our heads hard on. Whereas once your clear your mind and see it what is your next path, that path will open up so surprising smooth for you, I again speak with solid personal experience regarding my big change to become a farmer’s wife, everything, yes EVERTHING fell into place for me, I didn’t need to force any issue, it was something like I would need to do one or 2 steps, the universe, the people the events will complete all the next required steps for me.
I can’t agree more Chai Hua Loke. I have always been a believer of when one door closes, another opens. No need to despair but look elsewhere for opportunities. One path will lead to another so it is how you identify your opportunity and how best you leverage and make out of it. And the other thing I also believe is that what is yours will be yours and it will wait for you. However, what is not yours will not be yours, don’t force it. If you do, you will not be happy with the outcome and live to regret…
Funny enough again, Sihoossi, that big blow that changed my life happened when I was aged 38. I don’t need to make up stories to get readers’ hit on Nance’s page. We have my mentor here Dorothy Ooi who knows if even one little word I say here is a lie.
May God bless PSH good luck!
At any time, will be eager to cut corners, human nature! Luck, probability, after all, is a small number of! The life journey, the mortal world, does not predict the prophet’s ability, the consistent hope, may smooth! Themselves, everything, to maintain a serious attitude towards! How difficult the external factors, their own heart to keep a clear mind! With a clear attitude, put limited energy into the business you need to deal with. The real world, the pressure is different, everyone is inevitable, he has been living in the open, where, won’t be afraid! Cherish the moment, the expression is: enjoy the moment of happiness and happiness at the same time, but also to bear the pressure and problems of the moment! True, do not think too much, the state of their own ability, only add trouble! Soldiers to the block, the soil to water flooded, there is no Chinese ancient feelings, for the modern people, to survive in front of the table and keep the value of the value, is the real warrior! Ability and heart, synchronization, other, hand over time!
Well you guessed Nance, something happens regardless of the will of PSH with siguranrta is not he who does not want to activate a new project. Someone or something obstructed, that only he knows but we have to be optimistic to forward too this state and make it through all the vicissitudes of life that it is hostile and move forward on the road to success much awaited new of course speak for the success of serials and movies, that look is successful in music and other activities. It could not have found what he seeks, because never going to see him on a project PSH mediocre. If there is a grand project, quality, where to be able to highlight the talent PSH will not accept. So it’s just Sufletel knows what’s going on in his work cinematofrafica. Either will make any decision will have our full support. Good luck and success for our sake PSH.
Why shouldn’t we think that :”Something not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.”[Dalai Lama XIV] . I try to believe that PSH is a lucky man and this has been proved. in everything he has done. If he hasn’t revealed his new project yet, I think, it’s because he is very scrupulous with what he is doing, thinking twice over his new project, believing that the harder he works for his new project, the more luck he will have of it. For PSH luck is not found , but it is made and he is what he settles for.. To be important, to be successful. to be precious, to be loved by his fans.
It’s my experience you could have prepared everything possible and still something beyond your control may cause you to change plans. Maybe this happened to PSH. Maybe he wants to tell you ladies the good news first hand in Miyazaki.Consideering his known schedule so far, preparations for a new drama will start somewhere in October/November. I read somewhere OCN has plans to produce a crime drama to be broadcasted early January. This is all speculation, of course. My gut feeling leaves me blank at the moment, but I am sure everything is going to PSH’s plans. If he had to make changes in the process, he had done as well. Universe is good to him. That little bit of luck will be his part as well.
