My life is like basketball / 我的人生就如籃球

Just returned from L.A. with a full day of driving, followed by work until 3 at night, I was so tired today. Fortunately, the theme park my family wanted to go was closed today so we decided to stay home. My wife decided to enjoy Friday afternoon at the pool While the kids rather stay home with their favourite TV shows. I picked up the badketball and went solo.

昨天開了一整天的車從洛杉磯返家，之後還要工作到晚上3點，今天我還是覺得很疲累。還好的是我們原定要去的樂園今天有特別活動，所以不對外開放，所以我們就留在家中。孩子們看着心愛的電視節目，我太太則決定去游泳。我就拿起久違的籃球一個人去打籃球。

Being the only one at the court, I played for about 20 mins and then I suddenly felt like doing something uncommon: I practice my weak hand's skills. Right, that's my left hand. I am a single-handed guy for everything with my right hand as the dominant hand. It is natural that I play basketball mostly with my right hand. I will my left hand only for assisting like doing crossover.

球場只有我一個人，打了20分鐘之後，我突然想開始練習一下我比較弱的手，左手。我是所謂的「單蹄馬」，我只會用右手，左手只是輔助。

Practicing left hand with dribbling and shooting made my left hand tired real soon, probably because muscle of left hand never trained for such intensive usage. For the 30 mins of left hand only session, I felt like I had used my left hand for over 30 hours. There were lots of failure during the training that made the whole thing even harder. Especially when something like this happened!

練習左手運球和射球令我左手非常疲倦，因為以住並沒有好好訓練左手。30分鐘之後，我覺得自己好像不停打了30小時的籃球。 由於不習慣的關係，少不免有很多失誤，令人倍感困難。特別是當你遇上這種情況。

This is not a problem when there are other people with balls around. Even if you are alone, it is OK when you're young, just one jump will solve the problem. For an old man like me, a little bit help was needed.

當有其他人和籃球在的時候，這並不是問題。當我還年輕時，只要跳一下亦可解決問題。但是像我這樣的大叔，只可以借助它了。

When I was enjoying the game, I realized my life now was like this basketball game. I was at my middle age, kind of settled down with my career and family. All of a sudden, STEEM came into my life and I started writing, which was something totally new to me, very much like training my left hand skill at this age. There would be problems and challenges that used to be nothing before, I have to overcome them with some help, but after I overcome them, I felt good and they became my motivation to move forward. STEEM is now more that just an investment to me, it becomes part of my life!

就在打籃球時，我發現我現在就像剛剛的左手訓練一樣，人在中年，事業和家庭已經沒有什麼變化，STEEM的出現令我開始寫作。這是我以往沒有做過的事，就像開始左手訓練一樣，是個新的開始和挑戰。當然不會一帆風順，就像在Steemit一樣有各種各樣的難題要克服，但當我習慣了之後，又發現我亦很享受這種生活，亦令我有種動力不停寫作。所以STEEM已經不只是一種投資，它已經是我生活的一部分。
