讓孩子看到你努力的樣子
喬科維奇贏得 2023 ATP 年終賽冠軍,這是他第 7 次贏得這項冠軍,締造網壇紀錄。
喬科維奇說,今年是我職業生涯最精彩的一年之ㄧ。今年,喬科維奇贏得了 7 座冠軍,包括澳網、法網、辛辛那提、美網、巴黎、ATP年終賽等。今年他 9 次打進決賽,7 次贏得了冠軍。
在賽後訪談,喬科維奇被問到對於他的小孩可以在現場看他比賽有什麼感覺時,喬科維奇說,能在孩子面前比賽,一直是令他感到興奮激昂的事。
喬科維奇說:「我一直希望在孩子懂事的時候,在他們面前展現我在做的事;現在孩子們都長大了,懂得球場上正在發生的事。我一直很感恩,可以成為2位天使的爸爸,他們保佑著我,帶給我快樂和喜悅。孩子給我力量。」
當喬科維奇在頒獎台上(說義大利文)發表冠軍感言的時候,他的孩子在球場邊,撿起頒獎時放出的彩帶,收集起來放到爸爸的球拍上。
這個畫面讓我想起科技趨勢大師凱文.凱利(Kevin Kelly)曾有過的一段建議,凱利說:「要培養堅韌的孩子,就通過明確表述你們家庭的獨特之處,來加強他們對家庭的歸屬感。他們應該能驕傲地說:『我們家做OO』這個OO可以是任何一件值得自豪的事:我們家每天鍛鍊,我們家讀書,我們家樂於多給小費,我們家經常幫忙鄰居,我們家做的飯好吃,我們家允許打電動......給孩子幾個愛家的理由吧。」
現在的喬科維奇不只是網球冠軍,近期的他帶給我最大的啟發是 - 家長需要成為孩子的榜樣。
爸爸媽媽需要成為孩子的榜樣,孩子也需要爸媽成為他的榜樣。挑選自己擅長的領域,讓孩子看到你的努力、在孩子面前閃閃發光。一個閃閃發光的家長,會是孩子自我價值感的來源。
就像那句話說的,「孩子永遠不會成為你期待的樣子,他們只會成為你的樣子。」
活著就要繼續去愛! Love As Long As You Live!

追求突破,Stay hungry
阿卡瑞茲(Carlos Alcaraz)在辛辛那提公開賽男子單打決賽中輸給了喬科維奇。三盤都打到七局。他坐在休息椅子等待頒獎典禮,拿起毛巾遮住臉,大哭了起來。哭著哭著,又笑了。
喬科維奇稱讚阿卡瑞茲這麼年輕(20歲)就能在關鍵時刻中展現如此沉著的能力,真是令人欽佩。
喬科維奇說這是他打過最難打,也是最刺激的比賽。這樣的比賽,這樣的時刻,正是他每天努力訓練所追求。
在頒獎典禮上,喬科維奇對阿卡瑞茲說,「你永不放棄!」
阿卡瑞茲笑答:「我是西班牙人!」(I am a Spanish)
這就是阿卡瑞茲。新一代的球王,總是笑臉迎人,也以笑緩解困境。
阿卡瑞茲說到,這是一場很接近的比賽,我從你(喬科維奇)這樣的冠軍身上學到很多,恭喜你和你的團隊。
最近讀到一段話,來自凱文.凱利(Kevin Kelly,科技趨勢大師)寫道:「如果突破可以買到,那麼富人就會買下它們。然而,發明新事物需要的是熱情、堅持、信念和獨創性,這些品質往往是窮人和年輕人大量擁有的。保持渴望(Stay hungry)。」
(賈伯斯著名的 stay hungry,stay foolish,其實源自凱文.凱利)
恭喜喬科維奇!也很高興新的網球世代有阿卡瑞茲和辛納(Jannik Sinner)等,這樣有著正面特質,努力突破自我,熱愛這項運動的年輕選手,非常期待他們的精彩旅程。
追求突破、保持渴望,保有年輕。
重要的不是你看到的事物,而是你怎麼去看

Tennis Poster - Every Ball Goes In, Everything Goes Well
Every Ball Goes In, Everything Goes Well
Pablo Picasso once said, "It took me four years to learn to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to learn to paint like a child.”
In addition to collaborating with renowned illustrators worldwide to release limited edition tennis posters, we also enjoy working with young illustrators to see the world through their perspective.
This time, we collaborated with a young illustrator named 圈圈 (8 years old) to create the artwork "Every Ball Goes In, Everything Goes Well.”
圈圈 explained this creation by stating that the gray represents the tennis court, the green is the tennis ball, and the eagle-eye view depicts all the balls going in. The combination of orange handwritten text and a pink background simply and lightly conveys the expectation that things will go well and success will follow.
Limited to just 80 copies, the poster is priced at 280 NTD each. Purchases can be made through bank transfers or PayPal. Feel free to reach out via email (tothetenniscourt@gmail.com) for inquiries and orders.
If you're interested, here are the printing details for this poster:
The poster measures 50x70 cm, fitting well with IKEA frames for easy framing.
The poster comes with an information card featuring the artist's name, artwork title, creation date, and logos for both us and the young illustrator 圈圈. This card adds value, similar to the descriptions found beside artworks in galleries.
Many friends have shown great interest in our small stickers, and this time, the poster will come with extras. In addition to the logo stickers for the young illustrator 圈圈 and ours, there will also be one G sticker and one L sticker from the discontinued Tennis A to Z poster, as shown below.
"Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere." Every person needs opportunities.
We will continue such collaborations, working with world-class illustrators and young illustrators alike to create limited edition tennis posters. We hope that you'll hang up a poster you love, creating a pleasant corner in your life and bringing about a wonderful mood.
Limited to 80 copies, priced at 280 NTD each, the "Every Ball Goes In, Everything Goes Well" poster is ready for collection.

Tennis Poster - The Glory Is Being Happy
"The glory is being happy", a quote by Rafael Nadal.
In July 2010, at the age of 24, Rafael Nadal had just secured his second Wimbledon Men's Singles Championship. During an exclusive interview with the prominent American magazine "Sports Illustrated," Nadal was asked to define the concept of glory. His response was as follows:
"The glory is being happy. The glory is not winning here or winning there. The glory is enjoying practicing, enjoy every day, enjoying to work hard, trying to be a better player than before."
More than a decade later, we can still witness that this sentiment remains a steadfast belief for Rafael Nadal.
Inspired by Nadal's words, this summer saw a collaboration with German illustrator Yeye Weller to create the poster "The glory is being happy."
Yeye Weller is a renowned German illustrator with a following of 126,000 on Instagram. You can find his work here: https://www.instagram.com/yeyeweller/
Weller's illustrations have graced The New York Times, Netflix, McDonald's, KFC, Adidas, Warner Music, Adobe, Uniqlo, and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), among others. He has also held solo exhibitions in various European cities. His style features rich and vibrant contrasting colors, consistently depicting joyful smiles. Paired with simple text, his work serves as a reminder of things we know but often overlook, such as "It's nice to be nice," "Keep it kind," "Less work more fun," "Stay fresh," and now, "The glory is being happy."
Limited to 150 copies, the poster is priced at 600 NTD each. Purchases can be made through bank transfers or PayPal. Feel free to reach out via email (tothetenniscourt@gmail.com) for inquiries and orders.
Sized at 50x70 cm, the poster fits IKEA frames perfectly, making framing convenient for your collection.
Accompanying the poster is an information card with the artist's name, artwork title, creation date, and logos for both us and Weller. This card adds value, akin to the descriptions you'd find next to artworks in galleries.
Before mailing, the poster tube will bear our sticker and Yeye Weller's logo sticker (limited quantity). If you're interested, we can include an extra one for you.
"The glory is being happy." Hang this poster to serve as a reminder to enjoy each day with happiness, to embrace hard work and growth.
Our hope is to use art to create a wonderful tennis corner in the lives of those who love the sport. We will continue such collaborations, working with world-class illustrators to create tennis-themed posters.
If you know anyone who might be interested, please consider sharing this poster with them.

網球海報 - 《活得快樂,就是榮耀》,歡迎來信收藏
「活得快樂,就是榮耀」(The glory is being happy),這句話來自納達爾。
在 2010 年的 7 月,24 歲的納達爾剛剛贏得第二座溫布頓網球錦標賽男子單打冠軍,在接受美國知名雜誌《運動畫刊》(Sport Illustrated)專訪時,納達爾被問到會如何形容榮耀(Glory)。納達爾說了這樣一段話:

Weller 為紐約時報、Netflix、麥當勞、肯德基、愛迪達、華納音樂、Adobe、Uniqlo、世界自然基金會(WWF)等機構繪製插畫,並在歐洲多個城市舉辦個展。他的風格,有著濃郁飽滿的對比色彩,畫面中總是帶著快樂的微笑。再加上簡單的文字,提醒我們一些其實我們都知道,卻常常忽略了的事,比如,It’s nice be to nice、Keep it kind、Less work more fun、Stay fresh,以及這次的《活得快樂,就是榮耀》。
