A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
理解
Understood
I've been around golf my whole life. My father did it all the time, and I resented him for it. But a couple years ago I picked up a golf club and I understood the physics of it. If anyone knows anything about golf, it's that once you hit a few shots, you'll become addicted.
我一生都在打高尔夫球。我父亲总是这样做,我因此而怨恨他。但几年前,我拿起了一根高尔夫球杆,我明白了它的物理原理。如果有人对高尔夫有所了解,那就是一旦你打了几杆,你就会上瘾。
I was finding it very difficult to find a label that understood what I wanted to do and really believed that people wanted to hear something honest and a little bit different. So, I did feel a bit like a clown. You're knocking on everyone's door trying to get them to believe what you're doing.
我发现很难找到一个品牌能理解我想做什么,并真正相信人们想听到一些诚实的、有点不同的东西。所以,我觉得自己有点像个小丑。你在敲每个人的门,试图让他们相信你在做什么。
