Just Two Ways

Peter Kam Fai Cheung SBS

FADE IN:

EXT. CAR - DAY

Smart. Sitting behind the steering wheel, Peter waits. Tapping his phone, he reads: "Five ways to begin to improve yourself in 2019".

PETER (V.O.)

When was it recommended to me?

Jan 8, 2019...Yes, the festive period

was just too busy. It's time to reflect.

Peter reads the small prints.

PETER (V.O.)

One is to write 10 ideas a day? I

focus on one each day...

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Two is to face a challenge a day?

I feel good if I do accomplish

something, especially when that

something is new to me.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Three is to lower my expectation

to make me happy, as I can't

change reality? That's challenging.

I aim high, trying to change the

world!

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Four is to laugh a lot? It's easy to

fake laugh but is impossible to

laugh intentionally. It's our playful

subconsciousness about funny relationships that make us laugh.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Five is... too obvious to mention?

It takes two to tango though.

Peter's WIFE gets inside. Peter pulls out.

INT. STUDY - DAY

Peter is hand on cheek.

PETER (V.O.)

I used to have New Year resolutions.

beginning the year with something

new. In 2017, I've begun publishing

in my thematic websites. But I don't

have any since then.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

I've realised that there're just two

ways to improve myself every day:

One is to add years to life, and

two is to add life to years.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

If one wants to enjoy life longer,

one has to be healthy. Exercises

should help.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

If one doesn't want to pass life but

to live it, one has to add value in

the process. Doing good to another

in whatever forms, and little bits

of it, when aggregated, may

overwhelm the world.

INT. SWIMMING POOL - DAY

Peter swims, lap after lap, changing stroke styles.

PETER (V.O.)

The belief that I can add years to

life motivates me to exercise more.

INT. OFFICES - NIGHT

Peter, carrying a brief case, reports to a staff at the reception.

PETER

Pro bono legal services...Peter

Cheung, Barrister.
