Received a rather uplifting email…
“Dear Mr. Shen, I am a translator and currently I am translating a book entitled “Enough” by John Naish. A quotation from you appears in the book as follows:
The moment we are content, we have enough.
The problem is that we habitually think the other way round:
we assume we will be content only when we have enough.– Shen Sh’ian, editor of The Daily Enlightenment newsletter
I would appreciate very much if you could advise me on the Chinese version of this paragraph, if available. But most importantly, your name and the newsletter title in Chinese, so that the translation can be as accurate as possible. Thank you in advance for your help and with my best regards. – ML Hsu (Ms) Taipei, Taiwan”
By an uncanny karmic coincidence, I’m in the process of getting a friend’s help to translate TDE books 1, 2 and 3 into Chinese. Also, I’m planning on getting published mainstream in English too – to reach more readers, beyond just writing for free distribution limited to the region. (Does anyone have publishing connections?) Ironically, in a nice way, I already got published mainstream, via someone else – though it’s just a couple of lines! I just googled the book. Looks interesting. I’ll buy a copy! And review it here later! By the way, isn’t the cover of ‘Enough’ TDE-ish? The white minimal design reminds me of the design of TDE 1 and 3.
