"Mondays aren't so bad. It's your job that sucks."
"Are we supposed to be joyful?"
"Am I perfect?
NO.
But am I trying to be a better person?
Also NO."

人家的都是天外飛來一筆橫財，阿我都是天外飛來一場橫禍；別人無心插柳柳成蔭，我是無心插柳柳橙汁......算了，大不了就坐下來喝，不然還能怎麼樣？

還記得那位幽默又厭世的法國藝術家 Thomas Lélu 嗎？繼廣受年輕讀者好評的《I Have No Idea What I’m Doing Out Of Bed》後，他極具反叛精神又令人欲罷不能、睿智且充滿啟迪的手寫筆記集又有了新的續作——《No Rain, No Flowers》！

或許是受那句 "No pain, no gain." 的啟發而有了《No Rain, No Flowers》的由來，Thomas Lélu 似乎認為如果不是遇過那些狗屁倒灶的事，他也不見得能撇下庸庸碌碌的 "Hustle" 濾鏡，寫下這些清醒又真實的 Punchline。

不過在本書中，他一如既往的毒舌裡卻也藏著幾則暖心且真誠的鼓勵，批判了社群網絡表演性的一面，提醒人們面對生命困境時，絕對不要失去樂觀的勇氣；追求更美好的明天之餘，也別忘記重視內心自我的平靜與生活當下的樂趣。

"If it makes you happy, it's not a waste of time."
"It's OK to disconnect for a while."
"Stop trying to be liked by everybody. You don't even like everybody."
"Listen to the birds not the news."
