2025 年度回顧：在漆黑中，走出屬於自己的路
這是我的 2025 年度回顧。「有些事不是看到希望才去堅持，而是堅持才有希望…」這句話，陪我走過了整整一個 2025 年。
每一次當我感到內耗、焦慮的時候，我都會在心裡不斷重複這句話。記得黑咪爸曾經講過：「做人冇希望就完蛋！」確實很有道理。但很多時候，當我們身處黑洞深處，是真的完全見不到一絲光線的。
在這些時候，我們只能自己給自己希望。
內心要發光，不是為了要照亮其他人，而是純粹想照亮快要被吞噬的自己。但也許有時，連內心那點微弱的光都會泯滅。這時候，我們有兩個選擇：
- 放棄。
- 一步一步在漆黑之中繼續走下去。
走著走著，不知不覺間，路已經被你走出來了。這就是所謂的「堅持才會有希望」。
2025 年對我來說，是有痛苦、有掙扎，卻又精彩絕倫的一年。
🧠 心理健康 (Mental Health)：行走的療癒力量
這一年，我承受了巨大的壓力。
但我堅持了冥想的習慣。除此之外，我還找到了一個新的療癒方法——在海旁散步。不聽音樂、不約朋友、不看電話，就只有我自己，專注地一步一步往前走。
我發現，哪怕只是短短的 30 分鐘，這種獨處的時光都有著驚人的療癒力。在不知不覺間，我透過這一步步的行走，慢慢治癒了自己。
💪 身體健康 (Health)：身體會說話
老實說，今年我有偷懶（笑）。因為積壓了一些情緒需要處理，去健身房的次數變得斷斷續續（Sorry Winnie!）。
然後報應就來了——我開始感到膝蓋有種奇怪的痛楚，無論是上樓梯還是從椅子上站起來都會痛。我知道，這是身體在向我發出警號：「是時候回去訓練了！」
於是我乖乖歸隊，重新開始訓練。神奇的是，我現在已經完全康復了。這讓我學到了一課：永遠要聆聽身體告訴你的訊息，它比你想像中更聰明。
📚 閱讀 (Books)：重質不重量
今年讀的書不算多，但我改變了心態。現在每當我閱讀，我都把它視為與作者的一次深度對話。閱讀不是比賽誰讀得快、誰讀得多，而是關於你從中提取了什麼對你有價值的東西。
目前我正在讀一本關於 UNIQLO 的書，沒想到它竟然讓我大開眼界！書中很多觀點都讓我獲益良多。
💼 生意 (Business)：艱難但正確的決定
2025 年，我們做了一個艱難的決定——結束了銅鑼灣分店。
要跟我們的第一個據點說再見，真的很傷感。這是一個充滿情感衝擊，但在商業邏輯上卻是必須做的決定。在這一年裡，我也做了好幾個類似的重大決策。那個過程充滿壓力和困難，但我知道我必須做。
我想給自己一個擁抱，因為我沒有選擇逃避或忽視問題。我選擇了直面心魔，而正是這份勇氣拯救了局面。雖然生意還沒達到我們理想的狀態，這是一場旅程，我們帶著決心，終會到達目的地。
📱 自媒體 (Social Media)：保持真我
繼 2024 年 YouTube 突破 10 萬訂閱這個里程碑後，2025 年我看到了網上有各種戲劇化、尖叫、誇張的內容。這也無可厚非，因為每個人、每個品牌都渴望被看見。
老實說，我有那麼一刻動搖過：「天啊，我是不是也要這樣做？否則會被時代淘汰？」
但冷靜下來後，我知道那不是我。我不會享受那種過程，我也不是在追求數字或錯誤的關注。我珍視的是與你們之間真誠的連結。
要建立深層次的連結，首先我需要為你們提供價值。這是我當年開設 YouTube 的初衷，也是我多年來不變的宗旨。這依然會是我 2026 年的準則。
我可能不是最好笑、最大聲或最戲劇化的創作者，但我向你保證——我依然會是最真實的 Hakme，將「對你提供價值」放在首位。
結語：我有著一股不服輸的精神！
「有些事不是看到希望才去堅持，而是堅持才有希望…」
看到希望才堅持很容易，因為希望就是動力。但正如我所說，當光消失時，也許你唯一需要做的，就是專注當下的一步，繼續走下去。不知不覺中，你會學習、你會調整，然後你會走出屬於你的路。
2026 年已經開始了，大家過得還好嗎？
我有著一股不服輸的精神！！我的目標很簡單：無論看見光與否，我都會繼續前行。
這就是我的精神。我已經準備好了，甚至已經馬不停蹄地開工了 LOL！
【English Version】2025 Recap: Persisting When the Lights Go Out
“Some things, you don’t persist because you see hope; you see hope because you persist.”
This quote walked with me through the entirety of 2025.
Every time I felt consumed by internal struggles or anxiety, I would repeat these words to myself. I remember Hakme Dad once said: “If a person has no hope, they are done for!” It makes perfect sense. But often, when we are deep inside a black hole, we truly cannot see a single ray of light.
In those moments, we have to give ourselves hope.
Your inner self needs to shine—not to illuminate others, but simply to light up yourself when the world goes dark. But let’s be real, there are times when even that inner light flickers and dies. In those moments, we have two choices:
- Give up.
- Take one step at a time and keep walking in the pitch black.
Walk long enough, and without realizing it, you will have carved out a path. This is what it means to create hope through persistence.
For me, 2025 was a year of pain, yet it was also spectacularly brilliant.
Mental Health: Walking Towards Healing
I faced a tremendous amount of stress this year.
I kept to my meditation practice, but I also discovered something new: walking along the harbour front. No music, no friends, no phone—just me, walking one step at a time.
I found that just 30 minutes of this solitude is incredibly healing. Without even knowing it, I managed to heal myself, simply by taking one step after another.
Health: Karma is a Bitch
To be honest, I got lazy. I had some built-up emotions to deal with, so I was on and off with my gym routine (sorry, Winnie!).
Then… well, Karma is a bitch.
I started getting this weird knee pain. It hurt whenever I walked up stairs or even just stood up from a chair. I knew exactly what it was. It was my body screaming at me: “Get back to training!”
So, I did. And now, I’m fully recovered. This taught me a valuable lesson: Always listen to what your body is telling you. It knows what it needs better than you do.
Books: Quality Over Quantity
I didn’t read too many books this year, but my mindset shifted. Whenever I read now, I treat it as a deep conversation with the author. Most times, I walk away having learned something valuable.
Reading is not a competition about who reads the fastest or the most; it’s about extracting value for you and you only. I’m reading a book on UNIQLO at the moment, and I never thought it would be such an eye-opener!
Business: Facing the Demons
In 2025, we closed our Causeway Bay store.
It was incredibly sad to say goodbye to our first location. It was an emotional decision, but a logical one. I also made a few other major decisions along the way. That period was so stressful and difficult, but I knew I had to make them.
I give myself a pat on the back because I didn’t choose to ignore the problems or run away. I faced the demons head-on, and they saved the day. We are still not exactly where we want to be, but it’s a journey. We will get there with determination.
Social Media: Staying True to Myself
After hitting the major milestone of 100K subscribers on YouTube in 2024, 2025 felt like a year of noise. I saw a lot of drama, screaming, and over-the-top content everywhere. Rightly so, because everyone—every brand—wants and needs attention.
Quite honestly, I did think: “My God, do I need to do that too? Otherwise, will I be left behind?”
But then I realized: That’s not me. I won’t enjoy it, and it’s not the numbers or the wrong kind of attention that I’m after. It’s the genuine connection I value.
To connect with you on a deeper level, I first need to provide value to you. That was the whole thought behind starting YouTube, and it has stayed my purpose all through the years. And that will still be my guideline in 2026.
I might not be the funniest, the loudest, or the most dramatic, but I guarantee you—I will still be the most me, with “providing value to you” always in my mind.
Conclusion: The Spirit of Not Giving Up
“Some things, you don’t persist because you see hope; you see hope because you persist.”
Seeing hope and then persisting is easy because the hope gives you motivation. But as I said, when the light is gone, maybe all you need to do is just take one step at a time and keep walking. Before you know it, you learn, you adjust, and you create a path for yourself.
We have already started 2026. How is it treating you so far?
My goal is simple: I am gonna keep on walking no matter if I see lights or not.
That’s the spirit. I’m ready, and I have been working non-stop already! LOL!
