How do we define the wealth a person has accumulated? 我們如何計算人類一生所累積的財富?

Is WEALTH only measured by CURRENCIES? 財富的衡量價值是否僅有幣值一項?

When I was sitting inside that Grade 11 classroom, I noticed they were quietly preparing what they would have to say in front of the class. They never lifted their heads nor talked to anyone else. They were only pouring down what they wanted to write at the very moment and express verbally at a later stage in the same class.  在十一年級的教室當中，學生們專注創作著他們稍待將上台分享的內容，他們沒有交談也沒有嬉笑，每個人都聚精會地神思考與下筆。

It would be our last. 那是與高二的他們的最後一堂課程。

When about the third person was on the stage, talking, due to their anxiety standing on the stage, were not really looking at any other students but me, my tears naturally burst from my eyes. We were all masked under the threat of worldwide pandemic. I was under the threat of an emotional impact which was so strong that I had to let my tears flow freely. I was grateful those were not my Grade 5 who tended to observe me close-range; on the contrary, these Grade 11 did not notice my tears. They kept describing their reflections of my class in such a sincere way that I was utterly speechless and stunned. 當他們的約莫第三位同儕上台發表本學期學習所獲時，我已經淚如雨下，所幸因為疫情升溫大家都戴著口罩，同時，他們也不像那些小五學生般時時關切老師在教室裡面的一舉一動，再者，上台發表隨之而來的焦慮使他們忽略其他細節。

I could never measure how much my willpower has opened new chapters in my life, that the more people I have met, the bigger change they would want to manifest in their own thinking process, and perhaps, later, in their actions. I can never feel enough gratefulness for who I am and what I have done upon the roads I have travelled. What I understand completely is that I have walked my paths well, and I will keep walking merrily on the same forms of roads. 我那無法衡量的意志力到底帶領我到了什麼場域，我實在永遠無法估算，因為我發現我所遇到的人群數量愈多，他們因著我的轉變也愈益明顯，這些高二學生也許現在聽來像是空談，但是我們無法預測他們何時會將自己的言語化為行動力，而我的感動在於他們的真誠言語，難以捏造。

於是我慶幸自己是這樣一路行來，也更加榮幸自己將這樣一路而去。

I admire the way I can devise new techniques daily to cater the learners' needs during their learning process. Due to this, I know I can serve more people and species no matter where I am. 我那無法用言語表述的，面對不同人群所展現及開發出的不同教學技巧和走向，恰恰給了我一個值得萬分感謝的充盈、富足的生命力。至此，上窮碧落下黃泉，我仍將傾畢生之力服務那千千萬萬有所需求的人群及物種。

After the last class with Grade 11, I dared not letting my Grade 5 students go onto the stage to express their ideas in those last phase of our sessions. Nonetheless, these Grade 5 still demonstrated such depth of the knowledge and understanding which were beyond my comprehension. 上完高二的課之後，在小學的班級裡面我再也不敢讓他們上台發表，只能用一些更加看似嚴肅的手段來度過期末的好幾堂課，然而，這些小學生們給予我的反饋之眾、之具體，也超出我的想像。

Looking back, I honestly have no idea such a rich person like me would be able to retreat from every setting I've been too globally...   回想起來，我其實不知道如此富足的自己在世界各地，到底是怎樣全身而退的……

Or maybe, perhaps, I have just carried many memorable moments worldwide to places where people may need me, or, vice versa...  或者，我從來沒有「全身而退」，只不過是帶著一絲又一絲的記憶，行遍千山萬水而在在來到海闊天空……
