LOVE到底是什麼樣子呢? What Does Love Look and Feel Like?

Background information: Mandarin Chinese below would be the attempt to explain the video and wording were all done a few days ago. Many things come into our lives while many people are passers-by; my wish is to make the world better by making my students of all age appreciate life more whereas I would want to keep serving those in need wherever they are! 

More English would follow the Mandarin Chinese below. 

下面的文章幾天前已經完成,只是公務繁重所以沒有張貼;
錄影錄音也在幾天前完成,只是覺得可以再錄好一些所以重新來過。

每件事情都有一個來處
每個念頭都有一個根源

在這些來處與根源之間
也許總難十全十美
但如果可以八面玲瓏把自己呈現給這個世界
含笑九泉的機率就更高了一些

剛剛進到新的環境
學生很明顯已經喜歡上這個新來的英語老師
運用這樣的喜歡
我想,可以作的事情,總會接踵而來

願您也作著讓自己發光發熱
讓自己會心一笑的事



以下是已經完成的本文,英語呈現文字,影像檔中英對照但並不完全相同哦~~~ 


“I want to know what love is.

I want you to show me.”

These would be the words I heard while traveling to the new place where I work.



Just by the time I was about to enter the urban center where I work now, the song was aired, an old-fashioned song sung by someone who vividly describes the lack of his and how he wants such void to be fulfilled.

 


“Aren’t we all the same?” I asked myself. “We are all looking for that kind of love helping us to weather through those tough moments.

 

Once I read that “Excellence is love in action,” which I cannot agree more.  Furthermore, I read about how when people love the others, they give to those they care about selflessly. I think about those whom I have met demonstrating such loving kindness to the others—Ms. Wong who has painted her entire neighborhood free of charge, Mr. Chang who has gathered resources for those suffering from natural disasters, my foreign friends who have shared with me how they have helped the others through the years, and many similar others whom I have met throughout my career. These people have shown me that in their actions, they become excellent role models I would like to follow. It would be with such grace bestowed on my that I have had the pleasure meeting so many people like them.

 


For someone like me, to love means to practice loving kindness to every person around me. When I walked into the new classroom, the entirely unfamiliar place to work, the first thing I began doing was to clean the classroom itself, making sure all the windows, chairs, and tables are neatly arranged. This kind of work reminded me of the task of handling lavatories on board of aircrafts when I was a flight attendant.

 

Like purifying my mind, I enjoy cleaning these public areas where people come and go in my life. By doing so, I find that beauty of serving the others can begin from the smallest parts of our lives. When I cleaned those lavatories on board of different aircrafts, I thought about how passengers would have enjoyed their time traveling to different places in the world; when I made the new classroom of mine teaching the students more comfortable, I expect we will have a great time together.

 

For all these, I am grateful that each and every day, I clean my thoughts and practice loving kindness so that humbly, by giving and sharing the best part of me, when I always carry that sense of reality when I am aware there are those who are touched and changed due to me, towards better prospects with more sunshine, I understand completely that my life is not in vain, that I am always making things and people better, and that as they love me back, I am giving them the best part of me, too.

 

When I was a little girl, I really hoped someone would be able to show me what LOVE was. Fortunately, through all the places I have been, those whom I have met, works that I have done, in correspondence with the sentences in that song, I must merrily state that “I have already known what certain kinds of love are like. How lucky I am!”
