The So-Called Wealth 所謂的財富
Many people would like to be rich. Very few think about the wealth of the mind and soul.
很多人都想變成富有的人，不過，較少的人會思考關於心靈上的富裕與否這件事。
I guess I am a bit different: I like to pay attention to those earned from the inside, not outside.
也許我真的有點奇怪，因為我喜歡注視在心靈上所「賺」到的「錢」，而不僅僅是在物質上面像是存簿的數字、房子的大小、名車與否等等。
Maybe some would say I am pretentious, or I am just pretending. However, the more I consider about all these issues, the better I feel about myself, that I can be able to share with the others what I have gained. To me, life is wonderful and I truly do not ask for more, unless when it is absolutely necessary to assist more, more than those in Africa, in central Asia, or in any parts of the world besides my howetown whom I have served.
也許有人會說我虛偽、狂妄，不過，當我仔細思索，我還是由衷感到自己由於能夠為他人提供助益、形成轉變，而成為一個無比富足的人。
於我而言，生活的本身，工作的本身，讓我有著無限幻想的空間、發展的可能；除了必須為萬事萬物與眾人做更多更好的事情，以增加這許許多多生命體、無生命體的無限遠景，我看不出如果已經在人世間的四面八方，多多少少做了一些事情之後，有什麼還必須強取豪奪的。
相反地，我感到幸運無比，自己可以在這樣的人間，做正在做的這些事。
I do not feel the need to snatch anything, anyone, from any persons or entities. On the contrary, I feel blessed, extremely lucky, that I am able to focus on the issues I have worked on.
更重要的，是我有無比的感動，即便走到一個陌生的辦公室，即便只是一個單純的聊天，都會有一些人默默為我準備各種各樣的植物，讓我得以耕種、得以在教學上面讓人看出成長的力量。
More importantly, I am touched by the scenes I have expreienced, something like entering an office with people whom I have kever known before--they would like to use their time and intelligence to share with me the knowledge of plants and growing seeds so that I can use such know-how in the environments where I work...I become aware that anywhere in the world that is so strange, so unfamiliar to me would be with individuals who are willling to give me a piece of their mind, their soul, their knowledge, for the betterment of things I have focused on to make others' lives better.
那麼我就會了解，這世上的一處處陌生之地，都猶如那一個個有著我不認識的人的辦公室一般，而我，竟然有那種力量在進入任何一個陌生空間，讓別人為了我而做些什麼，使我的助益他人更加產生力量……
If under such circumstances I am not wealthy, I wonder how we can define as being truly rich :)
如果這樣仍然不是富裕，我真的不知道，什麼叫做真正的富有……
