顧問：照顧和慰問 Consultant: Comforting and Assisting

 

Often, I believe to learn new things expands my own horizon: what I do not expect is when I am working on another Master’s degree, my peers would be seeking advice, quite solemn ones, form me.

誠然，我十分相信學習的歷程使我不斷享受洗心革面的歷程，不過，我沒有想到的，是在修習另一個碩士學位時，會遇見與我商議生命重大議題的同儕。

 

 

When the peer of mine were talking to me about issues of such importance that we would have to sit there for quite a long time, focusing on all the pros and cons, the directions of such persons' directionless, I became aware of how people look at things differently and how our worldview shaping us can be guiding us towards possibilities previously never experienced.

當這位同儕與我討論著所有的可能，這些選項造成其無法做選擇時，我很清楚可以感知到我們每個人的不同方向感，以及我們不同的價值觀型塑出我們不同的視野。

 

 

The discussions were intense. The persons asking me questions were filled with anxiety, which I also felt when others asking me for opinions would be like.

我們的討論非常具體、意見及言語的密度極高，詢問問題的人們充滿了疑惑，就像一直以來與我討論過事情的人們一樣。

 

 

過去，我曾經想像過，自己會進入某種狀況，成為某樣的人士，一種可以思考出許多解決方案的人……

In the past, I used to imagine that I would become certain kinds of persons able to direct certain issues for certain people.

 

 

我也曾經想像過，自己會成為某種雖然不再是空姊，是是有個能夠幫人解決許許多多問題的無形手推車，行走於世間，讓許許多多不同人士，得以面對更艱困的挑戰及解決更不一樣的問題。

In addition, I used to think that I would become one who is no longer a flight attendant but I would have a cart, an invisible one, being pushed by me for those around me to handle many issues while offering things people need, also in invisible ways.

 

 

在生涯過程中，我總是遇到不一樣的人們，不斷進入我的生活及工作領域中，與我討論各種各樣的事情。他們有著一樣的困惑、雷同的焦慮、相似的愁眉不展。

In my career, I have met many people who constantly enter my own realm, discussing with me things of importance, when they share identical confusions or anxieties.

 

 

為何人們會來與我討論，在他們的生涯中、生活中，所發生的事情呢?

Why would people want to consult my opinions for issues taking place in their lives?

 

 

而這又會使我成為怎樣的人呢------如果我不斷朝向某種方位努力，遇到更多與我討論事情的人們的話?

What kind of person will I become, if I constantly encounter more and more people discussing with me about issues of importance in their lives which reflect that of mine?

有人詢問事情在教育的歷程裡面，傳道、授業、解惑，原本稀鬆平常，但是以文章表達這樣的事務，卻使我重新一見自己的可能。

The whole learning process makes me re-examine many aspects of my own life when I am on this road of acquiring new knowledge. 

所以，三人行，必有我師，而原來我自己本身也總在與他人的討論過程中，不斷學習、茁壯!

In the end, I grow because I am able to help the others grow. How fascinating!
