不就是一塊爛抹布嗎 ONLY A PIECE OF LOUSY RAG

影像檔中的歌曲 Wording of the song inside the video:  Please be kind to the others. This is the way we are peaceful. 請你請你不要那麼做       那麼做真的很傷人 我不禁思考著,自己曾經如同音檔所述那些學生們一樣,屬於野蠻了一點的小女孩,然而,到底是什麼無形有形中轉變了我,成為今日不論進行何種任務,均將提升他人、他物,做為準則的樣貌呢? 何以我會有這種無限的包容和滿足感,不論如何都千金、萬金難買呢? I cannot help but wonder that as I used to be a "violent" girl, like the one mentioned inside the video, when I was a little girl. What have shaped me into the form I am today, that my orbit circles around assisting any others to be striving forward with much hope? Why do I have such feelings of acceptance content that can be worthy countless of any currencies? We cannot overgeneralizing different individuals around our lives; however, there seems to be specific traits in each and every culture... 我們無法概括而論、以偏概全分析所有的人物與事件,只是,似乎每一種不同文化裡面的人們,或多或少都有其某些特別的傾向…… 當我再次聽到有外籍友人們稱許我的「青春年少」 我真的不禁再次感到好奇: 他們眼中的我究竟展現了什麼不同之處,使他們不會輕易和其他與我同文同種的人 這樣說話?  When, again, some foreign friends praise me by stating "You're such a youn...

影音檔是如下文字的演唱及朗誦  This video records a song and words below.  It’s never easy to give.   Giving requires caring for the others.   To give depends on how much love we give to ourselves.   When we truly appreciate things around us,   It’s easier for us to care for the others.   付出本來就不是件容易的事 要學會怎麼愛惜他人 如果不能珍視自我 又怎能好好關照別人       前言:如果已經身行好事、心思好話,又有什麼好懼怕或者推諉的呢 ? Prelude: If we are acting and thinking altruistically, what can we be afraid of or postpone from?     生活及工作中的事務常常令我必須反省許多狀態…… During my work and life, there are many issues resulting my reflections towards many issues…     As my exposures with people can be varied, I would often hear people’s comments about me, such as the ones shown below. 由於接觸的人士多元,常常聆聽到的是人們給我的如下的描述:     “You are with that kind of demeanor making people everywhere wishing to know more about you;” 「妳所流露出來的氣息,使得各地人士會想與妳接觸、了解妳」   ...

  攝影時角度、正對與否,總讓我在最後看到攝像結果時,感到與真實作品的差異。 學生說:「我們不想做老師交辦的……」時,由於是經過思考而設計的教學內容,這時候, 為人師表者必定必須忍受一定程度的失望。 學生們也可能由於沒有進行這樣特定的任務, 而在未來某個時點,嚐到這個沒有進行的任務之「後作力」。 像這樣的時刻我會想到這幾個自己以書法所創作而書寫的字眼,而後,不論是身為教師、 或者學生、或者在生命扮演任何其他角色, 如果夠成熟穩重,應該就會對萬事萬物的某種懸念 予以釋懷, 並且有向前繼續邁進的無限動力。

BEAUTIFUL COMMUNICATION I 美好溝通第一回

Image
  Inside this piece of communication, an elderly friend says that "The reason why Hope you'd write so many things would be that you naturally express what you'd need to describe, without those so-called  having inspirations or not from the others. If you don't express yourself through your creative works, you'd be sick!"    "Inside this monologue, a student of mine describes his compulsory military career in which many chores need to be done. He also comments that 'You are those more senior than me whom I do not feel I need to ask you for your wellbeing, for you have improved yourself both mentally and physically throughout the time."  其實我想跟這位學生說的 是我不覺得自己是學生們的長輩 我認為我們是正好同樣身為在同一個遊戲區裡面 一起學習怎麼把遊戲玩得更好的伙伴 I would like to say to this studen that I do not feel I am more senior because we happen to be the people happening to play at the similar area where we all are considering about how to play our roles better as everybody's partner!

The "Matching" Project 「一比一」付出計畫

Image
我仍然不知道上蒼當時怎麼會給了我這種辦法,在先進國家地帶教書與工作,並且在落後地帶將這些經費用於那些需要協助、但是沒有外來資源抑注的人的身上。 Still, I am not aware why I was given such a method of working in more developed regions of the world, make money, and use such finance at places where people often live under 1USD per person per day as communities, communities without any outside assistance.  透過成長、閱讀、世界的行腳,我知道這個地球仍然千瘡百孔,有太多悲傷的故事每天在各地上演,很多時候我們假裝視而不見,主因可能是我們所生活的地方相對安寧而富裕。 Through learning, reading, I understand that the world is still scarred, with so many tragic stories taking place everywhere. Most of the time we can still safely and soundly lead our own lives is under the circumstances that the places where we are can be comparatively more peaceful.  身為一位教育者,我時常思考著到底應該給我所認識的學生們、想跟我學習的人們,怎樣更好的版本的我自己。 As an educator, I often consider about what I should bring to the world, to those students and people I know, that better versions of myself...which is why the version below inside the table is born. It is born after many experiences of servi...

放輕鬆

我親愛的美女同學:   這幾天的線上討論非常精采,實在很感恩能有這種「思索到深處」的機會。 現在認識我的人們常常覺得我很有幽默感,常常自我解嘲,也偶爾開開無傷大雅的玩笑。 原本的我是完全正統先進社會的科班生,行事作風嚴謹,不苟言笑。 那怎麼會變成這樣呢? 有一年在東南亞貧困地區做事-那年妳沒有參加、人也不在現場,當時我應該一個人隻身前往。幫一個小村莊拿了一些自己平時教書賺的錢,蓋一個和他們討論過後當地極需的水井,確實是當務之急,但是不明究理為何費用已付、事過境遷但井還沒有蓋好,問了一下惟一可以下山的村長的摩托車,剛剛村長才騎著下山去,他一離開又要過幾天才上山,我好生苦惱,焦急不已。 和村民沒有共通語言可以溝通,下山是為了找翻譯,翻譯找到了還要看對方願不願意到那種「鳥不生蛋」的偏遠之處……所以還要考慮要請哪些村民一起下山去談此事……真是千頭萬緒。這種焦急寫在臉上,而在山林中與事無爭的村長夫人朝著我笑了笑,搖了搖手,我們沒有辦法用言語溝通,但我覺得她在告訴我: 「放輕鬆,船到橋頭自然直。」 於是在那當下,我身上某種「文明社會人才有的氣息」,突然因為「當場的現實」考量,而緩緩放下。 說要放下嚴肅、刻板,當然不是瞬間之事,江山易改本性難移是沒有錯的,只是雖然「難」,但不見得沒有辦法「移」;這也正是日後的我在一些場合中,雖然看似和旁人無有兩樣,不過常常面帶微笑、或在之後談笑風生的主因。久而久之與世界各地落後地區人士相處過程裡面,就會被他們「同化」,讓自己也成為一種「童化」!也就是再次變身成為幼童般充滿觀察的好奇及發想!!! 而我有時候尤其在先進的國家、社會中,也會淡淡說一句:「放輕鬆」給別人聽。只是說者無心、聽者有意,我想我必定曾經因為 「放輕鬆」這三字得罪過一些人,真是罪過。 尤有甚者,在自我解嘲的過程當中如果在文明世界裡面過久,我也會忘記「 放輕鬆」這三個字,自己給自己找碴,找 碴找到後來才發現真是何苦如此!!!像村長夫人一樣笑一笑,搖搖手,不就得了嗎?!     妳說及的教室內的衝突,也讓我想到,當我初初返回中、小學現場時,最令我訝異的妳知道是什麼嗎 ?     小學生們的訝異。     小學生們訝異什麼呢 ?     小學...
