成長需要奮鬥：

破繭而出的奮鬥歷程是成長必要的養分 

The strugglr is the way!

有一個人發現了一隻蝴蝶的繭。有一天，一個小洞出現了。當蝴蝶努力地迫使它的身體穿過那個小洞時，他看到並觀察了幾個小時。然後它似乎停止任何進展。似乎它已經走到了盡頭，再也走不了了。因此，這個人決定幫助蝴蝶。

他用剪刀剪開了繭。蝴蝶隨即出現。但是它有一個腫脹的身體和瘦小的翅膀。這個人繼續看蝴蝶，因為他希望蝴蝶身體會逐漸縮小，翅膀會長大和伸展。但是，都沒發生！實際上，蝴蝶的餘生都以腫脹的身體和彎曲的翅膀爬行。

蝴蝶從未飛過。這個人出於仁慈和匆忙，他不明白的是，限制蝴蝶破繭而出所需的掙扎是自然界迫使蝴蝶體內的液體進入翅膀的方式。一旦脫離繭，它將準備飛行。

有時候，奮鬥正是我們生活中所需要的。如果我們沒有任何障礙地度過一生，那將會削弱我們。我們不會變堅強。永遠無法飛！

Sometimes we need the struggle : (2020.04.25)

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He saw and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gone as far as it could and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.

It was never able to fly. What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were nature s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we went through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!

與自己對話 - 永不放棄 

If you fall behind, run faster. 

Never give up ,never surrender 

and rise up against the odds.

 如果落後，請運行得更快。 永不放棄，永不屈服，勇往直前。

一直以來，一直在掙扎，實際上已經在紮根

you must never give up – instead, you need to rise as high as you can!

沒關係，現在您的生活正在發生什麼，您必須閱讀此短篇小說。

這是一個關於一個決定辭掉工作，人際關係和靈性的男人的短篇小說。但是在此之前，他向上帝徵求了意見。

“我有一天醒來，像往常一樣經歷了這一天，當時我突然想退出一切，包括工作，人際關係和靈性。在那之前，我去與上帝做最後的談話，問他是否可以給我至少一個為什麼不放棄這一切的理由。”

我繼續…。 “在第三年，竹子仍然一無所有。但是，我不會辭職。第四年，竹子再也沒有了。我不會放棄。然後在第五年，地球上出現了一個小小的新芽。與蕨類植物相比，它看上去很小而且微不足道……但是僅僅六個月後，竹子就升到了100英尺高。它花了五年的時間紮根。這些根源使它變得強大，並賦予它生存所需的東西。我不會給我的任何創作帶來無法解決的挑戰。”

然後上帝問...。 “孩子，您知道嗎，一直以來，您一直在掙扎，實際上已經在紮根。我不會放棄竹子。我永遠不會放棄你。他補充說：“別把自己比作別人。竹子的用途不同於蕨類植物。但是它們都使森林變得美麗。你的時光來了，你會變得更高。”

我問他：“我應該升高多高？”上帝回答：“竹子將升高多高？”

我感到困惑，回答：“盡可能高嗎？”上帝說：“是的。通過盡可能地高高來給我榮耀。”

經過這次不尋常的交談後，我回家寫了這個故事，讓您知道上帝愛您，永不放棄您，所以您絕不能放棄-相反，您需要盡可能地提高自己！

I reading stories every day.This today's story , I feeling I must continue rise English ability.

The Bamboo and The Fern

No Matter What’s Happening in Your Life Right Now, You Must Read This Short Story.

This is an amazing short story about a man who decided to quit his job, relationship and spirituality. But before it, he asked for advice from God.

“I woke up one day and went through it as usual, when I felt the sudden urge to quit everything – my job, my relationship and my spirituality. Before that, I went to have a final talk with God and asked him if he can give me at least one reason why not to quit it all."

I continued…. “In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But, I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit. Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant…But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

Then God asked…. “Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots. I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don’t compare yourself to others," he added. “The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come. You will rise high".

“How high should I Rise?" I asked him, and God replied: “How high will the bamboo rise?"

Confused, I answered: “As high as it can?" and God said: “Yes. Give Me glory by rising as high as you can."

After this unusual conversation I went home and wrote this story to let you know that God loves you and will never quit on you, so you must never give up – instead, you need to rise as high as you can!"

不爭對錯 承擔責任

I am taking responsibility for all of my results

不爭對錯，而是承擔責任，說起來容易，做起來難，

但是值得用一生來學習；

如此生活可以像倒吃甘蔗；生命可以更精彩。

附近有兩個家庭。一個家庭在不斷爭吵，而另一個家庭則安靜而友好地生活。有一天，妻子告訴丈夫，嫉妒鄰居的相處得很好……去鄰居那裡看看他們在做什麼，以維持自己的幸福。

丈夫走了，藏起來，開始看。他看到一個正在打掃地板的女人。突然有些事分散了她的注意力，她跑到了廚房。當時，她的丈夫衝進了房間。他沒有注意到那桶水，而是踢了一下水，把水灑在了地板上。

他的妻子從廚房回來，對他說...對不起，親愛的！我的錯。我沒有把水桶移開。

丈夫回答...不，對不起，親愛的！是我的錯，因為我沒有注意到。

該男子返回家中，他的妻子問他是否知道他們的秘密。

我認為不同之處在於，我們總是爭論對錯，而他們則尋求承擔責任。

建立和平關係意味著對我們自己承擔個人責任。

Taking Responsibility :(2020.04.23)

Two families lived nearby. One family was constantly fighting while the other one lived quietly and friendly. One day, feeling jealous about how nicely the neighboring family got along, the wife told her husband….Go to the neighbors and look to see what they are doing for their well-being.

The husband went, hid and began watching. He saw a woman who was cleaning the floor. Suddenly something distracted her and she ran to the kitchen. At that time, her husband rushed into the room. Not noticing the bucket of water, he kicked it and spilled water all over the floor.

His wife came back from the kitchen and said to him…I’m sorry, honey! It’s my fault. I didn’t move the bucket out of the way.

The husband replied…No, I’m sorry, honey! It’s my fault, because I did not notice it.

The man returned home and his wife asked him if he found out what their secret is.

I think the difference is that we always seek to be right, while they seek to take responsibility for their part.

Having peaceful relationships mean taking personal responsibility for our own part.

生命的意義

I'm much more me when i'm with you 

The purpose of life is to discover you gift.

The work of life is to develop it.

The meaning of life is to give your gift away.

生活的意義與生命的哲學，在很多時候都是圍繞身邊，看似理所當然而不知珍惜；

但是，當環境變遷，或面臨危機或轉折時，猛然回頭，原來幸福就在周遭，

珍惜現在與擁有就是幸福，為自己添柴火，讓自己的光芒展現!

不要將時間浪費在您不喜歡的工作上。很明顯，您無法成功完成自己不喜歡的事情。只有當您熱愛自己的工作時，耐心，熱情和奉獻才能輕鬆實現。

害怕別人的意見很愚蠢。恐懼會削弱和使您癱瘓。如果您放任自流，它會變得越來越糟，直到您一無所有，只有自己的外殼。聽您內心的聲音並接受它有些人可能稱您為瘋子，但有些人甚至認為您是傳奇。

掌控自己的生活。對您發生的事情承擔全部責任。限制不良習慣並嘗試過健康的生活。尋找讓您快樂的運動。最重要的是，不要拖延。讓您的生活取決於您所做的決定，而不是您沒有做出的決定。

欣賞你周圍的人。您的朋友和親戚將永遠是力量和愛的無限源泉。因此，您不應該將它們視為理所當然。

對於這些簡單的實現的重要性，我很難完全表達自己的看法，但我希望您能聽聽經驗豐富的人的心聲。我不會感到沮喪，因為我知道人生的最後階段變得有意義。

我僅感到遺憾的是，我將看不到很多很酷的東西，比如AI或下一個很棒的項目Elon Musks的創建將很快發生。我也希望敘利亞戰爭烏克蘭將很快結束。我們非常關心身體的健康和完整性，直到死亡，我們才注意到，身體不過是一個盒子，而是一個向我們傳達個性，思想，信念和意圖的包裹。

如果此框中沒有任何東西可以改變世界，那麼消失不重要。我相信我們都有潛力，但要實現這一潛力還需要很大的勇氣。您可以在由環境造成的生活中漂流，日復一日，小時復刻。或者，您可以為自己的信念而戰，並寫下自己人生中的精彩故事。希望您會做出正確的選擇。

在這個世界上留下印記。擁有有意義的生活，無論它對您有什麼定義。走向它我們要離開的地方是一個美麗的遊樂場，在那裡一切皆有可能。但是，我們不會永遠存在。在這個美麗的小星球上，我們的生命是短暫的火花，它以驚人的速度陷入未知宇宙無盡的黑暗中。因此，在這裡盡情享受您的時間。使它有趣。讓它計數！

 a meaningful life

Don’t waste your time on work that you don’t enjoy. It is obvious that you cannot succeed in something that you don’t like. Patience, passion and dedication come easily only when you love what you do.

It’s stupid to be afraid of others’ opinions. Fear weakens and paralyzes you. If you let it, it can grow worse and worse every day until there is nothing left of you, but a shell of yourself. Listen to your inner voice and go with it Some people may call you crazy, but some may even think you're a legend.

Take control of your life. Take full responsibility for the things that happen to you. Limit bad habits and try to lead a healthier life. Find a sport that makes you happy. Most of all, don’t procrastinate. Let your life be shaped by decisions you made, not by the ones you didn’t.

Appreciate the people around you. Your friends and relatives will always be an infinite source of strength and love. That is why you shouldn’t take them for granted.

It is difficult for me to fully express my feelings about the importance of these simple realizations, but I hope that you will listen to someone who has experienced how valuable time is. I’m not upset because I understand that the last days of my life have become meaningful.

I only regret that I will not be able to see a lot of cool stuff that should happen soon like the creation of AI or Elon Musks next awesome project. I also hope that the war in Syria and Ukraine will end soon. We care so much about the health and integrity of our body that until death, we don’t notice that the body is nothing more than a box - a parcel for delivering our personality, thoughts, beliefs and intentions to this world.

If there is nothing in this box that can change the world, then it doesn’t matter if it disappears. I believe that we all have potential, but it also takes a lot of courage to realize it. You can float through a life created by circumstances, missing day after day, hour after hour. Or, you can fight for what you believe in and write the great story of your life. I hope you will make the right choice.

Leave a mark in this world. Have a meaningful life, whatever definition it has for you. Go towards it The place we are leaving is a beautiful playground, where everything is possible. Yet, we are not here forever. Our life is a short spark in this beautiful little planet that mess with incredible speed to the endless darkness of the unknown universe. So, enjoy your time here with passion. Make it interesting. Make it count!

環境塑造人

Why inspiration matters, inspiring environments, inspiring people. 

It shapes you as a person.

 Your environment shapes your success.

為什麼啟發很重要，啟發環境，啟發人們。 

它塑造你一個人。 

您的環境決定著您的成功。

近朱者赤 ，近墨者黑，

環境會改變一個人，

所以自古以來有孟母三遷的故事，

無非是在良好的環境中，讓孩子可以學習好的文化，

人類如此，生物界亦然，藉此寓言故事，再次增強此一概念。

兩隻鸚鵡在一棵榕樹上築巢。母鸚鵡在巢中產了兩個雞蛋。一段時間後，雞蛋被鎖住了。有兩隻小雞從他們身上出來。親鳥照顧好他們。幾週後，幼鴿便能夠飛一些距離。

鳥的父親說：“我們照顧好年幼的孩子。我們也餵飽了他們。他們一起玩。他們學會了飛行。現在他們可以照顧自己。讓我們慢慢讓他們自己決定。”

每天早上，親鳥飛出去為幼鴿取食。然後他們在晚上帶回來的食物帶給年幼的孩子。這是他們的生活持續了一段時間。

一位獵人看到了這些鳥的這種行為。他得知老鳥在早上離開。他決定在母鴿離開後抓幼鴿。按照計劃，他抓到了幼鴿。幼鴿竭盡全力使自己擺脫獵人的魔掌。兩隻幼鳥中的一隻逃脫了獵人。另一隻鳥被獵人關在籠子裡到他家。

“我抓到了兩隻小鳥。獵人對他的孩子們說，但我丟了一隻鸚鵡。他又給孩子們補充說：“把這只鸚鵡安全地關在籠子裡，然後玩這只鸚鵡。”

獵人的孩子們在玩鸚鵡。很快，獵人家中的鸚鵡學會了說幾句話。孩子們對父親說：“爸爸，我們的鸚鵡學會了說幾句話。”

另一隻鸚鵡飛走了。它從獵人那裡逃脫了。它飛了一段時間。然後來到了偏僻寺院。一些聖人住在偏僻寺院。他們對幼鸚鵡沒有任何傷害。小鸚鵡呆在那裡。它聽了他們的談話。它學會了說幾句話。

某個旅行者正走在獵人的小屋附近。他很累。他坐在小屋裡。他聽到鸚鵡說話。它說：“傻瓜，你為什麼要來這裡？我會割喉。”

旅行者很遺憾聽到這樣的壞話。他立刻站起來。他著急離開了這個地方。然後他走了一段時間到達了偏僻寺院。鸚鵡坐在偏僻寺院附近的一棵樹上。

鸚鵡說：“歡迎光臨，旅行者。歡迎來到這個偏僻寺院。我們在這個森林裡有很多好水果。吃任何你喜歡的。聖潔的人會很好地對待你。”

旅行者很驚訝。他對鸚鵡說。 “我在獵人小屋附近遇到了一隻小鸚鵡。說不禮貌的話。我立刻離開了那個地方。現在我遇見了你。你說好話。你的話很客氣。你和其他鳥都是鸚鵡。那為什麼會有這種語言上的差異呢？”

通過這個陳述，在偏僻寺院裡的鸚鵡猜到了另一隻鸚鵡就是它的兄弟。寄居鸚鵡說：“旅行者，另一隻鸚鵡是我的兄弟。但是我們生活在兩個不同的地方。我兄弟學了獵人的語言。但是我學會了聖潔的人的語言。是塑造您的言行的公司。”

好的公司可以幫助您學習好東西。糟糕的公司會使您變得糟透了。

Good Company and Bad Company

This Short Story Good Company and Bad Company is quite interesting to all the people. Enjoy reading this story.

Two parrots had built their nest on a banyan tree. The female parrot laid two eggs in the nest. After sometime, the eggs latched. Two chicks came out of them. The parent birds took good care of them. After few weeks, the young birds were able to fly for some distances.

The father bird said, “We have taken good care of our young ones. We have fed them well too. They have played together. They have learned to fly. Now they can take care of themselves. Let us slowly leave them to decide on their own."

Every morning the parent birds flew out to fetch food for the young birds. Then they returned in the evening with food for their young children. This was their lives went on for a while.

A hunter saw this behavior of these birds. He learned that the old birds went out in the morning. He decided to catch the young birds after the old birds would go away in the morning. As planned he caught the young birds. The young birds struggled their best to free themselves from the clutches of the hunter. One of the two young birds escaped from the hunter. The other bird was taken in a cage by the hunter to his house.

“I caught tow birds. But I lost one parrot," said the hunter to his children. And he further added to his children, “Keep this parrot safely in the cage and play with this parrot."

The hunter’s children played with the parrot. Very soon the parrot in the house of the hunter learnt to speak few words. The children said to their father, “Dad, our parrot has learnt to say a few words."

The other parrot flew away. It had escaped from the hunter. It flew for some time. Then it came to a hermitage. Some holy men lived in the hermitage. They did not do any harm to the young parrot. The young parrot stayed there. It listened to their talk. It learnt to say a few words.

A certain traveler was walking near the hunter’s hut. He was tires. He sat nest the hut. He heard the parrot speak. It said, “Fool, why have you come here? I will cut your throat."

The traveler was very sorry to hear such bad words. He got up immediately. He left the place in a hurry. Then he walked for some time and reached the hermitage. The parrot was sitting on a tree near the hermitage.

The parrot spoke, “Welcome, traveler. Welcome to this hermitage. We have a lot of good fruits in this forest. Eat whatever you like. The holy men will treat you well."

The traveler was surprised. He said to the parrot. “I met a young parrot near a hunter’s hut. It spoke badly. I left the place immediately. Now I have met you. You speak so well. Your words are kind and gentle. Both you and the other birds are parrots. Then why this difference in your language is there?"

By this statement, the parrot in the hermitage guessed that the other parrot was none other than its brother. The hermitage parrot said, “Traveler, the other parrot is my brother. But we have lived in two different places. My brother has learnt the hunter’s language. But I have learnt the language of holy people. It is the company that shapes your words and deeds."

Good company helps you learn good things. Bad company makes you lean bad things.

珍惜每一分鐘

CORVID-19 蔓延，全球陷入危機，有些 國家因醫療資源不足，對於年長者放棄救治，讓其終止生命。今日閱讀此文，這是及時的教訓

。

當一個有錢人退休時，死亡天使來到他身邊，他努力工作獲得巨額財富，不敢相信自己的時光已到。他非常有錢，決定不惜一切代價向死亡天使購買更多時間。他花很長時間討價還價，但天使無動於衷。

絕望的是，有錢人向天使提出了最後一個建議。。。給我一小時，這樣我就可以最後一次欣賞地球的美麗，與我的家人和朋友度過一段時光見了很久，我會給你我所有的財富。但是天使再次拒絕了。最後，那個人問天使是否可以給他至少一分鐘的時間，以便他可以寫再見信。他的願望實現了，他寫了便條……。

建議您「以正確的方式運用您的時間，我無法以財富買到一小時的時間。傾聽您的內心，檢查身邊的事物是否具有真正的價值。珍惜每一個一分鐘。」

Go By Heart : Cherish every minute of your life

This brought me to tears. What a powerful lesson on time.

A rich man was retiring when an angel of death came to him. He had worked long and hard to acquire massive wealth and retire in luxury, and could not believe that his time was up. Being a very wealthy person, he decided to buy some more time from the angel of death at any cost. He bargained for a long time but the angel was unmoved.

Desperate, the rich man made the last proposal to the angel… Give me just one hour of my life, so that I could admire the beauty of this earth for the last time and spend some time with my family and friends whom I haven't seen for a long time and I will give you all of my wealth. But the angel refused again. Finally, the man asked if the angel could give him at least one minute so that he could write a goodbye note. His wish was granted and he wrote a note….

"Spend your time, which was given to you, in the right way. I couldn't buy even an hour of life with all of my wealth. Listen to your heart and check if the things surrounding you have a true value. Cherish every minute of your life."

鄉野醫生開啟王者之聲的傳奇

面對問題只有想法是不夠的，要完整的論述出來，並且在別人的批評與指教中進行修正與補強，才能讓自己的想法更為穩定與精緻。

在人生路上要努力做自己生命中的哲學家，為自己思考，為自己的問題找一個心安的答案。經常思辨，可以在思考過程中，享受豁然開朗的喜悅，並且在每次論述自己的想法時，就會對自己的立場與堅持充滿自信與喜樂。

英國女王伊莉莎白二世看到為新冠肺炎COVID-19重創英國，以93高齡，為穩定民心，在四月五日發表特別演說，為英國人民加油打氣，並感謝醫護人員的付出。

全世界都在對抗這種疾病，如何戰勝他，是全球面臨的功課，目前看來" Stay Home"，戴口罩，保持安全距離，都是必要的措施，些許不方便，在疫苗藥劑都未發現前，這也是阻隔疫情最好的方法。

女王以第二次世界大戰時的經驗，呼籲英國人堅毅團結。二戰開打，當時英國國王喬治六世，是伊莉莎白的父親，他從小就罹患口吃，不擅長公眾演說，後來找到澳洲籍的語言治療師羅格，成功改善口吃。並在第二次世界大戰爆發第二天，向英國國民發表堅鏗的演說，鼓舞英國軍民。

有口吃問題的喬治六世(George VI) ，跟一位來自澳洲，沒有醫生執照的民間語言治療師萊諾、羅格(Lionel Logue) 之間，一段發生在英國皇室跟平民之間還有巨大隔閡的年代，跨越了皇室與平民之間的禮俗規範，由一位平凡的鄉野無照醫生，透過他獨特的治療手法，治癒了英皇喬治六世的口吃，讓他從上一次公開演講的失敗陰影中走出，成功地發表了上任後第一次的公開演講，電影「王者之聲」 The King's Speech 中的Speech  是雙關語 ，既代表著「演講」的涵義，也有指國王「說話能力』的暗喻。

看到這報導，也讓我想起了中醫、西醫的隔閡，在一個潛在概念裡，西醫是科學的分析、實驗；中醫是民俗，非科學，但是保健和救急，應該是相輔相成的，一個鄉野無照的醫生，能治癒國王的口吃，他不只是故事，更是歷史存在的事實，我想民俗療法有其價值，應予發揚!

不要浪費您的精力

談話要切入重點

Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions do your thing

 and don't care if they life it.

談話三個重點

第一個是真相。

第二個是善良。

第三個是有用性。

在古希臘，蘇格拉底因為擁有很高深的知識受到尊敬。

有一天，一個熟識的人說：“我剛剛聽到關於你朋友的消息”

“等一下，”蘇格拉底回答，“在和我談論我的朋友之前，花點時間篩選您要說的內容可能是個好主意。這就是為什麼我將其稱為三重過濾測試。第一個過濾是真相。您是否絕對確定要告訴我的內容是真的？”

男人說：“嗯，不，實際上我只是聽說了，然後……”

“好吧，”蘇格拉底說，“所以，你真的不知道它是否正確。現在，讓我們嘗試第二個要點，善良。你要告訴我關於我朋友的事情是件好事嗎？”

“不，相反……”朋友說。

蘇格拉底繼續說道：“您想告訴我有關我朋友的一些壞消息，但您不確定這是真的。”

“儘管如此，您仍然可以通過測試，因為還剩下一個過濾器-有用性過濾器。您想告訴我關於我的朋友對我有用嗎？”

“不，不是真的。”

“嗯……。”蘇格拉底總結道。

“如果你想告訴我的東西既不是真實的，也不是好東西，甚至是有用的，那為什麼要告訴我呢？”

“不要浪費時間閒聊會浪費您的精力，閒聊的人以及您告訴的人……”

34.Do not waste your energy:

Triple filter test

The first filter is Truth.

The second filter is Goodness.

The third filter is Usefulness.

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem.

One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"

"Hold on a minute," Socrates replied, "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"Well, no," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and…"

"All right," said Socrates, "So, You really did not know if it’s true or not. Now, let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"

“No, on the contrary..." said the friend.

Socrates continued, “You want to tell me something bad about my friend, but you’re not certain it’s true."

“You may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter left - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really…."

“Well…." Concluded Socrates....

"If what you want to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"

“Do not waste time gossiping kills your energy, the people you are gossiping about and the people you are telling it to…"
