翻山越嶺為哪樁
今天聽到這首The bear went over the mountain兒歌，節奏輕快，一再的重複，感受到小雄兒的用心，隨著旋律彷彿看到小熊努力賣著步伐，就是要竭盡所能翻越山嶺，滿足好奇心，到另外一邊看看，孩子們唱得興味盎然，也感染些許兒時記趣。
這是一首兒歌，歌詞即簡易，音節清晰，琅琅上口，小熊踏著輕快的步伐，既用心又賣力，向前邁進過程中，活力十足，憧憬著未知，正如歌詞中描述：「一隻熊極盡所能翻山越嶺，想要看到牠所能看到的景象；終於到了山的另一邊，看到牠所能看到的」。每個孩子都樂在其中，好一幅童趣畫面；轉身一想，這意境又何其深遠，費盡九牛二虎之力，攀爬、翻山越嶺，超越顛峰又到了山的另一邊，看到的新景象是：「牠看到另一隻熊，原來是牠的雙胞胎，牠們手牽著手一起去遊玩」。
這景象讓人想起人生的旅程，當年少時就像這一隻小熊兒，竭盡所能地攀爬，為了超越巔峰，探究未知的一面，這景像猶如我們常說的「三分天註定，七分靠努力」，努力以赴終將有成，這也是教育有著無限可能，是教育工作者的核心價值。
今天聽了錢校長一席話，人過中年如果還是想著「三分天注定，七分靠努力」那就太不實際了。應該倒過來「七分天注定，三分靠努力」，很多事冥冥中自有定數，天命可能主宰著人的一生，誰說沒道理？沒錯，人生如果分成三個時期，青年、壯年、老年，每個階段都有不同的天命，但是該從哪個時期來切割劃分？是因人而異的，這也是有的人是人生六十、七十才開始的豪邁，而有些人到此階段已垂垂老矣，端看自己的選擇與造化。
話說，人在不同的階段應有不同的思維，年輕時，像這隻小熊，努力以赴，充分探究；到後來，發現了山的另一邊是自己的雙胞胎，原來就在燈火闌珊處等著自己。至少牠是經過長途跋涉後終有所悟，努力也是有所得，不是嗎？
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see
To see what he could see
To see what he could see
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see
He found another bear there
He found another bear there
He found another bear there
Who could have been his twin
Who could have been his twin
Who could have been his twin
He found another bear there
He found another bear there
He found another bear there
And off they went to play
He found another bear there
And off they went to play
