把想法化為行動

禪的生活

把想法變成行動

2013.01.01

新年伊始，2013年已來到，回顧過往人生，展望來年，希望能翱翔世界，勇闖天涯，爲自己的興趣與志業，再次精進，有所貢獻。

希望帶領自己翱翔世界，「登高望遠，方知山外有山；振翅翱翔，方知天外有天」。培養勇闖天涯的冒險心，因為如果真有世界末日，才不會後悔沒有看過世界。

對我來說：學習不只是學習，學習是投資時間，學習快樂，種下對未來的希望。



Turn my inspiration into action

The beginning of the new year, 2013 has come, recalling a past life, Looking forward to the coming year, soaring world, Globe Trekker, again for their own interest and professional sophisticated contribute

Leads myself to the top of the world. The only way to see the greatest peak is to climb high enough ; The only way to reach the highest sky is to fly far enough. I have to energize ourselves to have a taste for adventure. If the end of the world, wouldn’t regret having missed the opportunity to see the world.

For me: Learning is not just learning, but investing our time, reaching for inner strength, and planting seeds of hope.


開春閱讀星雲大師「禪的生活」一文(聯合報，2013.01.01)，感受到禪與生活的意境，幽默、風趣、美感、豁達與活力，看似無為卻有為，在真心本性中自己要去品味、體悟，心中有禪，來去自如！
摘錄精華，是為2013年伊始，給自己的勉勵與指引：

生活中有禪，吃飯，飯的味道會不一樣；穿衣，衣著的美感會不一樣……

禪是一種幽默，一種風趣，在禪的世界裡，沒有值得傷感、計較的事情。禪是無形無相，卻無所不在、無所不遍的，是我們的真心本性，是要我們自己體會，自己覺悟。

禪像什麼？禪，就好像我們煮一道菜，在菜裡放一點鹽，放一點調味料，就會更好吃；禪，就好像我們在客廳、房間裡懸掛一幅畫，擺放一盆花，氣氛就會變得不一樣。禪，像空手的拳頭，手一放鬆，拳頭就沒有了。

人有了定力，才能人忙心不忙；人生有一點禪定，才會感覺安樂、放曠、解脫。一個人心中有禪，逍遙自在、來去自如！

Happy New Year and Wish 2013

Love After Love

The time will come

When, with elation,

I will greet myself arriving 

at my own door, in my own mirror, 

and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

And say, sit here . Eat. 

I will love again the stranger who was my self. 

Give wine. Give bread. Give back my heart 

to itself, to the stranger who has loved me

all my life, whom my ignored

for another, who knows me by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, 

the photographs, the desperate notes,

 peel my own image from the mirror. 

Sit . Feast on my life.

 --Derek Walcott    -德里克·沃爾科特

迎接愛的到來

時間將到

當興高采烈

迎接自己到來

在真實與鏡中

對方微笑迎接

告訴自己 在這裡 富足

你會再度貢獻自己

奉獻你的心力，再度燃燒熱情

把心力獻給他，有緣人 

你所有的生活，未曾有過

 另一個，知道你的內涵

從書架取下愛的訊息

照片，渴望的小紙條

脫下鏡子中自己的形象

迎接生活盛宴

Cheers to a new year and another chance for me to get it right

Wish my family a joyful, bright, healthy, prosperous and happiest new year ahead !

Shopping and Me

 

I don’t go shopping often, but I like shopping the same each women. I go shopping for clothes or accessories like earrings and shoes and bags. Some people like shopping with friends, but I like shopping alone. I spend more time looking at things and I can buy when I’m alone. My favorite shopping place is department store. There are clothing and accessories downtown. I like it because department store is beautiful and have many goods.

I like to go shopping on Sunday because I have more time then. I don’t buy things on the internet. I like to see things before I buy them.

I like shopping and I more like look around department store.

 

Global Language

 

English is a global language. It is the first language in about 36 countries. Example, some countries are : the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada , Australia….About 340million people speak English as their first language.

The number one language in the world is Chinese. A billion people speak Chinese. But English is the number one foreign language. There are about a billion English students around the world!

The English pronunciation must the same?  In the different English speaking countries, there are differences in pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary, and grammar. Sometimes there are differences within the same country. For example, in the United States, people in New York speak differently from the people in Texas.

When people speak English, they choose between British English and American English. People in Malaysia usually learning British English. People in the Philippines usually learn American English.

Therefor, language makes communicate, British English or American English are use for connect each other .

昂首前進

    非學無以廣才，非志無以成學，外面的世界何其多彩，人生的經歷需要豐富和多元，高中、國中、小學校長經歷，印證學海無涯，遨遊四方，全方位辦學，以及主持國外國際學校的經驗，更加體悟優質國際學校不只是用全美語教國際課程而已，而是要讓學生融入歐美學風與制度，真正理解西方文化，能隨時與世界名校無縫接軌。

    沒有輸入就無法輸出，多吸收資訊與知識，才能拓寬自己的知識面，言談才能引人入勝，自是「「腹有詩書氣自華」，經歷多了，眼界開了，心胸變得越來越寬廣。學習  帶領自己翱翔世界！

Above and Beyond

Above and Beyond

願景的力量

Good character is about knowing the good, loving the good, and doing the good.

 First , knowing the good includes coming to understand good and evil. It means

developing the ability to sum up a situation, deliberate , choose the right thing to

do ,and then do it. Aristotle called this practical wisdom. But practical wisdom is not

just about time management ; it is about prioritizing and choosing well in all spheres

of life. It is about the ability to make wise commitments and keep them.

Second, Loving the good means developing a full range of moral feelings and emotions, including a love for the good and contempt for evil, as well as capacity to empathize with others.

Third, doing the good means that after thoughtful consideration of all the circumstances and relevant facts, we have the will to act.

Sow a thought and you reap an act;

Sow an act and you reap a habit:

Sow a habit and you reap a character:

Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

思想引導行動

行動養成習慣

習慣陶冶品格

品格決定命運

So I think : Abilities need to be developed and honed; flaws must be identified and systematically reduced.(能力需要琢磨和發展；缺點需要發現和矯正)And a question: How do you get to Carnegie Hall? This is a only answer:  Practice! Practice! Practice!

But effort and practice alone don’t make a fine art, though. The artist needs a vision, a standard of perfection toward which he or she aims all this effort.要成為完美的藝術家，只有努力和練習是不夠的，他還需要願景和完美的標準，朝目標努力。
