猛然地又勾起我對那段短短的遙遠他鄉生活的記憶

Believe in Yourself
in the power you have
to control your own life, day by day,
Believe in the strength
that you have deep inside,
and your faith will help
show you the way.
Believe in tomorrow
and what it will bring--
let a hopeful heart carry you through,
For things will work out
if you trust and believe
there's no limit
to what you can do.
~Emily Matthews~
Don't Look Back
As you travel through life there are always those times
when decisions just have to be made; when the choices are hard,
and solutions seem scarce and the rain seems to soak your parade!
There are some situations where all you can do is to simply
let go and move on, gather courage together and choose a direction
that carries you toward a new dawn.
So pack up your troubles and take a step forward.
The process of change can be tough but think about all
the excitement ahead if you can be stalwart enough!
There could be adventures you never imagined just waiting
around the next bend and wishes and dreams
just about to come true
in ways you can't yet comprehend!
Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new interests
as you challenge your status quo
and learn there are so many options in life,
and so many ways you can grow!
Perhaps you'll go places you never expected and see things
that you've never seen or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
and wonderful spots in between!
Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring
a "somebody special" who's there to help you stay centered
and listen with interest to stories and feelings you share.
Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends are supportive
of all that you do and believe that whatever decisions you make,
they'll be the right choices for you!
So keep putting one foot in front of the other
and taking your life day by day. There's a brighter tomorrow
that's just down the road.
Don't look back!!!
You're not going that way!

2008夏 再遊北海道-情書
You Are Worthy
Do not undermine your worth
by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different
that each of us is special.
Do not set your goals
by what other people deem important
Only you knowwhat is best for you.
Do not take for granted
the things closest to your heart
Cling to them as you would your life
for without them
life is meaningless
Do not let your life
by living in the past
nor for the future
By living your life one day at a time
you live all the days of your life
Do not give up
when you still have something to give
Nothing is really over
until the moment you stop trying
It is a fragile thread
that binds to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks
It is by taking chances
that we learn how to be
Do not shut love out of your life
by saying it is impossible to find
The quickest way to receive love
is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love
is too hold it too tightly;
In addition,
the best way to keep love
is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams
is to be without hope;
To be without hope
is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life
so fast that you forget
not only where you have been,
but also where you are going
Life is not a race,
but a journey
to be savored
each step of the way

Everything Happens for a Reason
Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away,
that they were meant to be there...
to serve some sort of purpose,
teach you a lesson
or help you figure out who you are
or who you want to become.
You never know
who these people may be
but when you lock eyes with them,
you know that very moment that
they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you
at the time that may seem horrible,
painful and unfair,
but in reflection, you realize
that without overcoming those obstacles,
you would have never realized your
potential, strength, will power, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance
or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love,
lost moments of true greatness
and sheer stupidity, all occur
to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests,
life would be like a smoothly paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere.
Safe and comfortable
but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet affect your life.
The successes and down
falls that you experience,
can create who you are
and the bad experiences,
can be learned from.
In fact,
they are probably the most
poignant and important ones.
If someone hurts you,
betrays you or breaks your heart,
forgive them
because they have helped you learn
about trust and the importance of being cautious
to whom you open your heart to.
If someone loves you,
love them back unconditionally,
not only because they love you,
but because they are teaching you to love,
and open your heart and eyes to little things.
Make every day count.
Appreciate every moment,
and take from it, everything that you possibly can,
for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before,
and actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love,
break free, and set your sights high.
Hold your head up
because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual
and believe in yourself,
for if you don't believe in yourself,
no one else will believe in you.
You can make of your life anything you wish.
Create your own life and then go out and live it
with absolutely no regrets.
Most importantly,
if you love someone tell them,
for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
And learn a lesson in life each day you live.

2008夏 再遊北海道-依舊
距離上次北海道的初體驗已過了十年 也是我第一次的日本之行
已想不起當時是怎樣的心情 只記得繞了大半的北海道
看到了大片大片的薰衣草原 和那傳說中的厄霍次克海
而這次首站依舊是層雲峽 兩道記憶中沒怎麼變的瀑布依舊傾瀉而下
空氣中依舊是屬於北海道的涼意 標示牌前依舊是排排站照相的日本觀光客
而我也依舊拿著相機拍了幾張到此一遊照
一切只感覺熟悉 沒有其他旅程中初到某地的驚喜
十年 感覺好像應該變了很多 似乎好像又什麼都沒變

2008夏 再遊北海道-序曲
光芒3:1破紅襪 晉級世界大賽
電視播放著光芒力克紅襪 隊史首度搶下世界大賽門票的新聞
心裡沒有太過複雜情緒反應 卻想著在那我曾待了五個星期城市裡
每次紅襪贏球時開心大叫的人們 此刻的心情應該是down到谷底的.JPG)
每每看到紅襪隊 腦海就浮現那年夏天在Boston的日子
想起Fenway Park球賽舉行時 人潮由地鐵站出來湧向球場的畫面
想起困在宿舍裡準備報告 卻不時望著球場 猜想現在是第幾局的樣子
想起終場傳來的開心叫喊或寂靜散場 自己也跟著高興或失望的情緒
想起雖然我是紅襪死對頭洋基的球迷 卻希望紅襪能在主場獲勝的心情
想起那年 有關Boston 有關Red Sox 盛夏回憶 點點滴滴 久久不散

依舊滿滿的感動
趁著週日午後整理相簿 瀏覽一張張這兩年來幫你們照的相片
此刻 我靜靜回想著當時你們抱回冠軍的畫面 感動依舊滿滿
腦海裡的回憶滿滿 心中的感動也是滿滿
尤其這兩張你們在二年級大隊接力上場前熱身照給我的感觸最深
一年級運動會大夥全力求勝卻在最後一刻因犯規而失去獎牌
於是你們立下決心一定要在二年級時把冠軍留在20班
明瞭你們的好勝 讚賞你們的鬥志 卻不敢抱著過多的期待
深怕宣布結果的那一刻 我比你們任何人都失望
因為看著你們自動自發練習 一次又一次地衝得比前一次更快
即使知道參與的過程應該比結果更值得珍惜
但我卻比任何人期待你們的努力有對等的結果

難忘的初秋之旅
這是你們在國中最後一次全班出遊 儘管旅遊的地點都去過了
我仍從你們臉上燦爛的笑意看到對這次旅行滿滿的期待
而刻意的裝扮則好像迫不及待地昭告大家--我長大了成熟了
我沒說什麼 但思緒卻摻雜著你們國一、國二時天真稚嫩的樣子
但你們歡樂之餘的舉動卻令我比之前出遊難忘且感動
有些幫忙整理行李 有些默默照顧病痛的伙伴
有些在隊伍前頭引導 有些自動壓隊提醒大家
雖然仍有些小狀況出現 我卻放心地交由你們自己處理
我不用再高聲叫喊著要你們注意這個 小心那個
因為 我知道這兩年多來你們真的學到了很多 你們真的長大了
這是你們的畢業旅行 卻也是我開始準備放手讓你們高飛的時候
我相信這三天是會在你們這一生中留下些什麼的
而我也知道 當我以後帶著另一群孩子畢業旅行時
我會想起三個天真的女孩在九族等著占卜的神情
我會想起查房時四個大男生拿棉被蓋住PSII的情景
我會想起大家在遊覽車上瘋狂唱歌的樣子
我會想起旅程末端一群人感性流淚的畫面
我會想起我如何在那一番感謝言語中忍住眼淚的心情

「成功是一把梯子,雙手插在口袋裡是爬不上去的。--靜思語」雖然每人的目標不同,對成功的渴望我想應該每人都有,很多人總是在事情一開始時,滿懷決心充滿鬥志,但也卻總有很多人在未達成功的那點時,因多種不可預期的因素,就放棄了,孩子,這是你人生的重要一關,最後的結果取決於你的態度與作為,我相信你們最初的決心,但請別忘了隨時提醒自己堅持下去!還有,讓老師們知道你的問題所在,這樣我們才能找出方法來幫你! 10/06/2008

最近看到群聯總經理潘建成的專訪,他是馬來西亞隻身來台求學的第三代華僑,從小家境並不富裕,但他卻與其他四個平均年齡只有三十歲、交大電機控制系畢業的學長、學弟創業開發出台灣第一支的隨身碟,即使創業過程並不順利,但他說:「我就是有一股不服輸的個性」,所以他成為新竹科學園區最年輕的創業家、台灣最年輕的股王。他曾說過:「今天做的好是因為昨天做了對的事。」他也曾對著台下聽他演講的人說:「當年在台下聽演講,以為台上的人如同神話。但他不是神話,只是專心把事情做好。」他認為「只要專心把事情做對,下一個站在台上的,會是那個願意堅持、願意奮鬥的人。」
很多時候,我們只看到別人風光成功的那面,但是往往深入瞭解才瞭解成功的背後是已付出好多難以想像的努力,但即使瞭解,卻不是每個看完故事的人都有如此相同的一番作為,那你呢?你覺得自己是那個看完故事便忘了情節的人,還是領略故事的內涵、記取教訓的人呢?今天成績單回條上,有位媽媽寫道:「辛苦一陣子總比辛苦一輩子好。」老師也許沒有辦法百分之一百保證要你那麼辛苦讀完一年之後將來一定賺大錢之類的,但這一段走過的人生一定會給你一些啟示,你從中學到的知識也好、常識概念也罷、或是努力堅持的精神、甚至面對挫折再站起來的經歷都好,一定會在你以後某段人生當中有些作用的,所以請不要輕易就放棄好嗎?更不要因為太累了,就選擇草率敷衍的態度來面對好嗎?
曾經有老師說,講義答案一定要收回來,否則學生一定不會自己完成,一定都是用抄的,即使多年的教書經驗告訴我那些話並沒錯,但我仍選擇相信你們不會如此依賴答案的,書是為自己念的,即使老師看到了你填了滿滿答案的講義又能如何?最後的結果,你終將自己承受不是嗎?謝依旻不到20歲,成為日本最強的棋王,風光的背後,累積著不間斷的練習。曾經想要放棄,父親不捨她飽受沈重壓力,說了一句:「一切決定在於自己。」讓她決定是否繼續棋藝之路。好強的謝依旻決定咬牙撐過,才有今日在日本的優異成績。那你呢?這一秒或下一刻你為自己做了怎樣的決定呢?
最近聯絡簿上我看到一段話,「原來19班的同學既是競爭的對手,也是一起努力的朋友、伙伴!」或許,這段時間你們當中還是有些人對彼此的作為有些誤會,正經歷所謂的磨合期,但請記得,多看看對方的優點,不要只想放大缺點,因為藉由學習對方的優點,也是讓我們自己更好的方法。19與20班的班風並不相同,所以誤會難免,我相信並期待你們找到合適的相處方法,希望每個人都能領略到上面那句話的意義。 07/30/2008
