"門派"
學校的選擇:先不提入學分數高低或是學費多寡,人們口中的"名校",其實也代表特定產業界的"門派"。特定科系的畢業生,若時間久了,在特定的業界-教育/醫療/大傳/法律/建築-因人數眾多,前後輩相互闗照的情形下,會形成所謂的"門派"。
舉例來說,有志於教育者,由師範大學起步,會在教育界獲得更多的助力。而竹科園區知名公司找工程師,是直接打電話到清華或交通大學,找學弟妹或找教授開名單。智力測驗/專業測驗/面談和身家調查?那些面試和資格審查全免,因為這些人,平時在學校,可能都曾是同實驗室的組員,彼此有什麼實力來歷和脾氣,彼此清清楚楚。
以未來的工作場所來看,問問自己,這個業界的主力選手們都來自那些"名校"?這個題目作的好,自然會讓你以後碰到願意提攜願意包容的學長姐,也少遇到不必要的挫折和排擠。同學們,以現在的低頭努力,挑個好學校,為自己找個好的起跑點和未來的高飛姿態。
換個角度來說,能納百川,方成大海;以後同學們若在業界裏遇上個落單的,可記得標準要齊一,別把"門派"的有色眼鏡帶上,以不同的標準苛求"非我族類"。
當人家問為什麼你可以開先例,別人要求照章為之時,可別回一句"那是以前的事(內含那種你算那號人物,敢要求和我名門子弟同起同坐的態度)。"
生命圖樣
考場內人人振筆疾書,他們身份各有不同-高中畢業生,大學生到碩士,乃至擁有博士學位者;有渾身潮牌衣著的青少年,不少中年人和幾位白髮長者,一同參加這個資格考試......感受?
目標明確又有強烈動機的,自然動作快速的到達自己想要的人生定位。生命給予的條件,人人不同;可是仍有人能善用機會,克服困難,明確規劃出藍圖,整齊拼出自己的生命圖樣。
你知道自己誰,未來的夢想是什麼,又如何鍛練,好成為最好最棒最完整的你嗎?
This license exam has broader demographics than others national exams that i have witnessed; young people as well as people well into their 50s, with high school diplomas to doctoral degrees, all attend this license exam.
If you have a clear idea of what you wanna be, certainly you will not linger here and there. We all have been given different qualities and challenges to begin this game of life. Some work hard and smart while others have a hard time grappling what is in front of them.
Do you know what you're made of, what your dream is and how to become the best of you? One thing is obvious: You won't get there, unless you know where you're going.

如此相互扞格
路很小很窄,車行不順,走走停停,有人按喇叭也改變不了路兩旁剛停好車的。看了看,這早餐店旁的大車小車,大部份都是要買早餐。那家電行前的小貨車,大喇喇停在那兒,好像要宣告自己的勢力範圍一樣。這街道兩旁堂皇放置的各式車輛,不論是臨停或長期的,在台灣各地應該都被視為理所當然了。
這舊街道據說是往日的交通要道,行人牛車往來不絶,兩旁的商家生意也很興旺;現在的老街道,看來是沒有規劃來回應現代的汽機車所形成的車流;兩旁的商店也似乎失去了往日的商機。
可惜....若有整體的規劃,若有恰當的執法,若有大家的配合,商家和消費者,用路人和行人,都能共同獲利,而非如此相互扞格。
Inside a maze
問他,何時失去了那份眼中對學習的光采? 何時失去那初進教室時,和同學舉手搶答的快樂....
"當學校的考卷功課和一切的一切,都是為了學測指考...在父母和老師的[好學校代表好出路]的教訓中,決定放掉心中最愛那一刻。
那個決定是安全的,那是孝順的,那是孺子可教的, 卻不知為何, 心中總覺得有個地方空了。 "
袛有標準答案的考卷, 容不下好奇心的無盡探索。
加油
最近中午排了幾個面對面的個別約談, 給小朋友加油, 和建議 - 若讀本太多, 回歸到基本的課本內容(複習卷)和單字7000, 設立合理的進步目標, 也適時為自己加油打氣..... 學測將近, 加油喔!!
另二個同樣讓人掛心怗記的, 一個去了日本遊學團, 一個還在為社團活動拼命,四處奔波....等他們有空, 等他們不再有公假公差和國外遊學, 還是要請他們來辦公室聽我嘮叨一番。
So i have arranged a meeting with a few during the lunch break in the office to how them my concerns over their academic performance in school. A simple smile and a reminder of what they should pay attention to are emphasized. Remind them to reshape their studying strategies and narrow down scopes. So far have been able to make some grasp the point that time and tie wait for no people.

However, there are still two missing - one is on a study-tour in Japan; the other is totally committed to club activities. If and when they return, I sure will ask them to have a chat with me....

Patience
Bad batteries
其中一個,問清楚他的作答已結束,請他出來.....告
While students took a review quiz in the morning, I went to have a look. One class needed immediate attention, and, without causing alarms, I walked in to send a signal to a few that were using their cell-phones. Why.... Why do children grow up in different ways? Why some flourish, while others don't do that well? ......Is it true that teens, most of them, lack self-discipline? This lack of incentives and motives may stem from an abundance of material supplies?
自製三明治
小女兒晚上睡覺前,提出人意料之外的要求--不要穿紙尿 布;可能因為白天她可以自己上厠所,開始覺得晚上也不要 包那一包尿布。緃使屁股上被賞了重重二巴掌,還是一臉鼻 涕和眼淚的堅持要求:不要穿紙尿布!她的認真表情和決絶 語氣,真是令人好氣又好笑。經過商量後,決定提前給小女 兒試試看不包尿布睡覺,也搬出[保潔墊]放在床墊上來預 防萬一。
大女兒對自製三明治的評價:蛋皮太厚(爸爸準備的);美 奶滋太少(媽媽再加一層)。不過,還不錯吃。謝謝媽媽。
Last night, before sleeping, Lisa, our little daughter, requested that she should sleep without wearing a diaper. She is now able to go without diapers during daytime; that nighttime diaper is just an insurance. Even though her bottom quickly received two slaps, she was still holding to that demand with tears in her eyes. After a quick discussion, it was decided then she should be given a chance, albeit a bit early. It is a bit funny to see her stating her demand with that resolute face full of tears, and with a solemn face that you find in a grown-up.

單親家庭的難處
太座不在家這二天,再次體驗單親家庭的難處。白天要忙, 下班後要接小孩/幫小朋友洗澡/洗衣服/ 洗餐具,檢查小朋友的功課/ 聮絡簿,順便準備明早的早餐......小女兒晚上還咳到 完全沒辦法睡覺.... 早上出門前,也是如同打仗般的忙......還好我們家 的媽媽回來了!
While my wife was away on a business trip, went through what a single-parent family would go through everyday. After a hectic workday, must proceed to picking up kids, helping them get a bath, doing the laundry and dishes, checking their homework and preparing for tomorrow's breakfast.... Our little daughter had a bad cold and she couldn't sleep well at night. Glad our mama is home again.

糖果
你看,袛要有心,一根糖果也是可以很有內容的。
所附連結的心理學實驗中,明示一件事實: 若懂得心理學原則,並能在特定的環境中,給予'適當'的命令和要求,絕大多數的人,會執行所謂的"命令"...而不會質疑這個權力/命令的正當性,或是執行後是否有人受害,.....
而身在大環境或團體之中的你我,有許多實驗條件和命題都不是我等所能控制或被明確告知的;但若能由細節中來反思並洞察整體架構和被設計過的"選擇",或許我們有機會可以不再隨波逐流,不再隨便盲從,並能真正明瞭自己的決定。

實驗所引起最主要的評論不在於實驗方法的倫理爭議,而在於實驗所代表的意義。一位在1961年的耶魯大學參與者在Jewish Currents雜誌上寫道,當他在擔任「老師」的中途想要停止時,便是懷疑到「整個實驗可能只是設計好,為了測試尋常美國民眾會不會遵從命令違背道德良心—如同德國人在納粹時期一樣」而這便是實驗的初衷之一。米爾格倫在他《服從的危險》一書中便稱:「我們所面臨的問題便是,我們在實驗室裡所製造的使人服從權力的環境,與我們所痛責的納粹時代之間有怎麼樣的關聯。」............

小心謹慎
剛剛去7-11繳款,拿了蓋完店章的信用卡帳單和電信費
哎~我怎麼日子過的這麼小心謹慎啊。
這成績?
在試題讀卡成績出爐後,出現了如此對話:
"這孩子平時小考成績差,作業也亂寫,上課睡覺叫不醒,
"看考試時是誰監考吧~"
"本想說是這學生開始奮發向上了,可是手寫題一題都沒動
"那個監考坐前面看雜誌的,學生其實也會看啦,真是差勁
感恩珍惜
This doggy bag is a way to say to them that we cherish what we have now, and they didn't die in vain.
我,不敢不願也不會忘記你們所付出的一切;也會告訴孩子 們,餐桌上每一口食物,得來如此不易,應要感恩珍惜。

國殤日......
這些花,是給那些在國共內戰中,不幸被捲入戰火的平民百姓同胞;國殤日......也許這個國家能抛開彼此成見,是在彼此同願同心同悲之時。國共內戰是場悲劇,死去的同胞,應被紀念。他們的逝去,應以鮮花音樂和紀念日/碑紀念。那些開啓戰端的元兇生前擁有權力財勢,死後還有紀念堂和國定紀念日?若有紀念堂,裏頭鮮花供奉儀隊致敬的應是那些逝去的無數人民百姓,而不是個.......政治無賴漢。這塊土地和人民,應有一個國殤日,哀悼早逝的青春,來不及長大的小孩和那些未能完成的夢想.....

Wish You Success
Wish you all a wonderful new year. Fight like the rising sun, steady and invincible. Walk like the morning breeze, cool and pleasant. And live like a tree, tall and strong.

Struggles and Protests
Struggles and protests forge a nation's soul, awake people from that daily stupor, and free people from mundane constrains, to what really matters.

A Nation's Architecture
A nation's soul presents itself in the visible and tangible form of architecture. A nation preserves its historical buildings because these buildings host its people's common memory, or history. A country that does not preserves its old buildings, is condemned to suffer from loss of memory, forgetting where they come from and which direction they should go.
