画出人生

拿起你的笔
把思想
构思
一一刻画在
那茫茫的空虚
为想法
构造出边框
将灵感与观点
展现于框中

握着你的笔
让一切忧伤
不满
一一解放在
那无尽的空虚
每一笔
每一画
每一丝痛苦悲哀的结束
每一点快乐的开始

紧捉住你的笔
满满的
渐渐的
把梦想和希望
用力地挥出来
将茫茫的空虚
点燃起理想的火花
创造出奇迹的彩虹

知足

知足顾名思义, 是知道满足. 我们要懂得知足, 这是因为知足者常乐. 懂得知足的人永远都会觉得快乐,并且从中获得益出.

在这科技发达的二十一世纪, 人们对生活水准的要求日益提高. 人人为了满足自己的物质需求而不择手断追求财富. 他们在累积财富的过程中往往忽略了生活中最主要的目的和最基本的道理, 那就是快快乐乐的活下去. 只要一个人懂得知足, 他便灰满足于现状, 并根据自己的生活需求, 适当地去追求自己的理想和应得应有的物质需求.

除此之外, 知足可以让我们学会如何珍惜自己的生活, 同时, 也会感恩世间的一切事物. 要知道, 知足者对与自己所拥有的, 得到的和四周围的事物都怀着一颗感恩的心. 他们感谢上天赐给了他们这美丽的生命, 同时也庆幸自己能够渡过每一天, 每一分, 甚至是每一秒. 对于自己没有的, 他们会尽力而为去争取. 若得不到自己梦寐以求的成果,他们也不会埋怨别人而是检讨自己的过失. 相反的, 他们会抱着 “是你的, 就是你的; 不是你的, 就不是你的” 的想法, 然后续快乐的活下去. 生活, 自然变得无忧无虑.

知足也让我们懂得如何脚踏实地的去追求理想. 懂得得知足的人不会放纵自己去追求那永无止尽的欲望, 也绝对不会把梦想建立在虚拟中. 所谓 “量腹其身, 度身而衣” ,他们会先衡量自己的能力和范围, 才决定自己的目标. 这样会比较时际, 而且我们也不会异想天开得舍求自己无法掌控到的事物.

最后, 我希望大家能够学会如何知足, 做一个务实主义者, 以真诚, 感恩, 对待着美妙的生命. 最后, 感谢大家的收听. 愿大家有个美好的一天. 谢谢.

School Prefect's Junior Orientation

Dear Reader,

It has been about nearly a few months since I last post in my entry. I would like to share my experiences regarding a programme that I organised a few weeks ago. Just a day before the school holidays, which is during the fourth of June, I and my friends of the school prefect’s board had organised an orientation programme for the junior prefects ranging from Form 1 to Form 3.
Before the activity, we had made many preparations, but sadly due to the lack of time, we were unable to fix most of the things right. If there was someone to blame, then the first person should be me. This is because I am the honourable chairman of this activity. It is a shame that we only started preparing when there is only a month’s time left. Bad luck again shrouded us endlessly like a daunting fog that is reluctant to leave, the exam is just around the corner and we faced the difficulty of postponing this activity. Due to the difficulty of the motivator to change his time into the time that suits us only in this school holidays, we were unable to change our time into the time that we want. The teachers were also too bossy and egoistic. They limited our every move and every activity. Huh, I knew that pointing the finger to any person other than me would not help. However, the truth is, what can I do now other than grumbling and releasing every inch of anger in these letters that I typed… …
Okay, fine! Let’s talk about the purpose of the activity rather than “grieving” and “moaning” about the loss and the failure. What’s loss is loss, retribution may not even help you feel better. Actually, the main aim of this activity is to build up relationships between senior and junior prefects, not forgetting to teach them how to become a more dedicated and disciplined prefect in their duties. We must show to them that being a prefect is fun and challenging. This was our objective. A week before the activity, we had meetings that were probably decision making parts crucial to our one day activity. These parts could be nasty too! When a decision cannot be made, arguments and troubles will go nuts, even though you have your meetings that were obviously unhelpful enough. Being a leader, I learned that many decisions should be made by your own. The members can only become your references as the true decision maker and power source is you! Luckily, we were cooperative enough to overcome the disaster.
For many days before the activity, I had troubled sleep for 5 days continuously. Having no experiences of organizing an activity, I was worried of it even though it looked pretty alright to them. My fears haunted me badly at the night before the activity. I nearly had insomnia but managed to fall asleep before awaking again at dawn. I expected some bizarre, uncontrolled, chaotic events that will happen and prepared for the worst. The troubles vanished at soon as I arrived at school. To my surprise, it went on right. The breakfast was delayed because the canteen set up late. The ice breaking activity was quite well and the simulation of sport checking in school was a total blast. It was the greatest one in this activity. The rest of the time before lunch was used for briefing from the teachers. After lunch, we had a motivation speech from Dr Lee of the UNITAR University. He was unable to attend due to bone fractures on his leg. He was replaced with Mr Lau, our school counsellor himself. After the talk, the participants enjoyed the Great Situation Challenge, which was the idea from one of our teachers. (Although we do not like the idea very much) The tiny bit of time was used to enjoy ourselves as we sing songs and played until it is time to go.
Well, not bad at all, right? Maybe a bit boring at first but it is okay overall. Actually, I think that there is a lot more to be improve if we have been given much more time to plan about the activity. I am not too satisfied about it, as if something’s missing. What I knew, is that next time, before any activity takes place, we must start planning it regardless of its time. The lesson that I learn, is that time is the most important element in every activity. Without sufficient time, we cannot do anything well. That’s all for now, bye!
