Ever since I got myself into this new hobby of mine - photography ... I have become more aware of the things around me ... started to appreciate things that I wouldn't have noticed before ... such as , the color of the sky ... clouds in the sky ... the trees along the sidewalks ..... I have begun paying extra attention to what people have said ...... and plus after I have read the book - THE PRESENT , I decided to ask myslef some questions just like the old man in the story suggested the young man ... however , I haven't got the answers yet .... perhaps I will share my thoughts with you when I have gotten my answers ....
自從我開始投入我的新嗜好 -攝影 我開始會注意到在我週遭的事物 注意到一些以前不會注意到的事 像是天空的顏色 雲的形狀 路上的樹 我也開始專心聽周遭人說的話 加上我在讀了那本書 -禮物 後 我決定像書中老人建議那個年輕人做的 - 問自己一些問題 然而 到目前為止 我還是沒答案 或許等我想通了 我會在跟你們分享
something I got from this story that I found useful ~
我學到 ~
" to appreciate and enjoy what has been right in front of you " ,
"學著去欣賞並用心享受一直在你眼前的事物 "
" When you are fully engaged in what you are doing your mind doesn't wander . You enjoy life . and you are happier and more effective "
"當你真的完全專心於你正在做的事 你不會胡思亂想 你會懂得享受生活 你會變的更快樂 "
" Even in the most difficult situations, When you focus on what is RIGHT in the Present moment , it makes you happier , today . And it gives you the needed energy and confidence to deal with what is wrong . "
"即使當你在最困難的狀況下 只要你在當下專注於對的事 這樣做會讓你的今天過的快樂點 也會給你所需的能量與自信去應付錯的事 "

我今天下午又去書局一趟 當我正在等公車時 我注意到我手裡拿著的裝書的紙袋背後寫著一些東西 我常常去這家書店買東西 但是卻從沒認真看過這些紙袋 以下是我再袋子背後的新發現 很有意思
Learning From Life 學習從生活開始
走冤枉路也是一種學習 By 洪蘭
我在美國教書時 學校有個附設幼稚園 我常帶學生去做觀察 幼稚園中有個沙坑 內有一些玩具 如小鏟子 空瓶子 及漏斗 小孩子很喜歡把沙裝在漏斗中在裝進瓶子裡去
由於學校很大 各國籍的人都有 所以我看到東西方不同的教育方式 美國媽媽坐在旁邊看孩子玩 通常不會干涉 小孩子用小鏟子把沙裝進漏斗中 但是漏斗會漏 沙裝不滿 小孩子變把手指頭塞到漏斗底去堵住漏口 當沙裝滿時 便把它移到瓶子旁邊 把手指放開 將沙漏進瓶中 但是沙漏的速度很快 從手指拿開到對準瓶子 沙便漏的差不多了 這時候孩子會鍥而不捨一點一點累積 手指移開的速度也越來越快 忽然之間孩子開竅了 他把漏口直接插進瓶口 從上往下倒沙 瓶子很快就滿了 孩子發出勝利的笑聲 高興的回頭看媽媽 媽媽也會拍手以示鼓勵
中國的媽媽便不一樣了 當孩子拿起漏斗裝沙 沙從底部流失時 中國媽媽便立刻蹲下去說" 來 媽媽教你 把漏口對準瓶口 把沙從這裡灌進去 " 中國孩子早學會如何用漏斗 但也很快便不玩了 爬出沙" 坑要媽媽抱
再這裡我們看到中西方教育的不同 我們什麼都願意為孩子做 認為多為他做一些 孩子就少辛苦一些 我們忘記了冤枉路其實也是學習的方式之一 有些發現是要走了冤枉路之後才會出現的 而且自己辛苦後的成果特別甜美
它帶給孩子"知"的喜悅 ~ "我知道了" 這個喜悅會使前面的挫折感一掃而空
Tanya : Basically , This talks about the differences between Chinese Parents and Western Parents , how they educate their children are very different ly...
Chinese parents tend to be OVER protected .... they try to make an easy path for their children , a short cut ... because they want to help them have a better life ...
in the other hand , western parents choose to let their children to learn through experiences .... it might take them longer time before they find out the right path, how to do .... but what they get from learning is somehow irreplaceable .
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do . :)
