My daughter one day asked me before she went to bed,
"Daddy, Do you know why I always remember bad things, bad experiences instead of good things? I just can not help it." 
 I puzzled for a long while, and said,
"You know, it is human's nature and survival's instinct to memorize bad things so that we could avoid the same mistakes again."
"We need to learn from God and pray for God to appreciate and tresure all the good things we had, to be a better person."

Bread for myself is a material question. Bread for my neighbor is a spiritual one.
Nicholas Berdyaev, 1874-1948
Russian Philosopher

就在那時侯，耶穌說：「凡勞苦和負重擔的，你們都到我跟前來，我要使你們安息。你們背起我的軛，跟我學吧！因為我是良善心謙的： 這樣你們必要找到你們靈魂的安息，因為我的軛是柔和的，我的擔子是輕鬆的。」
Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you.
Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
 For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.

    "If there is no wind, row."
                       ~ Latin Proverb

The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour
are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.
Arnold Bennett , 1867-1931
British Novelist

在印度叢林中，馴獸師常將小象拴在樹下，剛開始，小象會想逃走，但力氣不夠，一
再失敗，久而久之就不再試了。長成大象後，即使有了拔樹的力氣，卻因為習慣自我設
限而放棄努力。?

生活的空間，須藉清理挪減而留出；
心靈的空間，則經思考開悟而擴展。
打橋牌時要把我們手中所握有的這副牌，
不論好壞，都要把它打到淋漓盡致；
人生亦然，重要的不是發生了什麼事，
而是我們處理它的方法和態度，
假如我們轉身面向陽光，就不可能陷身在陰影裡

是『陪伴』孩子一起成長 ？
還是『賠絆』了孩子的成長？          
 聽的藝術
瞭解孩子的氣質，適度地因材施教
青春期是叛逆嗎？！
現代青少年的特性
進入孩子的內心世界-談親子溝通
教他避險，讓他冒險！
叛逆少年 需要了解 不要嘮叨
孩子，你/妳究竟要什麼？！---父母的需要v孩子的需要
放手與成熟

There are times when it is hard to believe in the future, when we are temporarily just not brave enough. When this happens, concentrate on the present. Cultivate le petit bonheur (the little happiness) until courage returns. Look forward to the beauty of the next moment, the next hour, the promise of a good meal, sleep, a book, a movie, the likelihood that tonight the stars will shine and tomorrow the sun will shine. Sink roots into the present until the strength grows to think about tomorrow.
