陽陽寫詩

陽陽今天心血來潮,用注音自己寫了三篇"課文"(我覺得應該是詩吧!),還蠻好玩的。我將他的注音轉為文字...



摺東西  林哲陽

一張紙,
四四方方,
摺小船,
小船水中飄。
兩張紙,
四四方方,
摺蘋果,
蘋果甜甜的。




小汽車和小糖果  林哲陽

一台車,
兩台車,
馬路共有多少車?
一顆軟糖,
兩顆軟糖,
我共有多少軟糖?

一個稻草人,
站的超級直。
木頭人,
站得很正。

Nurse is better

One day, we are talking about what career may be good for John.

We are talking about directions of math-relative  and literature-relative.  After a while,

Mom:  I think a doctor is better. He can help a lots of people.

Dad:  Indeed! However, we need consider John's interests and personality....

We keep  discussing advantage and disadvantage of being a doctor!  Suddenly,

John interrupted and said: Do you know becoming a doctor is not good?

Why?  The answers draw our attention.

John:  Do you know that nurse always collect money , not doctor!

吵架也是一種《溝通》

吵架也是一種《溝通》,最常跟我們有爭執的人,都是跟我們最親密的人!

願意跟你吵架的人,才是真正想瞭解你的人!

發生爭執說《算了》或者《不說了》 代表著你,不想把你的想法跟他說、不想讓對方瞭解你、 也代表你們的感情會停留在原地。

《無聲》是一種無形的,最遠的距離!

若能,從吵架中…表達出自己的想法, 總比把話悶在心裡都不說出來的好!

但,千萬要避免在衝動時,說出傷害對方的言語…

有些話一旦說出口…就很難收回了!

Guidelines for happiness

Guidelines for happiness

1. Live simply.
2. Expect less.
3. Give more.
4. Free your mind from worry.
5. Free your heart from hate.

Thanks for what I have rather than enumerate difficulties

Happiness is something I choose in advance.  It depends on how I decide to see it.

Every day is a gift.  It is a decision I take every morning when I wake up. As long as I can open my eyes, I will focus on the new day and all the happy memories that I have built up during my life. I will give thanks to heaven for what I have rather than enumerate all the difficulties that I have.

Encourage kids to read aloud

Your first grader is learning to "crack the code" of the written word. First graders learn phonics, the sounds of all letters and letter combinations. They apply phonics knowledge to figuring out or "decoding" words that they do not know by sight. Learning how to crack the code of reading also helps your first grader spell words he wants to use in his writing.

Discussion helps first graders understand

When talking about her experiences, your first grader includes many details--not just the most important points.   First graders tend to include many details in their stories, and they are not yet able to summarize a story.

The average first grader knows thousands of words. Your child has learned new words in many different ways--through talking with you, through hearing books read aloud, and through new experiences at home and in school. Having a strong vocabulary is important for learning to read. After all, the more words your child knows, the more words he will be able to recognize in print.

First graders love to talk about the books they read and listen to. Discussion helps first graders understand the meaning of books they read and listen to. ..Your first grader can relate a story to her own experiences, be a critical reader by telling what she liked or disliked about the story, and make inferences by imagining what might happen next if the book had a sequel.

First graders' speaking is more rich and complex than their writing. The typical first grader uses a small fraction of the words he knows when he writes. It is common for a first grader to speak at length about dinosaurs or tell about a family outing in great detail. He may only be able to write down a sentence or even a list of words about the topic, however. Your child's writing may not rival his speaking for years to come.

Encouraging Your First Grader

  • Tell stories about real and imaginary events to increase comprehension. Take turns with your child talking about the day--what happened, what was surprising, what was funny. Also try making up stories together and even writing them down. Whether you're in the car, on the bus, or getting ready for bed, ask your child to choose some favorite characters for the story. Start off by telling the story yourself, have your child take a turn, and then alternate. When you tell stories together, you help your child learn what elements make up a good story, which will help his reading comprehension and writing.
  • Encourage your child to ask questions about words. Keeping up with a first grader's questions may be trying for parents, but asking about words is an important habit to develop. Simply saying, "I'm glad you asked that," or "That's a good question!" when your child asks about a word will keep him questioning when he comes across new words. If you hear an unfamiliar word, think aloud about its meaning or consult a dictionary. Your curiosity demonstrates that even grown-ups wonder about words.
  • Talk about challenging vocabulary words, concepts, and figures of speech. This will help broaden your child's vocabulary, deepen her understanding of all the concepts words represent, and help her to understand better what she is reading. 
  • Play games with language to increase vocabulary, develop problem-solving skills, and practice letter sounds. ...such as a children's version of Scrabble, Boggle, or Clue, Jr.

    First graders learn most through listening and talking

    Your first grader learns more new information from listening than from reading books. First graders are expert listeners, but just beginning readers. When your child listens to an explanation of a concept or to an informational book read aloud, she can understand and remember more complicated information than she can when she reads on her own. This is because she does not have to focus on figuring out the words.
    Many first graders enjoy listening to long stories. First graders' knowledge of the world, ability to follow complex plots, and natural enthusiasm for stories make longer books ideal for this age and stage. Rather than reading one or more short picture books in a sitting, your first grader will enjoy listening to chapter books, such as Stuart Little. Many also enjoy listening to longer, more complex picture books, such as Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters, in a single sitting.
    First graders learn most new word meanings through listening and talking rather than through reading books themselves. Older children and adults learn new words from reading books, but this is not true for first graders. They can only read simple books that contain easy words whose meanings they already know, so first graders need to develop new vocabulary in other ways. Your first grader learns words through listening to books read aloud, through discussing new words with adults, and through the introduction of new vocabulary into everyday experiences.
    Your first grader is learning how to be a good listener in the classroom. Knowing the unwritten rules of conversation, such as taking turns in conversation and building upon the comments of another person, is a skill that is related to reading. Children who use these rules make better use of group discussions and further their understanding of what they read through listening and discussing with others.



    Encouraging Your First Grader

    • Read aloud books that are more difficult than your child can read. As a beginning reader, your child is only reading very simple text, so read-aloud time is the time to challenge him with new vocabulary and ideas. First graders enjoy both picture books with complex themes and ideas, such as Baseball Saved Us, and simpler chapter books, such as My Father's Dragon. Some books are too difficult or contain material that is difficult for first graders to understand, however, so choose carefully.  
    • Discuss the book before, during, and after you read to develop reading comprehension. Before reading, talk with your child about the title and the front cover. See if she can guess what the book is going to be about. While you are reading, ask your child to make predictions about what will happen next. Encourage her to ask questions about words or story events. You might even think aloud, saying, "I wonder why Ramona didn't want to go to school." When you verbalize your thoughts, you encourage your child to think about meaning as well. When you are done reading, ask your child what her favorite part was or why a character felt the way he did.  
    • Read many different kinds of books to your child. Reading a wide variety of books aloud to your child will help expose her to many different vocabulary words and ideas. In addition, your child will learn different writing styles and ways of presenting information. As your child gains skill in writing, this will also help her be able to use different styles. When you read a variety of genres, including realistic fiction, information, poetry, fantasy, and biography, talk specifically about the special features of each one. For instance, point out captions under pictures in informational text and explain their purpose. You might also try reading several books by the same author and comparing and contrasting the styles across books. Or read a book and then watch a video and discuss similarities and differences.

    wk4 (90925) of Grade 1 - John adapt to new school

    I think John has adapted  to new school though he still think school is not fun.  His favorite course is PE-running.

    Highlights:

    He adapts to new school within 3 weeks, one week earlier than PS-3.
    He can read and do homework and prepare stuffs for next day by himself.
    He can take shower and wash hair by himself.  We need help him wash hair in the past.
    He feel swimming is fun now. (swim back to stairs when the coach asks kids to walk back)
    In PE course, only kids not behaved well are grounded this week instead of all boys.
    He can read story (牙齒, 親親自然雜誌社, 1994-4-5) by himself with normal speed.

    Low
    In average: It takes John 1.5 hours to complete homework. 
    There are fewer chance for John to speak English.  His thinking logic gradually change from English to Chinese.


    Potential reasons
    After talking with other parents.  I think the reasons that John take longer time to complete homework are
    1, He like drawing and it takes him lot of time to complete homework
    2. I request him to read/spell out all content of homeworks.  The purposes are to
    1, increase his spelling ability
    2. some of my friends told me that their kids (grade 6) in math are good at solving the problem.  However , they have difficulty to understand the quesiton!

    淋雨的老和尚

    <網路分享文章>


    時近傍晚,有一位和尚在返寺途中,突然雷聲隆隆,天,下起了大雨。雨勢滂沱,看樣子短時間內不會停止,「怎麼辦呢?」和尚著急四望,所幸不遠處有一座庄園,只好拔起腳步去求宿一宵,避避風雨。

    庄園很大,守門的僕人見是個和尚敲門,問明來意,冷冷地說:「我家老爺向來和僧道無緣,你最好另作打算吧!」

    「雨這麼大,附近又沒有其他的小店人家,還是請您給個方便。」和尚懇求著。

    「我不能擅自作主,等我進去問問老爺的意思。」僕人入內請示,一會兒出來,仍然不肯答應,和尚只好請求在屋簷下暫歇一晚,結果,僕人依舊搖頭拒絕。

    和尚無奈,便向僕人問明了庄園主人名號,然後冒著大雨,全身濕透奔回了寺廟。

    三年後,庄園老爺納了個小妾,寵愛有加。小妾想到廟裏上香祈福,老爺便陪著一起出門。到了廟裏老爺忽然瞥見自己的名字被寫在一塊顯眼的長生祿位牌上,心中納悶,找到一個正在打掃的小和尚,向他打聽這是怎麼回事。

    小和尚笑了笑說:「這是我們住持三年前寫的,有天他淋著大雨回來,說有位施主和他沒有善緣,所以為他寫了一塊長生祿位。住持天天誦經,迴向功德給他,希望能和那位施主解冤結、添些善緣,至於詳情,我們也都不是很清楚……」

    庄園老爺聽了這番話,當下了然,心中既慚愧又不安……後來,他便成了這座寺廟虔誠供養的功德主,香火終年不絕。

    這是一位老和尚最喜歡講的,一個改造「惡緣」的故事。

    世界說小不小,說大不大,人生何處不相逢。

    胸襟寬大肚量能容的人,明了「大恩與大怨,人我原無兩」的道理,環境與他人施與自己的一切恩怨,都能激勵啟發自己,恩與怨都是成就道業的助緣。

    相反的,心胸褊狹的人,除了求一時之快以外,積累惡緣阻絕善緣,結果只有逐漸封閉自己未來更多可能的路向。

    或許,要如故事中那位住持般的胸懷修為,可能不易,然而「高山仰止,景行行止,雖不能至,心嚮往之」,以此為人生成長的標竿之一。路,自然無限的寬廣了!

      跟上一條龍

       陽陽開始學中文了! 練習拼音時, 我們嘗試的問他是否了解他所念的字詞含義,他的回答總帶來歡笑!
      爸爸: " 生活" 是什麼意思"?
      陽陽: 就是把火升起來啊!
      爸爸: " 檢核" 是什麼意思,你知道嗎?
      陽陽: 把盒子撿升起來!
      爸爸: "有始有終" 是什麼意思"?
      陽陽: 就是當鐘聲響起來後,要趕快刷牙上廁所,把該做的事作完!
      爸爸心想: 他是不是聽成"有屎有鐘" 了!
      過幾天,學校開始教"登鸛雀樓"。
      爸爸嘗試讓陽陽自己拼音完成這首詩!
      愈窮千里目,ㄍㄥ  ㄕㄤˋ 一  ㄔㄥˊ  ㄌㄡˊ .....
      才拼完沒多久, 陽陽迫不急待的問爸爸:
      陽陽: 爸爸!  為什麼愈窮千里目需要跟上一條龍,是因為這樣比較快嗎!

      Wk2 (-90911) Communication matter!

      It is the second week of new school!  John make some progresses in school! 
      Highlights:
      • Parents conferences indeed solve some of my questions.
      • He has 2 good friends now.

      • He is excited to tell me that he first time fell asleep in the nap time.

      • Physical education is his favorite course in school now.

      • He keeps the promise to go into the swimming pool on Thursday even though he feels the water is still too cold!

      • His ability in spelling phonetic symbols increased

      • He can read and check the homework communication book by himself with few of my help.
      Challenges:
      • He is still think school is not fun!
      • He doesn't want to go out during the recess time. 
      • He need more time to build up disciplines.
      Potential Reasons
      • Taiwan's education system may create more pressures to students compared to past.   I start to learn some of John's contents only when I was in middle school. 
      • Some teachers only accept one way of writing.  It makes John feel frustrated and confused.  He asked me why his way of writing is correct in past 3 year but now it's wrong.
      • John said the reason of not going out during the recess time is that outside is too hot.  I prefer to think that he need more time to adapt new environment.  When he studied in American school, he always goes outside an plays with friends during the recess time.  I never heard that he said that outside is too hot!
      • He is still used to American way of education-learning by playing and projects concepts.  It always try to find someone to play and I think it is good. 
      Solutions
      • Align my reward system to the mentor. The teacher use circles & Xs as the major reward system to help kids set up disciplines.  If kids get 20 circle, they may exchange a small gift (pad or pencil etc...)
      • Tell John that what he learned in the past is correct. However, we are learning a new way of writing now.  He is excited to tell me that he know  3 ways of writing now.  In the same time, I also communicates with school teachers for the subject.
      • Constantly help him enhance mandarin ability.
      • Review past blog articles and other articles which may helpful.

      wk1 (90904) - more time to adapt new school

      It is the 1st week of new school! John need more time to adapt new school.
        
      Everyday when John come back from school, I will ask him 2 quesitons
      1. Do you have fun today?
      2. What's your favoriate course?
      Highlight:
      • On Saturday and Monday, he  got lot of fun in school!
      • He is doing well after school. 
      • He meet a playmate who can play and do homework togethers.
        
      Challenge
      • Tuesday onwards,  he said he don't wnat go to school and get headache and stomachache from time to time. 
      • He don't want to swim - the reson is not yet clear
      • Don't like school welcome activities and feel  dizzy for : pass clever door,  study hard door, and pass 5 barriers. He likes the actives not yet happened draw teacher's portrait.
      • Don't like current school
      Potential Reasons:
      1. Pressures on mandarin especially compared to his peers studying in Taiwan's kingergarden.
      2. Way of interaction with kids  in America and Taiwan schools are different
      a. There are 15 kids in American school. Teachers is easier to take care individual differences, In Taiwan, there are around 40 students in a class.  Even though the teacher is working hard, it is difficult to take care each kids mind.  Teachers are forced to manage kid with lots of rules.
      b. American school encourage students learning by playing.   In Taiwan , the major activites are sitting  and listening.  However, compared to the past, the way of teaching already improved a lot
      c. In American school, if kids can't fall asleep in the nap time. They can find a book to read only if they didn't bother others. In Taiwan, if a kid can't fall  asleep, he need to pretend asleep....
      3. He had bad experiences in China's local summer school when he was 4.
       Solutons
      1. Help him enhance mandarin ability.
      2. Reivew the articles regarding way of interacting with John when John was 3.

      It is not a Taiwan school

      We just moved back and John is study in one of taiwan school. Since John studied in America school in the past 3 years, he hasn't spend too much time on learning Chinese. Therefore, I spend more time to communicate with him and try to enahnce his ability of reading mandrine.

      After a playdate with yao-yao, I found yao-yao can read homework and some chinese book.
      Dad: Your english is better and Yaoyao's chinese is better. do you know the reason.
      John: Yes. I studied in American school and she studied in Taiwan school.
      Dad: Since we are studing in taiwan school now... (I try to encourage him to learn more chinese ...)
      John suddently interrupted me and said: It is not a Taiwan school.

      I was surprised and asked: why?
      John: If it is a taiwan school, How come we haven't speak taiwanese in school?

      日全食

      2009722日上午,日全食出現在長江流域一大早媽咪要出門前跟陽陽解釋了日全食的現象,但陽陽看起來不太感興趣而且好像沒理解。


       


      早上九點開始,天開始慢慢變黑到了九點二十多分可以看到整個城市一片漆黑因為沒開路燈的關係甚至比晚上還要黑。真的是很奇特的經歷於是,媽咪打電話回家,想叫陽陽也一起感受一下這個特別的時刻。


       


      Mom: John, do you see outside?


      John: Ya, it’s dark.


      Mom: Yes, do you remember mommy told you this morning regarding eclipse that the sun would be covered by the moon and the earth would be dark?


      John: Yes, looks like the night!


      Mom: Yes, it is excited, isn’t it?


      John: Mmn, but, Mom, should I go to bed now? It’s dark and looks like the night.


      Mom: …

      哈佛幸福課 - 正面情緒(收入), 負面情緒(支出)

      <網路文章分享>  哈佛幸福課 泰勒‧本-沙哈爾

      人們衡量商業成就時,標準是錢/財富。用錢去評估資產和債務、利潤和虧損, 所有與錢無關的都不會被考慮進去。

      人生與商業一樣,也有盈利和虧損。幸福感是衡量人生的唯一標準。
      「具體地說,在看待自己的生命時,可以把負面情緒當作支出,把正面情緒當作收入。
      當正面情緒多於負面情緒時,我們在幸福這一『至高財富』上就盈利了。」

      幸福,應該是快樂與意義的結合! 一個幸福的人,必須有一個明確的、可以帶來快樂和意義的目標,然後努力地去追求。真正快樂的人,會在自己覺得有意義的生活方式裡,享受它的點點滴滴。
      簡化出3*3條guides:

      1.簡化生活, 充足睡眠, 規律運動
      1-1 簡化生活。應求精而不在多。
      1-2 睡眠:每天7到9小時的睡眠是一筆非常棒的投資而非浪費。
      這樣,在醒著的時候,你會更有效率、更有創造力,也會更開心
      1-3 規律地鍛煉。
      運動是你生活中最重要的事情之一。每週只要3次,每次只要30分鐘,
      就能大大改善你的身心健康。

      2. 接受自己,遵從內心, 面對失敗
      2-1 接受自己,不要忽略自己所擁有的獨特性; 失望、煩亂、悲傷是人性的一部分。接納這些,並把它們當成自然之事,允許自己偶爾的失落和傷感,然後問問自己,能做些什麼來讓自己感覺好過一點。
      2-2 遵從你內心的熱情。選擇對你有意義並且能讓你快樂的課,不要選別人認為你應該上的課。
      2-3 勇敢面對失敗。成功沒有捷徑,歷史上有成就的人,總是敢於行動,也會經常失敗。勇氣心懷恐懼,仍依然向前. 不要讓對失敗的恐懼,絆住你嘗試新事物的腳步。

      3. 感恩, 聚會, 給予
      3-1 表達感激。
      生活中,不要把你的家人、朋友、健康、教育等這一切當成理所當然的。
      它們都是你回味無窮的禮物。記錄他人的點滴恩惠,始終保持感恩之心。

      3-2 多和朋友們在一起。
      不要被日常工作纏身,親密的人際關係,是你幸福感的信號,最有可能為你帶來幸福。

      3-3 慷慨。
      現在,你的錢包裡可能沒有太多錢,你也沒有太多時間。但這並不意味著你無法助人。
      「給予」和「接受」是一件事的兩個面。當我們幫助別人時,我們也在幫助自己; 當我們幫助自己時,也是在間接地幫助他人。

      感冒多喝水、多休息

      感冒多喝水、多休息

      普通感冒通常在發病第二、三天最難受,大約45天就會慢慢痊癒。但若超過一個星期症狀沒有改善甚至更嚴重,或者出現鼻涕變黃、耳朵有分泌物,可能已經合併細菌感染,應該就醫。



      流行性感冒是由A型或B型流感病毒引起的. 症狀來得快且嚴重。最明顯症狀是發高燒、經常超過3839℃,如果沒有用藥物或其他方式退燒,體溫通常不會自行下降至正常範圍。其他症狀包括全身發冷、寒顫、肌肉痛、骨頭痠痛、頭痛、虛弱疲倦等



      一般感冒 (鼻塞和咳嗽): 多喝水、多休息

      H:多喝水。1.補充發燒失去的水分、2.稀釋痰液、鼻涕等分泌物, 比較容易咳出或是擤出來,3.舒緩咳嗽、減輕鼻腔、喉嚨充血/乾燥

      該喝多少水,可以從尿液顏色判斷。如果你的尿液顏色看起來呈暗黃色,表示水分攝取不夠需要多補充;如果尿液顏色清澈或微黃,代表喝入足夠的液體

      H:臥床休息。待在家裡(戴上口罩)可以避免傳染給別人。

      L: 避免含咖啡因的咖啡、茶、可樂,含酒精, & 高糖分的飲料。咖啡因,酒精,含糖飲料有利尿效果,將身體最需要的水分加速排出體外。

      小孩發燒: 減少衣服, 溫水擦拭, 睡冰枕, 多喝水

      當發覺小孩發燒時,應先用耳溫槍等測量體溫;家長應該注意發燒是否併有其他症狀,如小孩只有發燒但沒有其他特別的症狀,而且精神也很好,就不必太著急,可以先給予簡單退燒處理。

      發燒的處理原則: 減少衣服(幫助散熱), 溫水擦拭全身,睡冰枕, 多喝水. 有發燒且不舒服才用藥.

      1.  減少衣服穿著,以寬鬆為主,減少被蓋以幫助散熱。
      1a . 高燒前有發抖畏冷時, 先用棉被或衣物覆蓋, 不畏冷時再減少身體衣物的覆蓋

      2a.  若小孩耳溫>38,可先行給予睡冰枕,溫水擦拭全身, 洗溫水澡(泡室溫攝氏二十五的水中,再用海綿全身上下輕輕搓揉)等幫助散熱/退燒,
      2b. 如非常不舒服, 可先予口服退燒藥(須間隔4-6小時以上)
      2c. 發燒若超過39.5,一定要給。

      3. 若吃完藥後燒沒退,可先給予洗溫水澡。若服藥後一小時,仍持續高燒沒有流汗等退燒的情形,可以給予栓劑,如果這樣還不退燒,恐怕需跑一趟急診了。

      但如果發燒合併有出疹、意識障礙、嚴重嘔吐、下痢、腹痛、呼吸困難急促、黃疸甚至痙攣等,則必須及早就醫,

      發燒分三個階段
      1. 體溫上升階段: 全身感覺不舒服
      2. 體溫穩定階段: 這時體溫調節中樞重新建立,有較高的調節點。其熱量的產生及熱量的散失達到新的平衡點。臉部泛紅,表示發燒處於高的平衡點。 
      3. 體溫下降階段: 病人流汗,全身濕濕的.補充足夠的水份,以防脫水現象。

      一般感冒均會有二至四天發燒,如果活動力佳,進食正常則不必太擔心。
      注意事項: : 是否精神活動力減低,發燒時間過長(超過2-3天), 高燒不退(> 40℃)或一 天多次發燒,有新症狀出現或其他無法處理的問題, 應儘速回醫院急診或 門診處理

      常見問題(Questions):
      1. 小朋友發燒會不會燒壞腦子呢? 大部分不會。因為人體腦部細胞的主要成份是蛋白質,當體溫升高達四十二以上,蛋白質才可能受到破壞而可能導致腦細胞受損。

      It is just water in my eyes

      那天John沒有約playdate,我叫他選擇家庭作業來做, 他選了數學, 我讓他先讀題目. 題目包含中文注音拼音。因為太久沒練習拼音了, John寫了一下,覺得太難,就告訴我說不想做。我略帶生氣的告訴他, 那不要做算了, 以後你不認識字, 你自己負責。我發現到John 的眼眶泛紅了

      Daddy: ㄛ,這樣就要哭了!
      John: No, I am not crying. It’s just water in my eyes…

      轉的真快!

      蝴蝶效應

      看來應該學習老先生剛開小吃店的精神: 堅守目標, 做好自己, 其他則視而不見, 聽而不聞!

      Select from網路分享文章 - 經濟上的蝴蝶效應

      有個老年人在公路旁邊開了一家小吃店,當時正逢經濟不景氣的年頭。這位老人家眼力不十分好,耳朵又近乎半聾。因為眼力不好,所以不能讀書看報;因為耳朵重聽,也難得與別人聊天。這樣一來他對外界的資訊都不甚瞭解,也不知道外面經濟不景氣有多嚴重,依舊賣力的經營小吃店。

      他把小吃店內整理得乾乾淨淨,門面粉刷得漂漂亮亮,在路邊豎起宣傳看板,加上他的材料實在,口味鮮美,價格公道,常常吸引很多過路旅客停下來休息用餐。老人家勤奮工作,夢想就是賺了錢可以供兒子念大學。幾年之後,兒子也不負期望,進入大學攻讀經濟系,畢業後又去美國深造。所以對全世界的經濟情況瞭若指掌。

      一年耶誕節,兒子從美國回來度假,看到小吃店的生意仍然紅紅火火,就對爸爸說:"這家店的情況有點不太對勁,你不應該有那麼好的生意才對啊!仿佛完全不受外面經濟不景氣影響似的。"接著把經濟蕭條的前因後果費力的解說了一遍,並且強調現在大家都如何如何的節衣縮食,拼命在不景氣的海嘯中掙扎求生。

      這時候老人的腦海中第一次出現危機的負面思想,他開始對自己說:"既然如此,我今年最好也不要再花錢粉刷門面了,外面鬧恐慌,我還是省一點錢比較好既然人人都沒錢出來吃飯,我又何必在路邊豎宣傳看版呢?"

      就這樣他把一切積極的作為都停下來了,結果生意真的一落千丈。當他的兒子第二年復活節假期又回到家時,老人對兒子說:"孩子,我要謝謝你告訴我有關外面經濟不景氣的消息,那是千真萬確的事,連我的小店也感受到了。兒啊!受大學教育真是太有用了!…"

      放天燈

      今年元宵節前一天剛好是星期天,打羽球的朋友在網上買了一些天燈準備在星期天晚上可以放。 Tim和我都沒放過天燈,更別說John那天下午,當大家準備要寫願望在天燈上,John問我:什麼是願望我告訴他,就是他每天禱告的事或者他想要的東西結果他很天真的說,他要寫 I want more toys and no sick. (平常John的禱告裡是不會禱告要玩具的)但是想想好玩,我們就讓他寫了他說的 ‘I want more toys’以及‘No sick’,我和Tim各寫了一面我寫Healthy and HappyTim寫了Healthy, Happy and Prosperous.


       


      當天晚上十幾個天燈一起飄上天空真的很美。回家後睡覺前 我如常的問他要禱告什麼?沒想到今天的Prayer request竟然多了一個‘Pray for what we put on the lantern, no sick, more toys, healthy, happy and prosperous’…我回答他‘what we put on the lantern is wishes’他很快的回答我‘If it was only wish, then we may get sick’…我告訴他‘Don’t worry, we pray everyday for not getting sick, God will bless us and give us strength. Even we got sick, He will heal us.’ 這傢伙反應很快地說‘Then, I will pray everyday so that God will make what we put on the lantern come true.’


       


      從那天之後我們每晚的禱告多了一項而且他會自己 pray ‘Dear God, I would like to pray for those things we put on lantern, no sick, more toys, healthy, happy and prosperous.’


       


      信心真的很大呢!

      用人上人的心境自處

      在平凡過程中一路以不凡的心默默自居, 在不凡結果後就能以平凡的心慇懃應酬。
      當你還未富貴時, 就要默默以富貴自居. 有朝一日富貴喧騰來時, 你就不會突然利令智昏.
      當你還無功名時, 就要默默以有名自居. 有朝一日功名熱鬧來時 你就不會名實不符.

      把過程當成結果的一部分 把結果當成過程的一部分 讓她真正的整合起來 你就可以離開那個不得已的落差

      何不一開始就以慶祝的心情, 享受的心情去修煉,
      何不一路上就以高手的身分去檢驗, 以成功的滋味去品嘗.

      在這個有限的世界住太久了, 容易習慣現實的枷鎖, 容易習慣面對現象做反應.一個真正有錢人不會在乎現在帳戶裡的錢, 因為他知道自己還有無限.

      Jesus Loves Us

      Tonight, when I was reading bible story for John, the question in snuggle section was about go and tell the people who does not know Jesus about him. I asked John why we should tell the world about Jesus. He said to me because Jesus loves us and takes care of us, so we should share the good news. Then, I ask him how he will tell. He answers me:


       


      I will tell them, Jesus loves all of us. If you were bad guy, Jesus still loves you. If you were good guy, Jesus will love you even more.


       


      I know he will be a good gospeler!

      止鼻血三步驟: 捏、直坐、冰敷

      小朋友流鼻血的時候,「捏、直坐、冰敷」是止鼻血的三步驟。

      1. 壓鼻翼:先捏在鼻翼的三角形區域,5到10分鐘。
      2. 直直的坐著. 不要躺下,因為鼻血會流到喉嚨,容易嗆到。頭往前傾,鼻血常常會流得更快。

      3. 冰敷,這樣鼻血就不會流得太誇張。


      小孩子只要有鼻過敏、或氣溫變化太快, 太冷、太乾燥,就容易流鼻血。可以從減少環境的刺激,例如:使用空氣清淨機和潮濕器;或是戴口罩與鼻腔塗抹凡士林等保護鼻黏膜方式來預防流鼻血的發生。好在大部分兒童過了青春期後,就比較不會流鼻血了
