当我看见这图片时，深深的感慨填满平静的心。“你們當初剪下我的翅膀，如今卻要我飛翔”。最近有两件事情一直存放在我心里。之前在班上等老师进班上课时，我在无聊地上上网。听见身旁的一群同学在聊天。她们正在谈毕业后的出路。她们都是Department of Early Childhood Education 的学生。A：“我毕业了当然是要当老师啦！开一间幼儿园。诶，你懂现在当老师几好赚吗？我妈妈讲啊可以赚大钱的啊！”听到这里，心头一震，抬头看看了那位同学。大家继续沸沸扬扬地讨论当老师如何让他们赚大钱。在一来一往的讨论声当中，我听到了一个女生她没有在规划“出路”，而是在规划“梦想”。当下她在我眼里发光了。其实A也没有错，因为她的梦想是“赚大钱”，我是何等人去批评别人的梦想呀？我没有权利。不过我真心希望在她“赚大钱”计划里，有包括职业道德+教育使命+爱心+对孩子的同理心，这些配套。尤其她将会投身于教育工作。我很庆幸，我的翅膀没有被剪下。但是依然还在成长当中。等待时机成熟，展翅高飞。记得在高飞之前，立定你的目标，决定你的目的地。不要漫无目的地飞。这世界对我们很严苛,好好保护你的翅膀，让它们长得更强大。带你们高飞之余，还可以为别人挡风遮雨，更可以带别人一起高飞！千万不要别人不断你翅膀，你反而自断双翼。加油吧！怀着梦想，张着翅膀的朋友们！

台湾史上最卖座的纪录片-《不老騎士-歐兜邁環台日記 》

           非常感谢郑玉燕小姐介绍了我这部纪录片，《不老騎士-歐兜邁環台日記》。我看得非常感动。17位老人家，平均年龄81岁，骑着motor环岛13天。他们为梦想的坚持与勇敢真的让我动容。看着这1小时28分钟39秒的电影，眼泪无法停止，而嘴角也不禁扬起。他们的真，他们的简单，他们故事都让我惊叹。老人家拥有太多我们年轻人没有的东西了。他们活了80年，我们只活了几十年。他们经历战争时期，我们出世就在冷气房里。他们有老人斑，我们有个雀斑就呼天抢地。他们的责任感，我看了羞愧不已。他们的大而化之，我也还没学会。他们有孩子孙子的福气，这个我还要等很久。他们的幽默感，我也学不上来。不过我有他们的勇敢。真的！我有着和他们一样的勇敢。
            在这个纪录片里面每个老人家都有着自己独特的故事。其中有几个故事真的让我看见钦佩。
1. 我没有预料到在这个纪录片里我会听见，看见福音。不老骑士队里，有一对牧师夫妻。当牧师站出来为整个团队祷告时，无论是否信主的，都闭上眼睛，诚心祈求。应为我们的上帝是赐平安的主呀！

2.有一位阿公80多岁，他的太太在60多岁时去世了。他对他太太的思念，好深好深。我第一次看见这样的爱。当他在述说他太太时，他对她表达的思念，不舍与感谢，让我的心都揪了起来。

3. 不老骑士的团长是个80多岁的老人家，在出发的第一天时，他就因为胃溃疡和肩膀酸痛而无法继续。但是他还是很坚持要跟着大家一起。在这13天里，他住了2次医院。但是他都还是坚持不打道回府，继续陪伴着他们一起奋斗。他的责任感和对大家的照顾深深的打动了我。

4.团队当中有两个老人家是在日治时期当军人的。有趣的是，一个是日军的中尉；一个是中国军的士兵。几十年前如果他们在战场上相遇，他们都是要取对方性命的。可是几十年后，他们竟然相遇在一个追梦的团队里成为战友。

5.这一班帮助，扶持，照顾老人家的年轻人实在让我钦佩。他们不怕麻烦，不怕困难地来帮老人家圆梦。真的了不起！

推荐大家去看这部纪录片。这部纪录片可以让我们看见我们华人的美德，老人家们的故事，家庭的观念，夫妻之情，战友间的互相扶持.....真的有太多了...这个就是很真实的人生。赚人热泪。如果你觉得我把精彩的剧情都暴露了，不好意思你错了，因为当你去看这个纪录片时你会发现更多精彩的。加油生命中的不老骑士！

I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris

                                       

Yeah!!! I finally finished the book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye. If I recall correctly, I started reading this book at the begining of 2013. And it is October now. So I have used at least half of a year to finish a book? Actually I wasn't serious when I started to read this book. I mean it took me so long time to search for this book and of course I am very interested in this topic. But when I started reading it, I read it with curiosity and just wanted to gain extra knowledge. Until last 2 months, something happened that urged me to see boy girl relationship with a serious attitude. The things that happened made me sad but one of the thing actually broke my heart. It made me realized that so many hurts will happen if you enter a relationship without preparation. The prepation I mean here are godly, emotionaly, physically and finiancially. The most important one is understand the purpose of relationship from biblical perspective and entrust our love life to God. So, I started reading this book as a guideline to prepare myself and when my friends need my "advise", I have some "wise advices" to share too.

One of the most impressing thing I have learned from this book is to have purposeful singleness. It made me realized that there are so many things I can focusing in doing for God and serve Him wholeheartedly when I am single, as in now. And Joshua Harris is being so honest to share about his personal struggles. I can relate so well with the struggles he had. Especially he pointed out the self-pity as one of the pollutant of our hearts. "Do you find yourself focusing on your own sorry state and not relying on God to do His best for you?" He made me to take an honest look at my own self-pity that I don't even realize before.  

Ya, I have finished this book but it doesn't mean that I know all the about relationship or I am an expert on relationship. What I have learned are obey to God, to wait on God's time and to serve Him. When the time my life story come to a chapter that named LOVE, I pray that my love story will be a story of purity, faith and selfless love. And all these good character is builded from our daily life and practice.

I never date before but there is nothing to be sorry or regret about. Becasue I know that courting is the right way to do. 

All the glory to our greatest God!
