“This is a sun and some mountains.” ~ Peony Fong
Our little painter :
Peony Fong – “Hi I’m Peony and I am eight years old. I live in Hong Kong. I like drawing because it’s fun!!”
Love is a sharing
and a caring,
Born of truth
Love is not using
Or being used
Love is not abusing
or being abused
Love is not even
Giving or taking
For that leads to
counting and accountings
of “look what I did for you?”
So, verily, merrily, I say unto you,
That love is a sharing
A caring
Born of truth.
For those are the roots
From which all us children flow.
Punto.
Finally, the crazy 2.5 months have passed. Trip to China for volunteer work, the U.S. for world conference of the gifted, Melbourne for dissertation supervision, Rome for World Peace Meetings and formation, handing in monthly report of dissertation writing…. Ending up physical exhaustion and almost forgetting how to sit back, relax and do something enjoyable.
Ah… I find a perfect place for a cup of cappuccino and croissant and reading one of my favorite books (Mindfulness by Mark Williams and Danny Penman).

阿鵝估計blog文中的狗狗是一名教師,而小韋當時是大約就讀小學的學生。
當學生已經意識到、或自身經歷過、甚至目擊到其他同學欠交功課所帶來的後果,例如: 被責罵、罰企等。學生會自然會避免欠交,但這些後果對某些同學來說是非常恐懼,因為校園生活佔了小孩的大部分時間,而一些學生非常認真有責任感,很重視自己的學業,一但欠交功課,一連串的後果影響了學習表現,繼而產生極大負面情緒。好像小韋,那份功課只是老師叫他重做,而不是寫在手冊上的正規功課,雖然這樣,但小韋仍然很認真對待這份重做功課,當他發現忘記帶功課回家做,覺得無可補救,已經傷心到不肯返學。
成年人也會遇到類似情況,例如: 傾生意、發報會時發現計劃書遺留在家中,一時失誤會導致嚴重損失。這時我們一樣產生負面情緒,與小孩不同的是,成年人生活經驗多,應變能力相對較佳,我們會補救、找人協助等。
鵝希望有人教小韋如何處理突發的事情和自己的情緒,例如以上情況應該留在家傷心、冷靜去返學直至被老師責罵先開始傷心、等份功課做完才返學、還是返學求老師寬限一日、以後如何避免同樣的錯誤等。
鵝十分明白小韋的心情,希望小韋保持這份認真,把握機會在錯誤中學習。
