The Road Not Taken- Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

My Life Long Target

Though havent achieve it.. I'm trying my best and heading towards this target..

十根指頭的故事 (另外一種美)


哪有男生不喜歡女孩子身材正、樣子漂亮、聲音甜美? 一位男友人道。

對呀，所以現在誰都追求大眼睛，而不是慧眼;

喜歡紅唇，卻不是說造就人說話的嘴;

追求美白，而不是屬於另一半的肌膚;

想要豐胸，但不是溫柔的懷裏;

喜歡低胸，而不是保守的觀念;

欣賞水晶甲，卻不是整齊的指甲;

欣賞高跟鞋，但不是踏實的腳步等等。

這篇文章，是給照顧我19年的父母的。當我長大了，有很多事我懂了。

也許都讓你想起他們。

就 像你們老早就告訴我世界沒有童話、主角永遠不會死，我老不相信。直到自己談戀愛了，我才知道世上沒有王子、沒有像劇情般的戲份，但我已經傷痕累累了。就像 你們老早就告訴我看多一些課外書認識世界、學會多一點技能，我老不聽話。真到自己升上大學了，我才知道自己多麼的渺小、如何的詞不逹意、枯燥無味。

這是我十根指頭的故事。

她們不聰明也不勤力，但很幸運，有機會懂很多。

小時候，看見有一個姐姐彈琴很厲害，鋼琴的聲音很動聽，我愛上了音樂。爸爸就讓我有機會去學彈琴，想不到第二次學琴，看到琴譜，她們懂怎樣彈三級的歌曲。

那天，爸媽就對我說，女兒，這雙手很美，但不像別人的美。

我問道:為什麼?

爸說: 因為學琴的人不能留長手指甲，更別說漂亮的水晶甲了。

然而，我沒有後悔，因為這十根短短的手指頭已經不是彈琴這麼簡單了。朋友們，你有曾經試過這樣的獻上嗎?雖然看上去像不美麗，但卻比這些一切都更值得、更可貴。

媽，你知道嗎?我喜歡彈琴不是因為自己喜歡音樂這麼簡單。這些不能留長的手指，平息了一場場的吵架、帶來了平安的笑聲，和諧了一整個家。

當年，家境不像現在這麼好，妳跟爸爸常常吵架，其實我很害怕，害怕到要哭了，可是我一彈琴，你們就不吵了。你們冷靜過後，還回我一大堆的笑容，那是不能形容的安心。

我還記得，那時候妹妹還在世的時候，她常常因為插喉、飲藥、用呼吸機很辛苦。那很害怕又無能為力的時候，是這十根指頭，奏出華麗的琴音，妹妹的哭聲靜止了。在她最辛苦的時候，這十根指頭發揮出前所未有的功效。

往後，爸媽再加入教會的詩班，學藝不精的我，僅僅能彈出那伴奏，讓我們可以在家裏唱詩歌讚美神。

媽，你說懂鋼琴，未來就能找一個懂鋼琴的男朋友了，對不起我很沒用找不到，但我比較喜歡彈琴給你們聽。當所有女孩子都在留長指甲的時候我很妒忌，因為我不可以，但媽你告訴我，我的雙手比誰的都漂亮。

爸，你知道嗎?你教我用倉頡打字的時候，因為沒有留長指甲，所以我學倉頡打字的時候比誰都快。到我升上中一的時候，我比同學們都厲害，不是因為那十根指頭，而是我有一個很為我著想的爸爸。

體育課的時候，有些女同學常常遇上反甲的意外，我沒有。曾經想過就算長指甲很麻煩很危險我都想留，因為美麗、可愛，但這樣的衝動我沒有了，因為我比較喜歡平凡又安穩。

長 大了，你常常逼我做家務，現在我會自動去做家務了。這十根看似不美麗的指頭，我很喜歡，因為讓我沒有藉口不幫忙做家務。如果留長了指甲，怎麼洗魚呢?當我 的大學同學看見我伸手入去魚的內部，將內臟續一取出來的時候，他們有的尖叫，有的流露噁心的樣子。我在想若果我留了指甲，怎能做菜給你們吃，怎能做菜給下 班回來累累的爸媽呢。

你說女孩子要懂照顧家人，未來嫁出去了，要在自己辛苦、老公又辛苦的時候，主動去做家務，那才是老婆。所以你說女孩子 可以什麼都不會，可以讀不上大學，可以不學琴不唱歌，更可以不美麗，但就是不可以不會做家務，因為你想我獨立。爸，你知道嗎?這個世代的男生大都不欣賞這 樣的女生，也不這樣選老婆，但是我學會的不是怎樣吸引異性，而是未來你老了，我最少可以不幫你叫外賣、不要你辛苦的下樓，你都可以吃到飯。

洗 碗、做飯、洗菜等等，若果我留了長長的指甲，或是裝了美麗的指甲，我就不能幫助爸媽了。從此，我沒有留過長長的指甲，最多就是塗上不同色的指甲油。不以那 短短的手指頭為恥，感謝神，賜給我方便、靈巧、美麗的十根指頭。我不是特別的、美麗的、更不是有什麼好誇口的，但天父讓我走了一條體會很多的路。

要不是媽媽你先放下美麗的身段，留我這個不怎麼考順的女兒在你的肚子裏十個月;

要不是媽媽你先放下美麗的時間，為我努力工作、儲錢，不用來娛樂;

要不是爸爸你先放下美麗的面子，把我教導、把我訓練、讓我成長;

要不是爸爸你先放下美麗的力量，將所有心思和力量都放在那個要在你肩膀上玩耍的我;

這十根指頭一點都不美麗、不值得，你們知道嗎?

如果這個世界都在說你不美麗不配不可愛，不要緊，只少要你的美麗最少有爸媽、天父看見。

The Rose Within

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.

He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.

This is one of the characteristic of love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

Inspirational Pencil Story

The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.

"There are 5 things you need to know," he told the pencil, "Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be."

"One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand."

"Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil."

"Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make."

"Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside."

"And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write."

The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.


Now replacing the place of the pencil with you. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.

Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems in life, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.

Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.

Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.

And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.



Allow this parable on the pencil to encourage you to know that you are a special person and only you can fulfill the purpose to which you were born to accomplish.

Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot make a change.
