Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish

Dear friends

-

I participated in a morning praise this morning and got something good from the church there. The preacher said: a child, who was born in foreign, had a talent for music and then was invited to show his talent all over the world when he was 16. From that day, he was forced to show his talent for a set of music shows, also it was not far from the day, he became a world-famous musician. Ten years later, he found he was something in the music but nothing in other, he lost his freedom and a happy childhood as he needed to cope with a set of music shows at that period. He knew nothing all about his country, his friends and he could not see what he want to see via a window on the world.

-

Also the preacher said, we always memorize our success but forget an impetus that is still working inside of us. The momentum can give the strength to keep walking towards our future, however some successful persons who are the most likely to stop their steps for the great acheivement that was made in the past. Truly, it is not surprising that many hong kong people seem to be losing in their lives and they do not have great breakthrough in their works because they have got their great success in the past, and because they indulged themselves in the past success.

-

It is the worst one that if a man does not know the law of sowing and reaping, no pain will not have gain. We should still work for sowing and forget the success in the past, otherwise we would be unable to reap our harvests in the future.

-

I hope all friends of mine to keep their engines burning, not to memorize only for their success in the past as we work more, the more we will breakthrough, the more we will reap. I praise for my friends to continue their works and hope they can vision the law of sowing and reaping. And hope that they can be given a vision, a vision of what they would be in the future, a vision of where their careers will be heading towards.

-

The last but not the least, I have learned some meaningful words from the preacher and wanna send to yours as a present. 4 words only!

They are these:

-

"Stay Foolish" and "Stay Hungry".

Always think you are so foolish, then you will strive to learn;

Always think you are hungry, then you will strive to work.

Tell them they are still beloved.

Today is Sunday, it is a sunny day.

How are you?

my friends...

In my mind, the Hong Kong children are beatific, lively and they are under their parent's wing... I have a nephew (Tom Leung) and niece (Bebe Loo), they are deemed to love and obey their parents...especially to their mother. Needless to say, they are No.1 on their parent's eyes.

-
Childhood is an important period of development. In this process, a child learns what he can do and what is forbidden to try. Sometimes, punishment is inevitable.. But punishment to a child should be fair, consistent and constructive. It should have a clear relationship to the misbehavior and lead to better self-control on the part of the child. Ask someone to send the comment for you just to make sure that no error slips your eyes.

-

Most misbehaviour connote a significant signal to their parents, they need to be loved and to feel secure. Therefore, I wanna advise on all parents to tell their sons or daughters or both of them .. they are still beloved in spite of their behavior.

To glide smoothly in the air

Dear friends
-

A preach was held at the Kowloon City Baptist Church on the day of 14 October 2007, It was a challenging preach to my language because all message sent from the preacher was Putonghua language. Unbelievable but it was true, over ninety percent of his message I could get, and I could understand what he wanted to convey to us.

-

The preacher said: To be a man in the street is of no value, his existence is meaningless, is easily swept away by dealth as if waves upon the shore, missing neither track nor mark behind...He expected each of us to take after an eagle, to glide smoothly in the air. In nature, eagles are differentiated from other birds mainly by their large size, more powerful build and a pair of broad wings. Like all birds of prey,eagles can use the most efficient posture to fly and can take advantage of the airstream to steady and lift the heavier body, Is that why an eagle can fly effectively! Compared to all birds..

-

On the land, We ALL do not have a pair of sky-born wings but we are able to choose the flying posture like a giant eagle, to opt for a best-fit and efficient way to fly. The preacher also stressed the point that some people chose a zigzag trail as their way of coming life, they have to face unpredicable hardship and peril in their way. By choosing to face the hardship, people like dickeybirds, they need moving the wings frequently and producing so much energy for fly.

-

If you want to smoothly glide in the air and wanna be a gaint eagle, please feel free to contact me.

如鷹展翅翶翔人生

The significance of three languages to a chinese community

Today is Thursday, 11 Oct 2007

How are you my friends?

-

We are chinese, it is no doubt, but we have ever lived under the reign of U.K. and standed between two cultures- the Chinese and English culture. Owing to the speical emphasis of English and Mandarin in the Hong Kong education system, I think we always feel that we ourselves have an inadequate training in these languages despite the hot time we have spent.

-

It is universally true that one who hopes to learn a foregin language should have learned his mother tongue first. If you are already weak at Cantonese, surely you will not make so much progress in learning English and Mandarin. Just like building a house, if the foundation is not firm enough, it will only be waste of time to build higher. Very often, many Hong Kong People, like me, are the less likely to write a good paper in Chinese, yet not to mention in English. A good presentation can clearly convey our message to other people despite it is in oral or written, it is needless to say how significant the English and Mandarin languages are to us in nowaday Hong Kong but it is necessary to say that high ability in speaking English and Mandarin will not rule out the possibility of affecting to our working areas, chance of promotion and social gatherings.

-

The purpose of this journal is to remind all friends of mine something about learning three different languages, Cantonese, English and Mandarin, and about writing two different languages, Chinese and English. Don't make them to be "Candarin, mixed with Cantonese & Mandrain" or "Chinglish- mixed with Chinese and English". My teacher told me that learning native language to all Hong Kong People is not a big problem as we are native cantonese, learning mandarin in Hong Kong will not be a big problem as speaking mandarin will be widely common in Hong Kong land, this tendency can be seen in the sectors of industry, engineering and hotel business. Finally, learning English language just a small problem as speaking English is easy as ABC.

Just a note!

Yesterday night, my friend and I participated in a preach at Kowloon City Baptist Church, the preacher is a well-known scientist in America, also he is an american-chinese. The preach was lasting for 2 hours from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. I was grateful to get in this preach because it was the most fascinating one that I have never seen before. Dr. Ng, the preacher, who preached all participants the word of god and plunged his heart into the heart of the preach. Needless to say, it was convincing and so funny there in the whole time.
