沒有值得表揚的德育文化

還記得小學的一次開放日,每名小孩各獲發一張印上「德智體群美」的白卡紙。德,品德也〜智,智力也〜體,體能也〜群,群體也〜美,藝術也。只要集齊五個印章,就能拿到紀念品一份。

昨天和孩子們三囗子往松戶的祭典逛了一逛,一如往昔,開心的永遠是小孩子的童真。街道上夾雜著大大小小的歡笑聲,可能是學琴的關係,女兒喊著要看那邊廂的演奏。正停下來全神貫注欣賞那三人組大學生表演的時候,一位日本婆婆行近我旁,分咐我把手中握著的兩隻空水杯及數支串子,放入她的塑膠袋中。經她三番四次的游説,我「無奈地」把手中的的垃圾全放進袋中,還來不及連聲多謝的同時,她已急不及代去尋找她的垃圾,悄悄地消失於人海當中。不要誤以為她是清理垃圾的人員,她,只是和我一樣的參加者。

在這個公園沒有垃圾桶、祭典後地上不留一杯、一紙的國度,這事不值得表揚,這𥚃時平常事。

小時候那「德智體群美」的紀念品,原來已永留心中。

My other prospective of "Life is good"

Life is good when you giving up your seat to a senior on a train; not taking up a seat when you are dead tired. Life is good when you having enough to eat; not having enough to waste. Life is good when you chit-chating with me over dinner; not playing with your smartphone. Life is good when you spending weekend with kids; not watching your favorite sport. Life is good when you putting away your hatred, not planning for a revenge. Life is good when you picking up the most unpleasant appearance banana over the counter; not ransacking for the freshest one. Life is good when you can plant you own food; speak up your own mind; volunteer for the needer; give up driving for a day of two to public transit.

When you feel your life isn't good enough, please try to look outside the box!

In my life

In my life, 
I have fallen, I haven't achieved,
I have failed, I have won ,
I have depressed, I have succeed, 
I have lost, l have lived,
I have earned, I have wasted,
I have shared, I have gained,
I have never regretted, because most of time, there are no way back.
