你給孩子什麼?

批評中長大的孩子,責難他人。 敵意中長大的孩子,喜歡吵架。 恐懼中長大的孩子,常常憂慮。 嘲笑中長大的孩子,個性羞怯。 猜忌中長大的孩子,容易妒嫉。 羞恥中長大的孩子,自覺有罪。 鼓勵中長大的孩子,深具自信。 寬容中長大的孩子,能夠忍耐。 稱讚中長大的孩子,懂得感恩。 認可中長大的孩子,喜歡自己。 分享中長大的孩子,慷慨大方。 誠信中長大的孩子,理解真理。 公正中長大的孩子,極富正義。 尊重中長大的孩子,懂得尊敬。 信賴中長大的孩子,不但信任他人也信任自己。 友善中長大的孩子,不但愛他人也愛自己。

香港電台 - 原來錢作怪之「語出經人」

[youtube &w=640&h=360] 「人的尊嚴永遠較金錢重要。工廠和音樂劇都是要改變生命。」 每一天,何靜瑩啃著麵包看著報紙,坐著搖晃不定的巴士到屯門的毛衫廠上班。她本來不必­如此,出身於中產家庭,有喬治華盛頓大學的學士與哈佛大學的碩士銜頭,又曾在跨國投資­公司擔任要職,大可以過著喝紅酒看法國電影的生活。不過,她的志向是要啟發、影響人的­生命,於是毅然決定開辦毛衫廠,讓一班被淘汰的女工「織出尊嚴」。她在資源較緊絀學校­搞音樂劇,要為「機會貧乏」的中學生創造機會,以音樂改變他們的人生。 「理想不可以完全用金錢去衡量。我覺得一旦現實與理想可以對話時,就好像現在的我,內­心是很平安的。」 編導:呂 樂 監製:陳志璇 來源: 香港電台《原來錢作怪》2013 #22013-06-29 http://programme.rthk.hk/rthk/tv/programme.php?d=2013-06-29&p=5863&m=episode 何靜瑩社會企業管理觀: http://youtu.be/R2S3T1K02os L plus H 專頁: http://www.facebook.com/LplusHFashion

How to travel around the world for a year

Very inspirational. I should probably do something like this sooner or later. The only other thing to consider is that quite frankly, time is running out.
