"這一生,至少要當一次傻瓜"讀後感

圓神出版社的這本書,我在商周看到了介紹,光是看到簡介,就讓我有點心動
傻瓜,是LP一輩子都要投黑票必然的結果
可是,到底是怎樣的傻瓜呢?

木村秋則,這一個傻瓜了將近七年,在把家都弄垮了,自己都已經想要自殺了的苦難折磨下,
終於看到了曙光!他所堅持的無農藥種植法,終於看到了碩大的蘋果。

這個無農藥的種出來蘋果,即便放了兩年也不會腐爛,只會乾掉!!
日本NHK播出之後,應觀眾要求重播了上百次以上

自然農法的種植,其實最重要的核心是,尊重所種植的物品,也是大自然生命中的一環
不去任意的除去雜草,使得蘋果樹能夠將根深入土壤,而不像過度餵食肥料的果樹
不需要將根伸得遠遠的,待在原地就有得吃,而一遇到颱風,就倒掉了
木村阿公的蘋果樹,遇到颱風,雖然也有的會倒,但是因為根紮得深,所以倒的數量很少

對於公司的領導,對於孩子的教育,都是一樣的啊!
不要給予過多的養分,讓同仁讓孩子,自己想辦法去成長
適度的協助,除去路上的荊棘,讓他們知道正確的時候該做正確的事情即可

尊重自然,尊重生命!
謝謝木村阿公,給我上了寶貴的一課

不懂的,也可以去聽聽看阿公爽朗的笑聲 心情也會很棒喔!!

亞洲慢慢來 春日溫泉的感動

看完了書 再看DVD是截然不同的感受啊!!

我感動於沖繩的孩子 認真且非常享受的在傳承自己的文化與歷史
他們跳舞的樣子 真誠而且快樂
那個表情 我真的無法忘記 雖然我不是親自到沖繩
但是謝謝vicky透過鏡頭讓這個表情 傳到地球的另外一個角落

看到沖繩的海 我都想要去騎車了 慢慢的騎
享受那個天與海的交界
上次去環島 因為有時間的壓力 在南台灣 其實往前衝的成分比較多
雖然我一直想要保持愉快的心情去欣賞南台灣的風情
但是逆風實在大 體力也實在不夠 不容易做到放心

那個海跟沙灘 純淨且自然 好想像Pinky 一樣從橋上跳下去喔!!

然後看到屋久島的這個小島 如此天然
我也好想上去喔!!慢慢的生活著!!

剛剛看到在春日溫泉睡覺前 Pinky說的那段話
他相信這輩子遇到的人 都不是這輩子才認識的
所以他們環遊世界 一個一個的把老朋友找出來
我看了之後覺得超級感動啊!
如此正向的看待生命的大輪迴
前一陣子 我才終於知道我是誰
從哪來 為何來
甘心且歡喜的在這世界行走著
雖然會在行走的時候 犯了不少錯 造了不少業
但不以這為意 繼續往前 繼續練習
等待我所期望的日子的來臨

他們兩個人的想法好特別 他們來這個世界來找朋友啊!
真有趣!!
然後那位堂過美智社長 溫暖的笑容
尤其是隔天早上一群人為Vicky 與Pinky 歡送的那個場景
雖然早就知道日本人是很有禮貌的人
但是看到他們如此歡送這兩位朋友
心裡 真的感動於這樣的溫暖
眼淚都不自覺的流下來了

My daughter send me a bag of Osmanthus water

Tonight when I try to took the meal box from my daughter's backpack, I found a plastic bag with some water. It makes the backpack wet. I am curious why does she put a bag of water inside of her backpack. She told me with smile:"Dad, it's for you, Osmanthus water!" I am so surprised! My daughter, how does she know I like Osmanthus? It must be one week ago, when I was in the biz trip in China, I told her that when I walked on the street, time to time I can smell the flavor of Osmanthus. I love the flavor so much! And she remembers this. So when today she played around in the morning, she found the Osmanthus in the school. She stopped, and took some flowers from the tree. She found 2 bags because she thought that only one bag with water will leak. She put all the flowers in the first bag and fill with some water then she tied it up and put into another bag. Then she carefully put into her backpack and then she forgot what she've done completely until I found that bag which is put in the bottom of the backpack.

She is so lovely!!

I put all the water and the flowers in a bottle and then she learned. She knows next time, she will put all the flowers and water in a bottle without worry about the leakage problem. I can see she knew this from her eyes without saying anything.

Tonight is really a good night, isn't it?

Walk into China again

Since 2004, this is the 5th time to fly to China. Especially after reading the book "Long River, Wide Sea" written by Ms. YinTai Lon, I have some special feeling.

When I was a student, I was educated that people in Mainland China were suffered and waiting for our salvation. It seemed that we have wring impression of this country. It's getting more and more free in China. Yes, we still cannot log on Youtube, Facebook, PC Home, and many websites since China government blocked all those "inadequate" information and may damage their regime.

But I do see more and more people are getting rich. Many people are still struggling for the life and death, but even in modern country, such as Taiwan or USA, we can also find poverty everywhere.

But I also find one thing which is very interesting. Many cities look like almost the same. When we step out of the train station, no matter which one I am, except the sign board of the name of this place is different, the architecture of the station is almost the same; the design of the downtown is almost the same; the queue waiting for taxi is almost the same. It can be Wu Lu Mu Chi, Nan Jing, or Tien Jing. Yes, ShenZhen, Shanghai and Beijing are quite different because of the level of the city are different from others.

Without getting on a taxi, we cannot go anywhere. But to take taxi is a king of battle. I can always find there are people waiting in front of me. Then I walk to the front, maybe even I walk 30 mins already, there are still people there waving their hands to taxi driver. After 30 mins waiting, if luckily, there is a taxi which is empty and driving close to me, I need to open the door quickly otherwise, there will be someone I don't know sneaks out and catches on the taxi and shuts the door and leaves. Gosh!

The price of the food in Mc Donald and KFC is almost the same in Taipei and in USA. But in Taipei, the wage is 3 times of the people work in Shanghai as a white collar worker. Then I guess people cannot afford to eat in McDonald or KFC frequently. But it's always crowed and full there! Then I wonder how come people can eat there. Then I notice, there are 18M people in Shanghai which is almost equivalent with the population in Netherlands. But the Shanghai is only 1/7 of Netherlands for the land. So even people is seldom having food in McDonald or KFC, ugh, we can always see the over crowded restaurants.

China is also the only country in the world building many subways in many cities. Because of the population, it is not allowed to let people have freedom to apply for the license plate of a car. People need to take a bid! If we say a 4 persons family owned a car, then how can you image 4M cars moving in a city? Air pollution, nosie pollution, etc. will come at the same time terribly. So to make people live in the metropolitan happily and easily, mass transportation must be very convenience. No wonder we will see subways in more than 40 cities in China.

龍應台的大江大海讀後感

Sando給我這本書之前,跟我先提了他的感想,當他把書交到我手上的時候,如同那天晚上我們兩個對話時我說的,那是許許多多的人的生命啊!

翻開書來看,其實手有點顫抖,因為,我知道,國共內戰的故事我看了很多,那裡頭,是許許多多家庭親人的永別,那裡頭,是無止盡的思念跟割心的絕望!讀了之後,是絕難心情好起來的。可是,我還是忍不住想去看看那些人的生命,透過龍應台的筆下,是怎樣的令人唏噓。

在許多人的年輕歲月以及現代的花白頭髮歲月交錯中,這本書,跨越了中國的疆界,也談論到歐洲的戰爭。不論是誰打誰,滿足個人政治欲望的旗幟下,永遠是許多人的犧牲。

風檐展書讀,古道照顏色。一本古文觀止,牽扯出一甲子的歲月,我相信是當初贈書者始料未及的。這一甲子的動盪,影響了許多人的生命,滋潤了許多人的氣質,更傳承了中國的文學及文化,最後回到贈書人的手上,這個情感的牽絆哪!一甲子的感謝,一甲子的感動。當書回到手上的時候,泛黃的紙片,有許多小手的指印在上頭,而這些印上指印的小手,如今,都已經是祖父母等級的,充滿皺紋的大手。

被外族侵略,我們覺得可恥,自己人打自己人呢?每個兵,都是一顆棋,被別人下的棋。只是沒想到,當自己殺了對方的棋時,自己忘了自己的傷痛,還沾沾自喜的慶祝自己的勝利,嘲笑對方的失敗,真的忘記了這些人在不久前,都跟自己一樣,是被抓來的!一樣的無辜,一樣的無奈。這讓我想起了不久前讀到衣索比亞的童兵的故事。人已經變成了機器,沒有血淚。孫立人將軍打贏了一仗,出來的時候看見滿地不論敵我陣營的屍體,那些躺在地上的,幾秒鐘前都是國家的希望啊!都是他們父母心頭肉,或者是妻兒子女的依靠!怎麼現在躺在地上,失去了快樂的笑容,充滿的驚恐的表情?!打的都是同胞啊!

那些在社區裡,看似頑固的老兵,其實每個人的背後,都有一段光輝燦爛的歷史故事。他們都是自己生命中的英雄,因此才能活到現在。有許多人,受不了精神上的折磨,很早就放棄對生命的熱愛,結束自己的生命。這種情形,在美國打越戰回來的士兵身上最常發生。

我們真的很慶幸,生在這個沒有戰爭的年代。也不要因為慶幸,就忘記戰爭的傷痛。即便現在沒有戰爭,人與人之間,仍舊爭鬥不休!為了私人利益,雖然現在爭鬥不至於出人命,但是對於彼此的感情,一點幫助也無。看看王永慶先生身後,家族為了遺產的爭奪而對簿公堂的荒唐事。他們每個人都已經極其富有,可是精神層面卻又如此匱乏。面對兄弟手足,都可以放棄之間的聯繫,更遑論家與家,國與國之間的爭鬥呢?

人類可以訴諸於戰爭的理由太多,可以放下武器的勇氣太少!今天日本人可以安心的走在台北街頭,台灣人也大批大批前往日本去觀光,誰看得出一甲子前,這兩國人民處於統治與被統治,甚至是對抗及交戰狀態呢

放下爭鬥的原因,我們真的都是兄弟姐妹,手足同胞。不是怪政客操弄,而是在生活上,也不要因為自身的利益關係就與他人劃清界線。對自己與對他人,多一份包容,多一份體貼,多一份溫暖。
