Courage Box / 勇氣盒

最後一天上課,外面陽光白亮亮的,好心情從幾個星期前慢慢地在心頭上蔓延。未到達終點以前,可以率性地說,之後我們就各自分道揚鑣,那一刻到來時,滿懷的開朗有點輕輕的感傷,因為我想看到你成長之後,可以親口對我說,對,人生的道路要一直往下走才能看到它完整的風貌、生活沒有你當初想像的困難、你開始知道自己要的是什麼、你也學到如何享受生活‧‧‧我居然有些在意,自己沒有辦法和你一起長大。

On the last day of class, the sunshine outside was so dazzling. Anticipation of the coming summer break had built up since the early June. Before the last day, I could say to you wilfully that we didn't have many days left together and you would no longer be my responsibility. But when that moment came, my light mood became kind of heavy. I'd like to hear you say to me after you grow up, "I've learned to go on living to see the whole picture of life; Life is not as difficult as I thought it'd be; I've found what I was looking for; I know now what it means to enjoy every moment of life." It's funny how I begin to mind not being able to grow up with you.

每當你哭喪著臉和我訴說生活上的困難,我總是很平靜地和你說,目前的路雖然走得坎坷,但是我相信你會好好的,泰半時你用半信半疑的眼光看著我。你要相信我,因為我的年紀幾乎是你的兩倍,因為你這麼努力地向前行,你付出的一切不會付諸流水。我最怕的是,你不再相信自己。

Whenever you came to me, tears streaming down your cheeks, I always looked at you calmly, saying, "The present moment might be difficult, but you'll be fine." Most of the time you responded with that doubtful look in your eye. You have to trust me because I am almost twice as old as you, because your efforts won't come to nothing. What scares me the most is, you no longer believe in yourself.

對於迷惘的你、膽怯的你、沒有信心的你、不快樂的你、絕望的你、沒有目標的你、害怕的你、孤獨的你,不被了解的你、負面的你,我要送你勇氣盒,傷心難過的時候就打開它,自我安慰,要不然,請你記得,人生永遠不只你想的那樣,會有更好更糟的時候,而我們活著,就是要走過這一切,才會體驗最終的美好。

For those who are confused, timid, diffident, unhappy, despairing, lost, afraid, lonely, not understood, negative, I want to give you a courage box. When you are baffled and frustrated, please open it and you'll find treasures that lift your spirits. If not, please bear in mind, life is more than you think you know. There are better and worse moments. And living is all about going through moments just to experience its ultimate beauty.

祝福你‧‧‧

With all the good luck in the world...

Your students seem to be very lucky to have you as a teacher. You must be their favourite one!

謝謝你小金,網路上的互相尊重是很重要的。

Marc: I am not sure if my students consider them lucky, but I always run into some who become my friends and that is one of the best things about my job!
