機會ㄧ直在身邊by jocelyn
eng | 27 四月, 2009 09:28你是等待機會,錯失機會,還是把握機會?)
機會ㄧ直在身邊
有一個老人有天晚上碰到一個天使，這個天使告訴他說， 有大事要發生在他身上了，
他有機會得到很大的財富，在社會上獲得卓越的地位， 並且娶到一個漂亮的妻子。
這個人終其一生都在等待這個奇蹟的承諾，可是甚麼事也沒發生。
這個人窮困地渡過了他的一生，最後孤獨的老死了。
當他上了天堂，他又看到了那個天使，
他對天使說：「你說過要給我財富， 很高的社會地位和漂亮的妻子的，我等了一輩子，卻甚麼也沒有。」
天使回答他：「我沒說過那種話。我只承諾過要給你機會得到財富，
一個受人尊重的社會地位和一個漂亮的妻子， 可是你卻讓這些從你身邊溜走了。」
這個人迷惑了，他說：「我不明白你的意思。」
天使回答道：「你記得你曾經有一次想到一個好點子， 可是你沒有行動，因為你怕失敗而不敢去嘗試。」
這個人點點頭。天使繼續說：「因為你沒有去行動， 這個點子幾年後被給了另外一個人，那個人一點也不害怕地去做了，
你可能記得那個人，他就是後來變成全國最有錢的那個人。
還有，你應該還記得，有一次城裡發生了大地震， 城裡大半的房子都毀了，好幾千? 很多人被困在倒塌的房子裡，
你有機會去幫忙拯救那些存活的人， 可是你卻怕小偷會趁你不在家的時候，到你家裡去打劫，偷東西，
你以這作為藉口，故意忽視那些需要你幫助的人， 而只是守著自己的房子。」
這個人不好意思地點點頭。天使說：「 那是你的好機會去拯救幾百個人， 而那個機構可以使你在城裡得到多大的尊榮和榮耀啊！
天使繼續說：「你記不記得有一個頭髮烏黑的漂亮女子， 那個你曾經非常強烈地被吸引的，
你從來不曾這麼喜歡過一個女人， 之後也沒有再碰到過像她這麼好的女人。
可是你想她不可能會喜歡你，更不可能會答應跟你結婚， 你因為害怕被拒絕，就讓她從你身旁溜走了。」
這個人又點點頭，可是這次他流下了眼淚。
天使說：「我的朋友啊！就是她！她本來應是你的妻子， 你們會有好幾個漂亮的小孩，
而且跟她在一起，你的人生將會有許許多多的快樂。」
我們每天身邊都會圍繞著很多的機會，包括愛的機會。
可是我們經常像故事裡的那個人一樣，總是因為害怕而停止了腳步， 結果機會就溜走了。
我們因為害怕被拒絕而不敢跟人們接觸； 我們因為害怕被嘲笑而不敢跟人們溝通情感； 我們因為害怕失落的痛苦而不敢對別人付出?
不過，我們比故事裡的那個人多了一個優勢。那就是我們還活著!
我們可以從現在起抓住那些機會。

Beautiful
(Cherie Call)
(Cherie Call)
Look at all the signs, Look at all the shows
All the glamorous people who claim to know
What perfection is and what makes beauty stay
But when all the styles go out and the labels fade away
It's what you give that makes you beautiful
It's how you live that makes your dreams come true
Keep your faith in this world,
And let the light of the Lord shine through
That's what makes you beautiful
Nothing burns as bright, nothing shimmers so
As the smile of a friend when hope is running low
And how your hand feels warm when you dry a tear
Love is still in fashion at the end of every year
Even roses fade away in the snow
But the beauty in your heart can always grow

There was a girl who rode a bike
"You have to try again
The girl grew up and lost her heart
"You have to try again
Everyone will fall a time or two and
Cause there is a world that's full of light
"You have to try again |

pray for rain ...posted by jocelyn

No
(Cherie Call)
A little boy
at the end of a day knelt by his bed to say a prayer
And Father up in Heaven heard the prayer he prayed And listened to each word with greatest care The boy said, "Please bless that tomorrow I won't have to take a bath, And bless that they will cancel school for snow." And God had the power to protect him and never let him grow But He said, "No."
A young man was holding tightly to the hand of a girl who had to say
goodbye And as she walked away he had to whisper a prayer As he fought every tear that filled his eyes He whispered, "Please can you make her turn around and change her mind? It's the deepest hurt that I have ever known." And God had the power to protect him and never let him grow But He said, "No."
And there are yeses that our father can hardly wait to give
And they are packed in every crevice of the lives we live Sometimes God will pour down miracles and amazing twists of fate And other times He chooses just to whisper, "Wait."
How many times have I prayed for blue skies
So no one has to cancel the game And I feel so abandoned when the sky gets dark Never knowing all the ones who prayed for rain And usually the story's even trickier than this With solutions that only God could know But if you ask Him if He's ever overlooked you Or ceased to love you so He'll say, "No." |

有效的學習模式 by jocelyn
eng | 17 四月, 2009 10:24
有效的學習模式
根據NLP（Neuro-Linguistic Programming，神經語言學）的研究指出，一般人在學習一項新事物的過程中，大概可分為四個階段：
1.不知覺不足（Unconscious Incompetence）
學習者不知道自己不懂什麼。原因可能有兩個：
(1)缺乏學習的方向與目標，同時也缺乏在實際運用上的回饋，不知道要加強那些部分，仍處在迷迷糊糊的狀態。
(2)自己不知道的事卻以為自己知道了，表現出一幅自以為是的樣子，排斥學習，類似自我催眠，是屬於無知的狀態。
2.自覺不足（Conscious Incompetence）
當一個人自覺不足時，才真正進入學習的旅程。各種生活或工作上的挑戰，使我們遭受挫折、困難，這正是成長的契機。奇異公司總裁Jack Welch，是最擅長使用「伸展」（Stretching）的策略-把表現的標竿提高，完成不可能的任務。這種「伸展」
會使人打破現狀，嘗試一些以前沒有做過的事，因而再創高峰。因此，這種”自覺不足”的刺激乃是終身學習的動力來源。
3.自覺有能力（Consious Competence）
在這個階段中，個人已對某種技巧有相當程度的掌握能力，懂得如何運用學到的技巧。它的優點是：純熟、穩健、效率；缺點則是僵化、保守、沒有創意。事實上，第三階段的表現過當，就會變成為第一階段。因此要非常小心，千萬不能自滿。這時侯最重要的是打開心門虛心學習，欣賞別人的長處，讚美人家的優點，用好奇的心學習，並經常問下列二個有力的問題（Powerful Question）：
＊他是怎麼做到的？
＊有那些是我還可以學習的？
如此一來，就可以不斷擴大自己的學習領域，而邁向更高的學習境界。
4.不自覺有能力（Unconscious Competence）
許多具有神奇魅力（Charisma）的大師級人物，當他們被問到：「你為什麼如此有魅力？」時，得到的回答往往是：「我不知道！」到了學習的第四階段，整個人就是在展現他所知道的。那些知識、技巧、能力已經跟他本人融合為一，是一種很深的內化潛意識學習。這就像武俠小說中所說的，已經進入化境了；沒有固定的招式，但卻能視狀況的不同，展現出無窮的變化，非常靈活有彈性。
NLP對學習有一個很特別的信念：「在這個世
