little act, big effect
omygoodness. haha.
一位小三宝宝见到我便双手举过头，边跑边叫，想要抱我。
哈哈哈！太可爱了，我只好抓住他双手向他问个好，然后叫他回去坐位。:D

什么叫断章取义，什么叫曲解？
今日，本本同学看了“什么叫断章取义，什么叫曲解——你被骗了多少年？”一文，并大发感慨。
原文中有这样一段话：
书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟
这句话出自庄子的“吾生有崖，而知无崖。”一向被尊为金科玉律。
但原句：“吾生有崖，而知无崖，以有崖求无崖，殆哉矣 (dai4 zai1 yi3)。”- 矣指的是‘已经’，是一种助词。意思是：人的生命是有限的,知识是无限的,用有限的生命去追求无限的知识,那是很危险的。也就是说，庄子真正想表达的是：生命有限，不该没完没了地去追无限的知识。
本本同学大喜，于是开始抨击中国的教育体制，原话的大意是：你看中国的教育就是断章取义，然后曲解加洗脑；学校里教条主义的教育，步入社会就被大染缸所污染。
不否认本本同学的话有一点道理，但更多的只是一副愤世嫉俗的洒脱。
其实“书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟”是出自韩愈的。对于“吾生有崖，而知无崖，以有崖求无崖，殆哉矣。”这句话，我在网上还看到有这样的解释：
我的生命是有限的，但是知识是无穷无尽的。我要以我有限的生命去寻求无限的知识，即使死了也知足了。
到底哪种解释更贴切呢？不好说，因为仅仅就这句话是不够的，应该再看看原文
“吾生也有涯，而知也无涯，以有涯随无涯，殆己！已而为知者，殆而已矣。为善无近名，为恶无近刑，缘督以为经，可以保身，可以余生，可以养亲，可以尽年。” 出自《庄子·养生主》，其含义为：
人的生命是有限的，而知识是无穷的，以有限的生命去追求无穷的知识，就会搞得精疲力竭。养生的人不会为了追求名声而刻意去做好事，更不会为了触犯刑律而去做坏事，把顺着自然规律，做为处事的法则，就可以保护生命，保全天性，可以养护精神，享尽天年的。
可以看出庄子是一个追崇顺其自然，清净无为的洒脱人物，他认为人吃个饭，饱了就行，没什么必要追求奢华，穿个衣，别冻着就行，实在不需与什么人攀比。他这句话的含义不是求学而是养生，所以我个人认为句里的“知”，不应该理解为知识，而是更广的事物，当然我不是学史的，无法考证。不过本本同学自己也断章取义了一会，搬起石头砸自己的脚。

really interesting article!

virgin post
Hello there. :)
Can't believe i finally started a blog after.. decades? lol! i always felt it's reali tedious to create one (which is true to a certain extent. tried changing e blogskin but to no avail. -.-) hence i jus refused to start one. hmm.. after much coaxing from friends, finally decided to create my own { tiny shed }
I guess this would be a more private and enclosed space as compared to facebook, and i hope it'd b an avenue for us to learn from each others' life experiences. wanted to name my blog 'my tiny world' but decided shed would signify a place for rest n rejuvenation. <3
Mentoring at Evergreen Bees, 9Mar 2011 was an enriching experience for me, esp since i'm gonna b a chinese teacher soon! ohmygawd~ haha. gave english tuition to a mentee named David. realised he had much difficulty reading eng words although he understood wad i was sayin. sigh. he knew his weakness was recognising long words and tried v hard by reading comprehension passages n qns aloud, w/o me requesting him to. :) Play session allowed me to understand more about this child, who has deep interest in cooking and drawing. i guess everyone is indeed talented in a way or another.
Reflection session for mentors allowed us to share w ea other the various methods we used, probs faced, n even ways to improve the childrens' learning. i raised e issue of children like David needing someone to be beside to prompt n guide e individual esp when it comes to reading texts, underlining each syllable of a word would greatly improve their reading skills. I wish him all e best be it in his academic studies, his burning passion for cooking, or his talent in art. :)
Went shopping for awhile wif Maxie at Orchard Central. ohmy. $96 cufflinks?! haha tt's reali generous of him, as always. :) i simply adored 'the black market' . designs were reali unique thr. guess i do miss e blue singlet afterall :b
Met mum at 313 for dinner~ yummy 肉搓面 frm food republic~ managed to get belt n socks frm taka (vouchers, yay!).
Ohman. my butt hurts aft sitting so long in front of lappy. HAHA!
Till we meet agn. :)
p.s. sigh.. my bracket broke last nite (mus b the crab daddy daobao-ed frm Jumbo at Dempsey). dr Ho only in office tmw morning. :c
