For you, my seahorse dad 至:我的海马爸爸

Which type of dad are you /  is your dad?

To all the dads in the world，thanks for:

the sweat and effort for the bread and butter

having faith in us when the whole world doubts us

always be there for us wherever we need a shoulder

nurturing us to become what we have become today

keeping our family together under any circumstances

standing in front of us whenever we feel vulnerable

dazzle us with your dauntless spirit in any hardship

aspiring us to dream and to pursue our dreams

dedicating yourself to us and your devotion to the family

Any man can be a father, but not a dad like you.

Thank you, my seahorse dad.

Happy Father's Day.

Abundance of Gratefulness,

Haven't been home for a long time 好久没回家

特与世界各地的游子们分享这首徐子崴的《好久没回家 》。

这首歌让我回忆起那段有家归不得的往事。

《好久没回家 》触动肺腑，有王维的“每逢佳节倍思亲”的味道。这一切一切的思乡思家之苦，只有离乡背井打拼的游子能深感其受。

独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。
遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人。

王维 《九月九日忆山东兄弟》

我个人最爱的一段是：

好久没回家 不是不想家
只想让爸妈早点看看都市的繁华
好久没回家 不是不想家
只想让爸妈早点享享清福啊

 

游子们，大家一起加油吧，早日把梦想实现！

好久没回家歌词
词/曲：徐子崴

那一次给家里打电话
接电话的是爸爸
好久没回家 家里还好吧
爸爸说家里挺好的
就是你在外摸爬滚打
可辛苦了你妈
她天天把你嘴边挂
你有时间要常回回家
噢 爸爸
好久没回家 不是不想家
妈妈的身体 一直是我最大的牵挂
好久没回家 不是不想家
妈妈唱的摇篮曲 时常在我梦中听见了

有一次给家里打电话
接电话的是妈妈
好久没回家 家里挺忙吧
妈妈说忙点没什么
就是你在外风吹雨打
更难为了你爸
他常常听见你叫他
还以为是你回来了
噢  妈妈
好久没回家 不是不想家
只想让爸妈早点看看都市的繁华
好久没回家 不是不想家
只想让爸妈早点享享清福啊 


念家，

Not Having 没能拥有

I came across this line (pix) that grasped my attention and reminds me a small incident which happened months ago. 

There was once where a kid was asking for some sweets from his classmate, which was another little boy. He was begging politely and gazing hopefully into his classmate's eyes. From his gaze, it was not hard to notice he was going to drool for the sweets. Yet, his classmate replied him, "No, I have limited sweets for myself, I'll give you when I have extra.". The boy did not give up and begged again. Looking at the pitiful boy, I could not just be a bystander anymore. I walked to his classmate and tried ways and means to persuade him to spare some sweets for the kid.

 

The boy frown, clutched tightly to his pack of sweets and replied, "No. I can only spare him some only when I have extra. It's useless for him to keep on begging me, as I too experienced the same as what he has experienced today. When I wanted something so badly and begged for it, I was not granted for it, so there's nothing wrong that I am not giving what he asks for."

Just to share with the little boy with his packet of sweets the line below: 

Dear little boy, you give because you had experienced of not having, not when you have extra. When you break the cycle of "not having", you'll continue to receive.


Cheers,

S.L.α

这句话(图)，让我想起了一个几个月前发生的小插曲。

有一个小孩向他的同学要一些糖果。他很有礼貌地哀求，并抱着希望地凝视着他的同学。从他的目光中，不难发现他想糖果想到垂涎三尺了。然而，他的同学却回答他说：“不行，我的糖果刚好够我自个儿的份，倘若我有多余的我就给你吧。”虽然遭到狠狠地拒绝，那小孩没有放弃，并再次央求。看着那可怜的小孩，我知道不能再当一个旁观者了。我走上前去试图说服他的同班同学答应那小孩的央求。

不料，那男孩（同班同学）却皱着眉头，紧紧地握住他那包糖果，并回答说，“当我有太多（的糖果）时才能给他些。不管他再如何哀求我都没用，我也经历了与他今天经历的一样。当我苦苦哀求我想要的东西时却没人愿意给我。照着么看来，我不给他（糖果）也没有错。

只是想与那拥有糖果的小男孩分享下面的一句话：

亲爱的小男孩，你给是因为你经历了“没能拥有”，而不是因你拥有的太多。当你打破”没能拥有”的循环,你将会继续拥有。

感恩，

Indomitable Spirit 顶天立地

Is this what's been described as indomitable spirit of men?

What's your view on this, ladies and gentlemen?  

This is rather interesting, but I still have yet to find the one which describes ladies.

" There are at least four things which a man needs to protect

The land under his feet

The parents at home

The woman in his arms  

The brothers around him "

顶天立地男子汉是这意思么？

男士女士有何看法？

我觉得这挺有意思的，可惜我还没找到诉说女士的。
