＜我的母亲＞征文赛

荣幸参加此比赛，也想在此post 我的文章，纪念我的母亲，也抒发我对母亲的思念，谢谢您，妈妈！

＜我的母亲＞

这星期日早上看到＜我的母亲＞征文赛，决定参加，就开始用手机做个草稿，顺便上互联网听一听曾淑勤的＜魯冰花＞，眼泪就开始涌现，哽咽了许久。。

我母亲名叫黄家美，在家中是大姐姐，有兄弟们和妹妹们。在母亲年轻时，住在乡下，上厕所要到屋外。曾经有次她要上厕所，打开厕所门，看见一尾眼睛蛇正朝她方向前来，母亲养的黑狗瞬间扑过去，和眼睛蛇搏斗，过后，蛇溜走了，但狗被咬伤了，却救了母亲一命，不久后，黑狗只就中毒身亡，母亲当时很伤心难过，也很感恩身边有只很好和忠心的黑狗。

母亲为人很亲切随和，爱好和谐，和左邻右舍守望相助，常常烹制美味的食物如薄饼或叻沙，然后和家人，亲朋，邻居一起享用。

母亲超喜爱喝咖啡，每天三点多，下午茶时间，她就会冲着香浓美味的咖啡，等着和她妹妹们（我的阿姨们）一起享用，她们的好感情是非笔墨能形容，手足情是那么的珍贵。

母亲是传统典型相夫教子的女人，她准备好午餐或晚餐，若我们饿了，她会让我们子女先吃，她会等父亲回家后一起和父亲低声细语的边聊边吃。

母亲性格不大胆，常会为了子女忧心，而睡不着觉。。若让我比喻，我认为我的母亲是一位上天派来的菩萨，她为子女与家人，是百分之10，000的投入和付出，从不为自己想，只为儿女家人牺牲且付出所有。

所谓“养儿一百岁，长忧九十九”

小学时，我在马路上玩耍跌破头，她就在我身旁，担心到手发抖，看着医生帮我缝针，她一直问医生，我有没有破相。

我的中学PMR考试放榜，她用心良苦的拜托外公驾车载她到我正在露营的营地通知我的成绩。母亲看着我的学业起起落落，上下起伏，若我中五SPM成绩放榜，我的国文拿到个7（没及格），到槟城韩江私立中学读中六，当时我住在学校附近，母亲每晚8点准时打电话给我，探我近况，和我当时的包租婆聊得相当的有默契，若形同姐妹，马来语七月考卷（July paper）放榜，她非常开心的打电话到我住的地方通知我这及格的喜讯，她比我还担心和操心。

每天早上，母亲很早就骑着她的轻型脚踏车(mini bicycle) 到菜市去买菜和早餐，母亲买来的云吞面真的特别好吃，母亲烹煮的拿手好菜有黑炸肉，豆油肉，肉卷，薄切咸菜，炸肉团配番茄酱，炸咸鱼炒豆芽，ABC汤，咸菜汤，紫菜汤，每次旁晚我回到家，就会跑到厨房，母亲就会介绍今晚的菜式，每次吃饭，我都会加饭，我父亲每天都吃两碗饭喔。

母亲照顾我和姐姐是无微不至的，我们和朋友出去玩，到晚上十点半还没回家，我们一定会拨个电话给在家的她，好让她和父亲放心。

我还记得姐姐嫁了后的某一个夜晚，母亲还没上门锁，说要等姐姐回来，我即使和她说‘’去睡吧，姐姐已在夫家了。‘’

我还记得和母亲看的最后一部电影侏罗纪公园3（Jurassic Park 3），母亲说这部戏很精彩，剧情好紧张，我还记得很清楚我们当时的笑声和紧张呐喊声，落幕时母亲拍手叫好！

母亲教会我要会‘’舍得‘’，能舍便会得到，她要我学会真心诚意满满的付出，照顾好家人，也要回馈社会，以我们的能力帮助社会上需要帮忙的人。

母亲最喜爱的影片就是＜魯冰花＞，这是她和我表妹一起去电影院看的，过后，母亲时常哼哼唱唱一小段这首歌，让我不知不觉也爱上了这首歌。

‘’天上的星星不說話， 地上的娃娃想媽媽，天上的眼睛眨呀眨， 媽媽的心呀魯冰花‘’ - 每一次听到这首歌曲，满满与母亲一起的回忆都会涌现，眼睛也会红着，泛着泪光，哽咽的说不出话来。。

想起佛陀曾说过：一切都是因为因缘，父母与孩子们也是。因为一切因缘际会，我成为母亲您的孩子，当缘份尽了，我们就得坦然面对离别分开。

现在，母亲已不在了，已到极乐世界去，我们的家也从此缺了个‘美’字，为了找回母亲的味道，我常在家乡附近的茶餐厅吃杂饭，看到餐厅阿姨烹煮的佳肴，很多都是似曾相识，母亲曾煮过，我都会特别选这些佳肴来吃。

虽然母亲已不在了，但母亲的这份‘’无敌没得比‘’的爱，无私奉献的好，永远铭记于我们的心中，永远！永远！

<My Mother>

This Sunday morning, I saw the "My Mother" essay contest and decided to participate. I started drafting it on my phone, and while I was at it, I listened to Zeng Shuqin's "Lupin Flower" online. Tears welled up, and I choked up for a long time.

My mother's name is Huang Jiamei. She's the eldest sister in her family, with brothers and sisters. When she was young, we lived in the countryside, and we had to go outside to use the toilet. Once, when she opened the door to use the toilet, she saw a cobra coming towards her. Her black dog instantly pounced and fought the cobra. Afterward, the snake escaped, but the dog was bitten, saving my mother's life. Not long after, the dog died from poisoning. My mother was heartbroken and very grateful to have such a good and loyal dog by her side.

My mother was very kind and easy-going, loved harmony, and helped her neighbors. She often cooked delicious food like pancakes or laksa, which she then shared with family, friends, and neighbors.

 My mother loves coffee. Every day around 3 PM, during afternoon tea time, she would brew a rich and delicious cup, waiting to enjoy it with her sisters (my aunts). Their close bond is indescribable; sibling affection is so precious.

My mother is a traditional, devoted wife and mother. She prepares lunch or dinner, and if we are hungry, she lets us eat first, waiting for my father to come home so they can eat together quietly, chatting.

My mother is not bold and often worries about her children, losing sleep over it. If I were to use a metaphor, I would say my mother is a Bodhisattva sent from heaven. She gives 10,000% to her children and family, never thinking of herself, sacrificing everything for them.

As the saying goes, "Raising a child for a hundred years, worrying for ninety-nine." When I was in elementary school, I fell and scraped my head while playing in the street. She was right beside me, her hands trembling with worry. Watching the doctor stitch me up, she kept asking if I was disfigured.

 When my secondary school PMR exam results were released, she painstakingly asked my grandfather to drive her to the campsite where I was camping to inform me of my results. My mother had watched my studies rise and fall. If my Form 5 SPM results were released, and I got a 7 in Malay (failing), I would have gone to Han Chiang Private Secondary School in Penang for Form 6. At the time, I lived near the school, and my mother would call me every night at 8 pm to check on me. She and my landlady at the time had a very good rapport, almost like sisters. When the July Malay exam results were released, she was overjoyed and called me to tell me the good news that I had passed. She was even more worried and concerned than I was.

 Every morning, my mother would ride her mini bicycle to the market very early to buy groceries and breakfast. The wonton noodles she bought were especially delicious. Her specialties included fried pork belly, braised pork with soybean paste, meat rolls, thinly sliced ​​pickled vegetables, fried meatballs with ketchup, fried salted fish with bean sprouts, ABC soup, pickled vegetable soup, and seaweed soup. Every evening when I got home, I would run to the kitchen, and my mother would describe the dishes for that evening. I always had extra rice with my meals, and my father ate two bowls of rice every day!

My mother took meticulous care of my sister and me. If we went out with friends and hadn't returned home by 10:30 pm, we would always call her to reassure her and my father.

I also remember one night after my sister got married, my mother hadn't locked the door yet, saying she was waiting for my sister to come home. Even though I told her, "Go to sleep, my sister is already at her husband's house."  I still remember the last movie I watched with my mother, Jurassic Park 3. She said it was fantastic, the plot so suspenseful. I clearly remember our laughter and excited shouts. At the end, she clapped and cheered!

My mother taught me the importance of "giving," that by giving, you will receive. She wanted me to learn to give sincerely, to take care of my family, and to give back to society, using my abilities to help those in need.

My mother's favorite movie was *Lupin Flower*, which she watched with my cousin. Afterwards, she would often hum a short part of the song, and I unknowingly fell in love with it too.

"The stars in the sky don't speak, the children on earth miss their mothers, the eyes in the sky blink, mother's heart is like a lupin flower"—every time I hear this song, a flood of memories of my mother floods back, my eyes redden, tears well up, and I choke up, unable to speak.  I recall the Buddha saying: everything is due to cause and effect, including the relationship between parents and children. Because of all these causes and conditions, I became your child, Mother. When that connection ends, we must face separation with equanimity.

Now, Mother is no longer here; she has gone to the Pure Land. Our home is forever missing its beauty. To find the taste of home, I often eat at the local tea restaurant near my hometown. Many of the dishes the restaurant staff cooks look familiar; they are dishes my mother used to cook. I always make a point of choosing these dishes.

Although Mother is gone, her unparalleled love and selfless devotion will forever be etched in our hearts, forever and ever!

从＜求＞到＜给＞。。

从「求」到「给」

繁忙的生活里，我喜欢在下班途中听听觉培法师的开示。最近听到一个主题——《从求到给》，让我感触良多。

回想自己从小到大，其实一直都活在「求」当中。

小时候面对考试，总会求神拜佛，希望能够顺利过关。从小学到中学，一次又一次的测验、大大小小的考试，仿佛都在祈求中度过。

长大后，当工作不顺、人际关系受挫、人生遇到坎坷时，也会习惯性地向神佛祈祷，希望得到庇佑与帮助。虽然人生的道路依然跌跌撞撞、高低起伏，但每一次的祈求，总能让自己获得一点安心与依靠。

久而久之，「求」，似乎成了一种理所当然。

然而，不知道从什么时候开始，我也渐渐的学习付出，学习帮助别人。

当看见别人因自己的一句鼓励而重拾信心，因自己的一点协助而解决困难时，内心竟生起一种前所未有的力量。那种满足感，并不是从＜求＞中获得而来，而是从＜给予＞而来。

过去的我，总希望从「求」中得到些什么；如今却发现，从「给」中得到的反而更多。

得到的，不一定是金钱或回报，而是一种精神层面的富足，一种内心的踏实与渐渐变得强大。

接触星云大师提倡的《人间佛教》后，我对「给」与「付出」更有深刻的体会。佛法并不只是停留在祈求与保佑，而是鼓励我们把慈悲落实在人间，把关怀化为行动。

当我们在「求」的时候，也许能够获得恰到好处的帮助；但当我们在「给」的时候，却会发现自己拥有超越问题的力量。

因为帮助别人时，我们必须先理解别人的烦恼与处境；在设法协助对方的过程中，自己的智慧、耐心与慈悲也在不断成长。当别人的问题得到化解时，我们不仅帮助了对方，也成就了更好的自己。

原来，人生最大的收获，有时候并不是获得多少，而是付出了多少。

从「求」到「给」，看似只是一个字的转变，却是一种心境的提升；从期待神明照亮自己，到愿意成为别人生命中的一道光。

而那份由付出所带来的感动与喜悦，往往比获得更加长久，也更加深刻。

小小一只燕

小小一只燕

小小一只燕，

身微五脏全。

穿梭青林里，

轻舞碧云天。

不畏风和雨，

不惧苦与难。

振翅迎长空，

昂然越远山。

掠过平湖上，

倒映水中烟。

心若向自由，

天地自无边。

一身虽渺小，

志气却冲天。

翱翔乾坤里，

自在天地间。

人算不如天算

人算不如天算

观赏世界杯球赛时，看到球王与队友之间那种默契无间的配合，实在令人赞叹。

球王一记精准的高球传到龙门前，队友仿佛早已心领神会，顺势跃起头槌破门。那一瞬间的精彩，绝非偶然，而是无数次训练、无数次磨合所累积出来的成果。个人能力固然重要，但团队合作与彼此信任，更是成功不可或缺的关键。

然而，人生的霉运往往不像球场上的战术那样能够完全掌控，避不可避。

就在这个星期，我竟然连续两次遇到同样的情况。开车驶入收费站，准备使用 Smart Tag 自动缴费时，前方车辆却突然显示“Baki Kurang”（余额不足），导致栏杆无法开启。对方只好倒车换道，我也被迫停下等待，再另寻车道通行。

说起来，这种情况发生的机率并不高，却偏偏让我接连遇上。那一刻不禁让人感叹：人算不如天算。

我们总喜欢规划，喜欢计算，喜欢把事情安排得井井有条，以为一切都会按照预期进行。可是现实中，总会有一些意想不到的小插曲出现。有时是一场突如其来的大雨，有时是一辆余额不足的车辆，有时甚至是一件完全无法预测的事情。

佛法常说：“世事无常。”并非要我们悲观，而是提醒我们明白，世界并不是围绕着我们的计划运转。努力固然重要，准备固然必要，但面对无法控制的变数时，学会接纳与随缘，也是一种智慧。

球场上，球员努力训练，争取胜利；人生里，我们认真规划，尽力而为。但最终结果如何，往往还需要许多因缘条件配合。

所以，当一切顺利时，心怀感恩；当计划赶不上变化时，也不必过于懊恼。尽人事，听天命，以平常心面对得失成败，或许才能在人生这场漫长的比赛中，踢出最自在的一场好球。

我这样的执着

＜我这样的执着＞

我有一种执着。

一种对生命中美好人事物的执着。

因为我深深明白，人生无常。没有人知道，明天和意外，究竟哪一个会先到来。正因为如此，我更珍惜每一次相遇，更珍惜每一段缘分，更珍惜每一个平凡却珍贵的当下。

我会紧紧握住生命中所有的美好，不是因为害怕失去，而是因为懂得拥有的不易。

我希望此生不留白，不辜负这难得的人生旅程。趁着还有能力去爱、去付出、去感受、去创造，就善用有限的今生，去开创无限的可能。

与爱人相伴，与家人同行，与亲人相聚，与朋友谈笑。

一起吃一顿饭，一起看一次日落，一起分享生活中的喜怒哀乐，一起走过平凡而温暖的岁月。

因为我知道，人生最珍贵的财富，不是拥有多少，而是曾经真心相待；不是走得多远，而是在有限的时光里，留下多少温暖的回忆。

愿我们都能珍惜眼前人，珍惜眼前景，珍惜每一个今天，当下。

把每一天都活成值得珍藏的回忆，让生命的篇章写满感恩、欢笑与爱，让这一生，无怨无悔，不负此行。

佛学与科学 - 理论，理解到应用

佛法与科学——从理论，理解到应用

今天放工回程时，听着觉培法师的《看开一点》视频。

法师提到，人间佛教的精神，不只是理解宝贵的佛法，更重要的是把佛法运用在人间，帮助解决现实生活中的问题与苦难，让人在纷纷扰扰的红尘世界中，获得智慧、安定与离苦得平静。

常听人说：

“面对机器容易，坏了维修就会好；但面对人事，却难上千万里。”

机器有说明书，有故障可以维修；而人的情绪、执着、欲望、偏见与烦恼，却往往错综复杂。也正因为如此，佛法才显得格外珍贵。它不是高高挂在殿堂里的理论，而是一套帮助我们认识自己、理解他人、化解烦恼的方法。

要将佛法惠及大众，并不是把深奥的经文背得滚瓜烂熟，而是能够把复杂的道理说得简单，把高深的智慧说得明白。

要用简单易懂的词句，说给小孩听，让小孩听得懂；

要用温和言顺的说给老人听，让老人能受益；

要有足够事实和数据，去说给知识分子听，方能够启发思考；

要朴素简单的说给普通大众听，也让大家能运用在日常生活中。

这并不是容易的事。

爱因斯坦曾说：

“如果你不能用简单的语言解释清楚，说明你理解得还不够透彻。”

真正的理解，不在于能说出多少专业名词，而在于能否化繁为简，让别人也能够明白。

佛教教导我们向内观照自己的内心，也向外观察世间万物的因缘色空变化；而科学则不断探索宇宙、自然与生命的奥秘。两者虽然路径不同，却同样充满着对真理的追寻与探索。

想起曾经向朋友介绍一个词——Pure Science（纯科学）。

没想到对方用带着漏风牙齿的福建话念出来，竟变成了“扳屎（Pia Sai）”，当场让我哭笑不得，差点把喝到口中的饮料都喷出来。

然而细想之下，纯科学本身也是如此有趣。

科学家不断深入探索宇宙万象，发现一个又一个令人惊叹的理论。但再高深的发现，如果能够进一步造福社会，其价值便会更加圆满。

所谓：

取之于社会，也回馈于社会。

因此，除了纯科学（Pure Science），还需要应用科学（Applied Science）。

纯科学负责探索未知，

应用科学负责改善生活。

两者如同鸟之双翼、车之两轮，缺一不可。

例如爱因斯坦提出的狭义相对论，揭示了物质与能量之间的关系：

其核心公式 E = mc²，后来成为核能发电与核物理研究的重要理论基础。

而广义相对论对时空与引力的描述，看似遥不可及，却成为现代卫星导航系统（GPS）校正时间误差的重要依据。若没有相对论的修正，今天手机上的定位导航将会出现越来越大的偏差。

回头再看，人间佛教其实也有异曲同工之妙。

佛法若只停留在经典中，那就像纯科学的理论；而当佛法被运用于家庭关系、人际沟通、情绪管理、职场压力与人生困境时，它便成为了“应用佛法”。

学佛，不只是知道道理；

科学，也不只是知道公式。

真正重要的是：

把所学的化为行动，把智慧落实于生活。

当佛法能够帮助一个人减少烦恼；离苦得平静。。

当科学能够帮助一个人改善生活；活得更方便，精彩。。

那么，无论是佛法还是科学，都已经完成了它们最美好的使命。

Buddhism and Science—From Theory, Understanding to Application

On my way home from work today, I listened to Venerable Jue Pei's video, "Take It Easy."

The Venerable mentioned that the spirit of Humanistic Buddhism is not just about understanding the precious Dharma, but more importantly, about applying it to human life to help solve real-life problems and suffering, allowing people to gain wisdom, stability, and peace amidst the chaos of the world.

I often hear people say:

"Facing machines is easy; if they break down, you can fix them. But facing human relationships is infinitely more difficult."

Machines have instruction manuals, and malfunctions can be repaired; but human emotions, attachments, desires, prejudices, and afflictions are often intricately complex. This is precisely why Buddhism is so precious. It's not a theory hanging high in temples, but a set of methods to help us understand ourselves, others, and resolve afflictions.

To make Buddhism accessible to all, it's not about memorizing profound scriptures, but about explaining complex principles simply and profound wisdom clearly.

 Use simple, easy-to-understand language to speak to children, so they can comprehend it; 

speak gently and respectfully to the elderly, so they can benefit; 

provide sufficient facts and data to intellectuals, so they can stimulate thought; 

and speak simply and plainly to the general public, so everyone can apply it in daily life.

This is no easy task.

As Einstein once said:

"If you cannot explain something clearly in simple language, you do not understand it thoroughly enough."

True understanding lies not in the ability to use many technical terms, but in the ability to simplify complex matters so others can understand.

Buddhism teaches us to introspect our own hearts and observe the causes, conditions, and changes of all things in the world; while science constantly explores the mysteries of the universe, nature, and life. Although their paths differ, both are filled with the pursuit and exploration of truth.

I recall introducing the term "Pure Science" to a friend once.

Unexpectedly, the person pronounced it in their broken Hokkien, making it sound like "Pia Sai," which left me both laughing and crying, almost spitting out my drink.

However, upon reflection, pure science itself is quite fascinating.

Scientists continuously delve into the myriad phenomena of the universe, discovering one astonishing theory after another. But even the most profound discoveries are more valuable if they can further benefit society.

As the saying goes:

What is taken from society should also be given back to society.

Therefore, in addition to pure science, we also need applied science.

Pure science is responsible for exploring the unknown; applied science is responsible for improving life.

The two are like the two wings of a bird or the two wheels of a car—neither can be dispensed with.

For example, Einstein's special theory of relativity revealed the relationship between matter and energy:

Its core formula, E = mc², later became an important theoretical foundation for nuclear power generation and nuclear physics research.

While the descriptions of spacetime and gravity in general relativity seem distant, they have become a crucial basis for correcting time errors in modern GPS satellite navigation systems. Without the corrections provided by relativity, the location navigation on our mobile phones today would exhibit increasingly significant inaccuracies.

Looking back, Humanistic Buddhism shares a similar essence.

If Buddhism remains merely in the scriptures, it's like a purely scientific theory; but when Buddhism is applied to family relationships, interpersonal communication, emotional management, workplace stress, and life's challenges, it becomes "applied Buddhism."

Learning Buddhism is not just about knowing the principles; science is not just about knowing the formulas.

What truly matters is:

Transforming what you've learned into action, putting wisdom into practice in life.

When Buddhism can help a person reduce suffering and attain peace...

When science can help a person improve their life, living more conveniently and fulfillingly...

Then, both Buddhism and Science have fulfilled their most beautiful mission.

泡面的幸福。。

两个人，单吃泡面，喝着即溶咖啡冰，可以幸福吗？

答案是：可以，也不可以。

曾听见华健的泡面的幸福，有段歌词是这样的。。

‘’分吃一碗泡麵 我也可以

有滿滿幸福滋味 在心裡迴盪‘’

年轻时，总以为爱情能够战胜一切。只要两颗心彼此相爱，再小的房间也能装下整个世界，再简单的一餐也能吃出山珍海味的滋味。

曾看过一些情侣，在经济条件并不富裕的时候，共骑一辆摩托车，共撑一把雨伞，共吃一碗面，却笑得比许多人都开心。因为那时候，他们拥有的是共同奋斗的梦想，以及对未来的希望。

幸福，从来不完全取决于口袋里有多少钱，而是取决于两个人是否愿意同甘共苦。

然而，爱情虽然浪漫，生活却很现实。

泡面偶尔吃，是一种情调；天天吃，却可能变成压力。

即溶咖啡偶尔喝，是一种陪伴；长期为了生活而精打细算，连基本开销都捉襟见肘，再浓的咖啡也难以冲淡现实的烦恼。

爱情更需要面包来支撑，需要责任来灌溉。所以，爱情没有面包，可以开始；但若长期没有经济基础，却不容易长久。

真正稳固的感情，不是爱情与面包二选一，而是两个人携手把爱情守护，彼此合作的增加面包，把梦想维持也面对现实，一起承担熬过苦难，同甘共苦。

最动人的画面，不是一辈子都在吃泡面，而是今天一起吃泡面，明天一起努力；今天喝即溶咖啡，未来有能力时，一起品尝更香浓的人生。

幸福不是拥有多少财富，而是在贫困时不互相埋怨，在富有时不彼此嫌弃。

当两个人愿意互相扶持、共同成长、共同承担责任时，泡面可以成为回忆中的幸福，咖啡可以成为彼此故事里的点缀，而爱情则会成为岁月里最珍贵的财富。

因为真正让人幸福的，不是泡面，也不是咖啡，而是在你最平凡、最艰难的时候，身边依然有一个愿意陪你走下去的人。

一合相

一合相

回家路上，再次听到一则 YouTube 开示，谈到《金刚经》中的“一合相”。

所谓“一合相”，就是因为种种因缘具足，众多条件汇聚，才形成我们眼前所见、心中所爱的“相”。

就拿大家每天使用的手机来说，它并不是凭空出现的一个整体。里面包含了摄像镜头、触控荧幕、电池、芯片、电路板，以及无数工程师的智慧、工厂的制造、运输系统的配合，甚至矿产资源的开采。

当这一切因缘成熟、条件齐备时，一部手机便诞生了，成为我们手中的“意中物”，也成为眼前所见的“相”。

其实，人生又何尝不是如此？

工作的成败得失、爱情的相遇离别、婚姻的聚散无常、身体的健康与病痛，无一不是因缘和合而成的“一合相”。

当因缘成熟时，它来到我们身边；当因缘改变时，它也可能悄然离去。

因此，当失去某个人、某件事，或某个阶段的人生时，不必过于执着地紧抓不放。因为一切皆因缘而生，也因缘而灭。

真正值得珍惜的，不是那些终将变化的“相”，而是在经历之中所获得的智慧、成长与领悟。

财富可能散去，地位可能改变，青春终会老去，但从生命历练中所学会的慈悲、包容、感恩与觉悟，却会成为内心最珍贵的宝藏。

看透“一合相”，并不是消极地放弃拥有，而是在拥有时懂得珍惜，在失去时学会放下。

因为能够被带走的只是外在的相，而真正带不走的，是那颗不断成长与觉醒的心。

特优的10号

看世界杯球赛时，心里忽然冒出一个疑问。

为什么有些球队上场后，仿佛全队都有共同目标？队员们不断跑位、传球、创造机会，只为了让10号球员能够发挥所长、完成进球。即使自己没有成为焦点，也甘愿为团队，队长贡献力量。

然而另一支球队却截然不同。球员们各踢各的，配合不到位，传球时机不对，跑位缺乏默契。结果7号球员孤军奋战，纵有实力，也难以力挽狂澜。

同样是职业球员，差别为何如此巨大？

细想之下，问题未必只在技术层面，更可能出在领导与团队文化上。

优秀的领导者，能够让团队成员看见共同的目标，明白每个人的角色与价值。当大家愿意放下个人光环，把心力凝聚在团队胜利之上时，便会产生强大的向心力。此时，每一次传球、每一次跑动、每一次防守，都不只是为了自己，而是为了整个团队。

反之，如果缺乏领导方向，或每个人都过于坚持自我、急于证明自己，团队便容易形成离心力。人人都想当主角，却忘了足球本来就是一项讲求合作的运动。再优秀的球星，也难以独自赢得比赛。

‘’傲大馒‘’头

自我膨胀的“傲大馒”头

回想曾看过一部关于制作面包的电视剧。

面粉加了酵母后，会慢慢发酵、膨胀，原本平凡无奇的一团面粉，经过时间的催化与烘焙，最终变成香气四溢的面包。

看着面团一点一点地变大，不禁让我联想到人生。

有些人经历奋斗，跨越重重坎坷；有些人事业有成，收入丰厚；有些人年纪轻轻便名利双收。这些成功、财富、掌声与赞美，就像加入心中的“酵母”，让人逐渐膨胀起来。

起初，膨胀的是自信；再后来，膨胀的是优越感；若缺乏自省与谦卑，最终膨胀的却变成是傲慢。

当一个人开始觉得自己比别人聪明、比别人重要、比别人成功时，便容易把别人的意见当成噪音，把别人的付出视为理所当然。久而久之，原本令人欣赏的自信，变成了令人敬而远之的自负。

面包膨胀后，带来的是香气与温饱；人心膨胀后，带来的却可能是距离与孤独。

真正成熟的人，往往越成功越谦逊，越有成就越懂得感恩。因为他们明白，自己的今天除了努力之外，也离不开机缘、贵人、团队与无数人的帮助，无数因缘的聚合才能得以成就今天的成功。

酵母能让面团发大，却不一定让面包更有内涵；成功能让地位提升，却不一定让人格升华。

与其成为一个不断膨胀的“傲大馒”，不如成为一块充满温度的面包，把自己的能力、经验与福气分享给身边的人。这样的人生，才会散发真正持久而迷人的香气。

The Self-Inflated Arrogance of a " Ao - Ta - bun "

I recall watching a TV series about bread making.

Flour, with yeast added, slowly ferments and expands. An ordinary lump of flour, through time and baking, eventually transforms into fragrant bread.

Watching the dough grow little by little made me think about life.

Some people struggle and overcome numerous obstacles; some achieve success and high incomes; some gain fame and fortune at a young age. This success, wealth, applause, and praise are like "yeast" added to one's heart, gradually inflating one's ego.

Initially, it's self-confidence that inflates; later, it's a sense of superiority; without self-reflection and humility, it ultimately becomes arrogance.

When a person begins to believe they are smarter, more important, and more successful than others, they easily dismiss others' opinions as noise and take their efforts for granted. Over time, what was originally admirable self-confidence transforms into conceit that commands respect but also alienates others.

 As bread rises, it brings aroma and sustenance; as the human heart expands, it may bring distance and loneliness.

Truly mature people often become more humble with success, and more grateful with achievement. They understand that their success today is not only due to hard work, but also to opportunity, mentors, teams, and the help of countless others; the convergence of numerous factors has led to their achievements.

Yeast can make dough rise, but it doesn't necessarily make bread richer; success can elevate status, but it doesn't necessarily elevate character.

Rather than becoming an ever-expanding "arrogant steamed bun," it's better to become a warm loaf of bread, sharing your abilities, experience, and blessings with those around you. This kind of life will radiate a truly lasting and captivating aroma.

义工，施比受更有福

有些人选择简单生活，把时间与心力投入义工服务、慈善布施之中。他们的生活看似平凡，却活得格外充实而富有意义。这何尝不是一种更高层次的人生体验？

人生的价值，不一定在于获得的多，而是在＜给＞于付出多少。当一个人不再过度计较得失，而是把心思放在“给予”上，内心往往会变得更加自在、富足与喜悦。

布施，并不仅仅局限于金钱。经济条件较宽裕的人，可以慷慨解囊，以财施帮助有需要的人；

体力尚佳的人，可以投入义工行列，付出时间与汗水，为团体、为社会贡献一份力量；

拥有一技之长的人，也能将自己的才华化为善意。会烘焙糕点的人，可以亲手制作点心义卖；

擅长教学的人，可以分享知识；懂得关怀的人，可以给予陪伴与鼓励。

其实，每个人都拥有属于自己的财富。有人拥有金钱，有人拥有时间，有人拥有技能，有人拥有一颗愿意付出的心。只要愿意把这些善意分享出去，便是在行布施。

当我们把“我得到了什么”慢慢转变成“我还能于＜给＞的付出什么”，会发现快乐并非来自拥有，而是来自成就他人；幸福并非来自索取，而是来自给予。

因为，给予的手，往往比接受的手更富有。总觉得：施比受更有福！

Some people choose a simple life, dedicating their time and energy to volunteer service and charitable giving. Their lives may seem ordinary, but they are exceptionally fulfilling and meaningful. Isn't this a higher level of life experience?

The value of life lies not necessarily in what you receive, but in how much you give. When a person stops excessively calculating gains and losses and focuses their mind on giving, their heart often becomes more at ease, abundant, and joyful.

Giving is not limited to money. Those with more financial means can generously donate to help those in need;

Those with good physical strength can join the ranks of volunteers, contributing their time and effort to groups and society;

Those with a skill can also transform their talents into acts of kindness. Those who can bake can make and sell pastries;

Those skilled in teaching can share their knowledge; those who know how to care can offer companionship and encouragement.

In fact, everyone possesses their own wealth. Some possess money, some possess time, some possess skills, and some possess a heart willing to give.  Simply sharing these acts of kindness is an act of generosity.

When we gradually shift our focus from "What have I received?" to "What can I give to ?", we discover that happiness doesn't come from possession, but from helping others succeed; bliss doesn't come from taking, but from giving.

Because the hand that gives is often richer than the hand that receives. It's always felt that giving is more blessed than receiving!

电池battery 多么重要

今天发生的事，巧合得很，主题竟然全都围绕着——电池。

一大清早兴致勃勃地要看世界杯，没想到TV 遥控器突然没电了。情急之下，把冷气空调遥控器里的AAA 电池拆下来换上，竟然成功“回生”！更令人开心的是，阿根廷以 3:2 取得胜利，为早晨增添了一份喜悦。对方也赢得了尊重。

随后顺路到加油站买了两排 AAA 电池备用，没想到这竟成了今天的主题伏笔。

回到家后，又发现一粒汽车轮胎的气压监控系统（TPMS）的电池已经耗尽，于是拿出之前刚买好的备用药型电池更换，一切恢复正常。

接着想起汽车总电池，才惊觉它已经服役了一年多。为了安全起见，开到车厂检测，结果显示还有 68% 的电量，暂时还能继续为我服务。

从遥控器、轮胎监控器，到汽车总电池，短短一天里，生活仿佛不断提醒我：现代社会早已离不开电池。

以前，人们谈能源，想到的是煤炭、石油与天然气；如今，电池已逐渐成为新时代的重要动力来源。手机需要电池、电脑需要电池、汽车需要电池，甚至未来越来越普及的人工智能机器人（AI Robot），也离不开电池所提供的能量。

随着全球面对能源转型与石油资源逐渐减少的挑战，电池技术的重要性只会越来越高。电动车正在逐步取代传统燃油车，储能系统帮助太阳能，海浪能与风能发挥更大的效益，而人工智能与自动化时代的来临，更让电池成为支撑未来社会运作的重要基石。

有趣的是，今天从一颗小小的遥控器电池开始，竟让我联想到未来世界的能源发展。

有时候，生活中的大道理，并不一定藏在实验室里；它可能就藏在一颗不起眼的小电池之中。

小小电池，推动的不只是设备，更推动着人类迈向未来的脚步。

Today's events were quite coincidental, and the entire theme revolved around—batteries.

I was excitedly preparing to watch the World Cup early this morning, only to find the TV remote had suddenly run out of power. In a panic, I removed the AAA batteries from the air conditioner remote and replaced them, and miraculously, it worked! Even better, Argentina won 3-2, adding a touch of joy to the morning. Opponent won respect. 

Afterwards, I stopped at a gas station and bought two packs of AAA batteries as spares, This little did I know would foreshadow today's theme.

Back home, I discovered that one of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) battery in my car was flat. 

So I replaced it with the spare tablet battery I had just bought, and everything was back to normal.

Then I remembered my car main battery and realized it had been in service for over a year. For safety, I took it to a mechanic for a checkup, and the results showed it still had 68% charge, enough to continue serving me for now.

From the remote, the tire pressure monitoring system, to the main battery, this short day seemed to constantly remind me: modern society is inseparable from batteries.

Previously, when people talked about energy, they thought of coal, oil, and natural gas; 

today, batteries have gradually become a crucial power source for the new era. Mobile phones need batteries, computers need batteries, cars need batteries, and even the increasingly prevalent AI robots of the future will rely on the energy provided by batteries.

As the world faces the challenges of energy transition and dwindling oil resources, the importance of battery technology will only increase. Electric vehicles are gradually replacing traditional gasoline-powered cars, energy storage systems are helping solar, wave power, and wind power to achieve greater efficiency, and the advent of the era of artificial intelligence and automation makes batteries a vital cornerstone supporting the operation of future society.

Interestingly, starting today with a small remote control battery has made me think about the future development of energy in the world.

Sometimes, the great truths of life aren't necessarily hidden in laboratories; they might be hidden in an inconspicuous little battery.

A tiny battery powers not only devices, but also propels humanity's steps towards the future.

好奇心探索飞行

仰望天空，看着飞机✈划过云层，总会让人忍不住赞叹空气动力学（Aerodynamics）的神奇。

如此庞大、沉重的钢铁之躯，竟然能够挣脱地心引力，在万里高空中自由翱翔。这一切，都要感谢莱特兄弟在一百多年前勇敢的探索与发现。他们那一次看似简单的试飞，不仅改变了交通方式，更改写了整个人类文明的发展轨迹。

曾经，人们翻山越岭需要数月，跨越海洋需要数年；如今，一架飞机便能在短短数小时内，把人们送往地球的另一端。世界因此被拉近，地球仿佛成了一个紧密相连的“地球村”🌍。不同国家、不同文化的人们得以频繁交流，商业、科技与知识也因此迅速传播。

当然，凡事都有两面性。飞机让文明传播得更快，也让病毒在全球扩散的速度远超从前。科技带来便利的同时，也提醒着我们，人类始终需要以智慧与责任来驾驭科技。

然而，人类探索的脚步从未停止。

从飞机到喷射机，从喷射机到火箭，再从火箭迈向宇宙飞船，每一次突破都在挑战过去认为“不可能”的界限。今天的航空科技，正在逐渐演变成未来的太空科技。也许在不久的将来，能够自行产生人工重力的大型太空航母将不再只是科幻电影里的画面，而会成为现实中的星际交通工具。

那时候，人类将不再满足于探索地球，而是飞向月球、火星，甚至更遥远的星辰大海。我们将带着好奇心与梦想，继续探索宇宙的奥秘，开发新的世界，寻找生命更多的可能。

从莱特兄弟的一次试飞，到未来的星际远航，人类最伟大的力量，或许从来都不是科技本身，而是那颗永不停歇、勇于探索未知的好奇心。
