She's 47 and has a dream. I think it has come true.
I watch Metro News and search from internet. I admire her.
It's quite interesting. They sing songs of dream. Dreams always come true.
You can find the story of 2007 Connie Talbot (Age 7 or 8) and Suzan Boyle (Age 47).
I can't be Connie again but I don't wait until the age of Suzan.
Pay and get the reward now.

Self talk
In communication, we are easily to jump to the conclusion without revisit the belief.
From the model of A (Adversity) ---> B (Beliefs) ---> C (Consequence), it makes me aware of the important of self talk / understanding my own belief. It has material impact to how I react to the environment.
Now, Hebron is starting to write his reflection exercise. I am trying to explore the beliefs with him. It may be difficult for him but sure enrich our sharings.
Once we can identity and change the beliefs, we can have a new story. It likes the inspiration of new spirit. That's why Christian has changes as Jesus inspires us with new life.

Go Green Go Red
星期三是Go Green Day；今日是Go Red Day （出花紅日）
感謝上帝，上年度的花紅終於發放。因為我的職級，花紅是薪酬組合的一部份；而計算準則在年初商議，所以沒有因環球經濟而受到重大影响。而一般員工，他們是由公司決定發放與否。他們同樣獲得發放。我問過一些同事，都感到比預期好。
Go Green 要熄燈；今晚，應該有好多同事都GO RED (去玩）。
可喜可賀，總算有點安慰！

跑步
Hebron reminded himself not to run in the recess. (Obey to the rules).
Boys like sports including running around.
In PE class, he ran. He fell down and his knee was wounded.
He learned "Be careful".
He also wrote down in his book to ask why he needed to write reflective journal.
I appreciate that he can "ask why" rathan than "follow what I say". (May be I forget to reward him.) I hope he can learn from his experience and get new things.

Used Toothbrush
Hebron asks whether he can replace toothbrush.We tell him to do so.
He asks whether he needs to keep for her little sister. (As Helem likes his clothes and toys very much.) We tell him to think. He understands that is the concern of hygiene.
So, I say "Should I give my USED tissue to you."

Reflective Journal
Today, I have chance to chat with another colleague after office.
We talk about balance of career and family. Sure, we cover some issues about parenting.
I tell him about reflective journal assignment to my son.
He asks me how's the result. Sorry, I encourage him to start from today.
So, no result yet.
I've got the report of today. There are 2 events.
1. Good friend but bad word.
(Learning point: No bad word & Forgiveness)
2. No Chinese in English class.
(Appreciation: Follow teacher's instruction)
I also tell him about giving water to classmate. (It was appreciation of being a good neighbour.)
This is the 2nd day.
I remember habit development/change needs 21 days exercise.
So, let's change.

A glass of water
Just heard from Margaret that there is appreciation for Hebron.The story : He did not take the water bottle and drink in the morning.
So, mother gave him $20 for purchases. In the school, he saw a classmate with no drink and the school ceased to use water machine to avoid baterial infection. Hebron bought a bottle of water to him. After school, he told mother that he felt sorry to spend extra for his classmate.
My reflection : It is worth of appreciation. There is no doubt of a good behaviour. We decide to tell him "a glass of water" bible story as award tomorrow. I hope him to understand that there is no fear in Love.

Child Education
Today, I have lunch with my colleague. We talk about child towards primary school education. His son is in K2 now.I remembered when Hebron was K2. We prayed for him and his future. Finally, we were awarded a place from a new school in Tseung Kwan O.
The school's mission is nuturing servant leader. We agree this and put it as our vision on child education.
We emphases quality of life. We have the slogan - 安靜 (等候和忍耐)、冷靜 (思考和判斷) 和 温柔(行動和回應). We repeat and repeat to them again and again over the years. We hope they can treasure their lifes and contribute to the future as servant leaders.
From the child education workshop, I've awared the importance of vision and action.
So, we encourage Hebron to write down his appreciation and need of improvement daily.
Hope it can help to increase his awareness and change the behaviour.

Dream may come true
昨天，參加教仔工作坊。其中有一段有趣的語句，不記得是出自何人。
有 ｖｉｓｉｏｎ (異象/遠境)，冇 ａｃｔｉｏｎ (行動)=> a dream only
有 ａｃｔｉｏｎ，冇 ｖｉｓｉｏｎ => waste only／ｍｅａｎｉｎｇｌｅｓｓ
有 ｖｉｓｉｏｎ，有 ａｃｔｉｏｎ => ｃａｎ ｍａｋｅ the change／ｍａｋｅ ｄｒｅａｍ ｃｏｍｅ ｔｒｕｅ
盼望，我們和孩子的生命，有Ｖｉｓｉｏｎ有Ａｃｔｉｏｎ,可以夢想成真。
你估我有什麼夢想？你自己又有什麼心願未了呢？

多一點貪心 多一點天真
昨天，談到「多點貪心，多點純真」。
今早，跟美玲去九龍塘上教仔工作坊。
課後，在又一城走一走。
去了bookstore, boutique, citisuper, toy "R" us.
什麼都沒有買。美玲話如果我跟她玩這遊戲，她就會買下。
我就回應：「多一點貪心，多一點天真」。
昨天是不花一文，今天卻是真金白銀。看法當然有些少不同了。

亞居拉和百基拉
近日，教會邀請美玲參與主日學的事奉，給予了兩星期時間考慮。也鼓勵我們夫婦二人一同事奉。
星期五晚回家後，美玲問我要回覆教會。我便說，可以的。我們相信上帝必與我們同行。
只是並沒有確據，星期六早上，在地鐵裡禱告，盼望上帝給予啟示，以免誤會了。
想不到，上帝給我讀到亞居拉和百基拉夫婦的名字。我感到驚訝，祂向我說話，我知道這是祂的心意，讓我們夫婦一同事奉像亞居拉和百基拉一樣。
求上帝叫我們在這事奉上多得造就和幫助教會中的肢體。我深信這新的事奉將帶領我們進入新的領域，叫我們更知祂的心意。
另附上《夫妻的模範─亞居拉和百基拉 》的短文 一則
