Glory

What will you do with your life?
I've always wanted to know what is the meaning of life.
I dreamed a lot,about working,living and so on.
And when the time comes,would you have the courage to stand up
and go chase what you want? Instead of crying out for change but
doing nothing to make it real? Because of the fear to change ?

People exactly do and live the way their ancesters did hundreds of years ago. Our fathers chose to live with inner peace than to explore and adventur,and that had made all the differences since.

Poor countries are still poor as they were a hundred years ago,and world powers are still powerful no matter of the passage of time.

What we should conquer is fear and the invisible shackles binding us from taking risk. It's time to change.

May I have the courage and not only be brave but witty to adventure and reap in my life.

英文

話說上星期日去嘉義,回到熟悉的地方
可是我卻發現自己越來越跟不上朋友講英文的速度
聽了好幾遍後,還是要很不好意思的說聲:Pardon?

看來我退步了! 以前好像還不會這麼嚴重
大學時,我還是可以抓到幾成他們的意思
現在只要他們說快一點,我就聽不懂

難道是當兵的關係嗎?
只是一年沒常常接觸英文,就退步的這麼多喔?
去美國時也有些吃力,尤其在各種腔調的發音下,
我只能猜對方在說啥

應該要好好加油了,只是我有點怕
怕有些東西自己實在無法克服,例如時態的使用跟文法
到現在還是無法流利的使用正確的時態交談

加油吧!自滿會阻礙進步的,更何況沒啥好自滿的

Learning French

Today I rode my scooter to a nearby college for a particular reason - learning French.
The teacher was so much fun.She taught with a casual way,but one would so easily got what she delivered.
Language is a symbol of culture,and it highly represents what people think and do for life. It's so much fun to get noticed of another way of thinking,and through the French language,I may open a new door to look at Europe.

Honestly,it was a toss up between leaning German and French. Both are good,and now I've made up my mind. Learning a language is all about perseverance, it actually doesn't matter which one I chose.

By the way,Noel,in French,means Christmas. I'm familiar with this word and was amazed on hearing the teacher explaining it.


今天是快樂的一天,上了第一堂的法文課.
老師人很好,很開朗,笑起來像個燦爛的太陽,上她的課心情很輕鬆.
雖然對於課程很陌生,一切要從頭來,甚至在下課前,已經覺得這個課有點難度了,但是還是很期待下次上課,因為這樣的學習有種充電的感覺!!

讚! 今天有收穫,而且知道Noel是法文中聖誕節的意思! 它也是一個教會朋友的名字,所以我印象特別深.

煩

啊! 好久沒寫網誌了
自從受訓開始後,一直到現在上班一個禮拜
時間感覺不怎麼夠用

而且糟糕的是,我不想回家鄉工作

我甚至對這個地方很厭惡,覺得這裡太衰敗
在這個城市中工作好沒出息...
不想將自己葬送在這裡(雖然我也不覺得我有什麼前途)

這樣的心情,連帶影響我住家裡的感受
總之,我已經20幾歲了,結果還要回到自己家附近工作
一點都沒有進步的感覺!

其實不一定要去台北,但是我就是不想回到南部的家
回到家,無形中你就必須依照爸媽的步調,很難脫離
這樣你就會被限制住了,變的也要過跟老人一樣的生活

算了,忍一忍吧!雖然不滿意,但是一年後可以請調
如果一年後還是調不走,我會搬出去住的
我想我受不了這樣處處受限的生活

Tuesday

This Tuesday night was a wild night. Me and my two friends went to play billiards at midnight. And we stayed up nearly all the night drinking and talking till we were too tired and fall asleep.

Next day I rushed to Taipei and found out it was just Wednesday the next day.
I kept in mind and thought it was THURSDAY,and I was gonna move to the dorm on Thursday.

Yesterday was the opening day of the training. It'll last for a week,and then I'll be leaving for home again to package my baggage and bring them to the place I'll be working at.

Sounds excited,but I'm a bit afraid of the unknown future and my job!

特戰.跳傘

嗯,之前看到有關特戰官不跳傘的新聞
讓我想起了自己的情形...

其實我在營區內遇到的人,撇掉幹部不說
只要是大頭兵,無論志願役或義務役
跳傘都是他們自由選擇的結果,出於自願
但是士官以上的幹部就不同了

志願役的幹部,是不是都是自願去跳傘,我不是很清楚
但是義務役的話,應該都是抽籤分到傘兵單位的
我想義務役自願到傘兵單位的機率可能不高吧
如果是自願到傘兵單位的話,可能也是外離島或花東地區
在本島來我們那營區受傘訓的義務役幹部,我沒遇過是自願的
因此,義務役幹部們分到了傘兵部隊,就要想著要不要跳傘了

理論上是要跳的,但是這個程序是有瑕疵的
因為從沒人詢問過你要不要當傘兵
就好比阿兵哥可以選擇不當傘兵一樣
義務役的幹部們應該也可以自我選擇
只是這樣子的話,傘兵部隊的幹部可能會短少吧
所以這麼久以來,這個程序上的問題一直存在

其實跳不跳傘不是判別英雄的依據
就好比不是沒當過兵就不是男人
如果上述成立,那世界上大多數男人都不是男人了

其實當兵是學著把一個階段的事好好做好
不管個人因素是怎樣,就是把這一階段的事好好做好
這樣一來,這個經驗會對你人生的下一個階段有幫助
這是我自己的一點感想

So shocked

The world has been different now.
The financial centennial crisis is growng and spreading rapidly. 3 or 4 from traditional 5 American Investment Banking magnates are suffering severely.
Oil is still hiking,without signs of stopping or slowing down. It seems like all human beings are going to live with high inflation for a long time.

I had felt the world changed day by day or even hour by hour after reading economic and finacial newspapers in my college time. Not a daily reader of those media,I read only twice or three times a week,and I felt nervous about the world I would someday face and live in.

Now that Lehmen Brothers is down,Bear Stearns taken by Fed,and AIG stumbles and looks for help,this Autumn opened with market volatility and uncertainty,and is full of bad news. It seems like not good for a new comer to join the finacial work place now.

Hope that all tumultuous and economic woes would turn out be safe after a variety of rescues, and eventually pave way for better and more stable financial orders.


記的當我旅遊回國時,在飛機上看到報紙,心裡實在有夠震驚的!
雷曼垮台,AIG搖搖欲墜,美國傳統幾大投資銀行都快變成落水狗,
這些消息真是深深衝擊金融圈.
今早最新消息是Morgan Stanley將被日本的銀行買下最多20%
股權,而高盛也可能維持不了獨立劵商的地位,將轉型為商業銀行.

做為一個即將進銀行工作的社會新鮮人,雖然只是做基層的工作,
但這些消息實在很糟糕,加上自己未來的公司業務虧損,踩到了很
多次貸跟雷曼地雷,今年獲利可能大減. 但是不論如何,希望在這
些事情後,金融界可以重新整頓並更強健,否則歷史只會不斷重複.
