What is education? What is the real meaning of "teacher" or "educator"?
「教育」是什麼? 「老師」及「教育家」真正的意義為何?
Aside from instilling theories and technical skills into students, a teacher can do more than that and make a difference. A great teacher should help his/her students understand more about themselves and develop their potential. This is what education is all about and what an educator should be.
Recently I watched a documentary and it's about how a teacher inspires his students in school. What the teacher does is similar to that in the movie, the freedom writers diary. But this real story happens in a primary school. Besides that, the teacher teaches his students "teamwork", "love", "respect" , , "care", and "how to face "death" . After watching this inspiring life lesson, I guess it is about time for me to rethink the purpose of education.
September 28 is Teacher's Day in Taiwan. I'd like to say "Happy Teacher's Day" to all of of my teachers and friends who are teachers out there. Most of all, I'd like to dedicate this story to whoever cares about education. Enjoy it!
如果我沒記錯的話，phub 這個字是由 snub 這個字與 phone 結合後而出現的新字. snub = 冷落; 而 phone + snub = the act of snubbing someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention. (在社交場合因看自己手機而未專注於該活動、冷落現場的人的行為)。而加了 er 後就變成「…的人」，故 phubber 即是「低頭族」。
今天看到2012年去菲律賓 El Nido (愛妮島)所拍的短片真懷念！那天我跟當地人ㄧ起去酒吧，而一進去酒吧就聽到許多人跟一位女生道生日快樂,問了一下才知道她是酒吧的員工，而他們也沒特別為壽星安排什麼特別的慶生活動。雖然跟他們才初次見面，但大家親切的問候開玩笑，沒幾分鐘大家早已打成一片，而我覺得生日就該慶生,而慶生沒有蛋糕怎能算慶生，而且我一輩子可能只會遇到這個壽星一次，所以我提議由我來買蛋糕，讓現場的 band 及全場客人來為該名員工唱生日快樂歌，給她一個難忘的回憶，結果場面就是一片歡樂溫馨，壽星還特別調了她的拿手酒請我喝呢！今天看到這影片還真懷念那晚大家歡樂的情景呢!
This video was taken in Balay Tubay, El Nido in the Philippines on September 6, 2012 when I traveled there. After I walked into the bar, I heard some people say "Happy Birthday" to one of the staff and I asked "Where is the birthday cake?" And they said "We don't have a cake." For me, can we call it a birthday celebration without a birthday cake? So I insisted on buying a cake for the birthday girl and wish her a happy birthday even if I didn't know her at all. After all, I might just meet her once in my life time. It's always good to make someone happy on such a special occasion, right? So we celebrated her birthday together with all the people in the house and this great band. What a night! I am looking forward to going back there soon.
