上帝给我们两只耳朵，
可为什么我们都不大愿意接受异己的声音?
越来越发现，
人与人之间沟通并不是一件易事。
语言不通，鸡同鸭讲不在话下，
听者有意，说者无心更添几分愁。
长辈不听晚辈心中的呐喊，
因为他们觉得我们不成熟。
父母不接受孩子们的决定，
因为他们觉得我们不独立。
上司不听下属提出的意见，
因为他们觉得我们没经验。
年轻时的我们总是会有这种想法，
怎么样都绝不容许别人小看我们年轻，
甚至立志要让瞧不起我们的大人刮目相看。
但是走着走着，
我们也渐渐成了瞧不起小孩的大人，
把他们锁死在一个框架下，束缚着他们。
曾几何时，我们觉得蛮横霸道的大人专制无比;
不知何时，我们开始变得像他们一样蛮不讲理。
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。
从前的我们，不知何时已改变、转变、蜕变。
时间会冲淡一切，
当初的热枕，
如今已荡然无存。
时间会改变一切，
当初的信念，
如今只是句口号。
剩下的，
只是回忆，
和无奈，
还有感慨。
Yesterday, I joined the Rotaract Club's activity.
We visited a plastic manufactory - Tycoplus (TA GE) and learned about plastic manufacture.
There are so many different types of plastics with different scientific names and codes that undergo various chemical processes. (Revision on chemistry :P) Also, they have different suitability and appropriation on their usage.
We know that plastic contains harmful elements that may cause harms when the chemical substances leaches, but how many of us do really take the harms into account when we use plastic? If we do, the usage of plastic will not maintain a dramatic increase up until now.
We shall not wait for the regulations to restrict us. Instead, we shall urge the government to take actions sooner.
Some plastics like plastic bottles are not meant to be reused.
Some plastics like water bottles are not meant to be filled with high temperature liquid.
Some plastics like plastic bags are not meant to filled with hot soup.
It may seemed to be a small case to you, the side effects may not be significant too. But the toxic accumulates, and by the time when you noticed the symptom, it's already too late.
We shall really be careful on the consumption of plastics. Be aware on what we should and should not do with plastics.
If you want to have your next generation and stay away from carcinogens, you better think twice before you prioritise convenient above health.
So, after the factory visit, we went for sports sessions - table tennis and badminton.
On the journey to the badminton court, a Rotarian talked to Kar Yann and me. He shared that joining Rotary Club is mainly about networking. Indeed. You get to know more people and expand your social circle where it may helps you a lot in near future.
He also forced us to ask questions and tried to impose the importance of critical thinking on us. It's quite weird at first but I know it's good for us. We have to learn until the day we die. To learn, you must get out of your comfort zone.
We often keep quiet when we should ask questions. It's time to train yourself to accept the challenge to raise doubts and create rooms of discussion. You'll definitely benefit from it.
Our mother club, Rotary Club is also willing to take care of the Rotaract Club in a way that they fund some of our expenses. It's good that the adults take the initiative to create awareness and educate us for the sake of our better future.
I created the title of this post with '#1', and I think that it will be followed by #2 #3 etc
My mom always said I make myself too busy that my body cannot load, but I do enjoy the busy schedule rather than just slacking at home, because I learn from what I do. :)
我一直以为我没事,
原来只是一直在压抑而已。
我最擅长的就是逃避。
生气的时候逃避解释,
伤心的时候逃避人群,
犯错的时候逃避责任。
不安的时候逃避伤害。
自我保护意识很强,
感觉会受伤就开始逃,
有时却逃得伤人又伤己,
真无谓。
但这是潜意识,
改不了。
伤了就是伤了,
疤痕印记无法消失殆尽。
我只能说,
如果你不努力,
没有人帮你成就。
如果你不勇敢,
没有人帮你跨越。
如果你不独立,
没有人帮你坚强。
命不能选,
但路靠自己选。
你想做什么人,
就该怎么活。
16岁,
不成熟不再是个借口。
