It's been a long time since I last posted. The life I lead nowadays is not a life worth mention. However, lessons that I derive does provide much advice to how I should lead my life. Also, the temporary posting that I get now in the army can be said to be a prelude to my teaching life in the future.
Taking cadets feel like I'm taking students. They don't really treat you as their teacher though. For spec cadets, they treat you more like friends. Which I am sure I will experience next time where some students just don't like to give anybody respect. That is when the role of a teacher changes. Then, a teacher has to know how to be a friend to his students before anything else. He/She needs to understand how the students feel, how the students think. Then can he/she craft out lessons well suited to the students' needs. But all this isn't easy. In fact, I should say it cannot be done to all the students in a class of 40+ next time. You can be a friend to everyone, but to have a lesson that suits everyone is absurd. Such is the difficulty I may face next time.
偏离主题一点，我想谈谈交友之道。我现在认识到，交友真的很讲求缘分。几个好友要认识，在某种程度上一定是受到缘分的牵引。而朋友要升华为好友，则需要缘分把他们聚集在同一个地点，做同样的事情。好友要晋升挚友，更是必需共度患难，有难同当，方能完成。而一切的一切，仍然少不了冥冥中的安排。由此可见，缘分在维持友情上扮演重要的一环。
我很感谢上天的安排。无论发生任何不愉快的事件，我总是有一群好友陪伴着。中学如此，初院如此，当兵亦如是。尤其在服兵役的过程中，我更认识到许多容我推心置腹的战友。这完完全全是因为我们经历了许多挫折，忍受了许多辱骂，受尽了苦难，友情才能生根结果。与兵役中的好友们虽然认识的日子短，但由于周一至五每时每刻都在一起，自然对彼此有着更深一层的认识。最重要的，是清楚了对方的生活习惯。要知道，与人同处一个屋檐下实在不容易，我也听说过某些人受到同房的排挤。我很庆幸，这种情况仍未发生在我身上。
因此，我藉此机会，向我众多挚友们，表示真诚的感谢。
