Line Skating (I) ..

After so many postponing, so much waiting, the line-skating course had finally started today. Wahoo..

This afternoon was my first time on the blade. Naturally, I was very excited. I put on all the gears anyhow without being instructed, only to realize later I wore most of them wrongly. Of course, we know knee guards go to the knees, elbow guards go to the elbows, but putting on a wrist guards can be quite an art. Topping up with a helmet, and we were ready to go.

Nay. Think so easy is it??!! You try stand on wheels for the first time. Haha..

We were guided professionally how to get up.
(Silly me got up anyhow before the instructions but don’t dare to anyhow move. But if we were to follow the instructions, the getting-up can be done more gracefully.)

We were guided professionally how to break a fall.
(With the protective guards on, falling down the right way can be quite fun. Try imagine almost slamming ourselves forward on a hard cement floor and yet feeling nothing.)

The session of stances, postures, V-Walk and gliding ended too soon. Mm..
But it was enjoyable and I’m really looking forward to the next training session. Of course, of course, with quite a few people I know learning together, the fun is doubled, tripled.. :o)

Oh, by the way, quite funny. The trainer didn’t believe it was my first time on the wheels. And he left a one-word comment on the training booklet : Wow!
And he added verbally when he passed the booklet back to me, “I have only one word for you. You are doing very well.”

What a compliment. Haha.. Thanks lor.

Actually, I am still a little phobic about falling. I know I can be rather accident-prone most of the time.

I think I can see that in the not-too-far future to come, I shall be comfortably gliding on wheels. I suddenly thought of 哪吒. Haha.. So I think I shall be getting a fiery red pair of line-skating-blades soon to match my wild imagination. :P

「凡事往好处想」的游戏

妈妈问孩子：「今天上学发现，口袋里的十元不见了，请往好处想…」
孩子回答：「还好不见的不是一百元…」
父亲回答：「捡到的人一定很高兴…」

妈妈问孩子：「今天上学后刚始下起大雨，请往好处想」
孩子回答：「还好舅舅家住的近，可以帮我送伞…」

妈妈问孩子：「很用功的准备段考后，成绩非常的不理想，请往好处想…」
孩子回答：「还好不是联考…」

凡事往好处想，整个心情就变的不一样了。

还记得有个故事，
一个女孩遗失了一支心爱的手表，一直闷闷不乐，茶不思、饭不想，甚至因此而生病了。

神父来探病时问她：
「如果有一天你不小心掉了十万块钱， 你会不会再大意遗失另外二十万呢！」

女孩回答：「当然不会。」

神父又说：
「那你为何要让自己在掉了一支手表之后，又丢掉了两个礼拜的快乐!甚至还陪上了两个礼拜的健康呢！」

女孩如大梦初醒般地跳下床来。说：
「对！！我拒绝继续损失下去， 从现在开始我要想办法，再赚回一支手表。」

人生嘛！！
本来就是有输有赢，更是有挑战性的，输了又何妨。
只要真真切切地为自己而活，这才叫做真正的《生命》。
有些人就是因为不肯接受事实重新开始以致越输越多，终至不可收拾。
如果已输了， 请记得我们打麻将输的时候常说的一句話「少输为赢」。
为自己打制一个停损点吧！
正向思考我们不会怨天尤人
正向思考我们不会心情郁闷
正向思考我们不会一厥不振
正向思考我们不会苦无出路
正向思考我们不会离乐得苦
正向思考会为我们带来一个停损点
正向思考会为我们带来乐观、开朗的性格
正向思考会为我们带来慈悲的胸怀
正向思考会为我们带来重新站起来的力量
正向思考会为我们带来无限的希望

这真的是一个很好的观念，或许大家真可以用在生活中。
道理不在懂不懂，只在做不做，改变就从此刻开始!!!
