146 假如

可按下圖片放大！

假如，要我說，一套能影響我一生的電影，那絕對會是這套 Dead Poets Society （港譯《暴雨驕陽》1989），雖然內容已逐漸迷糊，但我清楚記得電影內英文老師用一個類似經濟學常用的Demand and Supply Curve 圖表分析「文學」的那個畫面，那種當頭棒喝，至今久久未能忘懷。



假如，要我說，一個能改變我一生的老師，到了這麼多年後的今天，我仍然會說：「周蘿茜老師，妳還活在我的腦海中，妳對我們幾個頑劣懶惰學生的關懷，我還沒有忘記。雖然我們相遇的母校大概現在已變成一間卡拉OK或法式餐廳，但這些，都已經不再重要，今天最重要的是——周老師，我要在此祝福妳，生活幸福、快樂。」



假如，要我點一首歌給周老師，我會點以下這首，聆聽請按這裡。


I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love


Greatest Love Of All.
By - Whitney Houston.
