一個营会学会了很多的不因该

一个营会。5 个导师。10 位义工。55个营友。

在这个营会学习了很多的不应该


不应该太高估自己的办事能力,很多时候,很多的事都需要互补

不应该太任性,不能就是不能,要接受状况

不应该把事情都留到最后才来做,一切都太迟了

不应该以为家里有两老是理所当然的,很多人得不到亲情

不应该把老师在学校给你的信任毁了,很多人得不到肯定

不应该把自己的青春放在朋友的手上,可能会被他人毁了


谢谢义工默默地为luzhou付出, 谢谢你们的脑,你们的体力,你们的一切。

谢谢Luzhou同工的信任与包含,我也在这营会找到了我的定位。我行与我不行的,找回我对年轻人的负担与热诚。

写给一群血气方刚的少年人的一封信

给一群血气方刚的少年人,

第一天在营会遇见你们,很庆幸不是带领你们的小组。

在游戏中领受你们的脾气,固执与自我
在主讲时领受你们对讲演的不尊敬和不认真
在LIMBO ROCK时领受你们的野蛮与好胜心

在我确定放弃的时候,看到了你们

在游戏中对组员的细心照顾,你们不再对他们呼呼呵呵
在歌唱被你们的热情和尖叫感染了,你们顿时变得可爱
在破茧表演时,看到你们把自己的故事呈现出来,有流氓,有离婚夫妻,有流氓导师,有李小龙,真的是太搞笑,笑到哭。
在小组分享时才发现你们每一个都在为自己打仗,在挣扎,在期待破茧的那一天

我被你们的故事感动了

我开始期待你们出头的那一天

我开始相信你们是型与行

我开始等待你们创造历史

用圣经的话 与你们共勉之

-若有人在基督里,他就是新造的人,旧事已过都变成新的了

-我的弟兄们,你们遭遇各种试练的时候,都要看为喜乐;因为知道你们的信心经过考验,就产生忍耐。但忍耐要坚持到底,使你们可以完全,毫无缺乏。

-弟兄们,我不起为自己已经得着了,我只有一件事,就是忘记背后,努力面前,向着目标协力追求。。。

我期待破茧的你们,我期待你们在自己岗位出头的那一天。。

runaway from dubai

i have been asked many times why i left despite the good pay and the luxurious lifestyle that i can 'afford' to indulge in. It is really to explain it, especially when one value culture and lifestyle more that money....i bumped into a friends blog which pen down his view on living in dubai which reflect my perception of dubai as well...

in vogue

I just want to break away with everything now. the more i live in Dubai the more i am disgusted with its residents. materialistic vultures who roam around the city thinking they have it all. i just need a break from all of this. seriously!

i feel like i need to escape to a jungle somewhere and build me a hut to live in for a couple of years. it would be better than this concrete jungle. i fear that the mental and spiritual damage that i have endured by the Dubaians have stained my heart and soul forever.

there is this deviation from our culture and habits. how on earth is it possible that in one generation we as Palestenians, Lebanese and all Arabs in general, who largely make up the Dubai Arab expatriate population, degenrate into a full fledged liberal, flamboyant, insensitive and materialistic people. our fathers and grandfathers would have never dreamt such a change! what a divorse in habits, and a discourse with everything that is us! even the European and Indian expatriates of Dubai are similiarily selfish and envious. there is something very wrong going on...


there must be a psychopath diagnosis term to describe these symptoms. because almost everybody is affected by it.

i dont know what is the norm by which i should compare ppl. i dont know what is a healthy society anyhow, or how it looks like. what i know is that it hurts having to cope with the strange human behaviour everyday and having to witness this sad detachmenet from human nature for the sake of money. it really is frustrating and sadening to see most ppl trapped by global merchandise and brands, to see ppl occupied with trivial mind-entertaining news!

everybody loves madonna, everyone makes it a point to u that they have got the latest xbox stuff and games, everybody is a fan of this dance club and that DJ and this rock genre, everyone is a slave for a different certain clothes brand, and some would kill for a foreign football club playing in a distant foreign country, eveything envogue is to die for, and everything old is ridiculed even if it was natural or convenient... the rationale is either be the flavor of the month or perish...

the worst side to all of this, is the fact that eveybody complains about the same thing! maybe because it seems like fashionable conversation!
