鼓勵台灣的年輕人們–On becoming a Risk Taker

 

最近到東吳大學城中校區分享時,剛好有提到一首詩,裡頭的觀點,或許能夠點破時下年輕人們對未來的困惑與迷惘,我承諾學生們會把這首詩放上我的blog,現在我把它放上來了。

我常告訴年輕人們 “be the change”,要勇於做改變、挑戰現況,並且“Replace fear of the unknown with curiosity”–以好奇心來取代對未知的恐懼。唯有如此,你才能從中蛻變成一個更好的自己。

Do you have a dream?

If YES, just go ahead.

Only a person who risks is FREE.

 

=============================

On Becoming a Risk Taker

Risk taking is Free

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool,

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental,

To reach out for another is to risk involvement,

To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self,

To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss,

To love is to risk not being loved in return,

To live is to risk dying,

To hope is to risk despair,

To try is to risk failure,

But risk must be taken,

because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.

He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.

Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he has forfeited freedom

Only a person who risks is free.

2011/8/20 中廣流行網103.3 – 朱先生的專訪

節目名稱【殷士偉的搜主意】
播出時間 2011/8/20 8-9AM
訪談主題【談肯夢AVEDA的純淨生活】
主講人:朱平 & 殷士偉

Freda, this is for you.

殷士偉( David ) is a man with a mission. He is also a brilliant businessmaker. He built a total integrated solution in the business of listening, not eyeballing. 🙂 He and I could talk forever since we have so much in common.

Please be patient to listen through the audio commercial. It is a new experience for me because I seldom listen radio. In Dulan, I may develop a new interest in radio. I believe in the power of listening. It gives you room for imagination and emotional response to individual voice. Radio will be back because of the internet, new smart device and the nature of non-intrusiveness. You can listen to radio while you are cooking, driving or even reading. wIt is not like video which requires your eye balls.

Red Room is created with the same philosophy. I will push Red Room to have a net-radio with interesting interview in the future. Stay tune.

Freda, this is Taiwan, a place you can realize your dream if you want it bad enough. 🙂

Love,

Ping

Nick, a first -timer to Red Room, wrote this to me:

Last evening’s Red Room gathering was a first time experience for me and family and friends. The performances were creative, diverse, insightful, exciting, thought-provoking, brave, out of the box, inspiring, lesson-sharing, moving, personal, energetic, inspiring and aspiring. Many transcended time and space. They opened corners of life and mind that were often in unnoticed in shadow. Yoga, group meditation, poetry, prose, music, guitars, ukeleles, music ranging from Judy Garland to Teresa Teng, original compositions, theatre, drama, life and death. Artists of every genre. Color, tastes, minds eye, time travel, Shakespeare, Virgil’s tales of Aeneid, connecting beings and connecting souls. What a special energy and chemistry. Bravo to the artists of this world. There is a clarity, power, earth and life force that you have helped nurture and unlock. Keep doing it. The future is connected with the past thru you. Bravo to the people who make this happen. Hail something truly wonderful. Deeply appreciated. Third Saturday of every month on Da An Rd 2fl above Aveda between Chunghsiao and Jenai. Come, plan on it. Life is different with the Red Room. What a wonderful evening and experience! Breathless and calm and settling…don’t hesitate, rekindle the inner energy and let the earth be glad and your soul be touched.

Come and experience it for yourself. Join us next month on October 15 (every third Saturday of the month).

設計好生活講座: 生活也需要教練 / 陳郁敏 Ming, 6/29 (三) 20:00-21:30

我的好友/教練陳郁敏很少做公開講座,難得這次接受蘑菇的邀請,分享如何設計自己的生活。我鼓勵大家不只參加講座,更要主動把自己的困惑或問題提出來,ask Ming to coach you! 名額只限35人!不要錯過一個機會,馬上連絡蘑菇報名。

 

如果有一天,縱使我們洗得香噴噴,躺在曬過陽光的棉被裡,心中仍舊感到有個地方怪怪的、悶悶的,好像做什麼事都不對勁,該怎麼辦?

像是運動員,我們其實也需要「生活教練」,從照見自己開始,把心裡的垃圾打包出清,到發現「原來還有這麼多選擇」、「原來改變是可行的」、「原來克服恐懼才能快樂往前進」……來協助我們得到美好生活。
如果有一天,縱使我們洗得香噴噴,躺在曬過陽光的棉被裡,心中仍舊感到有個地方怪怪的、悶悶的,好像做什麼事都不對勁,該怎麼辦?

像是運動員,我們其實也需要「生活教練」,從照見自己開始,把心裡的垃圾打包出清,到發現「原來還有這麼多選擇」、「原來改變是可行的」、「原來克服恐懼才能快樂往前進」……來協助我們得到美好生活。

陳郁敏Ming,一位生活教練,寫有暢銷書《漣漪詞:11個改變人我關係的正向思考》,服務對象包括企業和個人。生活教練,不是心理諮商師,也不是老師,「教練是一面鏡子,協助你覺察自己,認清限制自己發揮及快樂的因素,如何進行改變,也是由你自己說出口的,而不是我說你應該如何做,因為你的人生由你作主。」

有人寧願享受痛苦,也不願改變,有人沉湎在英雄事蹟裡,而不願放下,「這些都是自我保護機制,避免面對恐懼、避免受到傷害、避免失望,沒有甚麼不對。但對於未來的你來說,帶著這些心靈包袱,又有什麼幫助呢?」Ming的教練工作和運動教練一樣,看的是一個人的現在與未來,協助我們看清現實、澄清願景,在知道現實離願景有多遠之後,才能產生行動計畫,有所作為。

她會耐心聽你說,問你問題,每問一個問題,就像在畫樹狀圖一樣,衍生出好幾種選項,產生不同的結果,你將看見新的可能性和開放的選擇。最後,將在幽默的對談中,讓我們自己想通。

6/29晚上,請帶著心裡的「陳年汙垢」前來。我們將以匿名方式,請參加者寫下問題,然後由Ming抽出問題,來場團體教練,一起看到突破與改變!
