《關於跳出框框》 《About Getting Out of Comfort Zone》 開始寫有關德國文化同品牌時都有啲緊張，唔知大家個反應如何，但暫時收到既回響都好正面，朋友們俾左好大動力我繼續寫落去。 最近收到一個留言，係一位單親媽媽寫既，佢話睇完我帶仔遊德國既文章感到十分鼓舞，奈何家人反對，佢無辦法帶小朋友出遊。其實收到佢既訊息我都好大感觸。 亞洲人既成長既過程都被灌輸要「孝順」、「聽話」、「乖」，有時家人既愛同保護正正就係令我地一路活喺Comfort Zone入面既原因。由細到大我都唔算係一個壞既女，有時阿媽講咩我都會放喺心上面，對我黎講父母既認同比其他野更加緊要。 但生完阿仔之後，我發現人生真係好短暫。一個BB幾年間就變左個識行識跳既細蚊仔。如果一路行儒家思想路線，你可以盡孝但真係一世未必行到自己想行既路。當然我唔係話睇完呢篇文即刻喺個Long Weekend 同老豆老母開片反面D7佢地。 我想提出既重點係，You only live once，如果你有你既夢想，亦自信有充足既準備，無論咩人俾意見你都好，繼續行自己要走既路。 2020年，關關難過關關過。 When I first started writing about Germany it was stressful, I didn’t know what to anticipate but I am more relieved these days receiving positive reviews from you. These messages encourage me to keep writing. One of the messages I received earlier is from another single mom, she said she was very delighted in reading me bringing my son on a foreign land, she wanted to do the same but her own family utterly opposed the idea. I have much empathy and mixed feelings towards it. In Asia, we are often raised where we are told to be obedient and love our parents no matter what. It’s exactly this kind of upbringing that put us in our comfort zones. I love and respect my mom, and I took what she said by heart. However, after Hugo was born, I have the feeling that life is really short. A baby grows into a little child in just a few years‘ time. If I live the way my mom wants me to live, and if I live under the Confucius way, I may never be able to do what I want. The point I would like to stress here is, you only live once, if there’s something you want to achieve, and if you are prepared for what you want to achieve(including failing), go for it no matter what others say. 2020, take an uneasy path. =================================== .
