Days After… Workshop
五天以後:事後工作
忙碌的假期
A Busy Holiday
回到香港,理論上充足的休息能夠令考試和旅程所累積的疲勞得到舒暢。可是,複雜而多不勝數的事後工作卻繼續把我們的休息時間推遲。其中,個人報告、小組報告和帳目的工作最為耗時,更改次數不下數十次,弄得要經常回校一起商討細節。心裏突然有種感覺很想把工作放下,向期待已久的暑假奔去,但那可惡的責任感制止了那股衝動,我們只能乖乖地繼續工作。
不合標準的個人報告
Serious Lessons in Completing Individual Report
旅程結束後的第七天,已經是回港後第二次回校商討有關細節了。個人報告質素的參差,弄得劉老師不得不和我們討論一下,當中以個人感想的部份最為深刻。
劉老師不但教我們如何作出反省,還以身作則地打開心扉把自己的感受表達出來,同時亦鼓勵我們反省。具有深度的言語令我們不得不立即作出深度反省。
Our initial Individual and Group Reports were rejected by Julian, in fact several times. We at first were annoyed at his insistence, but with him chipping in time to give us examples
and suggestions, we came to the realization that we need to be proud of our own work. These reports are no longer for a project at classroom nor are those that earn us any marks, these actual raise our own pride and self-image. What matter to us is “Have I try my best? “ , for things small and big, tiny or significant.
發問沒甚麼大不了
Asking Questions Is Not a Big Deal
即使多麼深刻的回憶亦會有記憶變淡的一天,為了鞏固記憶,我們製作兩條影片,一條是影片集合,另一條則是幻燈片演示,希望能夠成為回憶的一部份,有朝一日如果記憶變淡,也能夠藉此加強記憶。
製作影片時,發現製作影片沒想像中那麼困難。可是,為了讓影片沒那麼苦悶,我們為影片配上音樂,卻沒有得到版權。為此我們電郵到唱片商希望得到他們的批准,沒想到唱片商竟然一口答應。
經過此事,我們學習到發問是沒甚麼大不了的事情,不發問永遠得不到答應,發問還有一線生機。
“Ask and you shall be given, knock and the door shall be opened.” This is a very simple truth and yet many of us do not even bother to try it out. We did this time.
