Why am I here to teach?
Do you know the legend of Narcissus?
A youth who knelt daily beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus.
But this was not how the author of the book ended the story.
When Narcissus died, the goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.
“Why do you weep?”The goddesses asked. “I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.”
My Reflection
For me, teaching is a mirror .I put the writers you are not familiar with in front of you. Through me, you can know the writes and know yourself. This is the meaning of eduation.If you can see the beauty of Chinese though my depths of eyes , this is my pleasure.
『詩者，志之所之也，在心為志，發言為詩，情動於中而形於言，言之不足，故嗟嘆之，嗟嘆之不足，故詠歌之，詠歌之不足，不知手之舞之，足之蹈之也。
情發於聲，聲成文謂之音，治世之音安以樂，其政和；亂世之音怨以怒，其政乖；亡國之音哀以思，其民困。故正得失，動天地，感鬼神，莫近於詩。』《毛詩序》
文學作品是作者人生的體悟，小思老師說：「靈感源於生活。」中文是世上獨有的方塊字，一個方塊字是一個天地。余光中說：「憑空寫一個「雨」字，點點滴滴，滂滂沱沱，淅瀝淅瀝淅瀝，一切雲情雨意，就宛然其中了。」若能讓同學認識中文的美，從中了解人生，感悟世情，那是我的榮幸。
