“�我考零分”

 

有��一�父子:父�是��哥�比�大�博士,著名作家、�家;

 

�子是哈佛大��士、波士�CitSep音�指�及��WllRBD���作主持人、作家。

 

�是被���奇的一�父子。然而,�子在中���是�不折不扣的差生,

 

他的考�卷上永�是"C"。作家父�如何�差生�子�成�等生?

 

��父�叫�墉。���子叫��。

 

 

 

20099月,��抵�上海�新�《叛逆年代》�售,

 

接受����述了�墉拜�他考零分的�特家教故事......

 

 

 

我在中�����有�完小�就跟著父��家搬�到了美�。�入中�後,

 

我�始叛逆。然後就�成了一��老��痛的孩子:�皮、��、�做白日�,

 

 

 

每天憧憬的就是�成一�像舒�赫那�的��手。所以,我的成�很糟糕,

 

不知道什��候�始,我的成��成了雷打不�的"C",��教�我的所有老�都��可施。

 

 

 

�墉�於忍不住找我��了,在我12�之後,他就跟我�,我可以直呼他的名字,

 

�然我想叫他爸爸他也很�迎。�於他�我一直比���,所以我多半�侯�呼他�爸爸,

 

 

 

偶��得心情不好的�候才�叫他�墉。�在他要就我的��成��我展���,

 

我的心情就�始不好了。他先是�我意味深�地笑了笑,��笑容在我看�很��。

 

 

 

他�我�:"你的老�告�我,你�在整天�想著�舒�赫那�的��手,�得不���了,��?"

 

 

 

"是的。"我感�他的��有一些鄙�的成分,�是�一�14�少年尊�的莫大侮辱,

 

我有�挑�地�:"舒�赫是我的偶像,他像我��大�成�也很糟糕,他�考�零分,

 

 

 

�在不照��了世界����手?"�墉突然爽朗地笑了起�,

 

那笑��我�得有���的味道:"他考了零分,�了��手。

 

 

 

可是,你��就�有考�零分啊,每次都是'C'!"

 

�完,他的手�背後亮出�,�我�了�手中那�成��。

 

 

 

他竟然笑�我�有考�零分?我真的�得自己受到了侮辱。

 

我咽了一口唾沫,�喉���出低沉的�音:"那�,你希望我考�零分�你看看�?"

 

 

 

他往椅子背上一靠,�出一�坐得很舒服的姿�,笑了:"好啊,你��主意很不�!

 

那就�我�打��吧,你要是考了零分,那�以後你的��一切自便,我�不干涉;

 

 

 

可是,你一天�有考到零分,就必�服�我的管理,按照我的�定去好好��。如何?"

 

我�很�真地�掌�盟,我在心�已��始�笑不已了,我�得自己遇到了一�天底下最可�也最愚蠢的父�。

 

 

 

"但是,既然是'考',那就得遵守必要的考���:�卷必�答完,

 

不能一字不填交白卷,也不能留著�目不答,更不能��逃�,

 

 

 

如果那�的�即����,好不好?"��不��?

 

我的心��出快�的�叫,不假思索地答道:"�有��!"很快便迎�了考�。�下�卷後,

 

 

 

我快速地填好自己的名字,�始答卷。反正�些�死的��我平�就有五分之三不�,考�零分不是什���吧?

 

第一�是��的:在第二次世界大�中,指�美�人民反��粹的�任��是�?

 

 

 

下面有三���答案:卡特、�斯福、艾森豪。我知道是�斯福,�故意在答�卡上�下了艾森豪的名字。

 

接下�的�道�都是如此。可�竟��是按先易後�的原�出的,��的�度不�增加,甚至很陌生。

 

 

 

在做後面的��,我�不知道哪�是正�答案,所以答��就�始犯�,但按照�定,我又不能空著不答,

 

最後我只能硬著�皮,像以往那��蒙一通。走出考�,我忽然��自己手心�竟然出了汗。

 

 

 

我第一次感�到,原�考零分也很�!我的心情�始沮�,

 

因�我�得我�可能在�蒙的�候蒙到了正�答案,如果那�的�,我就考不了零分了。

 

 

 

�卷�果出�了,是可�的"C",而不是可�的"O"!灰�土�地�著�卷回家,�墉笑眯眯地走��,提醒我,

 

 

 

"咱�可是有�在先哦,如果你�有考到零分,你必���我的指�和安排。"

 

我低下�,暗�自己不��,竟然��零分都考不到。

 

 

 

同�也在心�作好了最�的��,他�能怎�指�我?�非是�我好好努力早日考到A而已嘛!  

 

 

 

�墉煞有其事地清了嗓子,�出了他�我的命令:"�在,我拜�你早一天考到零分,或者�,

 

你近期的��目�的向零分�刺!哪一天考到了零分,哪一天你就�得自由!"

 

 

 

我差�以�我的耳朵�掉了,或者差�以��墉的�子�掉了,��的大好��送到他手上,

 

他竟然�我��放�,�且�限制地�我��救的��?考零分比考A

 

 

 

我�得�是前者更容易一些。於是,我看到了一�曙光。  

 

 

 

很快又迎�了第二次考�......�局�是一�,又是"C"!

 

第三次、第四次......我一次又一次地向零分�刺。�了早日考到零分,我不由自主地�始努力��。

 

然後,我�始��自己有把握做�的�越�越多。�句��,我�做的�越�越多。  

 

 

 

一年後,我成功地考到了第一�零分!也就是�,�卷上所有的�目我都�做,

 

每一�我都能判�出哪�答案正�,哪�答案是��的。

 

 

 

�墉那天很高�,�自下�房做了一桌菜,端起酒杯大�宣�:"��,祝�你,�於考到了零分!"

 

 

 

他�我眨眨眼,加了一句�:"有能力考到A的�生,才有本事考出零分。��道理你�在��已�知道,

 

不�我是早就��好了,你被我耍了,哈哈哈......" 的�,我承�我被�墉――我的爸爸耍了。

 

 

 

在���局中,其�我的一�一�,都早已�在他的�料之中。可是,把考�分的要求�成考零分,

 

我就�得容易接受得多,�且�意�了�到��目�而努力。真不知怎�想的。

 

 

 

後�,我考上了哈佛,�完�士,正在�博士,�了��了�,拿了音��,�得了表演�,

 

似乎在18�以後,我就再也不去想做舒�赫第二了。我�得我完全可以做到��第一。

 

 

 

�在,我跟爸爸一起�了一�博客,主�是"�代人��的父子博客"。

 

我很享受��可以跟他推心置腹,�表不同�解的交流和�通。

 

 

 

我想,如果我有了孩子,我也�跟他定下同�的"零分之�",

 

���是比�分之�要科�,巧妙,有用得多的�定......

 

�人的��

 

�前有一��人,很�,一�富人�他可�,就起了善心,想�他致富。

 

富人送�他一�牛,�他好好�荒,等春天�了撒上�子,秋天就可以��那�"�"字了。

 

�人��希望�始��。可是���天,牛要吃草,人要吃�,日子比�去��。

 

�人就想,不如把牛�了,��只羊,先�一只吃,剩下的�可以生小羊,

 

�大了拿去�,可以�更多的�。

 

�人的��如�以�,只是吃了一只羊之後,小羊���有生下�,日子又��了,忍不住又吃了一只。

 

�人想:��下去不得了,不如把羊�了,�成�,�生蛋的速度要快一些,�蛋立刻可以��,日子立刻可以好�。

 

�人的��又如�以�了,但是日子��有改�,又��了,又忍不住��,�於�到只剩一只��,�人的理想�底崩�。

 

他想:致富是�望了,�不如把��了,打一�酒,三杯下肚,�事不愁。

 

很快春天�了,�善心的富人�致勃勃送�子�,竟然���人正就著�菜喝酒,牛早就�有了,房子�依然一�如洗

 

富人看�眼前的景象�口�什�也��就失望���身走了。

 

�人仍然一直�著。

 

很多�人都有��想,甚至有��遇,有�行�,但要�持到底�很�。

 

�一�投�家�,他的成功秘�就是:���,不管再困�,也不要�用投�和�蓄,�力�使你找到��的新方法,�你�清��。�是�好��。

 

性格形成��,���定成功。

 

【��】

 

好的��使人成功,�的��使人失�,如此一�不用成本�能翻身的���白白的�失真是�人�他�的可惜。

 

而成功者�失�者最大的不同�在於,成功者�立目�後勇往直前,碰到困��改�方法再接再�,而失�者�立目�後若一碰到困��改�目�改�方法,��永��不上�化

Fw: [Goh Family] (Song) When you believe

Subject: [Goh Family] (Song) When you believe
 
I recently watched Prince of Egypt with family, and fall in love with this song that I listen over and over again, it truly moves me and encourages me to put faith and total confidence in the Lord, He will make it possible even when we see things/people as impossible...sometimes the reality of life is hard on us (job, family, children, church, house, car, bills, health, difficult people, the list goes on and on....) but we got to look at Jesus and put total faith and confidence, we got to believe and see things from spiritual eyes ... I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)

** The Hebrew children singing part bring tears to my eyes, listen to the singing with your hearts!

Miriam
Many nights we've prayed
with no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we ever knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

Tzipporah
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
With heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

Miriam and Tzipporah
There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe...

Hebrew Children
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-elim adonai
(Who is like You, oh Lord, among the celestial)

Few: Just a sharing of God's grace

Subject: Just a sharing of God's grace

Dear brothers and sisters,
 
Our family car totally broke down last Saturday. We have to shop for a new car in the next few days. Big headache for us now. However, there are still many things to be thankful. First of all, we really thank God for His protection to bring Doreen, mum and Jacob home safely. The brake line broke and the brake fluid burst and leaked when they were on the road. Doreen didn't realized the problem, and kept driving back home. She was wondering why she had to hit the brake pedal all the way to the floor in order to stop the car. (That is already in a very dangerous condition.)
 
Secondly, we really thank God that bro KoYung and sis Kai-Huei offered to borrow their car to us during our difficult time. We are so touched that they graciously borrowed us their new 2010 Rondo so that we could carry mum's luggage to airport today.
 
Thirdly, without the brake problem, car dealer only offers $500 for the trade-in due to the poorly maintained condition. (Our neighbor who knows car told me that I can still sell it for $1000 in street). That was 5 months ago. Now, with the brake line and fuel line system needs to be replaced (at least $1350), we've decided not to repair and keep the car.  I only had 3 choices (1) find somebody to sell it (which is impossible for me)  (2) to get the Canadian Tire to call their partner to tow it away for recycle  (3) I will find somebody to tow it away for recycle. I first thought I will never find a buyer, but God has arranged a mechanic to approach me when we went to our car to pick up our items. Well, I managed to sell it for $300. I've arranged to transfer the car ownership to him tomorrow.
 
Well, I was stressed in the past 2 days. After writing this email, and counting God's grace to our family. He is always there for me. The bible verse "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" never been so personal to me. Today, God had me experience it.  I am so relieved now. I trust in HIM.
 
Love and good night,
 
Kian

Rescued miner saw God, devil during captivity

(CNN) -- Having spent 69 days trapped inside the San Jose mine in Chile before being rescued, Mario Sepulveda says he is a changed man.

"I buried 40 years of my life down there, and I'm going to live a lot longer to be a new person," he said in a video conference, hours after surfacing from half a mile underground.

Sepulveda, the second miner extracted from the mine, has advice for those who take undue risks in their lives.

"I think I have learned a lot of wonderful lessons about taking the good path in life," he said. "For those of you able to call your wives, or your husbands, do so."

During the time he was trapped inside the mine, Sepulveda said he saw both good and evil.

"I was with God, and I was with the devil. They fought, and God won," he said. Sepulveda said he grabbed God's hand and never doubted that he would be rescued.

Sending your child to a Catholic school

Until a child tells you what they are thinking, we can't even begin to
imagine how their mind is working....


Little Zachary was doing very badly in math.
His parents had tried everything....tutors, mentors,
flash cards, special learning centers.
In short, everything they could think of to help his math.

Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him In
the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home
with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello.
Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.

Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was
hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.

To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a
word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before.

This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to
understand what made all the difference.

Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card.. He quietly laid it on
the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation,
His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an 'A' in
math.. She could no longer hold her curiosity.. She went to his room and
said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?' Little Zachary looked at her and
shook his head, no.. 'Well, then,' she replied, Was it the books, the
discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?'

Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school
when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling
around.'

Opps...  I got my balance over 14 cents at some point, but I quickly fixed it.  This is my own definition of over contribution of 14 cents here.
 
However, the CRA's definition is different from mine. I never know that my withdrawals would not be added back to the limit until the following year.
 
Today, I received a letter from CRA that my total of the excess TFSA amount is $25,000, and I have to pay $250 for the tax penalty.
 
Quite an expensive lesson for me.
 

TFSA account overcontribution

 
Dear Minister,
 
I mistakenly viewed my TFSA account as a regular savings account and were unaware that withdrawals would not be added back to the limit until the following year.
 
I have been very careful to make sure my TFSA balance is not over $5000 in year 2009. I withdrew some money out when I need it, deposited back so that I could benefit from the tax free saving account.
 
Today, I received a letter from CRA that my total of the excess TFSA amount is $25,000, and I have to pay $250 for the tax penalty.
 
The fact is that my account balance didn't get over $5000, and the interest earn from this account was $55.43. I thought I could save money, but now I have to pay $250 tax penalty for my honest mistake.
 
I plead you to to waive my TFSA overcontribution penalty.
