About Me

My name is Edith Chan. I am a designer and illustrator based in Seattle, USA. I love dreaming, writing and drawing. Pencils and paint brushes are my magical wands giving my imaginations form. I was born and brought up in Macao, the first and the last European colony in China. Living in Macau gave me the opportunity to explore western and eastern arts. I have spent most of my life in this little city, until 2007 I moved to the United States and started this blog to document my adventure in America. You don’t have to be a Blogger or Google member to leave comments. Please take a moment to let me know you were here. Thank you and have a beautiful day!

Sushi,一隻了不起的狗BB

SNV30960.JPG.ewolvJ0XBFsD.jpg

Sushi睡在新買的狗籠裏,我靜悄悄的走近偷望她。啊,太可愛了,她竟然懂得拿自己的毛毛羊公仔作為枕頭!(那隻毛毛羊公仔是Sushi的心肝寶貝),我望着Sushi睡在籠裏覺得很心痛,要困她在小小的籠裏實在太殘忍了吧!但是我們實在没有辦法,都這麼久了,她還在家中撒尿。

我問:"明明Sushi巳經學懂了在外邊去厠所,怎麼她還會在家中撒尿呢?",Mason微微笑的對我說:"那麼你小時候,是不是不對的東西就不會去做?","你不要小看狗仔,他們絶對不是讓你亂舞的玩具,他們也有自己的心思的!"。

很快我便知道Mason所說是對的,這個狗籠本來買回來是要管教和懲罰Sushi的,每當她犯錯時,我們就大聲責罵, 罰打,然後困她在籠裏,好讓她面壁思過。但久而久之,當Sushi犯了錯,知道自己快要受皮肉之苦的時候,她都會"拿拿聲"自己走入籠裏,並且把門關上. Sushi心想:"與其被你們虐打之後再關進籠裏,不如我乾脆自己困自己進籠裏,這便可以逃過一次災難!",可惜的是,Mason往往見到她錯了還不乖乖企定受罰,便會怒火衝燒,把Sushi從籠裏"稱"出來狠狠的打一頓。 可憐的Sushi,懂得關門是不足夠的,你大概下一步,是要研究怎樣"鎖門"!

我本來以為籠子的門是巧合地自己關上,但後來時不時還會發現Sushi突然自己在籠裏,而且門子是關上的,我決定要查出真相!一天,我又看到Sushi要自己走入籠,我靜靜跟蹤她......天啊!Sushi走入籠子之後,竟然真的自己用鼻子推向門內側把門關上。 我很擔心的跟Mason說:"我們是不是把Sushi打成有自閉症了?她竟然把自己關在籠裏!",Mason說:"入了房間之後把門關上,Sushi是要有自己的空間啊!"。

捉猴子

最近我聽了一個有趣的故事:

"從前有一個很擅長在森林捉猴子的獵人,他有一套獨特的捉猴子方法,就是在地下掘一個洞,放一個椰子進去,再用一枝木棒擋住洞口作為捉猴子的陷阱。設置了陷阱之後,獵人躲在草叢裏等待猴子出現。果然,不久後有隻猴子走近洞邊去拿那個椰子。當猴子申手去抓住椰子的時候,獵人立刻走出去要捉那隻猴子,猴子見勢立刻要逃,但牠的手郤因為被扣在洞裏而動彈不得,猴子最終被獵人捉住了。

聽起來似乎很諷刺,其實那隻猴子只要鬆手放開那個椰子,便立即可以把手縮回來然後逃走;偏偏隻猴子一心想拿走那個椰子,因為不願意放棄手中的椰子,最終束手就擒。"

大家覺得那隻猴子很可笑嗎?但是要學懂放手,是一點也不容易的。想想在我們生活中,是否有些時候,也因為太執著一些東西,在應該放手時不願意放手,而至使自己堕進兩難的困局?

Don't Quit Easily

上星期六看了National Treasure,劇中男主角有句說話我覺得很值得深思:'愛迪生經過失敗了二千次才成功發明電燈泡, 當別人說他失敗了二千次的時候,愛迪生說:"我没有失敗過,我只是發現了二千個不能發明電燈泡的方法,但要成功,我郤只需找出一個方法。' ('Thomas Edison invented the light bulb; it took him nearly 2,000 attempts until he finally got it right. And when someone would say to him that he failed 2,000 times before he got it right, he would say “I didn’t fail. I found 2,000 ways not to make a carbon filament light bulb, and I only need to find one way to make it work.”)。

在現實生活中,我們可以發現千萬個理由告訴自己不可能成功,但其實要成功,郤只需一個理由。
