這是以前公司的上司阿潘在我離職時送給我的farewell gift。還記得我last day時，她把這盆植物送給我。我對她說：「你送有生命的東西給我？！」有生命的禮物意味著我要負責延續其生命，而要讓生命成長是要付出愛心和代價的。我很努力地每星期澆水兩次，到了夏天，因為太熱了,有兩塊葉子燶了,於是我把它放在有冷氣的地方。到了現在,差不多七個月了,葉子比以前多了幾塊,雖然本來有的兩朵花都凋謝了,希望遲一些會再長出來吧！

five love languages
i have finished a book called "the five love languages". the author, gary chapman, says that every one has their primary love language. if someone speaks your primary love language, you will then feel you are loved by that person. these five love languages are "words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch".
the book is intended for couples. according to the author, a couple married because they were "in love". this "in love" experience caused them to get married. but after marriage, they will come down from that "in love" feeling. this doesn't mean that they do not love one another anymore, but that they should then pursue "real love" -- a love that grows out of reason and choice, and that requires effort and discipline. during this post-in-love stage, if they can speak one another's love language, their "love tank" will be full and their relationship will be kept. if not, an empty tank will make them feel not being loved and frustrated. some couples may even get divorced. the author has quoted numerous real cases in which couples nearly getting divorced are saved by this "love language".
he also says that love language also applies to children. so i think everyone has their love language and if we can speak the love language of our spouse, families, friends, etc., we will all be in harmony. want to find out your primary love language? read the book! a good read indeed!
