The famous American novelist Louisa May Alcott has once said, “I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship.” Life is littered with obstacles, the scars from the downs marking our journey with new experiences and knowledge, morphing into the ability we possess as we make our way towards our goal. However, it is easy to overlook the beauty of the nature, especially when work is loaded upon us and we engage in the unending combat with our demons. The natural world is a stunning composition, and changes with time - from green to golden to white, and never fails to astound its audience. It also handles its storms with grace - and just similar to how we also have difficulties in our lives, why don’t we take a page from Mother Gaia and learn how to co-opt these problems into our lives and march forward?

著名法國作家雨果曾說過一句話讓我印象深刻。他說：「沒有風，船帆只不過是一張破布。」人生充滿高低起伏，在無盡的旅途上必會遇上障礙，遇上需要克服的困境，遇上需要解決的問題，否則我們這一張布，與別人的有何分別？可是，當我們只顧著闖過一關又一關的困難時，總是很容易會忽略人生中的美，就像四周的花草樹木。大自然是一幅動人的畫像，隨著季節的變換，顏色亦會隨之變幻；時有綠，時有金，時有白。大自然是包容的，風災過後仍然是一片「景」，就像我們人生中多多少少的風暴，在勞苦的生活中，不妨從地球母親學習，帶著從災難中遇到的問題，向前直走？
