海倫凱勒:
「這個世界充滿了痛苦與掙扎,但是也充滿了克服這些痛苦與掙扎的故事。」
「生命要不就是一場大膽的冒險,不然就什麼都不是。」
「這世上最美也最棒的東西是看不見也摸不著的。只能用心才感覺的到。」

六月二十七號,也就是昨天,是海倫凱勒的生日。她是知名的美國作家,鼓勵大家的演講者,也是熱血的政治左派革命者。她更是第一位取得大學學歷的聾啞盲人。
.
她的演說鼓勵感動了無數人,當然也包括我。我經常想像海倫凱勒是個怎樣的女孩呢?她熱血叛逆活出自我,她韌性極強也樂觀鼓舞,她是個水相星座又很愛水。她喜歡寫作,也積極公益活動。這些都和我好像啊!
.
但她也一生未嫁,只和老師蘇利文終身陪伴。感覺好像我和我的海龜博士一樣。
.
昨天,我選擇在她生日這天寫出自己軟弱的一面。收到了好多大家的愛與鼓勵,感覺平常真的有在積德的感覺呢嗚嗚嗚嗚!忽然驚覺,海倫凱勒一定也是如此吧!!!她一定也有低潮的時候。而那些曾被她鼓勵的人們,也一定曾回頭給她更多的能量。
.
然後這些愛的力量,就這樣循環加強下去了。
.
謝謝你們。謝謝海倫凱勒。
Helen Keller:
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
“Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.”
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."

June 27. Yesterday was the birthday of Helen Keller; an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was also the first deaf-blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree.
.
Her lectures have touched and motivated billions of people including me. I often wonder what kind of girl Helen Keller was. She was passionate, daring and rebellious and was always true to herself. She was resilient and optimistically cheerful. She was a water sign and loved water. She enjoyed writing and focused on social reform and non-profit organization efforts. I find striking resemblance between us!
.
But she was also unmarried for life, only was companied by her friend and teacher Sullivan. Just like Dr. Turtle and me.
.
I chose to write about my vulnerability and depression on her birthday, and I received so much encouragement and love from everyone. It feels like good karma!!! I suddenly realized that Helen Keller must have been the same! She ought to have her own highs and lows, and those who were encouraged by her must have given positive energy back to her back then.
.
These love and power were then further passed on.
.
Thank you all. Thank you, Helen Keller.
