My Dear Sister Halaalah,

感謝 您的捧場 + 鼓勵喔. 

本狼很榮幸 您是這篇文章的第一個粉絲.   

I am currently 棲身於 the east Los Angeles area.

This joke is very difficult to be translated in Chinese, or in any other languages for that matter.  The reason being that in order to fully appreciate it, one has to understand the cultural and societal background of the America.  I MAY try to add some footnotes or annotations to explain it when I have time.

Thanks so much, Gary. I really appricate for sharing the nice article. Most of UDN readers don't read English well. We could translate them into Chinese, it might be great. But we make sure someone who can read English, we don't use any Chinese in our articles.  

I am in Texas.

下回開始我會全打中文, 加強中打的速度

I can enjoy myself reading, writing, listening and speaking both Chinese and English.

Share my reflection of the turtle story.

Have a great day.

Some of us waste our lives waiting for people to live up to our expectations. We are so concerned about what others are doing; however, we don't do anything ourselves.

Haha, a great parable reminds us of a simple truth—stop waiting for others to live up to our expectation; we could fulfill our own expectations by successive actions. After all, we are always our best friends who know what we ask for, what we expect for, what we like to be treated, what we enjoy doing, who we love, whom we enjoy talking to, whom we wish to write to, whom we are willing to share some special moments with, and even what we are supposed to do now.

Stop excepting others to meet our expectations, just do whatever makes ourselves happier while taking our responsibilities seems to be more realistic and meaningful.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”quoted by Aristotle, could be a great reminder as well. The habit which I wish to form right now is simple--enjoy my happiness with various smiles.

I do wish both of us could have excellent smiles.

Helen with a hopeful smile

Wow, thanks for your kindness and generosity for sharing a great turtle poem with me.

Here comes a parable of the turtle as a feedback. Have a great night.

Helen

Parable of the Turtle

A turtle family went on a picnic. The turtles, being naturally slow about things, took seven years to prepare for their outings. Finally the turtle family left home looking for a suitable place. During the second year of their journey they found it. For about six months they cleaned up the area, unpacked the picnic basket, and completed the arrangements.

Then they discovered they had forgotten the salt. A picnic without salt would be a disaster, they all agreed. After a lengthy discussion, the youngest turtle was chosen to retrieve the salt from home.

Although he was the fastest of the slow moving turtles, the little turtle whined, cried, and wobbled in his shell. He agreed to go on one condition: that no one would eat until he returned. The family consented and the little turtle left.

Three years passed-- and the little turtle had not returned. Five years...six years.. then in the seventh year of his absence, the oldest turtle could no longer contain his hunger. He announced that he was going to eat and began to unwrap a sandwich.

At that point the little turtle suddenly popped out from behind a tree shouting, "SEE I knew you wouldn't wait. Now I am not going to go get the salt."
