Coliving心得-慶儀
心得之一
如果一天連10分鐘都擠不出來，你還敢說自己喜歡做那件事嗎？
“I read when drying my hair. I read in the bath. I read when I'm sitting in the bathroom.” The author of renowned Harry Potter series, J. K. Rowling, once said.
所以，至少要嘗試在忙得暈頭轉向的日子哩，再空出時間給自己的興趣。
但是，如果沒有時間可以做自己喜歡做的事情，那我的人生又在瞎忙而們呢? 如果必須要如倒吃甘蔗一般先苦後甘，也是要明確的知道這份苦在將來會轉化為甘，畢竟時間就這麼多，已經浪費了很多時間瞎忙於各種事情了。
先苦後甘，大部分的時候都不知道自己為何需要這份苦，但又喪失了所有給自己的時間，當好不容易得來的空閒時間只能為了明天的瞎忙而休息，就需要重新思考自己站的位置，及腳下走路的方向了。
讀過莊子鯤化為鵬後，再重新了解自己的生活，“here I stand, her I will stay,” After Elsa found the right place for herself, she sang. 希望再次抬起腳部，可以更明確地踏下去。
心得之二
Language Exchange Partners in Hostels
I remember my friends and I always needed to endeavor on stopping ourselves using Mandarin and only using English during lunchtime when I was studying in college. Nevertheless, we tended to stop our conversation due to some unknown vocabs and it turned out using Mandarin again without awareness. As a result, I was even unconfident at speaking English and unsure whether the way and accent I speak was understandable by foreigners before I went to Canada.
But, here in the hostel, I can speak different languages for as long as I want, English, Korean, French, Dutch, etc. I was curious why nobody encourages students to experience lives in this kind of hostels. I mean, though not every foreigner fluent in English stays in hostels, working here also broadened my horizon in different way. And many of the guests who choose hostels like communicating with others I think.
In short, hostels is a good place to do language exchange and make friends with low budget 🙂
