張三豐︰「無忌啊！你心裡邊可不能時時刻刻的裝著仇恨，要懂得饒恕，明白嗎？」
張無忌︰「可是那些壞人害死了覺遠大師，又逼走了你，還直說你是少林叛徒，難道你不恨他們嗎？」
張三豐︰「我要是一直在意這些的話，那不是用他們的錯誤來折磨我自己嗎？就像你義父謝遜，時刻都放不下仇恨，其實苦的是他自己啊！」
張無忌︰「我義父他的確過得不開心。」
張三豐︰「冤冤相報何時了啊！只有學會了饒恕，才是對自己最大的寬容。」
張無忌︰「太師父，無忌太任性，太衝動了。太師父辛辛苦苦帶我來少林求醫，卻被我給弄砸了。」
張三豐︰「你沒有錯呀！人固然要寬容大度，但是基本的氣節風骨不能丟！這三個和尚，如此地冥頑不化，和他們再談下去，多說無益了……」
Stewardship delegation is focused on results instead of methods. It gives people a choice of method and makes them responsible for results. It takes more time in the beginning, but it's time well invested...Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience, and it doesn't preclude the necessity to train and develop people so that their competency can raise to the level of that trust.
管理式授權注重的是結果而不是方法。它讓人們可以選擇方法，並讓他們對結果負責。一開始需要花更多的時間，但投資的時間是值得的……信任是推動人員的最高形式。它能帶出人們最優秀的一面。但這需要時間和耐心，也不排除訓練和培養人員的必要性，以便他們的能力能夠提升到信任的水準。

學童自殺個案雖減少 精神健康支援難鬆懈
政府去年底推出中學「三層應急機制」，識別及支援自殺高風險學生，暫定實施至明年底，精神健康諮詢委員會主席林正財近日表示，學童自殺問題已見改善，今年九月及十月發生的校園自殺個案有四宗，少於去年同期。這是一個積極信號，反映機制有效，然而學童精神健康仍需密切關注。為防自殺潮再起，當局應思考如何優化支援機制並將之恆常化，不能因為自殺個案減少，就掉以輕心。本港公營醫療系統負荷沉重，精神科醫生嚴重不足，校外社工支援網絡，可以發揮重要作用，當局應該優化相關機制，鼓勵學校善用，不應因為現時轉介個案不多，就削減支援安排。
去年九月開學後，學童輕生悲劇一再上演。為應對學童精神健康及自殺問題，政府去年十二月在全港中學推出「三層應急機制」，為有精神健康需要的學生提供多層保護網，第一層由校方及早識別及支援有自殺風險的學生，校內團隊負責跟進；第二層涉及校外支援網絡，校方可將個案轉介予社署統籌的「校外支援網絡隊伍」。第三層涉及醫療機構，校方可將嚴重個案，轉介至醫管局精神科。
小學作文寫〈我的志願〉，我寫我希望成為天文學家。不記得這是中文測驗還是考試的題目，老師評價不錯。小時候，母親帶我到圖書館，我喜歡看有關宇宙的書籍。當年，冥王星還未被剔出於九大行星。我還記得有一本書中說，太陽會自轉。我半信半疑，問母親太陽是否真的會自轉。母親說不會，我便相信書本是錯的，扁頭仔出名是乖仔，媽媽說的一定是對。在那篇作文，我亦清楚表達，在香港，要成為天文學家難過登天。人大了，才知道要讀數學、物理學和天體物理學。要有所成就，絕非易事。
大學 JUPAS 選科，我希望就讀有關環境保護的學科。小時候，我看過一本書，講述復活節島的故事。島上居民人口增加、過度開墾、運送石像，大量砍伐樹木。復活節島是一個孤島，地球是一條村。環境破壞導致不少禍害，道理是一樣。就算自己擁有的力量是微不足道，亦知道有一些破壞是不可逆轉，但這已成為自己的一個志向。後來，高級程度會考成積不理想，進不到想入讀的學科，便無奈放棄。不過，環保可先從個人著手。例如，我很少買新衣服，因為我知道製造一件衣服，需要很多水資源。後來才明白，如果修讀關於環境保護工程的學科，高考需要選數學科而不是生物科。這就是沒有人生規劃的惡果。
高考遭受挫折，全因從小沒有閱讀課外書的習慣，導致語文能力積弱。那時看到有一個可以銜接護理學的副學士課程。醫生可以救人，護士都有其使命感，是一份極富意義的工作。雖然最後能夠勉強畢業，在老師的建議下沒有在醫院工作。自己根本是不自量力。記性差，記不到護理程序。緊張的時候，雙手都震。緊急情況下，不能冷靜應對。幸好的是，知識是無價，大學課程學到的豈止是護理程序。學到的護理知識都曾經幫助到身邊的人。
現在的工作與書結緣，緊隨的工作與文化藝術結緣，都是同一間公司。

生科創新機遇大 醫療優勢盡發揮
香港擁有先進的醫療健康服務，惟如行政長官李家超所言，本港有關優勢未全面發揮，若能結合內地龐大的臨床數據庫，將有助促進高增值科研活動，長遠在港打造「藥監局」，經濟可增添動力，港府應盡快打通關鍵節點，大力推進構想。
兩地優勢互補 數據共享需突破
香港以國際化的醫療水平和頂尖的科研基礎聞名，兩所醫學院均為全球一流學術機構，不僅培養了大批醫療專才，亦推動了無數國際醫療研究，尤其在抗癌、神經科學和免疫學等領域，香港醫療科研屢屢取得突破。
然而，正如李家超所指出，本港的醫療優勢尚未充分發揮，若能與內地攜手，善用粵港澳大灣區八千萬人口的病人數據，推動臨床試驗與新藥研發，將事半功倍，從而提升香港的國際競爭力及創造商機，李家超直言長遠目標是設立藥監局，審批藥物和醫療器械。

omniscient: knowing everything
subordinate: to treat as of less value or importance
work out: to develop in a successful way
I see many parents, particularly mothers with small children, often frustrated in their desire to accomplish a lot because all they seem to do is meet the needs of little children all day. Remember, frustration is a function of our expectations, and our expectations are often a reflection of the social mirror rather than our own values and priorities.
許多父母，特別是有小孩子的母親，常常因為想要完成許多事而感到挫折，因為他們似乎整天所做的就是滿足小孩子的需求。請記住，挫折感是我們的期望所造成的，而我們的期望往往是社會鏡子的反映，而不是我們自己的價值觀和優先順序。
spontaneous: proceeding from natural feeling or native tendency without external constraint
The fourth-generation tool (self-management rather than time management) recognizes that principle (People are more important than things). It also recognizes that the first person you need to consider in terms of effectiveness rather than efficiency is yourself. It encourages you to spend time in Quadrant II (Important, Not Urgent), to understand and center your life on principles, to give clear expression to the purposes and values you want to direct your daily decisions. It helps you to create balance in your life.
人比事更重要，從效能而非效率的角度來看，您需要考慮的第一個人就是您自己。您需要花時間在重要而非緊急的事，您需要的是自我管理而非單單時間管理。
lip service: if somebody pays lip service to something, they say that they approve of it or support it, without proving their support by what they actually do
