你是否發現：最近傍晚時分，不再夜幕低垂，一天比一天明亮？那是因為：春天來了！春天萬物甦醒，生氣蓬勃、活力再現，這一次Teacher Jack要和你分享有關春天的一些想法喔！
你的新年新計劃是什麼呢？
What is your New Year’s resolution?
新年伊始，我們常遇到這個問題，希望在新年有新氣象。有時候做這些計劃時，會需要令人振奮的元素（例如：巧克力、冰淇淋等），學一些新東西或有所改變。但問題是要持之以恆是件難事，為什麼呢？明明新的年度才剛開始啊～
It is a question we often ask after January 1st, expecting the New Year to bring along with it changes both in the world and within ourselves. These resolutions often center around giving something up (chocolate, ice cream, etc.), learning something new, or getting in shape. The problem that often follows these resolutions is that they are too difficult to keep, but the question is why? Why is it so difficult to change even when the year is new?
當我意識到這一年已有所變化，有形的世界卻仍然冰封。北方為暴雪所困、南方為狂雨所擾，世界尚未步入正軌。一直到春天到來，百草花木，陽光與萬物，這才正式甦醒，象徵希望的季節到來，為世界和人們注入活力，所以千萬不要氣餒！
What I’ve come to notice is that, though the year has changed, the world outside is still frozen. Whether you live in the north and get slammed with snow storms or the south drowning in rain, the world has yet to change into something different from the day before. That change won’t come until the spring. Not until the weather, trees, flowers, and sunlight begin to change will we feel the pull to do the same. It is a time of hope and that is something we so greatly need when it comes to making a change within ourselves. So don’t be discouraged.
靜待片刻。
Just wait.
草木在春天茁壯、植栽在春天萌芽。世界開始展現綠意新局面！和大家分享幾個佳句，來邁向下一步！
Spring is the time when roots grow stronger and the opportunity to plant new ones appears. The world begins to take on the green color that can be as connected to nature as it is to new experiences. So here are some inspirational quotes to help you in the coming spring to take that extra step, whether it be for little or big changes.
“The way to get started is to quit talking and to start doing.” –Walt Disney
“There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way and not starting.” –Buddha
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” –Helen Keller
“There are some things one can only achieve by a deliberate leap in the opposite direction.” –Franz Kafka
最後，我期許大家能有一番新作為。無論格局大小都好，重要的是：冬日終將過去，新生活操之在你我手中！這就是春天的啟示！
Finally, I implore you to do something new. Whether it be small or large, it is important to remember that our day-to-day lives need to be brought back to life after the hibernation of winter. That is what the spring time is for.
