「低頭的是稻穗，昂頭的是稗子」。當稻穗學會低頭時，就成熟了~

　　謙虛時，你能看見別人的好；感恩時，你會明白自己什麼都沒有；當謙虛和感恩結合成一種智慧時，你就會懂得彎腰，而且知道要多學習。記住，在你彎腰且明白自己什麼都沒有時，你已有更多的空間得到更多，所以學會並懂得彎腰時，你已勝過別人，在起跑點上完全贏了。

It grew in the black mud.
It grew under the tiger's orange paws.
Its stems thinner than candles, and as straight.
Its leaves like the feathers of egrets, but green.
The grains cresting, wanting to burst.
Oh, blood of the tiger.

I don't want you just to sit down at the table.
I don't want you just to eat, and be content.
I want you to walk out into the fields
where the water is shining, and the rice has risen.
I want you to stand there, far from the white tablecloth.
I want you to fill your hands with the mud, like a blessing.

RICE ~ by Mary Oliver
