盼望，或者可以解釋成希望，又或者，一種期待？深刻形容的話，就如萌發在心田的新芽，抽長，然後構築的成果。每個人心中都有一分渴盼，心志堅定的人，可以為之生、為之死；而意力不定者，總以一事無成收場。這分盼望，原來可能只是心中微小的角落，可能巨大的令人望而生畏，亦可能渺小的好比一個改變。但無論大小，深埋在每個人心中的盼望都是一個契機，一個創造偉大的機會，進而影響我們的選擇和道路。
子日：「吾十五而志於學，三十而立，四十而不惑，五十而知天命，六十而耳順，七十而隨心所欲，不踰矩。」我認為，孔子所說的「志於學」就是一種正面而積極的盼望。或許有人認為，十五歲就立志向學不是很簡單嗎？我十五歲時也在努力讀書啊！但孔子的志於學顯然和現代許多學子「為考試而讀書」的觀念大不相同。這位偉大的至聖先師透露著堅毅，十五歲尚略顯單薄的身軀昂然挺立；那種立志要成為學者，一位儒士，縱使被世間遺棄也要不屈不撓地奮鬥的精神，豈是現代那些「未開化」的小孩所及得上的。正因為這深埋的渴盼，讓孔子成為一代大儒，更是至聖先師。然而，卻也讓他踏上了列國的路，終其一生高歌：「我待賈者矣！我待賈者矣！」明珠一生沒有被識貨的人挖掘，卻在後世散出熒亮的光輝，真是不知可喜還是可悲。知名音樂人黃韻玲，曾參與民歌「夢田」的製作，這首「名歌」唱道：「每個人心裡都有一畝田，每個人心底都有一個夢。」正是盼望的種子，在我們的夢田萌芽，帶領我們走過艱困，航向希望的明天。
十七世紀，法國巴黎的街頭，一個穿著破舊，全身散出臭味兒的男孩正張開鼻翼，大肆吸取周圍的一切。「香水」被翻成多國語言，之前還拍成電影的名著，正是描寫這男孩

的故事。男孩畢生最大的夢想，便是調出世上無人能及的香味。他企求著複雜多變的華麗，耽溺於詭譎層疊的芬芳，而這絕世的理想竟成就於少女的體香，於是他犯下一件件的謀殺。這男孩怎麼知道這是錯誤的呢？他的盼望太過強烈而專一，道德只不過是路上的一粒絆腳石，而他不容許阻礙。這也是盼望，卻形成峰利的刃，割傷了許多人。
所以盼望，即使能成就偉大，也可能是把雙面刃。縱然大部分人的盼望是成就自己，但在過程中，還是要留下細膩的觀照，關心自己的同時，也須關懷他人。一位父親，他可能是成功的企業家，擁有龐大的事業，每日早出晚歸。或許他最初的盼望，也只是給妻兒一個不愁吃穿的環境，卻因如此搞得妻離子散、家庭破裂，這不是得不償失嗎？而且也失去了最初的意義。
我覺得，每個人都有追逐夢想和盼望的自由，然而，在發揚盼望的同時，也不要忘了許多重要的事；好比仁、好比善惡，好比對周遭的關懷。我們心中都有一塊夢土，讓種子茁壯，不是只要澆水，還關係到施肥、土壤、除蟲……等等，而且，更重要的是，當初種下種子的，盼望。散出溫暖的光芒，這由小小心願揉合的盼望啊！讓我們期待它可以照亮你我，甚至世界的道路。

Topic: <The Value I Learn from My Family>

The
value I learned from my family is to utilize my time with
wisdom. “Don’t waste your time.” “Maximize the efficiency of
every single minute.” These lines of talk are often heard in my
home whenever I am doing homework or preparing for tests. My dad
likes to work fast and effectively. That is one of his apparent
lifestyles. And, of course, I wish I could be just like him.
About four years ago, when I was working on an important
science-fair project, I found out that I had to work smart to
deal with both my science project and schoolwork at the same
time. I had to think up different ways to save time. And I often
rewrote my study plan in order to strike a balance between
schoolwork and the science-fair project. During that time, I did
a great job in managing my time under my dad’s guidance.
However, things changed when I became a junior high school
student. Dad gave me less advice. I tripped several times, like
making no progress in learning math, or even failing the exams.
Things got worse when later I was assigned to develop a science
game for the lower graders of my school. I was totally exhausted
in the following two to three months since there were too much
work to do, besides the regular quizzes and mid-term exams.
Then
I made up my mind to do my best. I started to make plans and
executed in an effective way, which I learned from Dad. Every
night I would take a piece of paper, think of every assignment
that was not yet completed, and wrote them down as the main
to-do list. In addition, I would take a smaller piece of paper,
and wrote down the things I would do the next day in a
well-considered order. (“Priority is very important,” my dad
often says.) Then, when I got up the next morning, I would do my
works one by one following the plan I made. After a few weeks,
this method was proved to be extremely useful, as I got a big
success on my game-designing project, and did pretty well on my
exams. During that particular time, I realized the importance of
using time wisely.
When
I became a ninth grader, making plans was becoming absolutely
necessary since I faced the high school entrance test in May.
Quizzes were given in almost every class. Even though I didn’t
attend cram school after a tiring day, there were only about
three and a half hours left for study during each night.
Therefore, I made the long-term plans, which were lists of the
main subjects and the chapters I had to review, and also the
short-term plans for preparing for quizzes. And, of course I
still studied very hard both day and night. In those months, I
enjoyed doing two things: crossing out the items on my plan list
back and forth violently with red pens while finishing the items
and sprawling on my bed with nothing on my mind while sleeping.
It
turned out that I did a pretty great job on the high school
entrance test, and I chose to enter my dream school: NEHS.
“Maximize the efficiency of every single minute.” I found the
advice very useful in many events, and I took it to heart by
making plans. Well, time flies. Now I am a senior high school
student. Numerous challenges and unpredictable events are
waiting for me, but I won’t be frightened or panic; instead, I
will use my ultimate weapon, the ability of time management, to
fearlessly face every challenge. And I think I would remember
this as my most precious and useful value at the back of my mind
forever!
