以盼望反制霸凌 歌聲感動人心(兩周破2600萬人次點閱)

清晨新語電子報 20140528

如果苦難與不平已經發生躲不掉,我們唯一可以做的是:選擇如何面對它!

分享一則英國達人秀 又一感人的參賽者和作品
:
Bars & Melody英國達人秀  daily motion 中文字幕視頻
看看一個13歲大的孩子,如何面對發生在他身上的苦難!
帶給我們力量與省思!
我從兩周前看到原始youtube版,昨天看到有中文字幕的版本,還有今天找到他們上Ellen Show的演出,
一路看了好多次,每次都流淚
這兩位十幾歲小男孩組合rap出遭霸凌的親身經歷,讓英國達人秀全場觀眾起立鼓掌感動落淚。
他們重新詮釋了經典電影《卡特教頭》(Coach Carter)主題曲:

Twista Feat. Faith Evans - Hope(希望)
將其中rap的部分改編成自己遭受霸凌的親身經歷,最後贏得裁判按下Golden Ticket,將他們送進準決賽。

「我從小被許多人霸凌過,在我七歲時就已經就讀過1213所學校,」Leondre坦承,「我遭受過許多肢體上的霸凌,而隨著臉書流行起來,我也開始受到網路霸凌。」「那是一段令人難以想像的過去,但『殺不死你的使你更強悍』。
這首歌所要傳達的訊息就是要人昂首闊步、樂觀進取。」

接受英國《太陽報》(The Sun)訪問時,Leondre曾經霸凌他的人已向他發簡訊致歉,而他也選擇原諒
他解釋說:「在以前就讀的學校霸凌我的人已傳私訊給我說『Leondre我為你到驕傲,對不起』。 我選擇原諒他們,因為你不知道他們在家中曾經經歷過什麼。

歌詞描述"盼望"是我們面對充滿苦難與問題的世界最大的力量。
一句 Be hopeful and He'll make a way,道出上帝會為所有仰望祂的人開道路!

分享原版歌曲Hope中的最後一小段以及和聲的歌詞
(和聲也用在這次Bars & Melody的參賽歌曲中)

With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains,
有了芥菜種子的信心,你就可以移山
And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt,             

只有天父上帝可以撫平傷痛
Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church!! 

讓它過去吧! 到教會屈膝禱告
And let's HOPE                                                                

讓我們保持盼望!
I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,                          

我有盼望,你也是,對今天保持盼望
Take this music and use it                                               

帶著這首歌聆聽           
Let it take you away,                                                        

讓它帶你脫離困境                       
And be hopeful (hopeful) and He'll make a way              

帶著盼望,祂會開道路               
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.                                  

我知道這並不容易,但是沒關係
Cause we hopeful                                                            

因為我們有盼望!

【上帝小叮嚀】
路加 23:34當下耶穌說:父阿!赦免他們;因為他們所做的,他們不曉得。


附錄 : Hope (lyrics) - Twista ft. Faith Evans 完整歌詞


I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks,
Knowing the cops is hot when I'm on the block, And I
Wish my brother woulda made bail,
So I won't have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I
Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick,
Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick, And I (I wish)
Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer,
When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother, And I
Wish I could go deep in a zone,
And lift the spirits of the world with the words with in this song, And I (I wish)
Wish I could teach a soul to fly,
Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them hi, And I
Wish my hommie Butch was still alive
And on the day of his death we had never took that ride, And I (I wish)
Wish God could protect us from the wrong
So that all the solders that were sent over seas come home
We will never break, though they devastate, we shall motivate,
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith.
Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day,
The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain't gotta cry today.
Sit at the light so long,
And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong,
So when right go wrong,
Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life go on!!!
Let's HOPE!

[Chorus (Faith Evans)]
I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,   
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and He'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Cause we hopeful

[Verse 2 (Twista)]
I wish that you could show some love,
Instead of hatin so much when you see some other people commin up (I wish)
I wish I could teach the world to sing,
Watch the music and have 'em trippin of the joy I bring, (shiit)
I wish that we could hold hands,
Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I (I wish)
Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that's on dubs, And I
Wish we could keep achieving wonders,
See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, (you feel me) (I wish)
And I hope all the kids eat,
And don't nobody in my family see six feet, (ya dig)
I hope them mothers stain' strong,
You can make it whether you wit him or your mans gone, And I (I wish)
Wish I could give every celly some commissary,
And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did R. Kelly, And I
Wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, (shit) (I wish)
Then one day they could speak again,
I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN,
I wish that we could never get the blues,
Wish I could bring back the people that died, Eddy too
I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin the right thing
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game,
Let's HOPE

[Chorus (Faith Evans)]
I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and He'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Cause we hopeful

[Verse 3 (Twista)]
Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic,
I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give it,
We can make it always so optimistic,
If you don't listen gotta live my life the best way I can live it,
I pray for justice when we go to court,
Wish it was all good so the country never even went to war
Why can't we kick it and just get em on,
And in the famous words of Mr. King "Why can't we all just get along",
Or we can find a better way to shop and please, And I
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, And I
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze,
And ask way are we fulfillin these downfalls and prophecies,
You can be wrong if it's you doubting,
With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains,
And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt,
Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church!!
And let's HOPE

[Chorus (Faith Evans) X2]
I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away,
And be hopeful (hopeful) and He'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but that's okay.
Cause we hopeful

【鞋匠的兒子】讀後

清晨新語2014.05.16 【鞋匠的兒子】讀後

分享一篇好文: 鞋匠的兒子
人先自重而後重之!
自我形象良好就無畏他人的批評或人身攻擊
甚至可以 運用到面對反對問題的技巧: 所謂的"吸納同意轉換"
(其實是態度決定出如何應答)

吸納: 等到大家的笑聲歇止,坦然地說: 我非常感激你使我想起我的父親
同意: 我一定會永遠記住你的忠告,我永遠是鞋匠的兒子
轉換: 我知道我做總統永遠無法像我父親做鞋匠做得那麼好....         

          有一件事是可以確定的,我無法像他那麼偉大,他的手藝是無人能比。
 

自信誠懇+溝通技巧=吸納反對 成功溝通
 
【鞋匠的兒子】

在林肯當選總統時,整個參議院的議員都感到尷尬,因為林肯的父親是個鞋匠。

當時美國的參議員大部分出身望族,自認為是上流、優越的人,從未料到要面對總統是一個卑微的鞋匠的兒子。 


於是,林肯一次在參議院演說之前,就有參議員計劃要羞辱他。

在林肯站在演講台的時候,有一位態度傲慢的參議員站起來說:「林肯先生,在你開始演講之前,我希望你記住,你是一個鞋匠的兒子。」

所有議員都大笑了起來,為自己雖然不能打敗林肯而能羞辱他開懷不已。

林肯等到大家的笑聲歇止,坦然地說:「我非常感激你使我想起我的父親,他已經過世了,我一定會永遠記住你的忠告,我永遠是鞋匠的兒子,我知道我做總統永遠無法像我父親做鞋匠做得那麼好。」

參議院陷入一片靜默,林肯轉頭對那個傲慢的參議員說:「就我所知,我父親以前也為你的家人做鞋子,如果你的鞋不合腳,我可以幫你改正它,雖然我不是偉大的鞋匠,但是我從小就跟隨父親學到了做鞋子的藝術。」

然後他對所有的參議員說:「對參議院裡的任何人都一樣,如果你們穿的那雙鞋是我父親做的,而它們需要修理或改善,我一定盡可能幫忙,但是有一件事是可以確定的,我無法像他那麼偉大,他的手藝是無人能比。」說到這裡,林肯流下了眼淚,所有的嘲笑聲全部化為讚歎的掌聲

林肯沒有成為偉大的鞋匠,但成為偉大的總統,他最偉大的品質,正是他永遠不忘記自己是鞋匠的兒子,並引以為榮。

******
世上雖有賢愚、貧富、黑白之分,但在上帝心目中只有二種人:一種是崇拜權勢、財富及和上帝作對,另一種是樂意日日給上帝使用,成為榮耀尊貴的器血。 上帝揀選世上愚拙的,使智慧的人慚愧。揀選了世上卑賤的,被人厭惡的,得著榮耀!一切有血氣的,在上帝面前不能自誇(哥林多前書1:27

威廉克理 (William Carey) 禱告說:「主啊!我將我的軟弱奉獻給你,願你顯出你的榮耀來。」神使他成為著名印度宣教師,在他的墓碑是他事先擬好,寫著:「這裡躺著一個卑微,一無所有者,他將自己的一切交託神。」

求主幫助我們,認識我們的軟弱,讓祂的能力充滿我們。
