Zoom classroom
呢排多左好多新學生係安排zoom上堂。噚日聽teacher John 同倆兄妹上堂。兩個年紀相差比較遠，但兩個都非常聰明。妹妹3歲已經可以唱一首簡單而又完整嘅英文歌。而哥哥11歲亦令我好impressed 嘅係佢同teacher John 去探討auctioneer 嘅工作性質，同一個有名又年輕嘅auctioneer. 呢個行業對香港人嚟講可能會有啲陌生，但指導一個小朋友去認識一個行業，同時學習英文同一啲新詞匯，teacher John 真係好有心得。

.....So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
