Keiko the Whale
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.Mother Teresa
If you have kids, you’ve probably seen the movie Free Willy about a boy who saves a young orca from the clutches of an unscrupulous owner.But in real life Free Willy was far from free.The orca, whose real name was Keiko, was captured in the Atlantic Ocean, near Iceland, and lived in captivity after the filming of the movie in a small cement pool at an amusement park in Mexico City.The conditions of the park were poorly suited to an animal of this size, and Keiko developed a skin disease that resulted in lesions throughout his body.Here was literally the biggest movie star in the world, sick and languishing.If something wasn’t done quickly, Keiko’s future looked grim.Fortunately, word of Keiko’s situation was spreading rapidly around the world.Many people wanted to help, and so did I.I had been introduced to Keiko through the Mexican tourism authority at keiko’s residence at the Reino Auentura Park in Mexico City.The minute I leaned over the holding tank and saw the five-ton animal, I knew I had to do something …quick.His flippers and flukes were covered with skin growths, and he was thousands of pounds underweight.It sounds kind of strange, but Keiko and I bonded.As I scratched him I said that I would return and do everything I could to make sure he was returned to
his native waters off Iceland.In exchange for his release, I agreed to paint a giant public mural of Keiko swimming free with his family at the entrance to the park.A few months after the mural was completed, Keiko was moved to a larger, temporary home at the Oregon Coast Aquarium to recuperate and prepare for his return to Iceland.Eventually, he gained weight and learned how to catch live fish.He was ready to be flown back to the cool waters of his northern home.Millions of children who had raised nickels and dimes to save Keiko were now keeping their fingers crossed, hoping that Keiko would soon be reunited with his orca family in the wild.The transition took some time.Keiko continued to undergo rehabilitation in a special baypen near Iceland’s Westman Islands and eventually began to take more interest in his natural environment.For the first two years, he seemed content to travel back and forth between his pen and the wild ocean, not quite certain about what to do with the strange underwater wilderness to which he had been returned.There was certain about what to do with the strange underwater wilderness to which he had been returned.There was certainly nothing human about it, and for most of his life, that was all he had known.Then, during a training rendezvous with a small pod of orcas at the southernmost tip of the Westmans, Keiko bolted toward open sea.This time, however, he didn’t turn back.A satellite transmitter indicated later that he was headed for
Norway and soon had taken up an active, healthy residence in Taknes Bay.Suddenly, for the first time since his capture more than twenty-two years ago, Keiko was not in a captive facility or a netted pen.His decisions were now guided by instinct and his innate orca intelligence——an intelligence that we have yet to fully comprehend.No one can say for certain what the future holds for this special whale whose journey has taken him so far.But I, like millions of others, am hoping that after all these years of captivity, he can adapt and thrive in the wild and become truly free——not in the way of some Hollywood script——but as nature intended from the very beginning.Wyland

Picasso of the Sea
Many years ago I was visiting my friends at the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys.The director, Mandy Rodriguez, asked if I would like to paint with some of the dolphins.I, of course, wondered how this was going to work and made my way back to a lagoon where, to my surprise, a small group of bottlenose dolphins greeted me with excitement.As I sat on the edge of the dock and readied a set of water-based acrylic paints, the dolphins became more excited.I, too, was intrigued about collaborating with these highly intelligent mammals.If any animal on Earth besides humans could create a work of art, it would most certainly be dolphins.I passed a paintbrush to a dolphin named Kibby, who took the handle in her mouth.Next, I held up a canvas, and she immediately began to paint with a Picasso flair, laying down each stroke with a twist of her head and, finally, a 360-degree spin.When she was done, she passed the brush back to me and watched as I painted my part.Two very diverse marine artists, Kibby, the dolphin, and I, the human, shared a single canvas.But we discovered that we also shared something else——the sprirt of joy.Together, we had created something uniquely beautiful, a one-of-a-kind collaboration between artists of two different worlds.I told my friends on the dock later that it was just the salt that
made my eyes water.But they knew how I felt about making such a wonderful connection with one of these beautiful creatures.When the painting was finished, Kibby smiled a big dolphin grin.She nodded her head in approval of the completed work, then lifted her flukes above the surface and dived.A few seconds later she brought me the highest honor a dolphin can give, a gift from the sea——a rock!
Wyland
第三篇:心靈雞湯-英文1
Remember we are amazing
For a long time, I’ve been thinking a question: Why do I make myself sink into such a busy condition? This question keeps haunting me every day when I run to attend classes outside school after finishing courses at university, come back late in the evening and work on the computer till 2 am.There is no date, no weekend and no entertainment, my life is filled with courses and missions.I complained a lot and always regretted, the word which I said most is “How good it would be if I didn’t do that!”
Last week I met a new foreign teacher at Web where I get training on oral English.He is a vigorous Scottish who likes jumping and dancing when he is on teaching.He told us he had been to more than 20 countries and done various jobs in different areas.I was totally attracted by his experiences, so I had a chat with him after the class.“I like your life-style and hope to lead a life just like you do, but I don’t know what to do.”“What do you do, darling?”
“I’m a postgraduate major in colorectal surgery.”
“That’s cool!I’m a doctor too, I’ve gotten a Ph.D.I was a psychologist in Scotland.”
“Oh, that’s a good job!But you have chosen another way of life.You’ve travelled around the world and you’re leading a wonderful life.”
“Yeah, I’m enjoying.Now I’m a teacher.I teach science, maths, psychology and football all week in Singapore International School, and I teach English at Web here on Sunday and at the Pudong center several evenings a week.”
I was surprised by his full schedule.After a short silence, I asked him the question which troubled me a lot, “Why do you have to be so busy? Don’t you feel tired? I’m busy and I’m annoyed.”
“Ah, I didn’t tell you but I got cancer last year and 90% of my colon was removed in Fudan cancer center.I just want to do as more as I can to enrich myself.I love whatever I am doing right now because I’m still alive.”
Again I was surprised.He is so different from the patients who got cancer.“That’s unbelievable!I mean you are really tough.How could you keep such a passionate state every day? I hate being so busy, but you are enjoying it!”
Charlie smiled at me, “You are busy because you need to be busy.‘Need’ means you have a purpose and want to get something.Don’t be afraid.We can tough it out.”
Then he held my shoulder tightly.It seemed that he wanted to convey some power to me.“Remember we are amazing.We are able to deal with many things that are beyond our imagination!So keep busy, darling.You are amazing!”

第五篇:給老師的心靈雞湯
《給老師的心靈雞湯》讀后感
青島李村小學張瑞春
心靈跟身體一樣需要雞湯的滋養。特別是當你心理有壓力,感覺生活沒目標,工作沒激情的時候。
顯然,這本書有三個目的:一是緩解教師的心理壓力,幫助教師從日常繁瑣和繁忙的教學生活中,用溫情和激情發現教育的意義,認識到教書育人是光榮和神圣的職業。作為一名教師,只有熱愛現實生活和自己的職業,全身心地投入到教書育人的事業中去,才能享受工作的樂趣,體驗人生的價值。《送給老師的心靈雞湯》這本書,隨手翻一翻,細心讀一讀就能感覺到這薄薄的扉頁里透著一股讓人淡定的力量。這種感覺,恰似一位疲憊的行者遇到了好心人送上的一碗貼心的雞湯;二是啟發教師的生活智慧,都知道教師是個責任極大的職業,并且教師日常的工作非常多,可是每一位教師也不過是一個普普通通的人而已。試想,我們連自己的生活都一團糟,何來“教學的快樂”,又何來“工作中的滿足”呢?而這本書里短小精悍的故事啟迪著我們要在生活中獲得滿足和快樂,并且告訴了我們許多提高生命質量的技巧;三是啟迪教師的教學智慧,這本書里,給我印象極其深刻的一篇是美國人保羅斯蒂文佛的《零分之約》,這篇文章講述了一個老師是如何通過鼓勵和激勵的辦法,讓一個幾乎被老師放棄的“問題少年”成長為出色學生的故事,并且這位老師運用的技巧非常睿智,值得學習。
書中精選的七十余篇美文。它們呈現給我的,不僅僅是成功的教育理念和高超的教學智慧,更多的是對生活的感悟和對人性的理解。它們讓我們對生活、對學生、對教師這份神圣的工作充滿愛意,從而實現心靈上的成長。教師與學生是一對互相依賴的生命,是一對共同成長的伙伴。教師每一天在神圣與平凡間行走,為未來和現在工作。教師首先是一個人,他有自己的喜怒哀樂,有自己的油鹽醬醋,他必須做好一個人,一個能夠影響學生健康發展的人,一個永遠讓學生記住并學習的人。
豐富自己的內心世界,適時用智慧和內心的力量調試自己的心理,給自己減壓。做老師的心情常常是壓抑的,但我們應該努力營造快樂的環境,讓學生快樂。我們也得找到讓自己快樂的窗口。只有真正快樂了,才不會留下太多的遺憾,只有真正快樂了,才無愧于自己的職業。
