Light Seeker | 找到你的光

「有一段時間，我仔細記錄下與每個人分離的場景。對別人來說，也許冗長又無趣，也許我是唯一覺得這試衣間很美的事的人。寫下來除了練習告別，還要提醒自己從來都是得到許多的人。沒有一次離開應該代表失去。希望他們在任何角落都過得好。」

－《路過這個世界教我的事》，黃于洋。

不再捨人做事，而是捨事做人

起初的愛若被離棄，生命的燈光便不再明亮。

這段日子裡，我摸索出了一種新的寫作方式。當思緒如同擱淺的船隻停滯不前時，我索性躺下，用語音輸入文字。躺著思考，不是偷懶，而是重新調整自己，以更輕鬆的心態看待寫作。現代科技的便利，讓表達思想不再侷限於筆紙，反而可以用多角度、多方式傳遞訊息。這些工具，是恩典，也是智慧的祝福。

回顧今天，我深感成長。三個突破為我點亮新的方向。

第一個突破是學會分辨輕重緩急。在申請資料的截止日前三小時，我才真正動筆開始彙整。然而，在這之前，我已利用零散的時間完成了目錄和綱要的規劃，搭建起了整體架構，同時整理了資料的來源與存放位置，避免在電腦前盲目尋找浪費時間。這種條理分明的準備方式，讓後續的行動更有章法。

第二個突破是抓住重點的能力。申請資料的書面審查無非是陳述事實，附上數據。然而，書面資料只是基石，真正重要的是未來的口試。這次，我不再一味追求書面資料的完美，而是將更多心力放在思考如何在口試中有效表達。我深知，口試不是簡單的數據羅列，而是心與心的交流，是故事與價值的傳遞。

第三個突破是善用技術工具的智慧。GPT是這個時代的產物，能幫助我們梳理思緒，建構邏輯。然而我也深刻體會到，技術再強大，終究只是輔助。若人與技術之間表裡不一，便容易在真實的交流中陷入困境。因此，我選擇放棄過往那些過度裝飾的書面呈現，不再耗費心力於排版與附圖，而是用最簡單的方式完成申請資料，將焦點轉向人與人之間的真實連結。

這些轉變，帶給我一個重要的啟示： 不再捨人做事，而是捨事做人。 我不再為了追求所謂的「完美」而焦慮，而是坦然接受有缺陷的自己，承認自己的有限。神量給我的一切，都是剛剛好。我願順服祂的美意，讓每一天都成為光陰被贖回的見證。

正如帖撒羅尼迦後書3:5所說：
「願主修直你們心中的途徑，引導你們的心，進入神的愛，以愛神，並進入基督的忍耐。」

是祂的愛，為我開拓前行的道路；是祂的忍耐，教我學會以更大的信心面對不完美的自己與世界。

No longer sacrificing people for tasks, but sacrificing tasks for people.
When the first love is forsaken, the light of life dims.

Recently, I’ve discovered a new way of writing. When my thoughts feel stuck like a grounded ship, I simply lie down and use voice input to record my ideas. Thinking while lying down isn’t laziness; it’s a way to reset and approach writing with a lighter heart. Modern technology liberates expression, transcending pen and paper, and opens up new dimensions for communication. These tools are a grace—a blessing of wisdom.

Looking back on today, I feel a deep sense of growth. Three breakthroughs have illuminated a new direction for me:

1. Prioritizing Effectively

Three hours before a submission deadline, I began consolidating materials. However, I had already used scattered moments to outline the structure, organize data, and arrange files. This preparation spared me from the chaos of aimlessly searching for resources, allowing my work to proceed systematically.

2. Focusing on What Truly Matters

While the application materials involved presenting facts and data, I realized they were just a foundation. The oral presentation was the real key. Rather than perfecting the written portion, I directed my energy toward effective communication during the interview. Oral presentations aren’t about listing data; they are about connecting heart-to-heart, sharing stories, and conveying values.

3. Using Tools Wisely

GPT, a product of this era, aids in organizing thoughts and constructing logic. Yet, technology is only a tool. Misaligned intentions can lead to shallow interactions. I chose simplicity over perfection, completing my application without wasting energy on formatting and focusing instead on authentic human connections.

A New Revelation

These breakthroughs revealed a powerful truth:
No longer sacrificing people for tasks, but sacrificing tasks for people.

I no longer feel burdened by chasing “perfection.” Instead, I embrace my flawed self, acknowledging that everything God has measured out to me is just right. Submitting to His will, I strive to make each day a testimony of time redeemed.

As 2 Thessalonians 3:5 says:
“May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the endurance of Christ."

It is His love that opens the path ahead, and His endurance that teaches me to face imperfection with faith and grace.
