法語 12 — 故事四：《Highlight Queen》

本週法語如下：

「我們做事要「真」，做學問也要「真」，修福報也要 「真」，聽經聞法、静坐禪修都要認真，能夠把這些道理運用到日常生活，運用到修行，真正就是福慧雙修。」

「Be true in all our endeavors. In studying, cultivating merits, learning the Dharma, or Zen meditation, be honest and sincere. When we apply this principle in our daily life and Buddhist practice, we are truly cultivating merit and wisdom.」

✏️ 故事四：Highlight Queen（做學問要「真」）

Main Character: Olivia, 12, loves color-coding but not real studying.

🟦 Scene 1: Rainbow Notes

Olivia sat at her desk, surrounded by pastel highlighters. Her math book was glowing with color—yellow for formulas, pink for key words, purple for... well, it looked pretty.

She snapped a photo and posted:
📚 “Study mode: ON! 💖💛💜”
Then, she scrolled on her phone for the next 20 minutes.

🔍 Reflection Pause:
Have you ever done something that “looked” like studying but wasn’t very effective?

🟦 Scene 2: Test Day Panic

Her colorful notes didn’t help now. Her mind was blank.

By the third page, she felt like crying. “But I studied!” she whispered.
Had she really?

🔍 Reflection Pause:
Have you ever felt frustrated during a test—even though you “prepared”?
What’s the difference between preparing visually and preparing mentally?

🟦 Scene 3: The Honest Talk

After school, her friend Emma said,
“I didn’t see you at the review session. I thought you were studying?”

Olivia shrugged. “I was… sort of. I highlighted stuff.”
Emma raised an eyebrow. “Highlighting isn’t learning.”

That night, Olivia picked up a notebook—not to decorate, but to solve problems. She asked herself questions. She really read the chapter.

🔍 Reflection Pause:
What changed in Olivia’s mindset?
What’s one study habit you could improve starting this week?

This time, her grade came back: A−. Her smile wasn’t for Instagram. It was real.

🔍 Final Reflection:
What does it feel like to earn something through true effort?
Do you care more about looking smart or getting smarter?
