1.世界上最神奇的禮物 The most amazing gift in the world

你知道關於海倫·凱勒的啟蒙導師—安妮·蘇利文為什麼有辦法改變海倫‧凱勒的一生嗎?
又是什麼樣的人讓這位安妮·蘇利文從原本住在精神病院的女孩成為改變海倫‧凱勒的老師呢?
海倫‧凱勒曾說過:「世界上最好和最美的東西是看不到也摸不到的……它們只能被心靈感受到。」從小失去了聽覺和視覺,脾氣古怪暴躁的海倫‧凱勒,是受到安妮·蘇利文導師的啟蒙,從而改變人生。關於安妮·蘇利文導師,卻有一段不為人知的成長經歷。

【住在精神病院的女孩】 海倫‧凱勒的老師:安妮·蘇利文
有一間精神病院,在陰暗骯髒的地下室,關著一個被醫生宣告絕望的精神病人,名叫安妮。
但是有一位老護士卻認為上帝所造的每個生命都是有意義的,因此她常常帶著蛋糕和甜點去探訪小安妮,向小女孩表達愛與關懷。
不久,醫生發現小安妮逐漸在改變。一段時日後,這個被醫生認為絕望的病人居然康復了!但病癒後的小安妮不想離開醫院,她希望留在那裡幫助其他病人。
多年以後,當維多利亞女皇把英國最高的榮譽勳章別在海倫‧凱勒身上時,女皇問道:「你又聾又瞎,何以能有如此大的成就?」海倫‧凱勒毫不遲疑地說:「如果不是安妮,絕對沒有人會知道海倫‧凱勒這個名字。」
海倫‧凱勒的經典語錄:「面對光明,陰影就在我們身後。」
若沒有當初向小女孩表達愛與關懷的老護士,就沒有安妮·蘇利文老師;若是沒有安妮·蘇利文導師不放棄的一直在海倫‧凱勒身邊耐心的教導,就沒有如今廣為人知、成為後世典範的海倫‧凱勒。
達米爾族有句諺語:「唯有愛能使不可能變可能。」
愛是世界上最神奇的禮物。正如海倫‧凱勒的信念「把你的燈提高一點,好照亮更多人的路。」當你願意真誠而友善的付出一份愛心時,你會驚訝它所帶來巨大的效應。

Do you know why Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller's initiating mentor, had a way to change Helen Keller's life?
And what kind of person made this Anne Sullivan change from a girl who originally lived in a mental hospital to a teacher who changed Helen Keller?
Helen Keller once said, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched... They can only be felt by the mind." Helen Keller, who lost her hearing and vision from an early age, was inspired by Anne Sullivan's mentor. And it changes lives. About Mentor Anne Sullivan, there is an unknown experience of growing up.

Helen Keller's teacher: Anne Sullivan
In a dark and dirty basement, there was a psychiatric hospital where a mental patient named Anne, who had been declared desperate by the doctors, was locked up.
But there was an old nurse who believed that every life God made was meaningful, so she often visited Little Annie with cake and dessert to express her love and care for the little girl.
Soon, the doctor noticed that little Anne was gradually changing. After a while, this patient, who was considered desperate by the doctor, actually recovered! But after recovering from her illness, Little Anne did not want to leave the hospital, she wanted to stay there to help other patients.
Years later, when Empress Victoria pinned Britain's highest medal of honor on Helen Keller, the Empress asked, "How can you achieve so much, deaf and blind?" Helen Keller said without hesitation, "If it weren't for Anne, absolutely no one would have known the name, Helen Keller."
Helen Keller's classic quote:
"In the face of the light, the shadow is behind us."
Without the old nurse who expressed her love and care for the little girl, there would have been no Anne Sullivan teacher, and if there had been no Anne Sullivan mentor who would not give up and had been patiently teaching Helen Keller There was no Helen Keller, who is now widely known and became the model of later generations.
There is a Tamil proverb:
"Only love can make the impossible possible."
Love is the most amazing gift in the world. As Helen Keller believes, "Raise your lamp a little bit so you can light up the way for more people." When you are willing to give sincere and friendly love, you will be amazed at the huge effect it has.
