她說，有一個曾經因案入獄的學生，用數學跟她開玩笑，一步一步精算著犯案這件事。她想用一句勸誡的話讓他打消念頭，學生一句話就把她問倒了。She says a student who had once been incarcerated joked with her using math, calculating out a crime step by step. She tried a word of caution to talk him out of it — and his reply left her without an answer.
這讓我們問自己一個問題：當我們準備好的道理，被對方一句話接住、又送回來的時候，我們願不願意承認，自己也還在學？That leaves us asking ourselves a question: when the point we came prepared with gets caught by the other person and handed straight back to us, are we willing to admit that we're still learning too?
你最難教的學生 Your hardest student
她說，那一刻讓她想起媽媽常說的一句話：「你最難教的學生，會成為你最好的老師。」She says that moment brought back something her mother used to say: "Your hardest student will become your best teacher."
這句話讓我們往前多想一步：一個人願不願意被最難搞的人教，可能比他能教會多少人更重要。That pushes us one step further: whether someone is willing to be taught by the hardest person in the room may matter more than how many people they can teach.
富有，不是犧牲換來的 Wealth, not the reward of sacrifice
她說，這幾年下來她才懂——她認為自己是一個富有的人，不一定有錢，但在教育工作裡得到的豐富，是錢買不到的。She says it took her years to understand this — she considers herself a rich person, not necessarily in money, but in a richness that education work gives her, one money can't buy.
她說的富有，讓我們想起——豐富不是犧牲換來的獎賞，是一起走過之後，自己也被改變留下的痕跡。這是我們自己加上去的一層，不是她講過的話。The richness she describes reminds us that fullness isn't a reward earned through sacrifice — it's the mark left on us after walking alongside someone, being changed ourselves along the way. That's a layer we've added ourselves, not something she said.
今天，可以想一個曾經讓你很難搞定的人——他教會了你什麼，你有沒有謝過他？Think today of someone who was hard to deal with — what did they teach you, and have you ever thanked them for it?

Quoted from Anting Liu's 2018 阿明@live interview, "A Rich Kind of Work."
「鐵磨鐵，磨出刃來；朋友相感，也是如此。」（箴言 27:17）
"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:17)
磨的那一方常常以為自己是刀刃，直到某一刻才發現，自己也是被磨的那一塊鐵。The one doing the sharpening often assumes they're the blade — until the moment they realize they're also the iron being sharpened.
