Grasp Your Opportunity!__Sean Coghlan, S.J.
“In the morning I often stand in the archway near the telephone room, watching the students on the last stage of their journey to school. There is a striking difference in how the students walk and hold themselves. Many, very many in fact, look brisk and cheerful… A few, however, look dull, sad and preoccupied… It saddens me to think that some Wah Yan students may have nothing to look forward to during a day at school…”
Be you a wahyanite, a teacher or a parent, you’ll feel good reading this passage by Father Coghlan when he was the Principal in Wah Yan College, Hong Kong. (A. Ho)

觀遊魚 白居易 (772-846)
繞池閒步看魚遊，
正值兒童弄釣舟。
一種愛魚心各異，
我來施食爾垂鉤。
Looking at Fishes Po Chu-I (772-846) tr by Father John Turner, S.J.
As all around the pool I went,
Watching the fishes glide:
In fishing-boat on fishing bent
My little ones I spied.
The love of fish did each one lead
As each one’s fancy took him.
For I came out my fish to feed:
And you came out to hook him.
