One day when I was in class at the gym, the coach who took the group class on the stage was very enthusiastic and shared the words - "Before you become someone else's harbor, you must first become your own." some.

It should not be an exaggeration to say that "My Volunteer" is a frequent subject in elementary and junior high school composition classes. There is such a question almost every once in a while, and as a result, different "New Volunteers" are born every year.

In the annual report book, the blank space at the bottom right is for students to fill in the fields for which occupation they want to pursue in the future. There are three fields in total; ”, “Lawyer”, look at which Hong Kong drama was being broadcast on TV at that time.

Most of the imagination of the word "professional" when I was a child came from this (movies and dramas), but it may also be limited by this , as if I subconsciously felt that when I grew up, only by engaging in the type of occupation "they" were engaged in would it meet the expectations of society (?).

It's not hard to imagine that when the show returns to reality after the end of the play, it is impossible for people to become doctors, pilots or lawyers just by virtue of their love for the "stars" on the small screen. Take me as an example (hello~). I still remember the year when I was about to graduate from university, although I was still thinking about the possibility of becoming a "pilot" (ha), but maybe I didn't have enough love and timidity about the reality, so I still stayed in the "thinking" stage.

I did not become one of the many volunteers filled in at that time, but with the so-called "meeting social expectations", in the process of studying, I still moved towards the occupation of the "teacher" generation (this is not intended to be praised or criticized).


What is the relationship between "volunteering" and "dream"? Are both the same? Can "My Volunteer" be rewritten as "My Dream"? Curiously asked Google God - "difference between dreams and aspirations" , but there are not many answers.

However, I feel that the two are fundamentally different. If I wanted to change the wording of the former, based on the scattered words in my past impressions, it would be - "What I want to try to do, it has nothing to do with failure or success" Bar.

At this stage, one of the things that I want to try in the future is not specifically defined as a "dream", but I believe it is something I want to try, a small store like a "safe haven" .


A "safe haven"-like store, the form is not yet determined,

A small complex store with "coffee and books" as the main axis? (Hey, will it not be innovative enough),

Hmm...that's a small workshop that allows visitors to participate in the making of cakes (sweet)? (I really like this deliciousness),

Or a small restaurant where we make dumplings together? (Tip from an interview on a TV show);

The above are all within the scope of consideration, but the "safe haven" business idea is the general direction.

Therefore, the interior layout of the store, comfort and "reassurance" are the basic models.

The size of the space is moderate, and the distance between people is appropriate, so that people can be alone without being disturbed, and they can also communicate and talk freely;

"Safe haven", "Revision of the Ministry of Education's Re-edited Mandarin Dictionary" says - "a harbor where ships can escape from strong winds",

It is hoped that this store can also become a "harbour" for visitors , temporarily blocking the disturbances they face outside; although it is short-lived, it may be surrounded by the aroma of coffee, while reading a book, or making bread, pastries and dumplings. In the midst of this, there may be a chance to harvest the "power" to restart the voyage.

One day in the gym, the coach who led the group class on the stage was very enthusiastic, and he shared the words - "Before you become someone else's harbor, you must first become your own." Hearing this, it seemed that people would dance more vigorously. some.


Share a few "safe havens" in life;

  • A friend's house ; a place that cannot be described in detail. In the past, as long as I came here, I felt that my "heart" was settled. It must be a relationship with friends.

  • Eslite Bookstore (the one in the basement at the corner in downtown Hsinchu); when I was in college, as long as I encountered any "troubles", I would look for the answers in the books displayed here. After reading a certain content related to it (anxiety), I still remember the experience of "suddenly enlightened".

    Note: Since the photo of the Eslite store in Hsinchu was not specially kept at that time, it was only kept in my heart, so I used Dunnan Eslite Store as a sign.

  • It's good food ; there is no doubt that a good meal is always a priority, no matter the time is "good or bad."
