种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。You reap what you sow.

 

种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆， You reap what you sow.

 

命运和缘分是很奇怪很有意思的事情。

 

我两年前加入文学城目的之一是恢复和提高自己的中文水平。但从去年2月18日到目前为止，我在文城美坛（MYSJ）发了116个 英文 ”APAD“（每日一语）帖子，比我在文城所有博文和在其它坛子所有帖子加起来的总和还要多。

 

把我在今年2月18日写的（受邀）加入”APAD“ 活动一周年帖子转过来，留个纪念。

 

===================================================

 

APAD： You reap what you sow

The phrase "you reap what you sow" originates from the Bible, specifically from Galatians 6:7, where it says "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.". This essentially means that the actions and choices you make in life will ultimately have corresponding consequences, good or bad, reflecting the idea of "sowing" seeds and then "reaping" the harvest.

I joined APAD hosting on February 18th 2024, exactly one year ago today.

To me, APAD is never just about language. It's about knowledge of life, about exchanging thoughts and learning from each other, having fun together and building friendship.

I was welcomed with open arms and felt a bit pressure first , as to whom much is given much is required. 

But what is worth doing at all is worth doing well, so I jumped in and put my heart and soul into it. For the next 365 days, proverbs come and go, people come an go, I've been here every single day posting/commenting/upvoting!

After being with WXC for two years and have posted and/or commented in other forums (笑坛，投坛，房坛，画坛，诗坛，星坛，几坛，唱坛，健坛，家坛，风坛), I do feel MYSJ is my home forum: a safe port in a storm; a clean peaceful castle filled with well-mannered and self-disciplined people, the wonderful smells of books (bibliosmia) and coffee, the footprints of "God", the Bard of Avon and some other wise writers and poets, and even Wilbur the smart piglet. 

So today is the day I want to say Thank You to my fellow hosts 移花 and 7G, and to all kind souls who have helped and participated in APAD.

Slow and steady, I reap what I sow, and together We reap what we sow (I was told that APAD is going to be two years old soon) ... ...

Way to go!
