在台灣，退休人口正急速地增加，而且退休年齡也在降低中，這些人大都以從事各種活動來充實他們的退休生活。建國中學英文教師蔡益助先生退休後，便積極投入繪畫工作，雖然從小就夢想要當畫家，但一直苦無時間逐夢，為了圓夢，毅然決然提早退休，十三年來不斷到處作畫，早期的作品以速寫和水彩居多，近年來則熱衷於油畫創作。任何一個人，尤其是退休族，只要對繪畫感興趣，不管有沒有深厚的基礎，都可以像蔡老師一樣拿起筆來畫，從繪畫中來逐夢，逐夢就是快樂的泉源，逐夢就是圓夢。
In Taiwan, population of retired people is rapidly increasing. The retirement age is coming down. Most of these people are engaged in various activities to enrich their retirement life. After Jianguo High School's English teacher, Mr Yi-jhu Tsai, retired, he devoted himself to painting. Although he would like to become a painter since he was a child, he did not have spare time to pursue his dream. To fulfill his dream, he decided to retire earlier. For thirteen years, he has continuously painted whatever he travels. In his earlier works, he focused on sketches and watercolour paintings. In recent years, he has devoted himself to oil paintings. As long as people, especially after retirement, are interested in painting, no matter having a good skillful foundation or not, they, just like Mr Tsai, can certainly take their pen or brush to make paintings. Pursuing dreams from paintings is the source of happiness. Perusing dreams is the step to fulfilling dreams.
