生活·愛

看完葉子寫的關於五月天的專輯的部落格，心中有那股衝動，想要買這張專輯。
但，很可惜的，英國沒有賣。至少在我生活的小鎮裏沒有。
於是，我到Youtube去看了專輯裏某些歌曲的MV。
喜歡《突然好想你》的溫柔。
喜歡《笑忘歌》的青春。

子珊在2008娱协的得奖作品。
忘了歌曲是怎样的。
上网查了一下。好歌，当然要分享。

这是Steve Jobs，Apple Computer和Pixar Animation Studios的总裁于2005年６月12日在一个毕业典礼上的一部分讲词。

... If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life...

... Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle...

在朋友的部落格看到這個文章分享，挺有意思的。哈~

問題一：你愛我嗎？
錯誤答案A：愛。

"People are very good at not seeing things that are staring them in the face. It's a defence mechanism against things upsetting their lives."

"Don't let the things that might never happen stop you from becoming the fantastic things you can be."

--- "The Chocolate Rum" Dorothy Koomson.

這是一篇文章分享。
主要是讓你知道Diet Coke和類似的飲品裏頭含有一種危險的化學物質，ASPARTAME。
而這種化學物質可以導致死亡。
所以，停止服用含有ASPARTAME的食品。
當然，前提是，你相信這篇文章所寫的。

Why Some People Have All the Luck?
By Professor Richard Wiseman, University of Hertfordshire

Why do some people get all the luck while others never get the breaks they deserve? 

和媽媽去看電影《錢不夠用2》，挺感動的。之前妹妹看了過後，就一直推薦這部電影，叫我和媽媽一定要看。而且，她覺得我媽看了之後一定會問我們會不會像電影中的孩子那樣對待他們的媽媽那樣對待她。我當然說，肯定不會。可是，我媽卻説，其實都要看到時候的情況。如果專業看護比較適合照顧老人，那麽應該讓專業人士來負責。看，我媽多開通！哈哈！當然，我很肯定，她不希望這樣的事情發生。我，也不希望我無法照顧自己的爸爸媽媽。

看完電影之後，印象深刻的，是電影裏頭的其中一首歌曲——《家後》。簡單的愛。平淡的愛。我希望得到的愛。可是，現在的現實生活中，還有這樣的愛嗎？當然，歌詞講的，是妻子的想法。丈夫呢？他是不是也有同樣的感覺？如果妻子這樣無怨無悔的對待丈夫，可是丈夫卻不會這樣的無怨無悔，那這樣的愛情，很可悲吧！電影裏的三媳婦兒對老公說，“我只要你對我好，那任何的犧牲，我都覺得值得”。女人要的，其實很簡單。只要有愛，即使平淡，也足夠了。 

我想，我的問題是，我還沒遇到值得讓我犧牲的男人。我害怕被傷害。所以，保護自己的方式，就是不要嘗試去愛。很烏龜，我知道。

爲了到英國應徵工作之需，找了一個朋友幫我拍了幾張照片。
髮型是新的。剪個留長的時候不會太難看的髮型。
妝，是自己化的。
服裝，是自己的。外套不是。外套都是攝影棚的。

I saw a book the other day, titled "The Last Lecture".  I tought of buying the book, but I didn't do that in the end.  Instead, I ended up remembering the name of the book and it's introduction about the book which led me to search for this particular "Last Lecture" on Youtube.

The book is about a professor, Dr. Randy Pausch who got cancer and gave his last lecture to five hundred people about his childhood dreams, which in the end was not about his childhood dreams.  I caught a few good lines while watching the lecture and got myself thinking after watching it.  Thinking about life.  About how I can live my life.  I hope you will enjoy watching the lecture as much as I did.

去年我到東京參加書展，拜訪了不少日本出版社，希望可以買到一些好書的版權，把書引介進台灣。日本出版社在介紹他們的書給我之前，先很客氣的提醒我：「台灣的童書出版公司都會要求故事一定要有一個結局，可是日本的童書有很多故事是沒有結局的......」 我笑笑說：「不要擔心，我的公司沒有這種堅持，沒有結局的故事若是很棒，也請介紹給我吧。」

禅修营让我获益良多。
它让我有机会更了解自己，更接受自己。
也让我同时放下了一些事情。

决定要去禅修营，是因为觉得很新鲜，是一个不曾尝试的活动。既然有这个机会，而这次禅修的主题又和辅导有关系，就决定去看看到底是怎么一回事。

喜欢看星洲日报星期四的副刊，总有好多值得深思的文章。
这个星期四，我又读到了一篇很有意思的文章——《踏实~活在当下》。

人只要在生活上，起了禅家所谓的“分别心”，就会执著在一边，看另外一边，化作心结，或者变得放不下心，或者起忧伤、惧怕、敌意等。整个情绪的心境就如波涛汹涌。生活的安适与焦虑，差别就在这里；人生的幸福与悲痛，也在这儿分途。——毫厘有差，天地悬隔。

此时此刻，你在做什么？
躺在床上准备睡觉？
打卡上班？
和情妇或情夫在幽会？
坐在露天咖啡室喝茶聊天？
