Life begins when you do

雖是心靈雞湯,但不是沒有意思。    
It's up to you to make choices that work best for you. It really is all within your point of view. Regret is a matter of perspective. If you like who you are NOW, it follows that you can embrace, without regret, all the choices that led you here.
Difficulties impact me—they do not define me.
Challenges mold me—they do not make me.
Praise may encourage me—it is my own vision that inspires me.
Successes may spur me on but it is my own reward that satisfies me.
Pain may permeate but my heart and hope prevail.
Criticism and pettiness may knock but the lock is on my side of the door.
Abundance may pave the road but it is generosity that lights the way.
As long as I'm breathin'—I'm livin'.
My way. Beginning every fresh moment—now!

為昂山素姬而寫的“Walk On"

Bono是與昂山素姬的丈夫傾談而後寫的詞,很動人,昂山素姬讀詞如見夫,若我是她,眼淚潸潸已下。

And love, it's not the easy thing
The only baggage, that you can bring
Not the easy thing, the only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
Before the second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Oh, oh, walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
You're packin' a suitcase for a place, none of us has been
A place that has to be believed, to be seen
You could have flown away, a singin' bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Oh, oh, walk on, walk on
What you got, you can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
You stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
How your heart, it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home, hard to know what it is
If you never had one
Home, I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going
Home, that's where the heart is
And I know it aches
And your heart, it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion, all that you make
All that you build, all that you break
All that you measure, all that you feel
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason, all that you care
(It's only time and I'll never fill up all my mind)
All that you sense, all that you scheme
All you dress up, and all that you see
All you create, all that you wreck
All that you hate

甜過初戀

這相應攝於大陸吧。誰為婆婆想到用這個生動的描述賣橙?噗哧笑了出來。一定要光顧啊,多多都買!

思憶

最疼我的人已遠去,零落的時候,格外思念。沒有人可比得上你。你的步姿、我幾歲大你拖著我逛街的畫面,為什麼宛如昨日。眼淚上湧,無法抑止。

跟自己低語

矇矇矓矓之際,意識自己一人在這個小小空間,賴著。有很疼很疼我的人,以為很愛很愛很愛我的人,不過都在很遠很遠的地方。到頭來,都是自己一個人。

讓我照顧你

很喜歡商業電台一台的節目「久久久,但願人長久」的節目。很奇怪,為什麼一些話,兩個人的時候說不出口,反而能公開在電台講出來。然而,即使我這個第三者,聽到的時候是感動的。
「讓我照顧你。」
許多次,男子在電台向女子這樣說。照顧一個人,是很大的承諾,今時今日,聽說有這種擔當的男子很少,男子敢於透過電台公開許諾,重量猶如撞鐘,耳邊暈眩。
今天的女子,早被教誨及早懂得要有獨立能力,但心坎相信有此能力之女子仍希望有人會對自己說「讓我照顧你」,因為那代表有人會分擔自己的負擔,有麻煩時不會走開,自己不會遭丟下。
有次「但願人長久」重播一段男向女求婚的聲帶,旁人都感受到他們的歡樂,但原來男已去世,節目播出聲帶是鼓勵女振作,好好活下去,不要憂傷。我按不住眼淚。

轉行

很資深的記者擬轉工,不再做記者,她已是那條beat有名堂的人物,亦有碩士和專業資格,但都不是一時三刻成事,因為市道不像表面那麼好,私人公司請人謹慎。而且有一定資歴,職位是高不成低不就。綜合得回來的忠告和經驗:想轉行,要趁早。
有一個在社會略有名氣的人公開說:做記者三年,要學的東西學得七七八八,是時候轉工,否則容易磋陀下去。
看了後有些氣:三年學夠了?他真無知。入行三年,有機會的話,確對各方面有些認知和建立了些人脈,可是距離做一個好記者還有很遠很遠的路。當然,若打算用作找新工作和議價的本錢,那是可以用來唬人的。前輩說過,三年、五年,是一個關口,能否走下去,要看本人的志趣。
離開記者這行,沒問題,但若入行時已視為跳板或做志在做名主播(天,外國的新聞主播絕大多數是打上去,不是空心花瓶),要不得。一天留在這行,一天都請別混噩過日子,因為記者的工作確影響社會,即使細微至一段你以為不起眼的小文。看見今天的傳媒,知內情的人會嘆息;記者易人云亦云,再不是提供獨立可信的消息,他們忘了其報道塑造了公眾對人對事的觀感,將來人們靠今天的傳媒重塑當天的社會。
很多有心人是不情願轉行,無奈。
善用崗位,做得多少就多少,是我今天的工作守則。
