对了，已经到了岁末。又是来到回顾和展望的时刻。每每来到这个时刻都是百感交集，懊悔没做的，害怕期待的又无法实现。期待生活会有所改变却还是老样子。我时常跟朋友说起，如果在好多好多年后你还是一样，那么你是幸福的，因为身边的人一定非常包容让你能够保持不变。不变是好事吗？我觉得能够保有一颗赤子之心是难得和幸运的，也是一种难能可贵的坚持。
今天到购物广场去办点事，谷中城这间购物广场是出了名泊车麻烦。因为今天有时间又有事非办不可所以就算指示牌显示满座都要进去。直下最底层的停车场就看到一辆车子要离开，真幸运。可是看看是留给残障人士的，开车的那个人当我跟他确定时不知嘀咕了些什么，感觉上好像有些恼羞成怒说这你不泊还有其他人泊呢。这个年轻人四肢正常。我驾开了车子，幸运的马上找到了位子。我还阿Q的对自己说好人有好报。
这件小事给了怎样的启发？在我们选择的过程中，我们会在不知不觉中剥削了别人的权利，只为了个人的利益吗？我记得我曾看到的一句话：成功就是每天做对的事情所累积的成果。我很高兴没有霸占了那个车位，间中是有小小的挣扎的，最后还是做了对的事情。
其实我并不是那么的伟大，我也会做错的事情。好比如果车子在退后时如果碰到别的车子的话我是不会大方的留下字条要车主找我赔偿。如果要确保车子不会或减少招到碰撞的话，就应该把车子泊好，不要胡乱泊车。我们这里的文化是你活该，车子被碰也从来没收到字条。这就是错的事情已经变成大家都在做而被默认了。生活里又有多少这样的例子呢？
在生活中，工作中或人事中曾经有过挣扎吗？会不会就是一直漠视这些小小的改变而在有一天突然发觉你已不认识自己？

艰难的抉择
What do you think? Inspiring?
Insight into Decision Making - Good One:
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way? Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make........
Scroll down
Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.
But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.
The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.
While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one. 'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.'
Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.
非常棒及引人深思的文章。好好的看，好好的想。你是否也犯了大家都在犯的错？

垃圾車定律The Law of the Garbage Truck
One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.
有一天，我跳上一輛計程車，打算到機場。正當我們開上正確的車道時，突然間一輛黑色轎車從停車位開出，正好擋在我們前面。我的計程車司機立即踩剎車，車子滑行了一小段路，剛好閃開來車，兩車之間的距離就只差個幾英吋！另一輛車的駕駛兇狠地甩頭，並且朝著我們大喊大叫。
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really friendly. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
我的計程車司機只是微笑，對那傢伙揮揮手。我的意思是說，他表現得很友善。於是我問：「你剛才為什麼那麼做？那傢伙差點毀了你的車，還可能害我們受傷送醫院！」這是當時我的計程車司機告訴我的話，現在我就稱呼它為「垃圾車定律」。
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So....Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
他解釋說：許多人就像垃圾車。他們到處跑來跑去，身上充滿了垃圾、充滿了沮喪、充滿了憤怒、和充滿了失望。隨著垃圾堆積，他們終需找個地方傾倒；有時候，我們剛好碰上了，垃圾就往我們身上丟，所以，不要介意，只要微笑、揮揮手、祝福他們，然後繼續走我們自己的路就行；千萬別將他們的垃圾擴散給同事、家人、或其他路人。
這兒的底線是：成功的人絕對不讓垃圾車接管自己生活當中的任何一天；人生苦短，早上醒來絕對不要帶著遺憾。所以....仁愛對待與你以禮相待的人；不用去理會那群無理取恼者。生命只有10%由自己決定，但90%看你如何利用它！
Have a marvelous, garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today, determine the harvest you reap tom orrow.
過一個奇妙的、沒有垃圾的日子吧！你今天所裁植的種子，會決定你明天的收穫。
有时候我也是垃圾车，你呢？哈哈。。。。知错能改，善莫大焉。

这也是九月份工作的照片。宋逸民应台湾观光局的邀请作的宣传。他的年纪比我大看起来却比我年轻，真的要反省一下了，哈哈。他给我的感觉是宗教给了他很大的力量去面对身边的人和事。亲和力非常的强，也许，温和也是必学的一种人生态度。高兴的是因为工作的关系可以看到不同的人和事，从他们的身上学习。下来要处理的节目是一场“困难任务”的节目。有机会再跟你们分享我的所见。

你们好，好久没有上来了。日子还是一样过，最近过得稍微逍遥些因为作了一个很久以来想做而又因为懒散而没做的决定。我已经让自己停滞好久了，就快得要只有想法而没有行动了。我在不知不觉中已经来到了人生的一个分叉口，与其一直担心无法好好的把握生命，倒不如踏前一步。
生命中能够拥有“可能”是快乐的事，不是吗？对了，最近尝试填词，好像被接受了，好开心有了一个新尝试。贴上九月份工作的照片，盛钟是一个很努力也很好学的歌手。努力的去追求自己的理想，虽然有时有点难有点沮丧，想对他说的是：你至少没有让年轻的岁月留白。同时也要向我的学生说的是：好好珍惜自己的年轻岁月，活得精彩固然重要，懂得留白也是一种智慧。共勉之。
