在哪裡?－C'est mon la vie simple

那個不相信自己做不到的Vicky Chen跑到哪裡去了? 不管怎麼樣，事情永遠都沒有糟到不可挽救的地步! 最近不知道是磁場相近還是怎樣，總是有機會看到聽到或和朋友聊到最近自己在煩惱的話題，才發現原來大家都差不多。但總是要找到個點吧!? 現在這個情況讓我聯想到Catcher in the Rye的故事主角以及小飛俠，了解到他們不想長大的原因。不過這並不代表我不想長大，只不過是我現在能體會為什麼這書和故事很有名而且Catcher in the Rye還是高中必讀的書。高中時的我把作者罵到臭頭，說他是個神經病，寫出甚麼無聊的書，有誰會不想長大和有那麼嚴重的反社會心理。現在那本書對我而言還是很無聊，但我可以了解那故事背後的意義。有人跟我說 :“你永遠都不知道未來會怎樣”，或許我們都該學習對任何事都能屈能伸。應該可以說上帝為你關一扇門一定會幫你開另一個窗吧。

The Wise Old Man
A man of 92 years, short, very well-presented, who takes great care in his appearance, is moving into an old people’s home today. His wife of 70 has recently died, and he is obliged to leave his home.

After waiting several hours in the retirement home lobby, he gently smiles as he is told that his room is ready. As he slowly walks to the elevator, using his cane, I describe his small room to him, including the sheet hung at the window which serves as a curtain.

"I like it very much", he says, with the enthusiasm of an 8 year old boy who has just been given a new puppy."M. Gagné, you haven’t even seen the room yet, hang on a moment, we are almost there. "
" That has nothing to do with it ", he replies. " Happiness is something I choose in advance. Whether or not I like the room does not depend on the furniture, or the decor – rather it depends on how I decide to see it. " " It is already decided in my mind that I like my room. It is a decision I take every morning when I wake up. "  " I can choose. I can spend my day in bed enumerating all the difficulties that I have with the parts of my body that no longer work very well, or I can get up and give thanks to heaven for those parts that are still in working order. "

" Every day is a gift, and as long as I can open my eyes, I will focus on the new day, and all the happy memories that I have built up during my life. "

" Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw in later life what you have deposited along the way. "
So, my advice to you is to deposit all the happiness you can in your bank account of memories. Thank you for your part in filling my account with happy memories, which I am still continuing to fill…

Remember these simple guidelines for happiness.
1. Free your heart from hate.
2. Free your mind from worry.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

整篇文章有點"說教的感覺"，尤其是最後的happiness guidelines。
但難道幸福不是自己選擇而來的嗎?Happyiness is really something you can choose in advance.很多時候換個角度想，生活會更快樂一點。但是這並不是一件簡單的事，不然就不會有人因為受不了生活壓力而得憂鬱症或跑去自殺了。或許要到變成了wise old man，看盡世間人情冷暖後才能體會吧。
不過我真的很愛這句話"Happiness is something I choose in advance"

只能說最近真的想很多。。。。。
好啦，有時候就必須多想一點才知道真正要得是甚麼。It is just a phase，畢竟我也22了，總不能做出"好傻好天真"的事吧...lol

謝謝最近聽我blabber的人 and thanks for the e-mail .
