As if to say, "Come follow me." And then she ran away!  Shepherd's cane in the air, I sprinted after her.  3 minutes later, I tracked her down.  She was at a narrow valley, with a single bush.  Then it caught on fire! I mean, it was not!  But it was! It was burning but it was not burning.  I mean, it was on fire but did not burn!  Then I was struck by the voice of GOD! "Take off your sandals Moses, for you are on Holy Ground.  When you have gone into exile from Pharoah, I have seen your people work hard.  Go back to that land where you killed a native.  And say: Let my people go.  And now!" But I yelled, "For I am a fat feeble old man!! I am 10000 years old - Too old!!! I am not a good talker!!!!" "I will send your brother Aaron with you." God boomed.  "Still, no." I complained.  So God said, "Moses, throw thy staff on thy ground." Now, I sensed a trap.  I could have said no but this was God speaking to me.  So I did as I was told.  Then instantly, it turned into a snake.  Not a snake, but a cobra!!!  I freaked out, but God said, "Moses, pick up thy staff." with a shaking hand, I did so.  And it turned into a staff.  "Still, no." I said.  "Moses, take thy hand and put it into thy collar." So I did.  "Take thy hand out of thy collar." God boomed.  So I did.  With a ssh-shads sound, it was a thick slime that covered my fingers.  "Now you have to put thy hand in collar." So I did.  And... No more slime!!!  "Now you have seen the power of God." God exclaimed.  "Now go." So I did.  Time for this entry to end.  Bye bye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE END!&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28369894-5831402530009626065?l=readingreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/feeds/5831402530009626065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28369894&amp;postID=5831402530009626065' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/5831402530009626065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/5831402530009626065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/2011/05/secret-diary-of-moses.html' title='The secret diary of Moses'/><author><name>Alan Yu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613909143295518623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdiM9tlCd-8/TcXJQKh0B-I/AAAAAAAABdU/1rWqlrtFx5U/s220/profile2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28369894.post-2444417138180342138</id><published>2011-02-04T10:43:00.004-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-04T11:09:45.494-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><title type='text'>Insights from Day 10 at CN705</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be CAREFUL in taking care of our body as the temple of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Burnout is a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment that occurs in individuals who work with people. (Too much caring; too little resource.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;There is no such thing as failure in God's kingdom, only forced growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Burn-out could take 5 to 6 years to work out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Burn-out people say, "Yes, there is a God, but He just doesn't care about me."  That sense of loss is what is devastating about burn-out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;When you lack support, your chance of burn-out increases dramatically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Support has to come from top-down.  You cannot look to your congregation for support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Causes of burn-out includes situational and ongoing minor conflicts, inadequate support and rewards, low-grade depression, irrational expectations and lack of assertiveness.  Over-work is not the key.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stress-out is the exhaustion of your adrenaline system; burn-out is the exhaustion of your emotional system with loss of empathy, caring, hope and detachment.  Both are forms of depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Type B personality is more prone to burn-out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;We suffer burn-out from emotional triangles.  Training in systems theory can help reduce burn-out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;We suffer burn-out from not having a safe place to express intense job-related feelings (aggravated by confidentiality issues).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;We suffer burn-out from a confused sense of purpose accompanied by administrative overload.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Humour is powerful in putting things back into perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 in 3 pastors 10 years in ministry shows signs of burn-out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Leaving your ministry will not help your burn-out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sympathy is actually not helpful to ourselves as well as to the people we help.  We need to learn empathy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;We need to develop healthy theology of compassion, self-care, success and failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Success has little spiritual and therapeutic value.  It does not make our life better.  Success is just a bonus God give to those who are faithful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;God is not in the success business but the refine business.  God cares about the maturity of our life more than the size of our church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Because of the information technology revolution, pastors now are constantly being compared to the celebrity pastors.  This has created tremendous stress on pastors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28369894-2444417138180342138?l=readingreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/feeds/2444417138180342138/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28369894&amp;postID=2444417138180342138' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/2444417138180342138'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/2444417138180342138'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/2011/02/insights-from-day-10-at-cn705.html' title='Insights from Day 10 at CN705'/><author><name>Alan Yu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613909143295518623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdiM9tlCd-8/TcXJQKh0B-I/AAAAAAAABdU/1rWqlrtFx5U/s220/profile2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28369894.post-1088644965836001058</id><published>2011-02-03T15:12:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-03T15:12:52.158-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><title type='text'>Insights from Day 9 at CN705</title><content type='html'>&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;“It is exceedingly clear that the chronic stress of twenty-first century living is not a mere inconvenience, but a major problem that needs to be recognized and treated seriously.  Unless we as a society learn to slow down, breathe, examine our values and change our hectic lifestyles, we will continue to suffer from cardiovascular disease, immune deficiencies, depression and a host of other illnesses.  Further, we will pass these traits and poor coping skills to our children who could experience even greater suffering given their exposure to severe stress from the first days of life.” Jessie Shaw -Newsweek&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Stress is being stretched beyond your limits and extending yourself without adequate time for recovery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The advent of electric light took away 2-3 hours of sleep; and the advent of television took away another 2 hours.  Our lack of sleep is a major reason for our failure in stress management.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;MInistry is all about dying, but it must be strategic dying.  Accelerated dying is not in God's plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We are a chain of elastic bands - our stress affect EVERY part of our body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;High blood pressure and high cholesterol are stress problem.  Diet only  provides the environment for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;High cortisol (the "stress hormone") level shrink the hippocampus in our brain, reducing our ability to learn, to remember and to forget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Caffeine boosts our adrenaline level, which gives us energy, but at the same time shuts down our other systems such as logic thinking (so we cannot learn), immune (so we get sick) and reproduction (so we become impotent)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;If you "need" caffeine you are already out of control&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Type A people produces 4 times as much adrenaline and 43 times as much cortisol as other people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Choose your battles and your emergencies where you will truly need your adrenaline&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Resign as the “keeper of the universe” and focus on that which God has given you to do in your part of His vineyard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Sleeping less than 5 hours a night on average will guarantee an early heart attack.  The boundary of danger is 6 hours.  Sleeping less than that is hazardous to your health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The optional length of sleep is 6 90-minute cycles, that is 9 hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Sleeping is a process similar to defragmentation of a harddisk.  What the alarm clock do to us is like unplugging the computer in the middle of a harddisk defragmentation process. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The sleep switch in our brain is not time sensitive but light sensitive.  Turn down the lights way before you sleep to get into the mode, and turn up the light as soon as you wake up to stop the melatonin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Nap is not sleep.  Nap is good for lowering adrenaline, slowing our system and refreshing our mind, but it does not equate sleep.  An effective sleep takes at least one sleep cycle, that is 90-minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Anxiety is a warning system for danger approaching us.  But when we are anxious all the time, the alarm does not mean anything anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Worry anxiety is a bad habit of the mind.  It is a spiritual issue more than a psychological issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Fear and worry are different.  Worry has no tangible threat but only imagined, while fear does.  We cannot handle worry, but we can handle fear.  Therefore, we should treat worry with facts, reality and reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Panic anxiety discarder is a biological disorder created by prolonged psychological stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Panic anxiety discarder is the #1 mental problem for women in USA.  For men, #1 is substance abuse and panic anxiety disorder is #2.  The men are self-medicating themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Panic attack is a gift to slow us down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;When you worry, write down what you're worrying and set your mind to intentionally worry them for at least 15 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28369894-1088644965836001058?l=readingreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/feeds/1088644965836001058/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28369894&amp;postID=1088644965836001058' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/1088644965836001058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/1088644965836001058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/2011/02/insights-from-day-9-at-cn705.html' title='Insights from Day 9 at CN705'/><author><name>Alan Yu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613909143295518623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdiM9tlCd-8/TcXJQKh0B-I/AAAAAAAABdU/1rWqlrtFx5U/s220/profile2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28369894.post-8945598735119710080</id><published>2011-02-02T15:01:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-02T15:01:48.944-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><title type='text'>Insights from Day 8 at CN705</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Being assertive doesn't mean winning the battle, but having the choice to do what you think is right and best, and not being forced to do what you do not want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Being assertive is having the right to choose to sacrifice.  It is based on strength and courage, not cowardliness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;When you're angry, you disqualify yourself from assertiveness.

We are in desperate need of a theology of the self and of emotion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We must incorporate the doctrine of regeneration into our concept of self-esteem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Dr. Martin Seligman: “There are almost no findings that self-esteem causes anything at all.” "What needs improving is not self-esteem, but our skills for dealing with the world."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Why are so many successful, competent people plagued with chronic low self-esteem?  Somewhere, behind external achievements, there must be an internal filtering device that denies the successes and hoards the failures, and then serves them up as the fruit of one’s life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The effect of life circumstances (successes and failures) and other external factors are NOT an adequate basis for understanding the origin or maintenance of high or low self-esteem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;A healthy self-esteem is the acceptance of a positive and undistorted self-image.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Mistakes are what we used to inform our improvement.  Mistake is not failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The generation struggles with low self-esteem, while the new generation struggle with narcissism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;"The best thing you bring to leadership is your own transformed self." -Strengthening The Soul of Your Leadership, Ruth Haley Barton&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Feeling and practicing gratitude is the single strongest predictor of satisfaction with life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Many of us are just living off other people's genuine spirituality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Many people are languishing because of spiritual carelessness (neglecting and not taking care of our spirit).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The number one thing to help reduce stress is silence and solitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;It is important to train young people to increase their capacity for silence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28369894-1265926693963251765?l=readingreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/feeds/1265926693963251765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28369894&amp;postID=1265926693963251765' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/1265926693963251765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/1265926693963251765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/2011/02/insights-from-day-7-at-cn705.html' title='Insights from Day 7 at CN705'/><author><name>Alan Yu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613909143295518623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdiM9tlCd-8/TcXJQKh0B-I/AAAAAAAABdU/1rWqlrtFx5U/s220/profile2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28369894.post-5808094969808465272</id><published>2011-01-31T15:31:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T15:31:56.395-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><title type='text'>Insights from Day 6 at CN705</title><content type='html'>&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Sexuality: Excessive denial a major weakness, and our silence about this topic will be our greatest downfall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Steven Berglas (of Harvard Medical School): The Four A's of Success: Aloneness (loss of accountability), Arrogance (loss of humility), Addiction (pursuit of novelty), Adultery (pursuit of pleasure)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Pastors are more likely to attract transference than any other helping professionals.

It is fragrance of life and the aroma of death at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Anger as feeling is always valid – but may not be justified (misperceptions etc).  One feels for a reason – even if its not a good reason.  But anger as behavior is seldom valid – except in extreme cases of self-defense or danger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Anger is like a boomerang - you throw it out to hurt someone but it came back to hurt you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We should never equate the wrath of God with human anger.  There is no such thing as "righteous anger", only "anger of the righteous one."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Justice does not need to be motivated by sustained anger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The angry feeling is neutral, but it is dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;雅各書1:20 人的怒氣並不成就　神的義。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Anger can be a conditioned response.  It can be unlearned - just like temper tantrum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Ventilation does not release the anger, it rehearses the anger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;No mater how terrible things are, always greet your spouse with a smile when you go home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Forgiveness is surrendering my right to hurt you back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Forgiveness is not reconciliation.  Forgiveness is a personal and private decision and only involves ourselves.  I cannot request the other party's apology or confession as a condition for our forgiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;God has forgiven us before we confess our sins.  Our confession is a requirement for reconciliation, not forgiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Forgetting has nothing to do with forgiveness.  Forgiveness is not emotional but an ethical choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Forgiveness doesn't take a long time.  It is just a decision in a moment.  But it may take a long time to bring yourself to the position where you can forgive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Don't tell the person that you have forgiven him/her unless they ask you for that.  Write down your forgiveness and get rid of it.  Don't ever send it.

We need to know what we are saying goodbye to before we can really say goodbye to end the depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;You cannot move forward with your life without grieving your loss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Finding a substitute is just short-circuiting the grieving process.  By substituting you are holding onto your loss and the depression can never end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We create unnecessary losses by not adjusting our values from previous depressions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;After all the psychological issues are sorted out, what we are left with are theological issues.  There is no solution and hope except to submit to God's sovereignty.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We do not need cheap "bible verse" comfort, but we need to process our losses with biblical truth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Reactive depression is a tool for self-growth.  We learn more from depression than from success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;In the digital revolution, change is coming not just to how we counsel, but what and who we counsel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Facebook Depression is already a proper diagnosis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Texting has a reward reinforcement pattern in our brain similar to slot machine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We believe that we are good at multitasking.  Scientific studies show that we are not (35% worse performance when multitasking). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Multitasking improves our feeling (it makes you feel capable), but destroys our productivity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Multitasking is an addiction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The brain is not designed for multitasking.  Period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;When multitasking, we are using the more pleasant tasks to help us sustain the less desirable tasks.  This is not helpful in our character development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We are distracting ourselves to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We are taught to value multitasking because it creates more business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Two-thirds of US undergrads now score 30% higher on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Instead of using the Web to learn about the wide world, the young use it to gossip about each other and follow pop culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Students now are using drugs like Adderall (for treating ADHD) as neuro-cosmetic to compensate for their loss of intelligence and attention due to their digital lifestyle.

Our Sabbaths are our day of toil, and if we do not rest upon some other day we shall break down."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Disillusionment is inevitable when we “idealize” a calling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Abuse and misuse of our physiology is too easily “justified by our cause”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Everybody needs to be an expert in sleep.  Seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Sometimes God do not prevent us from the consequences of our stupidity, but this is not for punishment but for discipline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Exercise plays a critical role in the regulation of our cortisol level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Some sleeping pills are just anaesthetics.  They are not giving you sleep but are just shutting down your brain, which doesn't bring rejuvenation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Chronic stress can reduce the size of the Hippocampus in our brain by 30%, which reduces our ability to learn and to forget.  Yet this is reversible by physical exercise, and by experience of love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Stress relates to the issue of control.  To what extent do you have control over your life?  We feel stress when we feel lack of control (helpless and hopeless).  Therefore, the janitor is more stressed then the CEO, and the pastor is more stressed then the janitor (because s/he has the most bosses)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;If you surrender to the symptoms of depression, you will probably get through reactive depression sooner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Female feels their depression; male acts out their depression (such as through rage and addiction).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Most male depression cases were misdiagnosed because all tests and assessment methods are female-based.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;We have adopted a theology and psychology of "feeling good" and it is tragic.  Feeling good is of lowest priority.  Survival is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Studies show that just by talking to a patient can change the biology of his/her brain.  That's why psychotherapy works.  That's also one of the reasons why preaching works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;An observation: The classroom projector is not working but it is ok, because only 2 person in our class of 25 do not have a laptop in front of them with the powerpoint file already distributed to them through the class  online forum.  The 2 person who don't have a laptop use iPads.  So we don't actually need the projector.

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然後，我終於明白雞同鴨講的原因。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;高層說的，是選擇的機會。相比往日，行業、工種、聘用形式，都更多元化，是不爭事實。上一代生活艱難，不胼手胝足苦幹，開不了飯。今日我們三餐不愁，選擇自由，還怨三怨四，不是不長進是甚麼？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

not THE most) emotionally hazardous vocations. (Hope: But it needs not be so)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;About 20 years ago, one-third of evangelical pastors have extra-marital sex with a member of the congregation. (Hope: It has improved since then)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;We are facing an unprecedented period of conflict between clergy and the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Our digital lifestyle, because of the neuroplasticity of our brain, is robbing us of our ability to contemplate and threatening our capacity for spirituality.  It is also making self-care a lot more difficult. (Calling: "Be still.")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;We have to learn to live within our limits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;"My prayer to you all is that you will die before you are finished."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Success is a bonus given for our faithfulness, not the reward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Resist the obsession to be successful, because it only sets us up for profound burn-out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;"All that is not the love of God has no interest to me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;"The usefulness of my life is His concern, not mine."  It is not our responsibility to make sense of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Finishing well starts at the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;We have to learn to manage our pleasure system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Boredom is a gift God has for us. (The brain as a machine needs to have its down time.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;The point of going on a vacation is to be bored. (AMEN!!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;There is a connection between boredom and holiness ("Be bored and know that I am God").  Don't entertain people in worship, bore them into holiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Play to an audience of one instead of to the grandstand. (And we have to identify our grandstand.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;"I used to do conferences together with Rick Warren and Bill Hybels.  They did their things and I corrected them." (To those who don't get it, this is a joke.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;(This is for my dear brother Felix) "Golf is not a game worth pursuing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;"I believe the telephone is Satanic and

我越信這些我就越顯得不信上帝，不順上帝。我越信慈愛善良我就越不信慈愛善良的上帝，我就越要用信心來生活，我要用近乎迷信的信來對付自己的不信。所以我要等，我要等一個答案。[...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;對於死我們尚且無能。對死亡背後那更勁的上帝，我們簡直不能言語，只能仰望祂的慈愛，期望祂的恩典，更原諒我們的無知與狂妄。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;想寫曾俊華那個廣告很久。我不知道這廣告的拍攝手法好不好，那個留意見留鬚的動作設計成不成功；我想說的是這個廣告所反映的思維。先看看這廣告的內容：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;廣告一開始是財爺「鬍鬚曾」問：「如果你係我，你會點制訂下年度嘅財政預算案？」。接著，廣告以貼「鬍鬚」的形體動作，來增強感染力和視覺效果。先是OL、然後小學生、足球員、伯伯和婆婆，都貼上鬍鬚提意見。各人提問內容：「如果我係財爺，我會繼續促進經濟發展、創造就業」、「我會係教育方面畀多ｄ資源」、「我會加強推動體育同文化發展」、「我會改善長者福利」、「仲會照顧弱勢社群」。最後，財爺利用方法演技的技巧，加入了一個笑聲，然後說大家不一定要留鬍鬚，也可在登上網站www.budget.gov.hk發表意見。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;既然拍得成廣告，特區政府相信也認同廣告背後的思維。你看到廣告中，不同背景的人，都是從自身利益出發，提出意見，希望曾俊華如何幫助該組群的人。例如中環OL就支持經濟發展、足球員就要求更多資源發展體育、小孩就提出增加教育開支。當然，這是無可厚非的，每人都會比較關心自己所屬的社群的需要。這個廣告可以無止境拍下去，圖書館使用者會增加圖書數量、輪候骨灰龕的人會要求增加骨灰龕的數量，如果我也有份拍，那就一定是增加市區的單車徑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實廣告是塑造思維的好工具。透過廣告來創造消費需要我們都明白，透過廣告來塑造公眾思維是我們要多加對抗的戰場。這個廣告表面上有道理，在推廣我們都要為自己的利益發聲，好像很開明。&lt;b&gt;但是廣告內沒有人提出對整體有利的意見，彷彿我們沒有人關心其他人的需要，彷彿我們不用關心社會整體的利益。這個就是政府現今的管治策略，把公民社會不同群體拆散，只看到自己群體需要，只爭取自己群體的需要。&lt;/b&gt;其實群體面對著差不多的問題和需要，但大家都各自修行，中正政府下懷。結果，反高鐵是80後的事、The Icon是有錢買一千萬單位的中產一族的問題。&lt;b&gt;但上面的中環OL其實也可以關心舊區重建強拍的問題、足球員也可以要求訂立競爭法、小學生亦可以提出普選、伯伯和婆婆可以關注西九發展，而我，當然可以對抗地產霸權，一年唔幫襯大地產商。&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;要塑造思維，令大眾純粹以自身利益出發，需時不多，十年八載小成，二十年功德完滿。我們只有努力加餐飯，令身邊人更多關心公共生活，公眾利益。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://yatming.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/留意見唔一定要留鬚/"&gt;原文出自「一年唔幫襯大地產商」blog by

Something so attractive that it will break over into the circles of the pleasure-loving.  Something that will set people on their back tracks to make restitution for wrongs committed.  Something that will bring God to bear upon cultural problems like divorce and racism.  Something that will inject old-time honesty, veracity, and purity, and other-world-mindedness in our preachers and people.  Something that will make the namby-pamby, soft-handed, compromising, cringing sort of Christianity as obsolete as Phariseeism was on the day of Pentecost.

/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;於佐敦彌敦道舊樓下「擺檔」的先達商店，靠賣「繡花拖鞋」撐足半世紀，被遊客視為瑰寶，更獲外國旅遊書捧為購物熱點。老闆鍾球今年84歲，一心以為可與老店終老，但上月業主寄他一封律師信，請他今個月尾「執包袱」。雖然鍾伯自願加租，期望繼續經營，但業主堅拒，只求老店盡快消失於滿是「大集團」的彌敦道。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;屹立半世紀 遊客熱點&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;彌敦道是集團連鎖店表演「自我膨脹」的最佳舞台，具香港特色的老店近乎絕迹。屹立彌敦道大街、賣繡花拖鞋的先達商店，幾乎是彌敦道的「最後老店」。這間「佐敦先達」吸引力不亞於「旺角先達」，遊客絡繹不絕，老闆鍾球說：「日本人很喜愛有中國特色的東西，試過有人花千元買繡花拖鞋。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;老店夾在零售化妝店的兩個舖位中間，在一棟滿是「劏房」的舊樓下，令它更顯老而彌堅。行動緩慢、只餘幾絲白髮的鍾球，指着幽暗的樓梯說：「以往樓上全都是醫生診所，但全都搬走了。」鍾伯憶述，六七暴動的彌敦道，全都是軍隊：「係軍隊，唔係警察呀！你一伸個頭出來，便一槍打死你。」如今再「伸個頭」出來看，是一個個拖行李箱的自由行旅客。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;連鎖店天下 店員冷冰冰&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今時今日，彌敦道成為連鎖店的天下。見證彌敦道變天的鍾球說，以往左鄰右里有賣綢緞、也有賣水果，每間舖結束營業時，伙記也一一過來道別：「我們走喇，你自己保重呀！」近年，彌敦道天天換畫，他的老店兩旁來了「莎莎」做伴，名字親暱，距離卻很遙遠。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在鍾伯口中，大型連鎖店的伙記都是「高高在上唔睬人」，感覺冷冰冰。「我們以前不時和隔離舖頭嘅伙記傾偈，問人借個洗手間小便都好方便，而家行入去這些店，人哋一定唔會借畀你。新時代，唔同晒。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;鍾伯在1950年代與朋友王先生一起賣繡花拖鞋，一做便是52年：「我一生人的青春都喺晒度㗎喇……我賣的都係古董，以前邊有咁多日本膠拖鞋！」最佳拍檔王先生已仙遊，王的兒子王景華（Billy）認為老店的繡花拖鞋很別致，大有市場，故寧放下平面設計工作，頂替父親與鍾球「拍住上」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;只有20呎的舖位在彌敦道站穩逾半世紀，店內無「有型有格」的射燈，只有幾條實而不華的光管。一對對自家設計的繡花拖鞋，質地有布有膠，款式有男士功夫鞋、女裝平底鞋任君選擇，賣39至280元，豐儉由人。廠房在香港，加工在內地，招牌大無畏寫上「Made In Hong Kong」（香港製造），鍾球說：「我擔心客人以為是內地貨嘛！」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;難原區另覓新舖&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;昔日業主講感情，鍾伯交700元租金便可開門做生意，「但業主下一代接手後，兩三個星期前便叫律師寫了封信畀我，話租到2011年1月31日，無人情講，即使我願意加租，但人家說：『我係唔鍾意租畀你。』咁我有乜辦法？」Billy說，正着手覓新舖，但一定不能「原區安置」，計劃「上樓」搬到附近的寶靈商場：「要趕快通知熟客和旅遊書商，告訴他們我們快搬走。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;戰前出世的鍾伯堅持不退休，一廂情願想繼續和連鎖店在彌敦道上共舞。鍾伯講了個很老套卻令人尊敬的答案：「我要自力更生，最多政府畀份生果金。自己開檔做生意仔，過吓日辰嘛！」也許大集團連鎖店愛演獨腳戲，不用老店做舞伴。本月尾，繡花拖鞋，請你下台。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

The truth is, the future is headed towards us.  And it's in a hurry.  We also generally think that the present makes sense only in light of the past.  Again, we need to check our thinking.  The present makes clear sense in light of the future.  We humans write history by looking at the past.  God creates history ahead of time.  He never forecasts.  God always backcasts.  He began with the end in mind.  The future is always incipient in the present.  Before the foundation of the world, the Lamb was slain.  Calvary was anticipated in God's kiss of life to Adam.  The cross gains dimension ailhouetted against the empty tomb.  The empty tomb confirmed the invasion of the future into the present.  When Paul encountered the resurrected Jesus, he realized the future had been fast-forwarded.

correct），挪亞方舟事件，一如聖經上對它的每一項描述，準確地呈現在這個世界上。&lt;br /&gt;我是想，即使（！）考古學家真的掘出了一艘如聖經所載、一樣尺寸、一樣停留的地方等的方舟，上述信徒的信仰，究竟是在一種怎樣的狀態？&lt;br /&gt;不少信徒會極力維護聖經的「無誤性」，認為聖經如是這樣、那樣一字一句地說了，我們就應相信了。我不是想談方舟考古的準確性（我實在沒有質格談），我只想說，我觀察到的是，這些信徒是特別容易產生一種焦慮——尤其聽到甚麼進化論證據、甚麼考古發現等。談到挪亞方舟的記載性質（神話、歷史真實事件等緒如此類的討論），就直情是挑動他們的神經！深思他們背後的心態，不難發現這很大程度是因他們把信仰，建築在一種實證主義的基礎上。&lt;br /&gt;有時，我們會把一些看得見、曾存在過的真實證據，作為我們信仰的根基；拿出了這些所謂科學實證，就以為信仰會是堅硬實淨。於是，我們竭力地在實證與信仰的關係上下護教之功。除去了這方面，我們的信仰似乎就要垮台；信仰／聖經不能跟實證科學矛盾，要不，我們的信仰哪有值得相信的地方？&lt;br /&gt;可惜，這同時是一種信仰蒼白的狀態。信仰的歷程，真是要在這樣的基礎上走下去嗎？&lt;br /&gt;基督信仰不是對世界、對社會、對文化的反省、對身邊人的關懷、對每個生命中受苦、盼望、恩典等有更深切、更偉大的睿見和委身（commitments）嗎？可惜，我們不把這些更大、更重要的事情放在心上，也不覺得這些是基督信仰的根基。（這或許就是不少人對香港大多數教會的批評）相反，不斷去傾盤而出、耗費不菲地去探索、以實證去指出聖經裡某一處的記載是如何精確，並以此作為我們傳的所謂「福音」的內容。&lt;br /&gt;我不是要否定實證科學的價值，我只想問：把實證放在一個終極的位置，會否扭曲了信仰與科學的關係？而且，會否把信仰的焦點，由對人、對社會世界、對文化的關懷，錯置在一個自我築起、以滿足實證、客觀的探究上？&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;The Latin root [for the word addiction] is &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;addicene&lt;/span&gt;, "to give assent, to assign or surrender" - in ancient times it was used to describe someone (usually an enemy) who was captured and kept in bondage or slavery.  This is a good description of the modern addict as well - he or she is a "slave" to an attachment.&lt;/blockquote&gt;(p. 5)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Clavin Miller, in his book &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The Taste of Joy&lt;/span&gt;, warns that many Christians are only "Christaholics" and not disciples at all.  He points out that real disciples are cross bearers; they seek to follow the true Christ, not make a fetish of him or any aspect of following him.  Christaholics, on the other hand, are escapists who are looking for a shortcut to happiness.  They want the joy that comes from knowing Christ but none of the responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;The possibility of religious addiction is something every Christian leader should acknowledge, because in urging others to greater devotion, there is always the danger of encouraging the development of addictions.  Given the tremendous emotional needs many in our culture feel, there is always the temptation, in presenting and interpreting the gospel, to overemphasize "what religion can do for you."  Our preaching, teaching and writing, therefore, can lead people down the addiction path rather than the true experience of Christ's path if we unknowlingly give too much reverence to the objects of our faith rather than to Christ.&lt;/blockquote&gt;(p.132)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Archibald Hart, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Healing Life's Hidden Addictions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28369894-3731838043226744992?l=readingreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/feeds/3731838043226744992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28369894&amp;postID=3731838043226744992' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/3731838043226744992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/3731838043226744992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/2010/10/cn705-reading-notes-2.html' title='CN705 Reading Notes (2)'/><author><name>Alan Yu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613909143295518623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdiM9tlCd-8/TcXJQKh0B-I/AAAAAAAABdU/1rWqlrtFx5U/s220/profile2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28369894.post-9038053268866122894</id><published>2010-10-10T21:31:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-10T21:33:53.949-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='On the light side'/><title type='text'>網民搞笑回應諾獎遭和諧</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;問：有沒有中國人獲得諾貝爾獎？&lt;br /&gt;答：有，但他們都拿著外國國籍。(丁肇中、李遠哲、朱棣文、崔琦、賽珍珠、錢永健)&lt;br /&gt;問：有沒有中國公民獲得過諾貝爾獎？&lt;br /&gt;答：有，但他們都是中華民國的公民。(李政道、楊振寧)&lt;br /&gt;問：有沒有新中國的公民獲得過諾貝爾獎？&lt;br /&gt;答：有，但他不承認自己是中國公民。(高行健)&lt;br /&gt;問：有沒有承認自己是中國人的新中國公民獲得諾貝爾獎？&lt;br /&gt;答：有，但是我們不承認他是中國公民。(達賴)&lt;br /&gt;問：有沒有承認自己是中國公民，國家也承認他是新中國公民的諾貝爾獎獲得者？&lt;br /&gt;答：有，但他在新中國的監獄裏。(劉曉波)&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;本人強烈建議中共中央，立即逮捕那些抓捕劉曉波並判他11年徒刑的人，是他們陰謀策劃，最終製造了一個諾貝爾和平獎獲得者。他們才是共產黨最大的敵人啊！&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;南京一愛國青年在得知挪威將諾獎頒給劉曉波後，非常氣憤，走上街頭發起了一場「抵制挪貨，從我做起」的萬人簽名活動，呼籲廣大市民抵制挪貨，其中一位情緒激昂的市民在多人勸阻無效的情況下，當場點燃了一本《挪威的森林》。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;評獎的這幫人太狠了，每當錢不夠時，就發給一個無法領獎的人。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;由於新聞聯播在諾貝爾和平獎揭曉的日子竟然隻字不提，劉曉波在獄中一定知道他已經獲得諾貝爾和平獎。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;新華社：中國一名服刑人員在改造期間輕而易舉獲得了諾貝爾獎，充分體現社會主義法制國家的優越性。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;前些日子是全中國人要求日本放人，現在是全世界人要求中國放人。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://inews.mingpao.com/htm/INews/20101011/ca11150i.htm"&gt;原文出自明報即時新聞網，2010/10/11/11:50am&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28369894-9038053268866122894?l=readingreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/feeds/9038053268866122894/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28369894&amp;postID=9038053268866122894' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/9038053268866122894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/9038053268866122894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/2010/10/blog-post.html' title='網民搞笑回應諾獎遭和諧'/><author><name>Alan Yu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613909143295518623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdiM9tlCd-8/TcXJQKh0B-I/AAAAAAAABdU/1rWqlrtFx5U/s220/profile2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28369894.post-1513786206918358078</id><published>2010-10-10T21:18:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-10T21:24:17.152-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Healing'/><title type='text'>CN705 Reading Notes (1)</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;...growth towards wholeness cannot begin until self-deception and self-justification are broken and the self experiences a vulnerability and creates an opening through which real contact with others can occur.

/&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;近日偶然翻開蔡元培先生於一九一七年就任北京大學校長的演說，發現字字珠璣。沒想到差不多一百年前的一篇演說，於今天對香港的大學生仍然十分適用。蔡先生的演講詞有三大重點。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一、抱定宗旨：「諸君來此求學，必有一定宗旨……大學者，研究高深學問者也……所以諸君須抱定宗旨，為求學而來……宗旨既定，自趨正軌。」大學教育並非只為專業訓練，讀大學是為了求知求真理，不應是為「做官」或「致富」。大學的意義，在於培育懂得獨立思考、對社會負責任的人才。前些時曾經和一些大專同學交談，他們告訴我經過高考的洗禮，「人生最困難的日子過去了。現在的我，應該多享受人生，並準備畢業後找一份安定的工作。」以這樣的態度讀大學實在令人有點失望。難怪時下一些大學生不是忙於兼職賺外快，就是無所用心（「潮語」所謂hea），甚或耽於逸樂。其實，大學是我們增進知識學問、擴闊思想領域的地方，大學生理應把握機會，向前輩先進請益，與同儕交流切磋，以求成長進步。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;二、砥礪德行：蔡先生謂：「方今風俗日偷，道德淪喪……諸君肄業大學，當能束身自愛……卓絕之士，以身作則，力矯頽俗，諸君為大學學生，地位甚高，肩此重任，責無旁貸。」隅然讀報，看到大學迎新營的不雅遊戲和淫穢口號等報導，我都覺得不是味兒。大學生的品格和學府的尊嚴，似乎日漸式微。還記得錢穆老師的教誨，新亞書院學規裡的首兩條：「求學與做人，貴能齊頭並進，更貴能融通合一。」「做人的最崇高基礎在求學，求學之最高旨趣在做人。」大家應該念茲在茲，以此為座右銘，追求知識之餘，言行舉止也要合乎禮節。以每年一度的迎新營為例，這是熱心的大二或以上同學為剛入學的學弟妹舉辦的活動，目的是幫助新鮮人盡快適應大學生活，融入大學這個大家庭。只可惜近年來，多所大學迎新營出現的意淫遊戲和粗鄙口號，使這個饒有意義的活動蒙上不雅的形象，甚至惹來傳媒和公眾的非議。我明白迎新營設計的遊戲，原意是讓新鮮人能夠多結識新朋友，而「組爸組媽」帶領「組仔組女」喊口號，無非是為了加強書院和學系的團結精神，用意都是好的。正因如此，同學在組織、參與迎新營的過程中，更應體現大學生應有的素養，懂得互相尊重，互助互愛。迎新營玩樂是需要的，但要玩得有品味，不可以罔顧別人的尊嚴和意願。我衷心希望各院校同學不但把迎新活動辦得多采多姿、盡善盡美，更要以實際行動消除過往外界的非議。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;三、敬愛師友：蔡先生認為大學生對教職員應該「以誠相待，敬禮有加」。今天在美國某些大學，學生變成了「顧客」，是出錢的「消費者」，教師淪為「售課員」。在學生心目中，老師用心備課、講解清晰、筆記詳盡、試題合理都是他們「應有的表現」；但用心上課、恭敬發問、踴躍討論、溫習功課等學生「應有的責任」，卻鮮有人提及。老師的教學評估，由學生打分數；學生不對，老師「不便」指責，在大學裡已經成為風氣。我認為理想的師生關係莫過於「亦師亦友」，老師應該抱有關愛學生之心，但「亦師亦友」的另一面，是為人師表者能夠保持尊嚴，學生則應該保持對老師應有的尊敬。清華大學前校長梅貽琦先生有名言：「所謂大學者，非謂有大樓之謂也，有大師之謂也。」教師樹立楷模，學生自謀修養，這是大學精神之所寄，願與各位師生共勉。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;與相貌平庸的同事相比，他自翊更得一眾女上司「親近、賞識」，一口咬定是整容之功，還一臉陶醉分享心得：「現實社會就是這樣」。&lt;br /&gt;唉，如果我是他上司，真是不炒了他已偷笑。你不介意賣樣，可別令人誤會我貪戀小白臉！&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;世上最可悲的，不是生而平庸，而是甘心相信自己的平庸，是以更超凡不起。整容沒錯，錯在我們都愛把自我價值，交付於一把手術刀上。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;廿歲出頭的男生，天天化妝護膚修眉，理直氣壯反問：「為什麼只有女人才可化妝？不是說男女平等麼？」[...] 在被訪者眼中，男女平等不過是：女人做的男人也可以做，反之亦然。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;我們大聲疾呼「男女平等」，不是為了悍衛同工同酬；不是為了杜絕職場歧視；不是鼓勵家庭責任共同分擔；不是主張兩性相敬如賓，而是因為──「我塊面有暗瘡，所以要化妝」！&lt;br /&gt;用一個冠冕堂皇的理由，去為一件芝麻綠豆的小事說項，這就是我們的水平。&lt;br /&gt;無怪乎有人說當舞小姐是社會體驗；援交是各取所需；謾罵疊聲是言論自由；人多蝦人少即是民主不獨裁。[...]&lt;br /&gt;活在自我的狹小世界，卻把事情放得無限大，如果這就是咱們的質素，也就別怨世界把香港邊緣化了。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;八月十二日早上，港台節目主持人報導前一天(八月十一日)旺角發生了一宗有人企圖跳樓的事件。由於事發在旺角，且是下班時間，消防員除了擺放好氣墊之外，也封鎖了附近幾個路口，故此導致交通大擠塞了幾小時。正當事主想跳而未跳之際，附近已圍攏了一大群看熱鬧的市民，其中有兩個約十六、十七歲的少女，微笑著問對方：「喂，我地係唔係要買定汽水薯條嚟等啊？」聽到這裏，我心裡想：「生女生著呢兩個，寧願生一pat屎！」&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;原來，今天在某些人心中，「跳樓、死亡」已不再可怕、恐怖，看著別人死就等於看獎門人爆氣球、掟蛋糕，或看「福祿壽」扮嘢搞鬼一樣。這樣的人，你怎能期望他們會關心遠在舟曲縣——親人橫死、自己無家可歸、每日以淚洗臉的災民？&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;「&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;你必須先親身經驗苦難，才能體恤和關懷受苦的人。」我從來不相信這話，因為我作為一個男傳道，也懂得關心一個患子宮頸癌的婦女！關鍵在於一顆同理心&lt;/span&gt;，那是必需的。有了同理心，就有同情心，也會有實際的關懷行動。現代人正缺乏了這種同理心，因為我們太習慣自閉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我所說的自閉，是一種以旁觀者看世事的心態，身邊發生的一切，包括親人生病、摯友死亡都只是一場戲，看著這些劇情，當時或有少許興奮、悲傷、忐忑，但不到三分鐘，離開劇場就煙消雲散，再如常過日子。然而，這種自閉的心態卻不是一朝一夕培養出來的，因為我相信每一個小嬰孩生下來都會對外在刺激有反應，他會笑、會哭、會驚慌、會快樂，可是長大了以後，發現自己一次又一次的被大人們拒絕、否定；例如，自己笑，大人們卻說：「不許笑！」或者自己害怕、顫抖，大人們卻說：「怕甚麼？膽小鬼！」或者想問問題，大人們卻說：「這也不懂？笨蛋！以後不許問。」太多這些「不許、不行」在耳邊響起，這個小孩子漸漸把自己所有的情感收起來，不想再碰釘子，結果變成一個「情緒非常穩定」的人。這個時候，他就是自閉了。自閉的人心裡說：「你們不管我的死活，我也不管你們的死活！」他開始看一切世事都只是電影中的一個小片段，不會太緊張、太認真！&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;要解放自閉的人——唯一方法就是，讓他重新認識和承認自己是有感情的，甚至有著澎湃感情的，當他能自如地表達自己內心感情的時候，他才會重新體會別人的愁苦或喜樂。但是，他怎能重新拾回自己的真感覺、重新自如地表達這些感受呢？那就需要旁人的接納了。&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;愛裏沒有懼怕，這正是人與人互相接納的基礎。我想天災是難免的，社會、工作、經濟、政治、家庭等等的壓力也不會短時間內減少，但是如果多一點愛，就能多釋放一兩個「自閉」的人，讓他們更懂得關心自己和關心別人；按這道理，慘劇應該也會減少一些吧？&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我們都需要醫治。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;當時公司招了大批應屆本科和研究生畢業的新新人類。平均年齡25歲。那個新的助理，是經過多次面試後，我親自招回來的一個女孩。名牌大學本科畢業，聰明，性格活潑。私下裡我得承認，我招她的一個很重要的原因，除了她在大學裡優秀的表現之外，還因為她寫了一手漂亮的字。女孩能寫一手好字的不多，尤其像她，看起來長髮飄飄，多麼女性化的一個姑娘，一手字卻寫的鏗鏘倜儻，讓我對她不由多了很多好感。 　　 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;手把手的教。從工作流程到待人接物。她也學的快。很多工作一教就上手。一上手就熟練。跟各位同事也相處的頗融洽。我開始慢慢的給她一些協調的工作，各部門之間以及各分公司之間的業務聯繫和溝通讓她嘗試著去處理。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;開始經常出錯。她很緊張，來找我談。我告訴她：錯了沒關係，你且放心按照你的想法去做。遇到問題了，來問我，我會告訴你該怎麼辦。仍然錯。又來找我，這次談的比較深入，她的困惑是，為什麼總是讓她做這些瑣碎的事情？我當時問她：什麼叫做不瑣碎的工作呢？ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;她答不上來，想了半天，跟我說：我總覺得，我的能力不僅僅能做這些，我還能做一些更加重要的事情。那次談話，進行了1小時。我知道，我說的話，她沒聽進去多少。後來我說，先把手頭的工作做好，先避免常識性錯誤的發生。然後循序漸進罷。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;半年以後，她來找我，第一次提出辭職。我推掉了約會，跟她談辭職的問題。問起辭職的原因，她跟我直言：本科四年，功課優秀，沒想到畢業後找到了工作，卻每天處理的都是些瑣碎的事情。沒有成就感。我又問她：你覺得，在你現在所有的工作中，最沒有意義的最浪費你的時間精力的工作，是什麼？她馬上答我：幫您貼發票，然後報銷，然後到財務去走流程，然後把現金拿回來給您。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;我笑著問她：你幫我貼發票報銷有半年了吧？通過這件事兒，你總結出了一些什麼資訊？ &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;她呆了半天，答我：貼發票就是貼發票，只要財務上不出錯，不就行了唄，能有什麼資訊？ &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;我說，我來跟你講講，當年我的做法吧：９８年的時候，我從財務被調到了總經理辦公室，擔任總經理助理的工作。其中有一項工作，就是跟你現在做的一樣，幫總經理報銷他所有的票據。本來這個工作就像你你剛才說的，把票據貼好，然後完成財務上的流程，就可以了。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實票據是一種資料記錄，它記錄了和總經理乃至整個公司營運有關的費用情況。看起來沒有意義的一堆資料，其實它們涉及到了公司各方面的經營和運作。於是我建立了一個表格，將所有總經理在我這裡報銷的資料按照時間，數額，消費場所，連絡人，電話等等記錄下來。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我起初建立這個表格的目的很簡單，我是想在財務上有據可循，同時萬一我的上司有情況來詢問我的時候，我會有準確的資料告訴他。通過這樣的一份資料統計，漸漸的我發現了一些上級在商務活動中的規律，比如，哪一類的商務活動，經常在什麼樣的場合，費用預算大概是多少；總經理的公共關係常規和非常規的處理方式。等等等等。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當我的上級發現，他佈置工作給我的時候，我會處理的很妥貼。有一些資訊是他根本沒有告訴我的，我也能及時準確的處理。他問我為什麼，我告訴了他我的工作方法和資訊來源。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;漸漸的，他基於這種良性積累，越來越多的交待更加重要的工作。再漸漸的，一種信任和默契就此產生，我升職的時候，他說我是他用過的最好用的助理。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;說完這些長篇大論，我看著這個姑娘，她愣愣的看著我。我跟她直言：我覺得你最大的問題，是你沒有用心。在看似簡單不動腦子就能完成的工作裡，你沒有把你的心沉下去，所以，半年了，你覺得自己沒有進步。她不出聲。但是收回了辭職報告。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;又堅持了３個月，她還是辭職了。這次我沒有留她。讓她走了。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;後來她經常在ＭＳＮ上跟我聊天。告訴我她的新工作的情況。一年內，她換了三份工作。每一次都堅持不了多久。每一次她都說新的工作不是她想要的工作。０５年的時候，她又一次辭職了。很苦惱，跑來找我，要跟我吃飯。我請她去寫字樓後面的商場吃日本料理。吃到中途，忽然跟我說：我有些明白你以前說的話是什麼意思了。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;所謂的職業生涯，其實你很難預測到你將來真正要從事什麼工作，將來所要從事的工作，是否跟你在大學裡學的專業有關。大多數人，很有可能將來所作的工作，跟他當初所學的專業一點關係都沒有。從22歲大學畢業在26歲之間這四年，重要的不是你做了什麼，重要的是你在工作中養成了怎麼樣的良好的工作習慣。這個良好的工作習慣，指的是：認真，踏實的工作作風，以及是否學會了如何用最快的時間接受新的事物，發現新事物的內在規律，比別人更短時間內掌握這些規律並且處理好它們。具備了以上的要素，你就成長為一個被人信任的工作的人。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;人都有惰性，也都願意用那些用起來順手的人。當你具備了被人信任的基礎，並且在日常的工作中逐漸表現出你的踏實，聰明，和細緻的時候，越來越多的工作機會就會提供到你面前。原因很簡單，用一句話就能交代清楚並且能被你順利完成的工作，誰願意說三句話甚至半小時交待一個怎麼都不明白的人呢？溝通也是一種成本，溝通的時間越少，內耗越少，這是作為管理者最清楚的一件事。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;當你有比別人更多的工作機會去接觸那些你沒有接觸過的工作的時候，你就有了比別人多的學習機會，人人都喜歡聰明勤奮的學生，作為管理者，大概更是如此。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;一個新手，大多數新手，在這四年裡，是看不出太大的差距的。但是這四年的經歷，為以後的職業生涯的發展奠定的基礎，是至關重要的。很多人不在乎年輕時走彎路，很多人覺得日常的工作人人都能做好沒什麼了不起。然而就是這些簡單的工作，循序漸進的、隱約的，成為今後發展的分水嶺。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;漫不經心的對待基層工作的最大的損失，就是將看似簡單的事物性處理方式，分界成為長遠發展的能力問題。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;聰明的人，總是不認為自己的能力有問題。時間長了，他會抱怨自己運氣不好，抱怨那些看起來資質普通的人，總能比自己更能走狗屎運。抱怨她容貌比自己好，或者他更會討領導歡心。等等等等。慢慢的，影響心態。所謂的懷才不遇，有時是這種情況。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;工作需要一個聰明人，工作其實更需要一個踏實的人。在聰明和踏實之間，我更願意選擇後者。 &lt;br /&gt;　　 &lt;br /&gt;而踏實，是人人都能做到的。和先天條件沒有太大關係。 &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

/&gt;&lt;LI&gt;若你有甚麼鴻圖大計，還是請你盡早收回，並相信我：對教會來說，這會是件好事。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;你的首要任務是獲取會眾的信任。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;很多時候，這等於說，你要願意比其他人，多走一里路。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;越強調自己和別人（會眾 / 牧者）觀念上的差別，越難獲得信任。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;別人的意見就算多錯（你以為），也要用心的聽。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;你是否有領導能力，在於別人能否在不自覺的情況下，而非會議擂台上，給你改變（或說「擊倒」）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;若是以對立的態度推行變革，歷史稱之為「革命」，沒有幾個是成功的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;這不是有否guts的問題，而是你究竟為了說明自己對、別人錯？還是真的希望教會能有所改變。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;LI&gt;和你視之為「阻住地球轉」的人一樣，你也需要留心聖靈對教會的微聲和帶領。而祂的方式和內容，往往並非如你所料。&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;對不起，因為三言兩語實在不能全然表達清楚我自己以及我的想法，也極怕被斷章取義，所以，我決定自己用文字。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;公司同事Mavis剛給我發短訊，說想我回應安仔分手之事。Mavis善意提醒我：「不用回應得太認真！」我本想推卻，但我深知在這事上，我實在難以飾演事不關己的局外者，於是，我決定一次過在這澄清我的想法，我的內心。而且鄭重而認真的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再一次，由始至終，都未曾再一起過。（外間統稱「復合」）。分手十年八載，這數千日裏頭，如果你問我心底有沒有想過同安仔「復合」這事，我會坦白：「我有。」我確實有。但最終有沒有發生過？沒有。從來沒有。一直也沒有。因這些年月，我們都忠於朋友角色。這裏面有愛嗎？當然。打從我十六歲認識這人，冥冥之中我們就成了彼此生命之中的一個守護者，這廿多年，我們雖不歷劫過大災大難，但事實也共同度過了很多人生高低起跌和悲喜，來到今天，愛情變了情誼，我珍而重之。外間常說我們「復合」，但事實上，要從這接近十年八載的朋友角色撤換回去情侶關係，並非如外間想的如此輕易簡單。分開這麼多年，我們各自經歷了很多，時間大概也讓彼此改變了很多，我和他再也不是廿年前的那個自己，要再走在一起，並不是空憑那個記憶中的對方就可以成事。於外間看來，好像非常簡單而又順理成章的「復合」故事。於我來說（尤其一個女人），這是一場跟幸福攸關的大事，豈能輕率。這十年八載，我碰上過安仔的次數頂多十多次，基本上我很多習性喜愛甚至想法也改變，我猜，我現在喜歡什麼，他又厭惡什麼，都得重新確認。難道就憑廿年前那點點一起的回憶？「復合」，都總得從原點開始。外間難免把「復合」想得太戲劇化了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;安仔與女朋友分手，我沒有資格發言，然而這事上我不能避免成眾矢之首，你問我，我難受嗎？當然、但我可以置身事外飾演局外者嗎？我知道我不可以。我只能讓這事情慢慢褪去。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;談到Michelle，在我記憶之中，只見過一次。就是那次安仔家中BBQ，對於她，認識確實不深，但印象中活潑開朗。由於先天我跟安仔的十多年根基過於深入民心，讓她跟安仔的戀情也處於我的陰影之中，如果我是她，我也會難受。但這些先天性的因素，實在無人能控制。也許這個就是娛樂圈變的大法則，誰和誰曾一起過，總難免會成為彼此一輩子的話題牽繫。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;藝人常希望保有私隱，其實歸根究柢，我們不過想保有自己的內心，鎮守住一些屬於自己的真正想法。外間愈想撕裂它挖個深入探個究竟，我們愈奮力保守這僅餘的一小片天空。這兩天，我一直在家，樓下有全天候緊守崗位的娛樂記者，我沒有外出，我實在需要一個空間去靜靜思考，到底該不該把這僅餘的一片小天空留給自己？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從沒復合，從來也未曾有過什麼求婚，分開多年，要從朋友變回情侶，並不是外界所想像那麼「拎起個篋就行得」這麼簡單。然而我體會到，安仔的分手，從各路的報章筆下，鄭秀文看來責無旁貸。從未復合就發展到如斯地步，我感到透不過氣。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有些關係，我實在驚動不起，也不敢驚動。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;縱使獨居，我偶爾會感受到寂寞，也早習慣了跟寂寞混熟，我斷不會因為寂寞而亂踩入一些不明的狀況。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;可以嗎？可以暫且放過我，放過安仔，放過Michelle嗎?人的情感，總需要時間去處理，療傷，平復。「我、他、她」都不過是個人而已。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;謝謝，不好意思，我跟一些不耐煩的讀者一樣，復合的新聞我也感很煩厭。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;就這樣，一次過，說完。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.上帝，也請別讓我久等，可以嗎？&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;Facebook及Twitter等社交網站愈來愈多，也愈來愈受歡迎。在網絡世界與朋友分享生活大小事，幾乎成了每天例行公事。但最近在某些網站發現很多青少年把自己的裸照，又或與戀人的親密照公諸同好。講到底，父母主導子女大小事，以致他們缺乏自主與保護自己的能力，也可能是原因。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;據循道衛理楊震社會服務處五至六月的調查顯示，受訪的過千名青少年中，&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;每20個便有一個不介意把自己及戀人裸露的親密照片或短片，上載至社交網站。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「當社交網站日趨普及，青少年很容易與網友發展戀情。一旦確認情侶關係，便有很大機會同意把彼此的親密照放上網。」循道衛理楊震社會服務處油尖旺青少年綜合發展中心部門主管趙德財表示。網絡已成為青少年主要的溝通媒介，從前只可以從網絡吸收資訊，但現在更可以出「post」，青少年透過上載親密照，吸引網友回應，以尋求認同及成功感，證明「他是我的」或「我都得啦」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;吸引回應有成功感&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這種「網上分享」近年愈來愈普遍，當這些親密照在友儕間廣泛流傳後，輾轉傳到學校或家長手中，令青少年的「親密關係」曝光，當中不少涉及與網友進行性行為，甚至援交。即使當事人未必打算與網友分享短片，但它們卻會輕易且意外地流出。有個案便因男方模仿色情短片中做愛方式與女友性交，並以手機拍成短片留念，影片中的女方雖然知道被拍卻「無咩所謂」。後來，朋友在男方手機發現短片後，另傳至自己手機再流傳開來，短片成為公開的秘密。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;趙德財提醒，網絡上氾濫的色情資訊，影響時下青少年的性觀念，若經常接觸這些資訊，容易令青少年難以控制自己，部分甚至會瀏覽色情網站成癮，即使下班後「攰到死，都要望一眼先安樂同瞓得着」。 久而久之，更會模仿情慾短片，渴望與異性發生性行為，有少女甚至因好奇而於第一次與網友見面時，即與其性交，更表示「未試過，想試吓」。另外，亦有青少年透過召妓、偷拍或非禮等行為以宣泄慾望。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;性交「佢叫我咪做囉」&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;趙德財分析，青少年從網站上接收的，都是視覺上的官能刺激，只會着重模仿整個性行為的過程，大多數不會考慮其後果，甚至誤信網上的避孕方法，以為可以「免除後患」，誰知這些千奇百怪的方法，例如以保鮮紙代替安全套、射精後女方可跳幾下排出精液，還有以汽水冲洗女方下體等，其實十分荒謬沒根據。問題是根據該處2007年調查所得，近800名青少年中，一半十分依賴並相信網絡上的性資訊，照做的話，反而引來更多問題。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一些少女即使知道如何應用避孕藥或安全套，卻因為避孕藥貴及可能有致肥的副作用而選擇「不設防」。趙德財亦表示，有少女認為「避孕套係男仔嘅事，無準備就體外射精囉」。他更舉例稱，有少女未有任何避孕措施，仍沒拒絕網友提出的性交要求，因為「佢叫我做咪做囉」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他相信，這些青少年因長期由父母管理生活大小事，完全失去自主性，不懂溝通，更不會保護自己，「雖然覺得咁樣（性行為）唔好，但又唔知點算」。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;這次希望分享三位八十後年輕人的求職故事。他們一個是博士畢業；一個是大學畢業及一個是中七畢業。當中兩個失敗，一個成功。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;那位博士畢業生，畢業已半年，一直找不到工作，她的母親向我求助，因孩子只坐在家中發呆、上網、看台劇，不願找工作，一心只想當大學教授，其他的工作總不屑去做。他來教育中心見我，言談間反映他覺得自己接受了高深教育，應該獲得很多人賞識，能在大學覓得教席。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我不便說他太天真，看他的履歷，會考有廿八分，入讀香港名牌大學，更完成博士學位；但在我面前的他，因長時間找不到工作而沒有自信，面試說話技巧更是欠奉。我鼓勵他在考慮大學教席外，也好好考慮應徵其他工作。或許「高不成，低不就」，是我對他的評語。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另一名大學畢業生，應徵通識教師一職，她的履歷表寫得很好，字體很漂亮，但她的面試技巧不好，當我提出所有工作安排時，她戰戰兢兢的聽着，表現得一點信心也沒有。由於她很有誠意，我立刻致電另一所正規學校的通識科主任安排面試，惟她說：「呂Sir，多謝你替我安排面試機會，但我不想當教學助理，人工又低、工作壓力又大，感覺很不舒服。」我強忍怒氣，心想：「你的成績和學歷很好麼，沒有教育文憑、沒有工作經驗，找工作還要配合心情是否舒服嗎？」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我有一位剛大學畢業的朋友，寄出一百四十封求職信，只換來三個面試機會，結果全泡湯。循正途求職而獲得的面試機會率多少，你們知道嗎？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第三位是中七畢業生，她個多月前在某公司當產品推銷員，我和太太看過產品，沒有多大興趣，放下準備離開時，身後隨即傳來推銷員的聲音：「先生，這個產品功能非常好……」。最終我買了那產品，因她很有禮貌，解釋產品清楚之餘，又不會讓我感到壓逼。於是，我邀請她來教育中心當助理。她默默耕耘，派單張沒怨言、周末周日上班也沒怨言、面對家長無理和重複的質詢亦沒怨言，我問她為何能忍受，她說：「工作嘛，學習嘛。」我真的欣賞她的家庭教育。兩天前，我再邀請她轉為全職工作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;各位年輕人，聽過「騎牛搵馬」吧，當不成大學講師，何不嘗試作有關教育的工作？當不成教師，教學助理也是一個踏腳石。若你做得好，一有空缺不就是你的機會嗎？&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

/&gt;不少人留言都提到，對大批中國移民湧入改變本地族裔比例感到「沮喪」(frustrating)，認為「主人翁們」(host population)反而被邊緣化，甚至成為列市的「外國人」，因此有必要像當年的印第安人一樣要求自己的權利受到保護。他們對少數族裔不會說英語及不積極融入主流社會感到憤憤不平。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;還有相當留言指華人才是種族歧視者，用帶歧視性的「鬼佬」稱呼洋人，還有人提到，曾在列市某商場遭到無視，甚至被當面說「這裏不是你的地方，你必須離開」，以及在列市買房亦被排斥。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有網民認為，洋人企業有聘請華人，但華人企業就不願聘請洋人，顯示華人從西方的平等理念中獲利卻不思回報。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不合真理，是因為坦白一點說，講道的目的是為幫助你認識從聖經中啟示的神的計劃，而不是神在聖經中，說了甚麼去幫助你和你的計劃：是你要怎樣加入神的工作，不是祂要如何配合你。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我們會批評某些傳道、同工講道能力之低，卻漠視自己原來連最基本的聽道目的也攪不清楚。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;學滑冰的小朋友，把大腳翹在父母或工人姐姐的大腿上，集體讓成人綁鞋帶，自己無所事事，四處張望，負責綁鞋帶的大人則緊張兮兮，拉扯那緊緊的鞋帶，唯恐錯過上課時間。這些「小朋友」，有的三四歲，也有的十三四歲——理應懂得綁鞋帶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當然，滑冰鞋不同一般上街的鞋子，鞋帶很長，鞋子很緊，必須把腳牢牢地套進鞋裏，然後仔細地把每一格鞋帶拉緊，圈好在鈎子上，如果留下太長的帶子，還要再多綁幾圈，調節長度，結實地綁好。帶子太長，則容易絆倒，綁得太鬆，則可能扭傷腳踝。仔細且嚴謹地綁滑冰鞋帶，是學滑冰的基本要求。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;可是，不論綁這雙鞋帶有多困難，上了課一個月後，每位身嬌肉貴的小王子、小公主，總應該學懂了吧。而且，那些十三四歲還要把大腳伸上父母大腿的天之驕子們，腳丫子長得比老媽的腳更大，還要媽媽綁鞋帶，羞也不羞？那些父母，養成這種孩子，自己又羞不羞呢？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;下課後，「集體翹大腳」的壯觀場面又重現，冰上暢玩後的小朋友皆坐享其成，家長或傭人低頭為他們脫鞋。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這實在說不通！鞋帶綁得不好有扭傷的危險，要大人幫忙還是情有可原；但脫鞋子其實不必什麼技巧，自己慢慢脫，終究可以脫下來吧！為何連脫鞋也要家長幫忙，他們到底羞不羞？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;每星期看到這些學生與家長，總讓我深思良久。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;緊張型家長&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這些家庭的其中一個特色，就是緊張型家長。學生在場中滑冰，家長在旁吶喊，「向前走」、「伸直雙手」、「小心看路」……諸如此類，你一言我一語。他們更喜聚集在溜冰場入口，每當子女滑了一圈經過，總要叫一聲「阿仔」、「阿女」，揮一揮手，其干擾之大，到了可恨的程度。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;試想想，奧運選手劉翔跑步時，如果他的家長在旁吶喊「向前走」、「小心看路」，或在跑道旁尖叫「小翔」、「哈囉」，劉翔可以專心跑步嗎？如果他真的不小心跌倒，就讓他跌倒吧，在場邊尖叫「小心呀！！！」又如何？何不讓他跌倒後自己爬起來？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;「無所謂」子女&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另一特色就是，緊張型家長通常都有「無所謂」子女。家長爭分奪秒怕上課遲到，子女卻慢條斯理，悠然自得。家長在場邊大聲打氣、望眼欲穿，子女在場中卻蓮步姍姍、毫不緊。有的家長甚至在下課後，還向子女訓話「應該站直」、「雙腳用力」等這般那般的道理，子女則無可無不可，一副懶理的表情。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你可以一眼斷定，憧憬滑冰的是家長，而非子女。家長可能為了一張證明書，可能自己童年渴望這機會，可能覺得這運動很「有型」，可能趁假期為子女打發時間，把子女推到冰上。不論原因為何，結果只有一個﹕子女不想滑冰，但父母強迫學習，好好的活動淪為父母子女兩代的戰場。這戰場不局限於溜冰場，戰線可以伸延至琴行、畫室、芭蕾舞學校、數學補習班……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;踏出第一步&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我為家長們惋惜。他們付出金錢、時間，讓子女學習滑冰而非籃球、網球等，正正表達了對這活動的支持。我問他們﹕「既然你覺得滑冰好，為什麼自己不學？」家長說「怕跌」、「老了」、「沒時間」、「做不來」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;又要喜歡，又堅持不肯學，這對子女是什麼榜樣？又或者，自己喜歡，卻強迫不喜歡的子女學習，又是什麼榜樣？當然，我沒資格指摘別人。我也曾是超級緊張型家長，強迫大寶、二寶學滑冰，以致兩代對抗，甚至大吵大鬧，大哭大叫，那混亂的情景歷歷在目。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;現在，你們不再滑冰，我則自己快快樂樂上課，大家各得其所，天下太平。我既老、又怕跌、又沒時間，但尚有勇氣踏出超齡的第一步。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;看着集體翹大腳的小朋友們，我慶幸，不必再幫你們綁鞋帶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;媽媽&lt;br /&gt;2010年6月14日&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;社會分歧若能投射於議會議席裡不斷變動的合縱連橫，透過選票來減少社群裡因權力問題爆發正面衝突的可能，那是民主議會政治造福社會的重要一環。要做到這一點，除了制度的公平，還要有互相尊重的氣度，互相說服的空間。要在價值之爭的當下世代栽種和平，這幾點更形重要──最起碼在民間社會裡，要有這樣的風氣。而這明顯不是近日「非我即敵」的惡毒漫罵之風所能夠相容納的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;對基督徒而言，信仰既教我們曉得尋求那謙卑與神同行的路，也明白人的軟弱與有限，明瞭到真福八端裡的「使人和睦」其實與「飢渴慕義」共行並存。這是一條難行的窄路，要付出的代價也可能不輕。但為了社會的價值走向，為了個人的身體力行，基督徒應切切禱告，求主使用；也使教會群體的生活和見證，足以盛載這一份人生的遠象，公義與憐憫並存。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

Does NOT Have a Wonderful Plan for Your Life……」職場講座上，分享普遍信徒對神指引的迷思，並詳細說明人如何成全上帝的召命。[...] 很多人認為上帝對人生早已預備了整個美好的計劃，史蒂文斯卻指出：「沒有，但上帝有更佳的禮物──美好的目的。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;史蒂文斯先指出幾個關於上帝指引的迷思。一是很多人喜歡等待上帝的回應，替其抉擇，但上帝很多時都不會回答，因為不想我們變成機械人。「生命是充滿抉擇的，且很多時都是從兩件美好的事情中選出一件，其實選擇任何一件都同樣美好。」有些人又會閉上眼睛隨心選或期望以超自然的力量選擇，史蒂文斯指聖經已給予百分之九十五神的指示，剩下的百分之五沒有詳細指引，但最重要是神已給了方向。又有些人害怕自己選擇的並非神的心意，怕是純粹的私慾，但史蒂文斯認為神會把其心意寫在人的生命裡。[...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;史蒂文斯又指出聖靈給予人很大的創意。神造人是為世界帶來改變。「神讓亞當為動物命名，有決定的能力，神不是決定一切所有事情的。」亞當在決定時犯錯了，但神依然讓他做決定。[...] 他肯定地說：「若我們不運用才幹是一種罪，若我們收起我們的夢想，將來要向上帝交代。很多基督徒不夠決斷，不想離開神的旨意。其實若然我們做錯了，神會補救的。神已釋放我們，我們應大膽地做有創意的行動。」&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;不少教會在崇拜時把小朋友「請」離現場，仿佛他們不能與成人一同崇拜。在「聽道至上」的教會文化中，小朋友簡直是一個問題：他們聽不明白講道信息，還會製造噪音影響其他人參與(有時是小朋友太可愛，令家長及喜愛小朋友的會友分心)。所以有些教會選擇讓小朋友在崇拜的「軟性」環節時留下(如詩歌(他們倒愛稱作「敬拜」)、話劇或父親節派禮物時)，在「硬性」環節時，安排另外活動給小朋友，總之要他們消失。有些教會資源充足，可開立兒童崇拜，有齊大人期望一個崇拜應有的環節，還能討小朋友歡喜，有遊戲、手工、茶點等。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我的問題是：為何小朋友不可與大人一起參與整個崇拜？為何崇拜中不可有小朋友的噪吵聲？為何大人總以為自己比小朋友更能貼近神和認識神？&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

proclaim）關注福音的客觀內容（耶穌基督的生、死、復活和神國來臨），變為如何有效地擺佈（effectively manipulate）受眾的反應（讓他們更容易作出決志信耶穌的表示），便會不斷尋求各樣「切入福音話題」的點子──某名流信主，有點子；某藝人信主，也有點子；「驚世大發現」，更有點子。愈夠「驚世」，愈能「借題發揮」，便愈能成為具「普世性、時代性、先知性的傳福音時機」，於是借題發揮可以理直氣壯，大聲疾呼。點子最後被證實是真是假，都不要緊了，我們講佈道的「心」，「比負責任多一點」（讀這文的人須要會意）。我相信，這正是市場化的思維侵蝕了，也主宰了教會的使命。福音，從某個角度看，成了一個等候收購的商品。佈道者完全embody了marketing，完全化身為市場經理，生產佈道會、佈道點子、佈道禮品，一個生生不息的循環。其實用不勞而獲的「免費禮物」作為福音的想像，已經動用了商業與經濟貿易的想像，市場化只是成其究極而己。機構，只是 embody了一種早已存在基督徒宣講的血液裡的異化而已。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;明光社生命及倫理研究中心於六月四日主辦「若沉遇溺：基督徒與成癮行為」研究會，並公佈一項「香港基督徒沉溺行為調查」，有逾一百八十人報名參加。調查結果顯示，過半數受訪男性基督徒每月至少接觸色情資訊一次；另亦有逾一成的受訪男性基督徒至少每月發生婚外性行為一次。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;該項調查是於今年四、五月間透過網絡進行，成功訪問了1094人，女性佔56.3%，33歲或以下人士超過600，基督徒佔899位，大專學歷人士逾500人。陳永浩承認是次調查只屬拋磚引玉的初探，取樣並非隨機，當中界定的「沉溺」亦只屬初步評估。是次調查涉及的五方面包括：網絡、消費、投資、工作和性：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;網絡沉溺方面，五成半受訪基督徒屬健康，一成六屬沉溺甚至深度沉溺，男女程度相若，無顯注分別。但已婚男性則明顯比未婚男性較少沉溺，已婚女性則和未婚女性沒有顯著分別。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;消費沉溺方面，六成半受訪基督徒屬非沉溺，約一成屬沉溺甚至深度沉溺。當中信仰投入度（以參與屬靈活動的數量計算）較高者，非沉溺者明顯較多（七成），信仰投入度較低者則明顯較少（四成四）。投資沉溺方面，在四成有從事強積金及工作以外投資的受訪基督徒中，有七成九被界定為非沉溺，而被界定為沉溺甚至深度沉溺的人則為半成。當中男性又明顯較多沉溺，信仰投入度愈低亦愈多沉溺。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;工作沉溺方面的發現則比較特別：只有3.6%被界定為非沉溺，另有近三成半被界定為沉溺或深度沉溺，即有六成一受訪的全職工作基督徒屬潛在沉溺者，當中未婚者和信仰投入度較低者明顯較多沉溺。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;性沉溺方面，調查發現過半數男性受訪基督徒每月至少接觸色情資訊一次，女性亦有超過一成。每月自慰或性幻想至少一次的受訪男性基督徒亦佔一半以上，女性亦超過兩成。每月至少一次發生婚外性行為的受訪男性基督徒則逾一成，女性亦近半成。總計而言，有六成受訪基督徒屬非沉溺者，一成六則屬沉溺甚至深度沉溺，當中較特別的是信仰投入程度的高低在性沉溺程度上未見顯著分別，在統計學上有分別的只有性別和婚姻狀況兩項（男性、未婚性沉溺比例較高）&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

 [...] Apparently Angelina Jolie cheated on him. Or not. [...] But sometimes when bad things happen to famous people, we get puzzled: How could someone cheat on Brad Pitt? That’s Brad Pitt! [...] If I had Brad Pitt as my man I would forever be happy. I’d never leave the house I would be so in love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[...C]hances are you’ve got another “thing.” Maybe it’s a promotion or a job you secretly believe would magically make life better. Maybe it’s some bill paid off or some neighborhood you want to move to or a million other things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have things. We all have our Super Bowls or Brad Pitts and when we chase them to the exclusion of everything else, we all end up empty. We end up owning $20 million in watches and still feeling depressed. We end up marrying super models and cheating on them. We end up with shiny toys that lose their shine the second they’ve been “caught.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to all of that, God says “I’ve got this.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over and over in the Bible he doesn’t hide what’s what when it comes to being satisfied. He doesn’t play around when it comes to contentment. He doesn’t waste his time or your time with things. In Psalm 103, he’s described as the God who: “satisfies your desires with good things”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve been stuck on that chapter for a while now and the thing I love about this particular verse is the word, “your.” Do you see what that means for you and me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We serve a personal God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We serve an individual God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn’t say, “who satisfies desires with good things.” It doesn’t say he satisfies a bunch of desires from a nameless bag of desires and everyone gets the same and they just have to deal with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not at all. The desires he meets. The things he touches. The places he speaks to. They are yours. Yours as in customized to who you are and who you’ll always be. They are not one size fits all. They are one size fits me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think when we forget that, I think when we start serving a faceless, corporate God, we lose touch with the personal, intimate relationship that is available. I think we start feeling that when we give our lives to God he is going to turn us into the opposite of who we currently are. If you’re a writer, he’s going to make you study calculus. If you love people, he’s going to make you become a solitary nun. If you hate missions, he’s going to instantly send you to Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But maybe we’re wrong. Maybe it’s time to forget Brad Pitt. Forget the job or degree you think is going to change your life forever. Maybe it’s time to forget the faraway, impersonal God. Maybe the guy who created your thing, the guy who hid it where not even a super model or an astronaut could find it, maybe he wants to show you want it’s all about. Maybe he is more 1 to 1 than we can possibly imagine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long live our personal God.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;「明哲保身」正叩我心門，求祢為我開一條出路。「戀棧權位」欲牽我衣袖，求祢讓我看清祢才是保障。求祢恩待我們：作祢忠僕，清心播道，成為港福。阿們。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;感謝上主在這城還存留不少殷實商人，懂經營之道，也知人的尊貴。求祢保守他們的道路亨通，免受「廿蚊張」的誘惑。至於貪贓枉法、官商勾結，甚或侵佔土地者，我們全交在祢的五指之內。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;讀著「回歸基督精神同盟」的《我們的二○一○全球禱告日禱文──回轉歸向父親的心》，心裡不安。我不完全認同「全球祈禱日」大會的手法，但也不完全認同示威者的立場。沒錯，「沒有記念受苦者，就是忘記受苦的基督」；但同樣，沒有站在罪人的旁邊代他認罪，就是忘記為罪人而死的基督。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;尼希米求主復興以色列，是站在犯罪的先祖的一方向神認罪，雖然他從來未曾參與那些罪，但他identified with罪人。耶穌基督在十字架上，同樣為逼害他的人求寬恕。祂被釘，是identified with犯罪的人，代他們死。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;上述的禱文叫我不安的地方，是我看不見solidarity - 不只是identify with那些弱小的，也是要identify with那些犯罪的，就是在他們口中的那些高官商賈。他們和他們其實又有何分別？在主眼中不過同是蒙憐恤的罪人。我們一邊要大聲勇敢地指責一切的不公義和黑暗（這他們做到了），但是在禱告的時候，仍然要與他們站在一起，把彼此的罪擔起，求主憐憫，而不是劃清界線，自以為義。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;求主憐憫我們。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='html'>最近我為本地一間教會的青年團契主領了一個講座，主題是貞潔。教會團契的導師特別囑咐我談談失腳者如何從罪中回轉。當晚過後，我收到他們的電郵，請我盡快回去再講一堂。所以兩個月後，我又回到了該團契。當天除了更深入地解釋上次未夠時間觸及的題目，還花了好些時間來為其中的弟兄禱告 (姊妹方面由我另外一位女同工負責)。他們一個一個來到我面前，吞吞吐吐的坦白說出自己的罪，卻堅決的表示要悔改。他們許多人在禱告的時候都哭了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;性罪是一種寂寞的罪，因為你不敢在人前承認你有自瀆、上色情網站、婚前性行為、一夜情甚至召妓的習慣，恐怕會在教會內身敗名裂，所以只好有苦自己知，躲起來苦苦掙扎。但是，性沉溺幾乎從來不能獨自成功處理；有效的方法往往要借助守望小組(accountability group) 的監控和鼓勵。向別人承認自己的罪和沉溺，是得醫治復修的開始。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;目前我正帶領一個由幾位年青的弟兄組成的性沉溺守望小組。他們都曾經獨自為自己的罪苦苦掙扎，用盡了一切方法都無法脫身，結果才鼓起勇起參加小組。他們第一次在人面前承認自己的沉溺時，不少都眼泛淚光聲音抖顫；但經過了兩個月他們都已踏上復修之路。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;脫離沉溺，是十分勞動密集 (labour intensive) 的事工，我一個人才照顧得了幾個人。但教會內被性罪捆綁的人何其多！我們要多少資源才能釋放這些弟兄？更甚者，有許多教會跟本不肯面對會友的性罪，任其掩藏在聖潔外表的背後。我們一天不正視教會的性沉溺問題，恐怕一天都很難看見復興。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;從「六七」到「六四」到「五一六」，連串數字訴說著香港一段段歷史。縱然這些年間，因著政治原因，這些事件在官方監視下有與真相迥異的說法，但必須告訴你們這一代，事實不容抹煞，更不容以花俏的門面工夫扭曲篡改。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;說一件更遙遠的事。一九五八年，日本作家山崎豐子以《花暖簾》奪得直木獎，這是和芥川獎並列的小說大獎，所不同的，芥川獎是給純文學作品而直木獎則是給社會小說。山崎豐子在領獎時說了一番到今天仍如晨鐘暮鼓的說話，「我好像寫不來盆景似枝葉綽約的小說，也不想寫。想寫的是造林小說，如同一株一株在禿山上植樹造林。對於我來說，我覺得從養育自己的風土中凝視人，是為確實有把握的方法」。山崎豐子以自己的寫作生命作為這段說話的證言，為日本社會敲響了警鐘。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;深澀了些嗎？山崎豐子追逐的是一種大歷史觀，而不是捨本逐末的枝葉，她追求歷史長河裏的深邃視角。你們應該好好掌握這一能力，不致讓一時三刻的假象及枝節蒙騙。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;各国群众纷纷表示：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;英语：“It is Greek to me!”（“简直就是希腊语！”）&lt;br /&gt;南非语：“Dis Grieks vir my!”（又是希腊语）&lt;br

det rene volapyk for mig.”（“对我来说这纯粹是沃拉普克语。 ”这句话太强了，我去google了一下才搞清楚：沃拉普克语（Volapük）是人工语言较成功的第一个，是世界语的先驱。）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最后是最强大的一个说法：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;汉语：“简直就是听天书！” 中国人民不尤人只怨天，只有上帝才能制服汉语

/&gt;萊昂斯與同事調查了約2.4萬名年齡介乎18至27歲的大學本科生﹐詢問學生對職場晉升及薪酬的期望﹐以及他們喜歡的工作特性。[...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;研究發現﹐這代人期望的起始薪酬約4.3萬元﹐萊昂斯認為這相當務實。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但受訪學生認為一旦找到入門工作﹐預計5年內年薪可飈升至大約7萬元。七成人認為﹐工作1年半後可獲升職﹐連學習成績較差的學生亦預期很快獲加薪升職。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;萊昂斯說﹐要實現這樣高的期望有點不可思議。他不明白年輕人為何期望30歲就過上舒適生活﹐他認為﹐這些想法可能受電視及其他傳媒愚弄。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;縱使當下對80後已有很豐富的討論，但我想提出三個觀察。第一，他們的公民意識相對地比我成長時代的人強。他們以理性討論，並有勇氣挑戰權威。這有賴學校公民教育的成功。老師們的努力應記一功。第二，80後不只問生存，更問生活。他們對生活是有抱負的，而非只是一群飽受挫折的青年人。他們的抗議，不是一種泄憤，而是一份對香港社會的感情。這份感情正連繫不同時代的人走在一起。可惜的是，這連繫有時反幫不了忙，因為50後和60後，甚至70後有太多想當年。近日一齣電影《歲月神偷》就是一例。第三，除了需要有清晰理念和框架外，動員是社會運動另一個重要因素。科技網絡的發展確實有助推動社會運動，但同時，它也製造新形式的社會運動，即形形式式不同社會運動同時的出現。這分散式的社會運動沒有削弱社會運動的焦點，反而促進公民社會的多樣性，甚至帶出社會不同面貌。2003年71遊行就是一例。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;教會的培育是否滿足這一代青年人？從我所參與的facebook社群和網誌世界，我擔心教會與以上所描述一類的青年人越走越遠。或許，教會並不覺得這是問題，因為聽話的和順服的留下教會就可以了。[...] 然而，現實是聽話和順服的青年人也在教會不見了，因為昔日的管治已不奏效了。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><title type='text'>Open Source 的創作國度</title><content type='html'>甚麼是抄襲？這是一篇發人深省的討論。不只在烹飪界，在其他界別也可以有open source的創作空間嗎？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;一道菜的做法有沒有所謂的「著作權」？ 嗯… 如果我們談的是經典菜式如麻婆豆腐和東坡肉，應該沒有人會擔心侵犯到陳麻婆或蘇東坡的「智慧財產」，更別說那些數不清的傳統家常菜 。不過當代廚藝大師的創意菜式就不同了。這類精緻的「Fine-dining」料理無論在技巧、口味與佈局上都講究個人風格，以至於關注廚界動態的明眼人一看就知道哪道菜出自哪個人或流派（就像武功和書畫一樣）。尚無能力開發自家菜式但又志向遠大的廚師們通常從參考大師的作品著手，最終成品究竟是虛心的臨摹還是無恥的仿效，往往就在一線之間。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;幾年前在澳洲就發生了一場震驚國際廚界的抄襲事件。當時年輕的廚師Robin Wickens忽然以黑馬之姿現身墨爾本，打著「分子料理」的旗幟在自家餐廳玩起當地前所未見的手法，每晚端出新穎眩目的菜式，廣獲媒體讚揚。Wickens的名聲漸傳漸遠，終於有人發現他餐廳網站上刊登的食物照片… 「咦！怎麼跟芝加哥名廚Grant Achatz和紐約名廚Wylie Dufresne的作品一模一樣？」打抱不平的好事者馬上把Wickens的仿作和名廚原版照並排刊登於專業廚藝人士的網上社群 「eGullet」， 唾棄聲頓時四起，大家也發現原來Wickens不久前才在Achatz的餐廳裡做過一個星期的無償實習（也就是所謂的「Stage」，要用法語發音「思塔日」）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;抨擊聲浪同時引發了一番深思與辯論。有人說廚藝的發展本是一種演化過程，互相仿效無可避免，甚至是進步的基礎，而廚界通用的 Stage 制度正是鼓勵這種資源開放和教學相長的風氣，所以無需太過苛責Wickens 的作為。不過更多的人認為，仿效和引用固然是良性的學習方式，一聲不吭的全盤移植就像寫作時逐字逐句的複製他人卻又不打引號也不標明出處一樣，是不道德的抄襲行為。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有人提到在八〇年代初，日本的西廚界也曾大幅複製法國新派料理（Nouvelle Cuisine）的當紅菜式，引起法國廚界強烈不滿。當時兩位在馬德里甫開餐廳的西班牙廚師有鑒於此，決定紀錄他們烹飪的靈感來源，並將每道非原創菜色之總售量1.25%的盈餘逐月寄給八位對他們影響深遠的法國名廚（包括Bocuse、Guerard 與 Troisgros 等人），以示敬意。接下來幾個月他們陸續接到每位大廚的回函，信中紛紛表示很榮幸成為被學習的對象也感謝對方的誠意，同時退還支票，甚至邀請這兩位西班牙廚師到法國作客。由此可見&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;廚藝的仿效本身無罪，誠意和企圖才是廚師們在乎的重點。 &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;抄襲事件的「受害者」Achatz 事後表示他已受到 Wickens 的道歉信，不打算追究。他認為「技術」應是開放的，也因此他下班後常在eGullet網站上搜尋資訊並分享最新研發的手法和心得，但他說「菜色」的創作不一樣，那是個人風格的呈現，因此具有不成文的著作權。比方說他本人曾在名廚 Thomas Keller 的門下做了多年的副手，對後者的菜系了若指掌，「但我會在自己的餐廳裡賣 Keller 著名的『蠔與珍珠』（Oysters and Pearls） 嗎？當然不。那沒有意思嘛！」&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;這其中牽涉的不是法律規範，純粹是廚師的自尊自重。&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;也有人跳進來說，別吵了，大家申請食譜專利不就好了嘛！這種說法很快就受到各方駁斥，首先因為執行不易，每個國家的專利權只能在該國境內發揮保護作用，而且控告侵權昂貴又麻煩，一般廚師不可能有閒暇餘力付諸行動。但更重要的是，廚師們普遍認為知識是公家的，如果廚藝的資訊和手法到處受版權限制，整個行業都會因此停滯不前。&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;廚師們習慣的學習環境有點像電腦世界裡 Linux 這樣的 open source 開放系統，人人得以免費下載，並在使用的過程中予以修正改進，方便自己也造福大家。&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;沒看到西班牙的分子美食大師－El Bulli 餐廳的主廚 Ferran Adria 每年出版一本食譜，把自己團隊辛苦研發的技術和菜式開誠佈公的分享給大家嗎？這種做法在惟利是圖的商場上可能顯得很奇怪，但對於技術與風格同時並進的精英廚師們來說，卻是業界奉行的準則。在我看來，一場智慧財產的剽竊鬧劇不但沒有傷了廚界的尊嚴，反而凸顯了這個行業最值得引以為傲的開放精神和榮譽感呢！&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

try，我欣賞。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. 這個blog，第1000個post了。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

那政黨主席質疑商業機構的從業員見錢開眼，跟質疑阿媽是女人一樣。他們論點是這樣的：有錢的政黨，有多點資源使用媒體，對沒有錢的政黨「不公平」。狀況就像幼稚園的學生，一個有一支新鉛筆，沒有新鉛筆的人說：「你為什麼你有一支鉛筆？這樣不公平！」&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;如果香港是有錢人買什麼都可以，有政黨打傳媒戰，我希望那些爭取公道的人，都會捋起衫袖狠狠的去打一場。那位政黨的主席用紅衛兵式的口氣、手勢、表情、姿態要求一個商業機構改變一些商業決定，是商業社會中合理的行為嗎？借林夕語，以不公道的方法爭取回來的所謂「公義」，又是不是公義？如果政府決定幫有錢的政黨忙，要修改廣播條例，容許政黨在傳媒賣廣告。沒有錢的政黨扯破嗓門說賣東西的「不合理」，壓根兒就是不合商業邏輯的做法。他們應該處理的，是為什麼有錢的政黨會變得有錢。他們要開拓的，是水源，而不是眼紅別人為什麼有錢。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;賺錢就是唯一硬道理，這是香港的核心價值，真實的「香港精神」。[...] 在香港，大部分人都不希望跟錢鬥。風骨，不可以供樓，也不可以當飯吃。各位看倌，你說電台做得不好，決定公祭什麼人，請什麼人食蛇羹，我倒希望各位忠實聽眾，問一問自己，你如何改變香港人只看錢的核心價值？&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;特首曾蔭權以動畫作為農曆新年賀辭。動畫的主題為「回家真好」，全長三十秒，卡通化的曾蔭權和港人熟悉的麥兜同場出現，向市民拜年。片段播出後惹來網民不滿，認為麥兜被曾蔭權「騎劫」或「抽水」。有人於facebook建立名為「拯救麥兜 反對賣仔」的群組，指麥兜的原作者謝立文和麥家碧此舉是為錢而「出賣靈魂」。&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;客觀地看，動畫本身氣氛溫馨，與政治沾不上邊，實是無傷大雅，可是仍然招來抨擊，這是對特區政府的一個警號：市民對政治化妝已非常反感。更何況，這次牽涉其中的麥兜不單是一個普通的動畫人物，還是一個重要的文化符號。&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;文化評論人林沛理寫道：「香港人除了深信賺錢至上、地產萬歲的『中環價值』之外，還不自覺地認為，應該讓被社會標籤為失敗者的失業者、低收入人士和弱勢社群自生自滅。」麥兜正好就是後者的象徵，是拜金社會中的「他者」，是「中環價值」下的犧牲品。麥兜代表了「中環價值」的反面，我們大可稱之為「麥兜價值」。&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;麥兜性格樂觀，同時帶點單純及憨厚，志願是做OL（因為不用穿褲子）。家住大角咀的舊樓，成長於單親家庭，家境貧窮。面對逆境時不會自怨自艾，反而樂觀面對，相信「船到橋頭自然直」。實在是不少草根階層的縮影。於是，麥兜漸漸成為了港人的自我心理投射對象，港人也把麥兜當成家人、朋友和鄰居，也把謝立文和麥家碧當成站在自己一方的同路人。&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;回歸後上映的三部麥兜動畫電影，實際上反映了港人的心理變化。二零零一年的《麥兜故事》是一貫以傻勁對抗逆境和失望的故事；二零零四年的《麥兜菠蘿油王子》則充滿對現實的無奈和對過去的懷緬，格調沈鬱；二零零九年的《麥兜響噹噹》主攻大陸市場，背景也由香港遷到國內，講述麥兜和母親麥太像部份港人一樣北上尋找「機會」和「商機」。&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;但是，「麥兜價值」同樣代表了平庸主義：不求上進，只求「搵兩餐」、面對不公義的制度，不會反抗，只會逆來順受。現在，港人和麥太更學會投機，為經濟利益而違背當初的原則。所以，部份觀眾看過新年賀辭後感到氣憤，除了因為討厭曾蔭權，也是因為見證了麥兜走了港人自己不願走的路，心裡感到被出賣及遺憾。而今天謝立文和麥家碧所作的選擇，也可能是自己將來所被逼要走的路。這種反感，是同時對於原作者和自我本身的反感。&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;雖然身為一個藝術家，是無需考慮什麼政治與道德包袱，但有時候成為「工匠」與「大師」之間的分別，就取決於良心與金錢之間的一瞬抉擇。村上春樹說：「在高大堅硬的牆和雞蛋之間，我永遠站在雞蛋那方。無論高牆是多麼正確，雞蛋是多麼地錯誤，我永遠站在雞蛋這邊……若小說家無論何種原因，寫出站在高牆這方的作品，這作品豈有任何價值可言？」&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;如果你看過片段後感到憤怒，恭喜你，這表示你已拋棄「中環價值」及「麥兜價值」，這表示一種新的價值正在誕生──一種拜金主義和平庸主義以外的新價值觀。麥兜沒有變，變的是你。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;為了應付冬奧期間的需求，色情業人士早已開始準備，大量招聘「新血」，甚至因為應聘女郎太多要「集體面試」；有華裔網站更表明以中國富商為目標，「接待」的「姐妹」可以獲得5萬加元。另有許多年輕女子也從全國甚至世界各地湧入，包括傳聞加國淫業中頂級收費，每小時逾萬元的「四大金花」，各出奇招拉客，希望能在奧運期間分一杯羹。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;本報去年率先披露，由本地華裔女子組成的「包養網站」在沉寂多時後，近期在冬奧前又再度高調運作，針對冬奧「商機」全力搶客。該網站負責人指已經聯繫中國來看冬奧賽事的富商，呼籲「姐妹」們把握機會「接待」這些人。據稱只要在冬奧比賽及前後時間內接受富商包養，20天便可獲得5萬加元的收入。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;一間伴遊服務負責人曾對本地英文傳媒透露，近期平均每星期會收到逾百張女性「入行申請表」，求職女子來自全國各地，她們被迫要分組進行「集體面試」來過濾應徵者。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;隨著尋芳客大量湧入，淫業「肉金」價格也水漲船高。原本120加元可以得到45分鐘的性服務，現在縮減為15分鐘，等於漲價3倍。據了解，一些高級伴遊服務的價格，甚至暴增至每小時400加元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一間全國最大的伴遊服務公司更發出緊急召集令，要求旗下被稱為「四大金花」的4名頂級伴遊女郎到溫市，於冬奧期間提供每小時逾萬加元的「頂級VIP服務」。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;本地一間按摩院負責人透露，業界已經從酒店門僮等得到消息，指奧運期間本地淫業可能會「繁忙千倍」。為了因應從全球各地湧入的尋芳客，她已增聘10名服務員、保安人員、調酒師，並延長營業時間。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

原因也許是，太過「上帝就是答案」，太過「信耶穌得永生有喜樂」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不是說這是錯，不是說這有什麼不對，甚至不是說這些歌曲沒有關懷世界。從此岸踏進彼岸，這些快樂都是真實的，眼界忽然打開的興奮也是真實的，甚至被耶穌基督的愛與恩情擁抱，也是真實的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;只是，信耶穌這麼多年，信仰的真正考驗不在於如何成為基督徒，而是成為基督徒後，如何經歷「懷疑、押上、再確認」這段旅程。經歷再確認，其中所見證的興奮，往往比初成為基督徒時深刻百倍；不過要經歷再確認，卻又無可避免地要經歷懷疑的風險。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這也是我對許多流行的中文福音歌的感覺，就是當中的信仰太少歷煉。願我們有多一點生命深度的創作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pakkin.blogspot.com/2010/01/blog-post_25.html"&gt;原文出自Pakkin@Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;【明報專訊】台灣    在2008年共有4200人自殺身亡，其中約20%是以燒炭結束生命，僅次於懸樑自盡者，為了防範有意輕生者買炭自殺，全台逾萬間超市、大賣場售貨員對於只是前來買炭的顧客，會作出友善提醒：「為什麼沒有買肉啊」！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;台灣自殺防治學會理事長李明濱說，2002年以後，燒炭已成為25至44歲青壯年最常採用的自殺方式，2005年後更是15至24歲群族主要自殺手法。衛生署    前天與7-11、家樂福、頂好等逾萬家連鎖商店合作，從昨天起，顧客如只購買炭，結帳時收銀機就會顯示出「適時關懷、珍惜生命」的文字，提醒店員留意購買者的神情，並作出友善提醒。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;衛生署長楊志良說，若民眾只買炭卻沒買肉，可詢問他為何沒買肉，或詢問家中是否要烤肉等，若對方回答「日子都過不下去了，烤什麼肉」，就要提供熱線並適時轉介，希望能及時挽回一條生命。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is creative!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><title type='text'>面對死亡的幽默感</title><content type='html'>我想，面對人生的苦難，真的需要有一些幽默感。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;有次睇電視，某劇集講有個退休輔導員收到電話，然後有下面的回應：&lt;br /&gt;“Hello?”&lt;br /&gt;“He is not here, please don’t call back,”&lt;br /&gt;“because he is dead, he died a year ago…”&lt;br /&gt;跟著，她滿眼通紅繼續望著電腦發呆…&lt;br /&gt;我睇到呢度就想起將來我老婆會唔會同樣面對呢D電話，因為總有機會有朋友唔知我死咗，總有機會D “sales”如安信兄弟會打嚟揾我，總有機會D乜乜市場調查會打嚟話阻你幾分鐘，亦總有機會某教會以為你未死又請你講道。&lt;br /&gt;如果你係我老婆，你會點答？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我寫呢篇blog嘅時候，老婆正高牀軟枕，無機會問佢。望住佢個樣，我就幻想有幾個可能性：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. “sales” ＋市場調查 —我老婆一定好唔老脾講：「我老公死咗，請你以後唔好打嚟！」點知班友唔識死，隔兩日換人再打過，我相信我老婆會好火上足子彈鬧到佢地狗血淋頭：「你地short㗎！講咗幾多次我老公死咗，你地仲打嚟，你姓乜，我要同你上司講…你地咁鐘意揾我老公，我真係好想我老公今晚嚟揾你，嘿嘿……」其實，我要多謝佢地提供一個俾我老婆發洩的機會，只能夠講佢地唔好彩。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. 朋友—我相信都會細分兩種：&lt;br /&gt;       2.1 我地兩公婆都識嘅話，就應該好客氣講：「陳榆去咗喇！」若你追問：「吓，幾時走㗎？」我諗我老婆都會交待多一D，不過就會越講越喊，因為講電話其實似告解，見唔到個樣會容易流露情緒。&lt;br /&gt;       2.2 如果只係我識個D，咁除了好客氣講：「陳榆去咗喇！」你再問，可能佢唔會答你，因為我老婆都怕重複自己。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. 講道邀請—應該係咁：「對唔住，幫唔到你，佢死咗咯！」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. 追債—我老婆一定講：「佢死咗，你地去天堂揾佢啦，我乜都唔知！」&lt;br /&gt;不過，以我老婆性格喺我死咗之後應該不時會去旅行散心，咁聽電話的責任應該落到我D仔女同印傭手中：&lt;br /&gt;      A. 大仔—佢不嬲簡潔，回覆應該只係：「佢死咗，拜拜！」&lt;br /&gt;      B. 二女—佢就抽象少少：「老豆呀，唔知係死咗定瞓咗…」&lt;br /&gt;      C. 三女—最過癮：「陳生？有兩個，一個就死咗，一個仲係度，你揾邊個呢？」&lt;br /&gt;      D. 印傭—用唔鹹唔淡廣東話：「驅西咗（佢死咗）！」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;原來人死真係唔會燈滅，手尾仲會好長…過癮！&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/salt_salt_fish/article?mid=1190"&gt;原文出自陳榆blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;原來今年是九廣鐵路的一百週年，作者紀曉風認為是值得慶祝的盛事。然而，報導卻指港鐵為了鞏固本身的企業品牌而刻意低調處理，以致九鐵一百周年「只得一百萬元『慶祝費』，即是每年只得一萬元。」報導更指這一次更不是港鐵第一次的「去九鐵化」，去年九龍南線通車的時候，有前九鐵員工的兒子，興奮地穿上爸爸的舊制服乘坐列車慶祝。港鐵卻彷如誅殺前朝餘孽一樣，即時派員要求對方脫下制服，並且沒收。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;在替高鐵爭辯時口口聲聲說需要跟內地接軌，但卻同時對香港早跟內地接了的軌視而不見。如果港鐵要獲得港人對高鐵的認同，喚醒大家對香港鐵路文化的興趣是必然要做的事。[...] 港鐵未能對九廣鐵路的歷史作出擁抱，就說明高鐵在他們眼中只是一道生財的工具，一堆沒有故事的鋼鐵。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;政府說要發展六大產業，文化創意也是當中之一。[...] 人和人之間的聯繫，這就已經是我們的文化環境。身邊事物背後帶著的一切價值和含義，這就已經是我們的文化內容。如果這一點一滴在我們的城市發展過程中也斷送了，我們為下一代留下來的，恐怕就只有悲歌。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我家與鐵路頗有淵源，故更感唏噓。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

唐人劉餗《隋唐嘉話》卷上﹕「平陽公主聞高祖起義太原，乃於鄠司竹園招集亡命以迎軍，時謂之娘子兵。」&lt;br /&gt;（2）指軍隊反正，以從義師。周立波《暴風驟雨》第二部二六﹕「蕭隊長接說道﹕『中央軍』插翅也飛不過來了，除非起義，投降，或是做俘虜，他們別想過來了。」&lt;br /&gt;（3）指顯露文意。晉杜預《春秋經傳集解序》﹕「一曰微而顯，文見於此，而起義在彼。」 明郎瑛《七修類稿．詩文類卷三十九．富字義非》﹕「《禮記·祭義》註曰﹕臣能世祿曰富，未嘗以田字起義。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;台灣教育部所編的網上詞典《國語詞典》亦甚通行，「起義」條亦收兩義﹕&lt;br /&gt;（1）為正義而起兵。三國演義．第一回﹕「漢朝自高祖斬白蛇而起義，一統天下。」&lt;br /&gt;（2）作文時，樹立一義以發其凡。晉人杜預《春秋左氏傳序》﹕「一曰微而顯，文見於此，而起義在彼。」&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;「詞義演變」有3條「基本法」﹕擴大、縮小和轉移。以「黨」字為例，古代漢語的「黨」字，既指「朋黨」或「因利害關係而結成的小團體」，例如《論語》所說的「吾聞君子不黨，君子亦黨乎？」有偏袒、偏私之意，又如「結黨營私」、「狐群狗黨」，都是貶義；時至今日，「黨」字在內地兼具「政黨」和專指「共產黨」兩義；在台灣，則兼有政黨與執政黨（國民黨、民進黨）兩義。在不同社會，除了政黨，還指非法團夥，諸如拆白黨、補藥黨三Ｋ黨、童黨。另一個具體詞例是「黃大仙」，本來專指一名「仙人」，後轉義為供奉該「仙人」之寺廟，再轉義為地區名，以及地鐵站名。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;「起義」原義是「為正義起兵」，其後有「起一義以發其凡」的變義，由文章起義轉化為生活與文化起義，俯拾皆是，最近有人舉列10項流行「起義」﹕（1）早餐起義（遊戲）、（2）戀愛起義（電影）、（3）時尚起義（時裝購物網）、（4）綠色生活起義（環保網站）、（5）青春起義（Facebook組群）、（6）音樂起義（音樂大賽）、（7）文化起義（書名）、（8）劇場起義（劇場活動）、（9）創作起義（創作市集）、（10）樂．色起義（垃圾桶設計比賽）。&lt;br /&gt;還有人借鄧小平領導的「百色起義」轉義為屏幕的色彩起義（MAG），意即百種色彩起義；「生活起義」（網站）……內地學者陳義華著有《後殖民知識界的起義》一書，借鑑南亞「庶民學派」的論述，在全球化語境下，重新思考邊緣族群的生存處境。&lt;br /&gt;「詞義」大致可以分為「基本義」、「一般義」、「本義」、「後起義」、「基礎義」、「引申義」等觀念。此其一。「基礎義／引申義」，「本義／後起義」，「基本義／一般義」，乃3對根據不同標準劃分出來的「詞義類型」。此其二。&lt;br /&gt;這就是「詞義轉移」﹕由甲義轉到乙義，甲、乙兩義雖可能有一定的關連，但已分屬不同的範疇。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;撰文論「革命」與「起義」，並不是要支持公、社兩黨的「全民公投」，而是為詞義辯誣，為中文解毒（借用陳雲書名），不欲普羅市民誤信「左蠢」。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;文字，是一個很重要的戰場。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;There's no doubt: The iPad is a beautiful, extremely well-designed device. So why am I worried?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The iPad runs the iPhone OS and uses the iTunes App Store. That means that it will have a large selection of applications ready to go when it hits the shelves in March, but it also means that Apple will be the sole source of the applications, deciding what can and what can't run on the device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lots of people dislike that aspect of the iPhone experience, but I can't say that I was terribly bothered by it. [...] But the iPad isn't a phone; it is a general purpose computer. It does email and Web and documents and presentations and games and all of the other kinds of things we do with our "regular" computers. Yet it will suffer under the same restrictions as the iPhone--prohibition of any application that Apple doesn't like, for whatever reason. Sometimes that means the application uses undocumented features, but startlingly often it just means "duplication of features"--the application does something that Apple's own software does, but does it differently. (This raises the uncomfortable question as to whether the Kindle app for the iPhone--which works quite nicely, actually--will run on the iPad.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is problematic to me for a couple of reasons. The first, and simplest, reason is that it narrows the scope of innovation. The main reason why the personal computer--including the Mac--served as a catalyst for economic and social transformation was that it was open to every imaginable use. The only limits came from hardware capacity and code complexity, not arbitrary restrictions. The iPad, as swoopy and neat as it may seem, won't trigger a similar revolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this is just the iPad, right? So Apple wants to shoot itself in the innovation foot in order to maximize control. That doesn't affect my other machines. Right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now. The second reason this worries me is that successfully shifting one general purpose computer to a world of controlled software may lead to similar restrictions showing up on other kinds of general purpose hardware. I don't want to wake up one day and find that the next version of the Mac OS (or Windows, for that matter) will only run "approved" software.&lt;br /&gt;Okay, slippery slope arguments always curve towards hyperbole, and I really don't think that the next version of any mainstream OS is going to be restricted like that. But the version after the next one?&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/jamais-cascio/open-future/iworry"&gt;原文出自Fast Company by Jamais

/&gt;不足為奇的。因為歷史告訴我們，此舉從來奏效。六七暴動後，文娛活動換來了一時平靜。九七大限前，政府講得最多的，不是港人治港高度自治，而是「馬照跑舞照跳」。每有民怨，政府的殺手鐧，不是處理制度，是派糖。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;是以當天寒地凍，大眾都在打邊爐穿羽絨，一群年輕人竟披着薄衣廿六步一跪神情肅穆去苦行；當大眾連新聞中的立法會片段也未必有耐性看，「80後」竟平靜而有秩序地坐於立法會外，專心看畢全程直播；當社會人人都立場鮮明而分析欠奉，「80後」仍在原始地讀資料，去信報章抽絲剝繭述說訴求背後的基礎和理據；這份歇斯底里的認真，把以大家長自居的政府，迫埋了牆角。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;是執着，也是控訴。「80後」不信政府不信政黨不信團體不信制度，不要功名利祿不望昇官發財不求小恩大惠，一份激情，只為用自己的方法做相信的事。這種借助社會參與去達致的自我體現，早己超越皇后天星高鐵菜園村的爭嗌本身。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;遇上不按理出牌的「80後」，政府露了底。黔驢技窮，抓破頭仍舊只能以「找方法讓他們發洩多餘精力」的層次去回應。我為年輕一代在苦行路上穩步前進而欣慰，為着當權者的脫節和目空一切而感到極度可悲。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;社會人士用一個「激」字來形容近期的社會運動，是個出於政府及傳媒的抹黑手法。即使你未必認同那是有意的抹黑，至少在效果上，也是個有意無意的矮化。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;學陳雲口氣，一個「激」實在是劣質中文，因為它能按照受眾的主觀情緒而變化。「激」不單止含混著很多中性詞語：「激情」、「刺激」，隱藏「激氣」、「激心」、「激死人」等主觀感受，亦囊括了「激烈」、「激動」、「激盪」等帶有情緒的詞語。不過最麻煩的，是這個「激」字還暗示「過激」、「過份」、「越界」。同時更十分容易連上「擊」這個同音字，結果就令人聯想到「衝擊」、「襲擊」等「極端激烈」的場面。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因此每當聽到有人說他們這樣搞對抗是「過激」的手法，我的神經就會發作。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;五區苦行是心中的「激情」，表現出來可一點也不激。推跌一組鐵馬頂多算是「激烈」，怎麼也不是暴亂。對我來說，元旦遊行最過激過份越界的照片，肯定是「集會人士用眼睛襲擊警察的手指」（笑）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 肯企出來帶頭牽動社會運動的人，最應當得到的形容該是「激情」，浪漫一點還可說是「青春的激情」。這「青春」卻是跨年齡的，並不是80年後出生的人所獨有。所以他們說，菜園村一眾 80歲以上的公公婆婆，才是真正的「80後」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;所以當聽到有人說：「哇，80後那班人好『激』呀！」 你就要小心，要細細推敲了。到底他想說的是他們很激情（褒獎/ 羨慕）？是說激烈（敘述）？還是想說他們過份激烈（貶議）？&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://singsit01.mysinablog.com/index.php?op=ViewArticle&amp;articleId=2130248"&gt;原文出自The Doctor is In~sane, 這醫生很激*

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「80後」是不是一種激進主義呢？當然是。不過，「80後」的激進主要不在其偶然敢作肢體衝擊的男兒豪氣，付出代價的決心，而在其&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;敢想敢試敢為，耐心而持久地與荒謬作頑戰的勇氣。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;戊戍變法失敗後，康有為得到英國傳教士協助，由英國領事館職員經上海轉送到香港，同一時間梁啟超則經塘沽逃難到日本。兩年之後，香港最重要的革命家、興中會首任會長楊衢雲策劃惠州起義失敗，翌年被清政府派人刺殺於結志街，然後，便展開了《十月圍城》裏的故事。其實大家都十分清楚，康有為、梁啟超、楊衢雲以至孫中山等，都是地地道道的廣東人，在香港有很多同聲同氣的老鄉。孫中山更明言他的民主思想，乃啟蒙自香港的讀書時期，大概也是用廣東話母語授課。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;梁啟超在流亡日本期間，寫了一篇著名的《少年中國說》（載於《飲冰室文集之五》），將當時的清政府稱為「老大帝國」，他構想中未來的是「少年中國」﹕「少年智則國智，少年富則國富，少年強則國強，少年獨立則國獨立，少年自由則國自由，少年進步則國進步，少年勝於歐洲則國勝於歐洲，少年雄於地球則國雄於地球……」110年前的短短數句豪情壯語，開啟了中國追尋現代富強的漫長道路。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;少年中國老大香港&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;或許你覺得我扯得太遠了。其實只要再看看最近的二、三十年，中國改革開放之初，經濟特區都是港商在投資，流行曲和喇叭褲都是從香港引進，發哥和《上海灘》都一面倒來自香港……當然還少不了歷次天災香港的捐款，八九民運來自香港的支援——就連異見人士出走的路線，也和百年前大同小異。假如套用梁啟超的概念，香港總是要較內地年輕得多，少年香港總是在推動着中國向前，老大中國則在步履蹣跚中進進退退。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;到了今天，香港卻反而變成「伸手黨」了，不斷要向中央尋求政策支援；香港的經濟命脈，已完全被融合的邏輯支配；因此高鐵才是「硬道理」，不上馬就只有死路一條！中港兩地就像梁文道作為「香港最後一代文化人」的告白﹕「10年前，榮念曾、胡恩威、陳雲和我，大概是最早在報刊建議新成立的特區政府要注重創意產業的人……10年後，從北京到深圳，不只出現了大批專責文化創意產業的單位，甚至還有近百個「1933 老場坊」這類的創意產業園區。」至於香港的所謂六大產業，迄今還只停留在紙上談兵的階段，假如不是已變成另一個地產項目的話。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我不肯定今天的80後，是否都會拿內地來參照，但很肯定，他們都知道現在的內地很年輕，天天不斷在尋求新的突破，大城市的80後同樣蠢蠢欲動，建立了蓬勃的網絡空間；我們則變成了「老大香港」，只能拚命地跟上步伐，以免過早被人淘汰。不論是80後或是嬰兒潮，其實都知道香港仍剩下不少「老本」，文化遺產、核心價值、制度優勢等等，分別只是在於，80後覺得這些都是寶貴資產，嬰兒潮則力求盡快拆毁一切，榨取下金蛋的鵝的最後幾隻金蛋。這豈不完全正是梁啟超說的﹕「彼老朽者何足道，彼與此世界作別之日不遠矣，而我少年乃新來而與世界為緣。如僦（租）屋者然，彼明日將遷居他方，而我今日始入此室處。將遷居者，不愛護其窗櫳，不潔治其庭廡，俗人恒情，亦何足怪！」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因此，每次當鄭汝樺在訴說香港的長遠利益，梁展文的幽靈便彷彿如影隨形地在嘲笑她。一切教科書上關於優質政治體制的神話論述，都在短短數年間被官員一手自我爆破，高官經常掛在口邊的「優化」政策，已盡變成市民無奈苦笑的「幽（默）化」話題。現在北京已很少看見一個圈着的「拆」字了，但菜園村卻來了紅色的交叉；深挖機悄悄地轉進了大角嘴的地底，我卻想起年前重慶孤島般那個「最牛的釘子戶」，似乎當地發展商算是比較守法的，起碼對產權有最基本的尊重。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;中環價值朝陽精神&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不幸的是，這二、三十年來，內地到底都學了香港些什麼呢？記得我以前曾經寫過﹕「農業學大寨，工業學大慶，炒樓學香港。」中環價值已不再是中環價值，而是更多上海的浦東價值，北京的朝陽價值等等。說穿了，中環價值就是「圈地運動」，然後就是地主的「尋租行為」，從上至經濟結構的地產主導，下至普羅市民的置業恐懼，香港無不瀰漫着封建社會的保守心態，「50年不變」說穿了就是地主階級的政治綱領。80後以土地作為抗爭主題，完全就是天真無邪的小孩，無情地揭破了「國王的新衣」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;少年香港說&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「我是醫生，我男朋友是律師，但都買不起樓。」除了八十後苦行的經典圖像外，這亦是二○○九年的經典金句。我一直都不太肯定，到底普遍的八十後是買不起樓，抑或不屑買樓？但可以肯定，「圈地運動」也有高下之分，低劣的就像《阿凡達》中的地球人，赤裸裸地動用武力將潘朶拉清場；高明的大概會如葛蘭西所言，先建立一個意識形態霸權，也就是讓土地開發披上更多文明包裝，方不致出現如數碼港赤裸裸地變成貝沙灣，然後又想在西九翻版一遍──未知日後菜園村的上蓋物業，或許會叫作「萊茵豪庭」的，又會被納入李家還是郭家？香港號稱經濟最自由的都市，但一切都不是開放競爭決定的，世事荒唐之極，其實很難超出於此。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我倒想起嬰兒潮精英最常掛在口邊的一句話﹕「我是在公屋長大的。」潛台詞是他們已經脫離公屋行列，達成了向上的社會流動。嬰兒潮在七層徙置區的集體成長回憶，以及例如從何文田村「升呢」到黃埔，又或從北角邨「升呢」到太古城的集團遷徙經驗，已成為一代人權貴式「計劃經濟」的文化基礎（我總是很想知道，當年供書教學的父母或在工廠車衣的姊妹，卻還有多少仍然住在公屋呢？）。「圈地運動」的一個致命邏輯是，沒有地的人永遠都不會有一寸地，只有先圈地的人才會有地，後來的世代便只能當「農奴」了，這並非階級而是種姓（caste）的分野，命中注定的一個零和遊戲，一切都早已規劃得井井有條。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;無論在香港和大陸都一樣，八十後有別於上一代的地方，是他們只能繼續寄居在嬰兒潮父母的家裏，發揚臥薪嘗膽的精神，再無後顧之憂地起義。八十後皆在父母的專制溺愛中，戰戰兢兢、規行矩步地長大（大陸的八十後就更主要是獨生子女），因此過往一直顯得比較被動冷漠，被認定是過分自我和難於溝通。直至在天星碼頭、皇后碼頭、喜帖街、菜園村，在那些老街坊和純樸村民的身上，他們才終於找到了屬於自己的物質空間、屬於自己的家的感覺。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而且八十後還找到了新的潘朶拉星球，就是相對平等開放的網絡空間，在那裏毋須再擔心失地的問題，可以迅速建立動員力強大的社區，這是擁有土地的嬰兒潮世代所無法理解的。其實早在嬰兒潮火紅的年代，歐美已經有（也是葛蘭西意義上的）「新社會運動」，只因香港人太保守或太工具理性而不自知而已。無論如何，物質／地產空間與非物質／網絡空間的距離，彷彿就是地球和火星之間的距離，而這正是嬰兒潮和八十後之間的鴻溝所在。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;本土意識 北進想像&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;高鐵打造「一小時生活圈」的眩目藍圖，已難免引發香港人對身分危機的焦慮，無論你承認或不願承認也好，二○一六已經足以取代二○四六了，根本連二○二○雙普選也等不着，這和鄭耀棠日前心直口快、不慎披露的國家機密一樣，皆是香港最大的公開的秘密。因此在追問本土意識的同時，我亦再次陷入「北進想像」的沉思，李照興已在「星期日明報」寫了不少天，儘管他所講的主要是市場大計；葉蔭聰在回顧十多年前提出這概念時，則多少流露出自我批判的情緒（見諸《今天——香港十年》），彷彿以往太早走得太北，結果還是要撤退南下。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;八十年代羅永生他們「民主回歸」的口號，正是想像「香港的民主，明日的中國」；上一代人經歷所謂的學運火紅年代，以至八九民運全城激情的年代，皆抱着粗糙朦朧的北進想像。可惜亦正因如此，學運的啟蒙反而無法在本土生根，火紅年代搖身變成紅色資本年代，北進想像只剩下北上掘金的份兒。現在八十後要回歸本土，卻正是本土即將瀕臨消失的時候，不知這算不算是一種歷史的嘲弄？在「老大香港」期待「少年本土」的重現，感覺就好像到一個堆填區去找水源一樣荒誕。朱凱迪在一月八日那天寫道，八十後不會期望立即便能帶來轉變，會耕耘好幾年等城市運動花開結果，感覺更像是這個悲情城市的垂死哀鳴。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;康、梁於一百一十年前身處的香港，並非政治和經濟上的平等空間，而是公民社會和思想的自由空間。現在大陸已不太需要香港資金，甚至不太需要香港的技術了，但那裏仍缺乏接近香港的公民社會、成熟發達的公共空間、不亢不卑的社會運動，套用嬰兒潮物質主義的話語，那才是升值潛力最高的新興市場、最值得投資的「優質新股」。未來六年，相信中聯辦門前還會有不少示威，除了問中央可以給我們什麼，也可以問我們還能帶給中國什麼？每次當我看見苦行的八十後，都很想苦口婆心地跟他們說﹕撤出這個沒有希望的戰場吧！走到一個更大的戰場去，繼承康、梁那怕只是「保皇黨」的遺志──一小時生活圈無可避免地出現後，會較一百一十年年前坐船更加方便。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;在FES四十週年特刋之中，斗叔曾經以「井」與「泉」形容自己的事奉生涯。數年前，有機會為他的新作寫下薦語，「井」的圖像再次浮現，意外地拼湊出一幅對聯，記下了二十年來我所認識的斗叔：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;井中泉、流溢生命智慧&lt;br /&gt;井外天、啟迪無盡生機&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;井中泉、流溢生命智慧&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;斗叔的生命故事，就像深井裡的清泉，處處流溢着對生命的領受與洞見。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;六十年代離港赴加升學，透過「温城中國基督徒團契」信主，斗叔在大學時代已經是「泉源」刋物的中堅份子。透過校園及文字事工，斗叔與那一代的戰友(Winnipegers)，不僅開拓了本地華人學生福音運動，更為加國華人教會的成長奠下美好的根基。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;八九年斗叔一家移民赴加，並加入「使者協會」展開新一里路的事奉。縱然經歷妻子笑萍(斗嬸)患病及離世，斗叔卻在人生幾許風雨之中，以穩實生命領導「使者」隊工繼續前行。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從「研經訓練」、「門徒訓練營」，到後來的「傳禱小組」或「使者訓練學校」，斗叔所注重的，都不單單是活動的大小或人數之多寡；而是同工內在的生命，是否如江河活水一般，影響著所服待學生的生命。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;九四年中，斗叔將領導棒子交予王龍朗弟兄，前赴温哥華拓展加西學生工作。在短短數年之間，斗叔的生命燃點了一群心中有火的年青人，當中多人相繼成為使者的同工或長期義工，並促成2000年「使者學生中心」新一頁的開展！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在個人層面，斗叔亦成了自己學生工作上的生命師傅。2003年中，前領導同工王龍朗弟兄因車禍離世，筆者在戰兢中接過棒子。當年幸得斗叔從旁指點，在轉變之中，將心中座標由終結移向另一個開始，踏上新的生命篇章。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今日回首，實在感謝天父在這二十年來，將斗叔放在楓葉國的土地，透過他如泉湧溢的生命，從多倫多到温哥華，滋潤了無數年青生命的心田！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;井外天、啟迪無盡生機&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;斗叔口中常常提及門徒事工要達致「深廣互扣」，他的生命亦然。除了深厚的生命內涵，斗叔廣濶的視野，加上不斷學習的精神，常常為所接觸的年輕生命，打造出片片新天。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在「使者」事奉初期，基於以往在香港及東亞區學生工作的經驗，斗叔帶領「使者」與InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF Canada) 及 國際學生福音團契(IFES)接軌。還記得1991年夏天，有機會與斗叔聯袂前赴美國惠頓大學，参加IFES World Assembly，首次親嚐普世學生福音運動的震撼，更幫助「使者」思索作為學生運動一員的獨特身份與使命。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;透過参與1992年「加拿大華人宣教大會」(華宣)的籌備，斗叔有機會認識一群來自温哥華的學生團契領袖。除了將加國東西兩岸的學生串連起來之外，更促成九十年代兩次全國學生領袖的福音會議，為本土的學生福音運動寫下閃亮的一頁。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在多倫多定居的那段日子，斗叔經常串連一群敢於思巧探索的同道中人，在家中定期相聚對論。除了延續昔日香港《吶喊》雜誌背後的「沙龍」精神外，更有機會與渥太華另一群基督徒專業人士連線，促成一系列的「雙城對話」(Inter-City Dialogue)。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;近年天父引導斗叔，在太平洋兩岸穿梭，推動以信仰為本的職場事工。除了參與發起「公義樹」及「學學堂」事工，更與多位年輕畢業生在創業荊途上緊密同行，一起尋索井外那一片藍天 (個別見証可見於斗叔遺作《學會講、學會學》一書&lt;a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3426426/Benny%20Book1.JPG"&gt;底頁&lt;/a&gt;)。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;結語&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在2009年除夕下午，與温哥華同工余子麟弟兄在網上越洋分享，並在禱告中念記斗叔，想不到在不足四十八小時之內，竟然傳來斗叔安睡主懷的消息。沉痛之餘，兩地同工合力於三天之內於兩所「使者學生中心」設置追思閣，以供主內同道緬懷吊唁。以下為眾「使者」同工為斗叔所撰寫的輓聯。斗叔，新天新地再相見！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;磨劍一生 光如北斗引路&lt;br /&gt;留芳千古 功賴使命承傳&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gabrielchan.blogspot.com/2010/01/blog-post.html"&gt;原文出自Leadership Jazz 2.0 by Gabriel

An industry study measuring the quality of several strawberry jams invited a panel of professional food tasters to rate a selection of jams on a numbered scale on the characteristics of sweetness, taste, enjoyment, spreadability, and a few other criteria. Result was that brand A was the best, and brand Z the worst. Years later, a professor attempted to repeat the same test with his students, and got the same results. However, when the test was given with an extra criteria of “why”, as in “explain why did you think the jam is highly spreadable”, the results were reversed. Brand Z, the cheapest jam in the group, got the highest score.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. In another test, all subjects were given a word puzzle test after ingesting an energy drink, labeled as providing higher alertness and energy. Half of the subjects paid the full price for the energy drink before the test, while the other subjects were told to pay only half. The result of the test shows that the group that paid the cheaper sale price scored 30% lower on average.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. A group of students were asked to do a blind taste test of 5 different bottles of wine. Although among the 5, one $5 wine was presented once as $5, then again as $45. Not surprisingly, the $45 wine rated as being far superior than the same bottle labeled at $5. This test was given again to wine experts, those that frequently consume and judge the quality of wines, and received the same results.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://eatsnaprepeat.ca/2010/01/08/food-for-thought/"&gt;原文出自"Eat Snap Repeat" Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28369894-6856294834502205590?l=readingreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/feeds/6856294834502205590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28369894&amp;postID=6856294834502205590' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/6856294834502205590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/6856294834502205590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-we-decide.html' title='How We Decide'/><author><name>Alan Yu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613909143295518623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdiM9tlCd-8/TcXJQKh0B-I/AAAAAAAABdU/1rWqlrtFx5U/s220/profile2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28369894.post-700744919237137825</id><published>2010-01-10T00:04:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-10T00:19:29.380-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><title type='text'>heartbreaking</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3426426/birthday.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Uh, not really</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;A recent study concluded that nudity and explicit sex scenes don't translate to success for major motion pictures.&lt;br /&gt;"Sex Doesn't Sell -- nor Impress! Content, Box Office, Critics, and Awards in Mainstream Cinema" examined more than 900 films released between 2001 and 2005.&lt;br /&gt;The study found that, contrary to popular belief, sex and nudity failed to positively affect a film's popularity among viewers or critics and did not guarantee big box office receipts.&lt;br /&gt;One of the study's co-authors, Dean Keith Simonton, said theirs was the largest sample of its kind used for film research. The results surprised him, he said.&lt;br /&gt;"Sex did not sell, whether in the domestic or international box office, and even after controlling for MPAA rating," said Simonton, who is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis. "In other words, even among R movies, less graphic sex is better."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Craig Detweiler, director of the Center for Entertainment, Media and Culture at Pepperdine University, said the study's findings reflect the culture's post-sexual revolution sensibilities.&lt;br /&gt;"Nothing is as shocking anymore," Detweiler said. "You can see it in Britney Spears' kiss with Madonna and Janet Jackson's Super Bowl performance. Things that were a big controversy among some, the next generation kind of yawned at it."&lt;br /&gt;Rather, Detweiler said, he has seen among his students that&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; the new form of rebellion against the older generation includes "not doing drugs, not sleeping around and not getting divorced."&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; That might explain the popularity of some of the Jane Austen films and movies like the "Twilight" series, he said.&lt;br /&gt;"Those stories are really about sexual separation," he said. "They are all about wooing, not winning."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/12/29/sex.doesnt.sell.movies/"&gt;原文出自CNN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28369894-7395918759218941736?l=readingreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/feeds/7395918759218941736/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28369894&amp;postID=7395918759218941736' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/7395918759218941736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/7395918759218941736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/2009/12/does-sex-sell-movies-uh-not-really.html' title='Does sex sell movies?

It has really been an eventful year. Academically, I finished my doctoral program this year at the Institute for Worship Studies by completing my thesis on worship discipleship; and has started the Doctor of Ministry program at Fuller Theological Seminary in spiritual formation. Ministry-wise, I have realigned my ministry at AFC and focused a lot more in restoration ministry and personal work than in program production. I have also started working part-time at my home church, Westside Baptist Church, and have determined to pursue full time pastoral ministry at a local church in a long run. I have also started writing a column for Christian Times, a renowned chinese Christian newspaper in Hong Kong. And I have also started hosting 2 short segments on two different radio programs, both aired during prime time, at AM1320. Spiritually, I have been profoundly renewed at a prayer retreat in Hong Kong and gained a revitalized passion for prayer. Personally, I shred over 20 lbs and started exercising regularly to restore my health. And finally at home, we are expecting our third child (a boy, again).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see there has been many changes. But as I reflect upon my journey in the last few years, it has always been full of changes. I guess change has become one of my themes. I am not afraid of changes, because I am certain that God is holding my hands and leading me. I consider all these changes adventures in life where I can grow in Christ. As long as I am useful to His ministry, any change is ok with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can foresee more changes coming in 2010: my plans to take 3 courses this year at Fuller, the plan to spend more time on the ministry at my home church, the completely realigned (including many new) ministries at AFC with many new staff members joining, and the arrival of our third boy in April. I hope that it will continue to be a fruitful adventure as it was in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessed New Year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;近日機構在招聘，廣告上寫明，有興趣應徵者，需撰寫一篇五百字以內、題目自選的時事評論文章，並在應徵信寫明希望加入機構的原因和個人履歷，一併遞交。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;結果，過百份的申請，只有七份是有齊這三項文件的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;請留意，我不是說有七份合適的申請。我是說，只有七份完整的申請。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其餘那些「申請」，有超過六成，連最基本的求職信也沒有。當然，也不要去追究那些「求職信」，大部分也是連上款也沒有換、沒有註明公司名稱、所應徵的職位等，可以漁翁撒網式發出去的那種「求職信」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;老實說，如此敷衍、「求其」的求職申請，這幾年好像已經成為了家常便飯。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;人家在招聘廣告寫得明明白白的要求，你卻偏偏送來一個「做一半、不做一半」的申請。怎樣解釋這行為呢？可能性有三：第一，招聘者提出的要求太高、太麻煩；我明白在後現代文化高舉個人觀感的前提下，要求是高與否，確實見仁見智。不過，求職市場也是自由市場，若然認為招聘者要求太麻煩，不去應徵就是了，何苦又要浪費時間力氣，送個半桶水的申請過來呢？第二，求職者沒有看清楚招聘的要求。對不起，這只代表你做事極不小心；世界上是沒有僱主會選擇做事粗枝大葉的人當員工的。第三，就是求職者基本上是在漁翁撒網。要為某個申請而特製應徵文件，機會成本太高了；倒是把按照最高公因數原則製作、可以「一雞幾味」的求職信和履歷至為划算。說不定招聘者對提出的要求也其實並不怎麼認真的，就算沒有交齊一份完整的申請，僥幸的話也能「博」一個面試機會？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;香港有很多年青人、大學生經常大聲疾呼，埋怨社會沒有給他們機會，就算有學歷，但仍然難找工作，薪酬又偏低。這次的應徵者當中，不乏碩士畢業生，有的還打著響噹噹銜頭來，以現今講求儲證書、儲文憑、儲學位的角度看，他們絕對可以堪稱為「有為青年」。我想，他們對於自己「竟然」連面試的機會也沒有，大概也真的會理直氣壯地認為社會對他們不公，又或埋怨自己生不逢時，遇上這百年一遇的金融海嘯。他們就是從來沒有想過，問題可不一定在社會、或在經濟環境，而在於自己待人處事的態度。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我有一個朋友，是中小企老闆，她告訴我在過去五年裡所聘請過的年青畢業生，大概有一半，會在協議上班的頭一天「no show」。我相信有不少人也嚐過被年青人在求職面試時放鴿子的滋味。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這顯然不是能力、技能或有沒有機會的問題。這不是unemployment的問題，是unemployability的問題。我們的年青人，從哪時開始變成了這樣子？求其是正常，懂得「偷雞」叫醒目，以小搏大是叻仔。你對他們有要求，是你麻煩；他們做不到，是社會的錯、是世界欠了他們的。&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我最近也在請人，對文中的現象深有同感。我到現在，連一份「完整的申請」也沒有。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

lived within.  For from the moment Gabriel had told her she was “favored, ”she knew herself to be “in-graced” by God.  She carried a son who would come to us “full of grace and truth.”  And  she carried him as that same grace poured through the Father’s heart to meet her moment-by-moment need. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, as von Balthasar so beautifully says, “she bears what she lets herself be borne by.” (The Threefold Garland) &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“You are in me, I am in you.”  We, too, are borne by what we bear.  It is the mystery of faith. Like Mary, like Joseph, we carry within us a reality much greater than we can contain.  We, too, are surrounded by the very grace that renews us from the inside out.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessed Christmas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://carlawaterman.blogspot.com/2009/12/borne-by-what-we-bear.html"&gt;原文出自Song of Assent blog by Dr. Carla Waterman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28369894-876583024253148536?l=readingreport.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/feeds/876583024253148536/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28369894&amp;postID=876583024253148536' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/876583024253148536'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28369894/posts/default/876583024253148536'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://readingreport.blogspot.com/2009/12/bearing-life.html' title='Bearing Life'/><author><name>Alan Yu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06613909143295518623</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdiM9tlCd-8/TcXJQKh0B-I/AAAAAAAABdU/1rWqlrtFx5U/s220/profile2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p1F9CWmDTBk/SzPGs53aRCI/AAAAAAAABaU/wK14xjPOgcQ/s72-c/970984_21602747.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28369894.post-8589574698166946721</id><published>2009-12-04T20:29:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-04T20:32:19.125-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reflection'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Discontent'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Healing'/><title type='text'>Tiger Woods will survive</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;Michael Jordan couldn’t keep it in the pants. His wife eventually left him. He’s fine. Magic Johnson couldn’t keep it in the pants, contracted HIV, married his long-suffering girlfriend. He’s fine too. R. Kelly PEED on somebody. Also fine. People are amazingly forgiving of celebrities. Especially those with penises. Especially those worth nearly a billion dollars in endorsements and still have years of playing time left in them. Most of golf’s fans are men. The golf reporters who live and die by having access to Woods want this mess to go away (lest they piss off THE MAN by being forced to report on it).
