I am not disappear but have created another new "life" in another place.

本質與迷失


先從一個故事開始吧。美國有個中年人，平時忙於工作，沒空陪他唯一的兒子，為此 感到內疚。有一天他下定決心安排好某個週六下午保持絕對的空檔，買了兩張大聯盟賽的門票，來好好陪陪兒子！時間到了，他和兒子快快樂樂開車出門，但很不幸地，居然碰上了大塞車！眼看球已經開始，他們的車還塞在aa半路上動彈不得，兩人在車內便一直抱怨，生氣這個都是… 這個交通……，忽然，老爸想起來：「我安排今天有空，不是就是為了要和我兒子在一起嗎？現在我不是正和兒子在一起嗎？那我又何必在乎那場球賽呢？」於是他開始放下生氣的情緒，和他的兒子愉快的聊了一個下午。

人的許多動機，是由他的本質出發，但在實踐的過程中，卻很容易迷失了。正如這位老爸他所求的本質是好好陪一陪他的兒子，但在實踐的過程中，卻被塞車、球賽等等牽扯到了另一種心境去了。

婚姻的本質，是兩個人相知相惜的相伴結果，但不少人最後迷失在爭吵、鬧意見、誰該洗碗的牢籠中，找不回當初結婚的本質；認識新朋友，本該在友情的基礎上，互相幫助，製造快樂；但隨著時間的流逝，演變出多少計較、冷漠與抱怨。

是的，許多事的本質與動機都是好的，可是一但出發之後，卻似太空船航向未知的太空，投入無邊的「迷失」之中了。人的本質，有愛、有情、有相信、有慈悲、有智慧，但這是所謂本質投入這個世界後，有另一定律，牽引著這本質走向另一未知，那就是：「迷失」。

宗教的本質，是為認識並接近上帝，但歷史上有多少宗教戰爭呢？慈善事業的本質，是在恤貧憫孤，但大多數的慈善是不是也有迷失於名、利的狀況呢？

孟子的性善，道盡人心深層裡必定有一至善之本質；可是荀子的性惡，卻似乎毫不掩飾地指出，這本質有極大的可能，迷失在往前走的路上。無怪乎儒家千百年中不敢獨尊性善或性惡，因為很可惜的是，純善的本質易迷失在這人世間！

人的內心中，都充滿了愛，由此本質出發，推動我們做不少事；但日常生活中，多少愛轉成分離、爭吵、失望，甚至怨恨。這也是一種迷失，迷失了本質的目的。二十一世紀，人類最大的發現，將是：發現自己。

發現自己的本質，瞭解自己本質的目標，重新找回這些目標，不要再迷失了。現在飛機、船隻大量使用衛星定位系統 GPS，好知道自己身在何處，以免迷失。心靈裡，是否也需要一種系統，以免自己迷失了本質的作用呢？

別再犯同樣的錯誤：由本質之良善出發，卻迷失在這紅塵俗世中。當你感覺很不好時，希望你能像那位爸爸一樣，找回自己最原始的目標，從而 放下一切根本不必要的負面情感。

忙的時候，想要休息；渡假的時候，想到未來。窮的時候，渴望富有；生活安逸了，怕幸福不能長久。 該決定的時候，擔心結果不如預期；看明白了，又後悔當初沒有下決心。不屬於自己的，常常心存慾望；握在手裡了，又懷念未擁有前的輕鬆。

「生命若不是現在，那是何時？這就是你的方向、你的生活目標！」

My Latest Pet !!! :)

Do you think this is a panda or a dog? He got a name, panda pup :) haha.

p/s : Reality is that, this is not my dog. Because of this dog, the owner has been caught many times as the police in china mistaken thought that this animal is a panda.

A song that sang by a 6 years old girl ...

A 6 years old little cute girl that you need to watch for yourself.

The flight to Japan is quite expensive, it sure burnt a hole in my pocket. I am planning to extend a few days to tour around Japan. The questions arise to whether I should backpack alone or find others. It is rather hard to find the people to go now, as I only have 3 weeks to prepare. My brother has warned me that not many Japanese are able to speak English, and I will sure be losted since I am not familiar with Japanese. :( ..  Everything in Japan is expensive.. I have a crazy thought of spending a night slept at park, my friend told me that during night time there are actually many poor old folk who sleep at the public park. I was actually shock to hear this as Japan is a rich, and advance country and thus this should not happen.

Worse come to worst .. hehe .. I am ready to venture alone. I feel a bit frightened deep down my heart. Hmm.. I need to be broad. {not convincing enuf}. Let's see how .. Have to keep my mind open, think positive. Think on the optimistic side. Yeah .. I am going to Japan.

Have a tense week, because many things take place, I am hoping to learn more from the consultant, and also try to see how they solve the SAP issues. There are many issues raise due to new system replacing old system. I like the new system, as I manage to find a lot of useful info from the web. The new system is quite complex. Ha.. today, I have managed to do 1 cycle of sales order creation until shipment with the incessant questions that I posted to the consultant, who is unfortunately sit beside me. He is a patient guy.

The most enjoyable thing for me in the past few days was having lunch with them. They came to work on Monday, thus I have been stationed to come to work as well on Monday, although Mon is replacement holiday for penang governor's birthday on SAT. I bought them to eat lunch in one of the Indian restaurant. Haha.. we ordered banana leaf, I only realised that they use banana leaf as replacement for plate, there is how the name originated. The special thing was that I followed their culture and eat with my hand. hehe .. it tastes nice using hand to eat :) I enjoy myself eating in this way :) Then we ordered lassi, some indian candy as well, they shared with me some indian culture and introduce the indian food name to me etc. I love Indian food, because I like to eat spicy food. :)

Tomorrow is Friday, my family should be coming from Macau then ... I was suppose to go with them, however my leave has to be cancelled. No leave approved for month July. I am actually very sad, because I dun get the chance to travel with my family =( ... 

It is approaching to 8pm, hmm.. enjoying myself sitting quietly in the conference room typing the blog. Very quiet and peaceful.
