Random

This is the last summer vacation I can enjoy so much. In future there will be no such long vacation and I will be bound by many non-personal engagements. Therefore this can be the last chance I can think of my route before going ahead to explore the uncertainty.

The discussion I have had with some Year 1 students reminds me again of the experience two years ago. Whoever hasn't gone thorugh the process can never understand how worried one can be when waiting for the results and how happy/miserable one is when the results are released. The fluctuating emotion may not last long but can make one feel very uneasy. Whether I took on the change or not, it would be impossible to foresee the present me, where I have been, what I am doing, etc. Of course I am not going to have this experience again, nor do I want it once more. This was the most difficult decision I have ever made. There was no right or wrong about it; the evaluation should be based upon whether it has made me feel better and has offered me a better understanding of myself.

柏楊 一盤散沙

任何一個社會和任何一個人,多少都有點崇拜權勢,但似乎從沒有一個社會和從沒有一個民族,像中國人對權勢這麼癲狂,和這麼融入骨髓。 任何一個社會和任何一個人,也多少都有點自私,但同樣地也從沒有一個社會和一個民族,像中國人這麼自私到牢不可破。 這話聽起來有點憤世嫉俗,說出來也覺得危機四伏,可能惹起愛國裁判大怒,亂吹哨子。不過理是應該說的,不是應該怒的。

有一種現像大家無不樂於承認,那就是,中國同時也是一個很聰明的民族,身在番邦的中國留學生,無論留日的焉,留美的焉,留英的焉,留法的焉,學業成績,差不多都比該本國學生拔尖。 辜鴻銘先生在英國學海軍,他的分數遠超過日本留學生伊藤博文先生;蔣百里先生在日本學陸軍,學科兼術科,都是該期第一名;日本人那時候比現在還要小氣鬼,忍受不了外國學生的優越成績,才把他閣下擠下來。 這些是遠例,近例最驚天動地的,莫過於圍棋大王吳清源先生和圍棋小大王林海峰先生,在日本本土,橫衝直撞,所向披靡,固然是日本棋壇的優美環境所致,但更是中國人的先天智能所致。如果一定說中國人的聰明遠超過洋大人,似乎吹牛,但至少有一點,中國人的聰明絕不亞於洋大人。 ──中國同胞沾沾自喜,當然沒啥爭議,就是洋大人,甚至三K黨,都不能說中國人聰明差勁,大不了說中國人群體差勁。 洋朋友往往把中國人叫做東方的猶太人,當然是輕蔑,但同時也是一種敬意和畏懼。 猶太人最惹人咬牙的不過一毛不拔罷啦,而其他方面的貢獻,若宗教,若科學,若藝術,無不震古鑠今。試看世界上經濟大權,不是握在猶太朋友手中乎? 基督教的開山老祖耶穌先生,不就是猶太人乎,現代科學巨星愛因斯坦先生,不也是猶太人乎。

中國人是聰明的,但這聰明卻有一個嚴重的大前提,那就是必須“一對一”,在個別的較量中,一個中國人對一個洋大人,中國人是聰明的,好比說吳清源先生和林海峰,單槍獨馬,就殺得七進七出。 可是一旦進入群體的較量,兩個中國人對兩個洋大人,或兩個以上的中國人對兩個以上的洋大人,中國人就吃不住兼頂不過。孫中山先生曾感嘆中國人是“一盤散沙”,嗚呼,用中國的一個沙粒跟洋大人的一個沙粒較量,中國的沙粒不弱於洋大人的沙粒,但用中國的一堆沙粒跟洋大人一堆沙粒做成的水泥較量,水泥可是堅硬如鐵。

一盤散沙的意義是不合作,我們說不合作,不是說中國人連合作的好處都不知道。咦,不但知道,而且知道個徹底。醬缸蛆先生忽然發了罡氣,他能寫上一本書,引經據典,大批出售古聖古賢以及今聖今賢關於合作的教訓。先生如果也發了罡氣,我同樣也能引經據典寫上一本書──不但寫上一本書,簡直能寫上一火車書。 但問題是,不管經典上合作的教訓如何茂盛,那些教訓只止於印到書上,行為上卻不是那麼回事。

桀驁不馴,剛愎自用 -- AIESEC-LC-CUHK

給我的整體感覺最差的,莫過於這個YES,或者NO

溝通不足、支援不足、受不禮貌的對待、形同虛設的架構、自把自為,統統都是敗筆。

兩天的請假換來的卻竟是一肚子氣,從未嘗過如此般失望,未嘗過在這組織裏如此的所謂 "de-motivated"。

如果這就是AIESEC-LC-CUHK的一貫作風或者新作風,恕我這個會員未能認同。也許我太"outdated"了,不曉得"年輕"人想甚麼,這樣的解釋也許能給自己一些安慰。

YES也好,NO也好,總之就像一場鬧劇,像小孩玩泥沙。待我完成責任以後,便不想再聽、再理會任何事。

When we love to broadcast Michael Jackson's Heal The World in Introduction to @, we always have the chorus: "make a better place, for you and for me." Sarcastically, we fail to take care of the people immediately around us. How can we dare to say we take care of others and make the so-called impact? To this point, I feel ashamed to be a full member.
