命運就是這樣，不時給我們一點暗示。
只是我們又急、又腳軟，未有餘力去推理它暗示什麼。
...關於我樣衰這個事實，我從來就不特別介懷。我自小讀書成績差、運動差、打機也反應遲鈍...但大概因為年紀少，還未學會自卑。其實我還莫名其妙的，總覺得自己有點與別不同...

不要說了，去吧！沒有你想像的難！
當垃圾有一團火既時候，就唔會再作垃圾；
當廢柴可以生火既時候，亦唔會再作廢柴
要是我成功了，你應該替我高興；
要是我失敗了，你也應該替我高興
——成長就是這樣一回事。

Long Vacation
There were days
When we used to lounge
Hangin' out in my car
Till the sun went down
When I'd call
you'd pick up the phone
Tell me how much
and you were alone
*Let's get deep
**If I ever broke down
gave you what I felt now
Would you still hang around
Are we crazy for feeling this way
You used to laugh until you cried
You and I keeping the world at bay
We'd sit around all day
Let's get deep
Closer and closer
every time we turn around
you'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Deeper and deeper
I'll never go away
Sun falls torrential you highness
I'm thinkin' about the days we left behind us
Sunshine and rain and misery
I'll lookin' at you beside me here
now I don't know how
you came into my life wonderin' will you be my wife
spend a day or two in Spain or France
in the rain we'll dance
Your heart next to mine beatin'
in the rain let me explain
Let me do my thing and tell you how I feel
this love is for real
Summer's finally found us,
the children playing in the sun
baby can't you see our time has come
turning on my radio
I hear the song, and see your face
cause you are the one I can't replace
I would give in
learn to depend
That I'll be there
until the end
Closer and closer
everytime we turn around
you'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Deeper and deeper
I'll never go away
When we used to lounge
Hangin' out in my car
Till the sun went down
When I'd call
you'd pick up the phone
Tell me how much
and you were alone
*Let's get deep
**If I ever broke down
gave you what I felt now
Would you still hang around
Are we crazy for feeling this way
You used to laugh until you cried
You and I keeping the world at bay
We'd sit around all day
Let's get deep
Closer and closer
every time we turn around
you'll never be lonely
I'll keep you beside me
Deeper and deeper
I'll never go away
Sun falls torrential you highness
I'm thinkin' about the days we left behind us
Sunshine and rain and misery
I'll lookin' at you beside me here

活在當下
有一種人宣稱他們活在當下，主要是覺得人生苦短，與其去憂心不可知的未來，不如好好掌握眼前有的東西，讓自己可以每一天都過得很開心。這一類人的優點可能是比較不會有煩惱，而且在當下就可以享受自己所擁有的一切東西，完全不必為明天憂慮！走到極致，這種人是「及時行樂」的人，對於自己的未來缺乏長遠的眼光。
相較之下，另一類宣稱他們也是活在當下的人，除了關心眼前的生活該如何過，也會「觀前顧後」，反省自己過去的種種，並思考未來該如何長遠發展。在第一種人眼中，或許第二種人根本稱不上「活在當下」，因為他們經常沈溺在以往過失的悔恨中，或是為未來該往哪裡去而憂心，以致無法享受當下的生活快樂。
確實，每個人的「現在」都是延伸自「過去」，「未來」則是由「現在」出發。換言之，沒有人可以宣稱自己可以完全不用顧及「過去」而享受「現在」，因為他們所享受的「現在」其實是「過去」所做所為的影響；也沒有人可以天真地不思考「未來」，因為缺少對於自己「未來」的關心，「現在」也不知道該往哪裡去。
那麼，究竟該怎樣活在當下呢？我很喜歡Paulo Coelho在《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》一書中，所提到的一小段故事。當一個占卜者被問到，他是如何解讀未來的預兆時，這位占卜者說：「未來是屬於神的，只有祂才能揭露未來，而且通常是在某種特別的情境下才能揭露。而我是靠什麼去猜測未來？就靠現在看見的預兆。所以，未來的秘密就是現在。如果你專注於現在，就必定能改善現在。而如果你能改善現在，未來就一定會更好。忘記未來吧，只要照神的教誨去過每一天，要相信神會眷顧祂的子民。每一天，都有著它自己的永恆」
