一個朋友的MSN簽名很有意思:
每個人都有屬於自己的一片森林,迷失的人迷失了,相逢的人會再相逢...
----
那麽,我和你,在茫茫人海中,會再相逢嗎?
還是,各自有各自的方向,隻是在交匯的刹那互放光亮?
有些記憶被定義成了瞬間,隻是因為人們向往平靜的生活,隻是因為生活本身有著太多的變數。雖然,我們通常都明白,瞬間的感動會變成永恒的悲傷。
正如《生命之詩》裏反複哼唱的那樣:
有一種自由叫做孤獨,它在我一生靜靜飛舞;
有一種愛情叫做殘酷,它讓我心痛無法停步;
有一種夢想叫做迷惘,它在我不眠的夜裏飛翔;
有一種永恒叫做悲傷,它讓我奔跑不悔路上

天氣不是很好,很陰。
雖然經理不在,但是留了一大堆東西要做,緊趕慢趕又是一天。
美中不足,快下班的時候,一件芝麻綠豆大的小事,竟被人沒頭沒腦的訓了一番。弄得我莫名其妙的鬱悶了好一陣。輕輕歎一聲,還好不是一大早碰上,不然,今天可就要鬱悶一整天了。
7點的時候,終於走出公司大樓,What a day!
此時的曼哈頓已是華燈初上,空氣裏彌漫著很冷很冷的冬天的味道。街上照樣是人來人往,所不同的是,人們腳步匆匆,趕往家的方向。每到這個時候,心情總是最放鬆,最自然的。
走出地鐵,發現天空中有星星點點的小雪飄落,一種欣喜湧上心頭。昏黃的路燈下,小雪花輕輕悄悄的掠過,很細很密。一低頭,發現我的圍巾上竟也是小雪花,一粒一粒晶瑩剔透。白天的事,工作上的事,一切的一切,在此刻,都不及這一點一點隨風飄飛的小雪花。我的心情,定格在了這一刻。嗯,What a day!

I know I am a little bit blue today - don't know why, don't know how.
Well, let me fly, fly away to somewhere, far far way...
忽然想到了Jenny,那個Forest一生鍾情的女子,寂寞的女子,在阿拉巴馬的莊稼地裏,默默的禱告。她隻想要變成一隻小鳥,飛到很遠很遠的地方。此刻,我好像和童年時候的Jenny一樣,也想著,變作一隻小鳥。
嗯,不說了,還是聽歌吧。夜涼如水,該是一種什麽樣的心情?
Breakaway
by Kelly Clarkson
Grew up in a small town
and when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'till I touch the sky
And I'll
Make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But i won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll Take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get aboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane far away
And breakaway...
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
But I gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away
Breakaway...
I'll spread my wings
then I'll learn how to fly,
Though it's not easy to tell you good-bye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance,
Make a change,
And breakaway...

I don't know what I am doing since the last weekend - keeping watching the TV series "The Apprentice" - back to back - from season 1 to season 5!
You can call it a show if you want, but you definitely can learn a lot from it - from the bloody real business world. All I can say is that life sucks: people attack each other to defend themselves, no loyalty, no friendship, well, there may be love somehow. BUT, if you survive, you are a big winner. So be positive, always be positive, be with passion, be a hard player and the most important, be a outstanding leader. Hehe, easy to say, right? Simply because someone is born to be a leader and someone just not.
After all, take it easy.

今天一早就要趕去客戶公司,忘了帶雨傘。出了地鐵,好容易衝進一家CVS,情急中隨便抓了一把傘就走。付了錢,打開傘,才發現竟然是給小孩子用的。難怪剛才拿起來時那麽輕巧。可以想象,在Manhattan的某個大街上,一個穿著大衣,拎著筆記本,腳步匆匆的professional,手上竟撐著一把兒童傘,好怪啊。嗬嗬,但是,時間來不及了,隻要把頭遮住,頭發不要太亂就好。反正到了公司lobby可以整理整理之後才進去。
緊趕慢趕,到了。一打電話,Partner臨時有事,不來了,而Manager正在趕來的路上,我是最準點到的了。心下一陣竊喜。看來會議是要推遲了。也好,沒事偷著樂一下吧。

想到了來的路上的雨,就摘錄了老戴的一首詩了:
煩憂
說是寂寞的秋的清愁,
說是遼遠的海的相思。
假如有人問我的煩憂,
我不敢說出你的名字。
我不敢說出你的名字,
假如有人問我的煩憂:
說是遼遠的海的相思,
說是寂寞的秋的清愁。

我想,今年最好的辭舊迎新禮物就是這次的峽穀行了。
掐頭去尾坐飛機的兩天,我們用了五天玩兒了Zion, Bryce, Capital Reef, 印第安人的沙漏,Powell Lake, and Grand Canyon。天高雲淡下的群山怪石,風雪交加裏的奇峰峻嶺,冬天的景色自是別有一番風味。
最有成就感的是三個人用了12.5小時把Grand Canyon從上到下再到上的走了一趟。
最酷的是大家在Colorado River裏一償心願-洗洗腳。
最多的收獲就是- Nothing is Impossible。
遺憾也是有的 - 沒有最後走完Angel's Landing trail,沒有走the Narrows trail,沒有在大峽穀裏坐直升飛機 - 遺憾也是美麗的,至少給我一個再來一次的理由。
當然,最多的感謝要給計劃和參與這次旅行的芝加哥的朋友們了。
