一场游戏？一场梦。


今天和 manager 一起去开会，

其实可能比较像喝茶聊天似的，虽然还算是谈正经事。

aiya.

I think this post shouldn't be in chinese, sounds too serious.

变。

ok. So, we were having a meeting with Lijuan and the three of us were passionately sharing our thoughts and philosophical idealistic views on our ambitions, our dreams, and what spurs us on. All this while, our manager was chewing gum and just listening on, not exactly seeming to share the same fiery passion that we were spurting (almost burning the place down I think.)

We talked about how 梦 and 爱 is similar in more ways than one.

I shared about how I always had the notion that 爱 is a very very big momentous, 伟大 thing, but Carrie always believed it was in the little things and that love CAN and should be felt even in miniscule situations, and recently, I've begun to understand this and slowly been able to learn to experience and practice it in my life.

Similarly, 梦 was never meant to just be about lofty aspirations, its in the little things you do. Yes, my greatest dream might be to be a full-fledged singer, but I have many other little things, which I dream of but haven't achieved. I want to see my Dad and Mum happy and carefree, I know I'm still bulk of the reason they frown and sigh these days, but yes, that's my little dream. Everytime my weird antics make them chuckle, I feel like that little dream of mine took flight to a higher altitude.

What's that little dream of yours?

Anyway, the brilliant part and amidst all our cheem and philosophical quotes and conversations of the day was something that manager 侠女Amy said without giving a second thought. And, honestly, her brutal quote that came with a valiant carefree attitude really knocked the air out of me in laughter.

It's not just funny. It's true. And while everyone is busy screaming

"where is my passion! What is my dream! AHhhhrrrggghhhh!!!! "

and losing sleep and hair over this....



I say. Stop. Listen. and Learn... from 侠女Amy.




me to 侠女Amy : 那，你的梦想是什么？


*without batting an eyelid*


侠女Amy: 我..没有梦的。*continues to chew gum*




-_-" that's your first reaction right?

But these words came out of her so forthrightly, and she felt there was nothing wrong with that, and above all, I could feel that there was nothing about her life at that moment that she was discontented with, she was one happy as a lark, fun to hang out with, hip mother-of-one-french-baby 侠女.

And it reminded me of something 蔡导 said at the 影展 in 高雄。


人如果有梦，
却不努力追随，
不努力去实现，

天天活在不知足,
好高骛远的状态之下，
就会痛苦过一生。


倒不如没有梦想，
珍惜现在所拥有的一切，
快快乐乐，知足常乐的过一生。


想要，却因没努力而得不到。
失望，后悔，怨恨。


不想要，却又意外得到。
开心，知足，感激。


有梦想就最好努力，不然，就学学侠女Amy!

一定要对得起自己！


p.s. Not saying that 侠女 has no dreams, but maybe she doesn't realise it. Just that, i think her immediate reaction to that question, and her being able to live with her own answer, is most important and really deserves a packet of..... sweets. =P
