Decision (抉擇)

為什麼性格決定命運?因為性格會不斷影響你一生中大大小小的決定,而這些決定便形成了你的命運。所以星座命相也許不能算出你的運程,也許我們還是有自由意志,但它們若能推出你的性格,那要推出大運也是雖不中亦不遠矣。

轉眼間又面臨事業的分叉路。經過了十年多的旅程,來到這一刻,已經作出了很多很多的決定。在神的眷顧下,總算在順流逆流中整體向上。然而早些時和我老朋友行山,卻驟覺我們現在已是「高不成低不就」:要不豁出去博一舖,犧牲生活、家人、與健康;要不退出戰場,營營役役但平平穩穩地終此一生。我知道他早已豁了出去,卻給政治變數擠了下來。近日白兄亦豁了出去,準備自己打江山。我卻性格使然,一直下不了決心。企業分拆又分拆,我的兩位老板反反覆覆遊說我破釜沈舟,似乎抉擇的限期已是近在眉睫了。算吧,「不要為明天憂慮,因為明天有明天的憂慮:一天的苦足夠一天受的了」(瑪/太 6:34),還是活在當下吧!

昨晚回到飯店,看著掛在衣櫥裏的戰衣,忽然覺得它也是有生命的;它所代表的野心、世故、與虛假,也是我的一部分,而且似有要進佔我理智與心靈的能力:真可怕。

來台北無數次,多到在過關的時候,給海關罵:「來那麼多次了,還是漏填簽證號碼!」所以夜晚也沒什麼地方想去,只好不斷放縱我的食慾。我不喜歡到夜市吃些零零碎碎的東西,倒越來越喜歡那些連鎖餐廳,好像「加州風洋食館」或「知多家」等,認真抵食夾大件!一個有湯有沙拉有飯有甜品有咖啡的套餐,才三百多四百元新台幣,即港幣不到一百元,還可以另外加餐酒,白酒一杯才港幣二十到三十元一杯!飽到撐,仍和開公數的上限有一大段距離。

街上亦越來越多咖啡屋,亦越來越浪漫漂亮,可見台灣的愛情劇集一點不比日韓遜色,是有原因的;相對地,香港一點都不似是談情的地方,難怪只出產警匪片與笑片!

一直很喜愛飯店樓下的一「球」藝術品,是從一大紮樹幹中雕塑出來的;讓我想起米開蘭基羅說過的:大衛像一早便在石頭裏了,他只是「將禁錮在石頭中的生命解放出來」。也許,這個「球」一早便在這紮樹木裏了,彷如「命運」一樣

為什麼性格決定命運? good question and i agree with it...

however, before thinking the linage of 性格,命運, think about what factors develop human's personality. this is the root question.

Hey..

This is Jade from Taipei. I just read your article titled GE. Well...I will be working for SABIC, which is pre-GE innovative plastic. I get more understanding about GE after reading your writing.

Well... your articles are pretty diverse, I like your writing style though.

Hi Paul,

Wow...you saw your reply is at 04.00. Haven't you got on bed? Staying over night is always harmful to your health!

There are so many decision to make in life. Sometimes, you encounter a big one, you need to choose wisely but follow your heart! It's my first time to see your blog and I want to read ALL OF THEM! My dream is working at GE and I really appreciate that your blog will help me to learn more of what kind of person GE wants and GE's culture! Thank you so much!

Crystal

Dear Crystal,

Thanks for dropping by. GE has changed, since Welch stopped to reign :) Nevertheless, it's a good company for young people to learn leadership. I do doubt though whether my blog can represent a typical GE person though, as most of them care for nothing but bottomline ;)

Cheers,
Paul

穿著戰衣的人會不時自我反省, 我相信不會可怕.XD
