三字经

古人的智慧，真的能耐岁月的考验。


小的时候，对《三字经》是一窍不通。或者，应该说，从来都没有听过。只是，在某些电视节目中，偶尔听过那开头的几句：人之初，性本善；性相近，习相远。。。。


几个月前，WY 为了文化艺术团的绿团表演节目， 背诵起了这《三字经》。我在几年前，逛书局的时候买下来的一本精美封面的《三字经》，终于能排上用场了！


也就在差不多这个时候，我也第一次打开这本‘小孩子的书’来翻一翻。 不一会儿，就一口气地读了好几行。


当然，其中有很多行，看起来似乎很简单，一下子就明白了。更有一些，读起来有一些似懂似不懂。


总之，我开始对这些‘智慧之言’，有了一个初步的认识。也开始对它另眼相看，好像有点‘不可轻视’的感觉。


因为，它行行都好像很有道理，都是对我们起着警惕的作用。


《三字经》也让我有很多的感触。

昨晚， 我接了通电话。话说不到几句，便挂了线。


事情的对或错、好或坏、应该或不应该、可以或不可以、往往都只是因为个人的立场和观点不同。。。。。 或者，真的是“习相远”了吧？

Trying To Figure Out Why Cannot Publish

I have a whole update on August happenings and September accounts waiting to be published onto this blog. But somehow, whenever I try to do this, it fails.

So, I shall try again later. Be patient.

F1?! Bah!

Yesterday morning, R and I were caught in the massive traffic jam on our way to work. That inaugral F1 thingy - what a terrible, lousy start for us to this "singaporegp season"!!! We took over an hour just to get to our office. Our average travel time is about 20 minutes.

I think we close our major roads too massively, too readily and too often these days. So what if we get onto global TV for a few seconds?! Is it really a worthwhile exercise if we have to paralyse ourselves in exchange for it? And that is not yet considering the economic costs this fiesta incurs!

Reminds me of the Chinese saying: 打肿脸皮充胖子！Working commoners like us suffer. Sigh.
