這個故事比喻的真是棒！
有一個人在森林中漫遊的時候，突然遇見了一隻飢餓的老虎，老虎大吼一聲就撲了上來。 他立刻用生平最大的力氣和最快的速度逃開，但是老虎緊追不捨， 他一直跑一直跑一直跑， 最後被老虎逼入了斷崖邊上。站在懸崖邊上，他想： 「與其被老虎捉到，活活被咬、肢解，還不如跳入懸崖，說不定還有一線生機。」
他縱身跳入懸崖，非常幸運的卡在一棵樹上，那是長在斷崖邊的梅樹，樹上結滿了梅子。 正在慶幸的時候，他聽到斷崖深處傳來巨大的吼聲，往崖底望去，原來有一只兇猛的獅子正抬頭看著他， 獅子的聲音使他心顫，但轉念一想： 「獅子與老虎是相同的猛獸，被甚麼吃掉，都是一樣的。」
當他一放下心，又聽見了一陣聲音，仔細一看，一黑一白的兩隻老鼠，正用力地咬著梅樹的樹幹。 他先是一陣驚慌，立刻又放心了，他想：「被老鼠咬斷樹幹跌死，總比被獅子咬好。」
情緒平復下來後， 他感到肚子有點餓，看到梅子長得正好， 就採了一些吃起來。 他覺得一輩子從沒吃過那麼好吃的梅子，找到一個三角形樹丫休息， 他想著： 「既然遲早都要死，不如在死前好好睡上一覺吧！」
他在樹上沉沉的睡去了。睡醒之後，他發現黑白老鼠不見了，老虎、獅子也不見了。 他順著樹枝，小心翼翼的攀上懸崖， 終於脫離險境。
原來就在他睡著的時候，飢餓的老虎按捺不住，終於大吼一聲， 跳下懸崖。 黑白老鼠聽到老虎的吼聲，驚慌逃走了。跳下懸崖的老虎與崖下的獅子展開激烈的打鬥，雙雙負傷逃走了。
由我們誕生那一刻開始， 苦難．就像飢餓的老虎一直追趕著我們， 死亡，就像一頭兇猛的獅子，一直在懸崖的盡頭等待， 白天和黑夜的交替，就像黑白老鼠， 不停地正用力咬著我們暫時棲身的生活之樹， 總有一天我們會落入獅子的口中。
既然知道了生命中最壞的情景是死亡，唯一的路， 就是安然地享受樹上甜美的果子，然後安心地睡覺， 只有存著這樣單純的心、少慾望、多一點赤子之心，才能好好的享受你在世上的每一分每一秒 。 如果剛才你和另一半或是和家人為了芝麻綠豆的事鬧翻了，現在頭頂還在生煙的話， 請你看看那晴朗的天空和那飄渺的白雲，其實你又錯過了美好的一天呀 !

Hello Vincy. My great pleasure in knowing you. It so happened that I've just graduated this year and is starting to practice at a dental clinic. My blog may seems a bit blue and downsome, but that's a way for me to relieve my pressure during work time~ Fear not, dental life can be both good and bad at the same time.... Life's great when you got the appreciation and compliments from patient, and it can be hellish when dealing with angry and in pain patient... it's a lot of excitement and fun at the clinic each day ^^ So look forward to your dental career and cheer up :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, which Uni and year are you in now? I'm just curious~ And I saw your blog with Chinese.... will you happen to be of chinese ethnicity?
Hello again Vincy~ Are your born in Malayasia? I am a chinese too and i can read chinese but i dont know how to type chinese, so you can see all my blogs are in English >.<
ReplyDeleteTreasure the time you spend in Dental school, life can be tough, i perfectly understand that as what you mentioned are more or less the same as in HK (ha ha, i especially like it when you say picky doctors and the unreasonable exams, the working life is even more horrible as you're not only facing your boss (in my case, he will scream at me even in front of the patient....) but also the patient as well (Once they pay you the money, their expectation will rise to a unreasonable level.....) At the dental school no matter how worse the situation is, there's always someone to turn to who's going to bail you out (with or without scolding you).... If i have the chance i'd love to spend a few months at dental school to get me ready for the real working environment~
(Maybe I'm too biased, i was yelled at by my boss this afternoon.... Work is no fun at this moment)
Work hard and be a good dentist :P I have strong faith in you.
Let's keep in touch. You can add me on MSN if you like, lam0423@hotmail.com, though i only log on there once in a while.
