新官上任三把火


新官上任三把火,但燒得太早,很容易燙傷許多人,包括自己

大多數的同仁都很興奮,因為單位裡調來一位新主管,據說是個能人,專門被派來整頓業務;可是日一天天過去,新主管卻毫無作為,每天彬彬有禮進辦公室,便躲在裡面難得出門,那些本來緊張得要死的壞份子,現在反而更猖獗了。

「他那裡是個能人嘛!根本是個老好人,比以前的主管更容易唬!」
四個月過去,就在真正努力為新主管感到失望時,新主管卻發威了--
壞份子一律開革,能人則獲得晉昇。 

下手之快,斷事之準,與四月表現保守的他,簡直像是全然換個人。 
年終聚餐時,新主管在酒過三巡之後致詞:

「相信大家對我新到任期間的表現,和後來的大刀闊斧,一定感到不解,現在聽我說個故事,各位就明白了:「我有位朋友,買了棟帶著大院的房子,他一搬進去,就將那院子全面整頓,雜草樹一律清除,改種自己新買的花卉,某日原先的屋主往訪,進門大吃一驚的問:『那最名貴的牡丹哪裡去了?』
我這位朋友才發現,他竟然把牡丹當草給剷了。

後來他又買了一棟房子,雖然院子更是雜亂,他卻是按兵不動,果然冬天以為是雜樹的植物,春天裡開了繁花;春天以為是野草的,夏天裡成了錦蔟;半年都沒有動靜的小樹,秋天居然紅了葉。

直到暮秋,它才真正認清哪些是無用的植物,而大力剷除,並使所有珍貴的草木得以保存。」說到這兒,主管舉起杯來:

「讓我敬在座的每一位,因為如果這辦公室是個花園,你們就都是其間的珍木,珍木不可能一年到頭開花結果,只有經過長期的觀察才認得出啊!」

3 questions in life



1. Where do I come from? (Origin)
2. What am I doing here? (Purpose)
3. Where I am heading to? (Destination)

Human being is a creation which granted with "Free will".

We may choose what we want to believe (act of free will), however, controlling the consequence from our act is beyond of our control.

Generally, there are 2 views on the origin of life.

One its by "accidental" and one is by "creation".

Darwin's view, Big bang theory, or even William Provine theory, which is based on the existence of everything, is accidental. or is a merely a series of events happen and results is, everything we touch, or experience right now is purely accidental or random.

Recently, there is a question put on me, does the things around us, earth, start, life form on earth, is just merely coincident, or just "exists" after a explosion.

I would say, as one who pursues to understand or obtain new insights, usually we will face a unknown matters or incident, which couldn't be explained by the current advancement in research. However, instead of believing things happen just randomly, I would put all my bet that things do happen in a fundamental mechanism, in which, is still yet to be revealed to human beings.

Or even a small school of people, would adopt a probabilistic approach, which using a certain calibration factor, in the end would obtain a similar result. However, it didn’t explain the physical meanings, or why didn’t it happen? (Origins)

Yes, one may able to guess what I am referring about. There is a creator for everything, when we see a car, pen, desk, building, we do expect someone ideas, or a creation by somebody. To those free thinkers out there, it’s your choice to choose what you want to believes, however, you are to face the consequences of your choices.

When I am a teenager, serving in Church, always there is a question which asking by my non-believer friend. "Why do you believe there is a God (Creator) out there? Proof it!”
Instead of answering "I don’t know how to proof if, I just believe it".

Now I would answer, imagine you walking up a stairs, suddenly, you noticed a 9 cupcakes arranged in a perfectly "田" shape. Then, what you would expect? You will expecting 'somebody' must have purposely arranged in such manners. Which return to our question , when we saw, or experience such beautiful scenery, majestic mountain, unsolved mystery, we would wonder, who created it, instead of believing it happen by accident/ explosion.

I should have answered him with such answer back when he asked. I should have. ^^
