Life before death

今早在 The Straits Times
看到一个特别的广告。

大大的标题,
Death.

整个的版面,
印满了字。


If we were to trace all our fears down to their very root,
we would inevitably come face to face
with the Spectre of Death.

Whoever is born, dies.
A birth and a death,
in fact are the two only requirements for a life.

Death is a friend
who sits on our shoulder to remind us that,
as we are only here for a short visit,
shouldn't we be smelling the flowers along the way?

Once we learn how to die,
we'll learn how to live.


新加坡慈怀理事会的广告。

要告诉我们
新加坡仍有一群人,
关心着末期病患。

A Life before death.

很多人不曾那么想。

听过一个故事,
与我的职业有关。

某人因职场上的压力,
开始精神不振。

听了,伤感。

因为觉得自己一生不会太长,
所以不想为了工作变成这样。

因为
you must first live your life,
before you can teach others life.

聽過太多太多的人跟我說,記者不是一項可以長久做下去的職業,除非有很好的情緒管理。

很多人都受不了壓力,而紛紛離職,所以記者這行業一直都缺人手。

我看過一篇關於老師的,最容易患的是與喉嚨有關的病,因為老師一直說話,有時破口大罵…

其实,最严重的是精神病。
到处都一样,不只是新加坡。
