没有任何的花言巧语
只有不经修饰的生活话题
断断续续的谈话
原来也塞满了静悄悄的问候
那一个中午的六分三十三秒
是幸福洋溢的......

如果将一只蜜蜂和一只苍蝇放进一个玻璃瓶中,然后将玻璃瓶平放,瓶底朝向较光的窗口,再打开瓶盖,你猜会怎样?何者会逃出生天?
实验证明,勤劳的蜜蜂会不断地在瓶底找出口,直至力竭而死;而苍蝇却可以在不到两分钟的时间内,从玻璃瓶口逃出。
随机智慧战胜传统教条
蜜蜂之死,是因为被传统智能和逻辑所误。
牠们以为,「密室」的出口必然是在光线最明亮的地方,
因此只管拚命撞向瓶底,重复这种牠们认为合乎逻辑的行动。
对牠们来说,自然界并无玻璃这种不能穿透的透明物体,
因此牠们的智力愈高,愈重视逻辑和经验,
这种奇怪的障碍物就愈发不可理解。
相反,智力较低的苍蝇对逻辑毫不在意,只管四下乱飞,
却误打误撞地找到了出口,构成了一个智者消亡、头脑简单者却得救的警世故事。这不单是一个寓言,而是美国一个著名的组织行为学者卡尔伟克的实验。他总结这个实验的教训时指出,冒险、试错、即兴发挥、随机应变以及迂回前进,都有助应付瞬息万变的世情。这这样的问题之所以紧迫,是因为模糊和不确定性,已成为当今企业管理的难题。
面对复杂的世界,我们需要的是随机性的智慧,而不是教条式的智慧。
The story given here is quite interesting and really gives us an insight into DECISION MAKING.
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.
Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make.
Analyse the situation…
Decided your answer!
Now … go ahead.
Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. To save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.
But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?
Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.
This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are.
The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.
To make the proper decision is not try to change the course of the train because the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.
If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe.
If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids
While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one. "Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right. "
Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.
原来是隔壁邻居的小孩子,只见他紧张地问:「阿姨,请问你家有蜡烛吗?」
女子心想:「他们家竟穷到连蜡烛都没有吗?千万别借他们,免得被他们依赖了! 」
於是,对孩子吼了一声说:「没有!」
正当她准备关上门时,那穷小孩展开关爱的笑容说:「我就知道你家一定没有!」 说完,竟从怀里拿出两根蜡烛,说:「妈妈和我怕你一个人住又没有蜡烛,所以我带两根来送你。」
此刻女子自责、感动得热泪盈眶,将那小孩子紧紧地拥在怀里。
纯真的心
有一个小镇很久没有下雨了,令当地农作物损失惨重,於是牧师把大家集合起来,准备在教堂里开一个祈求降雨的祷告会。
众中有一个小女孩, 因个子太小,几乎没有人看得到她,但她也来参加祈雨祷告会。
就在这时侯,牧师注意到小女孩所带来的东西,激动地在台上指著她说:「那位小妹妹很让我感动!」於是大家顺著他手指的方向看了过去。
牧师接著说:「我们今天来祷告祈求上帝降雨,可是整个会堂中,只有她一个人今天带著雨伞!」大家仔细一看,果然,她的座位旁挂了一把红色的小雨伞;这时大家沉静了一下,紧接而来的,是一阵掌声与泪水交织的美景。
有时我们不得不说:小孩子其实一点都不「小」,他 (她)们其实很「大」!他(她)们的爱心很大!他 (她)们的信心很大!
我们只不方便三小时
那天跟老公幸运地订到了票回婆家,上车后却发现有位女士坐在我们的位子上,老公 示意我先坐在她旁边的位子,却没有请这位女士让位。我仔细一看,发现她右脚有一点不方便,才了解老公为何不请她让出位子。
他就这样从嘉义一直站到台北,从头到尾都没向这位女士表示这个位子是他的,下了车之后,心疼老公的我跟他说:「让位是善行,但从 嘉义到台北这么久,大可中途请她把位子还给你,换你坐一下。 」
老公却说:「人家不方便一辈子,我们就不方便这三小时而已。」听到老公这么说,我相当感动,有这么一位善良又为善不欲人知的好老公,让我觉得世界都变得温柔许多。
心念一转,世界可能从此不同,人生中,每一件事情,都有 转向的能力,就看我们怎么想,怎么转。
我们不会在三分钟内成功,但也许只要花一分钟,生命从此不同。
