First day of exam... Took bus to school. Woke up at 6.30am. Haven't woke up at this time for ages le... It feels quite good actually... The beautiful sunrise, warm morning sun, the scent of fresh air and nature...
So anyways, upon boarding the bus, I sat down on an empty seat and took out my iPod... All the chairs were purple... I thought my chair was pruple like the rest... I didn't know that I was sitting on a blue chair until the person opposite me on the bus stood up, and that was when I looked back on my own chair to find that it's actually blue too, different from others just like the one that the man opposite me sat on...
也许听起来这是一件很小的事,但对我来说却有另一番领悟。因为我在巴士上坐在反方向,看得到其他的所有人,看到椅子都是紫色的,所以认定自己就和世界上的其他人都一样,只是众多人类中的其中一个,也坐在紫色椅子上。然而,当我对面的人站起来时,我看见他坐的椅子竟然是蓝色的!这时候,我才想到要回头看一下,自己到底坐在什么椅子上?这一回头,竟发现自己原来和世界不一样...... “当局者迷”这句话有它的道理。因为自己身在其中,甚少反省的人,就会盲目地欣赏着世界所有别人的,却忘了欣赏、珍惜自己所有的。
我也许并不算上有自卑心,却也不懂得以自己为傲。如果连自己都不懂得欣赏自己的话,那就太可悲了。我向来就是这样,以为因为自己和其他人一样都搭着同样巴士,就和他们一样,都坐在紫色椅子。但当看到原来在这辆巴士里有蓝色椅子时,自己才开始回望。为什么要等别人的肯定,才开始认识真正自己呢?
这,只是搭巴士。但人的一生中,等到能令自己反省的事发生时,时间已经流失,如泼出去的水一样,不可收回。何必等别人呢?就靠自己,在今天开始欣赏自己的好,做那个启发别人的“蓝椅人”吧。 |
