| 小薯仔又有新招﹔今次除了做雜誌及寫那個兩星期一次的「專欄」外﹐也開始學編輯副刊。 自從碰了副刊的事﹐每天時間過得很快﹐24小時越來越不夠用。然而﹐能夠碰到周刊以外的工作﹐多與不同部門的溝通﹑多學一點新的東西﹑多多了解這個行業如何運作﹐還有怎樣學習分配時間﹐心裡還是有一份滿足感。以前的忙﹐好像是無事忙﹔現在的忙﹐是忙中帶樂。 再說﹐真的要再報CPP的話﹐相信這數個月的經驗﹐一定令我得益不少。起碼﹐以前做雜誌只需要寫文﹑配相﹐想想那篇文章怎樣能夠表達自己心中所想﹑採訪所得﹔現在編那個版面﹐除了一貫的內容外﹐還有很多細微的事項要注意。怎樣去取稿審稿﹑安排每篇的位置﹑內容是否連貫﹑顏色怎樣配搭﹑讀者的口味是否照顧得到。一些從來都未會想到的事情﹐現在逼著每天都要細心留意。 做了這份工作一個星期﹐我開始佩服那些老資歷的編輯怎樣一眼關七﹐一看就知道欠了什麼﹑需要什麼﹑怎樣排才有興趣。那些大編輯一編就是24頁的版面﹐而我這個小薯仔﹐還只是負責一版。不過﹐剛起步又怎能奢求什麼﹐畢竟自己不是新聞系出身﹐又從來未接觸過編採﹐現在也只是暫用時間來換智慧﹐靠不斷的看﹑不斷的吸收﹑碰釘﹑改正去彌補自己的經驗不足。 希望帽子不會因越戴越大而應接不暇吧﹔嗯﹐好好努力。 | | |
| Captain Sullenberger was the pilot, who along with his crew, successfully guided the crippled A320 to a successful water landing, saving 155 passengers. The plane suffered a double engine flame out during the initial climb-out phase, as a result of bird strike.
At the Airline Pilot Association Awards Ceremony, Sully the pilot said: "Those of us who have chosen this profession as a life, have answered a noble calling. We have promised that we will prepare ourselves well, that we will exercise great care of every flight, that we will not become complacent, the we will remain vigilant, and that we will act as the conscience of the industry.
"We do these things for three reasons:
- Our passengers deserve it
- Our colleagues expect it
- Our profession demands it"

Certainly an inspirational speech!
Dan Ashley's Interview with the Captain: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/video?id=6671039
Reading his autobiography also provided me with new dimensions on how to attain the right attitude if you want to work in this industry. The captain got an important point - his successful water landing, apart from benefiting from the right conditions, was also due to years of mental preparedness on various safety aspects of flight, as well as human capabilities and limitations. Through that critical three minutes and more, he put everything to the test, and emerged victorious.
Winners go to those who prepared themselves properly.
Certainly a good book that I fully recommend, not only to the aviation enthusiast, but also to anyone who wants to learn from wisdom.
Precisely it is speeches as such that urges me to work hard, in hope to be part of this group one day.

| 大人的世界裡﹐
有權威的人說話未必可盡信。
最信賴的人未必有能耐解決問題。
有輩份的人未必有智慧。
能言善辯的人未必溝通得到。
最友善的人最有可能笑裡藏刀。
最不起眼的人往往身懷絕技。
有心人說話通常都不大中聽。
滿臉誠懇的人與虛偽是一線之差。
還有﹐
快樂要辛苦經營及細心栽培。
苦惱與困惑只需順手招來。
直覺有問題通常到最後真的出事。
到最後﹐
仍在追求簡約的生活道理。
仍在尋找快樂的根源。
買了指南針﹐人卻仍然迷路﹐需要打死火燈。
跑道尾聚了很多人......難得。天色真的很美 ~ 樂而忘返﹗
漂亮......首遇印航新款波音777-200ER。

| 因工作關係﹐在市中心這個歷史悠久的墓園耽了近兩小時﹐有點寓工作於娛樂﹐完全值得。 難得有一個恬靜的環境﹐不用煩世間的人與事﹐即使面對滿地落葉﹑冰冷墓碑﹐仍感到有如置身世外桃園。 在一排又一排的石塊中穿插﹐看著銘文上的名字與生卒日期﹐又會想想那人在生時究竟做了什麼。有些更不用想﹐單看名字已知他有什麼貢獻。 塵歸塵﹑土歸土﹐管你生前風光一世又怎樣﹐最終不也是同樣佔據那六呎下的地方﹐不會多不會少。就算六呎上如何絢爛浮誇﹐泥土之下仍然朽壞腐化﹐聖賢凡人無一例外。 近日讀到新聞看到母親向子女餵藥﹐燒炭共奔黃泉﹔又看到社民連三子在立法會惹事生非﹐不禁想其實有很多事情是否要看得那麼緊﹐有很多事情又是否僅剩暴力抗爭一途。 去到最後﹐所謂的名利錢財﹑面子尊嚴往哪裡去﹖真的給你好處盡收﹑敵方俯首認錯又如何﹖到最後名成利就﹑權傾天下又如何﹖那一刻﹐你得到由衷的滿足嗎﹖撫心自問﹐你又真的心靈安樂﹑晚上睡得穩嗎﹖ 千山我獨行﹐皆因行者悠然自得﹔在混濁染滿醬臭味的陶缸中﹐他們能夠排除萬難﹐找到真正的心靈滿足與快樂﹐而非那片刻踏在別人頭上﹑賴人痛苦而找尋到的快感。 心靈的淨與靜﹐是自己仍在追求的境界。
