一九九七年, 我讀到了一本讓我終身受用的好書. 這本書在一九九八年改版為 New Manual For Life, 書名譯為‘生命花園’. 此書的作者 Dr. Bennet Wong 及 Dr. Jock McKeen, 是加拿大 The Haven Institute 的創辦人, 也是我心中永遠的導師. 書中的第二章‘在車站等候’, 提到:
生命的精彩, 在於勇敢地參與其間未知的旅程, 而不是枯等在車站, 錯失一班班駛過的列車.
下文中, 引用了兩位老師的一段話, 鼓勵對個人與專業成長感到好奇的朋友:
別再等候, 就把握眼前的‘這班火車’吧!
大多數的人認為, 他們的人生似乎有一個特殊的目的 ...
事實上, 這些人相信, 將會有一班專車,
帶領他們到一個稱之為‘成功’的預定地.
於是他們在月台上不斷的等候– 檢視著一班班駛過的列車 ...
或許他們會細細的打量經過的列車 –
心中猶豫著是不是應該搭上這班車?
但是沒有一班車能清楚地標示出目的地,
因此列車一班班駛過, 沒有人有上車的勇氣 ...
這些在車站等候的人, 慢慢變得跼蹴不安.
奇怪– 要等到何時才會有清楚的指令讓我們上車呢?
他們深怕搭錯車, 浪費了時間 ...
所以火車繼續在眼前駛過, 而他們仍在車站等候 ...
殊不知, 人生的每一列車都有著相同的終點,那就是 - 生命的終點. 既然如此, 何不讓我們就跳上眼前的‘這班火車’, 把握第一時機盡情地參與即將展開的旅程呢! This book was edited in 1998 and renamed as New Manual For Life. Its Chinese edition is called 生命花園. The two authors, Dr. Bennet Wong and Dr. Jock McKeen, are founders of The Haven Institute in Canada. Dr. Wong and Dr. McKeen have been my beloved teachers and forever friends. Ben and Jock use the train station as a metaphor for life. In Part One of their book they mention (p.7) -
The richness of life is created by courageously participating in journeys that may seem unknown to you. Thereafter I quoted the following sentences from the above chapter: Waiting at the Station, as a way to encourage people who are curious about personal and professional growth: Please don’t wait up! Take your chance and welcome board The Coming Train! Most people seem to believe that destiny has some particular goal for them, …
In effect, such people believe that there is a specific train that will carry them to a particular locus of success; so they wait in the train station watching all the trains go by, …
They might closely examine each passing train to see if it is the right one; but, because the destinations are never clearly marked, each train passes without being boarded. In the station, these waiting people become restless and discontent, wondering when they will be given specific instructions about which train to catch. …
They are afraid of wasting time by getting on the wrong train …
So trains keep passing them by. Yet they do nothing but waste time in the train station. What such people do not realize is that all of the trains have the same destination – death. That being the case, these people would do well to board the very next train, take the first opportunity to
become involved with the activities on the train, and be present for the trip. Quoted from New Manual For Life (Part One: ‘Waiting At The Station’ - p.7)
