週一回顧

轉寫週記非我所願呀。日日雖然都圍住唔知乜野團團轉，但查實天天都有接觸過唔少事物會引發一d 不倫不類既感想。印象中（唔得閑實地翻查），12月1號應該係我開鋪紀念日，至今大概。。。五年啦好似。。。昃番個 folder，家下正負二三十篇posted 文書札記紀錄屁話，剛好500篇咯。（係架啦，家陣咁既精神狀態典會記得咁清楚呢，是是但但算啦）

最近自把自為，同老細做左d 未探清佢心意既人治工作。呢d 人治工作仲要係同自己完全無關添，有時真係好唔明自己點解係鍾意做埋呢d 行先死先既野。。。都好，證明我仲有團火，夠膽死先斬後奏，打死罷就，心境年輕。

去圖書館睇到1948年響上海拍既某照片，話當年超級通脹，通脹率係過萬倍計。銀行擠提，仲著長衫既男男女女，似足人肉蜈蚣咁排隊，任何兩人中間連頭髮都攝唔入。令我諗起曾幾何時有好多人話中國人排隊係都要後面推前面，好唔文明好唔禮貌。呃，其實咁樣都反映左中國人對應對爭論既態度。呢種密集隊形，縱使外表好似唔禮貌唔文明，但實際上就減少左好多插隊既爭拗，即係以一致性既行動去curb verbal arguments。

朋友同我講，話佢響內地某高級主管會不惜一切，以走後門既方式去克服前面既一道專業障礙。呢道障礙話佢唔合資格攞工傷，但佢自己就認為一定係工傷。朋友好肯定咁話佢係為錢喎。我覺得，或者啦，雖則佢真係比我清楚呢個人，之又令我聯想起goal theory裏面既goal, path, tool。個goal 無論點大義凜然，走一條藐視專業既 path，準備一筆小費做 tool，得出黎既result，就係，隨便用一筆小費就可以大義凜然咁買起呢條友既專業。

睇左《作死不離三兄弟》！同事驚奇問我點解會帶埋兩隻野去睇，識睇咩？阿仔唔識架（似乎），阿女就追字幕，但追唔切，睇唔明，不過都睇到男主角個名叫藍丘囉。有時呢，小朋友都可以偶然參與一下大人活動，世事唔一定要完全明曬先可以做人架嘛。套戲，我會用Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme去形容，五味紛陳也。

CNN話黑色星期五搶購日超熱喎。正面意見話，美國經濟復蘇啦，咁叉多人掃貨。負面意見話，就因為預期乾塘，所以咪趁早趁平掃貨囉。

比對一下BBC同CNN既Top Stories，琴日 BBC講好多英國內部野，講下 regiona。CNN呢，竟然變左中東台，埃及也門敍利亞巴基斯坦 and Bahrain！（突然諗起副歌... Ming the minibus is on the road....），本地新聞少之有少。唔知係咪都反映左英國人同美國人對新聞內容既傾向呢？又會唔會反映美國人比英國人更外向，更鍾意好管別人（閒）事呢？不過睇番CNN既 Most Popular，又係比較local囉。Oops，返轉頭，似乎係電台既定位問題，卦。

阿米上次講開專業。我既睇法係，專業既基本目的，唔係錢，而係專業本身。意思係話錢唔係目的，正如Rancho話齋，唔好追尋成功，自己做好，成功就自然黎。道理一樣，專業追尋專業，就自然成功，追尋成功，就會失去專業。呢個道理應該好易明，因為如果醫學界再以維持質素為名，暗渡保護飯碗既陳倉，呢個專業招牌唔會守得穩，因為市民會懷疑提供專業服務既目的。又如果市民真係唔信任醫學界，咁，唔該咋咋林幫我check下有咩本地中醫集團股，等我瞓身買落去！

米爸又提到豁免考試。首要諗清楚，咩叫考試。招聘專業，從來唔需要考試。因為專業團體所賦予既名銜，就等同完成考試。你係CPA，Big4就認為你合格；係CFA，i-bank 唔會俾多份試卷你考。。。一個考試唔能夠證實或為你個專業資格正名。加入一個專業機構前要考專業試，即係唔認同你個專業身份。唔認同你專業身份就會打擊專業服務既信譽。所以考試，絕對不必，亦不可。

講返入職。試必須免，但篩選必須有。事前篩選就係選定專業資格。定好邊個專業資格合乎要求，免試。如認為不合乎要求，應聘都無資格。正如Qualified Accountant唔可以因為響會計師行考左試就可以認定佢可以做 CPA 一樣。如果醫管局要考試，即係話只請輔助醫療人員，唔係請醫生。此外，事後既篩選，主要係面試，審核資歷、性格（及其他參考資料）、確認經驗係咪符合要求、夠唔夠年資等等。

至於阿米話IQ果part，等佢請食飯再講！（恭喜升職加薪！）

係咪應該忠於自己？

話唔寫港政，始終都守唔到寡。

教育界

我唔係支持唐唐，但聽到教育界話要領袖樣板喎，就覺得呢個要求唔係唔合理，而係唔多現實遮。

舉下幾個標準教室例子，以下三條友有幾個獨特特質，好多人都識：

1. A君婚後與數個女人有染，五名子女共經歷了19次結婚和15次離婚（維基資料）。

2. B君酗酒，好雪茄，與A君關係密切

3. C君素食，並主張禁煙，未婚但一般只有一位親密女伴，A君死時拍掌叫好。

選特首或者要兼顧個人道德，不過，既然係教育界，唔好鼓勵莘莘學子睇道德睇得咁片面丫。

未清ABC君所指為誰者，請移步留言欄。

醫學界

最近班私人執業醫生既咩咩學會，話擔心外國畢業醫生響香港執業會導致醫療水平下降喎。

用呢個咁既理由去反對外國畢業醫生響香港執業，令我極度鄙視佢地。唔係因為鄙視佢地既立場（呢個此其一），而係呢班友既 IQ（唔係智慧）。

咩原因唔想亦唔洗多講。總之，最好香港醫生大曬，專業界別永遠壟斷，以後就可以安享太平，頤養天年。

醫生話要同病人同生共死，有時一d 都唔偉大。

（題外話，琴日報紙評論話佢地點解反對係因為要政治正確。。。我披！連乜係正確都分唔清楚，講乜叉政治正確！）

唔公平

係，我真係覺得唔公平，亦唔係反話。

早幾年倉促搬屋，六月份阿女未經面試就入讀幼稚園下午班。

今日收到通知，阿女通過計分制再次未經面試入讀首選小學（以15分，即首名子女）。

同事話報紙講今年首輪派位中簽率新低喎，得45%，上年都有47%。報紙話有家長話制度唔公平喎（呢種角度係唔係記者都識用），都唔係大問題，始終一件野得唔到永遠都有原因、有理由。

呢位同事個女今次抽唔到，亦知道競爭大，同我講話自己成日都會擔心，又學唔到我地咁次次都咁自在。

老實講，我地其實唔自在架。對於阿女選校入學唔上心，唔係敷衍一句，話信得過大大老闆就說得過去。我地只係，阿女有更值得我地憂心既野：佢既性格發展、同阿仔同其他人既互動關係、點樣面對困難。。。

呢三樣都搞唔掂，讀乜小學都假，所以話揀小學，絕對超碎料。我同事話雖然明，但始終做唔到。

而我就覺得，既然自己揀左呢條緊張兮兮既路，就要面對呢條路所帶黎既艱辛。而我欣賞呢位同事既地方，係佢無怨天尤人，亦唔打算將佢既兮兮緊張傳染比佢個女。

我好鍾意呢位同事。

心亂如麻

區議會選舉

感想有三。

1. 政治泡沫和經濟泡沫的共通點 - 議題炒作
2. 合理並合乎現實的結果
3. 公共政策尋求的是解決方案，然則政治尋求的是權力後台，前者是雞，後者是蛋。

討伐與懺悔

世上太多寂寞的心，太少撫慰寂寥的人，太多佔便宜的混蛋，太少撿便宜的好人。

不能從政的一百個理由

1. 太聰明，知道聰明必被聰明誤
2-4. 太多年少輕狂，太多感情缺失，太多蜚短流長
5. 志不在高，有錢則靈
6.-100. （待從政後再寫）

外傭居留權官司後感

1. 尋人尋物尋回音啟示：件事攤凍曬，幾乎唔再係話題；選舉之後更加渺無音訊

2. 先有法庭指首宗司法覆核只適用於該個別申請，而不適用於其他申請，後接二連三有外傭家庭申請司法覆核，部分被駁回。結果說明其中一個觀察：香港大眾對法理的理解，好容易受政治考慮所左右，亦容易受政客詮釋所影響。法律係專業，而詮釋或試圖解釋法律條文或法律觀點，係眾律師眾大律師既專業職責。我所觀察到既實情係，呢班法律既專業人士，包括政府班律師，都無好好協助市民去理解法律觀點，容讓市民去接受未受毫無專業訓練既政客既詮釋而不作任何反駁。好難怪市民會將來唔尊重專業人士，尤其班所謂法律專業人士。

3. 政府偏幫某些政黨意見已非首次，如果為左推行政策而去尋求政黨支持，亦絕屬無可厚非。之但，我等市民看在眼裏，知道政府明知有更強觀點在前而不進行及時修正，可見得呢個政府都幾弱勢（or 弱智），要聲東擊西先可以施政。

4. 繼續覺得，香港人越黎越討厭競爭，討厭提升自我競爭力。對於呢份感覺/觀察既一個古怪推測係：某d大財團扼殺合理競爭（即創造總體壟斷）既表現，製造出兩極感受，一，點反抗都無用，不如消極附從之；二，一定要反抗，仲要提升上政治層次去反抗！雖然感受處於兩極，但導向同一結果：外向型動力，以夷制夷。內向型動力，即自學，受到壓抑。心亂如麻。

政經以外

越黎越討厭談論政治，因為太多強加選擇予他人，要我逼人埋牆角實非我所願。要我下下以理性（理論）觀點去為視角辯護，又與我感性非常既性格相沖。真係好矛盾耶～

經濟更加唔在講，職場上股海中既高買低沽已經係我大半個人生既寫照，再講，隨時再次自我實現，不提也罷。

嗯.... 遲d 都係寫下Call of Duty 7: Modern Warfare 3 既打後感，應該比較容易入手。

Unaffirming political and economic activisms

Abraham Lincoln

“You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot further brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.
You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.”

Dr. Giles Fraser

"St Paul's Cathedral is built on a deep theological fault line. On the one hand it's set within the boiler room of global capitalism, and on the other it proclaims a theological story that has some pretty fierce things to say about money and wealth.

These two powerful tectonic plates, God and mammon, meet right under Wren's magnificent baroque masterpiece. It's little wonder that St Paul's can be one of the most challenging and uncomfortable places in which to do theology.

None of which is to say that the Church is in the pocket of any political creed or economic philosophy. Indeed, I'm not even completely sure that the Church should go too far down the road of proposing specific answers to complex economic problems.

Rather, it's the calling of the Church to draw attention to the human cost of financial injustice, and to reset the debate about our financial institutions firmly within the context of a bigger story about what human life is for.

This has nothing to do with bringing down capitalism. Markets create wealth and jobs, and indeed those who want to dispense with capitalism are often better at saying what they're against than they are at proposing convincing alternatives.

Nonetheless, part of the reason why Christianity is so suspicious of money is that the power and glamour of money can easily corral us into a narrower and narrower sense of what it is to be human."

Margaret Thatcher

"I'm never quite sure what you mean be consensus politics. I believe that what most people want in their lives, is what the Conservative Party wants to have for them. I believe that our policies are fundamentally common sense policies. Just let's take taxation for an example. Wherever I go I hear enormous resentment about the amount which people are paying out of their own pay packet in tax. And, this goes right across the income ranges. Socialism started by saying it was going to tax the rich, very rapidly it was taxing the middle income groups. Now, it's taxing people quite highly with incomes way below average and pensioners with incomes way below average. You look at the figure on the beginning of a pay slip, sometimes it can look quite high, look along the slip to the other end, and see how many deductions you've had off, those deductions have increased enormously under Socialism ... "

"... I would much prefer to bring them down as soon as possible. I think they've made the biggest financial mess that any government's ever made in this country for a very long time, and Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them. They then start to nationalise everything, and people just do not like more and more nationalisation, and they're now trying to control everything by other means. They're progressively reducing the choice available to ordinary people."

**Margaret Thatcher on Socialism

人生不簡單之處，在於人必須事事躬親、持之以恆，方可尋找一套切合自己原則的信念和選擇。隨便或刻意以主義之名，以信仰之名，以大多數之名來替代自己所須的事事躬親、持之以恆，其前路亦將以新主義之名，新信仰之名，新大多數之名告終。倘若人生就是無限的選擇，二者擇其一即非人生、反人生也。

固然人生免不了要摸著石頭過河過紅海，惟世代人非先知非摩西，過河之法亦非得棒打大水領眾走旱地一途。

我見759阿信屋的故事等，即對某及某等財團心存惡感，想此乃人之常情。但同時亦警醒自己，我的惡感所為何事何干。

我獨以自己的認知、判斷、行動為芻狗。
