怪咖浪跡 [格外篇] 青蛙王子

期待的電話, 始終沒有打來,
盼望的工作, 還是落空,
卻來了一則短信, 告知我落選了…

如果我說, 我並無失落感, 那是年度最不可信的謊言.
回望著自己的學歷, 自己的工作經驗,
換不了一份工程師的差事, 實屬一種恥辱.

擁有第一級工程學士學位, 又醬?
擁有輝煌的工作經驗, 又醬?
還不是, 失業漢一名?

我, 不能怪罪任何一方,
雖然, 政府為了振興經濟而推出的迷你配套, 我至今還未得到分文…
雖然, 只看到公司為了節約開支, 寧願聘請廉價的社會新鮮人, 而捨棄我…

我看到的是,
一個被自己學歷出賣了的我.
一個被自以為所累集的經驗出路很廣的我, 出賣了自己.


活在井里的青蛙王子, 如果一生都跳不出去,
會認為地球只有五公尺直徑的大小,
只是水, 磚頭, 和蚊子陪伴的黑暗世界,
有著那一個住在屋頂, 可惡的大桶, 不時打擾了水的寧靜…

等到井水快要乾枯了, 天空彷彿離自己越來越遠了,
蚊子舉家移民, 留下不能帶走的孫子
陪伴著那一直不願放下王子身段的青蛙,
苦苦的望著那住在屋頂的大桶.

一個星期, 一個月過去了, 那大桶還是高高在上, 動也沒動.
蚊子仍是沒有回來探望他留下的孫兒.
餓著肚子的青蛙王子, 無可奈何,
迫不得已丟下了王子的身分, 不停用雙腳用力掙, 想要跳出去
那怕外面是甚麼世界…

我們往往不捨得放下自以為高高在上的身段,
而不願去探討, 嘗試新的領域.

把自己的身段放下吧,
把自己想成一只青蛙的渺小, 去外頭闖一闖吧.
沒有找不到蚊子的青蛙, 只有餓死在枯井的青蛙王子…

2 sharing to my dear friend

(1) There is a chinese idiom

'sai weng shi ma, yan zhi fei fu'

Shi fu shi huo it is all depends on your thinking and action. Never give up never compromise. It is a good time for yuo to try new thing! i always believe that if you want something you have to do something, you have to do something that ppl don't do! I am also learning.

(2) don't trap yourself in a well.
If you accidently trap yourself in a well, the only way is use all youe strengths and wits to jump/escape/!

Hope this helps

It's good to know that you keep reading and finding...keep going.

失败乃是成功之母。
没有经历挫折的人生就不算活过。

还是一句话:加油!!!
你会找到自己要的!

人生中突然失去了目標,
的確需要一點時間站回起來,
我還沒到山窮水盡的時候,
也相信不會到那一個地步.
對於大家的擁護和支持, 我一定會再站起來!
