Have A Little Faith 02

P78

Mitch Albom:

We live in a world where your genes can be mapped, where your cells can be copied, where your face can be altered. Heck, with surgery, you can go from being a man to being a woman. We have science to tell us of the earth's creation; rocket probes explore the universe. The sun is no longer a mystery. And the moon which people used to worship? We brought some of it home in a pouch right?

So why, in such a place, where the once-great mysteries have been solved, does anyone still believe in God or Jesus or Allah or a Supreme Being of any kind? Haven't we outgrown it? Isn't it like Pinocchio, the puppet? When he found he could move without his strings, did he still look the same way at Geppetto?

The Reb:

If you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that i must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search.

And no matter how far they try to go the other way - to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty - at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When life comes to an end? When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

Thoughts:

The seemingly irreconcilable differences between Science and Religion. The opposites of Logic and Faith. Sometime the differences are being highlighted so much that any similarity or compatibility is overlooked. For one, there is actually a science and research department in the Vatican. In there, a pastor is also a scientist. Logic research to uncover mysteries of the universe does not mean that faith needs to be forsaken.

Have A Little Faith 01

繁忙的生活,不该的惰性,
让我许久未畅游书海间。
这次,终于又拾起书卷,
盼望再次找到书中黄金屋,
领略人生的道理。

P44

Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.

这就是所谓的身体力行吧。再伟大的梦想, 再创新的想法,若不付诸于行动,全是徒然。

P57

He had a way of looking you in the eye and making you feel the world had stopped and you were all that was in it.

不管是面对客户,朋友或家人,这都是一个应该有的态度。只要是自己关心,在乎的人,就应该让他们有被重视的感觉,而不是被忽略。

P64

By contrast, I spoke to a hundred people a week, but most of the communication was through email or text. I was never without a Blackberry. My conversations could be a few words. "Call tomorrow." Or "C U There." I kept things short.

The Reb didn't do short. He didn't do email. " In an email, how can I tell if something is wrong?" He said. "They can write anything. I want to see them. If not, I want to hear them. If I can't see them or hear them, how can I help them?"

的确,虽然对于像师姐这样熟悉的人,我有自信可以从简讯的字里行间准确的揣测她当时的心情,但这样的默契毕竟少有。更多时候,千言万语还不如一个眼神的交际。
