I will be ok——一个生活中积累的可贵信念

我们每个人都在生活的经历中不停地积累着：有些行李箱越来越沉大，有些家当越来越精致，有些技术技能越来越纯熟，有些记忆越来越难忘，有些银行账户越来越fat，有些房子越来越宽敞，……——It's all good, but, is that all?

上星期的一天和一帮球友们聚餐，N向大家宣布，他又换工作了。N可是个能折腾得家伙，没上过大学，高中毕业就开始“工作”了。他干过的活儿算得上是琳琅满目：在面包房里揉过面，在饭店里当过侍应生，在房屋维修公司里干过修屋顶通下水的差事……。直到去年，按我们玩笑的话说才开始变得civilized，先是在一家计算机公司给人做硬件修理支撑，这下要到另一家去做Programmer了。我们大家都为他高兴。

30出头的他从来乐乐呵呵没有抱怨过什么。席间有个刺头朋友问他，why the hell on earth you did not think about doing something civilized earlier? Hearing this question, I think everyone of us, at least I, was expecting some 终于修成正果后的沧桑感慨。But his response surprised all of us. He said, the way I see it, with every job I took, I know I can do more stuff; with every job I took, I know if there is any new stuff coming up next, I will be OK ---obviously not drunk yet and still knows what he is talking about, heh... We then all cheered for him.

啄磨着N的话，我不禁回想起了有些日子前看过的一部挺不错的大陆电视连续剧《血色浪漫》。那是一部讲文革前出生的一拨儿北京的军区大院里的子弟们几十年的生活变迁的片子。其中一个情节是，改革开放初期，男主人公从部队复员回到了北京，性格突兀的他注定是不会接受到一个派出所或者什么衙门机关里找个差事了事的“命运安排”的。于是他调侃着可以去街头摆摊儿卖煎饼果子。后来果不然，真就置备了行当，在街头练起了无照经营的煎饼果子小烟贩的摊儿，而且干得不亦乐乎。

和他们相比，我想我们很多人的生活经历应该算是平坦的了，至少少了一点不知明天会怎样的未知，少了一点未来会怎样的彷徨，哪怕只是短暂的。但是或许也因为如此，我们可能也少了一样可贵的那种特殊经历带给他们的醒悟，一种信念——A belief that no matte wherever I'll be & whatever I'll be doing, I will be OK.

不是在厚此薄彼跟咱好好的自己找茬儿，更不是在提倡每个人都辞了现在的工作跑到街头练煎饼果子或者hotdog的摊儿去——哈。我想我希望和大家分享的，是我们可以从他们身上读到的那种平凡坦然的信念：with so many years of life that I've experienced, with so many knowledge and skills that I've worked so hard to obtained, with a smart and intelligent me who is ready to explore and learn anything new, tomorrow, I will be OK.

Bearing such a belief in mind, we work hard, give every ounce of our effort and hope for the best following them in everyting that we are working on. But in the mean time, if things ever turned out to be the opposite way as we have expected, even the worst case scenario 'unfortunately' became reality, we will always know, I am ready for any alternatives, I am ready for them ----hey, bring them on! （心里有了这样一个底线，那么在现实生活中就会少一点患得患失，多一些洒脱和信心。）

Back to N's story. After rounds of drinking, he said at a point, you know what? what I want most is to have a Caribbean beach house, enjoying the beach and doing nothing everyday ---- hah, 喝多了，“伪君子”酒后吐真言，原形毕露了。

.....

We all know that it is going to be quite a journey for N to go from a computer programmer to a 'freeman' on Caribbean beach, but I think we all believe, no matter how many stops he will be making on the way there, not matter what he will be doing along the road, we know one thing for sure, that is ---- He, will just be fine.

Safe Journeying, Dude!
