我相信人性本善。
It takes time to know the true essense of
a person, even the best psychologist can't
sense everything right at the very moment
of encounter.
All my life, I see the nice nature
of human being and very often tend to believe
that is how we are before the negative
destructive effect from the outer world.
所以大部分時候我都是覺得我看到好的部分,
就真的是好的。
但是啊....還真有不少的事情走近、仔細一看,
並不是那麼一回事。
Therefore, I treat people around me nicely and
think people are genuinly nice.
Well...I'd say that the class which we learn in
contact with people in real life does teach me
a good lesson. It kinda bites!
It'd be easy if I were in my own country and
weren't in a country with multinational people
whom I have to deal with from time to time,
I would have stopped being friends with
this kind of hypocritical people while though
still maintaining basic politeness in contact
with them.
以為我的室友人很好.....但人真的要相處。
一開始只覺得她是太有禮貌、太客氣。
她常掛在嘴邊的話是:「真不好意思!」
但當她因為我們一起參加一個聚會,
我把她要吃的薯片零食放在我的盤子,
要她直接拿來吃,省去她的麻煩時....
那麼小的事,
她也可以一臉愧疚地說:「這怎麼好意思」時,
我真的開始覺得她怪怪的。
後來,我就知道事情不是表面那麼一回事。
我們常說:「禮多人不怪。」
但是如果對很熟的人也這樣,
那就太見外,根本心裡不把他當朋友看。
在英國有些東西買多價錢會便宜非常地多。
拿薯片來說,如果我去便利市超買小小一包,
可能要59p(NT$30);
但我若去超市買一大包,裡面有9小包,
卻只需要99P(NT$50)。
所以有些東西,我當然會選擇後者。
因為知道她愛吃零食,
有時還故意只吃零食就當一餐。
我就把每一種口味都分給她一包。
結果,她竟然回房間拿了二顆金莎巧可力給我!
我和她說:「你真的不用那麼客氣!
我也吃不完。我不太愛吃這樣的東西的,
只是偶爾還會想吃一些。
因為不想多花那麼多錢,所以才買大包的。」
沒想到,她竟然說:「我也是很大方樂於分享的人。」
每次我煮菜,也幫她多弄一份,
她就會問我要不要喝她從家鄕帶來的泡湯;
但如果那天是她先煮湯,
她就不會問我要不要喝。
真的是把她當做比我年紀小的妹妹照顧。
因為我一直都是被別人照顧的那一個。
一路走來除了對我不斷付出的姊姊,
身邊很多的朋友也都大我很多,
他們也都超照顧我的。
所以....覺得對她好一點也應該的。
一開始她這些過於見外又奇怪的舉動,
對我來說只是「小女生,還沒長大」。
很多留學生的家境都很富裕,
全身名牌,很懂名牌但非常節儉的她,
就會說:「他們憑什麼?!」
我們家也不太好,但我並不會特別羡慕這些有
錢人家的孩子。
「名牌」--又如何!
有人整身的名牌,但內在呢?
人品呢?有沒看過一身身名牌的人很不大器的?
未來的大品牌,在任何時間都有可能產生。
有些好的東西不見得有品牌。
再說...我自己就是個名牌。
明明我24歲時就已經在地球村教書2年了,
我不記得我那個時候有她現在的不成熟。
我如果手上沒有現金,如果先跟她借,
一去銀行領錢,就會馬上還給她。
但她連一隻剪刀都要跑來問我用完了沒。
到現在她都還欠我一些錢,卻完全忘記!
如果是不要佔別人便宜,不會那麼做的。
在我看來是「雙重標準 加 虛善」 !
做人為什麼不能真實可愛一些呢!
一向討厭就是這樣的人,
在台灣我會馬上把她例入「拒絕往來戶」。
但因為人在異鄕,很多事情無可奈何,
只有忍受下來了!
There are people wearing famous brands
all over their body because they have rich
parents. My flatmate often gets a bit jealous
of them. She is always frugal and careful
with her money. In fact, a lot of international
students, especially Asian students are pretty
well-off if they can come so far, so it's not
uncommon to see them with a lot of gadgets
of big brands.
What is the meaning of it if
you have all the nice brands on you but nothing
nice or genuin within or inside of you?
This is why I never envy them.
I, myself, am a good brand.
I know some brands become famous because of
their reputation in quality or they simply hired
the top branding and marketing specialist to help
them. It's just possible that there are future
famous brands coming in the the market right now.
We choose who we are; not what we were born
decides what we are going to be.
