一生是一連串大大小小的取捨, 是一不是二, 豈可得一又想二？

遊戲規則: 每人有青春一次、身軀一個、幾十年時間。

目標: 在有限的時間和社會架構下, 得到自己要得到的滿足, 包括金錢、學業、社會地位、美滿家庭、快樂等等, 因人而異。

每次的選擇都要付出你已有的一部份,所謂的"Opportunity Cost." 要金錢,先付出時間和少量青春; 要回購青春,更先付出時間和更多的金錢。

遊戲時限因人而異, 亦沒有先兆, 也沒有Take Two。

不敢玩？對不起,從你出生那天, 你己經在這遊戲的棋盤中。


ROAD LESS TRAVELED


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference
