鹹魚人生也可以 One of us
畢業多年的學生在臉書分享，沒有夢想的人跟條鹹魚無異
甚至妄自菲薄、自嘲鹹魚還比他有多一點的利用價值
哈，這當然是工作繁忙之餘的小小宣洩
但我因此腦子轉了好幾圈
人是不是一定要懷抱著某種夢想，然後努力實踐它
這樣人生才有意義、才有價值？
萬一真的沒有夢想，那人會有多慘？
也曾經覺得人活著卻沒有夢想會很慘
總覺得有夢想的人才會活得積極、精彩、不像行屍走肉
簡言之，才能活得像個人
然而，沒有夢想竟也活了那麼多年
就實證經驗來說，這樣的人生並不慘啊
雖然我也不知道自己好運快被用完了沒
只是經驗法則告訴我，努力做好手邊的事就會一切沒事
好像很簡單，其實也不是真的很簡單
即使是盡本份，如此基本的事也是充滿各種挑戰
即使我想跟大家廣結善緣，也還是會踢到鐵板
除了能力，我想更多時候是EQ決定了一切
不知道自己什麼時候變成一個許多人心目中高EQ的人
明明我在報台情緒爆起爆落得那樣鮮明、頻繁
也還是會在教室裡飆學生、在辦公室和同事細數學生不是
偶爾也會和同事一起感嘆人事已非、英雄末路的無奈……
或許是抱怨的次數略少一些，或許是我總盡量笑臉迎人
或許是骨子裡的傲氣讓我沒在怕而顯得從容一些
其實，就一個沒有夢想的人在努力做好手邊的事而已
想計較、能計較的都十分有限
心理不平衡的情況自然少了許多
連家人都鮮少聽我在家裡抱怨什麼工作的事
如果我愛說，早就被架回家不給我去上班了吧(((哈)))
然後發現，原來沒有夢想也不是什麼嚴重的事
當個庸庸碌碌的平凡人也沒什麼不好
至少，天塌下來也是別人去扛
近日接連被人誇獎「優秀」，讓我心虛到不行
那些踏實築夢、逐夢的才真的優秀咧
胸無大志、沒有夢想的懶人實在是承擔不起
不過就是盡本份而已，真不懂是優秀在哪裡
把份內的事做好是很基本的，不是嗎
做基本的事卻被誇優秀，真怪啊
我很想問，人生沒有夢想就很慘，這誰教我們的啊？
說不定很多人也都沒有夢想，也照樣活得好好的
不是每個人都關心有沒有夢想這回事
就好像不是每個人都關心最近天文物理學家算出的結果說
時間有一半的機率會在37億年內終止……馬的，誰管它啊
不關心就根本不會有「沒夢想，人生就很慘」這樣的結論
盡本份、扮演好自己的角色、廣結善緣
這樣的人生，心安理得
就算像鹹魚，也自有一番味道
[The thing she says at the beginning:
one of these nights at about twelve o'clock
this whole earth's gonna reel and rock...
things thay'll tremble and cry for pain
for the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane.]
Lyrics:
If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with him
In all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that
you would have to believe
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
and all the prophets
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
