沒有永遠對的價值觀

沒有永遠對的價值觀

朋友手拿一份報紙

說讓我做一個小小的測驗,我欣然同意了。

問題一:


如果你知道有一個女人懷孕了,她已經生了八個小孩,


其中有三個耳朵聾、兩個眼睛瞎、一個智能不足,


而這女人自己又有梅毒,請問,你會建議她墮胎嗎?



我剛要回答,朋友制止了我,又問我第二個問題。


問題二:


現在要選舉一名領袖,而你這一票很關鍵。
下面是關於這三位候選人的一些事實:


候選人A:

跟一些不誠實的政客有往來,而且會咨詢占星學家。


他有婚外情,是一個老煙槍,每天喝8─10杯的馬丁尼。


候選人B:

他過去有兩次被解雇的記錄,睡覺睡到中午才起來,


大學時吸過鴉片,而且每天傍晚會喝一夸特的威士忌。


候選人C:

他是一位受勛的戰爭英雄,素食主義者,不抽煙,


只偶爾喝一點啤酒。從沒有發生過婚外情。
請問你會在這些候選人中選哪一個?



朋友讓我把答案寫在紙上,然後告訴我說:


候選人A是:富蘭克林‧羅斯福,
候選人B是:溫斯頓‧邱吉爾,
候選人C是:亞道夫‧希特勒。
我聽了答案驚訝地張大了嘴巴。
朋友表情凝重地問我:
你是不是為世界人民選擇了希特勒?

那你會建議這位婦女墮胎嗎?

我說:這個問題不用考慮,我們受計劃生育優生優育教育多年了,


都生那麼多歪瓜劣棗了,就別再添亂了。當然墮胎啊。


朋友說:你殺了貝多芬,她是貝多芬的母親。

我又一次吃驚地張大了嘴巴。

朋友說:嚇一跳吧?本來你認為很好很人道主義的答案,

結果卻扼殺了貝多芬、創造了希特勒?

最後朋友總結道:

所以不要用既定的價值觀來思考事物。


我抓過朋友手中的報紙,原來真是一個測驗題,題目是《
你的決定滅了誰》。

重要的是,不是我們在哪,

而是我們要往哪走......


如果你知道往哪走,世界會為你開出一條路
帶著你的靈魂追尋美好事物與時光
所以凡事別太主觀
沒試你怎知道不行

................要加油喔

Did a 9Km+ run at UPR with Hot-Runners group

16 people turned up today to run together at the Upper Pierce Reservoir. I did a 9km+ distance. Did not monitor the speed, distance and heart rate for this run as I still have not went to replace flat-out battery of my Garmin watch.

I have always enjoy the run with the Hot-Runners. It motivates me to continue to improve and to keep running.

Ran 6km today in the neighbourhood

Ran only once last week while in US. Need to catch up with more runs.

Did a 6km run around the neighbourhood. Did not wear the heart rate and speed monitoring watch as the watch battery is flat.

Preparing for 2 running events..... 21km Half Marathon SAFRA Marina Bay run in August and Standard Chartered 42km Full Marathon in December.

Trying to clock in between 30km to 40km per week. Trying plan is to run slow at 9km/hr and maintain that average speed while keeping heart rate between 150 to 160 bpm.

Glad to be home

Caught a cold (not flu) when leaving hotel for the airport.... making the flight back from US to Singapore was quite tiring and with a bit of running nose.

Took a flu vaccination 1 week before I left Singapore for US. So if I do get a flu, it will has to be the new H1N1. But I was certain that I just having a cold with light running nose.

Glad to see the Limo driver there waiting to pick me upon arrival. Reached home in less than 20 minutes at 1:45am Sunday morning.
