在中學年代,記得有一次在 EPA 課堂上,當時老師大讚 Les Miserable (孤星淚) 。更在一班同學的要求下,老師唱了他最喜歡的一首歌 [Do you hear the people sing?]歌詞如下 :
*Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes!*
Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight that will give you the right to be free!
repeat *
Will you give all you can give so that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of France!
repeat *
當時聽完心跳加速,幻想到革命就是要流血,站了起來便要預備好犧牲!犧牲了未必會有結果,但如果我們讓情況繼續下去,你會甘願一直忍受著折磨,還是會鼓起勇氣跟我一起站起來反抗?當煽情的說話走進熱血青年的耳朵,那種化學作用就更加不可想像。
前途問題,今日被問及前途。在下愚昧,明知香港本就是一個以金融 / 服務業為主的地方,本地的I.T.只是為了輔助 或 加快某些流程,但在下實在還熱衷於 I.T. 界裏的一齊,故明知山有虎 偏向虎山行。執著...對工作執著...為的只是一丁點的滿足感 ~ 那種感覺要到 Project 完成參與者才會感受得到 ~ 對某些人來說 這是一種不切實際的時間燃燒方法。
在下的決定,在下會繼續堅持!
