Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously by Osho

今日Auckland大部分地區都受到Power Outage的影響,所以很早便放工了。早上還未被公司解散的時候,一位同事在閱讀一本書。而我就在看到這本書的title時,被吸引過去。同事見我感到興趣,就給我看了看,真的很有意思。以下是從書本中找到的幾句quote:

  • When there is more insecurity and more danger, the only way to respond to it is by awareness.
  • Freedom creates fear. People talk about freedom, but they are afraid. And a man is not yet a man if he is afraid of freedom.
  • There are two types of living: one fear-oriented, one love-oriented. Fear-oriented living can never lead you into deep relationship. You remain afraid, and the other cannot be allowed, cannot be allowed to penetrate you to your very core. To an extent you allow the other and then the wall comes and everything stops.
  • The love-oriented person means one who is not afraid of the future, one who is not afraid of the result and the consequence, who lives here and now. Don't be bothered about the result; that is the fear-oriented mind. Don't think about what will happen out of it. Just be here, and act totally. Don't calculate. A fear-oriented man is always calculating, planning, arranging, safeguarding. His whole life is lost in this way.

對的,有太多人介意個結果,介意從做一件事中得不得到甚麼好處,想得太多,最後失去了機會,失去了從中所能獲得的樂趣。可能,我們從小都比社會的珈瑣而括限著。甚麼應該做,甚麼不應該做,都被社會的主流觀念而被限制了。我同事也說得對,"If you always worry, you can only go so far as you are backing away once you've hit the boundary".

  • Never miss the unknown. Always choose the unknown and go headlong. Even if you suffer, it is worth it – it always pays. You always come out of it more grown up, more mature, more intelligent.
  • Listening to your own heart, you will start moving in the right direction, without ever thinking of what is right and what is wrong.

我想,我也要學多點面對恐懼感,不要想太多,學會想做就去做...and live dangerously with JOY?? :P
