選擇的胡思亂想

「經一事長一智」似乎並沒發生在本人身上。近來有某幾個可能轉運的機會，也沒有好好把握，面對選擇時做的決定並沒有隨年歲漸長而變得聰明一點。

IPod隨機播放卻傳來下面這首歌。


"What if" by Coldplay

What if there was no light.
Nothing wrong, nothing right.
What if there was no time?
And no reason or rhyme?
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side.
That you don't want me there in your life.

What if I got it wrong?
And no poem or song..
Could put right what I got wrong,
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life.

Oooooh, that's right
Let's take a break jump over the side
Oooooh, that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try?
Oooooh, that's right

Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
But that's the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life.
That you don't want me there by your side.

Oooooh, that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the side.
Oooooh, that's right
How can you know it when you don't even try?
Oooooh, that's right

Oooooh, that's right
Let's take a breath jump over the inside
Oooooh, that's right
You know that darkness always turns into light
Oooooh, that's right..


要鬥差，大概利物浦足球隊Riise在本週二棄足用頭的選擇都算經典。

健康指標

在辦公室無意中聽到某幾位中年男同事談論著剛剛做過的身體檢查結果，似乎今年他們的膽固醇又或是類似的指數又再超標，言談間頗為憂心。其實聽說他們做這種身體檢查發現超標已有數年，從當時起他們已經非常注重飲食，午飯時已經結伴去找清淡健康的食店。現在看來，這種純綷注意飲食卻沒有運動配合的努力還是白費心機。

想起去年父親輕微中風時在急症室求診時醫生的話。當時父親提到曾經自量血壓見到高讀數，這位醫生卻說，不要對這些讀數太執著，有些人量到高血壓也未必會中風，但是如果見到高讀數卻緊張兮兮，原本沒有病也會嚇到覺得有病。

上述見解也可能適用如何解讀身體檢查報告：現代人越注重健康可能反過來越變得更神經緊張，健康攪得更差。

自我申報：我從來沒有做過這種年度身體檢查，上述其實是風涼話。
