    前路

    決定畢業後留在香港是五月底的事。

     

    一直想把這件事寫出來做個記錄,可是由於之前從來沒有想過事情會這樣發展,思緒帶點混亂,一時間無從下筆。拖拉了兩個多星期,總算冷靜下來,終於可以把前因後果寫出來。

     

    事情是這樣的。

    Houston回來之,一直忙於準備畢業所需的資料,預備畢業後回Houstonpost-doc

    所有事情都如預計般順利發展,直到今年的四月之前

    四月初,老闆忽然給了一個有趣的project,是我本身的研究以外的。花了一個月左右,project接近完成階段,老闆突然問我有沒有興趣畢業後留在香港,做類似freelance的研究工作。這可說是一條之前完全沒有想過的路:第一,我一直想的都是做post-doc,其他的實在沒有多想。第二,這份工作的性質有別於純學術研究,可說是帶點商業味道。最後,freelance並不是一份固定的職業,風險相對是很大的。

     

    在詢問過家人及幾位好友的意見後,我反覆思考了幾個星期。除了比較兩個選擇的好處及壞處,最重要的問題是那一個才是我追求的人生。

    這個問題相對簡單。

    我想了解這個世界運行的原理,想看見因果,即是說想追求學問。雖然在美國也可以學到很多很有用的知識,但現階段的我最想要的是無拘無束的思考空間。就是基於這個單純的理由,我選擇了一條崎嶇的路;就這樣,我未來幾年恐怕孤單一人獨自上路。前路雖然茫茫,但是這樣就是人生吧!

     

    在這裡實在要跟在美國的朋友說聲對不起,說好了要回來的,最後卻沒做到。但是說不定不久將來還是會再見的:就像今次這樣,將來的事誰知道呢?

    Don't know why I get to here. You know what you want in life, that's probably most important, and taking risk is part of it. Best of all, you're not alone. Good Luck!

    無疑你在美國可能獲得不少知識,但礙於研究的節奏過份緊迫,所以將不會有太大空間接觸其他層面的知識。

    最近有點時間看看論語:

    子曰:「君子不器。」---《論語‧為政》

    我想,或許這也是你決定(暫時)不再往美國的原因吧。
