在人生旅途上,大家不住的往前低頭疾走,向着自己的人生目標進發。每天營營役役無事忙,有沒有想過為何?有幾許會提醒自己慢下步伐,關心一下跟自己萍水相逢,或在旁邊擦身而過,或於人生交滙點有緣碰上的您?

臨老學藝

心血來潮, 加上受人梭擺, 去年開始, 跟人去學玩滑雪板(snowboarding). 一把年紀, 才去學這一門屬於年輕一輩的玩意, 朋輩們都說:"遲了一點吧!" 我說:"有心唔怕遲". 

滑雪板這玩意更是年青力壯一輩的尊利. 唸大學的時代, 每天只管上班趕工程上學趕課堂趕作業, 忙得不可開交; 修的又是"冇屍骸"的學科. 錯過了跟友儕一起去滑雪的機會. 現在年紀大了, 抱著"人一世, 物一世"的心態, 硬著頭皮也得一試. 真的"臨老才學藝", 但要花上多三倍的努力.

玩滑雪板的器材其實很簡單, 只需要一塊滑雪板和一對滑雪鞋(snow boot), 護眼罩和預寒衣物便可. 當然, 要征服雪山之巔, 往山頂邁進, 還需得要加上大量用不完的體力, 和無比的勇氣不可.

乘坐吊車, 往海拔七,八千呎的山峰邁進的時候, 眼前蔚藍的天, 山上白茫茫一片, 耳邊是出奇的寧靜, 只聽到風聲颯颯, 和偶爾從身邊或腳下飛過那麻鷹發出的叫聲; 加上無比清新的空氣, 心裡有一種說不出祥和的感覺. 但當到達山上的終站, 裝上滑雪板後, 情況好不一樣. 眼前雖然也是白茫茫的一片, 但那一望無際, 腳下整個滑雪小鎮盡收眼底的無敵風景, 比畫還要美, 還要醉人. 而眼前所面對的, 卻是一條四十五度向下傾斜, 教人心寒的雪道.

深深的吸一口氣, 踏著滑雪板, 往山下衝的一剎那, 耳邊萬籟俱寂, 頗有風蕭蕭的感覺. 當速度漸漸加快, 很自然有想飛的衝動. 那種自由的, 無拘無束的感覺, 比開快車還要刺激. 偶爾有一兩個從身邊擦身而過, 名乎其實的"風中趕路人", 感覺真的...很迷人.

玩滑雪板, 講求速度控制, 平衡, 手腳和身體的互動配合, 還有膽量. 是鍛練腰部和大腿的最佳運動. 技術好的, 能夠來去自如, 有如在雪地上翩翩起舞, 好不精彩. 夜間滑雪, 更另有一番風味: 在皎潔月色映照下, 襯托白雪一片, 透出點點微黃燈光, 感覺很是迷人, 浪漫得叫人窒息.

不過, 偶一不慎, 少不免也會跌倒. 要命的是, 跌倒後, 要兩倍的氣力才可以再站起來. 其實, 這運動危險性頗高, 很容易受傷. 尤其是當玩上半天之後, 體力開始呈半透支狀態時, 受傷機會更高. 有很多朋友只試過一次, 受過傷, 逼於無奈地便要放棄.

但程某自幼便練就一副賤骨頭, 本著大無畏精神, 從不輕言放棄, 校風"永不言死"長記心中. 跌, 不打緊; 跌倒, 要知道導致跌倒的原因; 從新爬起來, 再繼續往前走; 不可以怕跌便害怕而放棄. 下次,遇到同樣情形, 亦懂得怎去避重就輕, 就算再要跌, 也不會跌得那麼痛,那麼傷.

每次跌倒, 都是一個經驗. 人跌過, 會變得更堅強, 更成熟, 更有味道. 經歷過, 跌過, 痛過, 懂得再爬起的, 才是真的漢子.

真的漢子--林子祥

成和敗努力嘗試,人若有志應該不怕遲,
誰人在我未為意,成就靠真本事,
做個真的漢子,承擔起苦痛跟失意,
投入要我願意,全力幹要幹的事。

誰用敵意扮誠意,行動算了不必多砌詞,
迷人是這份情意,誰沒有傷心往事,
做個真的漢子,人終歸都要死一次,
無謂要我說道理,豪傑也許本瘋子。

同做個血性男兒,願到世間闖一次,
強調我兩手創動人故事,
成敗也不再猶豫,用我的真心真意,
懷著鬥志向競爭的圈裡追,
人生有特殊意義,(人生有特殊意義),
能改變我的際遇,(人生有大意義),
能演變動人故事,(一生也讓你記住),
求獻身維護正義。
