求你給我點亮光讓我安全地踏上未識之途。

他卻回答說：

邁進黑暗吧，把你的手放在上帝手中，

那比亮光更好，

比熟悉之途更安全。

「學校應引導學生對生活有期盼，而不是單去滿足僱主的期望。一個對自己的人生有期盼的人，才能找到人生的目標，才能令生活有意義。人不必按一般人衡量成功的方式而去生活，亦不必為了滿足僱主的需要而去決定應如何裝備自己。學校存在的目的，並非為了替僱主培養生財工具。」 

「我叫學生不必太重視見工時的細節，這種雕蟲小技人人都會掌握，做得好也突出不了自己。年輕人不必太謹小慎微，應表現出自己對人生有抱負、有熱情，才會感動僱主… 」 

「一個珍惜自己生命的人，一定不會讓自己浪費時間，去做沒有成效的事情。」 

「我以前去見工的時候，除了會讓僱主知道我對我想應徵的工作有認識之外，還會盡量讓僱主對真正的我有所認識。因為我這個人特立獨行死不悔改，如果因誤會而結合，一定沒有好結果。為了避免僱主做錯決定，我會設法讓僱主也思考一下…」

他於是去請教其他同事的觀點，有一位同儕向他解釋說：「我勤於工作是為了要賺錢養家。」另一位同仁喜形於色的告訴他：「我在興建校舍，幫助培育下一代！」

走進賣場，放眼望去，盡是上千個手機專櫃，玻璃櫃裡堆疊了八、九層各式各樣的手機。店家前面賣手機，店後卻是十多個農村青年擠在一個小房間裡，拿著銲槍與三用電表，幫客人維修手機，銲錫和汗臭味融合為一股特殊的味道。

賣場中，各省方言在賣場裡流竄，擠滿了東北與東南亞、俄羅斯、中東的手機批發商，背負麻布袋，收購大批最新的手機。

五千億元的山寨機浪潮

中國已經成為全球最大的手機市場。根據中國工業與信息化部的統計，截至今年九月底，大陸行動電話用戶衝破六．二億人口；光是每個月就新增八五二萬的使用人口，相當於每月新增一個中華電信行動電話的總用戶數，成長速度相當驚人。

最近一年，強調超低價、創新、酷炫、敢用最新科技的各種自創品牌或無品牌的白牌「山寨手機」，就像是電影《投名狀》裡驍勇善戰的土匪，群出山寨，創造了今年兩億五千萬支的大陸國產手機產量歷史新高。

拓墣產業研究所所長陳清文推估，去年大陸山寨機大約創造出六百億元人民幣（約新台幣三千億元）的產值，商機誘人，今年更將突破五千億元的產值。

Apparently the authors have strong Christian background despite their clinical psychology specialties. I would probably think that they have quoted too many Bible verses in the book makes it unnecessarily too biblical. The writing style is not as lucid as I’d like it to be and repetitive content could be seen. However, there are still some distinctive messages in the book.

The first one is “It takes Two to Make One”. While oneness is most often talked about in romantic love, we are often unaware of the prerequisite that for “two to become one” we must have two at the outset. Oneness requires two complete and mature people and here is where boundary comes into play. A complete person should be able to give and receive love, be independent and self-sufficient, be responsible and self-confident, live out their talents and values honestly, and deal with problems and failures. To achieve these, you need to have a boundary between the two. To the degree that either is less than complete as a person, the oneness will suffer.

Although there are no explicit Christian elements, I found this book to be highly coherent with Christianity faith. At the end of each passage, there is a little paragraph which is like a poem or a prayer. Viscott’s language is concise and he writes with clarity. As he says in the preface, “it cuts through to the center of each issue and speaks directly to your heart.” 

Below I extracted some of the power sentences from the book. They are not necessary the best ones as I believe you can find your own when you read it yourself.

This book by Chris Anderson draws us to look at this interesting aspect of how the internet world differs from our traditional world in regards to it having “its long tail”. What may not be significant in terms of scale in our traditional economic viewpoint has now been amazingly “glued into” an expanded market through the aggregators. The brick-and-mortar businesses like supermarkets, bookstores and cinemas which focus on the short heads by having a general filter for the collective mass live on hits, top tens and blockbusters. On the contrary, owing to virtually zero marginal inventory cost, the online businesses can offer a much wider range of choices through internet no matter their products be books, songs or movies. These products range from old products to new arrivals, brand new to used items, mass produced to individual works.

作為書中所說的第三代人，我看這本書時的感受是感到安慰的。因為這本書的主要論調是認為第二代人作為香港發展的得益者，他們卻扼殺了第三代在工作上的發展空間，也直接操控著第四代人的成長。我們作為「三十不出頭」的一代，作者為我們加添了多個原因，給我們在事業上的落開脫了。不知道第二代人看這本書時，又會有什麼感受呢？ 

我認為這本書是值得看的。縱然它不是嚴緊的論証，但它為我們解釋了很多身邊常見的社會現象，更重要的是它提出了一個觀點，就是個人的成就和他的出生年份有著莫大的關係(不是迷信的原因！)，時代和環境對個人的成敗得失起了重要的影響，有時更甚於個人的能力和才幹。
