智慧

亞歷山大帶著大軍東征西討，到了非洲深處，出乎意外的，遇到有一地方，全境都是女人居住掌管的地方。

當亞歷山大大帝佈下大兵準備攻擊時，女人國的領袖來見他，對亞歷山大說：「打這場仗，假如你勝了，殺了我們，那麼人們會說，亞歷山大只不過是勝了女人而已。但是萬一你被我們打敗呢？歷史會大肆記載，亞歷山大最後死於女人之手。」

亞歷山大心裡想，這女人講的話是有道理。於是說「我可以放過你們，但請你們給我一些麵包。」

過了不久，一條純金打造的麵包放在一個金盤上，就送來給亞歷山大。亞歷山大看了一眼這閃閃發亮，卻無法品嘗其美味的麵包，嘆了一口氣說：「你們是什麼樣的民族，會用金子來做麵包呢？」

您從那麼遠的地方來，相信你們那裡不會沒有麵包，因此我們以金子打造麵包，代表我們對您最高的敬意。」一個女人回答。

據說，亞歷山大在離開時，在女人國入境的門柱上題刻著「我，馬其頓的亞歷山大，是個愚昧的人，直至來到這裡，才從女人國學到智慧。」

什麼是智慧呢？

智慧是要能在矛盾對立的選擇中，找到適當的平衡立足點。

解決問題需要勇氣，可是不能太魯莽或太懦弱；

要有尊嚴，是不驕傲也不粗俗；

要謙虛，不自大也不卑屈；

要謹慎，不冒昧也不膽怯；要說話，不多言也不寡言；

要用字遣詞，用得恰到好處。

此外，有智慧還能化矛盾為合諧，化危機為轉機，絕處能再逢生。

在亞歷山大與女人的矛盾對立中，金麵包代表的就是用智慧解決問題，找到的一個平衡點。如果女人國在亞歷山大要求麵包時，貢上可吃的麵包，那麼也就表示她們臣服於亞歷山大，亞歷山大不費一兵一卒，就戰勝了她們。可是她們也不能拒絕或得罪亞歷山大，於是她們按照亞歷山大要求的，換給他一個更昂貴的禮物，如此女人國還略佔了上風，因為她們把本來表示她們臣服於亞歷山大的麵包，換成象徵她們的勇氣和自主權的金麵包。

在軍事上，她們也許比不上亞歷山大，但在政治謀略上，她們卻毫不遜色，而且略勝一籌呢。

這故事說明了解決問題的關鍵不在權勢力量，運用邏輯和智慧，甚至能抵擋最強大的軍事武力。亞歷山大代表世上的強權力量或十分難解決的問題，沒有人能用武力征服亞歷山大，他是被智慧所征服的。另外，在故事裡，亞歷山大知道他能從女人學習智慧，就虛心接受，甚至承認自己是愚昧的人。真正有智慧的人要能有雅量虛心學習，不管學習對象是男人或女人，強者或弱者，甚至是被你征服的人。

婚姻

初戀總是寶貴的，令人難忘的，遺憾的是，十有八九的初戀，都不能成為婚姻， 因為不能成為婚姻，初戀又顯得更為寶貴，讓人回味無窮。

阿偉是一位心臟科醫生，和太太結婚二十年，兒子已入大學。 在一次大學舊生會，重遇初戀情人Alice。Alice當年是眾男生的夢中情人，公認 的美人兒。就是現在，仍比實際年齡漂亮年輕。當初，為了一個誤會，再加兩人 的自尊心特強，就這樣分開了。後來，Alice去了外國，阿偉留在香港。初戀的夭 折，一度令阿偉痛苦不已，幾乎垮了，幸虧得一位護士同事的關心和鼓勵，令他 於走出感情低谷，重拾心情，這位女同事就成了他的太太。

不料二十年後重逢Alice。那晚，他們談了很多，解除了誤會，只是，大家都已人 到中年！次日，Alice打電話邀阿偉去淺水灣酒店燭光晚餐, 阿偉問：「是不是請我太太一起去？」 Alice回答：「我只想請你一個人，我們已失卻太多時光，現在是彌補的時候「對不起，除了因公事，晚上我一般不單獨外出吃晚飯。」 「你不是怕老婆吧？」Alice譏諷他。 我怕老婆！」他直認不諱。「我好怕不自覺地令她不開心。」

幾日後，Alice又特地讓速遞公司送來一封信，信封上寫明要他親啟，並且注 明：only for you！阿偉將信原封退回。 「本來，我會讓太太也看這封信的，既然你不希望她看，我也不看了。我已習慣 與她分享生活中的一切喜怒哀樂。」

Alice很不忿氣。她見過阿偉的太太，已中年發福，且不擅修飾，像個屋村師奶， 相反，自己比實際年齡要年輕得多，風韻猶存。當年阿偉追她追得這樣熱烈，他 不可能對她失卻feeling的，一定是阿偉的太太兇神惡煞。 她一不做二不休，當 下親身到他診所。

阿偉，你只需講yes or no。你仍對我有 feeling 嗎？你還愛我嗎？你以前是十分愛我的。」

阿偉只笑笑。「愛一個人與恨一個人同樣需要精力和能力。感情過去了，應該無 愛無恨，古人說，一笑泯恩愁。讓已過去的、無法改變的事實影響目前，根本毫 無好處。我已將我的全部愛分給我的家人，而且，我已過了這種玩浪漫感情的年 紀。」

Alice仍不死心。「你真的愛你太太？還是僅出於一種義務和責任？賽過當年對我 那份初戀之情？」

「我是醫生。我相信一種科學說法，真正的愛只能維持十個月，正好是由胚胎到 嬰兒哇哇出世所需的時日。這或許是從生物進化的角度來解釋。但愛不同愛情，愛，或許是一種由荷爾蒙分泌而激發出的感情反應，一如我們悲傷會流淚,開心會 微笑，是一種很生物式的感情反應。用一個不合適的比喻：雄性動物在追求異性 時，毛 會特別亮麗，叫聲也會特別悅耳愛，只是一種行為，動物也懂得用舔觸等 動作表示『愛』，然而，唯有愛情，才是人類獨有的能力。一個情字，令人類愛 的行為，變得成熟、深沉，由一種單一的行為上升為一種情懷。我很懷念我們的 初戀，但我更珍惜我和太太的婚姻，珍惜我們一起走過的這段路。」

阿偉的思路非常清晰，不愧是位名醫生。他十分明白，當初，在他感情最低谷、 最消沉時，是現在的太太給他溫暖，喚起他的信心。後來，太太省吃儉用，自己 帶著兒子獨守空巢，支持阿偉外出留學深造。這二十來年，是太太伴他走過來 的。太太全心於這個家上，無心顧及自己的儀容、衣著，她將每一分一秒，都花 在家人身上。而且，太太屬於那種生活低調，安於做男人背後的女人那種類型。 阿偉不想太太為了他而刻意改變自己，做她不喜歡做的事。因為愛她，他也尊重 她，由她選擇她自己喜歡的生活方式。

「我們互相看著白髮開始萌生，皺紋出現，因為這後面包含著許多只有我們兩人知道的故事，孩子的出世，我們第一間屋的喬遷，雙方父母病故的哀痛，我們升 職，她的一次有驚無險的大手術……點點滴滴都寫在她和我的皺紋上，也只有她和 我才懂得。至於你，Alice，我很懷念那段我們花樣的年華，但我不會用現在幸福 充實的家庭生活去交換那段時日的延續，這只有百害而無一利。如果我們都珍惜 我們的初戀，珍惜這次難得的二十年後的重逢，我們就這樣互相握手、互道『珍 重』吧！」

Alice聽了這番話，默默擁抱了阿偉，轉頭就走。

人說，蒼蠅不叮無縫的蛋。 今天婚外情、一夜情泛濫， 但這絕成不了你忽略她、冷淡她的理由。 珍惜你與她一起走過的路， 而你對她的愛，會如醇酒，愈陳舊愈香

Life ~ Rick Warren

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife nowhaving cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. This is anabsolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren,'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church inCalifornia

In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:
People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In anutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to lastforever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body--but not the end of me.
I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillionsof years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. Godwants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.

We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, lifeisn't going to make sense.
Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're justcoming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one..

The reason for this is that God is more interested in your characterthan your comfort.
God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in makingyour life happy.
We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal oflife. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.

This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also thetoughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer. I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a darktime, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believethat anymore.

Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind oflike two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have somethinggood and something bad in your life.

No matter how good things are in your life, there is always somethingbad that needs to be worked on.

And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always somethinggood you can thank God for.

You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems.
If you focus on your problems, you're going intoself-centeredness,'which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one ofthe easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourselfand onto God and others.

We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds ofthousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy forher.

It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her atestimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.
You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.

Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. Forinstance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 millioncopies, it made me instantly very wealthy.
It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal withbefore. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.

So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notorietyand influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decidewhat to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72

First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change ourlifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases.
Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary fromthe church.
Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The PeacePlan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for thesick, and educate the next generation.
Fourth, I added up all that the chu rch had paid me in the 24 yearssince I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating tobe able to serve God for free.

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions?Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Oram I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God,if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more andlove You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-dolist. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.
May God's Blessings on you today.
