華盛頓開會期間，跟史丹福大學教授閒聊，正當盛夏當然要問暑假去哪處放假，一問他眼睛便發亮神采飛揚。 他急忙拿出手機高興地播放跳降傘的精采錄像，見他在空中翻騰興奮樣子，醫生羡慕萬分，這正是多年想完成的心願，惟至今仍未實現。 不是負擔不起，也不是畏高，就是拿不出勇氣，要嘗試人生從未嘗試的新事物實需很大勇氣，年事愈長就愈不想離開自己的comfort zone（舒適區），所謂舒適區不外是一種心理狀態，感覺到安全舒適無壓力，一戀上這舒適區便很難逃離。 西班牙籍美國名廚Jose Andres曾說：「Life begins at the end of your comfort zone」，意思是生命始於舒適區邊緣，亦是間接地說在舒適區內找不到新生命，要闖出舒適區才能感受到生命的活力。以他為例，在美國擁有米芝蓮三星級餐廳，就是不甘舒適日子，決意成立World Central Kitchen（世界中央廚房），專為災區和戰爭地帶供應派發熱飯，他的義工曾為過百萬難民帶來飽餐，Jose Andres也因此獲頒多項國際人道獎。 醫生過往六十多年人生實也回應着Jose Andres的說法，進寄宿學校、入醫學院、放棄加國生活回港發展、進軍肺癌領域、開創科公司……每項重大決定都必須離開comfort zone，人生才能有意義地走前一步。 要人生快樂，便不能夠太舒適。 撰文 : 莫樹錦 欄名 : 醫筆稱心 Source link

Copenhagen Fashion Week kicked off on Monday and in its usual trailblazing way, the focus was squarely on sustainability as well as style.
