味道永留在心


冰島最著名的羊肉熱狗,前美國總統克林頓也曾吃過。這麼著名啊?那即便要排長隊我也來排。到我了,小檔的窗口,我見到的是一位臉很臭的年輕男職員,我說我要一個熱狗,他問我要什麼 topping (配醬料),我笑臉問有那些?他還是同樣的臉告訴我,有 onion、mustard、ketchup。。 真想問有沒有 'smile'?我吃着沒有微笑配料的著名熱狗,不覺得有多好味。


過後我們來到著名的龍蝦湯 Saegreifinn 小食店,店内只有两個客人在吃着,不用排隊,一位年輕笑臉的女職員(老板?)。我要了一碗龍蝦湯,付了錢,要我們先坐。很快,湯來了,麵包是湯的配食。我要說的重點是籃内有多一支湯匙(因為有两個人),很貼心,為客人設想。我吃到是很暖很满足的著名龍蝦湯。


我記得有一次在台灣花蓮的夜市,有一檔口的啦叭,傳出粗口氣的女聲,對着排長隊的人說要等一小時半。。 惡劣聲污染!我想就算再著名的食物,也不會有任何素質!


我也記得有一次在 Peru,Aguas Calientes 的 Indio Feliz 餐館晚餐,看了菜單,覺得套餐很不錯,跟招待員說我們两人要共享一套晚餐。來的餐給我們各自一蝶,我們以為他弄錯,跟他說我們只訂一套,他很親切的說是一套,分成,方便我們食用。食物的味道我已忘得乾乾淨淨,可是温馨的氣質永留在心。

I understand how you feel. Most of us like to see pretty smiles and being treated with kindness. In recent years, my attitude towards unhappy people has changed. I feel sorry for them, I ask myself why they are not happy. I can guarantee you that unhappy people are nice people too. Yet sometimes it is hard for them to smile when they are under stress. That's why I like Buddhism, as Buddha teaches us to demolish 分別心 and 無我. When we can do that, our minds are always calm with no ripples. I am happy for you and Steve having opportunities to visit many countries.

好的態度是招攬生意基本原則。花錢期待一個笑容好像也不是太大的要求。但是,二者之間確沒有必然性與相關性。
他仍然可維持他的態度,妳仍然可以享有妳的美食,不是嗎?

當讀他人寫的事情, 看重點
對,我承認我還有分別.. 讀我寫的事情, 看重點.. 不然, 以後我可能會害怕分享.. :P

Most of us still have 分別心; I am one of them too. I hope I did not hurt your feeling, as I always enjoy reading your posts. Humans are very complex creatures, especially their minds. I have opportunities encountering many people every day as I have many students. This sparks my interest understanding human's mind and behaviors. :)

No. 我知道我有很多弱點, 但我希望別人看重點.
