上個星期五華文學會的全國大專生活營籌委邀請我去分享辦活動心得。差不多每一年我都會被邀請，因此我能察覺每一年新生的差別。感覺上新生就是一年比一年’blur’。

我：“華文學會成立的宗旨是什麽？”
同學們：“…………”
我：“有誰可以說出其中一個宗旨？”
同學們：“……”
我：“那麽，你們知道主辦‘全國大專生活營’的目的是什麽嗎？”
其中一位同學説：“哦！我知道！昨天有兩位學長才告訴我們！”

前年有五個人能回答我，去年只剩下三個，今年沒有半個！
-.-!!!

星期一，老師仍然以冷漠和慢條斯理的語氣説道：“Everything we do must have a purpose. Before we design a filter, for example a Butterworth filter, we must know the reasons why we wanna choose this kind of filter. Take a real life example, there are getting more and more top scorers in SPM every year. But, I don’t really know why these students want to take so many subjects.”

“If I want to get into a good university, 10 or 11 A’s is enough to secure a place. If I want to be engineer, just score high in Mathematics and Physics. Whereas to be a doctor, the biology subject has to be good. Why are these students taking every subjects from every discipline?”

“Having more and more students scoring 17 or 18 A’s in recent years shows that many people are living or doing thing without sensible purpose.”

老師指一指講義第二條又繼續說：

“The nature of signals we are going to deal with determines what type of system we should design. If the signal has steeper roll-off and more passband ripple, Chebyshev filter will be a better choice. In real life, if you wanna make a lot of money, you can just straight away go start a business. Many millionaires in the world are not even university graduates. Working as engineers or doctors can’t make you wealthy.”

接著，我發現老師開始離題了。老師停了一停又開始說回人生。

“The third point is Criterion of goodness.”

“For example, if you want to live a balanced life, or you want to optimize your life by going for your favorite outdoor camping activities, scoring just 9 A’s is still not a problem. Because you can have your own time developing your own interest and live a healthy life. There is a give and take, but that’s still also not a bad trade-off.”

不知怎麽，這位老師突然那麽有感而發，說了那麽多人生哲理，而且還能把工程係内容用在人生裏頭。

呵呵。老師在講話時我真的是很想發笑，因爲我在看到報紙的報道後便想到了更好笑的比喻方式。

這些18科A1的學生就好像有了一泡尿，走進廁所時卻不知道該選擇哪一個厠格，結果他的做法就是先進入第一個厠格撒了三秒鐘然後又憋起來，跑到第二個厠格再撒了三秒鐘，然後再把尿道收緊，走進第三個厠格再繼續撒尿，以此類推。他一共用完廁所内的18個厠格，然後走出來炫耀他有多 強 笨。

12、13科A1就已經足夠申請知名大學，幹嘛要18科？
他真的對這18個科目都感興趣？別開我玩笑！
我看，如果他不是愛慕虛榮，就是不知道人生宗旨目標的大笨蛋。
