早上一起来就给爸爸妈妈打电话。他们旅行刚回来。妈妈每周和我在网上谈话的时候都要问安妮的事。我每次都说,“你别管了,有消息自然会告诉你们。”我能说什么呢?何必让他们徒增烦忧。表哥们也是这个意思。我很早以前就意识到,当发现不再能把自己点点滴滴的烦恼与不快都向父母诉说的那一天就是自己长大的一天。父母年纪都大了,是我们护着宠着他们的时候了。
昨天晚上在读一本书,里面的一个案子引起了我的注意。开始给两个报纸打电话,要找以前跟踪采访这个案子的两个记者。第一个报社好像是很敬业的样子,周六的晚上11点还有正经八摆的编辑在。不过我要找的那个记者多年以前在那里工作过,现在已不知去向了,但他答应替我打听。第二个报社除了管发行的人在,没有别人在。你想一个靠新闻吃饭,又是发行日报的人,难道不知道事情不会因为是周末就不发生了?怎么会连一个人都没有。也许新闻专业的人士能解答这个问题吧。
居然找到了写书的人的联系信息!!!还有他的名言:
The Winner's Attitude
The winner is always part of the answer; the loser is always part of the problem.
- The winner always has a program; the loser always has an excuse.
- The winner says, "Let me do it for you;" the loser says, "That's not my job."
- The winner sees an answer for every problem; the loser sees a problem for every answer.
- The winner sees a green near every sand trap; the loser sees two or three sand traps near every green.
- The winner says, "It may be difficult, but it is possible;" the loser says, "It may be possible, but it's too difficult."
By his definition, I have always been a loser in my life, although a happy one, I may add. But this time, I really, really want to be a winner.
