我倒真懷念報導文章是用書面語來書寫， 換了口語總有一種不專業、不真實的感覺。 以前，報章都是以客觀、中立的態度來報導。 文章質素高，是學生時期的學習題材之一。 可是現在的卻加插了很多政治因素或是個人見解， 反令人質疑。 除了內容外，文章標題又是一個奇皅。 減字減到失去重點， 加入黃色字眼來博取點擊，明明內容卻與此無關。 報紙，到現代的網絡新聞， 除了反映寫文章的人的素質外， 也正好反映了讀者的素質。 那可見人們的水平， 皆因寫的人都以取悅讀者的態度來寫的。 曾經有人說過， 蘋果産品是一個風潮， 不論如何它本着個人風格， 但以最適合大眾的設計， 吸納了一群死忠的追隨者。 卻不是現在的， 被人牽着鼻子走。 以前它推出一產品， 該產品必被大眾潮流， 而不是潮流興甚麼，就設計甚麼。 同樣道理， 新聞報導不是要給人們想聽的東西， 而是適合人們的東西， 如能昇華到能提升人們素質， 那該是成功的報導。

But, are we really doing it? We, ordinary people, will follow everyone footstep and do whatever the reality wants. No one follow their heart, everyone blames and hates but none of us are willing to chase it. I was struggling, or I am still struggling wether I should continue to study or start working after this year. There are so many concerns and uncertainty. Even until now, I cannot give an answer to myself. My friend, who recommended me to read this book, tried to encounter my negative thinking and concerns. He said "just follow your heart." Simpl...
