Life isn't always fair.
Life isn't always fair. This is something worth thinking about that Fiorina, former Hewlett-Packard CEO, tells me recently in her book Tough Choices.
It reminds me of our national tragedy on 2008/5/12, 14:28. In face of the sudden and senseless taking of lives, disastrous loss, pain, people even do not have a choice, leaving them only endless helplessness and hopelessness. From the moment, time still flies, but that clock stopped.
Now, it's almost two months after National Mouring Day. May the ones we lost rest peacefully, the injured recover swiftly and all of us keep helping those in need. When carried out continuously, every little act of caring is heroic.
Life isn't fair, for those pass away. But for us alive, where there is a life, there is a hope to be fair. Even though there is no fairness, there is efficiency—working hard and smart—as an alternative. If fairness can lead all of us to a good quality of life, efficiency can also lead each of us to the same life.
Life isn't always fair, but always hopeful. Something different between God and us is that God takes charge of fairness while you and I take charge of efficiency.
近日，读到惠普公司前首席执行官菲奥莉娜在她的《勇敢抉择》一书中写到的一句值得深思的话：人生并不总是公平的。
这让我想起5.12大地震。在突如其来的灾难与痛苦面前，生命被无情地夺取，人们甚至连一个选择的机会都没有，能给他们的只有无尽的无助与无望。从那一刻起，时间仍然飞逝，但这个国家的钟永远停留在了2008年5月12日的14：28分。
时至离国难哀悼日将近两个月。愿逝去的同胞安息，伤者尽快恢复，幸免于难的我们继续伸出援助之手。只要行动在持续，任何微小的关心都是英雄事迹。
对逝者而言，人生注定了不公平。但对于生者，只要生命不息，则寻求公平的希望永存。即使没了公平，还有效率（辛勤而聪慧地工作）可供选择。如果公平能引领我们所有人过上优质生活，那么，效率同样也能使我们每个人过上优质生活。
人生并不总是公平，但活着就有希望。上帝与我们之间的某些不同在于：上帝掌控着公平，而你我掌控着效率。
