「活在當下」“Living and Enjoy the Moment”

何謂「活在當下」What is “Living and Enjoy the Moment”

很多人，每天不是為了很多瑣碎的事情而憂心，就是為生計而疲於奔命，甚至忙得連與家人共聚的時間也沒有，快樂，對於大部份香港人來說可能都是遙不可及。因為都市人在面對困難或壓力時，總是不自覺地把自己困在「死胡同」裡，忘記了可以停一停，想一想。人生總不會無風無浪，放下那急促的生活節奏去感受生命的微妙，不要只著眼於困難的一面，你便會發現原來快樂就是這麼簡單。活在當下，細味「此時此刻」的分秒，就能發現原來感動只在身邊。

Many people will get worried by very trivial matters such as earning for a living and sometimes they can even get so busy that they have no time to spend with their family. For a lot of Hong Kong people, “happiness” is something that is very far from them. This is because when city people face with pressure and difficulties, they will normally trap themselves in a “Dead End”. They usually forget that they can pause and think. Life can’t be without problems, if one can temporarily slow down the pace and spend some time to enjoy the beauty of life rather than only focus on the difficult moment, one can then discover that happiness can be very simple. If one can live in this moment and enjoy every second of it, one can sure discover that there are many touching things nearby them.

現代人，視金錢為快樂、工作為責任。每天勞碌地工作，使大家沒空閒去留意身邊的事物。因此，我們應該抱著珍惜與欣賞的心態去看待每天跟我們擦身而過的人和事。

Modern people usually treat money as the source of happiness and work as their responsibility. They work busily every day and so have left no room for them to notice the things around them. As such, we should maintain a mentality to treasure and appreciate the people and things that pass by us every day.

這次，我以旅遊為題材，希望能夠表達的是，人生苦短， 我們不知道自己何時會走到生命的盡頭。正正是因為這樣，我們更應該好好把握得來不易的機會，及時行樂。不論生活是多麼忙碌和急促，我們都應該完成自己理想的事情。 只有享受此時此刻，才能真正感受到生命的喜樂。

This time, I use a trip as a topic which I hope to express the idea that life is short as we don’t know when we’ll reach the end of it. It is also because of this, we should treasure and grasp every opportunity that we can to enjoy life. No matter how busy or rush our life is, we should do the things that we think is important and meaningful to us. It is only that we can enjoy this moment then we can truly feel the happiness of life. 

比喻說，一件不朽的藝術品，不一定要有五花八門的技術，而每一張看似平平無奇的照片，背後卻記錄著攝影師的内心世界和他想表達的情感或故事。一張平平無奇的相片，卻有了不平凡的故事，我想這才是真正有深度的藝術。人生有如藝術一樣，我們又能否看到身邊的一切事物美好的事物呢？

For example, a monumental piece of art does not necessary need very complicated skills, as well as a photo which looks nothing special but actually has recorded the photographer’s interior world of thoughts as well as the feeling and story that he/she wants to express. A simple photo but with a not simple story, I think this can then truly be considered as a piece of artwork with depth. Life is similar to arts, can we always notice all things happening around us and in particular​y the good things?
