有的有政治潛質的年輕人，當了一兩屆區議員，或者在政黨裏工作了十年八載，便感到留在政界難有出頭之日，被迫另謀出路去了。即使立法會所有議席以及行政長官都由普選產生，這問題仍沒有解決﹕ 培養政治人才，不能單靠選舉﹔ 必須從制度上提供條件，讓有志者可以建立和發展從政的事業。
這從政的事業，除了議會裏的席位和政府裏的職位之外，還應該有其他「配套」的機構提供與政治有關的工作機會，例如政黨、議員辦事處、智庫組織、政治公關顧問公司等，形成所謂「旋轉門」的架構，讓從政者可在自己事業發展的不同階段，進出於社會、議會和政府之間，而不會永遠被困於某一個角落。

教授難為?
大陸早前有句非常流行的溜口順:「博士隨街走, 碩士多如狗」. 現今讀研究院的學生的確是愈來愈多. 這是好事, 民智開而利民生, 對社會各方面都有好處. 但我同時亦發覺社會對這行業並不十分了解明白.
博士生做啥? 和碩士生有何不同?
一樣是研究開發, 發表論文. 舉例說有個年輕人上山學功夫, 熟知本門武功者可獲碩士, 不但嫻熟本門技藝而又能推陳出新, 有己的一套者則可獲博士學位. 將自己的一套發揚光大, 開創宗派者則可獲聘任為教授.

獨立思考的重要
在這個資訊發達的年代, 任何一個人的知識都比不上一個 search engine。君不見 Facebook 上大量虚假誤導的資訊? 我們更需要的是思考方法的訓練和一顆勇於追求真理的心。大學生最忌人云亦云，隨波逐流。學會獨立思考，活出屬於自己的人生。共勉之。
關於我
我是一個工程系的教授, 在北美一間中小形大學教書. 石本青是我的筆名.
生于香港, 對香港的人和事都充滿着興趣同感情. 開這個 blog 是希望和地球村上的華文居民交流交流, 分享一下自己的想法. 偶有知音固然是極好, 但如欠伯牙子期之輩則亦可發發噜蘇, 心靈健康也.

何謂璞玉為石?
何謂璞玉為石?
把未經琢磨的玉石當普通石頭。比喻見識短淺。幼學瓊林˙卷三˙珍寶類：「楚王以璞玉為石，兩刖卞和之足。」
卞和乃春秋楚人, 於荊山得璞玉獻於楚王, 兩次見疑, 左右足遭刖 (刑罰的一種, 即砍掉犯人的腳), 後楚王乃使玉人琢之, 果得寶玉, 遂命名為「和氏璧」。見韓非子˙和氏。

Einstein's "God Letter"
FB 上讀到一篇文章, 應該是來自耶教徒的手筆. 短短的一篇卻充斥着大量邏輯謬論和可耻的捏造.
The professor of a university challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?" A student answered bravely, "Yes, he did".
The professor then asked, "If God created everything, then he created evil. Since evil exists (as noticed by our own actions), so God is evil. The student couldn't respond to that statement causing the professor to conclude that he had "proved" that "belief in God" was a fairy tale, and therefore worthless.
Another student raised his hand and asked the professor, "May I pose a question? " "Of course" answered the professor.
The young student stood up and asked : "Professor does Cold exists?"
The professor answered, "What kind of question is that? ...Of course the cold exists... haven't you ever been cold?"
The young student answered, "In fact sir, Cold does not exist. According to the laws of Physics, what we consider cold, in fact is the absence of heat. Anything is able to be studied as long as it transmits energy (heat). Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat, but cold does not exist. What we have done is create a term to describe how we feel if we don't have body heat or we are not hot."
"And, does Dark exist?", he continued. The professor answered "Of course". This time the student responded, "Again you're wrong, Sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in fact simply the absence of light. Light can be studied, darkness can not. Darkness cannot be broken down. A simple ray of light tears the darkness and illuminates the surface where the light beam finishes. Dark is a term that we humans have created to describe what happens when there's lack of light."
Finally, the student asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?" The professor replied, "Of course it exists, as I mentioned at the beginning, we see violations, crimes and violence anywhere in the world, and those things are evil."
The student responded, "Sir, Evil does not exist. Just as in the previous cases, Evil is a term which man has created to describe the result of the absence of God's presence in the hearts of man."
After this, the professor bowed down his head, and didn't answer back.
The young man's name was ALBERT EINSTEIN.
「是就說是, 非就說非」, 這是做學術的人應有的操守. 我不是教徒, 但任何一個偉大的宗教, 相信亦有要求信徒不說謊妄語, 及以誠代人之類的教條. 一個有心有腦的教徒, 遇到這等憑空捏造, 胡混堆砌的事, 更應該站出來以正視聽, 避免自己的宗教蒙羞. 此之謂誠, 此之謂正.
Einstein's view on God:
"The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."
- Albert Einstein, in a letter responding to philosopher Eric Gutkind
