世說新語話Apples

The Three Stories of Apple by Jobs喬貝斯三個蘋果的故事(*1)


逍遙博蕉林益友(簡稱「蕉益友」)剛剛用香蕉為話題互相「蕉呼」,各自表述,「蕉思懵想」一番,大家都「蕉氣勃勃」,Going Bananas啦!

Sau Wong 瘦黃更說: 『咁Happy Hung引述的醫生忠告: 「An apple a day keeps the doctors away. 」 不是要改寫為 「A banana a day keeps the doctor, psychiatrists, dietician and beautician away. 」』

蘋果界功能組別馬上嘩然,蘋果界的江湖地位,怎可被「蕉益友」毀於一旦!!馬上找Happy Hung算帳,Happy Hung 企硬立場說:「在健康範疇,香蕉確勝你們蘋果一籌,瘦黃的新香蕉宣言是真理的表述,是受言論自由法保護的。你們若不服氣,該找創造你們的大佬去討回公道,看看衪能否啟發你們另闢蹊徑,重新奠定蘋果的歷史地位吧!」

言猶在耳,蘋果幫一代教主Steve Jobs喬貝斯與胰臟癌搏鬥經年,終於撒手塵寰,留下他改變人類生活的電腦科技產品,安息主懷!

來到創造的神、科學之父、歷史的主跟前,衪慈祥的張開雙手,迎小喬入懷,輕拍他的肩膀說:「辛苦你了,良善忠心的僕人,你運用我給你的科學頭腦及開荒創業的恩賜,建立了另類蘋果王國。你回來得正是合時,讓我可回應蘋果界的禱求,還給它們被香蕉取代了的健康regime的江湖地位。它們有所不知,其實我已經運用你的死訊,給予了蘋果界不可動搖的歷史地位!在它們找Happy Hung理論之時,三個蘋果的卡通畫像,正在互聯網上瘋傳起來了!」喬貝斯急忙打開隨身的iPhone 5一看,果然就看到了以下視像及其註腳﹕

“Three Apples changed the world: The first seduced Eve The second fell on Newton And the third one was offered to the world half bitten by him. RIP Steve Jobs

喬貝斯用恍然大悟的眼神看著他的天上的父說:「那是你給我靈感,在2005年6月12曰史丹福大學畢業禮上所演講的,《我生命的三個故事》嗎?(*2)(“Three stories of my life” presented by Steve Jobs at the 'Stanford University's 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005.) 天父點頭說:「這是你留下給世人永垂不朽的禮物,iPot、iPhone、 iPad 都會過去,唯有我放在你心中的人生体會,會成為改變很多人生命的歷史睿言。來!安息吧!」

天父不經意地把喬貝斯手上的 iPhone5接過來,順手把這會朽壞的還未面世的Apple產品扔回凡間。究竟這另類蘋果會打在誰人的頭上,又如何進一步改變這個世代,便真是天曉得了。

哈!哈!眾「蕉益友」,這iPhone5原來打在我們之中的一個人的頭上。這是我昨夜「南澳一夢」醒來的殘存印象!歷史的主又掀開了新的一頁:

In history page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair

然後那被遺棄了的澳洲國歌第三段歌辭,在那遺落人間的iPhone5中奏鳴起來:……

With Christ our head and cornerstone,
We'll build our Nation's might.
Whose way and truth and light alone
Can guide our path aright.
Our lives, a sacrifice of love
Reflect our Master's care.
With faces turned to heaven above
Advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair!

You've got to find what you love, says Jobs(Stanford Report, June 14, 2005) 1. The first story is about connecting the dots. 2. My second story is about love and loss. 3. My third story is about death.
