A quiet young gentleman came to interview for a editor job.
After reviewing his resume as compared to his actual work.......quite a hugh difference.
That may be a turn off for many people.....cos...it's almost like lying right.......
I sit down with him and talked some more.....
telling 'ah FUNG'...'U work is really not that great...' as simple and direct n honest as possible,
but not to be impolite cos U know somehow those with given power can somehow
intentionally or unintentinally humiliate someone...like FUNG....but I consi=ciously avoid that.
Rather...I talked to find out what he reallly wanted to do...
He ONLY wanted to do editing.....not too many words....just saying 'hmm, yes..' those simple
muttering, right away...I regonised another ADD kid. Just like my twin sister's son SEan.
Without descriminating....I asked if he liked to try volunteering and working for some producers
'hmmm...yes' same words. justlike that....no less no more.
Everyday he came to work at 1020am...walking.....and I saw him with his backpack...
right hand holding half loaf of hweat bread n 1 banana......
day after day......
for 2 weeks....it didnt take a gennius to figure out he's kind of supporting himself...
dont want to use the word'''POOR' but he is..........
I drove him back to his house 1 night,,,,
I aksed him....U lived alone???where r your parents???
i';n HK.' he replied,
'U liked it here?' i asked.........
'hmmm...yes'
' so your parents can only afford your minimum is that right,?'....'hmmm..Yes'
I got it...the whole picture...
he walks to work for 3 weeks now...25 minutes long walk in around 0-4C
half loaf of wheat bread and a banana....the same everyday....
I'd asked him into my room.....
'U do believe in people should help people'....I asked?
hmmmmm...Yes.
'Heres' $200 Cdn , pls accept....my God my heart would want me to do such a sharing'
To me, I m just happend in a posiiton I could give...onday when I m broke....
U then could give me back...
'Hmmm.....Yes' this time...with a smile....
he talks more now.
I m still trying to convince my boss.....he's a good editor.
But it's a tough sell...cos he didnt talk much.
All producers love him, and start treating him lunches....knwoing he's dong this job for free.
And in return at times...he quietly bought them HK bun breads....like Tuna/Pineapple bun etc.
No one should be judged simply bcos he's not socialable.
Would U like to be judged in anyway???
'ah FUNG' is a wierd guy..so am I ,
I m afraid to write so R U.........but i did.
a journey of feeling content. Everyday i pray this little prayer sometimes with my eyes closed sometimes not..... let me be real let me be honest let m
