What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.
George Eastman
The Newsroom s03e06 What kind of day has it been
It was the Kwench story and the models at the party.
Leona convinced him to give a woman a high-level promotion.
Yeah, that's probably right, but who cares? What does it matter how you got the job? You have the job.
You're gonna get to do the job.
That's a really big deal.
It's gonna be harder than it was for Charlie with Reese and Leona.
It's gonna be a fight with Pruit every day and over big things.
I have faith.
Why? There's a hole in the side of the boat.
That hole is never going to be fixed and it's never going away and you can't get a new boat.
This is your boat.
What you have to do is bail water out faster than it's coming in.
Also, I have to not die.
That's crucial.
It's always gonna be something with you, isn't it? Charlie: You know what, kiddo? In the old days of about 10 minutes ago, we did the news well.

The Newsroom s03e04 Contempt
Good afternoon.
I'll tell you, Mr.
Geary, this isn't the best time.
You two are a couple.
We're not, but maybe we can do this later.
No, you are.
I have a signed letter declaring that you are.
It was sitting in my office in a pile of things I hadn't gotten to yet.
- Somebody ratted us out? - Yes.
Nobody around here would drop a dime.
You're blowing smoke.
- Who cheesed? - Okay, Mugsy.
- You did.
- Huh? - You did.
- Which one of us are you talking to? - I think you know.
- What's he talking about? Sloan wrote a letter to HR declaring the two of you a couple.
Yeah, it was after you made $125 on the Chipotle trade I tipped you off to.
We spent the last two weeks trying to conceal from this man that we're dating and the whole time you knew you'd sent him a letter saying we were dating? - Mm-hmm.
- Why? Well, obviously I was hoping he'd never find out.
But you knew he was gonna read the letter eventually.
Eventually is a wonderful time of day.
This was a cross that bridge when we get to it situation for me.
And here we are.
We're at the bridge.
- Wyatt - Is lying to corporate something you do habitually? Don and I like to make decisions about lying on a case-by-case basis.
Maybe you've helped enough.
Please, don't transfer one of us.
We don't work together enough, but the little we do works.
And if you ask Sloan to choose between me and her job, you wouldn't be able to get that sentence out before she said her job, and I really like her and I'm trying to be good enough.
And this here is the best thing that I do.
And can I say one more thing? It's just occurred to me that your company is only going to own my network until the end of the day, so what the hell has this all been about? - Come to think of it - I'm blown away you let me do it this long.
Why did you do it this long? Fun.
I work in HR.
Our days aren't scored by the "Hallelujah Chorus.
" I don't know anything about the story you were all working on, but I know enough to say sorry.
Good luck to the two of you.
I'm a big fan.

這世上很多人只願意用鐘點工的思維
去換取企業家的結果，
所以會糾結，會痛苦。

What's ahead waiting for me ?
凌晨三點降落的班機, 一出機艙迎面而來的是悶熱的空氣, 怎麼會有正常的公司幫初到職的員工買在凌晨降落的班機呢?
再多的疑問也扺擋不了我想要外出工作的決心, 走吧....
領了行李, 出了關, 沒有看到來接我的任何指示, 拉了行李到旁邊坐下, 沒網路, 沒有當地連絡電話, 不知如何是好...
等了十分鐘, 終於看到來接我的司機, 沒想到, 又是兩個半小時的車程....
一上車就昏睡, 下了交流道才愰神的醒來...司機說Welcome to Fontana...
我的key card不知在哪, 司機把我丟到大堂後就走了, 還搞不清楚東西南北, 只有一個值班經理帶我到紅八叫我先點東西吃...
吃完後傻在大堂, 發簡訊給澳門的連絡人, 想當然爾, 凌晨時分是不會有回應的....
在大廳裡坐到8點半, 扺不過疲備一直在打瞌睡...
終於等到會籍人來上班, 把我領到town house, 和室友say hi後我躺上床不醒人事...

本質思考
回到事情的本質思考，是很重要的一件事情。
當生命遭遇困境、或重大選擇時，經驗固然很好，但比經驗更重要的是回到問題的本質，從那個本質的角度來思考、選擇。愛一個人的時候，去思索愛的本質是什麼？當我們對自己從事的工作感到困擾時，思考這個工作的本質是什麼？對自己的決定不安心時，思索這個決定的本質是什麼……只有回到這個本質的思考，我們在取捨之間，才有更重要的標準。有了這樣的標準，我們在面對自己的決定時，才能有真正的安定和開闊。
