Art Talking

                                                                            
    網路上，流傳著一段話。
                                                                               
    如果將字母 A 到 Z 分別編上 1 到 26 的分數，(A=1,B=2...,Z=26)
                                                                               
    你的知識 (Knowledge) 只能得到 96 分 (11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96)
    你的努力 (Hardwork) 也只得到 98 分 (8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98)
    你的態度 (Attitude) 才是左右你生命的全部 (1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100)
                                                                               
    看似簡單理解的話，實則不易體會。
                                                                               
                                                                               
    Freshman in society

                                                                               
    頂著高學歷的光環，懷抱著理想踏入工作圈，可能是真的喜歡這個工作，可能是要當個跳板，至少在初進的公司學到一點什麼。

                                                                               
    然而，大學時期學習的那一套，在米蘭達這裡完全派不上用場，好像所做的雜事根本不需要任何知識。
                                                                               
    總是會有一種"大材小用"的怨念存在。
                                                                               
    加上做的事情得不到主管的稱讚，只有做錯事才會遭到冷眼與責難，眾多的挫敗讓人退縮想放棄。
                                                                               
    我想很多人聽到米蘭達說"That's all."的時候，心裡頭浮現的第一句話應該是"x的，跩個屁阿！"遑論後面苛薄的要求，可能早在所謂公司的試用期中就想要辭退了。
                                                                               
    而小安一定有這樣的想法，她很憤怒與不解，為什麼米蘭達要這樣對她。

                                                                             
    引述一段影片中，十分有震撼力的對話︰
                                                                               
    Andy Sachs: She hates me, Nigel.
                                                                               
    Nigel: And that's my problem because... Oh, wait. No, it's not my problem.
                                                                               
    Andy Sachs: I don't know what else I can do because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged. She doesn't even say thank you. But if I do something wrong, she is vicious.
                                                                               
    Nigel: So quit.
                                                                               
    [......]
                                                                               
    Nigel: I can get another girl to take your job in five minutes...one who really wants it.
                                                                               
    Andy Sachs: No, I don't want to quit. That's not fair. But, I, you know, I'm just saying that I would just like a little credit... for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.
                                                                               
    Nigel: Andy, be serious. You are not trying. You are whining. [......] Wake up, six. She's just doing her job. [......] And what's worse, you don't care. Because this place, where so many people would die to work you only deign to work.

And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day. Wake up, sweetheart.
                                                                                
    做不來就辭職，自然有人會想要來應徵。這裡可是人人大家擠破頭想要進來的地方，可不是什麼學校環境，做得好有人來摸摸頭，給個好寶寶印章。別傻了。
                                                                               
    機會是給準備好的人，一直抱怨，那為何當初要來？
                                                                               
    不想放棄，那就必須調整自己的心態，否則只是會讓自己越做越痛苦。
                                                                               
                                                                               
    Career v.s. private life

                                                                         
    工作與私人生活看起來是相互牴觸的兩件事，偏重一方，就容易顧此失彼，實在難以抉擇。
                                                                               
    在追求夢想時，往往需要孤注一擲的勇氣，要讓自己認為沒有後路；太多的後顧之憂就會變成阻礙的一部份。
                                                                               
    是否最親愛的人能夠作為強力的後盾，支持著自己；還是他們也像自己一樣，需要一點安慰與鼓勵？
                                                                               
    Nate: You used to make fun of the Runway girls, now you're one of them!
                                                                               
    Nate說的這段話，聽起來就像是全盤打翻了小安所有的努力。為了這個工作，小安必須從內到外地改變自己，才能適應這個環境。而Nate這一席話，暗示著小安早就失去了自我，已經不是原來的自己。
                                                                               
    這到底是好是壞？
                                                                               
    似乎很難取捨。這不表示某一邊是壞的，而是如此地偏重之下，不是失去工作就是失去家庭。
                                                                               
    只是這種所謂的平衡點是需要時間來體會的：過分追求自己的夢想忽略了家庭，難免造成缺憾﹙如同《命運好好玩》﹚，但如果只在乎自己的私人生活，難免遇到失業的窘境。
                                                                               
＊＊

                                      
    我只能說，《穿著Prada的惡魔》用「社會的黑暗面」，「解決」了這種兩難的問題，使得小安提早退出此職場。試想，如果米蘭達繼續重用小安，小安可能就會變成第二個米蘭達，在事業上成為女強人，而在家庭上卻又處理地不得要領。
                                                                               
    這似乎也暗示著，小安雖然在某個部份改變了自己，但在某方面的道德上，她仍忠於自己，所以才會跟米蘭達說出"我不會跟你一樣的話。"
                                                                               
    態度決定了選擇，選擇表現了自我。我想這不只是在職場，甚至在人生路途，是一項非常重要的學習課題。
                                                                               
    總結來說，這是一部非常適合社會新鮮人看的電影。
