“比赛不管输赢，只在乎过程。”你听过多少人那么说呢？今天一个人就这样跟我说，于是我的理智就和这句话起了争执。我不反对这个说法，但是输赢对我来说极为重要。参加比赛最终的目的就是得到冠军，或者一个名利。不是我虚荣但是名利真的比很多东西更值钱。假如你是一位作家，写的小说都很乏味，那么你到底是要拿什么当饭吃呢？曾经读过一个引语，它是说如果世界上没有输家，那么怎么判断谁是赢家。 输赢能够衡量一个人的能力，就好比每个同学都在竞争在课程上修满学分，为的只是比别人厉害，仅此而已。 新加坡真的到了一个没有竞争就不行的地步，每天都得跑，更快地跑，还是跑。一但脚步放慢速度，后头的人就会引头赶上。而身为新加坡人拥有的“怕输”精神，被取代是个不法容忍的行为。

面包还是爱情。最近海地地震事件勾起了我难得一见的同情心。很多灾难发生，但是活在里面和在旁观看的感觉一定绝然不同。但是那些海地人的无声求救真的叫人心酸，同时也让世界各地的人对这个国家有了更多的了解。在这件灾难发生事前，根本连海地这两个字都没有听说过。现在他们最需要的就是面包，更需要爱。失去家人，爱人肯定不是件容易的事。就算是普通人失恋500次也比不上他们的痛苦。请伸出援手，帮助他们吧！

On the Ground in Port-au-Prince
The acrid smell of death is not the first thing that hits you landing in Port-au-Prince. It is the screams and wails of mourning that are overwhelming. The cries of mothers, fathers, neighbors and friends who have lost so much and so many in the last week. The Haitian people whom I have come to know over the last year are a strong, compassionate, resilient bunch who mourn with the same passion they live by.

Paul Haggis and I landed this morning with a team from the JP Haiti Relief Organization, a private foundation created by Sean Penn and Diana Jenkins to help in the rescue efforts. They have gathered 10 doctors, nurses and surgeons, a water specialist, logistics people and two cargo planes filled with medical supplies, food, tools, thousands of water filters and generators to help existing institutions and set up a clinic that will service those in need. They are generously supplying our group, Artists for Peace and Justice, with medicine we desperately need to get into the hands of our friends at St. Damien's Hospital in Port-au-Prince. For the last 48 hours, operations have been performed without anesthesia, children are dying from dehydration and simple wounds have become so infected that many require amputation.

We have been called here by our dear friend, Father Rick Frechette. A doctor and priest in Haiti for the last 22 years, Rick defines the power of one man's call to action. He and his Haitian colleagues have built and run the only free pediatric hospital in Haiti, the only hospital for disabled children, two orphanages, 20 street schools, free medical clinics in the poorest slums of the city, Cite de Soleil and most recently, New York City, a job training center that includes a bakery and shoe factory. He supplies the only free drinking water to the people of Cite de Soleil and feeds thousands of people a day in and around Port-au-Prince.

Rick was in Connecticut ministering to his dying mother when the earthquake hit last week. He immediately rushed back to his home and to his Haitian family, colleagues, staff and friends to help. When I spoke to him the morning after and asked what he needed from us he said, "If you are moved to do so, put on some work gloves, grab a shovel and help me dig my people out". Unfortunately, we are probably too late to dig out the 50 or so staff and small children that are buried in the rubble. We are not too late, however, to get him his supplies that will save other lives.

The Port-au-Prince I hear and see today is nothing like the vibrant city I visited last year. A group of us from L.A., led by Paul Haggis, created an organization called Artists for Peace and Justice to fund Rick's projects in Haiti and went down to work with him. For days we rode around the streets of Cite de Soleil in open air trucks, greeted by joyous children and smiling adults. I was struck not only by the overwhelming poverty of a country only one hour from our shores but more by the Haitian people themselves who, living in the midst of it all, found a way to celebrate life each day. There is no celebrating today, only the sounds of endless grief.

We are leaving the airport now to try to get to St. Damien's. Sean and Diana are sending their whole team of doctors with us and half of their supplies. Will update as we go along. For now, God Bless the people of Haiti.
