难以置信的梦想

「You want to resign?」老板的第一个问题，跟三年前一模一样；他看过我的信，把我叫去面谈，辞职可不是小事。

「Yes.」我一点都不紧张；记得三年前，我可是从一开始发抖到最后，紧张得要命。

「Got a better job?」老板的第二个问题，还是跟三年前一模一样。

「No.」一如既往的淡定。

「So what's the reason?」老板被我的回答吓了一跳，因为还没有找到新工作就辞职，自古就鲜少人敢做。

「Because I want to be a free writer.」我说我想做个自由写作人。

「What?!」老板完全听不懂我刚刚那句是哪一国的语言。

「A free writer, which is one who writes books, articles and so forth.」我尽量用很平静的方式解释这个令老板难以置信的梦想。

「Wow...」老板似乎一时没法相信，好一会儿才说：「Erm... I would suggest you to work until December, because it's almost the end of the year now. But it's up to you lah, this's just my suggestion.」

「But I planned to publish my first book in September, so I'm afraid there's too much things to do in these months.」我明白老板指的是年尾花红，可是，人生本来就是要舍得，有舍才有得。

「Erm... Actually you can use your leaves for this. It's almost the end of the year now; it's good for you to work until December. But it's up to you lah.」老板不明白出一本书是多少岁月的工程。

「Actually I did consider before; it really took me very long and careful consideration to make this decision. I've started writing this book since one and a half years ago, and now it came to the final stage, and I'll need a lot of time to settle this, especially when coordinating with the publishers.」我的答案已经无懈可击。

「You have decided?」老板显然有点无奈。

「Yes.」

「Okay, no problem. I'll submit to the top management. All the best!」
