將自己磨練成一塊金子
一個(gè)自以為很有才華的人,一直得不到重用,為此,他愁腸百結(jié),異?鄲,有一天,他去質(zhì)問(wèn)上帝:命運(yùn)為什么對(duì)我如此不公?上帝聽(tīng)了沉默不語(yǔ),只是撿起了一顆不起眼的小石子,并把它仍到亂石堆中。上帝說(shuō):"你去找回我剛才仍掉的那個(gè)石子。"結(jié)果,這個(gè)人翻遍了亂石堆,卻無(wú)功而返。這時(shí)候,上帝又取下了自己手上的那枚戒指,然后以同樣的方式仍到了亂石堆中。結(jié)果,這一次,他很快便找到了那枚戒指--那枚金光閃閃的金戒指。上帝雖然沒(méi)有再說(shuō)什么,但是他卻一下子醒悟了:當(dāng)自己還只不過(guò)是一顆石子,而不是一塊金光閃閃的金子時(shí),就永遠(yuǎn)不要抱怨命運(yùn)對(duì)自己不公平。
面對(duì)不佳的際遇,一時(shí)的坎坷,大多數(shù)的人都抱怨命運(yùn)的不公,卻很少有人能正視自己,問(wèn)一問(wèn)是否已經(jīng)將自己磨練成一塊金子,一塊熠熠生輝的足以讓人一目了然的金子。
的確,塵世鎖屑,紅塵紛擾,總難免遭遇凄厲的狂風(fēng),淋漓的冷雨,但是,這并不是苦難,而是恩賜,正是命運(yùn)對(duì)我們生命的打磨或錘煉。因?yàn),生命的初始,就像一塊璞玉,質(zhì)樸而粗糙,沒(méi)有光澤,需要我們細(xì)細(xì)地打磨,耐心地錘煉。
生命是美麗的,而且異常精彩。面對(duì)不幸,面對(duì)潦倒,我們所要做的不是怨天尤人,自暴自棄,而應(yīng)該是不斷捕捉生存智慧,承受苦難直面打擊,最終將自己打磨成一塊閃閃發(fā)光的金子。
Love What You Do, Do What You Love 愛(ài)你所做,做你所愛(ài)
Life is short. Are you doing what you love? Are you living your passion? Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.
If not, why? I am guessing most people will answer that question with "I have a mortgage, a spouse and three kids to support.” In the real world people have responsibilities. They have to make sacrifices. You aren't supposed to be happy with your job but you do it because you have to."
With all due respect, they are wrong. You can take care of your responsibilities and be happy with your job. We spend over 1/3 of our day, at least five days a week performing our jobs. This is a lot of time to be wasting on something we don't enjoy, is it not? Why not spend that time doing something you truly are passionate about for 50 hours a week instead of something that lacks meaning?
I think there is one main reason people don't follow their passion: fear. Fear of how others will react, fear of failure, and fear that they can't do it themselves. I think the first part is for people to realize that they can conquer their fear. You will fail at times and others will think you are crazy at times, but if you believe that you will succeed than you ultimately will.
I understand that it is not easy. I am in the middle of going through it right now. But understand that there are other people out there who have been through what you are going through and can help you immensely. They have failed, been ridiculed, and come out on the other end extremely successful. They are living proof that you can do what you love.
生命短暫。你是否正在做著你所熱愛(ài)的事情?你是否生活在激情中?
如果不是,那是為什么呢?我猜測(cè)大多數(shù)人將會(huì)這樣回答:我有貸款、伴侶和三個(gè)孩子的生活負(fù)擔(dān);钤谶@真實(shí)的世界里,人們是有著責(zé)任,不得不做出犧牲。人們并不是因?yàn)榭鞓?lè)而工作,而是因?yàn)椴坏貌还ぷ鞫ぷ鳌?/p>
對(duì)此人們都帶著應(yīng)有尊敬,可錯(cuò)了。因?yàn)槟憧梢栽诩骖欂?zé)任的同時(shí)愉快地工作。至少每周五天,每天超過(guò)1/3的時(shí)間,被我們拿來(lái)完成我們的工作。看起來(lái)我們把很多時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在我們并不樂(lè)在其中的事情里了,不是嗎?那么為什么不把每周的這50多個(gè)小時(shí)過(guò)得充滿(mǎn)激情,而不是缺乏意義呢?
我想人們不愿追隨激情的一個(gè)主要的原因是:恐懼。害怕其他人的反應(yīng),害怕失敗,害怕自己不能達(dá)成所愿。我認(rèn)為,人們首先需要做的就是克服內(nèi)心的恐懼。有時(shí)候你會(huì)失敗,而人們也會(huì)因此而認(rèn)為你很瘋狂,但如果你堅(jiān)信你將成功,勝利就將屬于你。
我明白做到這樣并不容易。我也正在加入到這項(xiàng)實(shí)賤中來(lái)。可要明白,那些已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷過(guò)你現(xiàn)在正在經(jīng)歷的這個(gè)過(guò)程的人們,可以廣泛地給你力量和支持。他們失敗過(guò),被嘲笑過(guò),最終卻走到了結(jié)果的另一頭,他們完全成功了!他們給你提供了你可以做你所愛(ài)的證據(jù)。
If by Rudyard Kipling 如果 (拉迪亞德.吉普林)
If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serv
e your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.
如果所有人都失去理智,咒罵你,
你仍能保持頭腦清醒;
如果所有人都懷疑你,
你仍能堅(jiān)信自己,讓所有的懷疑動(dòng)搖;
如果你要等待,不要因此厭煩,
為人所騙,不要因此騙人,
為人所恨,不要因此抱恨,
不要太樂(lè)觀,不要自以為是;
如果你是個(gè)追夢(mèng)人——不要被夢(mèng)主宰;
如果你是個(gè)愛(ài)思考的人——不要以思想者自居;
如果你遇到驕傲和挫折,
把兩者當(dāng)騙子看待;
如果你能忍受,你曾講過(guò)的事實(shí)
被惡棍扭曲,用于蒙騙傻子;
看著你用畢生去看護(hù)的東西被破壞,
然后俯身,用破爛的工具把它修補(bǔ);
如果在你贏得無(wú)數(shù)桂冠之后,
然后孤注一擲再搏一次,
失敗過(guò)后,東山再起,
不要抱怨你的失。
如果你能迫使自己,
在別人走后,長(zhǎng)久堅(jiān)守陣地,
在你心中已空蕩蕩無(wú)一物,
只有意志告訴你“堅(jiān)持!”;
如果你與人交談,能保持風(fēng)度,
伴王同行,能保持距離;
如果仇敵和好友都不害你;
如果所有人都指望你,卻無(wú)人全心全意;
如果你花六十秒進(jìn)行短程跑,
填滿(mǎn)那不可饒恕
的一分鐘——
你就可以擁有一個(gè)世界,
這個(gè)世界的一切都是你的!
更重要的是,孩子,你是個(gè)頂天立地的人。
Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You 讓內(nèi)心的燈指引你
Life doesn't always give us the joys we want. We don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way. But don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.
Look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind. You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it.
Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patience and understanding. Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.
Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems, you can always do a little--and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference.
生活并非總是如你所愿。希望有時(shí)會(huì)落空,夢(mèng)想有時(shí)會(huì)破滅,我們不能一切隨心所愿。但別放棄希望,因?yàn)槭挛锊⒎且怀刹蛔?不同時(shí)間,不同場(chǎng)合,你會(huì)呈現(xiàn)不同的面貌。
處處留心你身邊的美麗:自然中的美,他人的美,你自己的美。請(qǐng)相信,美來(lái)自朋友、家庭乃至全人類(lèi)的融融愛(ài)意。一個(gè)微笑,一雙援助之手,一個(gè)關(guān)心的舉止,一句友善的話(huà)語(yǔ),無(wú)不傳達(dá)著愛(ài)。如果你有心去尋找,愛(ài)無(wú)所不在。
奉獻(xiàn)愛(ài)心吧,從中你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)生活的力量,感受生活帶來(lái)的幸?鞓(lè),學(xué)會(huì)忍耐和理解。相信人性本善。記住,愛(ài)心和希望能化解一切憤怒和沮喪。哪怕生活中揮之不去的不快和困難將你重重包圍,讓你力不從心,但你仍可以盡力而為。累積點(diǎn)滴努力,最終你將扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤。
Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You 讓內(nèi)心的'燈指引你
There comes a time when you must stand alone. You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. You must be willing to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities, so that your final goal can be achieved.
Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged. There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.
Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.
Be confident enough that you won’t settle for a compromise just to get by.
Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.Don’t stand in someone else’s shadow when it’s your sunlight that should lead the way.
Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome all obstacles.
Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them.
Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature.
Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know.
Don’t be afraid to show your emotions, laughing and crying make you feel better.
Love your friends and family with your entire being they are the most important part of your life.
Feel the calmness on a quite sunny day,
Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams, always remember life is better than it seems.
當(dāng)你必須獨(dú)自面對(duì)生活時(shí),你一定要有足夠的自信去追尋自己的夢(mèng)想,并要做好準(zhǔn)備為之有所犧牲。
你必須擁有改變自己和決定輕重緩急的能力,這樣,你的最終目標(biāo)才能實(shí)現(xiàn)。
有時(shí),你需要挑戰(zhàn)熟悉和安逸;有時(shí),你需要抓住更多的機(jī)會(huì),創(chuàng)造屬于自己的未來(lái)。
你要足夠堅(jiān)強(qiáng),至少,要試著使自己的生活更美好。
要相信自己不會(huì)輕易妥協(xié)、得過(guò)且過(guò)。
要欣賞自己,給自己成長(zhǎng)、發(fā)展的機(jī)會(huì),并找到自己生活的真正意義。
不要活在別人的陰影里,屬于你的陽(yáng)光會(huì)指引你前進(jìn)的道路。
努力去做自己喜歡做的事,努力克服所有的障礙。
笑對(duì)自己的過(guò)失,從中吸取教訓(xùn),并引以為豪。
摘些花朵,欣賞大自然的美。
向陌生人問(wèn)好,享受熟人的陪伴。
別害怕流露真情,放聲大笑、縱情哭泣,會(huì)讓你感覺(jué)更好。
全心全意地愛(ài)你地家人、朋友,他們是你生活中最重要的部分。
在陽(yáng)光燦爛的日子里,感受安寧。
尋找彩虹,活在夢(mèng)想的世界,永遠(yuǎn)記住,生活比看上去的更美好。

對(duì)一朵花微笑
我一回頭,身后的草全開(kāi)花了。一大片。好像誰(shuí)說(shuō)了一個(gè)笑話(huà),把一灘草惹笑了。
我正躺在山坡上想事情。是否我想的事情--一個(gè)人腦中的奇怪想法讓草覺(jué)得好笑,在微風(fēng)中笑得前仰后合。有的哈哈大笑,有的半掩芳唇,忍俊不禁?拷疑磉叺膬啥洌欢涿娉,張開(kāi)薄薄的粉紅花瓣,似有吟吟笑聲入耳;另一朵則扭頭掩面,仍不能遮住笑顏。我禁不住也笑了起來(lái)。先是微笑,繼而哈哈大笑。
這是我第一次在荒野中,一個(gè)人笑出聲來(lái)。
還有一次,我在麥地南邊的一片綠草中睡了一覺(jué)。我太喜歡這片綠草了,墨綠墨綠,和周?chē)目蔹S野地形成鮮明對(duì)比。
我想大概是一個(gè)月前,澆灌麥地的人沒(méi)看好水,或許他把水放進(jìn)麥田后睡覺(jué)去了。水漫過(guò)田埂,順這條乾溝漫漶而下?菸嗄甑幕牟萁K于等來(lái)一次生機(jī)。那種綠,是積攢了多少年的,一如我目光中的饑渴。我雖不能像一頭牛一樣撲過(guò)去,猛吃一頓,但我可以在綠草中睡一覺(jué)。和我喜愛(ài)的東西一起睡,做一個(gè)夢(mèng),也是滿(mǎn)足。
一個(gè)在枯黃田野上勞忙半世的人,終于等來(lái)草木青青的一年。一小片。草木會(huì)不會(huì)等到我出人頭地的一天?
這些簡(jiǎn)單地長(zhǎng)幾片葉、伸幾條枝、開(kāi)幾瓣小花的草木,從沒(méi)長(zhǎng)高長(zhǎng)大、沒(méi)有茂盛過(guò)的草木,每年每年,從我少有笑容的臉和無(wú)精打采的行走中,看到的是否全是不景氣?
我活得太嚴(yán)肅,呆板的臉?biāo)坪鯇?duì)生存已經(jīng)麻木,忘了對(duì)一朵花微笑,為一片新葉歡欣和激動(dòng)。這不容易開(kāi)一次的花朵,難得長(zhǎng)出的一片葉子,在荒野中,我的微笑可能是對(duì)一個(gè)卑小生命的歡迎和鼓勵(lì)。就像青青芳草讓我看到一生中那些還未到來(lái)的美好前景。
以后我覺(jué)得,我成了荒野中的一個(gè)。真正進(jìn)入一片荒野其實(shí)不容易,荒野曠敞著,這個(gè)巨大的門(mén)讓你努力進(jìn)入時(shí)不經(jīng)意已經(jīng)走出來(lái),成為外面人。它的細(xì)部永遠(yuǎn)對(duì)你緊閉著。
走進(jìn)一株草、一滴水、一粒小蟲(chóng)的路可能更遠(yuǎn)。弄懂一棵草,并不僅限于把草喂到嘴里嚼嚼,嘗嘗味道。挖一個(gè)坑,把自己栽進(jìn)去,澆點(diǎn)水,直愣愣站上半天,感覺(jué)到可能只是腿酸腳麻和腰疼,并不能斷定草木長(zhǎng)在土里也是這般情景。人沒(méi)有草木那樣深的根,無(wú)法知道土深處的事情。人埋在自己的事情里,埋得暗無(wú)天日。人把一件件事情干完,干好,人就漸漸出來(lái)了。
我從草木身上得到的只是一些人的道理,并不是草木的道理。我自以為弄懂了它們,其實(shí)我弄懂了自己。我不懂它們。(文/劉亮程)
感悟:萬(wàn)事萬(wàn)物皆有其存在的道理,我們?cè)趨⑽蜻@些道理的同時(shí),就是在認(rèn)識(shí)我們自己,豐富我們的情感!叭朔遣菽荆肽軣o(wú)情”,但又有幾人能任情的活著?請(qǐng)?jiān)囍鴮?duì)每一朵花微笑,因?yàn)檎撬麊⒌衔覀兊闹腔邸?/p>
