第31章 心如花园 (11)

10. 如果你想要一把弹弓,我希望你父亲能教你怎样自己做一把,而不是为你买一把现成的。我还希望你能学会挖泥巴和读书。而当你学会使用电脑时,你也应该学会加减法的心算。

11. 当你第一次恋上一个女孩时,我希望你会受到朋友们的嘲弄;而当你跟你母亲顶嘴时,希望她叫你尝一尝象牙肥皂的滋味。

12. 但愿你能在爬山时弄破膝盖上的皮,或者在炉子上烧伤手,或者让舌头粘在结冰的旗杆上。

13. 我希望当吸烟者对着你的脸上喷吐烟雾时,你会感到恶心。如果你尝试喝一次啤酒,我不会在意,但我希望你不会喜欢上它。如果有一位朋友请你吸一口含大麻的香烟,或者任何毒品,我希望你明智地意识到他不是你的朋友。

14. 我当然希望你能抽时间来陪你爷爷在门廊上坐一坐,或者陪你叔叔钓钓鱼。

15. 如果你把捧球扔进了邻居的窗户,我希望你母亲惩罚你。如果你能剪掉指甲,用石膏做一只自己手的模型送给你妈,我希望她会给你拥抱和亲吻。

16. 我希望你能经历:艰难的岁月,挫折和失望;希望你努力工作,幸福快乐。

If I Were A Boy Again假如我再回到童年

1. If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “There are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids-the eagle and the snail.”

2. If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. I often hear grown-up people say,"I could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, although I wished to do so," and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

3. If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and, on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.

4. If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, it smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return. Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut from love.

5. If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say “No” oftener. I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.

6. If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.

7. Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would, if I were a boy again, try still harder to make others happy.

1. 假如我再回到童年,我会更多地培养自己的毅力,决不因为事情艰难或麻烦而放弃不干。如果我们需要光明,我们就得征服黑暗。在产生的结果方面,毅力往往可以与天才相妣美。谚语说:“能登上金字塔的生物只有两种——雄鹰与蜗牛。”

2. 假如我再回到童年,我会培养自己专心致志的习惯;一旦手头有事,决不让任何东西使我分心。我会牢记:一位优秀的溜冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成专心致志的习惯,它就会成为我们生命的一个部分。我常常听到成年人说:“尽管我希望集中注意力听讲课或读书,但往往做不到。”其原因就在于年轻时没有养成这种习惯。

3. 假如我能重新活过,我会更加注意培养自己的记忆力。我要采取一切可能的办法,在一切可能的场合,增强记忆力。要精确地记住一切事物,起初的确要做出一番小小的努力;但用不了多久,记忆力本身就会起作用,使记忆成为轻而易举的事。只需及早培养,记忆自会成为一种才能。

4. 假如我再回到童年,我会凡事都看光明的一面。生活就像一面镜子:你朝它微笑,它也会朝你微笑;但如果你朝它皱眉头,它也会朝你皱眉头;如果你用怀疑的目光看待它,它也会以同样怀疑的目光看待你。内心的阳光不仅温暖了自己的心,同时也温暖了所有跟他接触的人的心。“谁将爱拒之门外,谁就会被爱拒之门外。”

5. 假如我再回到童年,我就要养成经常说“不”的习惯。我可以写上好几页,谈谈早期培养这一点的重要性。一个少年要能挺得起腰杆,拒绝做不值得做的事——就因为它不值得做。

6. 假如我再回到童年,我会要求自己对待同伴和朋友更礼貌,而且对陌生人也同样如此。在坎坷的人生道路上,最细小的礼貌犹如在漫长的冬季为我们歌唱的小鸟,使得冰天雪地的严冬变得较易忍受。

7. 最后,假如我再回到童年,我不会竭力为自己谋幸福——仿佛那是人生的唯一目标;与之相反,我会更加努力——让他人幸福。

May You Always Have Positive Thoughts愿你的思想永远充满阳光

1. May every day of your life bring you fresh hopes for tomorrow—-because hopes give us all our reason for trying.

2. May each new day bring a feeling of excitement, joy, and a wonderful sense of expectation. Expect the best, and you’ll get it

3. May you find peace in simple things, because those are the ones that will always be there.

4. May you remember the good times and forget the sorrow and pain, for the good times will remind you of how special your life has been.
