![]() 真正的高貴 文:海明威(美) 風(fēng)平浪靜的大海, 每個人都是領(lǐng)航員。 但是, 只有陽光而無陰影, 只有歡樂而無痛苦, 那就不是人生。 以最幸福的人的生活為例—— 它是一團糾纏在一起的麻線。 喪母之痛和幸福祝愿彼此相接, 是我們一會傷心,一會高興, 甚至死亡本身也會使生命更加可親。 在人生的清醒的時刻, 在哀痛和傷心的陰影之下, 人們離真實的自我最接近。 在人生或者職業(yè)的各種事務(wù)中, 性格的作用比智力大得多, 頭腦的作用不如心情, 天資不如由判斷力所節(jié)制著的 自制、耐心和規(guī)律。 我始終相信, 開始在內(nèi)心生活得更嚴(yán)肅的人, 也會在外表上開始生活得更樸素。 在一個奢華浪費的年代, 我希望能向世界表明, 人類真正需要的東西 是非常之微少的。 悔恨自己的錯誤, 而且力求不再重蹈覆轍, 這才是真正的悔悟。 優(yōu)于別人,并不高貴, 真正的高貴應(yīng)該是優(yōu)于過去的自己。 英文原文 True Nobility In a calm sea every man is a pilot. But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. Take the lot of the happiest--it is a tangled yarn. Bereavements and blessings, on make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss. n the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment. I have always believe that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are. To regret on nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. 背景音樂;輕音樂Chariots Of Fire – Vangelis 范吉利斯 |
