第20部分(第1页)

你或许会问,那位母亲为什么要那样做,是孩子淘气,还是孩子的右手被感染了?两者都不是,而仅仅是为了两个字——乞讨!绝望的母亲故意将孩子弄成残疾,这样孩子就可以上街乞讨。

我的朋友震惊了,他把吃了一半的面包掉在了地上。很快,五六个孩子一窝蜂地朝这片沾满沙粒的面包冲过来,争抢着——这是饥饿的自然反应。

朋友开始告诉自己,他是多么幸福。能有完整的身体、有工作、有家庭、有机会抱怨食物的好坏、有机会穿衣、可以拥有许多那些人欠缺的东西。

现在我也开始思索和感受,我的生活真得很糟吗?或许不是,我不应该觉得太糟。你觉得呢?或许下次你这样觉得时,就想想那位失去一只手的孩子,仅仅是因为能上街乞讨。“不要满足于你想得到的东西,而要满足于你已经拥有的东西。”

■ 心灵小语

生活中有太多的无奈与不协调,这一切都源于不知足。珍惜,才是我们所要做的,不要再无视身边的一切,或许你还未发现它的重要,一旦失去,就会追悔莫及!

Is My Life Really Bad

Anonymous

Have you ever,at any one time,had the feeling that life is bad,real bad,and you wish you were in another situation?You find life make things difficult for you,work sucks,life sucks,everything seems to go wrong。

Read the following story,and it may change your views about life:

After a conversation with one of my friends,he told me despite taking 2 jobs,he brings back barely above 1,000 dollars per month,he is happy as he is.

He explained that it was through one incident that he saw in India。。。 That happened a few years ago when he was really feeling low and touring India after a major setback.

He said that right in front of his very eyes,he saw an Indian mother chop off her child’s right hand with a chopper.The helplessness in the mother’s eyes,the scream of pain from the innocent 4…year…old child haunted him until today.

You may ask why did the mother do so;had the child been naughty, had the child’s hand been infected? No,it was done for two simple words—TO BEG! The desperate mother deliberately caused the child to be handicapped so that the child could go out to the streets to beg.

Taken aback by the scene,he dropped a piece of bread he was eating half way.And almost instantly,a flock of 5 or 6 children swamped towards this small piece of bread which was covered with sand,robbing bits from one another—the natural reaction of hunger.

He began to tell himself how fortunate he is.How fortunate he is to be able to have a plete body,have a job,have a family,have the chance to plain what food is nice and what isn’t nice, have the chance to be clothed,have the many things that these people in front of him are deprived of.

Now I begin to think and feel it,too! Was my life really that bad? Perhaps no,I should not feel bad at all.What about you? Maybe the next time you think you are,think about the child who lost one hand to beg on the streets。“Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want,it is the realization of how much you already have.”

用快乐装点生活(1)

奥里森?马登

要满足幸福生活,就必须具备十个条件。第一是要有良好的消化能力,其他九个无一例外都是——金钱。最起码当代的哲学家都是这样说的。不过,《温柔的生活》的作者却有着更为现实的看法,他说这种神圣产物中蕴涵着不计其数的多余欢乐,如果一个人对生活毫无所求的话,这些欢乐是根本没有必要的。

他自己便是一个享受快乐的人,他知道如何寻觅快乐——不是来源于理想状态的幻想,而是来源于身边的实际生活。一个人若是领悟了这个秘密,就不会期待不切实际的幻境,不会等待下一年、下一个十年的到来,不会等到自己成为富人,不会等到自己能够去国外旅行,也不会默默地等待自己拥有一切,而是尽情地享受今天的生活,掌控自己。

每个角落都是天堂,但你的心中一定要带着欢乐,否则你将永远错过它。

人们应该在工作时间之后放松精神,而不是在工作时间之内。人们应该以菲利普?阿穆尔为榜样,在完成工作时,就丢开钥匙,并马上打开一扇有益于健康的娱乐大门。莱曼?比彻博士经常利用一把小提琴来调节自己的心情。他有一套不变的、并被他称为“解缚”的系统,以此来消除自己的紧张感。

约翰逊博士建议:“一个人应当多花一些时间来欢笑。”

同普通人一样,幽默是林肯的快乐秘诀。他常挂在嘴边的一句话便是:“如果不是因为这样,我可能早就活不下去了。”正是他的笑话和新奇故事,为处于低潮时期的国家带来一片光明。

“除了美德,”艾格尼丝?斯特里克兰说,“欢笑也是这个世界上我们能够分享的最少的东西之一。”

“我整天都很快乐,”编辑查尔斯?达纳问一个未老先衰的朋友,“你平时看小说、打台球、散步吗?”

格莱斯顿很早就养成了乐观看待事物的习惯,他从未因担心公务而失眠过。
