    原来如此

    我发现我在设通讯首选项时把“没有人”看成了“所有人”,造成大家无法浏览我的日志,对此表示歉意。感谢杜琳同学指出了这个问题。

    Simple but eternal

    Our ancestors rode horses from country to country, risking the danger on the way, to send messages in mail. Now a software called Outlook or a cell phone can do the same easier. The world is developing rapidly, we humans too. In fact, those new things were all invented by us.  Having much more knowledge, we do have rights to feel proud. It is understandable that we may think our way of life should be a totally different one. In some aspects, it does. But new problems showed that not all of those “simple” are less useful.

    When our ancestors want to go somewhere, they walked or ran; today people buy vehicles to “take place of walking”. Sitting for too much time results in fat, pain in waist, poor digestive system. Our ancestors rest at nightfall and got up at sunrise, they kept energetic all day long. The “modern” think that staying up at night with a cup of coffee or a piece of cigarette is the fashionable way. For example, to many college students, the time when to sleep corresponds to the blacking out time, even later. As a result, they keep sickly from the first lesson of the day.

    We are advanced today. We have break up many records which the ancestor thought as limits. Does it mean we are not human beings any more? Without food and water, we still die in 48 hours. Without sunlight for years, our skin still turn pale. As long as we cannot deny we are humans, the “simple” way shouldn’t be replaced.

    Think about our “simple” ancestors without prejudice, you will find that they are smart, too. What we had regarded as less advanced methods were just limited by their horizon, knowledge, it was a period that we must go through. And using such original methods, they could make crafts that no one today can go beyond that level. It would be a tough problem for engineers to build another pyramid. Many old sayings such as “The early bird catches the worm” and “every road leads to Rome” play an important role in education. Businessmen and military experts are paying more and more attention to the old masterpiece The Art of War.

    Using the old ways doesn’t mean we are not developing. Actually what we think as “old” ways are not real ways the ancestors used, but they seek. Many of them couldn’t achieve what they want and suffered from cold and starvation for the lack of money or technology.

    Our desires have no ends, one day it will ask beyond our reach. Why not choose the simple ways? It is a Win-Win between the nature and us, besides, brings harmony and happiness. Simple is the way lead us to eternity.

    The war in myself

    As time goes by, I gradually accept the opinion “The most dangerous enemy is yourself.”

    There is an great holy angel, inside my heart. He helps to build up my dream and guides me to realize it. Also he taught me to assist others and beat the bad guys. I have a magnificent palace in my heart, which was built by him. I began to know him since I was born and I loved him very much. I felt I am sainted and was born to be a talented, just, and powerful man. After the English teacher gave me the name, I gave him the same name too: Mike.

    As I grew up, I started to feel a horrible devil inside coming towards me. At first, angel Mike beat him without taking any effort and threw it out of my holy palace. But he didn’t run away. He hid somewhere and patiently waited for the time to break in. One day he appeared again in my garden, he was as powerful as Mike. I didn’t know weather Mike is weakened or the devil is stronger, maybe both. At last angel couldn’t resist devil’s attack any more and took me to escape. My garden was in the devil hand, he was attracted by the beauty and be silent. However it didn’t last long. The garden’s beauty can’t keep his attention any more. He launched attack to my museum where thousands of rare treasure was exhibited. Of course, Mike had a fierce battle with him which lasted for several days. Though sometimes Mike get the weather, the devil could fight back soon after. The war ended up with our failure. On my way of escaping, I caught a glimpse of that devil. My god! He has a face of me with no difference! He laughed with a dreadful expression and shouted to me: “My name is Mike. I will grab all your heart. Ehahaha…”

    Day after day, battle after battle, the devil became stronger and stronger; the angel, I can’t call him Mike again, seems was not strong as before. Half of my palace has been ruined. And I become half-life. Now I have two guiders. I hate the devil very much, but when he tells me to do something, he can find one hundred excuses to persuade me. He told me to go after short-sighted interests and gave up what I had persisted for a long time. If games and learning are set in front, I choose games for most cases. He said: “Mike, you can never achieve your ambition because you are too weak. So why do you keep on that useless running? Stop and enjoy the beauty under your feet before you die.” I was really less confident then. Perhaps he was right. He had the same face like me. Why did I regard him as a devil? I began to doubt myself: “Is the angel right? Do I have something unusual?

    At the reality, I saw many people are half-lives. I remember how my junior middle school classmate was depraved bit by bit. I heard the gun of execution for those who fall in abyss. Have you seen a person suddenly changes expression? Only one point can explain this, every human’s heart has two sides. The devil cannot be avoided, which must be the human nature, the human’s weakness. I haven’t found any way to overwhelm the devil. So I escaped again and again. I have tried to inhibit the humanity, but I found many good minds will also disappear. “The most dangerous enemy is yourself.” The enemy refers to the devil and the only to eliminate it is to end your life.

    I don’t want to die. If this is the answer, human will die out before they know everything. And if I escape again, the devil’s predict will come true. I will find out the reason why angel’s power is down and  devil’s up. This is the war in myself, and also in ourselves.

    It’s time to fight!

    值得参考

    -- 李敖写在抗日战争胜利 60周年 

      如果我是日本人,我也会去参拜靖国神社! 

      而我是中国人! 

      做为中国人,今天我想起在抗日战场和朝鲜战场上用血肉之躯抵抗了小日本和美帝机枪大炮的几千万中国先辈......我欲哭无泪,我想跪下叩一万个响头......却找不到他们的牌位! 

      日本人为什么要参拜靖国神社?因为对于大和民族来说,里面所供奉的:都是他们民族的英雄呀! 

      为了国家民族的荣誉,日本军人可以驾机冲向美国军舰,同归于尽!战败后可以集体剖腹!剖腹! 

      你知道怎样剖腹吗?把刀插进腹部往胸部用力一剖,再横着用力一刀! 

      淋漓尽致! 

      为了祖国的尊严,你们谁敢!谁愿?!不敢就没有资格说日本人! 

      张自忠,是谁? 

      邱少云,还记得吗? 

      朝鲜战场上的两位特级战斗英雄是谁? 

      回答的出来吗?你知道他们的事迹吗?你知道他们是怎样死的吗?今天我们已经把他们遗忘了差不多了吧? 

      我们已经蜕变了,我们已经没有了精神,我们不配做中国人,我们的时代罕有英雄,罕有男子汉!我们丢了祖宗的脸,中国历史上从来没有一个时代象今天一样窝囊! 
    当然这指的不是我们的政府,而是我们的这一代人。 

      我们的政府懂得强国之道,懂得什么叫忍辱负重,后发制人,我们的政府建立了丰功伟绩。 

      而我们的青年,除了象狗一样叫几声,骂几声,无所作为。 

      我们的祖先在历史上领先了几千年,多少英雄豪杰,多少王朝强盛之极天下之大,唯我独尊,侠客英雄,君子大家层出不穷,他们能够舍生取义,光明磊 
    落,精忠报国,贫贱不能移,威武不能屈。 

      而今天为了钱可以没有人格,更何况什么国家民族的尊严?! 

      没有想到,到了今天,中国已经找不到什么英雄! 

      即使有,也被官吏当作花瓶装饰一下政绩 !被一些白痴当做傻瓜猴子嘲笑! 

      今天是我们自己有人看不起中国传统的东西,它们是西洋的走狗! 

      日本人有靖国神社可以参拜,我们没有!也没有人要去! 

      烈士尸骨还在,名字已经消失...... 

      我想找个给英雄下跪的地方! 

      我想请日本人告诉我当年是谁在中国的哪个地方和日军血战过! 

      不过日本人肯定不告诉我,我们的英雄已经战死几十年,日本人仍然害怕他们。 
     
     
    但今天我们比抗日时有钱,日本人却变本加厉地唾弃我们! 

      这不能怪他们,我们是活该的: 

      一面我们的尾巴翘得如此之高,欢迎日本的二流商品在中国称雄,陶醉于日本影片,崇拜日本明星,我宁愿他崇拜东条英机,将来成为中国的东条去灭了日本。 

      一方面我们的下一代很多被娇生惯养,严肃的东西不看,中国历史一问三不知,中国的未来是一大群软骨头的孬种。 

      当日本人在小学课本里彻底扭曲侵华历史时,我们的教育学家居然在讨论金庸武侠小说要不要入选中学教材! 

      更何况,我们不知从什么时候起,居然连英雄都唾弃。 

      这已不是悲哀那么简单了! 

      在民族精神上,中国人不如日本人。 

      日本人说:从总体上看,支纳人是世界上最低劣的种族。在总体素质上,南方支纳人又要远远优于北方支纳人......我们日本人(除了只会叩头的少数政客外)愿意称你们国家为支纳,不愿称它为中国,但我们称宋代以前为中国。我们轻视支纳人的一个原因是 ......我小的时候,父亲带我去日比谷公园,指着缴获北洋水师的战利品对我说,日本就是在打败支纳的北洋水师后,才成为世界上主要强国的。当我来到支纳的时候,我发现支纳人比我想象的还要低劣,他们对我这个毫无背景的日本学生点头哈腰,说什么都是日本的好...... 当我问他们支纳一个在韩战中为了完成任务宁愿被火烧死的英雄时,他们居然说那种傻瓜再也不会有了。我们日本有靖国神社......我们日本人将会永记为国殉死的英灵,他们在靖国神社里享受他们应得的敬意。每当我们唱起为国而逝的英魂啊,你要常常回到慈母的梦中,我们就会感慨万千,永志难忘。

    我院教育

    我发现我们的教育太应试了,线型代数尤为突出,只有抽象的公式,会背就可以,这或许速度快一点,可是缺乏创造性。

    My view on the statue of study

    Recently I heard my classmates complain about study, no matter it is Math, English, Computer or else. They tried to find out a way to study in pleasure, like watching a movie. I also had that sort of dissatisfaction and complaints in the past. Now I don’t believe there exists such a way.

    When we are in the primary school, the teachers use toys to attract our attention and lead us patiently because we are lack of self-control at that time. This teaching method also made us live happily in the primary school because everyone needs a time to experience the original happiness when he has a pure and bright heart. But we learned little in the 6 years of primary study. As we moved to higher and higher grades, we are more and more mature. We don’t have that naive mind any more and feel it ridiculous when the teachers use toys to guide us. We had seen too many things and have the abstract concept before we entered the junior school. Without the need of seeing concrete objects, we began to study mainly from books. This is an effective way to learn knowledge, though seems boring.

    Study is impossible to be done like watching movies or playing computer games. But it doesn’t mean that we cannot find pleasure. There really exists pleasure in study, but it’s not that kind. When you face a problem, will you work it out with confidence or just escape from it? Your braveness is shown in study. Not all the problems can be solved easily. Do you have the patience to think on it? Your persistence will be paid off. When your family face a problem, you use the knowledge learned from school to solve it. After your hard work, you helped your family by your own hands. Can’t you feel any happiness or pride? Of course you can. You’ll feel that every drop of sweat you’ve paid worth it. And you build up the passion and confidence to keep on study. Isn’t it more interesting and useful than some junk movies and computer games?

    Why so many people feel the study boring? I think it is due to the lack of imagination on one hand, they are inundated with books too long. Under Chinese education system, most students have too much homework to do in 6 years of middle school. They have to face the simplex text and formulas all day but hardly have time to search something of the world themselves. So when it comes to an abstract concept, they can only understand the abstract meaning but cannot think of any concrete material. So they feel the books deadly dull. On the other hand, they have lost the natural interest in knowledge. We all need the pure heart to feel the pure happiness of exploration, comprehension and success. No matter how excellent he is, what he has achieved or where he lives, one must have interest, which is not on purpose, in work to do it well. From the great scientist Einstein to the amazing musician Chopin, they would achieve nothing without interest. Can you recall your happiness in childhood? I remember that when I was a grade 3 in high school, I worked out a math problem and told my teacher my methods. Then my teacher smiled and said: “You are so great!” It sounds like praising a pupil, but I feel very happy and excited, just like a child. I felt that no computer games can give me the same feeling, never. Many seniors with high marks say they enjoy tests. The statue of study should be like that: promoting something and discarding something, from the earlier stage.

    There are too many things that keep us from concentrating on study, even in university. The free style let many of us form a lazy habit, full of conceit. There are cinemas in many universities and the tickets are very cheap; there are tennis courts, computer rooms in which e-games can be played; There are beautiful gardens, swimming pools, magazine stores. All above are positive things. You can hardly to imagine the life without amusement. Only prisoners and frontier defense soldiers have experienced that terrible feeling. But we should adhere to the principle of moderation. I have seen too many people indulging themselves in amusement because they couldn’t restrain their desires. Bad thoughts accumulated little by little. If you can’t judge yourself rightly and criticize yourself for wrongdoings, you won’t be able to control yourself one day. And trivia are very annoying. For example, lose purse. You would have to go many departments to restore your credit card, certificates and other important things besides money. And we have many issues for so called “moral education” to do, such as Long march, the tactics on national defense. they look good. But the some officers of university are formalists. They don’t tell us useful and true things. We cannot say our own mind freely on these issues, just praise them instead. So it’s hard to write 2000 words, because you are telling lies. This style is formed in over 1000 years and hard to change, especially in traditional universities.

    It is very important to study effectively. First, a good way is to use imagination. If you do so, you will find reading books are like playing games, exciting, enjoyable, artistic. A good way to form imagination is reading novels. Second, you must have the ability to manage your time well, don’t let affairs knock you down. Third, often adjust your mentality, be optimistic and brave. You also need self-examination and self-control to walk straight but not go astray.

    Misunderstanding

    How many times do you misunderstand something each day? Do you really think you understand everything well?

    Maybe you can say that you have learned science at school, so you understand the world; you have lived for about 18 years, so you know people’s feelings; and it’s possible that you believe you have a good self-knowledge.

    If you have learned science, you ought to know people thought the earth is the center of the universe until 16th century; people believe phlogiston is necessary for burning until 17th century; they thought stones can be changed to gold by alchemists. How can we make sure our view on world is right? The world is full of misleading phenomenons. We see the earth pull everything by gravity, which is right; we see the sun, the moon, the stars moving around us, which is partly true; we see the surface of earth is plain, which is totally wrong. The proverb “Seeing is believing” doesn’t hold true today.

    If you have lived for 18 years, you should know that people sometimes hide their true feelings and pretend to be happy or sad, by different kinds of reasons; and sometimes we misunderstand others. I misunderstood my parents in the early years of childhood. I thought they didn’t look after me all day because they didn’t care about me. When I realized they just had work to do and loved me very much, I felt very warm, much more than usual. But in most cases, misunderstanding has bad effects. Swindlers mislead us on purpose to get money or valuable things from us. And we may do harm to some good people.

    If you still think you have a good self-knowledge, then you must have no emotion. When you have just done a work well, you feel very proud as if you can achieve everything. When you perform terribly or have just lost your job, you feel depressed as though you are foolish, silly, and talentless. Evaluating yourself too high or too low causes them all. It makes us emotional, so it’s a good thing. But always evaluating yourself wrongly is a serious problem.

    I think everyone is talented when born. If they are not good enough after education, it is because they are not educated properly, and misunderstand the goal, the way or something else. Suppose you begin to learn something, if others praise your achievement, you will be encouraged and continue learning; if others laugh at you, you will feel depressed and never want to think about it. So those who are “bad” were just not given applause at the right time. On our birth, we are related to a race, which cannot be chosen. Some are educated wrongly so that they regard themselves as a unique excellent race; all other poor races should be destroyed, for example the Germen and Japanese in the WWII. And this kind of thoughts is still held by some people among us, including Chinese. All wars are caused by misunderstanding: being swayed by prejudice and not understand the importance of human unity.

    How to reduce or avoid misunderstanding? Perhaps we can communicate with each other frequently and widely. Communicate frequently can ensure we eliminate diverge in time. But it’s not enough. In Japan at wartime, for example, people communicated frequently but they don’t talk with foreigners, so they were easily fooled by government and trained to be killing machines. Today the Japanese government is still trying to hide the truth by juggling the history textbook, and people in North Korea think their living condition is the best because the government even forbids them to use the radio. So communicate widely is important.

    The truth is like the sun, and the misleading things are like the dark clouds. The knowledge is not only from book, we must explore for it ourselves. When you misunderstand the truth, you can only see a black sky. If you poke aside the dark clouds, you’ll see a blue velour similar beauty.

    the meaning of life

    The following is what I have thought recently, the structure is not clear, because my thinking hasn’t come to an end:

    Yesterday I saw the leaves floating down to the ground. I used to think they would come up in the spring of the next year, but then I realized that they would be totally different——they’re another generation. They wouldn’t know anything about the last generation: they don’t know the growing in the spring, the ripeness in the summer, the falling off in the autumn. Not to say the freezing cold in winter, only branches have experienced that.

    We humans are similar. After a century, would the people notice there was a man called Mike Rong? During the development of humans, there had been billions of people showing up for scores of years. Do we know their names, faces, or experiences? I always ask myself: “What am I living for?” “Where am I heading for?” Recently I hear the same questions again, and realized that I am not the only one who has such doubts. Maybe they are common questions. I know it’s a really difficult problem. One day I asked my mother, she told me that we are here to contribute to the society. And another question came:Why should we make contributions?” She said:We humans hold together to achieve what other creatures cannot reach. A single person’s ability is very limited, and a group of people’s ability is infinite.” As a little boy, I didn’t understand what she said, and laid aside these endless questions.

    We had a talk in a bar last night, just the Halloween. So death is unavoidable in our topics. I heard some people said they believe in soul. When people passed away, the soul will not disappear, it will floating in the air or “live” in another place in the universe, where we don’t know. I don’t want to argue about that, but I don’t believe. I used to fear the darkness and ghosts seriously for a long time, until I learned science. I saw the power of science: skyscrapers, nuclear explosion, the satellites in the space……All those were done by humans, it made me feel powerful and confident. So I believe in science firmly. Our consciousness is based on our brain, or rather, the connections of nerve cells. When we die, the blood circulation will stop, and the cells will die because of the lack of oxygen. According to the researches, there shouldn’t be something like soul. I think the superior tells us we have souls is to guide us to live in the sun, concentrate on our business, not to worry too much. They say good man will live in heaven after die, when you do immoral things you will get punishment in the hell, in order to make everybody behave well. I think religion makes illusion to make people live happily, but illusion is not reality. The dead won’t come back. When I think of this, I always feel a sense of sorrow. After I die, I will know nothing about my life, no matter how great I was, or how criminal I was. So it is with my mom, dad, and all good people I know.

    Does a life need a meaning? Life is a series of physical movements and chemical reactions. Do they have meanings? Maybe yes, maybe no. From my point of view, all the scientists are doing one thing: try everything to understand the nature, the earth, the solar system, the galaxy, the universe, and somewhere out of the universe……They want answers to the same question: “What’s the meaning of us?” We learn faster now, under the education system built by the former generations, a pupil’s knowledge is beyond ancient people. We live longer, under the medical techniques invented by the former generations, many deadly diseases can be cured today. I think an important point made us powerful is inheritance. We can use the yesterday’s technology without spending time to develop it. We just use directly even you know nothing about it or improve it if you are a professor in this field. Generation after generation, we are like an undead person who always exploring, understanding, which gives hope to the possibly that we will find the answer one day. It’s a faith of humans. No matter if we can find the answer, what the answer will be, where the exploration lead to. We will try, to find it.

    The world is too complex to be understood, but at least I know: if you make a great achievement in the human history, you will be remembered, like Newton, Bell, Wright Brothers, Einstein……Once your name is written in history, your life is not wasted. Now do you know what is worth doing? Not studying something boring to get a higher mark, to find a high-income job, and breed, and die. What we need to do is something really important to achieve our goals. Of course it’s personal. You should make your own plan and follow your own goal. Some people are actually doing it, what are we waiting for?

    Self-knowledge

    Do you believe the existence of high intelligent life on other planets? Can you imagine that one day a Martian dropped on your back yard garden?

    Recently, I have read a book called "The war of the worlds". It described such a story: In the 1890s, Martians were not satisfied with the environment on Mars, so they landed on earth, each in a cylinder-shaped spacecraft, one after another, to attack us! They controlled two weapons, namely heat ray and poison gas. Our gun proved useless in front of their attack. Many people lost their lives and our home was trampled. Even the capital of the most powerful country at that time——London, was occupied by them in a short time. When the human race is in danger of extinct, bacteria infected Martians and saved us.

    You may think that it’s a tale of tub. I partly agree with you, because until now there hasn’t been any clear evidence showing the existence of Martians. But can you be sure that we are alone in the universe? Moreover, the attack of Martians is just to symbolize the disasters we have suffered or may suffer in the future.

    Have you ever experienced the feeling of terror? Have you ever run away from something dangerous as if you may lose you life when you are a small, helpless child?

    Facing the attack of Martians, humans have showed many disadvantages: lazy, stupid, selfish and so on. All above are caused by one thing: lack of self-knowledge. We consider ourselves always right. We are full of pretension. When the first Martian landed, the humans didn’t believe it’s powerful until it used the heat ray to burn them to death. Even after that, the Londoners are still not aware of danger. How similar it is to the Opium War! When the British battle ships fired our harbors, the Qing dynasty was not waked up and did nothing else but gives reparations. 2 years later, British launched the 2nd Opium War and found that our weapons are still swords and sticks, too primitive. The seclusion policy made us blind, we didn’t know the England had finished the industrial revolution and European countries were never weak any more.

    We always regard ourselves as the most intelligent creature in the world. But in this novel we are to Martian what small insects are to us. When the European intruders attacked the America, how did the Indians consider them? It’s more or less similar to the Martians. Look back to the human history, you will find these words: 1st and 2nd World War, Normandy landing, Stalin grad defending war, Caesar, Hitler……before the other race attack us, we are actually kill ourselves. Most people were dead because of us, not earthquake, not illness, not volcanic eruption. How silly we are! We need to broaden our horizons, improve our insight and regard others friendly.

    Another thing the novel warns us is to keep the perfect balance of nature. Martians have no immune system because there is no bacterium on Mars. When a living damaged another too much, it will be destroyed. That is the rule of nature. We have polluted the environment too much. More people buy cars, more country want nuclear weapons, and more high-tech junks. If we continue doing those, I really doubt weather we can exist after a century.

    “To know oneself is true progress”, Confucius said. The fundamental knowledge is self-knowledge. Lose that, you lose everything.

    Run

    What is running about? Burden? Torture? Once I think so, but now I should say: If your answer is like that, my friend, you know nothing about running.

    When a human come to this world, it learns to creep, soon it can walk, then run. Is that all we can do? We are humans, different from common animals. we want to climb higher, achieve more. Running is not just physical, but emotional as well. When you are depressed, spiritless, running is an easy and effective way to cheer you up. You take on you shoes, walk to the street, that’s all you need. Then you begin, with every pace on the ground, the road lights, trees, people, everything are outstripped, left far behind. Hormone is secreted to make you high-spirited. You will soon enjoy it.

    And one thing you should remember: You don’t have to be very fast, running is for yourself, not others. Everyone ,either you run fast or slow, either you are in perfect shape or too fat, running belongs to you, a human. That is the reason why I carried my running on till today, though I have never been the fastest. When I persuade my classmates to build up a habit of running, many of them said to me: I am too weak, I am too fat, I can’t run fast, I’m not suitable and so on. When the teacher say the final test is 3000 meters running, They fear of it. It is not they can’t run, but they don’t want to. For a person who always run,3000m is not a long distance. The less you run, the more you fear to run.

    Running is a kind of sport, we need strength, perseverance, persistence. Any others? In the track, the runners compete following a certain rule, so running is a game. The spectators cheer us on, they want us to win, we too; In relay races our teammates want us to win, we too. so running is a teamwork. We taste the happiness of winners, the sorrow of losers, so running is an experience. During running match, we control ourselves to run at a certain speed, not to cheer too early, not to give up woo early, you think out tactics on how you can win, so running is an emotional lesson…… Running means many things.

    Running can make you clever. Running can make you strong. Running can make you healthy. Try looking at running from a different angle, join us, my friend.

    别做个“空想丐”

          “空想丐”就是指空想者,空想家。奇怪,做白日梦的人既没有思考者的思维,也没有大家风范,怎么混得个“者”、“家”等的雅号呢?多半是Dreamers自己的封号吧!我看他们两手空空,乞求虚无飘渺的命运给他们希望,所以起了个“空想丐”的名字,比以上两者都准确一些。
          如今的世界,空想丐者不可胜数。酒吧里吃摇头丸的青年希望从那一瞬的快感中得到永恒;学校里玩世不恭的“老大”希望成为统治者,即使被大众唾弃也无所谓;再到无数新开的小公司老板、员工希望公司跻身世界500强。
          为什么有这么多空想家?原因一定是多方面的。从教育的角度说,可能是教育不足,片面的理解了“有志者事竟成”、“天生我才必有用”等豪言壮语。从传媒的角度说,记者多把成功者“神化”;电视剧里也给人一种错觉:很多落魄的氓流能成为大老板;畅销书作者更是抓住了读者的空想心理,写的越来越不现实。从人性的角度说,动物都有趋利避害的本性,这与人的大脑构造有关,是不可能完全消除的。不要以为世上的人只有空想与非空想之分。由于人大脑的构造极为复杂,所以人都是多面的,甚至有多重性格。这一点相信大家都有亲身体会。我们自己也有成为“空想丐”的“潜力”,不要忽视自省这个环节。
         也要注意区别空想和理想。所谓空想,是人有大志而无心去实践。空想与理想的区别在于“做”,而不在“想”。我们不必因常憧憬未来而怀疑自己在空想。
         “空想丐”泛滥如潮,就算真有命运之神,也不会满足他们的乞望吧……

    fragments of memory

    这两天在家闲着没事回想来着,总能想起以前的感悟。考试的时间不仅仅是那说明上的几个小时,考前也是。比如文具准备,睡眠,以及与什么人交流……这些会影响你的心情,反应速度。我在考场上听到有人不耐烦的叹息声,这说明他的心理准备不好。

    An impressive talking

    Today I talked with a french girl.Her shape was very good,tall and thin,more or less looked like my senior school classmate CaiJunTing,so at first I though she was a professional sport player.I have never spoken to a foreigner beginning by myself.Before I said "Excuse me.",I feel extreme nervous,though I know it's nothing difficult.I washed my face to relax,then went to her.She was very friendly.During the dialogue I had made many mistakes,but I feel very happy.She left me a good empression.May the god bless her.

    我的乐趣

    我以前认为乐趣的作用只是让你快乐,对于事情本身没有意义。于是我消减这种冗余的快乐。等真的没乐趣了,我才发现乐趣的巨大作用。它让你在烦琐的生活中不感到无聊,并在你即将失去耐心时给你继续的动力。每做一次俯卧撑,你就能感到肌肉在成长;每背一个单词,你就体会英语等级微小的提升;每抑制一次堕落的想法,道德的伟大让你的心灵充满光明。这是久已逝去的感觉了,最近看一些精神病的小说又使我回想起来。我以前认为靠乐趣来进步的人是庸俗的,我要摆脱庸俗,达到美的境界。其实我的动力仍是乐趣。疲倦时,我想:我没有靠乐趣,我与那些俗人不同。自认为超脱就是我当时的乐趣,不过后来连这乐趣也失去了。我瞧不起小事,换句话说是急功近利,希望一步登天,所以完成一件小事则不以为意。我在四中的经历告诉我,因每一次小事的完成而相信自己的能力,才是完成大事的过程。只可惜明白得较晚,没能在高考中取得好成绩,但也提高了很多。我的乐趣要如何培养起来?

    札记

    今天去公园打羽毛球,场地旁一棵大树的树叶上夹着一个羽毛球。我试图用扔拍子的方式砸下来,但夹得太紧。王凯隆说等秋天叶子掉下来,球就是你的了。我听了,觉得这很有创意。要是在政治课上,要说“这个同学学会了发展的看问题”。我会背很多这样的句子,可没什么用。

    国家图书馆丢包记

    2006年8月12日的一个潮湿的下午,我去国家图书馆借书。存车后又去存包,那个阿姨一边把存包牌递给我,一边提醒我那好牌,我想:就这一小牌,有什么可重视的?我在总馆把借的书放在外面都没事。于是拿在了手里。进了借书室,我放下牌,拿出钱包找卡。划卡后,我特意把牌拿在手上,去电脑那里检索我需要的书。我放下牌,拿出记录书名的纸片。临走时我只拿了纸片,而忘了牌。等我借完书发现牌没有了,找了一遍没找到,去阿姨那里。她把所有的柜子都打开也没找到我的包,后来她回忆起一个男的刚才取走了。我有点惊讶,一个花钱到图书馆寻求知识的人,竟然会干这种偷偷摸摸的事!因为历来知道中国犯罪率极高,所以“有点”惊讶,不是非常。于是我感到这个信用制度不够完善,应该同时出示身份证和牌。幸亏我把学生证和钱包拿出来了,里面只有一张公交卡,一个墨镜和一瓶水。回家后爸爸说社会是很复杂的,一个老师可能在课堂上正义凛然,课下对女学生还有问题。我也常听这种新闻,但没有深刻地思考。再想想,制度总是不完善的,自己要把物品管好,有的时候别人高尚,没打你的主意,但谁也不能相信,只能相信自己。我把我的经历写下来,供大家借鉴,不要再犯这种错误了。
