楚庄王有一次主持朝会处理政事,一直到很晚才结束。樊姬走出屋子迎接他,关切地问:“为什么这么晚才结束?难道大王不饥不倦吗?”
楚庄王说:“今天听到忠诚贤能的臣子进言,所以我不感到饿,也不觉得累。”
樊姬问:“大王所说的忠诚贤能之士,不知是诸侯国中的宾客呢,还是楚国内的哪一个人呢?”
楚庄王说:“就是沈令尹啊。”樊姬听了,掩住嘴巴笑起来。楚庄王奇怪地问:
“你为什么发笑呢?”
樊姬回答说:“我侍奉大王您,负责沐浴、梳洗、铺席,已经有十一年了。但现在,与我身份同等的有十人,比我贤明的有两人。我难道就不想独揽大王的宠爱吗?我是不敢以我个人的私欲来遮蔽别人的美好啊。沈令尹辅佐大王好多年了,但他不曾推荐贤能之人,也不曾贬退无能之人,这怎么能算得上是对您忠诚呢?”
第二天早晨,楚庄王上朝时,把樊姬的话告诉了沈令尹。沈令尹立刻向楚庄王推举了孙叔敖。孙叔敖治理楚国三年,使楚国成为了诸侯国中的霸主。楚国的史官提笔在简策上写下:“楚国成为霸主,是樊姬出了大力啊。”
【说明】 这则寓言说明,一个真正贤能的人,不仅要尽职忠诚,更要善于发现、推举比自己强的人才。
A Baptism Of Love-Love letter
To: Alan ~ From: Jessica
Dear Alan,
I love you. You are my best friend and confidant. Together we are one union, that of love, a love that is unlike any that I have ever felt or experienced before. How did such a blessing evolve?
You amaze me. You make me dance, when before I wanted to walk. You make me sing, when before I only whispered. You make me see, when before I was blind. You are the constant in my life.
I fell in love with you when I realized how blissful love is. It is rare, but, when your heart finds it there is nothing that deters you away. You have baptized me with your love. What a blessing. What a priceless gift. How did I get to be so lucky? Lucky to have found you. My love, always, forever ... I love you.
Love always,
Jessica
我最喜欢的寓言故事是朋友讲关于一条蚯蚓的故事。
朋友说他看到一条蚯蚓明明要往树荫那边爬才能让自己多活命,然而它就是扭呀扭呀扭,一直往太阳光那边爬,他看不下去了用一片树叶给它翻了一个反方向。……
他说他悟透出每个人都有自己不同的业力所造,而恰巧遇到增缘便会改变其命运!我觉得这个故事很有意思。
