看过一个国外的故事:有两个少年在厕所相遇,其中一个找另一个戴帽子的借了点儿手纸。等出了厕所借手纸的给戴帽子的上了根烟,以示感谢。于是俩人边走边聊。戴帽子的说:“最近家里逼着我学钢琴,可我怎么都弹不好,郁闷啊!”借手纸那位诧异地说:“钢琴有什么难学的?我从五岁开始弹,现在越弹越溜。倒是我们家里人老逼着我写诗,烦呐!”戴帽子的一听乐了,从背着的挎包里拿出一沓稿纸:“哥们儿就爱写诗,喏,这都是,不行你拿走回家交差去。”
关键在结尾处,原来这个不爱学琴的就是大诗人歌德,不爱写诗的则是莫扎特。故事讲完了,可能多少会有些出入,但是不赖我,是翻译的问题。大家都知道,翻译的水平总是有高有低。
于是,道理就出来了:人,一定要做自己想做的事情。
话虽然如此,我也知道有时候做起来不像说着那么容易。但是起码应该去争取吧?人只活一辈子——我不相信还有什么来世——所以更值得去好好珍惜。而且,人只有做自己想做的事才能从中得到快乐——能快乐地活着恐怕是绝大多数人所追求的。
就拿写作举个例子。略萨曾经说过:“我敢肯定的是,作家从内心深处感到写作是他经历过的最美好的事情,因为对作家来说,写作是最好的生活方式。”还真是这样,我之所以喜欢写作,主要的原因是它能给我带来乐趣,能让我沉醉其中并乐此不疲。金钱和名誉,只不过是一些可有可无的附加价值而已。
说是这么说,但是我相信:如果你正在做自己喜欢做的事,并付出了不懈的努力。那么,请你一定要坚持下去。因为天道酬勤,付出和回报基本上是成正比。只是有一点,你想做的这件事首先应该正确而且是适合自己的。

When you look back on yourself in the past – 10, 20, 30 or more years ago – it’s surprising to see how much you have changed over time. Your experiences, your friends, your family and your work have all shaped who you are right now. But where will you be in another few years? How will you have changed? Reflective writing in your journal is an excellent way to think about what you want out of the future.
当你10年、20年或更多年后回顾过去时,你会吃惊地发现,随着时光的流逝,你也发生了很大的变化。你的经历、朋友、家庭和工作造就了现在的你。但是再过几年你会在哪里呢?你会如何变化呢?这样反思性的写作,会是思考未来你想要什么的一种好的方式。
You may have already written a letter to your younger self before, conveying all the wisdom and perspective you wish you had had at the time. Now consider the opposite end of the spectrum; what would you say if you wrote your future self a letter?
你也许以前试过给过去的自己写信,向年轻时的自己传授一些人生的智慧和观点,你希望那时候的自己就能知道这些。现在我们换个角度看问题,如果让你给未来的自己写封信,你会写点什么?
Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment 5 years down the road to see how much of it resonated with you. It is a useful supplementary tool to be used in goal achievement, because when you write the letter to your future self, it helps crystallize exactly how you anticipate yourself to become at that specific moment down the road.
想象一下,给5年后的'自己写一封信,当5年后你打开那封信时,你会产生多少共鸣。这是实现目标的一种有用的辅助工具,因为当你给未来的自己写信时,你会慢慢理清希望自己在人生旅途的那个特定时刻变成什么样子。
As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things match up (or not vs. your expectations in the past and think about why that’s the case. Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are subjected to a lot of changes along the way, due to varying obstacles, unanticipated circumstances and changing priorities. The letter gives you a macro-view of your initial vision and lets you recognize how your current vision differs from the past.
当你在未来读这封信时,你可以看看有多少事情是像你过去期望的那样,你也会思考为什么会这样。很多时候,我们设定目标在实现的过程中会受到沿途中各种因素的影响,因为会遇到各种各样的困难、各种意外情况并需要不断调整优先级。这封信能让你从宏观的角度上去看自己最初的愿景,让你意识到自己现在的想法和过去相比有多么不同。
When you open the letter in the future, you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past and compare with how you are currently. This lets you see in totality how much things have changed since then – and this can be a really intriguingexperience. It’s interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter.
当你以后看信时,你会把过去的自己和现在的自己进行比较。这会让你看清从写信时起你发生了哪些变化,这种体验是非常有趣的。光看看从你写信开始发生了哪些变化就很有趣了。

我最喜欢的一件事,就是上网查资料。
在平常学习中,我经常会有这样那样的问题,问老师有时不方便,问家长有时他们不懂。而网上有许多资料,可以帮助我解决疑难。
有一天,我做了个实验,一个玻璃杯盛满了水,把手捂在玻璃杯口上,倒过来,快速移到玻璃茶几上,而玻璃杯口在玻璃茶几上水不流出来,这是为什么?我百思不得其解。就在这时,我想到了我平常最喜欢的一件事——看到不知道、不明白的问题就上网查一查。这时我开始上网,我终于醒悟了,原来是大气把水托住的原因呀。
上网查资料很有意思,这就是我最喜欢的一件事。
要说我最喜欢的事,就要数看书了,书是我的好朋友,是知识的源泉。
还记得高尔基曾说过的那句话“我扑在书籍上,就像饥饿的人扑在面包上。”我就是这样的一个人。
从我哇哇落地,妈妈爸爸就给我讲故事,虽然那时我听不懂,但我知道了世界上还有这种东西,从那时起我便和书结下了不解之缘。
我就是喜欢看书,家里的书约有260多本,可我还不满足,每个周末都要到新华书店看书,妈妈叫我“小书虫”、爸爸叫我“小书迷”,不管怎么样,我就是爱看书。
每当我捧起一本书,好像连九头牛都拖不动。有一次,我买了一本快乐《1+1》作文书,回到家我就津津有味地看起来,这时妈妈叫到:“妞,快来吃饭啦!”我嘴里说“就来、就来!”可书中小玛莉后来又怎么样了呢?我又猜不清,我真的特别想知道,只好再看下去。妈妈看我原地不动,气得火冒三丈,最后还是她把我拖进了厨房。我食不知味,不甘不愿地吃了起来。脑子里想的全是书上的内容。唉!这个时候吃什么饭呀!
书给我带来的好处多得数不胜数,书中生动的故事情节深深地吸引着我,令我陶醉,我读出了书中的酸、甜、苦、辣。读到伤心处我会流泪;读到欢乐时我会哈哈大笑,总之书的好处是无穷的。
看书看多了,我的作文也提高了、词语也丰富了、连语句也通顺多了。
“书是人类进步的阶梯。”我爱看书,书是我最好的朋友。
我最喜欢的事,莫非看爷爷电脑里的幻灯片。爷爷有许多老同事、老同学都经常发来幻灯片,爷爷都保存在电脑的“文档”里,并把它分类:人生、政治、科技、风景名胜、教育与艺术、朋友与健康等等,风景名胜中又分国内名胜、异国风情和千奇百怪等,分门别类,井井有条。我最喜欢看的就是千奇百怪。
我有空,就打开“千奇百怪”,我已经看了很多遍了,真是百看不厌。“千奇百怪”中又分“奇石篇”“怪树篇”“异房篇”等。
“奇石”就奇在形态上:有的像乌龟,有的像大象,有的像猴子,有的像女人,有的像老人,惟妙惟肖,活龙活显;
“怪树”就怪在大树的躯干上:虽然大树都非常茂盛,但它们的躯干形态各异,千奇百怪。有的像仙女跳舞,有的像双鸟自由飞翔,有的像婴儿哭啼……
“异房”就异在房子的结构和正统的不一样上:如英国的人体大厦,建筑的外形就是人的脸,有眼睛、鼻子、牙齿;又如美国西雅图的牛仔靴浴室,外形就是一双靴子;还如波南的弯曲房,房子中所有的房门和窗户都是弯曲的,我想里面应该是方正的;还有如荷兰的立方屋,正个建筑都是由很多立方体堆积而成的;更稀奇的如温哥华的除邪恶的装置,正个房子就建在方形桩上而桩是尖端着地的,如果我住在里面,会怕死的。还有如新西兰的羊建筑,外形就是一头羊,等等。
“千奇百怪”是把全世界最奇特的东西汇集在幻灯片里,经常看,使我长知识、开眼界、饱眼福。周游世界也不一定能看到这些奇形怪状的物体呢!
