Dear all,
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude to my parents for teaching me to be positive and to be strong. “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” is the opinion held by Aristotle. It is the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct even today, including my parenting.
It is widely acknowledged that parenting, which can also be explained as family education, is of great significance in our character forming and manner acquiring. To be more detailed, setting good examples instead of just giving precepts is the greatest achievement of my parents. They not only taught me to think for the best and prepare for the worst; they taught me how. They not only told me the benefits of being strong in mind; they proved it. All those things require huge amount of time and work, but it’s worth it.
Without my parents’ contribution and education, I would never be who I am now. But most importantly, I would never be more gratitude to them than today.
Yours,
XXX
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
一沙一世界,
一花一天堂,
手中即无限,
永恒亦短暂。
从前有一个樵夫,他有两个儿子。他每天都轮流带一个儿子到森林里去打柴,自己砍,叫儿子帮他拾。后来,这两个儿子都长大了,樵夫就对他们说:
“孩子们,往后你们就自己到森林里去打柴吧,我就留在家里了。”
两个儿子一起说:“爸爸,要是大车坏了,由谁来修呀?”
父亲对他们说:“孩了们,如果你们的大车坏了,或者还碰到了别的什么困难,你们都不用怕,‘需要’会帮助你们的!”
弟兄两个高高兴兴地进了森林,他们手脚很快,打的柴比任何一天都要多。他们把柴捆好,装上车,赶着大车就往回走。可是不巧,车子在半路上坏了。于是,弟兄两个赶紧下车,一起喊了起来:“‘需要’呀,你快来帮我们修车吧!”
他们喊了一遍又一遍,天快要黑了,他们的嗓子也喊干了,可是,“需要”还是没有来。弟弟满肚子不高兴,就说:“这个该死的‘需要’就是不来,哥哥,我们还是自己动手修吧!”
哥哥说:“大概是‘需要’离我们太远了,没有听见我们的话,让我们用最大的力气再喊一阵!”
他们又喊了许多遍,直到把嗓子喊哑了,“需要”还是没有来。
弟弟又对哥哥说:“你看,天已经越来越黑了,说不定我们白喊了,谁知道‘需要’还会不会来修车呢?”等得没有指望了,弟兄两个只好自己动手,一个拿斧头,一个拿凿子,两个人齐心协力、终于把车修好了。
回到家里,父亲问他们:“孩子们,你们是怎么回来的?”
弟兄两个一起抱怨起来:“哎呀,我的爸爸,我们刚走到半路上,车就坏了。我们一直喊那个该死的‘需要’,把嗓子都喊哑了,他都不来。我们拿起斧头和凿子,自己把大车修好了。”
父亲听了,高兴地说,“我的孩子们,这就是‘需要’呀!它就在你们身边,而你们还喊它呢!没有人帮助你们,你们自己不是也把事情办了吗?所以,人们都说,‘需要’会给人添智慧呢!”
