There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.
A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.
That day, he had a good meal.
From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?
People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.
在战国时代的宋国,有一个农民,每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景,也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;要是遇到灾荒,他就得忍饥挨饿了.他很想能过上好一点的日子,可是他太懒,胆子又特小,干什么都是又懒又怕的,总是想着能碰到送上门来的意外之财就好了。
奇迹终于发生了。一天,他正在田里干活,一群打猎的人靠近了。吆喝之声四处起伏,受惊的小动物们没命地奔跑。突然, 有一只兔子,不偏不倚,一头撞死在他田边的树根上。
这天,他美美地饱餐了一顿。
从此,他就不再种地了,一天到晚守着那个神奇的.树根,等着奇迹再次出现。
人们后来就常用“守株待兔”这个成语来形容那些老梦想着不耕种就会有收获的人。

1963年,17岁的少年比尔·克林顿在白宫玫瑰园里,见到了肯尼迪总统。握手的一瞬间,他冒出一个疯狂的念头:我也要做白宫的主人。
此后,克林顿却连续三次放弃去华盛顿。1973年,他从耶鲁大学法学院毕业,华盛顿一些政治大佬看上了他为民主党总统候选人麦戈文助选的经历,邀请他去工作。克林顿考虑了十天,拒绝了,他厌倦了给别人拉票。碰巧,阿肯色大学法学院需要一名助理教授,他决定去做教书匠。
1974年,他萌生了参选阿肯色州联邦众议员的想法。此时,一个名叫约翰·多尔的老朋友打来电话:“我现在是联邦众议院首席顾问,负责调查尼克松总统是否应受弹劫一事,需要年轻律师,快来华盛顿吧。”这一次,克林顿只考虑一天,就谢绝了。约翰·多尔十分震惊:“你犯了个愚蠢的错误。这是弹劾总统!多少人梦寐以求的历史性机遇,你居然放弃?”
“全美国有才华的年轻律师都愿不惜代价为您工作,而除我之外没有一个年轻人愿为阿肯色而战斗。”克林顿礼貌地挂断电话,投入联郑众议员竞选中。他每天工作18个小时,跑遍全州21个县。在每个偏远的小镇,他走进商店、咖啡馆、加油站甚至殡仪馆。“我喜欢一对一地‘零售’政治。这些小店主和殡仪员,认识镇上全部的人,他们就是最重要的选票。”结果,首次参选的他得到48%的支持率,但老资历的共和党人还是赢了。
1975年底,支持者们怂恿克林顿再次参加国会议员的竞选,“去征服华盛顿政治圈”。一个小时后,克林顿就说了“不”。“既然我想为阿肯色做事,不用做国会议员,做别的也行。”他决定竞选州检察长,这次他成功了。1978年他又成为美国历史上最年轻的州长,并获得五次连任。
1992年,从未在华盛顿政坛“混”过的克林顿,成为白宫主人。回首往事,他说:“决定人生的并不是你选择了什么,而是你选择放弃什么。如果当初我去了华盛顿,我后来根本不可能当选总统。”
达尔文是19世纪著名的科学家,进化论的创始者,他生前常说,他的《物种起源》等著作和学说是“集体的产物”。在一封信中他曾这样写道:“我清楚地看到,如果没有那些可钦佩的观察者所搜集的大量材料,我决写不出那本书来。”事实上,他和华莱士的交往便是科学家这种谦虚无私精神的体现。
华莱士是英国著名的自然科学家和旅行家,比达尔文小14岁,他和达尔文一样,进行着科学考察的活动,曾到南美的巴西、马来半岛等地做生物考察,采取动植物标本,在同一个课题上进行研究和写作。其间,他读过达尔文的《一个植物学家的航行》,也和达尔文有过几次通信,讨论交流研究心得,不过两人都没有提及他们各自的独立研究和正在写作的具体内容。
1858年6月18日,正在努力撰写《物种起源》一书的达尔文,收到了华莱士寄来的一篇关于进化论的手稿----《论变种无限地离开其原始模式的倾向》。达尔文惊诧得目瞪口呆,他说:“我从从未见过有这种更加令人惊奇的偶然巧合。......他现在采用的学术名词,甚至也和我的书稿中各章题名相同......”
如果是这样的话,进化论的优先权将归于华莱士了,达尔文再发表著作,就有抄袭和剽窃之嫌达尔文这时思想斗争十分激烈。要知道达尔文已经从事20多年的研究了,当他环绕全球作科学考察时,华莱士还是一个刚入学接受启蒙教育的小学生。达尔文由于旧病复发,加上孩子们身体不好,使得写作时断时续,进度很慢,才让华莱士后来居上。但他不愧是品德高尚的人,他决定退避三舍,成人之美,建议华莱士赶快将论文发表出来,同时为了避嫌,他打算中断自己的写作,让华莱士独享荣誉。
但是,华莱士也是品德高尚的人,他知道了这件事情后,不仅果断地放弃了优先权,而且满怀敬意地对人说:“当我还是一个匆忙急躁的少年时,达尔文已经是一个耐心的、刻苦的研究者了,他勤勤恳恳地搜集证据,来证明他发现的真理,却不肯为争名而提早发表他的理论。”
最后在别人的.劝说下,达尔文同意和华莱士的论文合并,以合著的名义提交林奈学会宣读。达尔文非常感谢华莱士,他写信致意,并说:“如果有着可钦佩的热情和精力的人应该得到成功的话,那么您就是最应该得到成功的人。”
在华莱士的鼓励下,达尔文在1859年11月24日这一天,终于出版了《物种起源》这一巨著,1250册书在当天销售一空。华莱士高兴地喝彩,称这本书是“迄今为止最重要的书籍之一”,并将进化学说这一理论称之为“达尔文学说”。
记得那时四年级下半学期,我下课后在楼梯上追逐打闹,一不小心,摔了个大跟头, 疼得我连步子都迈不开了。爸爸知道后,连忙带我去看医生,医生说是软骨扭伤了,爸爸十分着急:“俗话说的好‘伤筋动骨一百天’看来这下得好好调养几天了。”于是,二话没说,就拨通了黄老师的电话,请了一个星期的假,并向领导请了很久的假。
自从爸爸把我从医院接到家后,他每天都无微不至的照顾我,关心我,我需要什么,他总是在第一时间给予我,平时不怎么下厨的他还特地熬大骨头给我吃,甚至晚上要亲眼看着我入睡,他才放心,第二天,我发现爸爸的眼睛布满了血丝,心想他一定是晚上没有休息好。
一周过去了……
星期一,爸爸开车把我送到学校,并亲自把我背到教室 ,还再三叮嘱我千万不要乱跑。晚上,爸爸来接我,还把我从一楼背到五楼, 到家时,我看到他大口大口地喘着粗气,额头以渗出了细密的汗珠。
第二天,妈妈不停的把菜夹给爸爸,让他多吃些,这时我才发现,这几天下来爸爸真的瘦了,看着他,我的眼泪不禁流了下来。
以前,我从不知道父爱是有味道的,但我今天才知道,父爱是甜的!
