第42章 思想的守望者 (9)

那个人顿了顿,抬起头来,像是沉浸在过去琐碎的回忆里。

“后来,我们都说要知足常乐,希望其他人的生活里充满更多的美好,支撑鼓励他们好好生活。”

然后,他转向我,说了下面的话,好像是从记忆深处背诵出来的。

愿你拥有足够的阳光,让你乐观向上。

愿你拥有足够的雨水,让你更加感激阳光。

愿你拥有足够的幸福,使你精神高昂。

愿你拥有足够的痛苦,这样,生命中再微小的欢乐都会显得巨大。

愿你收获更多,满足你的需求。

愿你失去更多,让你知道珍惜一切。

愿你在永别后,能交更多的朋友。

那个人开始呜咽起来,然后走开了。

知足常乐,尽享人生——我希望你生活中的一切都是有益的、让你幸福的,为此我愿付出我的所有来祈祷。这就是至深而无私的爱!

你的玻璃杯重吗

Put the Glass Down

佚名 / Anonymous

A lecturer was giving a lecture to his students on stress management. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?”

The students’ answers ranged from 20g to 500g.

“It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.

“If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.

“What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”

We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.

So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.

Life is short, enjoy it!

一位老师正在给学生们讲解如何处理压力。他把一杯水举起来,问大家:“你们估计这杯水会有多重?”

学生们的答案从20克到500克不等。

“这杯水的重量其实由你举的时间来决定,而与它的实际重量无关。我要是举一分钟,肯定没问题;但要是举一小时,右臂就会酸疼;若举一天,那你们就该叫救护车了。它的实际重量并没有改变,只是我举的时间越长,就会觉得它越沉重。

“如果我们始终都肩负担子,总会有熬不住的时候,担子也会变得更加沉重。

“你只需放下杯子,歇息一会儿后再举起来。”

我们一定要不时地将负担放下,这样才有利于精力的恢复,继续新的征程。

因此,今晚下班回家后,不要再去想工作的事情,不要把工作压力带回家。你可以第二天再担负起它。

不管你此刻肩负怎样的重担,如果可以,都要将其卸下,休息一会儿。

生命短暂,尽情享受吧!
