通往内在之路--黑塞 谁找到通向内在的路 谁闪烁著沉入自己 谁曾猜到智慧的核 而既然他选择世界 仅仅作为自己的镜像： 那么一切的事迹和思想 都是与他自己的灵魂对话 那灵魂包含世界和神明 文声日涵  她居住在白鸽泉水的旁边，   无人来往的路径通往四面； 一位姑娘不曾受人称赞，   也不曾受过别人的爱怜。 苔藓石旁的一株紫罗兰，   半藏着没有被人看见！ 美丽得如同天上的星点，   一颗惟一的星清辉闪闪。 She dwelt among the untrodden ways     Beside the spring of Dove; A maid whom there were none to praise,     And very few to love A violet by a mossy stone     Half hidden from the eye!

Recently, I found myself apt to be moved by something and some people. This afternoon I recieved the Christmas wishes from my best friend on campus, simple but bringing some special warmth to my heart:

I open my wallet, find no money;

I open my pocket,find no coin;

I open my life,find u,then I know how rich I am!

Merry Christmas!

   (一)

    诗人啊！不要看重世人的喜好，

    狂热的赞美只是过眼的喧闹；

    你会听到愚人的审判和庸俗之辈的讥讽，

    但你要沉着，坚定，冷眼对任何的嘲笑！

    你就是帝王！孤独地活下去吧！

    让你自由的智慧引导你走上自由的道路，

    奋力去完成你所喜爱的思想和果实，

    不为那些业绩去谋求功名利禄。

    奖赏就在你自身。你是自己的最高法官；

    你对自己作品的评价比谁都严厉，

    善于挑剔的艺术家，你只问自己是否满意？

    满意了？那就让庸人去骂吧，

    任他们向你点燃的祭坛唾弃，

    哪怕像顽童去摇你的底座也置之不理。

 

   (二)

    Un vaste et tender        一片宁静
    Apaisement                  高远温存
    Semble descendre         宛自群星
    Du firmament               斗彩之空
    Que L'astre irise.           飘然而下。

有福的惩罚

A famous coach of a great sports team said: “It’s what you learn after you know it all that really counts.” Even if you are quite skilled in something, don’t simply stop searching updated knowledge. Otherwise, ignorance will easily find a way to sneak into your mind.

 

Then what makes the difference between the best and second best? It’s the persistent hard work and self-discipline. Many of us just can’t be bothered to do our very best work. We look for shortcuts and the easier way of doing things. Our problem is we just want to “get by” with work that is acceptable, but not our very best. That in the end makes the difference between the average and the excellent.  

 

I still remember a story I read about Picasso--

In a restaurant, a woman met Picasso, the world-famous artist. She asked him to write something on her dinner napkin. Picasso scribbled something quickly and said to her: “That will worth $10,000.” The woman was shocked and said to him: “But you did that in just 30 seconds!” Picasso answered: “No, it has taken me 40 years to do that.”

 

That woman’s view of celebrity was changed forever. So did mine.

When we look at successful people, we just can’t help admiring their glories and even envying their fame and fortune.

But what we usually don’t get to see is – year in year out, how they sweat the small stuff and work hard at the details and never become self-centered. That’s what makes them successful.

 

As to these business giants, they also keep looking for new deals even they’ve already built up numerous empires. They know if they think ultimate success has been achieved, they will soon get left behind.

Success comes no easy, and it’s even harder to stay successful. It’s true that we can only get out of something from what we put into.

 

Each of us has great potential. We can, and should, keep learning and improving all our life. Don’t just “get by”, we need to get high on life by learning new things and expanding our horizons.

 

Every time when you stretch yourself, even if it doesn’t end up with a great success, you won’t stay your original size. You will become a bit bigger and better than before.

The young prince, who little thought he was talking to the king his father, replied: 'Old sir, she prizes not such trifles; the gifts which Perdita expects from me are locked up in my heart.' Then turning to Perdita, he said to her: 'O hear me, Perdita, before this ancient gentleman, who it seems was once himself a lover; he shall hear what I profess.' Florizel then called upon the old stranger to be a witness to a solemn promise of marriage which he made to Perdita, saying to Polixenes: 'I pray you, mark our contract.'

'Pray, my good friend,' said the king to the old shepherd, 'what fair swain is that talking with your daughter?' 'They call him Doricles,' replied the shepherd. 'He says he loves my daughter; and, to speak truth, there is not a kiss to choose which loves the other best. If young Doricles can get her, she shall bring him that he little dreams of'; meaning the remainder. of Perdita's jewels; which, after he had bought herds of sheep with part of them, he had carefully hoarded up for her marriage portion.

Polixenes then addressed his son. 'How now, . young man!' said he: 'your heart seems full of something that takes off your mind from feasting. When I was young, I used to load my love with presents; but you have let the pedlar go, and have bought your lass no toy.'

'Mark your divorce, young sir,' said the king, discovering himself. Polixenes then reproached his son for daring to contract himself to this low-born maiden, calling Perdita 'shepherd's brat, sheep-hook,' and other disrespectful names; and threatening, if ever she suffered his son to see her again, he would put her, and the old shepherd her father, to a cruel death.

The king then left them in great wrath, and ordered Camillo to follow him with prince Florizel.

When the king had departed, Perdita, whose royal nature was roused by Polixenes' reproaches, said: 'Though we are all undone, I was not much afraid; and once or twice I was about to speak, and tell him plainly that the selfsame sun which shines upon his palace, hides not his face from our cottage, but looks on both alike.' Then sorrowfully she said: 'But now I am awakened from this dream, I will queen it no further. Leave me, sir; I will go milk my ewes, and weep.'

Thus have we seen the patient virtues of the longsuffering Hermione rewarded. That excellent lady lived many years with her Leontes and her Perdita, the happiest of mothers and of queens.

 

Nobody ever misunderstands the melody of a loving heart. Its message is universal; its lyrics transcend all earthly barriers; its music touches the heavens. Moreover, love and hope are the greatest gifts we ever receive.(From Echo's blog)
 

IN the tunes of the Christmas Carols, I know that I've survived from the past 3 blue days.
Thanks should be extended to myself,  my loyal soul mate __the healing music and a lucky acquaintance with Kerry!

Thanks should also be given to the upcoming rejoicing and exciting Christmas which will redeem every lost child !
Thanks all of u !

 

 

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round your Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

  It may well be because the graduate admission examination is imminent, or the memory of him was stimulated to resurface again that I find it's difficult for me now to keep a quiet mind in my studying in these three days. Last evening, in order to escape from such a mental torture I was sufferring, I went to sleep far earlier than usual in hopes of getting rid of the bad emotions in the new morning, but things were not moving in the direction desired.Today, in the fresh warm sunshine, my heart is still visited by fits of chill wind, depriving me of all wamth from the top to the toe.

  Almost being reduced to the deadline, I've felt the heart become a bottomless abyss where I have been lost and falling ceaselessly.A bitter experience! I'm aware I can't wait for the appearance of miracle__being resuced by an angel,and  only can survive by myself.In desperation, I tried to pick some music which has always been the good companion of mine.First, I choosed "Kiss the Rain",with the tune of which, I began to read The Rainbow by D.H Lawrence, which I suppose would bring me some mental serenity at least. And fortunately, it worked. Nevertheless, after about 3 hours' reading, I felt it's time to shift the music and book. With Pride and Prejudice in my hand, I began to choose the music, and this time, however, I found my usual favourite songs on the list were mostly those blue ones, with the soft and slow tunes recounting the sorrowful stories one by one, among which the French song"Magic Bouluvard' was by all means at the top in this sense.Although I may sense some common feelings in these tunes, however, what I needed was not making my mood from blue to bluer but perking myself up, for after all, time is very precious for me now. Unlukily, I failed in this turn,and  in desperation, I ran across First Love_The Last Kiss,although another sad story, however, the tunes  to some degrees making me feel relieved from the complicated and obscure feeling.

   In the temporary relief with the music, I realized that I needed a complete ending of this torturing feeling, with the impulse that I should stand out and cry:Je t'aime, no matter whatever the consequences will be, for even thought what is then waiting for me may be the refusal, cold shoulder or even the evil jeering, at least I'll be set free forever.

（摘自：王仰的空间）

波:  你还在这, 雷阿提? 上船, 赶快上船去, 时辰不早了! 风已吹满帆了, 船在等著你呢。你已得到我的祝福,  {亲吻雷尔提面颊} 还有, 我要你把这些箴言记在心头: 内心之事宜缄口, 仓促之念莫妄行, 为人友善忌轻浮, 患难之友可深交, 酒肉之情应远离。  不要与人争执, 但一旦发生, 让他怕你。凡事需多听但应少言, 聆听他人的意见, 却保留自己的判断。穿你所能负担得起的最好衣裳, 质料应当高贵, 但切忌俗丽, 因衣冠常代表其人; 我听说法国贵族对此尤为讲究。别向朋友借钱也别借钱给朋友, 因为后者常使你财友两空, 而前者则致你奢侈浪费。最重要者: 万勿自欺, 如此, 就像夜之将随日, 你也不会欺将於他人。(就像日夜相随, 你也不会被别人所骗) 再会, 愿我的祝福你能记在心里。 LORD POLONIUS:  Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame! The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee! And these few precepts in thy memory See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportioned thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade.    Beware Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!     除国王之外，波洛尼亚虚伪地面对身边所有的人，哈姆雷特知道他的作为，这句经典的警语，其实没有什么实际意义。一个人如果可以不自欺，他也一定会努力不欺人。可这两种绅士风度从来没有真正地如影随形，这类两难处境早在莎之前就存在，在今天的领袖身上也屡见不鲜。他们最终必让有能力之人在内心产生共鸣，完成手边的工作，否则，任何创新和良好动机，都变得徒劳无益。 “万勿自欺”是个夺目的光环，谁会承认自己想要“欺骗”他人呢？可当你认为这两者“日夜相随”，这警语就变得颇为费解。设问，“欺将于他人”究竟是何涵义，如果他仅仅意味着Your personal statement, Well, that’s OK! Hitler, Stalin also did the same! 可如果它意味着你在“万勿自欺”之时没有对他人造成伤害，这句警语就显得异常荒谬。人非独处于世，大家都是出来混的，人人的目标、价值观和志向亦不相同。Julius Caesar在放逐Publius时没有“自欺”；Brutus在帮助谋杀凯撒时亦没有“自欺”；Mark Antony在背弃自己对Brutus的承诺，让罗马人相信Brutus和Cassius并非“可敬之人”时也没有“自欺”，在《安东尼与克里奥佩特拉》中，屋大维击败老盟友安东尼，导致其自杀时也没有“自欺”。     莎士比亚一再无情地击打我们，他让亨利五世残酷地流放其老友福斯塔夫。亨利没有“自欺”，也没有“欺瞒”他的王国，甚至在执掌王位前就曾给出信号要洗心革面，但他还是“欺瞒”了福斯塔夫。一切的普遍启示都直指“一将功成万骨枯”的辛酸现实，在领袖们“不自欺”时，又有多少人能真正做到“不自欺”。

---Why are you still single? Have you ever met the prince-charming in your mind?

___Yes, frankly, I 've ever met him, but in a wrong place and at a wrong time!

 

Last weekends, I met Lan , my high school classmate, for I came to take a course of politics at Yangzhou University where she's been continuing her graduate studies. Naturally, when old friends came together again, many old topics would pop out from our memories, among which the love stories obviously would be the most welcome and impressive ones. The warming talks brought us great joys and some bitterness which was at least for me, because an impressive and almost unforgetable in my lifetime memory which had been buried deeply in my mind  resurfaced again, making my mind tangled into a mass!

 

It was the time when I was crammed for the entrance examination for university after my first failure in it. It was also the time when I felt the most happy in my whole secondary school time, despite the great pressure on my shoulder, for the reason that I love the classmates there, especially my roommates who've brought great help and interest to my life, and the teachers there. And it was at the time and in the place, I fell in love with a cute boy , which had been buried in my heart from the beginning till now, maybe forever,although I'd never said a word to him,never!

 

Memory is still clear that I was first moved by him.

It was a beatuiful noon, when I was waiting for the bus for home. In a leisure mind, I kept my eyes on every closing vehicales! Out of the blue, he came into my sight, sitting on the back of a motocar and passing over me. Completely out of instinct, I smiled to him, so did he. Un sourire coute moins cher que l'electricite et donne plus de lumiere( A smile is not as expensive as the electricity, but it gives more light to people). And it was indeed from then on, I began to feel some special of him,  kept thinking of him and then------

 

He is indeed a cute boy,at least in my knowledge. Although he was not tall enough, he was always in decent apparels, making you feel comfortable. Although he occasionally blurted out some " rude words", he would have the power to let the listeners ignore them. Although he had a poor performance in maths, his talent in literature both in English and Chinese, politics, geography, etc would make u forget all of his defects.I have to admit, for no reasons, I'd fully been attracted by him. Nevertheless, when I was asked if there was the Mr right in the class by my roommates, I would say"no" without any hestination, for I was then aware that my love came at a wrong time and in a wrong place.

 

Ironically, my campus life was in a city which has some special relationship with him.I've ever tried to search for any information about him, but futile. Everytime when I came back home at the end of the semesters, I would hold some slight hope that maybe I would run across him at the railway station, which was eventually a dream.Dream is dream, but life has to continue.Under the introduce of one of my friends, I expericed my first love in a real sense in the special period of SARS, which technically began before the SARS and ended soon after the SARS. Perhaps we're really not suitable for each other, even when I walked hand in hand with him, I can't feel anything special, and then we broke up!

 

Back to single, I began to put all my attention to the study, and when I felt tired and lonesome, I used to dive into the deep memories of the unrealized love before my first love.

 

More and more excellent people I met, more and more I was encouraged to work hard to strive for an excellent life. On this way, I've become more and more mature and learning to deal with the bad moods in failure and frustration , as well as the terrible loneliness.And I've come to enjoy the benefits the solitary life has broungt to me , quietly waiting for the right time and place to encounter a right man.I believe God has a good arrangement for me!

 

Perk up,Lizzy!

It has been the forth month since I determined to go on my conquest for SISU. From the suffocate late summer to the frozening early winter, I've kept studying in my little room , sensing the gradual change of the temperature outside and the reflections inside. Although I've been clearly aware that it would be a hard task for me not only for its painstaking but also for the possible failure and its consequences, and of  the voices of  admonishment and doubt from the suroundings kind-heared or not, and even myself, however, I finally chose to follow the voice from the bottom of my heart, from the realest myself and form the blatant truth I've been seeking for, out of instinct. And now, 45 days left, I still stick to my erstwhile determination, despite of the fact that I have no idea if I can make it in the upcoming 2007, if  I've made a progress in my professional level big enough to meet the requiremnt of the admission exam , and if I 've prepared well both prefessionally hysically and psychologically.

Why I have taken such a painstaking course, instead of any other relatively far more comfortable one: being a countryside teacher and leading a plain life in my whole life? Where has this power come from? To answer the above two questions, inevidently ,would give rise to another profoundly significant question:what I have lived for?

What I have lived for, love, knowledge , a peaceful and harmonious world, etc? Different answers will make some difference in our lives! As for me, it's the most common and simplest  but overwhelming strong one ---happiness, the happiness of the truest nature , which range from the sweetness of love, the success of career, the seek of knowledge and truth, to the agreeable community, all of which are strongly tempting to me and to everybody else I believe. Nevetheless, no lunch needs not to be paid for, let alone the happiness.Being clearly aware of this point, I know the best and may well be the only way for me to consummate the life as I've wanted is to resume  and perfect my studies, then I'll be capable of wining a successful career and sweet love, and all the beautiful things.

As it has been mentioned, everything should be paid for, either in money or in the sweets and even the blood! The long-time painstaking never thretened me a little. To the contray, those worthwhile striking and struggling have always give me immense sense of fulfillment, making my everyday life worhwhile too. Virtually, compared with being worried or bored to death, I'd rather being toiled to death, for I believe, once we've given something out, we'll get something new new and more interesting back, just as the saying goes:"No pains, no gains"!

As for the possible failure, and its consequences, I 've also preprepared at least in mental to be confronted with them, for I'm clearly aware that failure has nothing to be feared, but the lost of the courage and motive to face up with the challenge which is enriched with the opportunities, because once deprived of the right of venturing to dig a big fortune---the happiness, I'll lose the reasone to live on this earthy world. The truth is when there is the possible failure, there will be the possibility of achieving the prodgiant success.

What I have lived for? I've lived for procuring the great happiness which lies in the great process from the beginning barren life to the fruitful ending.
