①“所谓经典,就是大家都认为应该读而没有读的东西。”马克·吐温这句话道出了经典的尴尬处境——没有人否认应该读经典,但真正去读的却寥寥无几。为什么人们会对经典敬而远之呢?②因为经典本身是纯粹的,它不打算讨好人,不千方百计诱惑你去读它。作家在写作时,只是要写出他对生活的所感所思和他自己的欢欣与疼痛。他是写给自己看的,至多是写给他认为可以与之对话的人看的,并没有打算让大量的读者成为自己的粉丝,也没有其他的动机。曹雪芹在“举家食粥”的窘境中写《红楼梦》,只是想写出“一把辛酸泪”,并没有想到把它做成畅销书,赚它个盆满钵满。因此,经典不会时刻想着为你提供方便,不会挖空心思哄你逗你,不会因为你理解不了而降格以求。
①云南省勐海县的贺开茶山上,有几个做茶的年轻人。茶山听起来很美好,呆起来可不好受:远离了都市的繁华,朋友圈就那么几个人,洗个澡、看个电影、吃顿料理都不太方便。虽说是为了创业,怎么能呆得住?有个做茶的年轻人杨景润这样回答:人生就像一杯茶,不会苦一辈子,但总会苦一阵子;26岁的崔亚蕾说得更简单:静下来就好了。②静,就是潜下心来,保持安静。有些年轻人缺乏安静的耐心,一味追求高频率,快节奏的生活,一静下来就不习惯,觉得无聊。譬如酒和茶,他们更爱酒的热烈刺激,较少去品茶中滋味。遇事急躁,做事浮躁,还没想好要干什么、怎么干好,就急吼吼做方案拿计划,一旦遭遇挫折,又不知如何是好。又或者“这山看着那山高”,职业规划变了又变,跳槽成了家常便饭。有些年轻人想当然以为动比静好,外向者一定比内向者更容易成功。于是整日忙于交朋友,参加酒场聚会,钻研“成功学”,寻找成功的“终南捷径”,希望一蹴而就。③静的好处很多。《大学》里说:“静而后能安,安而后能虑,虑而后能得”。诸葛亮告诫过我们:“夫君子之行,静以修身,俭以养德,非淡泊无以明志,非宁静无以致远”。显然,安静也是一种“能量”,甚至是一种很强大的“能量”。为了让自己安静下来,曾国藩给自己定了“静坐”的“日课”:每天不管在家还是外出,总要独坐两小时。
