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。
①人们在吃饱穿暖之后,知道了要储蓄,以便在需要的时候支取它、借助它走出困境。每当我清点一张张金额不大但令人鼓舞的存单时,心里就有一种感悟:人生,不也是储蓄吗?②一个人呱呱附地,便开始储蓄亲情。这一储蓄会伴随他或她走过一生。他们所储蓄的,是一种血肉相连的情感。是一笔超越时空的财富,无论离得多远,隔得多久都可以随意支取和享用它们。有了亲情这笔储蓄,即使在物质上很贫困,精神上却是富有的,而不懂得或丢失了亲情的储蓄,无异于泯灭了本性和良心。③友情,也是人生一笔受益匪浅的储蓄。这储蓄,是患难之中的倾囊相助,是错误路上的逆耳忠言,是跌倒时一把真诚的搀扶,是痛苦时抹去泪水的一缕春风。真正的友情储蓄,不是可以单向支取的,而要通过双方的积累加重分量。任何带功利性的友情储蓄,不仅得不到利息,而且连本钱也会丧失殆尽。
1在西北边疆的草原上,以游牧为生的柯尔克孜族人家,有一个古老的传统习俗,凡牛马羊牲畜较多的牧户都要豢养猎鹰。其益处一是在放牧时,猎鹰看护畜群防备狼害突袭向主人鸣叫报信或捕食草原蛇鼠之用;二是当作闲暇时放鹰娱乐之用。尤其是牧主人把儿女们抚养长大并各自娶妻嫁夫成家后,一般在与儿子儿媳分家时,必须送上一只猎鹰。在柯尔克孜族人心中,不仅视鹰为一种家当,还视鹰如生命般珍贵。2居玛洪老人准备给二儿子分家,让晚辈独立另过日子,可老人的心中除了父子二十多年来不离不弃的难以割舍之情外,一直闷闷不乐,至今还没有亲手捉一只鹰送给儿子。为了却自己的心愿,就在一个月以前,老人独自骑马早出晚归,一门心思要捉一只雏鹰送给二儿子。老人在三十里外的深山里,寻到了他所要捉的雏鹰目标,但由于雏鹰太小,需待其羽毛丰满快要试飞时才能去捉,所以老人迟迟未去捉回雏鹰。
①城市公共自行车作为一种健康环保的代步工具,已成为绿色出行的象征。一些发达国家城市的公共自行车系统从 、 到 ,日臻完善,成为现代城市交通工具的重要组成部分,并为发展中国家改善交通现状提供了可以借鉴的样本。②1965年,荷兰阿姆斯特丹的一群年轻人将一些涂成白色、没有上锁的自行车放在公共区域,供人们免费使用,被称作“白色自行车计划”。这个勇敢的尝试普遍被认为是世界上最早的公共自行车系统的起源。现在,这个古老且曾经超级发达的城市约有40%的交通由自行车承担,那一条条河道把城市划分成了无数个格子街区,自行车成为最适合的出行工具。此外,荷兰还具有发展城市公共自行车系统的良好基础。早在1890年,荷兰 就开始建设世界上第一条自行车专用道。目前,荷兰人均自行车道路长度居世界第一位,并拥有先进的自行车指路系统,可以提供地点、距离、方向等信息。
