人生颂

春天，就这样一点点走远。每天醒来看到窗外渐渐变绿，都觉得这一天是崭新的。就像是贝多芬的op130 string quartet 的 5th movement，可以听见清风，流水和摇曳的花，可以感到生机与欢愉。
***
1. 人类渺小，卑微，我只想谦卑的接近真理。
2. 我想做自己热爱，擅长的事情。
3. 人活着，不能只想着自己的需求。燃烧卑微的生命，我能否照亮更多的地方，温暖更多的人？
有了这三点，我不怕自己孤单一人前行。
Learn to labor and to wait.
付出和等待，这是我要学会的。
***
把你的温暖的笑容埋藏在心底。自己过好自己的生活，照顾好自己的学业。
没有什么比过有意义的，充实的生活更让我感到舒心。除此之外的一切，都不在我的能力掌控范围内，so why bother?
我笑了，哈哈，把握自己能掌控的有限的资源，把自己的潜力一点点挖掘出来。人生就是这么简单。我总喜欢复杂化东西。
其实没有那么多纠结和复杂。简单优雅的生活，靠的是实力，那么现在就是付出积累和等待的时候。

奔跑吧！

A Psalm of Life

Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou are, to dust thou returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, – act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sand of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solenm main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.      

                      人生颂
             －－年轻人的心对歌者说的话
                              朗费罗（1807-1882)
                       不要在哀伤的诗里对我说,
                       人生不过是一场幻梦!
                       昏睡的灵魂是死的,
                       事物的真象和外表不同。
　　
                       人生是真切的!人生是实在的!
                       它的归宿并不是荒坟。
                       你本是尘土,仍要归于尘土,
                       这话说的并不是灵魂。
　　
                       我们命定的目标和道路,
                       既不是享乐,也不是受苦;
                       而是行动,在每个明天; 
                        都要比今天前进一步。
　　
                       艺术永恒,时光飞逝,
                       我们的心,虽然勇敢坚决;
                       仍然象闷声的鼓,
                       它在伴奏向坟墓送葬的哀乐。
　　
                       在这世界的辽阔战场上, 
                        在这人生的营帐中;
                       莫学那听人驱策的哑畜,
                       要做一战斗中的英雄!
　　 
                        别指靠将来,不管它多迷人!
                       让已逝的过去永久埋葬!
                       行动吧!趁着现在的时光! 
                        良知在心中,上帝在头上!
　　
                       伟人的生平昭示我们:
                       我们能够生活的高尚,
                       而当告别人世的时候,
                       留下脚印在时间的沙上;
　　
                       也许我们有一个弟兄
                       航行在庄严的人生大海上,
                       船只沉没了,绝望的时候,
                       会看到这脚印而振作起来。
　
                       那么,让我们起来干吧! 
                        对任何命运抱英雄气概;
                       不断地进取,不断地追求,
                       要学会劳动,学会等待。
