第一篇:《三千年的智慧与情感》读书报告
《中国人的心灵》读书报告
一、摘抄
《诗经》对我们而言,是一个迷,它有着太多的秘密没有被我们揭开。可是,它实在是太美了,使我们殚精竭虑不胜疲惫的解谜失败之后,仍然对它恋恋不舍。
其实,文学史就是心灵史。它确实反映了周代广阔的社会生活,堪称周代社会的一面镜子,我们也因此为它冠以“现实主义”之名,但它真正的价值是它表达了那个时代的痛与爱,愤怒与柔情,遗憾与追求……直到今天,我们仍然在痛苦着他们的痛苦,追求着他们的追求。
但是,它终究是诗,而不是历史。它们是经过心灵过滤的。它表达的不是历史真实,而是创作者的“心理真实”。它是情绪,是情怀,是喜怒哀乐,而且,和我们心心相印,息息相通。对了,正是在这一点上,《诗》终于成了“经”:它是个性的,却也是共性的,它是几千年的某一些人在特定环境下的独特体会,却也是几千年来直至今天我们所有人的共同感受……它是我们共同道德观经典表达,是我们共同政治观的经典表达,还是我们共同人生体验的经典表达,一句话,它既是我们民族价值观的经典表达,也是我们民族博大情怀的经典表达。
当一种美美得让我们无所适从时,我们就会意识到自身的局限。“山阴道上,目不暇接”之时,我们不就能体验到我们渺小的心智和有限的感官,无福消受这天赐的多福祉吗?读庄子,我们也往往被庄子播弄的手足无措,有时只好手之舞之,足之蹈之。除此,我们还有什么方式来表达我们内心的感动?这位“天仙才子”,他幻化无方,意在尘外,鬼话连篇,奇怪迭出。他总在一些地方吓着我们,让我们充斥经验、知识以及无数俗念的心灵惴惴不安,惊诧莫名。而等我们惊魂甫定,便会发现,呈现在我们面前的,是朝暾夕月,落崖惊风。我们视界为之一开,我们的俗情为之一扫。同时,他永远有着我们不懂的地方,山重水复,柳暗花明;永远有着我们不曾涉及的境界。仰之弥高,钻之弥坚。造化钟神秀,造化把何样的神秀聚焦在这个“槁项黄馘”的哲人身上啊?
这是由超凡绝俗的大智慧中生长出来的清洁的精神,又由这种清洁的精神滋养出拒绝诱惑的惊人内力。当然,我们不能以此悬鹄,要求心智不高内力不坚的芸芸众生,但我仍很高兴能看到在中国古代文人中有这样一个拒绝权势媒聘,坚决不合作的例子。是的,在一个文化屈从权势的文化传统中,庄子是一棵孤独的树,是一棵孤独地在深夜看守心灵月亮的树。当我们都在大黑夜里昧昧昏睡时,月亮为什么没有丢失?就是因为有了这样的一两棵在清风夜立中独自看守月亮的树。一轮孤月之下一株孤独的树,这是一种不可企及的妩媚。屈原是一本大书,可以让我们代代翻阅儿不能尽其意;或者如胡适所说,是一个大“箭垛”,让我们人人都可以在他那里射中心中所想;或者,如我曾经比喻的,是一个大大的“滚雪球”,当他在时光的坡道上滚过一代又一代时,一代又一代的人都可以在上面附着上自己的东西:即是对屈原的新发现,也是价值的增值。
忠而见疑,便是怨。这怨之来处,即是“忠”。由衷而见疑而产生的怨,是很近于“妾妇之道”的,是颇为自卑而没出息的。更糟糕的是,《离骚》还把自己的被委屈、被疏远、被流放归罪于小人对自己光彩的遮蔽,对自己清白的污染。这小人很像是第三者,插足在自己与君王之间,导致自己的被弃。不可否认的是,中国文化传统中,失意官僚普遍存在的弃妇心态,就是从屈原开始的。
天下之大,人才之多,出路却只有一个。车轴很多,但轴心却只有一个,千军万马挤独木桥,落水者,相蹂践西死者当然不可胜数。一元时代来了,文人的悲剧也就开始了!这是多么透彻的洞见!
但司马迁则异乎寻常的为我们展现了另一种对历史对象的处理方式;他抚尸痛哭,为历史招魂,让历史复活。他让历史的幽灵飞临我们现实的天空,与我们共舞。他为我们展现的,不是历史逻辑,不是历史理性,不是一切理论性的灰色历史结论,而是历史本身,是原生态的历史,或者说,是历史的原生态。
生活在末世与乱世,目睹种种凌厉的鲜血,被迫直面惨淡的人生,但纷乱的社会,也刺激了他们重整乾坤的兴趣与雄心壮志,暗淡的感伤与寂寞的无奈一扫而空。他们忽然发现自己正面临一片荒野,拓荒的欲望与自豪油然而起。
田园就是他的称心的伊甸园,在这里他找到了生命的安全,良心的平静,人性的完整,所以他为他们这种复归欣喜不已,也自豪不已,虽然一度穷困潦倒,以至于乞食于人,但他再也没有反悔过,而是在农村一呆就是20多年,直到仙逝。物质穷乏了,精神却丰富了。他觉得这才是人的生活。
这样的悠悠歌唱,真可以让我们一手持酒杯,一手拍槛杆,反复吟咏,面对“落霞与孤骛齐飞,秋水共长天一色”的景色,“天高地迥,觉得宇宙之无穷;兴尽悲来,识盈虚之有数”,然后不知是因酒而醉还是因文而醉,或者都不是,让我们醉的,正是那无穷宇宙与盈虚之数。总之,他们的局面大了,“有宫廷走上江山塞漠”,空间阔了,空气也清新了,虽然也伤感生命,但不是醉生梦死了,反而让我们心旷神怡。
这是孟子、庄子的境界。孟子的境界,乃正气在胸,浩然之气,充塞乎天地之间。庄子的境界,与造物者游,乘天地之正,御六气之辩,以游无穷。此句上承孟庄。下启苏轼。,东坡《前赤壁赋》之“浩浩乎如冯虚御风,而不知其所指;飘飘乎如遗世独立,羽化而登仙”即本于此。当苏辛词尤其是辛弃疾词出现的时候,我们才发现,此前的词,在表现形态及涉及生活的广度与深度上多么的贫乏,在表现人性时是多么的单调与脆弱。“绝不做妮子态”的辛词,600多首,组合而成的辛弃疾自身形象,英雄气盛而又儿女情长,慷慨纵横又柔情万种,豪宕而又精致,跋扈而有无奈。果毅之资、刚大之气、妖媚之态、体贴之状,这种文学形象,不仅在词史上,即在中国所有的体式的文学史中,都是绝无仅有的。东坡有其磊落光明而无其悲凉慷慨,屈原有其中愤而无其超脱,杜甫有其沉郁而无其豪放,李白有其恣纵而无其小心,陆游有其低迴豪雄而无奇放荡明丽。
二、感想
花了好久读完这本书,觉得自己的理解还是不够。但是读完能够发现它不仅是一部文学史,还涵盖了中国社会变迁的方方面面。而看了这么多文人或喜或悲的人生,我觉得中国文人似乎大多具有一种共同的价值观。这价值观包括:忠君、爱民、追求仕途。
先说忠君。中西方文明都把“忠诚”看做一种崇高的品格,但这两种忠诚却截然不同。西方人的忠诚,好比骑士对国王的忠诚,更多出自一种自身的荣誉感,很大程度上是独立于忠诚的对象的;而中国文人对君主的忠诚却出自他们对君主手中权力的依赖,因为他们总是要依附于某个君主才能“有所作为”。当这些人被君主所弃时,失意官僚出现“弃妇心态”,而这一现象,是从屈原开始的。更糟糕的是,这种忠诚后来演变为一种对权力和掌权者的盲目崇拜,让一些人丧失了自己的骨气,这已经完全曲解了“忠诚”的真正含义。
再说爱民。看起来“爱民”是一件很好的事,但它至少有两个弊处。首先,统治者认为自己不是“人民”的一部分,他们总是居高临下的,以一种同情者的角度去关爱百姓。所以,很多统治者实施的方案,并不能从根本解决百姓的问题,有时候,还会适得其反。其次,“人民”代表一个集体,统治者并没有注意到集体中的个体,所以这导致了传统对个人的基本权利、尊严、自由意志完全忽视。这就是为什么董卓会说出:“吾为天下计,岂惜小民哉!”这样的话。
最后来说说追求仕途。从古至今,仕途一直是很多中国知识分子实现自身价值的途径和体现。而在古代,仕途亦是绝大多数读书人的唯一出路,是他们实现自己抱负的唯一途径。因此,中国的统治者们很容易就可以控制了人们的思想。虽然仕途让很多人改变了命运,活了下来。但它也有很大的弊端——人们的思想太容易被控制,最后导致僵化。这大概也是最后中华民族轻易被西方击溃的重要原因之一。
因此我深深的感到所谓自由之思想、创新之灵魂,对于一个民族、一个国家的发展与壮大是多么地重要。而这自由之思想、创新之灵魂都应该服务于人民,而不是服务于封建的统治者,这应该也是这本书想表达的“中国人的心灵”吧。
第二篇:理智与情感读书报告
The Survey and Analysis of Sense and Sensibility
Once I was not interested in this kind of famous but old works.Perhaps it is because I think the story happened in a time which is very far from me and I can‟t read it calmly.But for an excellent actor named Alan Rickman I would not read this work at all.Sense and Sensibility was screened in 1995.I knew it after I began to worship Alan Rickman.He had a role, Colonel Brandon.Then I decided to watch this movie for him.What surprised me that I totally fell in love with the story and characters in it and I read the work.Sense and Sensibility is Jane Austen„s first work.After reading it I feel it is full of intelligence and emotions, and gives a substantial feeling mind, like Jane Austen‟s other works or herself more.Sense and Sensibility is filled with spice and humor.It twists and turns of two sisters‟ complex love story as the main line to express the relationship between sense and sensibility, and in many cases, the reason should be more than emotional claims.In Jane Austen's day, praise of the emotional content was the mainstream literature, and many people think that no restraint of strong feelings is the best character performance, and neglect whether such feelings will bring their owns or their family members pain or not.If you want to restraint or hidden it, that is wrong.But Jane expressed a different opinion through the two sisters‟ stories.It can be seen from the book.She thought sincerity and warmth are important and valuable, but still need to adjust and control with reason.After all, emotion is perceptual;any unreasonable development may bring much unnecessary suffering to both themselves and their family members.Only if a rational mind and thinking coexist with it, such damage can be reduced to the minimum.And there is no doubt that it is profitable to everyone.Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason.The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne.Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion.Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinor's hand, Marianne admits that while she “loves him tenderly,” she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.Soon however, Marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: Mr.Willoughby, a new neighbor.So swept away by passion is Marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous.Then Willoughby abandons her;meanwhile, Elinor's growing affection for Edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart.Jane Austen has often been considered a woman who led a narrow, inhibited life and who rarely traveled.These assertions are far from the truth.Jane Austen traveled more than most women of her time and was quite involved in the lives of her brothers,1 so much that it often interfered with her writing.Like most writers, Jane drew on her experiences and her dreams for the future and incorporated them into her writing.Her characters reflect the people around her;the main characters reflect parts of herself.In Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Mansfield Park, Elinor Dashwood, Elizabeth Bennet, and Fanny Price all reflect aspects of Jane Austen and dreams she had that were never fulfilled.Jane can also be considered the backbone of her family.After she dies, the family is not as close as they were during her lifetime.Jane became very close with two of her nieces, Fanny Austen and Anna Austen.She counseled them on men and marriage when they reached the age of choosing a suitor.She often helped with delivering her sister-in-law's babies.During her thirties, she lived with her brother Frank for several weeks.She cooked the meals for his family and cared for his children while his wife was confined to her bed.After several weeks of such a life, she felt she needed a break and solitude, but she continued to help her brother and his family until her services were no longer needed.Like the character she creates in Elinor, she sticks by her family and helps them when they need her.Austen's life closely parallels that of Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.Austen begins the novel with the line, “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife”.This statement reflects the opinion of the time that a woman had to be married or else she had no social standing.Just as Elizabeth and her sisters feel immense pressure to get married and procure a good match, so too did Jane.Until she was twenty-five she still retained a small spark of hope that she would one day marry and have children.In Jane Austen‟s Sense and Sensibility there is a theme that runs along with males in the novel.The first born sons are forced to deal with the promotions and abilities that come along with the laws of primogeniture, yet even with all they get they do not lead an altogether happy life.The men that are first-born are in fact too swayed by the power and obligation that comes with their estates.In the novel the first sons are viewed in a negative light, yet the second-born sons have less responsibility to be what society wants them to be and are allowed to be his own.Although Edward Ferrars, is a firstborn, his mother disinherits him because of his lack of focus and ability to be all she wants him to be;as John Dashwood remarks Robert will now to all intents and purposes be considered as the eldest son.We know that Colonel Brandon is a second son because he has an older brother who married his old sweetheart, Eliza, many years before the novel's plot begins.And whereas these characters are the heroes of the novel, all the eldest sons are cast in a negative light, including John Dashwood, Robert Ferrars, and Colonel Brandon's older brother.In Austen's day, the eldest sons were the ones who inherited all the family property according to the laws of male primogeniture.However, in spite of these inheritance laws, it is the second sons who ultimately find happiness in the novel;thus they make content lives for themselves despite societal and financial constraints.This conflict starts at the beginning of the novel, but to his son and his son‟s son with John Dashwood‟s acquisition of the Norland estate.After John receives the inheritance and the estate, he is from then on viewed in a negative manner.He is a weak man and is
constantly influenced by his petty, greedy and mean wife.He was not an ill-disposed young man, unless to be rather coldhearted and rather selfish to be ill disposed.Had he married a more amiable woman, he might have been more respectable than he was: he might even have been made amiable himself.But Mrs.John Dashwood was a strong caricature of himself: more narrow-minded and selfish.His choice of wife, a systematic marriage for money and social stature affects his ability to be viewed as a decent character and he is viewed as a whole with his wife, which degrades him even more so.As far as the Ferrars Brothers are concerned, Edward is the first-born son who seemed to be a second Willoughby but loses his position when he refuses to marry Lucy Steele a rich heiress and wanting to in turn marry Elinor.Mr.Ferrars has suffered from his family;he has been entirely cast off by them for persevering in his engagement with a very deserving young woman.All of Jane's female characters end up happily married, a state Jane herself never felt.A woman was defined in terms of her husband;if she did not marry, she had nothing.Jane's aunt traveled to India in order to find a husband.Well into her twenties, Jane still had dreams of getting married.When she was twenty-five, Harris Bigg, a brother of her good friends, proposed marriage to Jane.At first she accepted: she would become mistress of a large estate, and “be able to ensure the comfort of her parents to the end of their days”.Most importantly, she would have children and raise a family of her own.The next day, however, Jane reneged the proposal.She did not love him and did not want a “marriage based on nothing but money”.After this proposal, Jane gave up all hopes of ever having a family of her own.Instead, she fulfilled her dreams through her characters and found “passion” through them.All her characters marry for love.They make Jane's dreams become a reality within her imagination.Sense and Sensibility created a series of characters and each has unique personality.However, most of the readers want to focus on are Dashwood family‟s two sisters.Elinor is Dashwood family's eldest daughter, an affectionate girl who is ever intellectual.From the beginning, the story showed her more thoughtful and rational mind than her mother and sister.Elinor worked carefully, thoughtfully, and intelligently.Either his love, Edward or hate, Lucy, she can treat them with respect.Besides, when people were discussing, whether Elinor like the topic or not, she wouldn‟t show much more curiosities or make others think she was boring.She could always maintain a certain degree of calm and thinking mind.Anything, Elinor always drew the line in anything.In addition, she was a kind girl, good at finding others advantages, and considerate to others.For Mrs.Jennings, though her behavior proved that she is stupid, but Elinor always talked about her enthusiasm, generosity and justice in front of her friends and sister.For Mrs.Jennings having a comfortable time in her home without Marianne‟s sarcasm and indifference and made Marianne not hurt by doing some overacting things, Elinor received the invitation and went with her sister even if she did this unwillingly.In my view, Elinor is so sober and reserved that she refuses to express her emotions even on her face and nearly loses her true love.When she knew the truth of Edward‟s engagement and Edward‟s love, she eventually
couldn‟t help crying because she oppressed herself so long.All above showed Elinor‟s rational mind, but it doesn‟t mean she is lack of emotion.On the contrary, as her sister, Elinor has an emotional heart, but she is more adept at controlling this emotion.No matter what happened in Edward‟s case have been changed, Elinor didn‟t change her heart.She did not abandon him because of Edward's untalkativity, dull depression, and charges from everyone.She liked his integrity, honesty, loyalty, generosity and felt unfair to his treatment at home and thought about him anytime to try her best to make his situation better.Even if she heard the news of Edward‟s engagement, Elinor was still in love with him.Even after hearing that she was trying to cover up, it was not difficult to see the news damaged her much.It can be seen that her affection to Edward is strong, faithful, realistic, loyal and eternal.This proves that Elinor is not only rational, but also has an emotional heart.And there is a clear and rational mind to remind her to restrict unnecessary emotional impulse.Sense, kindness, wittiness are her proper charms.Comparing with Elinor‟s sense, her sister Marianne is much more emotional.She is bright, but overly sentimental.On the contrary, Marianne is too emotional, always follows her feelings and never covers them.This is a kind of innocent but without thought it can make a person naive and ruined like Marianne.She committed suicide.After trying to killing herself, Marianne realized what true love was and learnt to be rational.Marianne always holds a romantic fantasy in treating love and dreamt to marry an “outstanding character, charming manners” man.She always seeks to deal with feelings of sensation, and romance.She is direct and clear in expressing feelings so that many times Mrs.Jennings made fun of her.Different from Elinor, Marian behaved in society is similar to her feelings of view.She treated people she liked warmly but indifferently and rudely to people shi didn‟t like and gave them a cold face.Perhaps this feeling was the feeling of that time's most respected concept, but Jane accounted for its unseemliness fully through Marian.A real contrast can be seen between the two women when Marianne comes to see Elinor in her bedroom one night.It is the same evening in which Edward has read to the family upon Marianne's incistant urging.Edward lacks the emotion that Marianne thrives on while reading to the women and she has no qualms about sharing this with him.When talking to her sister, Marianne states that she finds Edward to be an “amiable” man, but lacking a certain spark.When Elinor says that his disposition suits her just fine, Marianne is appalled.Her immediate reaction is one of question.Would Elinor rather love a dull, amiable man or the kind of man she would choose? Marianne would settle for no less than a prince on a white stallion, ready to rescue her from the confines of her little cottage.Her man must possess “spirit, wit, and feeling.” Marianne was finally abandoned by Willoughby, fell deep in their emotional outlook of the dominant lower into the abyss of suffering, and could not get away.She almost lost her life, and brought pain to her friends and family.This is the disadvantage of overacting emotion.Except for Marianne‟s “more sensibility, less sense”, she is a very great girl.Marianne is wise, fair, loves reading and thoughtful.Marianne loves her mother and sister very much.No matter she was too emotional at
first, or learnt to be rational at last, Marianne is not willing to hurt her friends and families especially.In addition, she made her effort to make up the damage brought by her sensibility.As the story said, once Marianne realized she was wrong, she would do anything to make up it.She is really an excellent girl, isn‟t she?
In the male role, Edward is the ideal type of women but not brave enough.Edward Ferrars, the object of Elinor's affection is quoted as saying Miss Dashwoods friendship the most important of his life.This is a considerable compliment coming from a man as highly esteemed as Mr.Ferrars.Elinor is viewed by her mother and her two sisters as a saving grace, someone to depend on.To a certain extent this is true, but Elinor also has problems and she doesn't quite know how to let people know about them.Even when Lucy Steele confides in Elinor that she has been secretly engaged to Edward for four years, she tells no one, and bears the burden of a broken heart on her own.At the outset he controlled his affection to Elinor and behaved as a gentleman.He was not rude but always hesitant.It was his attitude that made Elinor blowing hot and cold and didn‟t believe they would be together.I think Colonel Brandon is a complex with both sense and sensibility even though he has also done a choice between reason and emotion.But I still think he is the only one of several main characters who puts the emotion to the first place.Although he exited on his own initiative when he knew the relationship between Marianne and Willoughby, after all his original intention is that he hopes Marianne can be happy.As for Willoughby, a playboy, I only say I‟m sorry.His essence is not bad, and I believe he really loves Marianne, but not enough, in other words, he loves money more, or just himself.The topic of this paper is to distinguish the differences between sense and sensibility.Represented in Jane Austin's novel by two sisters, Elinor and Marianne, the disposition of the two girls can be seen quite vividly.The two girls are accompanied by a mother, and many other well developed characters.One character questionable to the theme of the story is the youngest sister Margaret.Her personality if described would be more like that of her sister Marianne.People can possess rich emotion, but not emotional.Jane thought taking heed in dealing with a matter and inner urge should be balanced.She showed respect to “Money can buy an elegant life”, but the feelings between people are much more important.Being and individual and having the ability to do so is a prevalent theme in this novel.It applies the men who do not have to pressure and obligation to laws of primogeniture who can choose their own path.It also applies to the women who are viewed by society as poor but in fact will become rich because they do not have to bow down to society‟s rules and systems.Despite the way people dealt with life in that time had to constrict to these rules to feel successful yet, the most successful characters in the novel are the ones who were brave enough to break away from the conformity.How each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel.Though Marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the
world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is Elinor whom Austen herself most evidently admired;a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure.Experienced the baptism of life and death, Marianne found the balance point of sense and sensibility.After a long period of repression, Elinor‟s emotions burst out and push the fight of sense and sensibility in her heart to the ultimate.Without dreams, without sentiments, what do we have sense for?
“Sense prevails sensibility, reality exceeds dream”, this is still an inconclusive war.You and me can find ourselves point according to our characters.As Shakespeare said, the course of true love never did run smooth.Of course, the world can not be without love, but not only love.

Novel Report of Sense and Sensibility
Sense and sensibility is a novel written by Jane Austen that was first
published in 1811.She was an English novelist whose works of romantic fictions,and earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature, In her short and glorious life, she wrote about dozens of famous novels, such as sense and sensibility, pride and prejudice, Mansfield park, Emma and so on.When I was in primary school, I had once read the Chinese version of pride and prejudice, through this novel, I have a first understanding of Jane Austen’s vision of love, and realize the life of British girl in that period, but not deep,after reading more and wathed every movieadapted by herworks, I totally love her.Sense and Sensibility is The story about two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood(Elinor represents the “sense” and Marianne represents the“sensibility”)along with their mother and younger sister Margaret, they are left impoverished after the death of their father, and the family is forced to move to a country cottage.Elinor forms an attachment to the gentle Edward Ferrars, unaware that he is already secretly engaged.Edward is a quiet, unassuming young man who does not aspire to be the “fine figure in the world”which his mother and sister wished him to be.Edward's fortune is dependent on the will of his mother.Elinor knows that she would not like her son to marry a woman of as a low rank as she is and does not allow herself to hope for marriage.Mrs.Jennings, a good-humored widow, thinks that Brandon is in love with Marianne and teases them both about it.Marianne dislikes him in fact.in the countryside, Marianne falls and breaks her ankle.Willoughby, a dashing and handsome man, carries her back to Barton Cottage.Willoughby begins to visit Marianne every day and they become very close.Elinor overhears him calling Marianne by her first name and believes that they may be secretly engaged.Willoughby leaves abruptly one day telling the Dashwoods that he must go to London and will not return for a year.His departure greatly upsets Marianne.Edward comes to stay at Barton Cottage near one day.However he seems unhappy and is distant towards Elinor, and she fears that he no longer has any feelings for her.Ann and Lucy , cousins of Lady Middleton, come to visit.soon.However, Lucy then reveals to Elinor that she(Lucy)has been secretly engaged to Edward for four years..Elinor is overcome with grief, but she keeps the information from her family as a promise to Lucy.Elinor and Marianne spend the winter at Mrs.Jennings' home in London.Marianne writes to Willoughby, but her letters are unanswered.They meet Willoughby at a party, but he is cold and formal with them.He then sends
Marianne a letter in which he denies ever having loved her and telling her that he is engaged to a Miss Grey, a very wealthy woman.Brandon reveals to Elinor that Willoughby seduced his foster daughter Miss Williams and abandoned her when she became pregnant.Later, Mrs.Jennings tells Elinor that Edward’mother has discovered Edward and Lucy's engagement.Edward refuses to end the
engagement and his mother, furious because of Lucy's poverty, disinherits him.Marianne becomes very ill after a walk in the rain during which she was wallowing in misery because of Willoughby, andBrandon goes to get Mrs.Dashwood.Meanwhile,he reveals his love for Marianne to Mrs.Dashwood..Mrs.Dashwood wishes for Marianne to marry him too, but Elinor perceives that Marianne still has a lack of regard for him.They learn that Mr.Ferrars has
married Lucy.Mrs.Dashwood realizes how strong Elinor's feelings for Edward are and is sorry that she did not pay more attention to her unhappiness.However, the next day Edward arrives and reveals that it was his brother who married Lucy.He says that he was trapped in his engagement with Lucy, “a woman he had long since ceased to love,” but that she had broken the engagement to marry the now wealthy Robert.Edward asks Elinor to marry him, and she agrees.Over the next two years, Mrs.Dashwood, Marianne matures and after growing to love brandonl, decides to marry Brandon.They marry and live close to Elinor and Edward.The plot revolves around a contrast between Elinor's sense and Marianne's emotionalism;Yet Austen's treatment of the two sisters is complex and
multi-faceted.The ending does, however, neatly join the themes of sense and sensibility though having the sensible sister marry her true love after long,romantic obstacles to their union, and the emotional sister find happiness with a man she did not initially love, but who was an eminently sensible choice of a husband.a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure。The most remarkable characteristic of Jane Austen as a novelist is her recognition of the limits of her knowledge of life and her determination never to go beyond these limits in her books.She describes her own class, in the part of the country with which she was acquainted;and both the types of character and the events are such as she knew from first-hand observation and experience.
第四篇:读书与智慧
读书与智慧
小编导语:这是一篇关于读书与智慧的经典美文,知识如果不成为人生的智慧,那么知识就只是一件装饰品。那些满嘴说得都是别人书里话的人,他们的作用不及于一张电脑存储卡。更多关于读书与智慧的作文素材尽在巨人作文网。
读书的人有两种,一种获得了思想的启发,变成一个智慧而快乐的人。一种丢掉了自己的思想,把自己变成一个生物内存。
读书对前者来说是一种愉悦的享受,他们通过读好书而倾听优秀的思想;他们也许无法和先贤谋面,但经由书籍和大师对话。
知识如果不成为人生的智慧,那么知识就只是一件装饰品。那些满嘴说得都是别人书里话的人,他们的作用不及于一张电脑存储卡。身体丑陋者需要一块遮羞布,而思想贫乏者,知识正是他们的遮羞布。一个人,再多的知识,如果不形成自己的智慧,那就仅仅是件可以炫耀的衣裳,智慧才是美丽的肉身。
每一次面对座座青冢,我们都会心生感叹,所有的有形,即便现在再坚固也终被时间毁灭,惟有精神、人类世代相承的优秀的思想永存,激励着人类前行。
有思想的人被尊为智者,智慧的学说叫做哲学。许多人喜欢谈哲学,哲学在他们那里成了干瘪、抽象的概念,他们在概念的堆积和推理中寻求虚拟的快慰。
没错,哲学在亚里士多德的著作里被称为形而上学。但哲学之所以形而上,不仅仅因为它不研究具体的科学,更重要的是它是研究人类心灵的科学、是智慧之学。
我们的生活点滴中无不蕴含了哲学的踪迹,充满了智慧的火光。我们通过哲学思考去接近于人类的理性,获取智慧的快乐,实现人生的圆满,这正是哲学的意义。
但如果让我去比较读一本哲学书或者去倾听一位年迈农人的絮语,我更愿意去体会后者,实际上每个老人都是一本哲学书。学者的哲学溢于言表,而老人则用行为体现哲学。
子曰:七十而随心所欲,不逾矩。何以不逾矩,是因为他们参透了人生,谙熟了人生之道。何以随心所欲,因为那颗心已经皈依了造化,和造化合而为一。
用心绽放最美的风景
相信拥有一份热爱,便可驱散烈日骄阳;相信心怀一份信念,便可建造最美的花园;相信执着于一份坚守,穷乡僻壤也可绽放出最美的风景。我愿为我心注入一份爱,填满一份信念与坚守,以绽放出人生最美的风景!
为心灵的园地注入信念的水分,长出一方园地的灿烂。我不知道一个人得如何,才能在无尽黑夜中坚守到黎明的曙光;我不知道一个人得如何,才能在花繁柳密中坚守住梦想。我只知道,惟有拥有信念,方可坚信自己,方能重建垣墙,修复梦想!她做到了,因为拥有信念,她放弃自己的百万家财;因为拥有信念,她勇敢地当上村干部;大雨中为村民修建房屋,疾病中仍心系村民。她便是“最美村干部”——段爱平。一个村的梦想,因她的信念而发芽,茁壮成长!梦想路上携手信念同行,我心便是风景最美的园地!
为心灵之舟满载坚守之货,更轻松地驶入一片“桃花源”。谁不向往晴明之日、海不扬波的美景?谁不期待日升月落、潮落星生的风光?人生需要一份坚守,方可造就最美的风景。周有光懂得坚守,终成人们称赞的“周百科”;乔布斯懂得坚守,永不言弃,成就他的苹果梦;蒲柏懂得一份坚守,即使再小的花也要怒放,终成英国文学巨匠。最美的风景往往就在彼岸,惟有懂得坚守之人,方可勇敢地前往,闻到彼岸一缕花香;悠然抱膝沙上,领略到最美风光!
“我从地域来,到天堂去,正路过人间。”对呀!作为生命的过客,我们也不能失去自己的一从精彩。心怀一份热爱,携手一份信念,懂得一份坚守,最美的风景需要用心绽放!
通往天堂的路,拿出自己的真心,铸就民族最美中国梦,创造祖国最美的风景!
我以我心绘风景
穷乡僻壤,美丽乡村。党委书记是怎样使它蜕变?又用怎样的丹青勾勒出这如画风景?
答道:以其信心,凭其决心,用其全心而已。
顿悟,人生如画,我以我心绘风景,绘出个草长莺飞,绘出个青山万丈,绘出一道最亮丽的风景线!
我凭决心绘风景,绘出一件已被黄沙打穿的金甲。乡党委书记凭着过人的决心建设乡村,他成功了;孙权凭借“再有说者,便如此案”的决心,击败不可一世的曹操;邓艾凭着“积军资之粮”的决心,以偏师平定蜀汉;项羽凭着破釜沉舟的决心,打败三十万秦军„„事例太多,但请君细想,若没有决心,曹操可能已一统天下,蜀汉仍能苟延残喘,反秦势力可能烟消云散,那历史大卷中那些亮丽风景岂不消失殆尽?因此,我凭决心绘风景,定要绘出“不破楼兰终不还”的豪情。
我用全心绘风景,绘出一派奋斗之花盛开的图景。乡党委书记用全心投入到乡村建设,于是乡村焕然一新,而正值青春年少的我们,怎么有理由不全身心地投入到勾绘精彩人生画卷之中去呢?但是,我看到了吊儿郎当的学生,我看到了沉迷灯红酒绿的青年,他们的人生画卷,车载斗黯淡无光。林清玄曾说,“我们要以全心来绽放,经花的姿态证明自己的存在”。全心全意,只此四字,要做到却着实不易。孔明全身心地投入复兴汉室的伟业中,即使失败也是一道风景;哈兰·山德士退休后全心研究炸鸡方法,最终在街头巷尾绘出一片“肯德鸡”的风景;科比全心投入篮球,地凌晨四点便开始训练,铸造了紫金王朝那一抹风景,他们,或是儒生,或是老朽,或是“富二代”,都全心投入各自坚守的事业,亲手绘出一段段风景绚丽的人生卷轴,而我们又怎能轻易放弃?
每个人都有能力创造属于自己的风景,但需要信心、决心,更需要的是全心投入。全心全意,蓦然回首,你会发现那风景已在灯火阑珊处。
我以我心绘风景,风景迷人因我心。
心之所安,一路风景
孙中山说:“吾心信其可行,则移山填海之难,终有成功之日。”将心灵安放于所向之事,倾注全身力量执著向前,才能成就一路绮丽而我满的风景。
“心在哪里,风景就在哪里。”跟随心的指引,为此心而用心,以此身来安放心灵,风景便在远处迎接着你。复旦大学陆谷孙教授潜心于学术,将一颗沉静执着的赤子之心安放于汉语言学的研究,以十三年的探索研究成就了最为权威的《英汉大辞典》;无腿青年马陆残缺的身躯中却有颗坚定炽热的心,他将心安放于登遍五岳的冀盼之上,先后征服了泰山、嵩山等名山大岳,成就了生命中搏击长空的奇妙风景;梭罗将心灵安放于对自然的追求,对“物我合一”境界的崇尚,他栖居于瓦尔登湖畔,用心生活,与自然毗邻,在天地辽阔自由的地平线上观赏他独有的人生闪亮的曙光,那是用心追求的最美风景。安放心灵,则一路花香鸟语,一路绮丽风景,而这,无一不是用心的结晶。
正如“最美乡镇干部”安放心灵于为人民谋福祉,我们也应安放心灵于更崇高的境界。左拉说过:“一个人只有献身于社会,才能找到那短暂而有风险的人生的意义。”这正如曼德拉在种族歧视严重的南非安放心灵于黑人权益保护,以一己之力奔走呼号,全心带领黑人与不公正的命运战斗着。他最终成就了“彩虹国”的绚丽风景;正如邓稼先、钱学森等一批科学界元老,安放心于国家振兴与民族崛起,使“两弹一星”的风景灿烂了整个中华大地。将执着奋斗的心灵与荣光满溢的出发点融合为一,安放心灵,用心才能成就别样而博大的景致!
然而,正如香港传媒人梁文道所说“浮躁是这个时代的集体病症。”当浅尝辄止成为思维定式,急功近利成为文化景象,喧嚣肤浅成为喜闻乐见的行动方式,人们势必会消解了用心而行,安放心灵的执着、理性、深刻。许多青年人好高骛远,不能安放心灵于当下,相反对工作对学习百般挑剔;学者们无法安心于研究,不能全心于探求学术真谛,于是,纷纷提着裙边蹬着锃亮的皮鞋穿梭于灯红酒绿的晚会;官员们不能安放心灵于为人民服务,贪污腐败,在盲目追求政绩的道路上迷失,用心于本职成了遥远的绝响。当心灵被物质的琐屑蒙翳,用心的行为在文明的浮华下委顿不堪,也就失去了成就一路风景的所有根基。
“亦余心之所善兮,虽九死其犹未悔。”安放心灵,用毕生精力倾注于它的实现,那么无论是于春风得意中跑马,或是在艰难困顿中蹒跚,亦是一道夺目的风景,人只因安放心灵而使生命得以丰盛而充实。
心之所安,一路风景。
一粒沙的位置
当你放在沙滩中,你只是沙子。——题记
上帝把我的心遗失落在沙滩上,我被搁浅了。我的四周是绵长无尽的沙滩,沙砾昏黄,暗淡无光。
我有些失落,这是我注定的位置吗?
每当夜幕降临,我遥看苍穹,羡慕那些让人仰望的群星,它们明亮夺目,放射着永恒的光辉。然而我也看到群星背后深邃的苍穹,是无边的黑暗衬托了耀眼的星。
但我不甘心。
我转过头来,却看到一道光芒。
狂暴的大海在发怒,孕育着毁灭一切的力量。滔天的巨浪却被一道细小的光束照亮。高高的山崖边,站着一个在狂风暴雨中有些瑟缩的女人,然而她的手却如屹立不倒的石柱,执着的擎着一盏明灯。爱尔克,这个悲伤的姐姐,她并不选择在避风遮雨的家中静静守候她出海的弟弟,而是站在了悬崖之上,用勇气与毅力点燃了长明的希望之灯。
高高的山崖让爱尔克的灯光融入了星光,我赞叹:她在对亲情的守望中找到了自己的位置,尽管她的守望成为了永恒,但她的灯长明,她所站立的位置已经成为永恒的指向。
我开始思索,思索我自己的位置。
当白天来临,炽热的太阳便是一切的主宰。
我惊喜的凝视太阳,那是一个独一无二的位置,一个可以让万物仰视的位置。
然而我又为我可笑的想法而畏惧不已。太阳,那是谁能取代,谁能成为的呢?
一个巨大的背影从我面前掠过,大地都为之震颤。他,一个追逐太阳的人。他似乎永不疲惫,一双坚定的脚早已磨出茧子,然而热情依旧,信心依旧。他依旧昂着头朝着太阳的方向,那是他永恒不变的坐标,他倾尽一生要回到的原点。
炽热的阳光灼伤了他的双眼,我却看到他的眼中迸发出力量和火光,仿佛已经燃烧为两个火球。
我突然地为他悲伤,他追寻着一个他不可能到达的位置。
但是我想错了,我看到夸父结束了他的追逐,他在黄木上进入了太阳的光芒,在燃烧中涅磐了。在那里他得到了休息,得到了永生。从此燃烧成一尊伟大的图腾。
我震惊了。夸父在不停的奔跑中,向着他心中的位置不停的奋斗,其实在奔跑中他已经找到了自己的位置,无论最终他成功与否。
我终于明白,没有什么命定的位置,没有什么无法到达的位置,除非你永远把自己放在了沙滩上。
趁着我的心还未风化成一颗顽石,我远离了沙滩,寻找属于我的位置,我的价值。
我相信,只要我愿意,勇气与信念会让我发光,发出金子般的光。
抓住机遇,成就伟岸
人生中会有弯道与挫折,然而正是人生中难以预料的弯道成就了不平凡的人生。
福楼拜曾对莫泊桑说过:“天才无非是忍耐”。大写的人又怎能逃脱苦难的磨砺?在困境中抓住机遇,迎接挑战,铸就人生的不屈与辉煌,何足畏哉?
大漠千里,黄沙漫漫,驼铃悠悠。你,一个柔韧的奇女子,王嫱,演绎出让人感伤的出塞的神话。一个江南水乡浸透温婉气息的女子却要在风沙裹蚀下把青丝熬成霜白,枯萎了红颜。又有谁可以承受这样的命运,而你,昭君,只是怀一幽怨的琵琶,留下了夕阳下无语的青冢。你,变坎坷的人生际遇为华夏史册上为民族和平而牺牲的永世光辉,熠熠生光。
白露横江,水光接天,纵一苇之所如,凌万顷之茫然。是你啊,旷达的子瞻,泛舟赤壁。你心中何尝不想“至君尧舜上,再使风流淳”?可你逃不了“乌台诗案”,你选择了黄州,造福一方百姓又何尝不好?“羽扇纶巾,谈笑间樯橹灰飞烟灭”,那雄姿英发的周瑜,你仰慕他,然而,你终是你,变人生的轨迹未尝不可?高歌“一蓑烟雨任平生”岂不快哉?
“沅湘流不尽,屈子怨何消!”郑袖的谗言,子兰的诽谤,怀王的昏聩,那儿不是你的容身之所啊,三闾大夫!痛心与失望,如此被排挤,命运多舛,可你依然保存一颗赤子之心!试问,史上还有如你一样的忠主人么?感念朝廷的日益衰败却无力相助,于是,你,自沉汨罗,多么可歌可泣的举动,《离骚》中句句都是你的一片丹心!
“水光潋滟晴方好,山色空蒙雨亦奇”,西湖美景,三月小雨润如酥,你,范蠡,携西施泛舟西湖,散发扁舟。何必留恋勾践的高位名利?你深知越王的可以同苦难,难以同甘,世人谁不留恋名利权位,可你明白“飞鸟尽,良弓藏,狡兔死,走狗烹”的道理和功高盖主皆殒身的教训。走吧,陶朱公三置千金,你,写下了最完美的明哲保身的人生准则。放弃名利,成就了最善的命运。
菜市口人头攒动,一辆囚车押来披头散发的你,戊戌六君子之一的谭嗣同。“变法会有牺牲,那就从我开始!”你大义凛然,昂着高傲的头颅,绝不会向顽固派屈服,用鲜血来唤醒民族意识的觉醒。“我自横刀向天笑,去留肝胆两昆仑”,你,变短暂的一生荣华为民族气节的不朽。
人生会有很多充满艰辛的际遇,充满荆棘,扑朔迷离,可是,我们能够抓住机遇,成就伟岸。
成长与纯真
人生总是在光阴的流逝中慢慢走过,留下的或开心,或无奈的,都是满满的回忆。小时候常常希望快点长大,好像长大后的世界对自己有太多的魅力。殊不知,我们在成长中却迷失了自己,让自己沉沦。
爱因斯坦说过想象力远比知识更重要,因为知识有限而想象力概括着世界上一切并推动着进步,想象是知识进化的源泉。
有人曾做过这样一个测验,给我们的幼儿、小学生、中学生分别看,“O”这个图形,问:“这是什么?”结果大多数中学生说是,“零”或英文字母“O”;小学生中也有相当一部分人这么回答,另一部分小学生则回答是个,“面包圈”“眼睛片”;而幼儿园的小朋友却说了许多成人、中学生、小学生根本没有想到的东西——“眼泪”“肚脐眼”“围棋”“表”等等,让我们不得不惊叹于他们的想象力。
可如今的小孩子个个手拿iPhone 或者ipad,天天宅在家里玩神庙逃亡,汤姆猫等新奇游戏,看似很威风,实际却少了那份小孩子该有的活泼和跟大自然亲密接触的机会,导致越来越多的孩子变成“四只眼”。也缺少了那份小孩子该有的纯真,而且很可能会因知识的禁锢而缺少那丰富的想象力。
小时候的我们天天奔跑在那宽阔的田野上,与青蛙共语,与鸟儿同唱。我们经常面对那水里的蝌蚪,心里想着为什么它长大会变成青蛙。想着为什么地球是圆的,想着长大要当科学家。那时候的我们有梦想有追求,敢于说出自己想要的。可现在呢?
看看青春期的我们,一个比一个“成熟”,女生一天到晚某某明星跟谁怎么怎么了,男生整天看NBA,说的好听是追赶社会潮流,说的难听是玩物尚志。明星与NBA只是我们用来娱乐的东西,并不能当成重心。现在的我们已经如小时候所愿长大了,可我们少了那份原本的纯真,留下了一些无关紧要的东西。成长让我们沉沦。
人在不知不觉中成长,却不应该少了本性的纯真,倘若连原本最朴素的东西都失去了的话,那是不是太得不偿失了呢?只有保留那份纯真,再吸收成长中的精华,才不枉费光阴。正所谓取其精华,去其糟粕。
平凡中的“珍珠”
读着作文材料,我想起了这句名言。平凡如沙的人们,如何在众人面前展露头角,得到别人的尊重,那必须得有“珍珠”啊,这“珍珠”可以说是人的“个性”。“个性”的锻造是我们人生的必修课。
过硬的本领、严谨的作风、自信的信念是个性必备的元素。
大家都熟悉日本著名的音乐指挥家小泽征尔吧。有一次,在参加世界优秀指挥家决赛时,他被安排在最后一名参赛。在弹奏评判员给他乐谱的时候,技艺高超的他发现自己的指挥棒于乐队演奏出现了不和谐的声音,他断定是乐谱出现了问题,但在场的音乐大师们包括评委也都认为乐曲没有问题,他被大家嘲弄了一番。面对这些,他并没有退缩,而是大吼一声说:“不!一定是乐谱出错了!”话音刚落,高傲的评委们向他报以热烈的掌声,最终他以第一名的成绩夺冠。事后才知,这是评委们有意设下的“圈套”,前几位指挥者也发现了错误,但他们没有提出,而小泽征尔用充满自信的一吼,获得了本次大赛的殊荣。小泽征尔虽然是著名的指挥家,但其也是众多指挥家的一员,如果他没有过硬的本领、严谨的作风,加上自信的个性“一吼”,怎来这耀人的成绩!
智慧、胆识、气魄、修养是个性最好的表达。
在中国提起网络、提起阿里巴巴,自然就想到了马云。其貌不扬的他,却以出众的口才,妙语如珠的谈吐获得了世人的承认与尊重。“深凹的面颊,扭曲的头发,淘气的露齿笑,一个5英尺高、100磅重的顽童模样”,“这个长相怪异的人有拿破仑一般的身材,同时也有拿破仑一样伟大的志向!”这是《福布斯》杂志对马云的印象。据说,英国首相布莱尔来到中国,点名要见马云,他说,马云能改变全球商人做生意的方式。百度一下,估计全中国叫马云的人一定很多,但为什么阿里巴巴的马云倍受青睐呢?原因是这个马云具有超出一般马云的智慧、胆识、气魄,更具有一定的修养,因此才备受中外人士的承认与尊重。
对梦想的奋斗与执着是个性张扬的最大气场。
中国电影的发展,张艺谋有不可磨灭的功绩。当今的张艺谋已经是中国电影界的大腕人物,但其艰辛的奋斗历程又有几人知晓?他初涉电影时,只不过是一个名不见经传的摄影爱好者,但他对电影的执着,改变了他的摄影方向,他把摄影与电影结合起来,不知经历了多少苦难,却始终如一,从不气馁,最终在中国乃至世界电影舞台上成了耀眼的“珍珠”。张艺谋的成功,告诉我们,每一个人,都要在梦想成功的这条路上充满干劲,要有不服输的精神,这样的个性才有成功的未来,否则,一切无从谈起。
做一名平凡的“珍珠”吧,因为这些是你被承认与尊重的资本。
鱼和熊掌哪个更重要
常常想起孟子关于鱼和熊掌、生与义孰轻孰重的言论。大千世界中,重要的事情之外似乎总还有更重要的事。不只是战国那个动荡纷争的时代有这样的取舍之难,重要与更重要的分叉路亘古长存,而鱼和熊掌古往今来往往都不可得兼。
如今,生活的压力无形却无处不存。出于无奈,人们在追求安稳与功利中,渐渐磨淡了性子与情感,往往努力做着眼前自己认为很重要的事,两耳不闻窗外事,一心只求安逸活。
诚然,安稳的生活是现代人普遍认为的重要“肥鱼”,可多元化的社会总有更重要的“熊掌”,需要我们做出“更重要”的选择。
我以为处世先修己,做真我方是重中之重。吴为山先生刻的弘一法师像,一身青布单衣,身影瘦削,感悟世事,沧桑而饱满。弘一法师前半生可谓姹紫嫣红开遍,饱满如繁花盛开的春天;而后半生宛若一位大家的山水画,山寒水瘦,素洁、安然。他率真,因而内心的性情丰润。褪下功利社会虚假的面具,我独为我。尝得个“悲喜交集”的人生,在弘一法师看来,似乎比先前的生活更为精彩。
当然,处世独我不可。我为社会人,是社会中的一员。孔子云:“仁者爱人”,近至父母双亲,远至世界万物,内心之爱尤为重要。曾几何时,我们是否因忙于生计而忽略了早已青丝染上白霜的父母?是否因一己私心而漠视了身边摔倒的老人?是否因快节奏生活而忘却了身边的生灵与风景?想起那个屈膝拍花的男子阿来,一部《尘埃落定》让他名声大噪,可他不被名利之鱼所诱,毅然舍鱼而取熊掌,取那份内心之爱。他请全团的人喝酒,歪戴着帽子,唱藏族的《祝酒歌》;在墨西哥想到为母亲买一串珊瑚项链,以满足一个藏族女人的梦。
鱼和熊掌不可得兼,面对安稳功利之鱼与自身真性情之熊掌,吾取“更重要”之熊掌也!
亲爱的朋友,你呢?
天生我材必有用
茫茫苍穹,每个生命都是与众不同的,都有其存在的特殊价值,正如诗仙李白说的那样:天生我材必有用。
水滴虽小,却可以组成大海;沙粒虽小,却可以组成宇宙;绿叶虽小,却可以组成森林„„不管你是什么,上天创造了你,总有你的用处,不成“方”,还可以成“圆”,正如古诗所云:“方圆虽异器,功用信俱呈。”
自己的路是要靠自己去探究、摸索的。不适合这条路,你可能适合另一条路,三百六十行,行行出状元。
美国前总统林肯,他是美国历史上最伟大的总统之一,但他的总统之路走得异常艰难。林肯出生在一个贫困的家庭,他有很多的兄弟姐妹。在他小时候,他的父亲告诉他要想不愁饭吃,就去当大律师。但是由于家里贫穷,他的大律师之路没有走成。于是他被父亲送去当鞋匠,但由于鞋匠主吝啬、狠毒,他的鞋匠之路同样没有成功。后来长大了,他做过清洁工、送报员、服务生等工作,但是他觉得都不适合他自己,他永远坚信着一句话:天生我材必有用。再后来,他去竞选州长,但屡次竞选不上,他伤心,他彷徨,他曾一度想放弃这条路,但他没有,他相信自己,最后他终于成为了美国历史上最为优秀的总统之一。
我国历史上明代着名的富豪万三千,他的钱财多得数不完,甚至富可敌国。万三千曾经是个穷小子,在小时候经常被欺负,他发誓一定要做一个有钱人,于是他去做生意。一个穷小子去做生意当时被很多人耻笑,俗话说“隔行如隔山”,一开始他四处漂泊,到处向人请教做生意的方法,但大家都不愿意将自己的经验告诉他,于是他居无定所,四处漂泊。他曾想自己应不应该做生意,但他不甘做穷人,他觉得自己一定能成大器,“天生我材必有用”。终于在他努力了十余年后,成为了明代第一大富豪。
也许你不适合做医生,但你可以去当律师;也许你不适合唱歌,但你可以去学琴:人生的道路千千万,总有一条道路适合自己。无论是“方”,还是“圆”,都有他存在的价值和意义,最重要的是要有豁达的胸怀。
天生我材必有用,不成“方”可以成“圆”。
方圆相合,方显智慧
屈原曾说:“何方圆之能周兮?”提出的正是方与圆难以相合的道理。反观社会,园瓶,方盒,方圆之用,各得其妙。看到这里,我不禁想到人生的几点智慧。
人生中,“方”是一个人的棱角,是一个人的个性,人人因方而不同。“圆”是一个人的处世之道,“圆”让我们藏其锋芒,在与别人相处时减少“摩擦”。而我们只有融合方圆之道才得成就一个完美的人生。
有人曾说:“方圆齐用,功效俱呈。”处于青年时代的我们却常显刚烈有余而圆润不足,不懂处世之道常让青年人在社会浪潮中屡遭打击。因而作为青年人,我认为要适当收锋芒,提升自己处世之道是十分必要的。
海纳百川,有容乃大,用包容打造“圆”的基础。青年人激情澎湃,追求个性、探寻独立也为时代所需要。但青年人的胸怀却难以容下自己的激情。而成大事者,未有无宽广胸怀者。曹操容下许攸,成就官渡之战的辉煌;蔺相如宽容廉颇,成就了“将相和”的佳话。有人说:“要想自己被社会包容,就要有包容社会的肚量。”青年刚迈入社会,难免会对社会的种种弊端怒不可遏,但如果我们能退一步,多宽容一些,是不是就达到了海阔天空的境界呢?
心静如止水,用冷静作为圆的润滑剂。刚烈而又易激动是青年人的一大特色。激动往往使我们失误,以致作出错误的判断。这时,保持冷静是青年人与世相处的另一个好方法。冷静使我们保持清醒,似隔热层对于火箭,缰绳对于骏马,能束缚住情感,使情感不至于失控。这样当我们遇到社会不公时,就不至于让情绪成为与社会相处时的摩擦力。
我并不是只看重圆,方圆合一,方显人生智慧。只是在我看来,方是每个青年人本来具有的,而如何做圆正是我希望所有同龄人去学的。因而我想说:“把心放宽一些吧,何必要让一些小事折磨你美好的心灵呢?保持冷静吧,日本又拜神社,砸汽车岂能解决?城管凶悍,打人又有何用?”冷静、包容是成圆之道。
让我们一起融合方圆,功用信俱呈,显出智慧吧!
更重要的事
亘古长河,大千世界,人有多少种,“重要”的定义便有多少种。每个人都在做着自己认为重要的事,或现世安稳,或追名逐利,但若站得高一些,或许你会发现这世上总还有更重要的事。
人难脱自私之嫌,故而努力做的往往是自己认为重要的事情,把自己的切身利益视作安身立命的根本。但你是否追问过自己,你认定的重要之义是否真正源自你的内心,而非外界为你做下的决定?在物欲至上的今天,“重要”的意义是否需要重新被审视?
在这个讲究标准的社会里,人们总是一厢情愿地以为,“价值”是可以用一些简单的标准来衡量的,比如:车子、房子、票子„„现实物质很重要;理想、风骨、灵魂„„好像没那么重要;天地之心、生民之命、往圣绝学,和自己似乎没什么关系,自然也没什么重要„„
但梁文道却说,在他看来,生活中那些更重要的事就是相信理想,顺从内心的呼唤,即使做一些看似无用的事,花一些看似无用的时间也无妨,这一切都是为了在已知之外保留一个超越自己的机会。人生中一些很了不起的变化,就来自这些更重要的事。更重要的事,或许不重要于一时,但绝非不重要于永恒;或许不重要于个人,但也绝不意味着不重要于群体。
更重要的事,不是活着就算了,不是周遭世界的蝇营狗苟,不是因盲目追逐而日渐干涩的生活本身,而是要从厚厚的历史尘埃中挺起胸,从琐碎的日常生活中抬起头,向内心深处的自己俯下身去,活得热烈而真实,相信理想并兑现理想。更重要的事,就是不能臣服于现实的一隅,而应相信自己,以天下为己任,在枕戈达旦中锐意进取。
回望百年前的中国,先贤们筚路蓝缕,他们自常人心中的“重要”的俗念中超脱出来,相信还有更重要的事,他们建兵工厂以御外辱,建学校以期未来,引入德先生赛先生为古老的民族带来复兴之光。如今,时间的指针已落在了我们这一代人身上,我们是否还能重拾那些更重要的事?
现实困境在所难免,但总该有人能肩负使命,努力于此,所以我们不能犬儒,不能抱怨一切是不能改变的,我们要寻找最热诚的信念,相信理想,燃灯前行,即使只是荧荧之光,也不中途而返。
诚然,更重要的事需要我们守望,但眼下我们认定的重要之事也需完成,唯有做好重要的事,才有能力有机会去思考去实践更重要的那些事,这样我们才不至于堕入凌空虚蹈的险境。
我们别无所资,唯有对精神、理想这些“更重要”事情的执着。在追寻的过程中,或许艰辛伴随着苦难,但蓬勃向上的心灵永远不会被生活之灰尘封。
愿从本心
或动如惊雷疾电直上九天,或如处子默而无言停泊家港。攀山者和念家者不约而同地说出那句“我愿意”,都是如此坚定。
何者?从其本心而已。
在你我的本心中,潜藏着许多。若情感:儿女之情,手足之情,家国之情,故有冲关一怒,双肋插刀,愤而投笔,血荐轩辕。
违背本心的情感,有手足相残,同室操戈者,登临金字塔高点,数不尽妒忌与艳羡,万人簇拥过后,惟有孤独的长眠。背叛本心的人,本心会给予他双倍的失落与孤独。
反之,若清末举人汪笑侬,风雨飘摇,江山寥落,他竟弃文从戏。所谓倡优并举,意在写京剧艺人的身份地位低下如妓女,汪不顾鄙夷谩骂,不顾练戏之艰,以时政入京剧,开创新剧,意在以这种古老的方式唤醒国民。在他名动天下,嘉奖如纸片发来之时,他那颗早已经受风霜拷问的心在愿景实现后该是如何的欢欣与满足,家国之情,不正是本心吗?
指路灯,登天索,领航舵——那是你我本心中的理想。请听从本心理想的召唤,扬帆远航吧。因为没有会比这个让你更坚定,更愿意为之奋斗。
年轻是珍宝,但社会嘈杂的音乐,迷醉的灯光遮蔽了本心的投影,所以迷茫,挥霍青春。半途而废,中道易辙者大多在此时一声叹息,掉头或干脆坐在地上。
是时候寻找自己那份本心的理想了。香茗,可饮;禅理,可寻;瓦尔登湖,可游;浩渺星空,可览。但这都是手段,真正需要做的是问自己:“最愿意的是什么?”找到它,并为之奋斗。
然而,以上观点建立于亚圣先生的石基——人性本善之上,即你我之本心虽千变万化,仍为善心。追求公正,倡导和谐,弘扬大爱等等。若有人言贪嗔痴,杀伐,虚假等才是其本心,在下不敢苟同。
愿持本心之情感,以无悔对待家人,无愧面对国家;愿持本心之理想,以无惧实现追求,以无畏逐梦人生。
以屈子之诗与诸君共勉:亦余心之所善兮,虽九死其犹未悔。
人生旅途自己把握
随着一天天地成长,人生的旅途越来越艰难,前面的路充满了荆棘和坎坷。虽然没有比人更高的山,没有比脚更长的路,但我们是像但丁那样“走自己的路”,还是做波兰的“常问路的人”,或者学习达??芬奇的“认真考虑”别人的话,还是听从塞纳克的警句?看来,只有靠我们自己把握了。
俗话说:自信能给予人无穷的力量。难道不是吗?我们在做任何一件事之前,都必须充满自信。无论问题是容易的还是困难的,我们要相信自己的能力,相信自己是最棒的。这是最基本的条件之一。海伦·凯勒就充满了自信,虽然她听不见,说不出,看不到,但她坚信自己可以创造奇迹。她做了一个虽眼盲心不盲,虽耳聋思想不模糊,虽口哑却精神不亚于常人的伟人,被世人称为“20世纪最伟大的人物”。这是多么崇高的荣誉啊!她靠的是什么?就是她那坚定的信念,那份伟大的自信。早年跛脚的郑丰喜,别人说他不能上学,但他满怀自信,不仅上了学,还年年拿第一;别人说他骑不了自行车,但他满怀自信,硬是在体无完肤之后让自行车成了他的脚;别人说他一辈子都要跛脚,但他满怀自信,从小就对家人和自己说:我一定要站起来,我还要穿皮鞋。最终他做到了。他依靠自己惊人的自信,使他这艘汪洋中的小船在大风大浪等灾害的攻击下依然不翻。我们感叹这些名人真出色,出色在哪里呢?就在于他们比常人多出的那份自信——他们相信自己。
当然,我们要走好人生的路,还需要听取别人的意见,但并不是每个人的意见我们都要吸纳,而要做到去伪存真,去粗取精。这样才能使自己找到前进的捷径,不致于浪费青春。但无论怎样,向我们提出意见的大都是出于好心。我们应当虚心接受,然后再经过自己的大脑,根据自己的情况作出明智的选择。正所谓一个好的君主,他一定能做到虚心听取诤言,不怕丢面子,明白“孰能无过?过而改之,善莫大焉”的道理。这样才能治理好国家,才能做一代明君,流芳百世。不只是君主,人人都应如此,才不枉自己活了这么多年,才不会觉得人生了无生趣,才对得起上天赋予自己的生命。
朋友,人生旅途上,别忘了带上一张精致的,而且能帮助你走得更好的名片——相信自己但也听取别人的意见。
正确估量自己
生活有时像个迷宫,我们在向着自己理想的方向前进时针因为某些原因而迷失自我。于是我们开始迷惘,从而无法正确的估量自己。而令我们迷失的原因许多时候都是上点点细小而琐碎的事。而许多人都是在自己的贪恋和物欲中迷失。
当一个人有能力的时候,他会依据自己的能力而换取自己想要的东西。然而,每个人的能力都是不同的,我们的举动也应该以自己的能力为基底。因此,我们应当学着如何正确的估量自己。
正确的估量自己就是要看清自己的能力,如果一个人的口头表达能力很弱时,他就不应该强迫自己去做演说家;如果一个人字写的非常难看时,他也不应该强迫自己去做书法家。每个人都有在某方面能力较弱的时候,如果拿自己的弱处去比别人的长处,去做自己做不好的事,即使再怎样努力,都只会事倍功半,最终说不定不仅没成功,还给自己带来空难。而有些人,能正确的估量自己,看到自己在哪方面能力有限,能力不足时,他就不会去挑战自己那仅有的一点点能力,而是在自己在有把握的地方下功夫。
不过不是人人都能做到能正确估量自己的能力,也不是每时每刻都能正确的估量自己。因为当我们看到别人在方面小有成就、小有作为时,难免会发出羡慕的想法;当我们看到自己想要得到的东西时,难免会有那种想要立刻得到的欲望。这种思想和欲望总是会蒙蔽了我们的眼睛,而在此时,我们应该保持理性的心态和心理去面对,我们应该好好地考虑一下我们的能力现在有多少,离这个目标是否还遥远,我们是否有足够的能力去完成它或是得到它。如果不能,我们要到达哪一步才会成功。通过理性的看待自己,再决定自己下一步该如何做,这样的步骤有助于我们正确的评估自己,所以当我们深陷于自己的贪恋、欲望的迷宫时,要理性思考。
也许人人都会走入一个迷宫,当我们走入这个迷宫时,请用理性的眼光来审视自己,用正确的尺度来衡量自己,为自己找到一条走出迷宫的路。
职责——永不凋零的花
将士牢记着自己的职责,在国泰民安时依旧艰苦训练;
白帆牢记着自己的职责,在风平浪静时依旧鼓足勇气;
蜜蜂牢记着自己的职责,在丰衣足食时依旧辛勤工作。
而当那吃着鲜美的鱼的小猫依旧不忘职责去捕鼠之时,我们是不是也该叩问自己的心灵——我们的职责是否该铭记于心。
职责是一盏明灯,它亮在我们的整个生命中,让我们时刻铭记着属于自己的那份责任。当朋友把幼小的孩子和丢弃给他时,他明了自己身上那份卸不下的职责,从此,他日夜奔波,将汗水汇成了一条长长的河,滋润着朋友家人的心田。然而生命对于他过于苛刻,朋友的妻子患病在床,年幼的孩子又需要照顾,他还要在外打工维持生计,所有的艰难一时间都重重地压在这个并不健壮的男人身上。这时的他就是抛弃他们而寻求自己的生命之美本无可厚非,可这个伟大的男人从未忘记过那份职责,他坚强地承担着,用自己的行为谱写着一首充满仁义的职责之歌。他就是朱邦月,一个感动了千万人的牢记职责的英雄。
职责是一朵芬芳的花,它开在我们人生的各个角落,让我们时刻感受着它的芳香和美丽。在四川地震中,一个中年男子为了自己的职责护住了身下的四名孩子,他似乎微笑着感受着人么用无限的崇敬为其铺就的天路,那路旁的花朵是孩子们的微笑,那芬芳也留在了人们的心中,任时光流逝岁月变迁,他那份为了职责而奉献的精神将成为永恒,在这个世界屹立成一座也不退色的丰碑。谭千秋,这个在危难之时固守职责的人民教师所带给沃恩的感动,将如其名字般千秋永传诵。
职责是一曲悠扬的歌,它回荡在我们生活的不同阶段,传诵着我们不同的生命之美。在封建制度的压迫下,他不得不为自己的忠诚之语付出沉重的代价,宫刑这个折磨着他的灵魂和身体的酷刑,如一把扎在他胸口的刀,让他生不如死,但就在这最痛苦之时,他没有舍弃自己的职责而安度晚年,他忍痛写作,为了“究天人之际,成一家之言”的职责,为了父亲生前的遗愿,他苟且偷生,备受鄙视却着成了“史家之绝唱”。司马迁这个可怜的人啊,在巨大的痛苦中仍坚守职责,这是一种怎样伟大的情怀?
当我们拥有了可以不去捕鼠亦可以生活美满幸福时,别忽略了那朵永不凋谢的花朵——职责!
第五篇:《教师的情感与智慧》
《教师的情感与智慧》读后感
周晓蕾
当我认真阅读品味《教师的情感与智慧》这本书的时候,就好像有许多富有情感且智慧的教师站在我面前,他们满腔热血,为教育贡献着自己的力量,又犹如一位位和蔼可亲而又博学的同事,在教育的大舞台上各显其能闪烁出智慧的光芒。教师的情感内涵很丰富,它除了要有奉献精神外,还要宽容、理解、一视同仁等等。
一、热爱“差生”
在我们的创造性的教育工作中,对“后进生”的工作是“最难啃的硬骨头”之一,这样说恐怕没有哪一位教师是不肯赞同的。后进生的教育向来是教育中的难题,他们中有学习不好的,有不遵守纪律的,有懒惰的,可以说是五花八门。于永正老师对“差生”从未歧视过,反而更加体恤、关照他们。是的,热爱“差生”吧,当他们是自己的孩子,是长的难看的孩子,真心地保护和培养“后进生”的自尊感,让他们在平等和睦的师生关系,轻松愉快的学习氛围中感到安全和自由。用高度的放大镜对他们微不足道的“优点”进行放大性处理,发自内心地去赞扬,去鼓励,让他们充满自信,获得进取的动力,调动学习积极性,形成良性循环。
二、将师爱进行到底
薛老师以一颗母亲晶莹剔透善良之心抚养7岁成孤儿的“我”长大成人并考入大学,而薛老师终身未嫁,在44岁时猝然离世。这
是一种博大的无法言喻的师情母爱。谁言寸草心呀,薛老师将全部的爱倾注到作者的身上,作者得到了无比的亲情和挚爱,幸福得长大。真心地爱学生,视学生如自己的孩子一样,关心学生的生活,关注他的成长,这是教师的职责所在。薛老师将这一职责发挥到了极致,人生得此良师,足矣。
三、宽容的力量
撒谎竟然被宽容击倒,李校长真乃教育大家呀。为了逃脱跑操,田宇故意扯掉了裤子上的纽扣,李校长不动声色拿来自己的大裤子,用执着、宽容对待他的狡猾与懒惰。宽容是一种无声的教育,作为教师,一味地批评学生不如给学生点空间,让他们在宽容背后找些台阶下,倘若对学生的错处一味挑剔,呵责,只能令学生更加反感,而且可能激起逆反心理一错再错。宽容别人,其实就是宽容我们自己。多一点对别人的宽容,其实,我们生命中就多了一点空间。海纳百川,有容乃大,李校长以海的博大胸怀挽救了田宇,也教会了我对待学生要以诚待人,以德报怨,要付出真心。宽容的力量是伟大的。
