第一篇:光阴之足不可惧美文
奥地利作家托马斯?贝雷?阿尔德里奇有一句广为人捧的名言:抚平心灵皱纹,等于青春永驻。40岁后,这句话荣登我日记本扉页,我以最真诚的态度和最醒目的标示,指引自己尽可能抚平心绪的波澜,压缩身躯的欲望,自感“受益匪浅”。因之,我时常以“智慧”和“经验”,嘲笑那些付出昂贵代价从美容院买来曲线、仰仗冬虫夏草或羊胎素养出满面红光的“青春崇拜者”,视他们为“迷途羔羊”。每天,我打开日记本,总是虔诚地告诫自己:要放下全部忧思,战胜消逝的光阴,注入不老的信念。
然而,这个夏天,有个莫可名状的阴影顽强摇晃在我眼前、心底。我突然感到有些厌倦,我问自己为什么一定要这样——让青春不逝?阿尔德里奇的名言真的就是鲜花和掌声的祝福?我镇定的大脑发出惊慌无措的信号。我知道,我必须重新看待这个问题。问题其实很简单,却又因简单而复杂。
青春要别,人要老去,是谁也无法抵御的自然之力,是任何哲人也辩驳不了的真理,人类的渺小与无奈被时间一点一点抽丝剥茧,明明白白地横陈在历史做作的姿态里,化妆品、染发剂、假牙、羊胎素的荒诞和可悲一览无余。不论是追求年轻的外表,抑或追求年轻的心,归根结底都一样,都是在不遗余力地和时间作战,与自然抗拒。然而,这是一场注定要输的战争!更何况,难道青春真的那么无价吗?年轻真的那么美好吗?彼之熊掌,此之砒霜。我们的人生在不断地更易状态,心灵的皱纹和身体的皱纹一样,无法抚平,也没必要去抚平,因为那其实是我们的财富,它在黑暗和误解中默默地改善着我们生存的选择和人生的际遇。它也许并不尽善尽美,但它像春华秋实一样,自然而然。四十不惑,五十知天命,六十耳顺,每个年龄阶段,都有各自的花香。
是的,20岁有20岁的青春和诗意,40岁有40岁的皱纹和诗意。生命是一道时间算术题,生老病死是一个公式,我们无须对光阴之足怀有太大的恐惧,并因为恐惧而改变自己的步伐,让20岁的诗意覆盖40岁的诗意。
第二篇:控制“光阴美文
每个人在时间面前都是平等的。无论你用什么样的态度对待它,它都不会增加或减少。
那些努力工作的人常常抱怨时间太少了,那些无所事事的人却抱怨时间太多了。这就涉及到一个名词:时间管理。在时间管理上,最常见的一个误区为“时间就是金钱”,若在所有的情况下都把此话视为圭臬,就未免走得太远了点。对于大多数职业来说,时间还代表了许多东西,比如质量、创造力等。
要想管好你的时间,你必须注意以下几个方面:
1先干什么?如果要进行时间管理,你就要把目标细分成一个个阶段,将它们重新组合,把最关键的、可以在较短时间内完成的工作提前。
2区分重要的少数和不重要的多数。你应该把时间投入到有意义的事情上。这就要求你在学习时,根据事情的重要程度给它们排序。这样你可以在较短的时间内处理更多的事情,最后你会发现,有些不太重要的事根本就不用做了。
3改变拖延的习惯。对待拖延最好的办法就是把任务分解成小块,将它们见缝插针地安排到平时看起来颇为零散的时间里。几天下来。你会发现,你已抢回了很多时间。
第三篇:《光阴不可轻》红领巾广播稿
杨:亲爱的伙伴们早上好,快乐阳光十分钟红领巾广播开始播音。我是六(4)中队杨蕊琪,欢迎大家收听本次播音。
任:大家好,我是五(1)中队任义,感谢伙伴们的支持。
张:大家好,我是六(3)中队张琳若,很高兴和大家一起学习。
郭:大家好,我是五(5)中队郭炳志,一起学习,快乐成长。
合:欢迎伙伴们的收听,感谢大家的支持。
杨:一寸光阴一寸金,寸进难买寸光阴。同学们,对这句话都耳熟能详,而且也懂得它所表达的意思。尽管我们都知道时间的宝贵,都了解时间一去不复返,但仍有些人经常管不住自己,任凭宝贵的时间悄悄溜走。今天就时间这个话题,本次红领巾广播内容是——光阴不可轻。
任:是啊,早晨来到学校,我们是不是马上拿出课本认真阅读啊?课堂上,我们是否抓住每分每秒认真在听老师讲课呢?做作业时,我们能否做到聚精会神、一丝不苟?
郭:任意问的很好。我们都不能全部做好这一切。大家都知道,“聚沙成塔”、“集腋成裘”、“水滴石穿”的故事。如果我们把悄悄溜走的时间一点点积累起来,那么,我们将能够成就多少事情呀!
张:对。我们每天利用一点时间背诵几首古诗、练习几个汉字、阅读几篇文章,久而久之,你就会发现;掌握的古诗越来越多,笔下的字体越来越漂亮,撰写的文章越来越流畅……这正是时间的力量!
杨:鲁迅先生被称为“天才”,然而,他却如此看待:“别人说我是天才,其实哪有什么天才,我是把别人喝咖啡的时间都用在工作上了。”天才是通过勤奋和努力得来的。
任:嗯。其实呀,我们每个人都可以成为“天才”。如果我们能像鲁迅先生一样珍惜时间,我们离“天才”也就不远了。
张:同学们,不要总觉得“时间还早”,不能总认为“自己还年幼”,不可理所当然地把时间只用在“玩”上。殊不知,当我们玩的时候,时间可没玩,它以自己的速度慢慢逝去,如离弦的箭慢慢远去。
郭:我们可不能让时间悄悄溜走啊。
杨:在匆匆的岁月里,我们做了什么?可以做什么?应该怎么做?同学们,想成为“天才”吗,请大家行动起来,一起来珍惜时间,和时间赛跑吧!今天的红领巾广播到此结束,感谢大家的收听,下周再会!
第四篇:二十几岁是不可挥霍的光阴
二十几岁是不可挥霍的光阴(中英字幕)
Meg Jay Ted英语演讲:
kira86 于2013-06-09 20岁,不可挥霍的光阴。在这个点击过百万的TED演讲中,心理咨询师Meg Jay说不能因为婚姻、工作和子女是以后的事情,现在就可以无规划的生活。她提供三条建议帮助20多岁的年轻人重新审视自己的生活,不要做后悔的决定。
为什么要听她演讲
近期观点认为,25岁似乎太过年轻,无法做重大决定。临床心理学家Meg Jay藉由心理学实务和著作《20世代,你的人生是不是卡住了》阐述,许多二十世代深陷《时代》杂志所谓「我我我世代」的迷思和误导中。她认为「三十世代是新二十世代」的说法使人们轻忽成年阶段最具可塑性的时光。
撷取十余年来与数百名二十世代个案及学生咨商的经验,Jay将科学融入一段段引人入胜、不为人知的故事中。精彩、生动的故事发展,显示为何二十世代并非发展停滞期,而是仅此一次的发展高峰。二十世代是个关键期,我们所做之事-及未做之事-对未来人生、甚至后代都将产生巨大影响。
Meg Jay:二十几岁,不可挥霍的光阴 英语演讲稿:
When I was in my 20s, I saw my very first psychotherapy client.I was a Ph.D.student in clinical psychology at Berkeley.She was a 26-year-old woman named Alex.Now Alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top, and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems.Now when I heard this, I was so relieved.My classmate got an arsonist for her first client.(Laughter)And I got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys.This I thought I could handle.But I didn't handle it.With the funny stories that Alex would bring to session, it was easy for me just to nod my head while we kicked the can down the road.“Thirty's the new 20,” Alex would say, and as far as I could tell, she was right.Work happened later, marriage happened later, kids happened later, even death happened later.Twentysomethings like Alex and I had nothing but time.But before long, my supervisor pushed me to push Alex about her love life.I pushed back.I said, “Sure, she's dating down, she's sleeping with a knucklehead, but it's not like she's going to marry the guy.”
And then my supervisor said, “Not yet, but she might marry the next one.Besides, the best time to work on Alex's marriage is before she has one.”
That's what psychologists call an “Aha!” moment.That was the moment I realized, 30 is not the new 20.Yes, people settle down later than they used to, but that didn't make Alex's 20s a developmental downtime.That made Alex's 20s a developmental sweet spot, and we were sitting there blowing it.That was when I realized that this sort of benign neglect was a real problem, and it had real consequences, not just for Alex and her love life but for the careers and the families and the futures of twentysomethings everywhere.There are 50 million twentysomethings in the United States right now.We're talking about 15 percent of the population, or 100 percent if you consider that no one's getting through adulthood without going through their 20s first.Raise your hand if you're in your 20s.I really want to see some twentysomethings here.Oh, yay!Y'all's awesome.If you work with twentysomethings, you love a twentysomething, you're losing sleep over twentysomethings, I want to see — Okay.Awesome, twentysomethings really matter.So I specialize in twentysomethings because I believe that every single one of those 50 million twentysomethings deserves to know what psychologists, sociologists, neurologists and fertility specialists already know: that claiming your 20s is one of the simplest, yet most transformative, things you can do for work, for love, for your happiness, maybe even for the world.This is not my opinion.These are the facts.We know that 80 percent of life's most defining moments take place by age 35.That means that eight out of 10 of the decisions and experiences and “Aha!” moments that make your life what it is will have happened by your mid-30s.People who are over 40, don't panic.This crowd is going to be fine, I think.We know that the first 10 years of a career has an exponential impact on how much money you're going to earn.We know that more than half of Americans are married or are living with or dating their future partner by 30.We know that the brain caps off its second and last growth spurt in your 20s as it rewires itself for adulthood, which means that whatever it is you want to change about yourself, now is the time to change it.We know that personality changes more during your 20s than at any other time in life, and we know that female fertility peaks at age 28, and things get tricky after age 35.So your 20s are the time to educate yourself about your body and your options.So when we think about child development, we all know that the first five years are a critical period for language and attachment in the brain.It's a time when your ordinary, day-to-day life has an inordinate impact on who you will become.But what we hear less about is that there's such a thing as adult development, and our 20s are that critical period of adult development.But this isn't what twentysomethings are hearing.Newspapers talk about the changing timetable of adulthood.Researchers call the 20s an extended adolescence.Journalists coin silly nicknames for twentysomethings like “twixters” and “kidults.” It's true.As a culture, we have trivialized what is actually the defining decade of adulthood.Leonard Bernstein said that to achieve great things, you need a plan and not quite enough time.Isn't that true? So what do you think happens when you pat a twentysomething on the head and you say, “You have 10 extra years to start your life”? Nothing happens.You have robbed that person of his urgency and ambition, and absolutely nothing happens.And then every day, smart, interesting twentysomethings like you or like your sons and daughters come into my office and say things like this: “I know my boyfriend's no good for me, but this relationship doesn't count.I'm just killing time.” Or they say, “Everybody says as long as I get started on a career by the time I'm 30, I'll be fine.”
But then it starts to sound like this: “My 20s are almost over, and I have nothing to show for myself.I had a better résumé the day after I graduated from college.”
And then it starts to sound like this: “Dating in my 20s was like musical chairs.Everybody was running around and having fun, but then sometime around 30 it was like the music turned off and everybody started sitting down.I didn't want to be the only one left standing up, so sometimes I think I married my husband because he was the closest chair to me at 30.”
Where are the twentysomethings here? Do not do that.Okay, now that sounds a little flip, but make no mistake, the stakes are very high.When a lot has been pushed to your 30s, there is enormous thirtysomething pressure to jump-start a career, pick a city, partner up, and have two or three kids in a much shorter period of time.Many of these things are incompatible, and as research is just starting to show, simply harder and more stressful to do all at once in our 30s.The post-millennial midlife crisis isn't buying a red sports car.It's realizing you can't have that career you now want.It's realizing you can't have that child you now want, or you can't give your child a sibling.Too many thirtysomethings and fortysomethings look at themselves, and at me, sitting across the room, and say about their 20s, “What was I doing? What was I thinking?”
I want to change what twentysomethings are doing and thinking.Here's a story about how that can go.It's a story about a woman named Emma.At 25, Emma came to my office because she was, in her words, having an identity crisis.She said she thought she might like to work in art or entertainment, but she hadn't decided yet, so she'd spent the last few years waiting tables instead.Because it was cheaper, she lived with a boyfriend who displayed his temper more than his ambition.And as hard as her 20s were, her early life had been even harder.She often cried in our sessions, but then would collect herself by saying, “You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends.”
Well one day, Emma comes in and she hangs her head in her lap, and she sobbed for most of the hour.She'd just bought a new address book, and she'd spent the morning filling in her many contacts, but then she'd been left staring at that empty blank that comes after the words “In case of emergency, please call....” She was nearly hysterical when she looked at me and said, “Who's going to be there for me if I get in a car wreck? Who's going to take care of me if I have cancer?”
Now in that moment, it took everything I had not to say, “I will.” But what Emma needed wasn't some therapist who really, really cared.Emma needed a better life, and I knew this was her chance.I had learned too much since I first worked with Alex to just sit there while Emma's defining decade went parading by.So over the next weeks and months, I told Emma three things that every twentysomething, male or female, deserves to hear.First, I told Emma to forget about having an identity crisis and get some identity capital.By get identity capital, I mean do something that adds value to who you are.Do something that's an investment in who you might want to be next.I didn't know the future of Emma's career, and no one knows the future of work, but I do know this: Identity capital begets identity capital.So now is the time for that cross-country job, that internship, that startup you want to try.I'm not discounting twentysomething exploration here, but I am discounting exploration that's not supposed to count, which, by the way, is not exploration.That's procrastination.I told Emma to explore work and make it count.Second, I told Emma that the urban tribe is overrated.Best friends are great for giving rides to the airport, but twentysomethings who huddle together with like-minded peers limit who they know, what they know, how they think, how they speak, and where they work.That new piece of capital, that new person to date almost always comes from outside the inner circle.New things come from what are called our weak ties, our friends of friends of friends.So yes, half of twentysomethings are un-or under-employed.But half aren't, and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group.Half of new jobs are never posted, so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that un-posted job.It's not cheating.It's the science of how information spreads.Last but not least, Emma believed that you can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends.Now this was true for her growing up, but as a twentysomething, soon Emma would pick her family when she partnered with someone and created a family of her own.I told Emma the time to start picking your family is now.Now you may be thinking that 30 is actually a better time to settle down than 20, or even 25, and I agree with you.But grabbing whoever you're living with or sleeping with when everyone on Facebook starts walking down the aisle is not progress.The best time to work on your marriage is before you have one, and that means being as intentional with love as you are with work.Picking your family is about consciously choosing who and what you want rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing you.So what happened to Emma? Well, we went through that address book, and she found an old roommate's cousin who worked at an art museum in another state.That weak tie helped her get a job there.That job offer gave her the reason to leave that live-in boyfriend.Now, five years later, she's a special events planner for museums.She's married to a man she mindfully chose.She loves her new career, she loves her new family, and she sent me a card that said, “Now the emergency contact blanks don't seem big enough.”
Now Emma's story made that sound easy, but that's what I love about working with twentysomethings.They are so easy to help.Twentysomethings are like airplanes just leaving LAX, bound for somewhere west.Right after takeoff, a slight change in course is the difference between landing in Alaska or Fiji.Likewise, at 21 or 25 or even 29, one good conversation, one good break, one good TED Talk, can have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come.So here's an idea worth spreading to every twentysomething you know.It's as simple as what I learned to say to Alex.It's what I now have the privilege of saying to twentysomethings like Emma every single day: Thirty is not the new 20, so claim your adulthood, get some identity capital, use your weak ties, pick your family.Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do.You're deciding your life right now.Thank you.(Applause)

第五篇:上帝的足美文
有一个晚上,有一个人做了梦,他梦到他正与上帝一同沿着沙滩散步。
天空中闪现过一些他生活中的场景。
他注意到每个场景都有两组足迹印在沙滩上——一组属于他,另一组属于上帝。
当最后一组场景将从他面前消逝时,他回头注视足迹,他发现到有许多次沿着路径只有一组足迹。他又注意到这些刚好都发生在他人生最低潮、最悲观的时段。
这点深深困扰着他,他问上帝:
“上帝,你曾说一旦我决定跟随你,你会一路陪着我走下去,但是我注意到在我人生最糟糕的时期,只有一组足迹。不知道为什么,当我最需要你时,你却离弃我?”
上帝回答:“我可爱的孩子,我爱你!而且永远不会离开你。在你蒙受考验与挫折的时候,你只看到一组足迹,那些是我背着你时所留下的。”(青年文摘)
