  话说旅行

  威廉?哈兹里特

  世界上最令人愉快的事情之一就是旅行,不过我喜欢一个人的旅行。在室内,我能享受与人共处的乐趣,而在室外,有自然为伴足矣。在那时,我就不会孤独。

  “大地为书房,自然为书本。”

  我不能了解行走与谈论同步的乐趣。当我身在乡村时,我希望简单纯粹地生活,就像村民们一样。我不会为了评论灌木篱墙和黑色的牲畜而来到这里。我走出城镇,是为了忘记城镇和城镇中的一切。有些人,他们出于这个动机来到海滨,可是他们也带着城市来了。我喜欢多一些自由的空间,少一些阻碍物。我喜欢孤独,当放松自己沉浸其中时,我无欲无求,只希望享受孤独。

  “我独处时的朋友,我可能在你耳边低语:孤独是甜美的。”

  旅行的灵魂就是自由,完美的自由,可以随心所欲地去想、去感受、去做。旅游的目的,主要就是摆脱所有的障碍和不便,释放自我,更忘记他人。这是因为,我想有不大的自由空间,来思考不同的事情。

  “祝愿有美丽的羽毛,结实她的翅膀,

  在各处拥挤的胜地,

  我们的羽翼都太褶皱,有时也会脱落。”

  我暂时离开城镇,在我孤独的时候,并未感觉迷失了自己。马车上没有熟识的朋友可以互换好的东西,不断地与我念叨往事,因为我曾与无礼写下休止协定。给我头顶清澈的蓝天,让我脚踏碧绿的草地,在我面前有一条曲折的小路,让我用三个小时去享受一个宴会——还可以进行思考!在这片石南树丛里,不放纵一下自己实在很难。我笑,我跑,我跳,我歌唱快乐!

  心灵小语

  钢筋水泥的森林怎及青枝绿叶让人心醉?喧闹烦乱的都市又怎比田野山间叫人神往?独自一人出游吧!忘却所有烦恼,忘却自我,投入大自然的怀抱,去享受一份难得的安宁和自由。

  成长

  佚名

  一粒微小的玫瑰花子被植入土壤时,我们并不因它“无根无茎”而加以批评。我们把它当做一粒种子来对待,施予它所需的水分和养料。

  当它刚刚破土而出时,我们不因它幼稚、发育不良而诋毁它;当出现花蕾时,我们也不因它们不绽放而责备它。在它成长的不同阶段,给予它所需的照顾。我们会惊喜地目睹整个过程。

  玫瑰,从一粒种子开始,到凋零,直至死亡,始终是玫瑰。在它生命的每时每刻,体内都蕴藏着巨大的潜能。它似乎总在不断地变化,但是在任何阶段,任何时刻,都是最真实、最完美的。

  一朵花,在每一阶段都是相同的,无论是尽情绽放的花朵还是含苞欲放的花骨朵,都是这朵花——一朵时刻展现自己潜能的花。

  心灵小语

  从一粒微小的种子成长为一朵艳丽的花,它的每一次变化,都是最真实、最完美的。

  关于成就和梦想

  佚名

  有时,强烈的渴望不仅会给你创造机会,还会激发你的才智。

  我们逃避时,总感到获得了自由——即使是从一个糟糕的环境换到另一个更糟糕的环境。

  如果生活在一起的人们无法相互理解,社会就不会存在。

  预测未来的唯一方法是,用自己的力量开创未来。

  不论我们有怎样的成就,真正为自己骄傲的时刻却很少。我们能看到自己的缺点和错误,但仍需要别人给我们作出评判;我们需要得到别人的肯定——我们并没有想象的那么糟糕。

  通过观察对手恐吓你的手段,你可以发现他最害怕什么。

  领导者必须是务实家和现实主义者,但他发表演说则必须像个空想家和理想主义者。

  时代发生巨变时,只有学习者才能继承未来,他们通常会发现自己全副武装地生活在前所未有的世界。

  我们并不会真正感激那些使我们梦想成真的人,因为是他们打碎了我们的美梦。

  我们需要有自己的梦想。

  成功的钥匙

  佚名

  一个人最重要的品质是:信心。在人生每一个领域,它都具有无法估量的价值。特别是在商业或任何伟大的成就当中,它显得更为重要。不幸的是,这个重要的技能却让我们几乎无处可学。但是,它既然是一项技能,只要方法得当,+就能培养起来。

  知识是获取信心的第一种工具。认知自身的强项和弱项,认知你想有所成就的领域。但是,只有知识还不够,知识只有通过实践证明以后,才能带来自信。我们把所想的或者所信仰的理论,放到真正的实际中去证实,从经验中收集数据或者反馈信息。如果反馈的信息是积极的,我们的理论就是正确的,从而采取相应的行动;如果反馈信息是消极的,我们当中勇敢的人会改变局势,而更多的怯懦者通常会被这些消极的反馈阻挠,停止了前进的脚步。

  信心通过了解、理解和正确运用下面这些原则和因素,通常可以获得。

  (1)知识+经验+积极反馈=自信。

  (2)成功的结果带来积极的反馈。

  (3)成功的结果源自不懈的努力和反复的尝试。

  (4)唯有相信自己终会成功,才能不断尝试。+

  这个原则似乎表明,我们必须相信自己有能力成功,才有可能经历某些成功。确实如此。信心原则中的知识部分就源于此,也是原则中第一个等式成立的原因。在没有任何尝试就相信我们会成功前,我们必须拥有一些知识,如成功需要什么,要有怎样的优势和能力的综合作用,也必须了解“失败”的真相。

  尝试了,却没能如愿达到目标的结果,不是失败。只有当我们承认达不到,并放弃尝试时,才会出现失败。事实上,只有两种方式会导致失败。(1)在达到真正想要的目标前,你放弃了;(2)继续在错误的道路上前进,因为,你最初作出的选择是错误的,但你仍执拗地坚持。

  举个例子,假设你开车去见一个朋友,但地点不熟悉。你走错了方向,迷路了。

  在第一个失败的原则中,你发现自己迷失了方向,并试图改正路线。但是,你偏离得太远,因而不能一次性地改正,回归正轨。所以,你要一次又一次地改正。三四次以后,你确信永远无法找到自己的路,于是,你放弃了,停下了车,你的目的地将永远无法到达。+++

  在第二个失败原则中,尽管你走错了方向,但你必须坚持。因为作出一个新选择意味着,你作出的最初选择让你迷失了方向,你失败了。所以,你坚持在错误的道路上,尽管知道它是错误的、错得有多严重,仍然拒绝改变。++

  上文中提到的这两种假设听起来很荒谬,但是,在达到目标前就放弃或离开,或者坚持在已经发现的错误上的人,在这个世界上还有很多。

  你必须愿意改变你的路线,并且坚持改变,一次又一次地根据需要进行调整,去接近你的目标,才能确保成功。你是否能达到目标,取决于你认为自己最终能成功的信念。这就又给我们带来了信心原则。+

  你对自己和自身能力的了解,以及懂得如何使它们产生更大的效用,会产生一种信念让你坚持不懈地去尝试。在当今这个匆忙的世界,有时,我们忽略了认真去审视自己最有价值的资产——自身。只有自知和自我了解,能让我们相信,自己拥有找到正确的解决方法和达到目的的能力。

  不了解自己的人容易走弯路,他们的个人范畴模糊,精力没有集中。深入而准确的自我评估,可以为我们实现目标导航。没有核心力量和明确的个人界限的引导,我们决不可能成功,因为我们的目标是什么,或者应该怎么样,连自己都不清楚。

  了解并尊重自己本质的人,才会开心快乐、精力集中、目标明确。他们用基本的工具尝试新事物,树立新目标,并持之以恒地去追求。这些人才会获得成功。他们成功是因为每一个目标的达到,增强了他们对自己有能力成功的信心,使他们更努力地去尝试更多。充分的自信会产生好的结果,有充分的自信,就一定能获得成功。

  生活本身就是一种礼物

  如今,在你出言不逊前,

  想想那些身患哑疾的人吧。

  在抱怨食物不够美味前,

  想想那些还在忍饥挨饿的人吧。

  在抱怨婚姻对象不尽人意时,

  想想那些还在为找不着对象而愁苦的人吧。

  在为生活的种种深感郁闷前,

  想想那些已早早离开人世的人吧。

  在为孩子不听话而气恼前,

  想想那些不能生育而渴求孩子的人吧。

  在为房子没人清洁打理而发牢骚前,

  想想那些无家可归的人吧。

  在抱怨行车旅途太长前,

  想想那些要走相同距离的徒步者吧。

  在你感到疲惫,厌烦工作前,

  想想那些下岗工人和残疾人以及渴望有你这样一份工作的人吧。

  在指责他人时,

  想想吧,人都不是完美的,我们都对上帝尽责。

  当消极思维让你深感沮丧时,

  微笑吧,并感谢上帝赐予你生命。

  生活是一份礼物,

  享受它…

  庆祝它…

  实现它。

  当你要向某人表达爱意,

  用你的言行去爱吧,

  爱并非深藏于心底,

  表达出来吧,“现在就去爱!”

  心灵小语

  人们都在为生活忙碌着,很多人都认为生活很艰难,甚至不愿生活在这个世上。难道生活真的那么恐怖吗?其实还在于人们对它的看法。不管你的生活多么卑微,勇敢地面对,不可逃避,不可报以恶言,用微笑来面对它。

  做你自己

  佚名

  在我认识的人中,我所拥有的婚姻绝对是最美好的。

  我怎么知道的?其实我不知道,只是感觉。++++++

  我的妻子、房子、汽车、身体、孩子、工作、教堂和祖国都让我感到很开心,很幸福。

  他们当然都有缺点,都有令人遗憾的地方,但他们是独一无二的,我很幸福。

  记得一个小男孩曾说过这样一句话:“幸福不是追求你想要的,而是珍惜你现在所拥有的。”真理,绝对是真理。+

  社会不会适应我们现在所拥有的东西。要不然,我们就不会去买那些更为先进的新版和改良过的东西。我们有了一种感觉,为了让自己开心,我们总需要一些不同的、更好的东西。

  世上还有比我妻子更出色的女子吗?或许有。就算我拥有了那个更出色的,那比她更好的还有吗?或许还有。+

  更好,更别致,更强大,更奢侈的物品总是会有的。即使现在没有,那将来也会有。

  为了应对现有程序的混乱,电脑程序总需要升级,但升级也往往会导致新的混乱。

  虽然现在的我们已经很不错了,但我们还常常想做不一样的自己。因此我们不断尝试着更好、更新鲜的东西。如果你连做自己都不开心,那你还能做谁呢?++++++

  做自己我很开心,我不想,也没有能力跟任何一个人交换这个位置。我继续努力着改善自己,带着生活的坎坷,带着一生的差错。我很快乐。++

  世上富有的人很多,但因富有而幸福的人却不多。这就是关键。你对你所拥有的感到快乐吗?+++++

  你对自己感到满意吗?你就是你,这是永远不能改变的。古语说:“做你自己,不要做别人,当你做的不是自己时,你就不再是你自己了。”

  清理你的精神空间

  佚名

  回想一下你上一次产生的消极情绪,如压抑、气愤或受挫。当你身处那种消极的情绪中时,你的头脑中在想什么?是混乱如麻吗?还是瘫痪了,不能再进行思考?

  下一次,当你发现自己非常压抑,或极其愤怒、万分沮丧时,尽管停止。对!就是停止。无论你现在正做着什么,停止手头的工作,静坐一会儿。静坐的同时,把自己完全沉浸在消极的情绪之中。

  让那种情绪完全地将你吞噬,让自己有一点儿时间真实地去感受那种情绪。在这里,不要自己欺骗自己。用整整的一分钟——仅仅一分钟——不去做其他任何事情,只去感受那种情绪。

  当整整一分钟过去,问问你自己:“在今天剩余的时间里,我愿意继续这种消极的情绪吗?”

  只要你彻底地将自己沉入这种情绪,并真实地去体会它,你就会意外地发现那种情绪很快就消失了。

  如果你觉得有必要再将这种情绪继续一段时间,那好,没关系,再给自己一分钟,去体会它。

  当你觉得自己体会得很透彻了,那就问问自己是否愿意让这种消极继续在你剩余的时间里存在。如果不,那就深呼吸一次,让所有的消极随着你的呼吸释放出去。

  这种方法看似简单——几乎是过分简单了,但是其效果却很显著。通过给自己真正体会消极情绪的空间,你能够真正地去与这种情绪接触,而不是去压抑它、回避它。给这种情绪一定的空间,给它必要的关注,这样真正使你消解其势力。当你在这种情绪中沉浸时,就会明白它只是一种情感,就会不再受其影响。然后,你就可以清理自己的头脑,继续自己的工作了。

  试试这种方法。下一次当你处于消极的情绪之中时,让自己有体会这种情绪的一点儿空间,然后看看接下来会发生什么。随身带着一张写着下面这些话的纸:

  停止。让自己在这种情绪中沉浸一分钟。我想要这种情绪继续下去吗?深呼吸,放松,继续行动!

  这张纸会提醒你要做的步骤。需要牢记的是,用必要的时间真正将自己沉浸于那种情绪之中。然后,当你认为自己充分体会情绪时,就将其释放——让它真正地从你的心中消失。你一定会惊讶于摆脱消极情绪和着手工作之迅速。

  腾些时间做你想做的事

  佚名

  两年前,圣路易斯的雪莉?米歇尔斯发现,为了满足日常的生活需求,自己起床的时间越来越早,上床睡觉的时间也越来越晚。她履行着一个做妻子、母亲、眼科技师的责任,可是总也没有时间做她最重要的事情。

  她的丈夫维克是一名律师。他们开始寻找各种简化生活的方法。“我们需要确定什么才是真正重要的。”雪莉说。他们明白,多一些时间与三岁的儿子瑞安一起玩耍、作运动、让他吃好、培养他们之间的感情,是他们共同的心愿。

  于是,他们选择更适度地节俭生活,只买必需的用品,享受诸如阅读、烹饪、去公园等低消费的娱乐。雪莉辞掉了工作,开始做兼职。她印制了这样的名片:为您服务——节省您的时间。她受雇做一些私人的工作,如为他人购物、付款、组织聚会、作因特网调查等——所有顾客需要的事情。

  “尽管我工作还是辛苦,可是我能够控制自己的时间,来使一切都变得不同。”她说,“我能抽出时间带儿子去动物园,或者和他一起打篮球。压力引发的头痛也好了,也有了解邻居的机会。这不仅带给我喜悦,也使我们的生活进一步简单化。”

  根据趋势观察者所说,米歇尔斯一家不单单是想放慢生活的节奏,他们还想要过一种更舒服的生活。盖洛普民意测验发现,声称没有足够的时间做想做的事的美国人占50%,表示和孩子在一起的时间太少的家长达54%,抱怨没有时间相聚的已婚夫妇达47%。

  时间都花到哪里了?对于大多数人来说,工作和乘公交车占据了大部分的时间。根据劳动局的统计数字,我们每5个人当中,就有一人每周花49个小时在工作上;每12个人中,就有一人每周工作60个小时或更多。

  那么,这里有丰富的瑞典自助餐式的现代生活——如此多的可筛选的信息,那么多令人心动的产品。“在试图拥有一切的过程中,我们正透支自己的精力。”《过一种简单的生活》的作者伊莱恩?圣?詹姆斯如是说。

  生活的简单化,意味着注重生活的细节,关注花钱、时间和精力的方式,然后,找出控制浪费的方法。这里有一些专家关于控制生活中的冲突的建议,有使你有享受欢乐的时间。

  心灵小语

  正如加德纳所说:“对聪明人来说,每一天的时间都是要精打细算的。”这就是说我们要注重生活细节,分配好金钱、时间和精力,不要浪费一丝一毫。

  做个尝新高手

  佚名

  生活不是一场时装秀,尝试一些有趣的事情,可以让你感受到不同的生活乐趣。

  我是一个私人教练,指导需要转型的人。我认为生活就是一次大实验。试问你自己几个问题:

  今天你能做些什么事情来使自己未来的生活更快乐?

  你想改善生活的哪一个方面?

  告诉我你生活中冒险的一面。

  你梦想要做的事需要得到别人的允许吗?

  当你小的时候,你会尝试生命中出现的许多新情况(独自学走路、骑车、爬树、乘地铁等)。由于你不断增长的阅历逐渐成为一种习惯,形成了你现在的生存准则。然而,这些准则还适用吗?是否需要提升到新的、更适合现在需求的水平呢?这些需要尝试来实现。

  尝试不一定非要冒险,它只要你亲身体验一些新的、自己梦寐以求的事情,或是检验你的某个想法。这个尝试可能是你的一个秘密,只有你知道它的结果。随着这些结果不断产生,你可以接受改变,也可以重新考虑你的下一步。谨记:作为一个高超的尝试者,没有失误可言,只存在有或没有实现的可能性的尝试。

  他大口的呼吸起新鲜的空气,胸口一颤一颤。

  迷茫、不解,各种情绪涌上心头。

  这是哪?

  随后,时宇下意识观察四周,然后更茫然了。

  一个单人宿舍?

  就算他成功得到救援,现在也应该在病房才对。

  还有自己的身体……怎么会一点伤也没有。

  带着疑惑,时宇的视线快速从房间扫过,最终目光停留在了床头的一面镜子上。

  镜子照出他现在的模样,大约十七八岁的年龄,外貌很帅。

  可问题是,这不是他!下载星星阅读app,阅读最新章节内容无广告免费

  之前的自己,是一位二十多岁气宇不凡的帅气青年,工作有段时间了。

  而现在,这相貌怎么看都只是高中生的年纪……

  这个变化,让时宇发愣很久。

  千万别告诉他,手术很成功……

  身体、面貌都变了,这根本不是手术不手术的问题了,而是仙术。

  他竟完全变成了另外一个人!

  难道……是自己穿越了?

  除了床头那摆放位置明显风水不好的镜子,时宇还在旁边发现了三本书。

  时宇拿起一看,书名瞬间让他沉默。

  《新手饲养员必备育兽手册》

  《宠兽产后的护理》

  《异种族兽耳娘评鉴指南》

  时宇:???

  前两本书的名字还算正常,最后一本你是怎么回事?

  “咳。”

  时宇目光一肃,伸出手来,不过很快手臂一僵。

  就在他想翻开第三本书,看看这究竟是个什么东西时,他的大脑猛地一阵刺痛,大量的记忆如潮水般涌现。
