Chinese Humannism

While soft clounds by warm breezes are wafted in morn,Lured by flowers,past the river i roam on and on.They'll say, look at that old man on a spree.and know not that my spirit's on happiness borne.
云淡风轻近午天,傍花随柳近前川;时人不识余心乐,将谓偷闲学少年

Virture

It is in virtue of his own desires and curiosities that any man continues to exist with even patience, that he is charmed by the look of things and people, and that he wakens every morning with a renewed appetite for work and pleasure. Desire and curiosity are the two eyes through which he sees the world in the most enchanted colours: it is they that make women beautiful or fossils interesting: and the man may squander his estate and come to beggary, but if he keeps these two amulets he is still rich in the possibilities of pleasure.

正是因为希望与好奇,我们才会以加倍的耐心继续生存,才会着迷于纷繁复杂、多姿多彩的人或事,早晨醒来才会以崭新的热情投入新一天的工作和娱乐。希望和好奇是人观看这绚丽迷人的世界的一双眼睛:正是这双眼睛使得女人美丽妩媚,又使顽石妙趣横生 。一个人可以倾家荡产,沦为乞丐,可是只要他还有这两个“护身符”,他就仍然可能拥有无限的欢乐。

Mending Wall

Something there is that doesn't love a wall, 
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, 
And spills the upper boulders in the sun; 
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. 
The work of hunters is another thing: 
I have come after them and made repair 
Where they have left not one stone on a stone, 
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, 
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean, 
No one has seen them made or heard them made, 
But at spring mending-time we find them there. 
I let my neighbour know beyond the hill; 
And on a day we meet to walk the line 
And set the wall between us once again. 
We keep the wall between us as we go. 
To each the boulders that have fallen to each. 
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls 
We have to use a spell to make them balance: "
Stay where you are until our backs are turned!" 
We wear our fingers rough with handling them. 
Oh, just another kind of out-door game, 
One on a side. It comes to little more: 
There where it is we do not need the wall: 
He is all pine and I am apple orchard. 
My apple trees will never get across 
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. 
He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours." 
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder 
If I could put a notion in his head: "
Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it 
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. 
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know 
What I was walling in or walling out, 
And to whom I was like to give offence. 
Something there is that doesn't love a wall, 
That wants it down." I could say "Elves" to him, 
But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather 
He said it for himself. I see him there 
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top 
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed. 
He moves in darkness as it seems to me, 
Not of woods only and the shade of trees. 
He will not go behind his father's saying, 
And he likes having thought of it so well 
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours."

Pleasure of Reading

All the wisdom of the ages,all the stories that delighted mankind for centries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how get the most value from it.The unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books. I am most interested in people, in meeting them and finding out about them.Some of the remarkable people I'v met exited only in writer's imagination, then on the pages of his book, and then again, in my imagination.I have found in books new friend, new society and new words. If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in who as in how. Who in the books inculdes everybody from science-fiction superman two hunreds years in the future all the way back to the first figure in history. How covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes to the discoveries of science and the ways of teaching manners to childers.

Sensible People

The most sensible people to be met with in society are men of business and of the world, who argue from what they see and know, instead of spinning cobweb distinctions of what things ought to be. Women have often more of what is called good sense than men. They have fewer pretensions; are less implicated in theories; and judge of objects more from their immediate and involuntary impression on the mind, and, therefore, more truly and naturally. They cannot reason wrong; for they do not reason at all. They do not think or speak by rule; and they have in general more eloquence and wit as well as sense, on that account. By their wit, sense, and eloquence together, they generally contrive to govern their husbands. Their style, when they write to their friends, is better than that of most authors. - Uneducated people have most exuberance of invention.

在这个社会上,所能碰见的最为贤达的人士乃商人及饱经世事沧桑者。其言谈,其论点全然基于其所见所知,而不会去编织某些迂腐的区分,以设定事物理应如何如何。女士们往往要比男士们更富于所谓的"见识"。她们不那么自命不凡,不那么惯于纠缠于理论,在对事物形成判断时更多地凭藉这些事物在其头脑中所烙下的直接和不自觉的印象,因而会来得更为真实,更为自然。她们绝不犯任何逻辑错误,因为她们从不进行任何的逻辑推理。她们的所思所言决不受制于任何条条框框,正因为如此,总体而言她们不仅更具见识,而且更机智,更能言善辩。凭借其机智、其见识、其如簧巧舌这三件利器,她们大都会图谋主宰她们的丈夫。她们在给朋友写信时,其文笔之雅致与绝大多数作家相比均有过之而无不及。--未受教育者最富于创造

Science and the truth

Science means the exploration of truth. In the process of exploring truth, people will have to experience tremendous hardships and difficulties before they can come to understand the objective laws. It is often the case that the differences in the research perspectives, the materials mastered, and the ways of understanding would lead to totally different results-as we might say, "a mountain becomes a hill when viewed horizontally and a ridge when viewed vertically, and it assumes totally different shapes when viewed from a short or a long distance, or from a high or a low position." - and even lead to academic disputes. Therefore, an accomplished scientist would regard opposing arguments as his most tremendous benefit and take others' criticism of him as the most precious friendship that he can ever obtain. In Gothe's words, "We take for granted what we are in favor of. However, only what we are opposed to can enrich our thoughts." This is all because the approving opinions are not necessarily justified while the opposing arguments are not necessarily unfounded. To put it in the least way, even the opposing arguments that are mistaken will be immensely beneficial to one's own scientific research.
科学就是探求真理。在探求真理的过程中,人们对客观规律的认识要经过艰苦曲折的过程。常常有这样的情形:由于研究的角度不同,掌握资料的差异,认识方法的不同,就会出现"横看成岭侧成峰,远近高低各不同"的情况,以至引起学术上的争论。因此,有作为的科学工作者都把反对的意见看作对自己的莫大的帮助,把对自己的批评当作最珍贵的友谊。正如歌德所说,"我们赞同的东西使我们处之泰然,我们反对的东西才使我们的思想获得丰产。"这都是因为,赞同的意见未必正确,反对的意见未必错误。退一步说,即使错误的反对意见,对自己的科学研究也是很有好处的。

The Winner

The word "winner" and "loser" have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society.
  Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence, and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.
  Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and don't pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them.
  Winners do not play "helpless", nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives.
(参考译文) "胜者"与"败者"这两个字眼含有众多的意思。当我们将某人称作胜者时,我们并非指他是一个致使他人一败涂地的人。对我们来说,胜者乃这样一位君子,他无论是作为一个个人抑或是作为社会的一份子,一切反应均能由衷而发,做到诚信,可靠,乐善好施,且绝不伪善。
  胜者不会穷其毕生之精力,去拘泥于某个他们所想象的为人之道;相反,他们会保持其真我本色,并且,作为这种追求真我的仁者,他们不会耗费精力来装腔作势,维持一种自命不凡的姿态,或去操纵他人。他们深知,在爱戴他人和装作爱戴他人之间,在愚顽不化和大智若愚之间,在学识渊博和佯装学富五车之间,实质上存在着天壤之别。胜者断无必要去藏匿于面具背后。
  胜者无畏于独立的思维和运用其自己的知识。他们能够在事实与舆论之间明辨是非,不会僭称自己无所不晓。他们会倾听他人的见解,对他人所言作出鉴别,而最终所得出的却是其自己的结论。虽然胜者可能会钦佩并敬重他人,但他们不会受制于他人,惧悚于他人,为他人所囿,或被他人所摧垮。
  胜者绝不耍"凄惨无助"之把戏,也决不玩"委过于人" 之游戏。相反,他们会毅然肩负起对自身人生的责任(忍辱负重,无怨亦无悔)。
