無名氏碑文
惟雯說故事
在倫敦聞名世界的威斯敏斯特大教堂地下室的墓碑林中,有一塊簡單的無名氏碑文,卻能改變你的三觀。
這一塊很普通的墓碑,只是粗糙的花崗石質地,造型也很一般,同周圍那些質地上乘、做工優良的亨利三世到喬治二世等20多位英國前國王墓碑,以及牛頓、達爾文、狄更斯等名人的墓碑比較起來,它顯得微不足道。而且它沒有姓名,沒有生卒年月,甚至上面連墓主的介紹文字也沒有。但是,就是這樣一塊無名氏墓碑,卻成為名揚全球的著名墓碑。
每一個到過威斯特敏斯特大教堂的人,他們可以不去拜謁那些曾經顯赫一世的英國前國王們,可以不去拜謁那諸如狄更斯、達爾文等世界名人們,但他們卻沒有人不來拜謁這一塊普通的墓碑,因為他們都被這塊墓碑深深地震撼著,準確地說,他們被這塊墓碑上的碑文深深地震撼著。
在這塊墓碑上,刻著這樣的一段話:
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,I dreamed of changing theworld.
As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable.
As I grewinto my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
And now, as Ilie on my death bed, I suddenly realize:
If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.From their in spiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country,and who knows, I may have even changed the world.
譯文:
當我年輕的時候,我的想像力豐富,我夢想改變這個世界。
當我成熟以後,我發現我不能改變這個世界,我將目光縮短了些,決定只改變我的國家。
當我進入暮年後,我發現我不能改變我的國家,我的最後願望僅僅是改變一下我的家庭。但是,連這也沒達成。
當我行將就木時,我躺在床上,突然意識到:如果一開始我僅僅去改變我自己,然後作為一個榜樣,我可能改變我的家庭;在家人的幫助和鼓勵下,我可能為國家做一些事情。然後誰知道呢?我甚至可能改變這個世界。
許多世界政要和名人看到這塊碑文時都感慨不已。有人說這是一篇人生的教義,有人說這是靈魂的一種自省。
當年輕的曼德拉看到這篇碑文時,頓然有醍醐灌頂之感,聲稱自己從中找到了改變南非甚至整個世界的金鑰匙。
回到南非後,這個志向遠大、原本贊同以暴治暴填平種族歧視鴻溝的黑人青年,一下子改變的自己的思想和處世風格,他從改變自己、改變自己的家庭和親朋好友著手,經歷了幾十年,終於改變了他的國家。
人永遠懷著一顆善良的心,持續做對的事。
時刻提醒自己,改變自己,低調做人。
1.想像你自己面對困難時所作出的反應,不是逃避或繞開它們,而是面對它們,以一種進取和明智的方式奮鬥向前。沒有所謂的最佳時機,人生裡所謂的絕佳機會,並無關你準備得多好,而是取決於你是否有勇氣做出改變。
2.不隨意發脾氣,誰都不欠你的,這個世界沒有“應該”二字。明白自己渺小,切忌自我陶醉,其實您並沒有想像中的強,即使沒有你,太陽照常升起!不抱怨這個世界的話,這才是一種正確的人生態度。
3.學會放下,拽的越緊,越是無法自拔。學會感恩、隨順的同時,也要堅持自己最基本的因果原則。學會寬恕傷害自己的人,因為他們也很可憐,被壓力推動,不由自主。
