  Under the burning sun, an old man sat by the bank staring at the buoy1 on the river. From dawn to dusk he still got nothing in his hands. However, the old man was happy at ease. I felt so puzzled about it.
   The old man said with a smile, “I’m the fish and the fish is me, I’m fishing and I’m also being fished; Like playing chess, the fish and I have such an equal endurance that I have a wonderful time.” At this point, an urchin2 threw a stone into the water. A circle of ripples wafted over. The old man said, “The wind rises.”
   Life is a chess game while beauty is devotion.
  
  烈日下,一老翁坐在岸边,两眼一动不动地盯着河面的浮标,从日出到日落,依然两手空空,老翁却怡然自得,乐在其中。我很是纳闷。
   老翁笑曰:“我即是鱼,鱼即是我,我在钓鱼,鱼也在钓我;就像下棋,我和鱼的耐力旗鼓相当,这才过瘾。”就在此时,一顽童向水中扔一块石头,一阵波纹飘荡过来,老翁曰:“起风了。”
   人生就是一盘棋,美在投入。

我一生大多数时间都是做旅行推销商,所以孤独成了一种职业病。但有一年,我的小女儿珍宁送给了我一副想家的解药。  那是一只玩具企鹅,它有一双乌溜溜的眼睛,打着红色蝴蝶结,长着一双橘黄色的脚———大约有五英寸高。它的左腿上粘着一个小牌子,上面手绘着:“我爱我爸!”我马上在我的梳妆台上给企鹅提供了一席之地。  下一次旅行时,我就将企鹅放进了手提箱。当夜我给家里打电话时,珍宁忐忑不安地说企鹅不见了。“宝贝儿

那是我在纽约一家繁忙的饭馆作服务员的第一天。那天的工作已接近尾声,我的工作帽却不见了,而我的脚也在隐隐作痛。装满食物的盘子在手里似乎越来越重。又累又失望,我感到似乎做什么都不对。当我为一个有几个孩子的家庭填写账单时(那几个孩子一次次地调换冰激凌),我真想走开不管他们了。就在这时,孩子的父亲笑着给了我些小费。“非常好,”他说道,“你把我们照顾得很好。”这时,我突然觉得所有的疲劳都消失了。我也朝他笑了

曾经有人问一个非常成功的商人:“你是怎样在有生之年取得这样的成就的呢?”   他回答:“我做梦。我放飞自己的思想,想像自己想要的东西。然后我就上床,思考自己的梦想。那个晚上,我就可以梦到自己的梦想。当第二天早上醒来,我就看到了通向梦想的路。每次别人都说,‘你做不到的,这不可能’,而我总是坚持实现自己梦想的路。”正如美国第28任总统伍德罗·威尔逊所说:“我们因为梦想而变得伟大。所有伟人都是梦想家。”
