谱写生命的乐章
佚名
  设想,如果有人给了你一支单色的不可拆装的钢笔。你根本看不到里面究竟有多少墨水。也许你试着写几个字后它就没水了,也许里面的墨水足够完成一部(也可能是几部)意义深远的传世之作。但这一切在动笔前,都不得而知。
  这样的游戏规则,其结果你的确很难预料。只能赌一把!
  实际上,游戏规则并未规定你一定要做点儿什么,反之,你甚至完全可以把它放到书架上或抽屉里,不去动它,任由墨水自然干枯。
  可是,倘若你打算用它,你会将其派上什么用场呢?你将如何开展这一游戏呢?
  你会在写一个字之前,不断犹豫,反复计划吗?你会因为计划过于周详而没时间动笔吗?
  或许你只是手握钢笔,埋头苦写,笔耕不辍,顺着泉涌的文思被动前行呢?
  你写字时会很小心,似乎这支笔的墨水下一刻就会枯竭一样吗?或是你会假装相信这支笔永无枯竭之时呢?
  那么你会写些什么呢:情爱?憎恶?喜悦?痛苦?生命?死亡?虚无?抑或是一切?
  你的写作目的是充实自己,还是愉悦他人呢?或是两者兼而有之?
  你落笔胆怯审慎,还是铿锵有力?你的想象力是丰富还是匮乏?
  也许你根本没有落笔,因为没有规则要求你拿到笔后必须要去写作。或许你会去素描?乱画一通?信笔涂鸦?
  你会写在线内还是线上,或许你根本看不到线,即使有又在哪里呢?那些是吗?
  就此有许多该考虑的问题,难道不是吗?
  此刻,如果有人给你一支谱写生命乐章之笔……
  Write Your Own Life
  Anonymous
  Suppose someone gave you a pen—a sealed; solid…colored pen。 You couldn’t see how much ink it had。 It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece(or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things。 You don’t know before you begin。
  Under the rules of the game; you really never know。 You have to take a chance!
  Actually; no rule of the game states you must do anything。 Instead of picking up and using the pen; you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up; unused。
  But if you do decide to use it; what would you do with it? How would you play the game?
  Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?
  Or would you take the pen in hand; plunge right in and just do it; struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you?
  Would you write cautiously and carefully; as if the pen might run dry the next moment; or would you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly?
  And of what would you write: Of love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life? Death? Nothing? Everything?
  Would you write to please just yourself? Or others? Or yourself by writing for others?
  Would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold? Fancy with a flourish or plain?
  Would you even write? Once you have the pen; no rule says you have to write。 Would you sketch? Scribble? Doodle draw?
  Would you stay in or on the lines; or see no lines at all; even if they were there? Or are they?
  There’s a lot to think about here; isn’t there?
  Now; suppose someone gave you a life…

我相信
佚名
  对我来说,从哈佛毕业后的25年里,我懂得了坚信希望而不陷入绝望,努力奋斗而不听天由命,坚定信念而不愤世嫉俗。
  我相信知识的力量会使世界更美好。愤世嫉俗者可能说:人类从未在历史中学到什么,知识的真正作用只是使人类优于其他物种。但是他们错了:我们能够从错误中吸取教训,并超越过去。在哈佛,我们学会了这个事实——真理能让我们自由。
  我相信履行家庭义务是我们的职责,因为有意义的生活的真正核心是家。愤世嫉俗者可能说:所有的家庭都很狭隘且毫无价值。家庭观念已经过时,无法运转。但是他们错了:让我们学会爱的正是家庭。
  我相信通过努力,可以实现社会公正和全民自由。愤世嫉俗者可能要嘲笑这种想法太幼稚,他们声称:努力追求机会均等、公平公正、自由自在,只会创构一个绝望的荒原。但是他们错了:自由是我们的命运,公正是我们的向导,我们将所向无敌。
  我相信,保护地球环境,可以抵制前所未有的冲击。愤世嫉俗者可能嘲笑道:一片古树林,一阵清风,或者一条山涧,都毫无价值。但是他们错了:人类无法独立生存,我们是世界的一部分。
  我相信你,相信这里的每个人,也相信这个群体。愤世嫉俗者说,你们的内心受贪欲驱使,最终,你们只会在乎自己,而毫不顾及他物。但是他们错了:我们彼此关心,珍爱自由,崇尚公正,追求真理。
  最终,一个重要的抉择摆在我们面前:愤世嫉俗还是坚定信念。它们都能扎根在我们的心灵深处,像能自我实现的预言一样,它们会塑造我们的生活。我相信,我们一定会相互敞开心扉,在无限可能的基础上,创造一切可能。这是一个自信民族的任务,也是贯穿我们整个历史,至今仍深植在我们内心深处的品格。
  我相信我们的未来!
