“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.” Swami Vivekananda
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Steve Jobs
“The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.” Winston Churchill
A passage.

小时候,我读海明威的《老人与海》,里面说“英雄可以毁灭,但是不能被击败”。当时只觉得那是一句很有哲理的话,却不太了解其中的意思。

后来我又读哲学家尼采的作品,其中有一句名言:“受苦的人,没有悲观的权利。”我也不太懂,心想,已经受苦了,为什么连悲观的权利也要被剥夺呢?

直道自己经历了无数次的奋斗,间中不断地跌倒,不断地爬起来,我才渐渐领悟出那两句话的道理。

据说要穿过沙漠,唯一可能的办法,是等待夜晚。你必须以最快的速度走到有遮荫的下一站,中途不论多么疲劳,也不能倒下;否则,当白天来到,烈日当空,就只有死路一条。

在冰天雪地中历险的人也都知道,凡是有人在途中说“我走不下去了,让我躺下来休息一会儿吧”,他必然很快就会死亡。因为当他不再走,不再动的时候,体温会迅速降低,跟着就被冻死。

有一位上过战场的军人,曾说过一段我永远不会忘记的话:“当你的左眼被打到时,右眼还得睁得大大的,才能看清敌人,也才能有机会还手。如果右眼同时闭上,那么,不但右眼也要挨拳,只怕命都难保!”

可不是吗?在人生的战场上,我们不但要有跌倒之后再爬起来的毅力,以及拾起武器再战斗的勇气,从被击败的一刻起,就要做好下一波奋斗的准备,绝对不允许悲观,也不能让自己倒下。那么,我们就不是彻底输,只是暂时“没有赢”罢了!
