電視臺相親節(jié)目火，最近多次看到相親的男青年宣稱：雖然我無房無車無存款，甚至沒有穩(wěn)定工作，但一定會頑強打拼，通過自己的努力，成為全球500強……我不說大家也想象得到，“全球500強”對一名普通青年來說，意味著怎樣艱難漫長的道路。而這邊到了年齡想嫁人的女孩可等不及，她們并不笨，不是隨便畫個“500強”的大餅就能騙上手的。
成都創(chuàng)新互聯(lián)公司專注于企業(yè)成都營銷網(wǎng)站建設(shè)、網(wǎng)站重做改版、和平網(wǎng)站定制設(shè)計、自適應(yīng)品牌網(wǎng)站建設(shè)、html5、商城網(wǎng)站定制開發(fā)、集團(tuán)公司官網(wǎng)建設(shè)、外貿(mào)營銷網(wǎng)站建設(shè)、高端網(wǎng)站制作、響應(yīng)式網(wǎng)頁設(shè)計等建站業(yè)務(wù)，價格優(yōu)惠性價比高，為和平等各大城市提供網(wǎng)站開發(fā)制作服務(wù)。
青年有志當(dāng)然很好，他們希望獲得聲名與財富也無可厚非，但人人都想當(dāng)老板和企業(yè)巨頭，對社會來說未必是好事。作為一種勵志觀，“成功論”的危害可能有限，而它作為一種評價觀念出現(xiàn)在青年成長過程中時，有可能直接影響其價值觀，讓他們在不知不覺中自大或自卑，其危害將極為深遠(yuǎn)。一個社會，人人都應(yīng)有各自的合理追求，同時靠誠實勞動辛勤工作去實現(xiàn)，這對人來說是幸福的，對社會來說應(yīng)該是和諧的；倘若人人都要“500強”這種成功，那恐怕不是什么好的兆頭。
可惜的是，如今的社會文化不斷地給青年灌輸“500強”式的“成功”意識，總有人要把“成功”列為唯一評價標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，用一個個“成功”故事激勵青年。比如，說成功人士某甲創(chuàng)業(yè)艱難，如何遇上了不景氣，生意一落千丈，流落街頭，擺過地攤，但“功夫不負(fù)有心人”，終于東山再起，現(xiàn)在產(chǎn)業(yè)年產(chǎn)值多少多少個億。又有成功人士某乙，十幾年不看電影電視，沒有任何娛樂活動，現(xiàn)在有了三個公司八個專利，受到什么級別的表彰，被誰誰誰接見。還有某丙，每天啃干面包，喝涼水，終于獲得博士學(xué)位，被選為區(qū)政協(xié)委員。還有某丁，三十多歲當(dāng)了副縣長，前途無量……度長絜大，一把尺子，只量名和利。
一名勞動者能恪守本分，通過勞動養(yǎng)活自己，維持一家人的生活，做一個“普通人”，這怎么就算“不成功”呢？是不是一定要自己開家公司當(dāng)老板，“手下有幾百號人”，或是“在全國幾十個城市有分店”，每年上繳利稅多少多少萬元？一個人為了生存，為了自己喜歡的事，走一條自己選擇的路，他達(dá)到了目的，或他沒能達(dá)到目的，無論如何，這是他個人的經(jīng)歷，只要能愉快地度過每一天，為什么非要添一條“成功”的蛇足呢？
每看到青年構(gòu)想不切實際的人生藍(lán)圖，都很擔(dān)心他將被那個所謂的“成功”束縛，而放棄他本當(dāng)真正享有的幸福和愉悅。
Act at Once 立即行動
My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.
Never has there been a map, however carefully executed to detail and scale, which carried its owner over even one inch of ground. Never has there been a parchment of law, however fair, which prevented one crime. Action alone, is the tinder which ignites the map the parchment, my dreams, my plans, my goals, into a living force. Action is the food and drink which will nourish my success.
My procrastination which has held me back was born of fear and now I recognize this secret mined from the depths of all courageous hearts. Now I know that to conquer fear I must always act without hesitation and the flutters in my heart will vanish. Now I know that action reduces the lion of terror to an ant of equanimity.
Henceforth, I will remember the lesson of firefly who gives off its light only when it is on the wing, only when it is in action. I will become a firefly and even in the day my glow will be seen in spite of the sun. Let others be as butterflies who preen theirs yet depend on the charity of a flower for life. I will be as the firefly and my light will brighten the world.
I will not avoid the tasks of today and charge them to tomorrow for I know that tomorrow never comes. Let me act now even through my actions may not bring happiness or success for it is better to act and fail than not to be act and flounder. Happiness, in truth, may not be the fruit plucked by my action yet without action all fruit will die on the vine.
I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words again and again, each hour, each day, until the words become as much as a habit as my breathing and the actions which follow become as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every act necessary for my success. With these words I can condition my mind to meet every challenge which the failure avoids.
I will repeat these words, again and again and again. When I awake I will say them and leap from my cot while the failure sleeps yet another hour.
For now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when then evil become good. I am not evil. Tomorrow is the day when the weak become strong. I am not weak. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure.
When the lion is hungry he eats. When the eagle has thirst he drinks. Lest they act, both will perish. I hunger for success. I thirst for happiness and peace of mind. Lest I act I will perish in a life of failure, misery, and sleepless night.
Success will not wait. If I delay she will become betrothed to anther and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the man.
我的夢想毫無價值，我的計劃渺如塵土，我的目標(biāo)無法達(dá)到。一切的一切都毫無意義——除非我們付諸行動。
一張地圖，不論標(biāo)注多么詳盡，比例多么精確，它也決不能帶著它的主人在地面上移動半步。一部法律，不論多么公正，也決不能制止哪怕一宗罪惡。惟有行動才能使地圖、法律以及我的夢想、計劃和目標(biāo)具有現(xiàn)實意義。行動，就像食物和水一樣，為我們的成功提供滋養(yǎng)。
拖延使我裹足不前，它生于恐懼，現(xiàn)在我從所有勇敢的心靈深處，挖掘出并領(lǐng)悟到這一秘密。我知道，想克服恐懼，必須毫不猶豫，雷厲風(fēng)行，唯有如此，心中的慌亂方能得以平定?，F(xiàn)在我知道，行動可將猛獅般的恐懼，減緩為螞蟻般的平靜。
從此我要記住螢火蟲的啟示：只有振翅而飛的時候，只有在行動中，才能發(fā)出光芒。我要成為一只螢火蟲，即使艷陽高照，也無法掩蓋我的光芒。讓別人像蝴蝶一樣吧，精心裝扮雙翅，卻靠花朵的施舍生活；我要做螢火蟲，我的光芒照亮整個世界。
我不會把今天的事情留給明天，因為我知道明天永遠(yuǎn)不會來。讓我現(xiàn)在就行動吧！即便我的行動不會帶來幸?；虺晒?，但是行動而失敗總比坐以待斃好。坦白講，我的行動也許不會采摘到幸福的果實，但沒有行動，就算有果實也都爛在藤上。
立即行動，從今往后，我要一遍又一遍，每時每刻重復(fù)這句話，知道這幾個字成為習(xí)慣，好比呼吸一般；直到隨后的行動成為本能，好比眨眼一樣。有了這句話，我就能調(diào)節(jié)心態(tài)，做出成功所需的每一分努力。有了這句話，我就能調(diào)節(jié)心態(tài)，迎接失敗者避而遠(yuǎn)之的每一次挑戰(zhàn)。
我將一遍一遍地重復(fù)這句話，清晨醒來時，失敗者流連于床榻，我卻要默誦這句話，一躍而起。
現(xiàn)在是我的所有。明日是懶漢為自己留的工作日，而我并不懶惰；明日是棄惡從善的日子，而我并不邪惡；明日是弱者變強者的日子，我并不軟弱；明日是失敗者成功的日子，而我并非失敗者。
獅饑而食，鷹渴即飲，除非行動，否則它們死路一條。我因成功而饑，我為幸福安心而渴，除非行動，否則我將在失敗、悲慘、夜不成寐的日子中了結(jié)此生。
成功不等人。如果我遲疑，她就會投入別人的懷抱，永遠(yuǎn)棄我而去。此時便是良辰，此時便可為洞房，我便是“成功”的新郎。
跳蚤人生
失敗常常不是因為我們不具備這樣的實力，而是在心理上默認(rèn)了一個“不可跨越”的高度限制。
六年前，一位朋友南下求職，根據(jù)她的專長和才華，負(fù)責(zé)一個部門運行不成問題。
我給一家電信公司的.余總工程師寫了一封推薦信，然后讓朋友約定時間面試。沒想到她卻說自己從來沒有在這樣大的電信公司做過主管，恐怕面試無法通過，或者做不好工作，影響朋友的面子，只好“退而求其次”。
她先給幾家用人單位寄去簡歷，足足等了半個月，結(jié)果石沉大海無消息；接著，她又去找區(qū)級人才市場或者職業(yè)介紹所，見了幾家用人單位，結(jié)果是“高不成而低不就”。最后，她打電話給電信公司余總工程師，總工辦秘書接過電話問道：“請問您找哪一位？”她回答說：“請找余總?！泵貢f：“對不起，余總正在開會，可以請您留下口信嗎？”她又不好意思留口信。
一周后，我給她講了一個“跳蚤的故事”：有人做過這樣一個實驗：把一只跳蚤放進(jìn)玻璃杯，發(fā)現(xiàn)跳蚤跳的高度一般可達(dá)到它身體的400倍，如果再增加一些高度，跳蚤就跳不出來了。但是當(dāng)你把一盞酒精燈拿到杯底，跳蚤熱得受不了的時候，它就會“嘣”地一下，跳了出去。正如兵法上所說“置之死地而后生”。
朋友很快領(lǐng)悟，第二天一上班，她就給余總打電話，又是秘書接的電話，但她直呼余總的名字，秘書不敢怠慢，很快接通電話……
現(xiàn)在我這位朋友早已成為該公司的設(shè)計室主管。余總多次對我說：“我真該感謝你，你給我們公司介紹的這位同事誠實、能干、進(jìn)步最快?！?/p>
其實我們許多人也在重復(fù)著這樣的“跳蚤人生”：因為在心理上默認(rèn)了一個“不可跨越”的高度極限，而甘愿忍受失敗者的生活。（《青年知識報》張強/文）
Never give up hope 永不放棄希望
有個青年總是憤世嫉俗，在學(xué)習(xí)、生活、工作中遭遇了許多誤解和挫折，由于得不到別人的理解，漸漸地養(yǎng)成了以戒備和仇恨的心態(tài)看待他人的習(xí)慣。在壓抑郁悶的環(huán)境中，他感覺整個世界都在排斥他，因此度日如年，幾乎要崩潰。
有一天為了散心，他登上了一座景色宜人的大山。坐在山上，他無心欣賞幽雅的風(fēng)景，想想自己這些年的遭遇，內(nèi)心的仇恨像開閘的洪水一樣，忍不住大聲對著空蕩幽深的山谷喊：“我恨你們！我恨你們！我恨你們！”話一出口，山谷里傳來同樣的回音：“我恨你們！我恨你們！我恨你們！”他越聽越不是滋味，又提高了喊叫的聲音。他罵得越厲害回音越大越長，擾得他更惱怒。
就在他再次大聲叫罵后，從身后傳來了“我愛你們！我愛你們！我愛你們！”的聲音，他扭頭一看，只見不遠(yuǎn)處寺廟里一方丈在沖著他喊。
片刻后方丈微笑著向他走來，他見方丈面善目慈，便一股腦說出了自己所遭遇的一切。
聽了他的講述，方丈笑著說：“晨鐘暮鼓驚醒多少山河名利客，經(jīng)聲佛號喚回?zé)o邊苦海夢中人。我送你4句話。其一，這世界上沒有失敗，只有暫時沒成功。其二，改變世界之前，需要改變的是你自己。其三，改變從決定開始，決定在行動之前。其四，是自己的決心，而不是環(huán)境在決定你的命運。你不妨先改變自己的習(xí)慣，試著用友善的心態(tài)去面對周圍的一切，你會有意想不到的快樂。”
他半信半疑，表情很復(fù)雜。方丈看透了他的心思，接著說道：“倘若世界是一堵墻壁，那么愛是世界的回音壁。就像剛才我們的回音，你以什么樣的心態(tài)說話，它就會以什么樣的語氣給你回音。愛出者愛返，福往者福來。為人處世許多煩惱都是因為對外界苛求得太多而產(chǎn)生的。你熱愛別人，別人也會給你愛；你去幫助別人，別人也會幫助你。世界是互動的，你給世界幾份愛，世界就會回你幾份愛。愛給人的收獲遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于恨帶來的暫時的滿足?！?/p>
聽了方丈的話他頓悟，愉快地下山了。
回去后他以積極、健康、友愛的心態(tài)對待身邊的一切，他和同事之間的誤解沒有了，沒有人和他過不去，工作上他比以往順利了，他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己比以前快樂多了。（《知識窗》/馬國福文）
Never give up hope 永不放棄希望
Life doesn't always give us the joys we want. We don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way. But don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.
Look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind. You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it.
Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patience and understanding. Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.
Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems, you can always do a little--and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference.
生活并非總是如你所愿。希望有時會落空，夢想有時會破滅，我們不能一切隨心所愿。但別放棄希望，因為事物并非一成不變;不同時間，不同場合，你會呈現(xiàn)不同的面貌。
處處留心你身邊的美麗：自然中的美，他人的美，你自己的美。請相信，美來自朋友、家庭乃至全人類的融融愛意。一個微笑，一雙援助之手，一個關(guān)心的舉止，一句友善的話語，無不傳達(dá)著愛。如果你有心去尋找，愛無所不在。
奉獻(xiàn)愛心吧，從中你會發(fā)現(xiàn)生活的力量，感受生活帶來的幸?？鞓罚瑢W(xué)會忍耐和理解。相信人性本善。記住，愛心和希望能化解一切憤怒和沮喪。哪怕生活中揮之不去的不快和困難將你重重包圍，讓你力不從心，但你仍可以盡力而為。累積點滴努力，最終你將扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤。
沒有道路通羅馬
托德·庫姆斯是紐約市中心小學(xué)的一名學(xué)生，按照他父母從小對他的掌控，他目前的專業(yè)功課放在繪畫上，因為他出生于繪畫世家，但他好像對父母的安排不是太感興趣，往往超越父母的期望值去做一些投資方面的工作。
在學(xué)校里，他偷偷地做投資貸款，這在學(xué)生中尚屬首次，他暗箱操作著一家小型的投資公司，專業(yè)地收取學(xué)生們的貸款費用，這一度讓校長十分無奈，他甚至幾度讓他的父母過來領(lǐng)他回家，但每次，他都會痛下決心地表達(dá)自己的意愿，說自己唯一的長處是繪畫。
在繪畫方面，他的確有天份，他的畫作十分吸引人注意，并且一直是繪畫老師眼中的天才，這一定是一位了不起的繪畫大師。
但他前行的道路并非坦途，他的畫作雖然在校園里引人注目，可就是無法吸引大師們的注意力，幾次大獎都與他擦肩而過。
時間來到了他25歲那年，他在全美的一次繪畫大賽中又一次敗北，他一怒之下燒毀了自己全部的畫作，并且發(fā)誓不再手握畫筆。他喝了許多的酒，直至困醉于柏油馬路上。
他醒來時，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的身邊有一個老頭子，他面目和善，見他醒來，他笑著說道：你這小鬼，我早就注意你了，你在校園里的惡作劇我可全知道，我是一家貸款公司的負(fù)責(zé)人，要知道，我正在尋找一位投資方面的天才。
可我只是一個畫畫的人，不是什么投資方面的天才。
給你講個故事吧，古時候，許多人慕名前往羅馬，那兒是高手云集的地方，只要到達(dá)那兒，也就是到達(dá)了天堂。但去羅馬的路太擠了，一個小伙子苦苦尋找了多年時間，仍然沒有成功，一日，他路過一個十字路口，問一位老者，這條路是通往羅馬嗎？老者說，不，通往佛羅倫薩，你去嗎？
年輕人說我是去羅馬的，不去佛羅倫薩。
老者卻意外地說道，沒有道路通羅馬，只有一條路去佛羅倫薩。
年輕人后來想了想：好吧，我去佛羅倫薩。他后來到了佛羅倫薩后，意外地找到了自己失散多年的親人，后來安居在那兒，成家立業(yè)，安度晚年。
庫姆斯大悟著說道：是呀，如果沒有道路到達(dá)羅馬，去佛羅倫薩也是情理之中的事情。
這個叫庫姆斯的年輕人，毅然放棄了經(jīng)營十多年的繪畫作業(yè)，開始經(jīng)營股票與投資，他摸爬滾打了十多年時間，終于成了一家小型基金公司的負(fù)責(zé)人。
但在2010年底，庫姆斯卻意外地成就了一片輝煌，股神巴菲特選中了他成為自己的接班人，這個家伙聲名雀起，一下子變成了金鳳凰。
巴菲特選取他的理由是：他是個投資方面的天才，就像自己年輕時候一樣。這也許是對他最高的褒獎。
人生的許多境地便是：沒有道路通羅馬，我們該如何選擇？也許另外一座城市也有鳥語花香、姹紫嫣紅。

英文原文：
"Notes Synthetiques", by Paul Gauguin
From the manuscript, c. 1888
Excerpted from "Theories of Modern Art", by Herschel B. Chipp
"Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed; contemplating it, everyone can create a story at the will of his imagination and-with a single glance-have his soul invaded by the most profound recollections; no effort of memory, everything is summed up in one instant. -A complete art which sums up all the others and completes them. -Like music, it acts on the soul through the intermediary of the senses: harmonious colors correspond to the harmonies of sounds. But in painting a unity is obtained which is not possible in music, where the accords follow one another, so that the judgment experiences a continuous fatigue if it wants to reunite the end with the beginning. The ear is actually a sense inferior to the eye. The hearing can only grasp a single sound at a time, whereas the sight takes in everything and simultaneously simplifies it at will.
"Like literature, the art of painting tells whatever it wishes, with the advantage that the reader immediately knows the prelude, the setting, and the ending. Literature and music require an effort of memory for the appreciation of the whole; the last named is the most incomplete and the least powerful of arts.
"You can dream freely when you listen to music as well as when looking at a painting. When you read a book, you are a slave of the author's thought. The author is obliged to address himself to the mind before he can impress the heart, and God knows how little power a reasoned sensation has. Sight alone produced an instantaneous impulse. But then, the men of letters alone are art-critics; they alone defend themselves before the public. Their introductions are always a justification of their work, as if really good work does not defend itself on its own.
"These gentlemen flutter about the world like bats which flap their wings in the twilight and whose dark mass appears to you in every direction; animals disquieted by their fate, their too heavy bodies preventing them from rising. Throw them a handkerchief full of sand and they will stupidly make a rush at it.
"One must listen to them judging all human works. God has created man after his own image which, obviously, is flattering for man. "This work pleases me and is done exactly the way I should have conceived it." All art criticism is like that: to agree with the public, to seek a work after one's own image. Yes, gentlemen of letters, you are incapable of criticizing a work of art, be it even a book. Because you are already corrupt judges; you have beforehand a ready-made idea-that of the man of letters-and have too high an opinion of your own thoughts to examine those of others. You do not like blue, therefore you condemn all blue paintings. If you are a sensitive and melancholy poet, you want all compositions to be in a minor key. -Such a one likes graciousness and must have everything that way. Another one likes gaiety and does not understand a sonata.
"it takes intelligence and knowledge in order to judge a book. To judge painting and music requires special sensations of nature besides intelligence and artistic science; in a word, one has to be a born artist, and few are chosen among all those who are called. Any idea can be formulated, but not so the sensation of the heart. What efforts are not needed to master fear or a moment of enthusiasm! Is not love often instantaneous and nearly always blind? And to say that thought is called spirit, whereas the instincts, the nerves, and the heart are part of matter. What irony!
"The vaguest, the most undefinable, the most varied is precisely matter. Thought is a slave of sensations. I have always wondered why one speaks of "noble instincts." . . .
"Above man is nature.
"Literature is human thought described by words.
"Whatever talent you may have in telling me how Othello appears, his heart devoured by jealousy, to kill Desdemona, my soul will never be as much impressed as when I have seen Othello with my own eyes entering the room, his forehead presaging the storm. That is why you need the stage to complement your work.
"You may describe a tempest with talent-you will never succeed in conveying to me the sensation of it.
"Instrumental music as well as numbers are based on a unit. The entire musical system derives from this principle, and the ear has become used to all these divisions. The unit is established through the means of an instrument, yet you may choose some other basis and the tones, half-tones, and quarter-tones will follow each other. Outside of these you will have dissonance. The eye is used less than the ear to perceive these dissonances, but then divisions [of color] are more numerous, and for further complication there are several units.
"On an instrument, you start from one tone. In painting you start from several. Thus, you begin with black and divide up to white-the first unit, the easiest and the most frequently used one, hence the best understood. But take as many units as there are colors in the rainbow, add those made up by composite colors, and you will reach a rather respectable number of units. What an accumulation of numbers, truly a Chinese puzzle! No wonder then that the colorist's science has been so little investigated by the painters and is so little understood by the public. Yet what richness of means to attain an intimate relationship with nature!
"They reprove our colors which we put [unmixed] side by side. In this domain we are perforce victorious, since we are powerfully helped by nature which does not proceed otherwise. A green next to a red does not produce a reddish brown, like the mixture [of pigments], but two vibrating tones. If you put chrome yellow next to this red, you have three tones complementing each other and augmenting the intensity of the first tone: the green. Replace the yellow by a blue, you will find three different tones, though still vibrating through one another. If instead of the blue you apply a violet, the result will be a single tone, but a composite one, belonging to the reds.
"The combinations are unlimited. The mixture of colors produces a dirty tone. Any color alone is a crudity and does not exist in nature. Colors exist only in an apparent rainbow, but how well rich nature took care to show them to you side by side in an established and unalterable order, as if each color was born out of another!
"Yet you have fewer means than nature, and you condemn yourself to renounce all those which it puts at your disposal. Will you ever have as much light as nature, as much heat as the sun? And you speak of exaggeration-but how can you exaggerate since you remain below nature?
"Ah! If you mean by exaggerated any badly balanced work, then you are right in that respect. But I must draw your attention to the fact that, although your work may be timid and pale, it will be considered exaggerated if there is a mistake of harmony in it. Is there then a science of harmony ? Yes.
"In that respect the feeling of the colorist is exactly the natural harmony. Like singers, painters sometimes are out of tune, their eye has no harmony. Later there will be, through study, an entire method of harmony, unless people neglect it, as is done in the academies and most of the time also in studios. Indeed, the study of painting has been divided into two categories. One learns to draw first and then to paint, which means that one applies color within a pre-established contour, not unlike a statue that is painted after it is finished. I must admit that until now I have understood only one thing about this practice, namely that color is nothing but an accessory. I 'Sir, you must draw properly before painting"-this is said in a pedantic manner; but then, all great stupidities are said that way.
"Does one wear shoes instead of gloves? Can you really make me believe that drawing does not derive from color, and vice-versa? To prove this, I commit myself to reduce or enlarge one and the same drawing, according to the color with which I fill it up. Try to draw a head by Rembrandt in his exact proportions and then put on the colors of Rubens-you will see what misshapen product you derive, while at the same time the colors will have become unharmonious.
"During the last hundred years large amounts have been spent for the propagation of drawing and the number of painters is increasing, yet no real progress has been made. Who are the painters we admire at the present? All those who reproved the schools, all those who drew their science from the personal observation of nature. Not one ..."
