我最喜歡的一段話跟大家分享,這段話是羅斯福夫人所說的,她是我想要效仿的女性之一:
“One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In stopping to think through the meaning of what I have learned, there is much that I believe intensely, much I am unsure of. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.”
“一個人的中心思想不能用言語表達;而是體現在一個人所做的選擇中。在停下來思考我所學到事情的意義,從中我們產生信念,但也有所不確定。以長遠來看 ,我們塑造我們的人生,我們塑造出自己的模樣。這個過程到我們死之前都不會結束。而我們做出的選擇永遠是由我們自己承擔。
成熟的人不會認為事情是絕對的,即使在情緒被勾起也能客觀思考,懂得所有的人和事都有好壞兩面,謙遜行事,對人生所有狀態展現慈悲。 知道在這個世界上沒有人是無所不知,我們所有人都需要愛與慈悲。”
是不是很有智慧?
