名书推荐——《The Nightingale and the Rose》夜莺与玫瑰
有人说,读书没用,因为读过的书马上就忘了。 其实你没忘,就像一个孩子通过每天的一日三餐,慢慢长大成人。 他不记得他曾经吃过的每顿饭是什么,但他长成了大人。 你读过的书也会融进你的身体,变成你的骨血。 使你慢慢变成一个有智慧的人。
今天给大家推荐这本书的作者是:Oscar Wilde
推荐理由:A nightingale overhears a student complaining that his professor's daughter will not dance with him, as he is unable to give her a red rose. The nightingale visits all the rose-trees in the garden, and one of the white roses tell her that there's a way to produce a red rose, but only if the nightingale is prepared to sing the sweetest song for the rose all night, and sacrifice her life to do so. Seeing the student in tears, the nightingale carries out the ritual, and impales herself on the rose-tree's thorn so that her heart's blood can stain the rose. The student takes the rose to the professor's daughter, but she again rejects him because another man has sent her some real jewels, and "everybody knows that jewels cost far more than flowers." The student angrily throws the rose into the gutter, returns to his study of metaphysics, and decides not to believe in true love anymore.
读书是一种思考与认知,它并不能为你带来直接的财富提升,却能有助于你更好的了解这个世界。我们常说知识改变命运,实则是知识改变了你对整个世界的认知,对每一件事的态度。我们不断的用知识去丰盈,充沛自己的内心,最后,你认知到了骄傲自满的缺陷,于是你学会了自谦低调;你认知到了道德伦理的尺度,于是你学会了原则礼法;你认知到了自由的局限,于是你学会了对自由的把握;你认知到了苦难挫折的必然,于是学会了坚韧坦然的面对;你认知了仁义礼智信,于是学会诚实敬重。
