为爱长大 佚名

　　刚上大学时，为了多修学分，感兴趣的和不感兴趣的课程我选修了许多，这才有机会上了一堂足以影响我一生的课。
　　那时，作为新生，同学们都不同程度地放纵着自己，有的开始谈恋爱，有的夜不归宿上网消遣，有的背起一只大挎包，到各校兜售廉价的日用品。大家好像都认同不思进取才是对枯燥沉重的高中生活的唯一补偿。我夹在他们当中，惶惑而孤独。
　　那是第一次上社会学选修课。讲课的教授貌不惊人，他走上讲台时我习惯地从书包中拿出一本正畅销的小说。但是，我很快就被他吸引了，在简单的开场白之后，他让大家回答"人为啥渴望长大？"这个问题。
　　这是个可大可小的问题。兴致勃勃的同学们踊跃发言，但没有一个答案令教授满意。最后，教授说大家不妨作一次社会调查，去问问那些社会中的人。
　　这项任务挺有意思。周末的时候，我先在校门口拦住一位公司职员模样的人，他边想边说："应该是为了多挣钱，过上好日子吧！"这是很实际也很普遍的一种答案。随后我又到菜市场和音像店分别问了一个摊主和一位时髦女士，他们的意思大都如此。当然，也有例外，挤在公交车上，我问身边一位衣冠楚楚的中年男人这问题，他搔搔脑袋，很茫然地说："人长大是生理成长的自然规律，没有为什么的问题。"
　　第二次社会学选修课上，教授让大家交流调查的结果，同学们七嘴八舌地说起来，教授把这些结果分类列在黑板上，答案形形色色，除了我得到的那种说法之外，还有为了报答父母、可以恋爱成家、回报社会、实现人生目标等等。等大家停下来后，教授才深情地说："你们说的都不错，但都只是一个方面。其实，这么多目的，归纳起来，就是为了去爱：爱自己，爱父母，爱爱人，爱子女，爱朋友，爱社会。"很复杂的一个问题，答案挺简单！教授接着又说："所以，为了长大后能好好去爱，在长大之前，我们理应多多积累一些爱的资本。"
　　讲台下面悄无声息，大家都有一种醍醐灌顶的感觉。一句关于长大的箴言，像一道灿烂阳光深深射进几千颗混沌的心灵。是啊，长大是为了好好去爱，在不具备足够的爱的能力前，我们能做的，只有埋首创造。教授的话激励我在大学几年勤奋读书，辛勤笔耕，到毕业时就发表了二百多篇文章。即便是现在，参加工作好多年，我也不忘勤勉做事，珍惜时间，因为用教授那标准来衡量，我不敢妄言长大。

Relish the moment

Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.

But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.

"When we reach the station, that will be it! "we cry. "When I'm 18. ""When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz! ""When I put the last kid through college. ""When I have paid off the mortgage!""When I get a promotion.""When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! "

Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

"Relish the moment "is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118：24："This is the day which the Lord hath made；we will rejoice and be glad in it. "It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.

So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.

It's a new beginning for my life!

It's a new beginning! I have to face many challenges everyday! Too many things are here waiting for me to learn. So little spare time...

I find it interesting that when Sunday comes I don't know what to do. Maybe I just used to the busy life...

Yea, life is not easy! For the sake of your future! Learn as many things as you can when you're young! Don't act like a child! It's time for you to take the responsibility!
