第13部分(第1页)

正如我提到过的,我认为我必须帮助所有人保护他们的言论自由,尽管我不同意他们的意见。我必须倾听并研究可信赖的观点;有时我会从中学到很多。任何个人或国家都无法垄断智慧或才能。我想,一个人或一个家变得骄傲自满之时,便是它令人深感忧虑之时。对他人的观点置若罔闻的人,显示出他在自己的观点上完全缺乏自信。

毫无疑问,美国人所固有的权利是在所有领域中享有平等的经济机会、保护适当的生活条件、用以培养孩子的道德和精神的足够的经济基础、在法律和上帝面前平等的身份与朋友自由交往的权利。只有当人们能自由地思考和发言时,这些权利才能得到保护和发展。如果我试图阻止一个背景不同的公民在任何话题上自由地表达自己的想法,我就违背了民主的基本原则。我已经对与我密切相关的问题上阐述了自己的一些想法。我想我们应该乐观地看待美国理想的将来,只要人们能够并将毫无畏惧地说出他们的信念。

在漫长而忙碌的人生旅途中,有一条正确的生活哲学指引我们的生活,会大大减少我们走弯路的几率,并适用你的家庭、日常生活、政治活动以及人际关系,它是亘古不变的,那就是:付出才会有收获。

The Only Way to Make a Friend

Herbert H。 Lehman

So many things affect a man’s philosophy and his life that I find it difficult to put into words my personal beliefs。 I hesitate1 to speak of them publicly for fear of giving the appearance of preaching。

Two convictions; however; I believe have more than any others influenced my thinking both in private and in public life。

First; monplace as it may sound; I am convinced that what we get out of life is in direct proportion to what we put into it。 Second; I must respect the opinions of others even if I disagree with them。

Throughout my long and rather busy career I have always held firmly to the belief that I owe life as much as it owns to me。 If that philosophy is sound; and I believe it is; it applies; I hope; to all of my activities—to my home; to my daily work; to my politics; and above all things to my relationships to others。书 包 网 txt小说上传分享

交友的唯一方式(2)

Life is not a one…way street。 What I do; what I say even what I think; inevitably has a direct effect on my relationships with others。 I am certain that in the degree that my attitude towards others has given convincing proof of loyalty; sincerity; honesty; courtesy and fairness; I have encouraged in others the same attitude towards me。 Respect begets respect; suspicion2 begets suspicion; hate begets hate。 It has been well said that “The only way to have a friend is to be one。”

None of the blessings of our great American heritage of civil liberties is self executing。 To make effective such things as brotherhood; kindliness; sympathy; human decency3; the freedom of opportunity; the very preciousness of life—to make these things real requires respect and constant vigilance。 This is the core of my American Faith。

As I have said; I believe I must help to safeguard to all men free expression of their views even though I may be in disagreement with them。 I must listen to and study responsible views; sometimes I will 1earn much from them。 No individual and no nation has a monopoly of wisdom or talent。 When an individual or a nation bees self…satisfied or placent; it is time; I believe; to be deeply concerned。 He who closes his ears to the views of others shows little confidence in the integrity of his own views。

There can be no question with regard to the inherent rights of Americans to enjoy equal economic opportunity in every field; to secure decent living conditions; adequate provision for the moral and spiritual development of their children; and free association with their fellow men as equals under the law and equals in the sight of God。 These rights can be safeguarded and advanced only where men may think and speak freely。 I reject a fundamental principle of democracy if I seek to prevent a fellow citizen of different background from fully expressing his thoughts on any subject。 I have tried to express a few of my own thoughts on this subject which is very close to me。 I think that we will have good reason for optimism about the future of the American ideal as long as men can and will say; without fear; what they believe。

笑吧,老师们,笑吧(1)

格伦·沃尔特

教育是一件很重要的事情,我们不能过于严肃地对待。当人们太过认真地对待某事时,他们就好像戴上了眼罩,甚至会错过周围事物的某些重要方面。他们逐渐变得“视野狭窄”,限制并扭曲了他们对现实的理解。教育很重要,我们不能被那些戴着眼罩或视野狭窄的人所控制。

我认为责任制放纵了许多教育家,他们将教育搞得过于认真。这样做会导致标准考试分数的重要性超过孩子,课程计划的重要性超过老师。我们戴上了眼罩,只看到孩子身上的一小部分——容易测试的那一部分——不能全面地看待孩子。只有整体地观察一个学生,我们才能明白他是否喜欢学习,是否能与其他孩子很好地交往,自我感觉是否良好。

我们如何才能摘掉眼罩?如何才能扩展视野,看到孩子的整体情况?如何才能不过分认真地对待每一件事?我的建议很简单——笑吧,老师们,笑吧!

心理学家一直认为消极情绪会引发人类体内的负面化学变化。反过来也是正确的。我们知道,一个有幽默感的人,体质复原的能力也会很强。事实上,笑可以放松肌肉,减缓心脏跳动,还可以降血压。笑可以带动身体内部发生变化,使内分泌系统活动起来,这对减轻病痛大有裨益。笑还可以消除烦躁、压力、愧疚、消极、头痛和背痛。

每次当你轻声而笑或大笑的时候,大脑会释放出体内自然的减轻痛苦的荷尔蒙,那些荷尔蒙会引起内啡肽的分泌,这是一种可以缓解疼痛的天然麻醉剂。这些相同的荷尔蒙可以使眼睛光亮有神,提高大脑的工作效率。笑可以让人放松。当你的身体舒畅时,视野会开阔,就可以看到曾经错过的东西了。
