乱弹

圣诞节,我先在自习室里面过的,然后在宿舍。
反正一年365天,每一天都一样,我用不着对那一天特殊对待。但是每一天都很特殊,因为那是我生命中独一无二的那一天,我都有认真对待。我很平等。我应该去做该做的事。
 
楼下有个广场叫笃博,笃行和博学的简称。以前我宿舍闹过一个笑话。有个舍友,他的祖辈父辈都是当教师的,知识分子家庭,对孩子的思想自然很关心。有一天, 他家人打电话过来,不知谁接的电话,说"他不在,到笃博广场去了。"他家里不知道,以为是赌博广场。这还得了,家里人一个个都打电话过来做思想工作,他不 得不一个个的解释过去,可是家长还是不怎么相信。
最近几个星期,天天晚上都有晚会。我宿舍就在旁边(博学园),一在宿舍,晚上就吵得要命。我搞不懂,他们这般人怎么有如此闲情逸致,一直热衷于晚会。
还有元旦,他们举行什么通宵舞会。这群人为了浪漫,不要健康,情愿照顾医院的生意,又有什么办法呢?相信感冒病毒大军已经严阵以待,准备对他们围攻了。
这边白天是夏天的太阳值班,晚上可是冬天的寒风守夜,昼夜温差大,不小心,很容易会和感冒绅士打上交道的。在中午,这边从夏天的短袖到冬天的毛衣都可以看到,一年四季的景观尽在一瞬。

雪花,我一直没见过,为此,我经常被人嘲笑。北方的朋友打电话过来,我都会问,下雪了吗,好看吗。在他们看来很平常的东西,我都觉得不一般。我一直希望看 到一个白得耀眼的世界。在厦门这边,四季常青,但是四季常青并不意味着四季长春。这边的气氛看起来不会朝气蓬勃,大学生受了它的感染,夜有些颓废。在我看 来,真正站起来的人不多,不过我有幸认识了几个。

期末复习是开始了,该好好准备了。

最近看到一本奇书叫《西方文化中的数学》, M  克莱因的,简直比看武侠小说还爽。这是一部数学的文化史,或者文化的数学史。从中,我看到了数学是如何翻云覆雨的改变这个世界的。翻译的很好。从这本书, 我看到不一样的数学,那种享受非同一般。我已经看到了天堂,我再去追求数学,这其中经历再多的苦和泪,都是值得的。我现在可以更踏实的去学数学了。

寒假的时候,我可能会呆在学校两个星期,向一个学长学习金融学。我好奇心太重了,什么事都想去试一试。不过,玩累了,我总是会发现,数学正在某个地方等着我。

笼子里面的小鸟

看着笼子外面的小鸟,自由自在的翱翔,笼中的小鸟很是羡慕。外面的鸟儿说,出来吧,外面非常自由。里面的小鸟何尝不知道如此呢?只是一旦出去,我会觅食吗?我有住的地方吗?我能躲得过我的天敌吗?我能活得下去吗?我在笼子里面有吃有住,生活如此安逸,外面的世界可以使我这样吗?它担心。

要知道,笼子在限制了它的自由的同时,也从另一方面保证了它的安定。里面得生活很稳定,外面的世界充满变数。笼里的鸟儿害怕这难以意料的变数,而且对这变数的恐惧与日俱增,对外面世界的向往也每况愈下,对笼子的依赖也蒸蒸日上,因而迟迟没有下冲出笼子的决心。

尽管主人已经对它失去了戒心。它被抓进笼子一阵子以后,主人就没有再锁门了。大概主人知道鸟儿已经对笼子有了一种依赖,它再也不会离开笼子,高飞蓝天了。的确如此。它现在要出笼子使非常容易的事。但是它只满足于在无聊的时候,偶尔飞出笼子,在附近逗留一会儿,很快又回到笼子――那已经是一个庇护所,一个能给鸟儿安全感和归属感的地方。

可怜它终其一生都不再飞出笼子,飞向蓝天,看看外面更广阔的世界。

给我主题!――写在演讲比赛听后

怎么都如此煽情?就像煽火,本来要把火煽大的,结果越煽越小,甚至熄灭了。有几个同学背了一篇稿子窝在心里。上场时,那稿子不吐不快,于是先是胡言乱语的解释了一下题目,同时悄悄的把焦点转移到稿子上面,然后把稿子熟练的背出来,结果显得很蹩脚,也离题千里。稿子的词藻的确十分华丽,但词藻的华丽终究掩盖不住词藻背后空洞的内容。演讲只有3分钟,可是他们的胡扯又浪费了1分多钟,这样怎么会有好演讲?

不可否认,即兴演讲对于同学来说太难了,而且出题者又出了不少大家答不了的题目。可是,你也要就着题目来说啊,为何总想着套那稿子呢?一个没有主题的演讲就像一座没有神的庙宇,像话吗?

他们的普通话都很标准,言语也很有感染力(很会煽情),但理性不足。那个一等奖的女生的演讲过程并不好,但她在回答评委老师的提问的时候表现出了很强的理性,也许就是这为她赢得了高分。剑桥也很有思想,他的演讲准备的充分,有主题,有自己的主见――那是他平时就有考虑这些问题的结果,很充实饱满,抒发的也是他的真情实感。我感觉剑桥总体比那个一等奖的女生要好。

在我听过的演讲中,吸引的不外乎几种,它们各有特点。有的是美妙的言语透露出深邃的哲思,春风化物般化解我心中的郁结,给我的思想注入清新的活水。有的只是平静的叙述。娓娓道来的话不知不觉的捕捉了我的心灵,悄悄激荡心中的波浪,等到高潮的刹那,万千波涛汹涌澎湃而来,真是”惊涛拍岸,卷起千堆雪”。一个好的演讲的前提是演讲者有自己的主见,他真正投入到演讲之中,他或者现身说法,或者善于捕捉细节。

My way of seeing life

In a society with rising competitions and crazy life rhythms, people tend to be more consumeristic and less idealistic than ever before. The stress of earning living is a large proportion of people’s priority.” Benefits First” becomes many human beings’ compass. Some people, as some survey shows, are workaholics.

From my viewpoint, I have the preference for developing a meaningfu lphilosophy of life. What I liketo do most is making a constructive vision of every day, conducting moral thinking and taking society responsibility. Don’t become accustomed of anything but thinking.Never allow myself to take backward steps. Life is a valuable process with great amount of brilliant scenery. Serious things are not so much as imagined.Just take it easy and appreciate every moment I have ever experienced.

On the other hand, earning money to support my life shares the same significance with philosophical thinking. Hunting a job may bean embarrassment or frustration for me .Therefore, I am preparing myself with many skills, such as mathematics, C Programming Language, what I dream of is that the job fits my interest. Then work will be another exciting experience.

This is my way of seeing life.

Romain Rolland

By accident, I came across the simplified version of Jean-Christophe when finishing my junior middle school. How amazing ! I was so absorbed by Jean-Christophe’s sprit towards truth , love and art .Then I found its author Romain Rolland(1866-1944).

He is a French novelist, dramatist, essayist, mystic,pacifist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915.Apparently , he is outstanding .From my standpoint , his best workis Jean-Christophe, which was a ten-volume novel , finished between1904 and 1912 and tells an epic story of a German musical genius.It is so great that I had read its Chinese version twice.

It has 1200 pages ,so large. Before Jean-Christophe, Rolland had already published a biography on Beethoven in 1903. Although this work was partly based on the life of the composer, it also took elements from Mozart’s and Wagner’s careers. Rolland portrayed his main character as a heroic figure, a fighter for social justice. He is abrave, uncompromising soul. “He would rather die than live by illusion. Was not Art also an illusion? No. It must not be. Truth!Truth! Eyes wide open, let him draw in through every pore theall-puissant breath of life, see things as they are, squarely face his misfortunes,–and laugh.” (from Jean-Christophe, vol. I) After killing a policeman, Christophe flees to Switzerland, and starts his career as a composer. He returns to Paris as a celebrated artist, and dies there. In the end his life rejoins the River of Life. It earned Rolland the Nobel Prize. In his later works he remained faithful to the Romantic idea of the artist as a lonely genius.

I also know that Romain Rolland had an effect in politics,history art and others. Among Rolland’s other works are several psychological biographies of artists and politicians (Michelangelo,Danton, Beethoven, Tolstoy etc.).However , it is difficult for me.

I think , people eat to live , not live to eat.What is life and how to make a meaningful life ? Everything are insignificance and nothing is worth my hard work .But Romain Rolland told me, truth and justice is of the extremely importance and there is being many things that mislead the truth and justice.A hero is those acting not for the suffering of himself but of others. We should tend to be a hero, and help others to rebuild the order of society. So long as there is injustice , we should fight with it .Meaning of life is not in my heart , but others’ need.This is the meaning of life.I am not longer confused.
