When Men become Old? 一寸光陰一寸金。風華正茂、精力充沛的青年時代,轉瞬即逝,我們更應該抓緊每一分每一秒,努力學習使自己成長。所謂少年易老學難成,一寸光陰不可輕。 “I dread to come to the end of the year,” said a friend to me recently, "it makes me realize I am growing old.” William James, the great psychologist, said that most men are “old fogies” at twenty-five. He was right. Most men at twenty-five are satisfied with their jobs. They have accumulated the little stock of prejudices that they call their "Principles" and closed their minds to all new ideas; they have ceased to grow. The minute man ceases to grow – no matter what how old he is – is the minute he begins to be old. On the other hand, the really great man never grows old. Goethe passed out at eighty-three, and finished his Faust only a few years earlier; Gladstone took up a new language when he was seventy. Laplace, the astronomer, was still at work when death caught up with him at seventy-eight. He died crying, "What we know is nothing; what we do not know is immense." And there you have the real answer to the question, "When dose a man become old?" Laplace at seventy-eight died young. He was still unsatisfied, still sure that he had a lot to learn. As long as a man can keep himself in that attitude of mind, as long as he can look back on every year and say “I grew”, he is still young. When one ceases to grow and says to himself that "I know all that I need to know," his youth stops. He may be twenty-five or seventy-five, but it makes no difference. On that day he begins to be old. “我懼怕臨近歲末年尾”,一位朋友最近對我說:“它使我意識到我正在變老! 偉大的心理學家威廉?詹姆斯就曾說過,大多數(shù)人“25歲時就成了守舊落伍者”。他的話是對的。大多數(shù)人25歲時就滿足于他們的工作。他們已經積累了一些他們稱之為“原則”的偏見,對所有新的思想關閉心靈之門;他們已經停止成長。 一個人一旦停止成長--不管他年齡多大--他就開始衰老。反之,真正的偉人從來不會衰老。 歌德享年83歲,逝世前幾年才完成《浮士德》;格萊斯頓70歲時又開始學習一門外國語;法國天文學家拉普拉斯78歲死時還在工作著。臨死前,他大聲喊道:“我們所知的太少太少,我們所不知的太多太多。” “一個人何時變老?”,從這類事例中對這個問題你已經有了真正的答案。 拉普拉斯78歲逝世時依然年輕。他依舊不滿足,依舊感到許多東西要學。 一個人,只要他能夠保持這種心態(tài),只要他在回首過去的一年時能夠說“我在成長”,他就依然年輕。 他一旦停止成長,他一旦對自己說“我該懂的都懂了”,這個時候他的青春也就完了。他可能在25歲時死去,也可能在75歲時死去,這都沒有區(qū)別。就在那一天,他開始變老。 轉自:http://www.putclub.com/html/abil ... 012/0625/52607.html |
