Text我们都在走向死亡1
我给你带来一条好消息,还有一条坏消息(正如笑话所说的)。坏消息是:我们都在走向死亡——很抱歉是我带来了这条坏消息。这可是真的,我已经核实过了,事实上我已经三番五次地核实过了。我也找到了证据,可是要说出这个事实实在是不容易,不过我们的确都在走向死亡。Text这件事我过去多少知道一点,但不愿过多地去想它。但事实是,再过70年或80年——这要取决于你现在年龄有多大,寿命有多长——我们都会躺到棺材里,或者变成某个地方公墓玫瑰园里的灰尘,被人践踏。我们甚至活不到这么老。毕竟,我们从来就不清楚那位戴着头巾、手持长柄镰刀、命人吐出最后一口气的死神什么时候会来召唤我们,有可能会比我们希望的要早。其实我最近就曾经从局外人的角度观察过死亡,没有什么比朋友的早逝更能表明人生的无常和生命的脆弱了。Text2
真可怕。3
我已经让你够沮丧的了,现在告诉你那条好消息吧:知道了我们都在走向坟墓,我们就不再有人生无常的感觉了。我们已经知道故事的结局,开场白和尾声也都确定了,剩下的就是介于两者之间的那些事儿了,这些事是我们作得了主的。我们必须挑选故事情节。Text4所以,那些被你搁置在一边的计划,即那些“当时机成熟时”你会用生命来完成的伟大事业怎么办呢?可我发现时机永远不会有成熟的时候。时间必须提前,必须马上行动,就在这一刻,不能拖延,必须赶紧,而且越快越好。不管是你想写的小说,还是你一直在筹划的去大峡谷的旅行,你心仪的工作,你想导演的伦敦西区话剧,你都必须现在就去做。知道吗?我们都在走向死亡。这是已经定了的。Text
5
因此,把自己的梦想搁置起来,等到时机成熟之后才开始实现它,这就意味着梦想可能永远都不会实现。人生的遗憾莫过于还有事情没有做,我们有必要现在就去做这些事,不然就晚了。明天行吗?明天只是个谎言;根本就没有什么明天,只有一张我们常常无法兑现的期票。明天甚至压根儿就不存在。你早上醒来时又是另一个今天了,同样的规则又可以全部套用。Text明天只是现在的另一种说法,是一块空地,除非我们开始在那里播种,否则它永远都是空地。你的时间会流逝(时间就在我们说话的当下嘀嗒嘀嗒地走着,每分钟顺时针走60秒,如果你不能很好地利用它,它会走得更快些),而你没有取得任何成就来证明它的存在,唯独留下遗憾,留下一面后视镜,上面写满了“本可以做”、“本应该做”、“本来会做”的事情。Text6
你是否注意过,自助餐馆里服务员会给你一个茶杯碟大小的碗,并告诉你:“你想盛多少沙拉都可以,但只能盛一次”?生活就像那只盛沙拉的碗,我们可以和那些饥肠辘辘等着主菜的人一样在那只小碗里装上尽可能多的沙拉。我喜欢看人们巧妙地把黄瓜片插在沙拉碗的四周——就像往废料桶里堆东西那样——把沙拉堆得老高老高,最后不得不雇个叉车把沙拉拉回餐桌。他们不是贪婪,而是明白自己只有一次机会。Text7
把你的碗盛满吧,我们在这个世上只走一遭,既然来了就好好利用这短暂的一生,就像我们牢牢抓住一年一度去佛罗里达或西班牙度假的机会那样。在短暂的人生中填入尽可能多的内容吧。确保每天回家后你都会因为干了很多事而感到精疲力尽。8
如果你不想当邮递员就别当邮递员,放弃这份工作去当个画家、作家、滑雪运动员,干什么都行。千万不要干自己明明就不喜欢的事情。Text9
现在就开始行动吧,不要等到明天。没有比现在更好的时间了。如果在这一刻你不能得到你想得到的东西,你至少可以趁灵感还在的时候马上开始你的旅程,即刻起程。我们有同样多的时间,我们和布兰森以及盖茨一样,每天都有24个小时。决定我们这一生成败的是我们把时间花在什么事情上,是我们如何来分配时间。Text10
因此,我正在琢磨的是(这可不是分子科学):如果我们正在走向死亡,而且分配给我们的时间是有限的,那么我们到底有什么理由不现在就去做所有想做的事情呢?这些被暂时搁置的事情到底又是什么呢?为什么明明知道成熟的时机永远不会到来,而我们却都还在等待呢?成熟的时机是一张支票,它永远都在邮寄的路上,永远都不会到来。它就是那让我们在合作社旁边像桥墩那样站着傻等的女孩,我们再怎么看表也无济于事,她失约了。Text11
我们傻等着,而成熟的时机却永远不会到来。12
所以我要说,别再等待了,走到路上去迎接天意。开始给你的生活增添所有你能得到的财富,这样当死神到来时,你已经完成了那么多事,你的一生是那么的充实。当生命在你眼前回放时,死神等着等着就睡着了。Text13现在就行动吧,不然你的时间会流逝的,而你最终将成为尘封的相册里的一位谁都叫不上名字的灰头土脸的穷亲戚。14还是给人间留下一本像大煎蛋饼那么厚的传记吧,那可比仅仅留下一块碑铭强。15“乔·史密斯……嘿嘿,他没干过什么,对吧?”TextWords&Phrasesbearertriplesubstantiatecoffin
