有感而發,拙作一篇, 希望不會把大家悶壞……請多多指教:p
+pjU4>) +pjU4>) The Journey of Life +pjU4>) +pjU4>) What is life? It is a question that has been asked and pondered upon by philosophers,
+pjU4>) writers and many others. Despite centuries of meditation, there is no standard answer,
+pjU4>) considering that all individuals are unique and they perceive their lives in their own way. The
+pjU4>) meaning of life is open to interpretation.
+pjU4>) +pjU4>) A Greek philosopher suggests that nothing lasts forever and hence nothing can transcend
+pjU4>) time. Life is like a body of flowing water which is constantly changing. When we step into the river
+pjU4>) again, it appears to be the same as before. Yet, it is no longer the same river that has wet our feet
+pjU4>) because the water is ever flowing. By the same token, we are different from the “we” that
+pjU4>) stepped into the water some time ago.
Life never repeats itself. It can be lived only once and +pjU4>)
every moment of it should be treasured. +pjU4>) +pjU4>) “Time and tide wait for no man.”“Time is the most fair and reasonable — it never gives
+pjU4>) more to anyone.” Time flies like an arrow and no one can wind back the clock.
There are so +pjU4>)
many things we need to look after in our daily lives that sometimes we have no time to catch our +pjU4>)
breath. Life is long if we live it meaningfully; life is transient if we just idle away our time. Instead
+pjU4>) of waiting for opportunities to emerge, we should seize our time and make the best out of it.
+pjU4>) Procrastination is the thief of time, and making up for lost time is not easy.
+pjU4>) +pjU4>) “The best does not come alone. It comes with the company of the all.”
Though not as +pjU4>)
dramatic as a roller coaster ride, life is often marked by many ups and downs. Good times and
+pjU4>) bad times come in the same way as the tide ebbs and flows. At certain points in our life, the sea
+pjU4>) may be rough.
As long as we do not lose heart in adversity, we should be able to overcome the +pjU4>)
hurdles. Sooner or later, the trying times will be behind us. Every cloud surely has a silver lining.
+pjU4>) +pjU4>) Life involves choices. We might make mistakes in the process, knowingly or unknowingly.
+pjU4>) Of course, if we just sit back doing nothing, we will not risk making errors.
But there are times in +pjU4>)
our life when we find ourselves at a crossroads where decision-making are unavoidable. Positive +pjU4>)
thinking is a way to guide us towards a solution. While looking ahead for a new path, we also look
+pjU4>) back to learn lessons. Life is a learning process, and the sands of time have much to tell and
+pjU4>) teach us. “A man is never too old to learn.”
The longer we live, the more we should learn.
+pjU4>) +pjU4>) “Life is not a 100-yard dash, but more a cross-country run.” True enough,
life is like a +pjU4>)
marathon that calls for persistence. In this long race, some run faster, some slower, and the
+pjU4>) finish line is different for each participant. But at whatever pace, we should stride ahead with a
+pjU4>) clear direction. We all have a goal in life, whether lofty or not. The heart of the matter is not how
+pjU4>) fast we are moving towards this destination, but how hard we are trying to get there. It is in the
+pjU4>) course of running that we truly understand the substance of life.
+pjU4>) +pjU4>) Like a leaf of blank paper, our life can become either just black and white or as colourful as
+pjU4>) a mass of flowers. Our life is in our own hands. It is up to us to decide what to draw on this
+pjU4>) paper. While some work with their own hands, some invite the partnership of another. An
+pjU4>) accompanied journey is sometimes more heart-warming and fulfilling. In whichever case, this
+pjU4>) paper is a record of our history, from the cradle to the grave, as well as a memoir for those that
+pjU4>) come after us. So
no matter what we are going to draw on it, we should put our heart and soul into +pjU4>)
it. +pjU4>) Ruirui, you have inspired me to think of the meaning of life again. Devote +pjU4>)
this article to you and wish you every success in the future journey of your life! +pjU4>) by小玉:)
