引言： 回首那个糟糕的夏天，我很快就明白了，所有后来出现的好事只不过与坏事相互抵消。比一般情况糟糕的境遇不会延宕过久；而太平时光是我应得的，我要尽情享受，它们为我注入活力以应对下一个险情，并确保我可以兴旺发达。 The 50-Percent Theory of Life I believe in the 50-percent theory. Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are worse. I believe life is apend...
编者引言：生命，应如烟花般绚烂夺目，如怒放的鲜花般芬芳… Giving Life Meaning Have you thought about what you want people to say about you after you’re gone? Can you hear the voice saying, “He was a great man.” Or “She really will be missed.” What else do they say?

生命如诗，需要我们用心去感受那或豪迈洒脱、或婉约清丽的诗行… Human Life a Poem I think that, from a biological standpoint, human life almost reads like a poem.

编者按： 毋宁说，倒是我们这些还活着的人，应该在这里把自己奉献于勇士们已经如此崇高地向前推进但尚未完成的事业。倒是我们应该在这里把自己奉献于仍然留在我们面前的伟大任务——我们要从这些光荣的死者身上汲取更多的献身精神，来完成他们已经完全彻底为之献身的事业；我们要在这里下定最大的决心，不让这些死者白白牺牲；我们要使国家在上帝福佑下得到自由的新生，要使这个民有、民治、民享的政府永世长...
Bed in Summer ——Robert Louis Stevenson In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light In summer, quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day.

And does it seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should...
