书中宝 - 《Tuesday with Morrie》

终于读完了这一本书,《Tuesday with Morrie》,Mitch Albom 著。

他送我这本书的时候说,“希望你从中得到一些启示。很多人都读过了。不知道你读过了吗?”

嘿嘿,小女子才疏学浅,真的没读过。就连我在星加坡转机的时候,坐在我隔壁的啊伯都告诉我说,他读过这本书,这本书说着一位将要去世的老人和一位年轻人的谈话。

很喜欢老教授Morrie的这一番话,和你分享。 :)

"People are only mean when they're threatened, and that's what our culture does. That's what our economy does. Even people who have jobs in our economy are threatened, because they worry about losing them. And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It's all part of this culture."

" Here's what I mean by building your own little subculture. I don't mean you disregard every rule of your community, I don't run through red lights. The little things, I can obey. But the big things - how we think, what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone - or any society - determine those for you. "

" It's the same for women not being thin enough, or men not being rich enough. It's just what our culture would have you believe. Don't believe it."

很有趣的说法,是不?

  1. 我从一个文化,回到了原本的文化。

    习惯之际,却很怀念,那一方的文化。
