			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My friends Peter likes tourism, whenever he is free he loves to travel around. He said that the pressure of work is big, travel to enable him to relax physically and mentally. He has been to Alaska, Xi&#8217;an, China, and other location. He likes photography, every place he would take a lot of photos, He will put these pictures on the Internet to share with friends,<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pccm/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/pccm/</a></p>
<p>He&#8217;s a very good photo shoot.<br />
Last time I saw him, he said he would like to do a web site on tour and  hotel reservation, similar to <a href="http://www.ctrip.com/">Ctrip</a>(http://www.ctrip.com/)<br />
The establishment of such a site requires a great deal of work,such as web site development, Hotel information provider, Web site promotion etc. If there are appropriate resources, I suggested that he might try.<br />
Of course, if I have time I will help him, because I like the development of the Internet site.</p>
<p>Now there are a lot of Internet hotel reservation sites.You know, looking for an affordable and beautiful hotel is not easy. I have found that a Web site, <a href="http://www.hotelscombined.com">hotelscombined</a>,  is to provide hotel price comparison service,the URL is  http://www.hotelscombined.com<br />
This site provides us all on the hotel provided by the Web site, there is a price comparison, so that we can make better choices. We can search for hotel we need, and link to relevant sites to do hotel reservations.It can search for hotel from many web sites,such as <a href="http://www.hotels.com">hotels.com</a>, <a href="http://www.Booking.com">Booking.com</a>, <a href="http://www.TotalTourist.com">TotalTourist.com</a>, etc. We can search a specified hotel on the hotel page,for example, <a href="http://www.hotelscombined.com/Hotel/Royal_Hotel_Macau.htm">China Royal Hotel Macau</a>:<br />
http://www.hotelscombined.com/Hotel/Royal_Hotel_Macau.htm</p>
<p>This model is also worth considering, and this need to establish a good relationship with major travel sites. Therefore, the work needs to be done may be more. To consider what kind of model, we need well-considered. In any case, I hope he can achieve his dream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.</p>
<p>The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, &#8220;I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy&#8217;s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.</p>
<p>&#8220;That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.</p>
<p>&#8220;He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Why did I receive an F?&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you&#8217;ll have to pay large stud fees. There&#8217;s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’</p>
<p>&#8220;The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’</p>
<p>&#8220;Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, `You can keep the F and I&#8217;ll keep my dream.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, &#8220;I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.&#8221; He added, &#8220;The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.&#8221; When the teacher was leaving, he said, `Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.’&#8221;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.</p>
<p>By Jack Canfield From Chicken Soup for the Soul</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great <sup>1)</sup>artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the <sup>2)</sup>medium is the human mind and spirit.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">I shall speak only of my first teacher because <sup>3)</sup>in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn’t even seem to know it. We could never <sup>4)</sup>stick to the subject. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths <sup>5)</sup>shielded in our hands like <sup>6)</sup>captured <sup>7)</sup>fireflies.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">She was fired and perhaps <sup> <img src='http://www.ideagrace.com/digg/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> </sup>rightly so, for failing to teach <sup>9)</sup>fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she <sup>10)</sup>inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I could not do simple <sup>11)</sup>arithmetic but through her I sensed that <sup>12)</sup>abstract <sup>13)</sup>mathematics was very much like music. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">When she was relieved, a sadness came over us but the light did not go out. She left her <sup>14)</sup>signature on us, the literature of the teacher who writes on minds. I suppose that to a large extent I am the unsigned <sup>15)</sup>manuscript of the high school teacher. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I can tell my son who looks forward with horror to fifteen years of <sup>16)</sup>drudgery that somewhere in the <sup>17)</sup>dusty dark a magic may happen that will <sup>18)</sup>light up the years&#8230; if he is very lucky.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 宋体;">良师，乃人生一幸</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent2" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: 宋体;">我相信一名好老师就是一名伟大的艺术家，而且相信好的老师和伟大的艺术家一样难得。教书也许是一门最伟大的艺术，因为它的媒体是人的大脑和灵魂。</span><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: 宋体;">我特别要说一说我的第一位老师，她教会我们其他知识，也教会我们如何探求知识。</span><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: 宋体;">她让我们大声讨论，挥舞着书本。她的课堂是全校最乱的课堂，而她对此却好像全然不知。我们从不会拘泥于一个科目上。她培养我们的好奇心，让我们自己去发现事实和真理，把它们攥在手中，像被捕捉的萤火虫一样。</span><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: 宋体;">她因未能教授我们基础知识而被解雇了，或许这理由很正当，因为这些知识一定要学。但是她给我们留下了对纯粹的可知世界的热情；她燃起我求知的热情，这种热情前所未有。我虽然不会计算简单的算术题，但是通过她，我感到抽象的数学与音乐非常地相似。</span><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: 宋体;">当她被解聘时，我们都很难过，但是那片光明并没有消失。她给我们留下她的签名，那是老师写在我们心中的作品。我想在很大程度上，我正是那位中学老师未经签名的手稿。这样一个人拥有多么永恒的力量啊。</span><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: 宋体;">我可以告诉我那恐惧地等待</span><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">15</span><span style="font-family: 宋体;">年寒窗之苦的儿子，如果他非常幸运的话，在一片混沌黑暗中，也许会有神奇的事情发生，使他的学生时代一片光明。</span><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I think the album, The Piano Player, is quite interesting.<span> </span>It’s quite <sup>1)</sup>dynamic, we have the pure classical pieces, we have pop classical pieces, we have easy listening music of pieces of <sup>2)</sup>Tonci Huljic and as well we have film music, so it like music for everybody, something for everybody. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">We are here now on <sup>3)</sup>Havana on Cuba and we are shooting the video for my new single, “The Flight of the <sup>4)</sup>Bumble-Bee.” Because it’s something very different, because we have a boxer, we have a <sup>5)</sup>ballet dancer then it’s&#8230; and we were shooting in one very special room, you know, it’s like all really all room with all mirrors. I think it will be very interesting.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I’ve started to play piano when I was nine. My first piano was brown and over a hundred years old.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">When the war began I was like fifteen and there was some quite difficult times because it was quite a hard bombing in my city. And we didn’t have a school practically for two years. So we were just practising in the basement of the music school and I remember the dust falling from the ceiling while we were practising.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The “<sup>6)</sup>Rhapsody of Paganini Theme”, it’s one of the most beautiful pieces ever written for classical piano. That’s the piece which I wanted to have on my <sup>7)</sup>repertoire. It was experience for me to do a Rachmaninoff because it was the first time I had to learn this piece in, like ten days and it’s a really difficult piece. I had to learn it, go to London, record it in the studio and I never saw the scores before, you know. So it was like a big challenge for me.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">It’s very modern, it’s very experimental, there are so many interesting sounds, you know mixed with this beautiful piece, it’s really special for me. Many variations. But the slow one, I think it’s 21st, it’s wonderful piece of music. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The track “<sup> <img src='http://www.ideagrace.com/digg/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> </sup>Exodus” is originally from the movie Exodus, which is really old movie. It’s quite interesting music and it was produced and it was arranged for two pianos, so four hands. Four-hand piece and I recorded two pianos and then we put it in one, so it sounds like really big sound of the piano. I can actually perform this track live because also made an arrangement for one piano so they put these two arrangements in one. It’s much more difficult than separate pianos but it’s OK. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">When I perform live for me it’s much better because there is this special feeling, special connection with the audience.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">There is was one track on this album which is “Croatian Rhapsody” and it was originally written for me by a Croatian composer Tonci Huljic. It’s wonderful piece because it has a real characteristics of Croatian music. You can hear it with Croatian harmonies and Croatian dance. So I like this track especially.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 宋体;">我狂故我在</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">我觉得《钢琴玩家》这张专辑很有趣。它很有动感，有纯粹的古典乐，也有流行古典乐，有彤奇·胡里奇所作的轻音乐，也有电影音乐。所以，整张专辑的音乐像是为所有人创作的。</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">我们现在在古巴的哈瓦那为我的新单曲《大黄蜂的飞行》拍摄音乐电视。这是一种完全不一样的工作，我们找到一个拳师，一个芭蕾舞演员，还有……我们在一个非常特别的房间里拍摄，你知道，整个房间到处都是镜子，我想这是很有意思的。</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">我从九岁起就开始弹钢琴了。我的第一架钢琴是棕色的，有一百多年的历史。</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">战争开始时我十五岁，我所在的城市遭受一次大轰炸，境况十分艰难。实际上我们有两年没有上学。于是我们在音乐学院的地下室练习。我还记得在练琴的时候，尘土从天花板上掉下来。</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">《帕 格尼尼主题狂想曲》，这是古典钢琴曲里写得最优美的一个乐章，也是我想要收录的曲目。它使我非常有满足感，因为这是第一首我在十天内就必须学会的曲目，虽 然它难度很大，但我必须学会它，然后到伦敦的录音棚里录音，而此前我根本没见过乐谱。所以对我来说，它真是一项巨大的挑战。</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">它非常现代，非常前卫，许多有趣的音乐融合在这优美的乐章里，对我来说是那么独特。它有许多变调，但节奏慢的这一部分，我想，是二十一世纪，是极妙的乐章。</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">《出埃及记》是电影</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">&#8211;</span></span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">一部很老的电影</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;">&#8211;</span></span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">《出 埃及记》的主题曲。音乐很有意思，是用两架钢琴、四只手演奏出来的。我们将两架钢琴、四只手演奏出来的音乐录下来，融合在一起，这样听起来就像一架钢琴发 出的洪亮的声音。我可以现场演奏这首曲子，因为只要安排一架钢琴，把两部分曲子合而为一来演奏就可以了。这比用两架钢琴分别演奏弹要难多了，但效果还不 错。</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">当我现场演奏的时候，对我来说，会好多了，因为我会产生一种特别的感觉，与观众产生共鸣。</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 宋体;">专辑有一首曲子叫《克罗地亚狂想曲》，是克罗地亚作曲家彤奇·胡里奇写给我的。这首曲子很精彩，因为它真正含有克罗地亚音乐的特点。你可以边听边欣赏克罗地亚舞蹈，边品位克罗地亚式的和声。所以，我特别喜欢这支曲子。</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"> By Bertrand Russell</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">Three passions, simple but <sup>1)</sup>overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and <sup>2)</sup>unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, in a <sup>3)</sup>wayward course, over a deep ocean of <sup>4)</sup>anguish, reaching to the very <sup>5)</sup>verge of despair. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">I have sought love, first, because it brings <sup>6)</sup>ecstasy-ecstasy so great that I would often have<sup> 7)</sup>sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness-that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold <sup> <img src='http://www.ideagrace.com/digg/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> </sup>unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic<sup> 9)</sup>miniature, the <sup>10)</sup>prefiguring vision of the heaven that <sup>11)</sup>saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what-at last-I have found. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to <sup>12)</sup>apprehend the <sup>13)</sup>Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by <sup>14)</sup>oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their pain make a <sup>15)</sup>mockery of what human life should be. I long to <sup>16)</sup>alleviate the evil, but I can&#8217;t, and I too suffer. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US">This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 宋体;">我的人生追求</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;" lang="EN-US"></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span lang="EN-US"> </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: 宋体;">有三种简单然而无比强烈的激情左右了我的一生：对爱的渴望，对知识的探索和对人类苦难的难以忍受的怜悯。这些激情像飓风，反复地吹拂过深重的苦海，濒于绝境。</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 21pt;"><span style="font-family: 宋体;">我寻找爱，首先是因为它使人心醉神迷</span><span lang="EN-US">——</span><span style="font-family: 宋体;">这种陶醉是如此的美妙，使我愿意牺牲所有的余生去换取几个小时这样的欣喜。我寻找爱，还因为它解除孤独</span><span lang="EN-US">——</span><span style="font-family: 宋体;">在可怕的孤独中，一颗颤抖的灵魂从世界的边缘看到冰冷、无底、死寂的深渊。最后，我寻找爱，还因为在爱的交融中，神秘而又具体而微地，我看到了圣贤和诗人们想象出的天堂的前景。这就是我所寻找的，而且，虽然对人生来说似乎过于美妙，这也是我终于找到了的。</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><span style="color: #494949;"><img src="http://www.4ewriting.com/upimages/20086917144110682461.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Dear Seth, </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can&#8217;t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I&#8217;ve learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">You won&#8217;t be able to understand this letter today, but someday, when you&#8217;re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">You are young, and life has yet to take its toll on you, to throw disappointments and heartaches and loneliness and struggles and pain into your path. You have not been worn down yet by long hours of thankless work, by the slings and arrows of everyday life. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">For this, be thankful. You are at a wonderful stage of life. You have many wonderful stages of life still to come, but they are not without their costs and perils. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I&#8217;ve learned. As with any advice, take it with a grain of salt. What works for me might not work for you. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;"><strong>Life Can Be Cruel </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">There will be people in your life who won&#8217;t be very nice. They&#8217;ll tease you because you&#8217;re different, or for no good reason. They might try to bully you or hurt you. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">There&#8217;s not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you, who actually care about you, who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, hold on to them, treasure them, spend time with them, be kind to them, love them. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">There will be times when you are met with disappointment instead of success. Life won&#8217;t always turn out the way you want. This is just another thing you&#8217;ll have to learn to deal with. But instead of letting these things get you down, push on. Accept disappointment and learn to persevere, to pursue your dreams despite pitfalls. Learn to turn negatives into positives, and you&#8217;ll do much better in life. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">You will also face heartbreak and abandonment by those you love. I hope you don&#8217;t have to face this too much, but it happens. Again, not much you can do but to heal, and to move on with your life. Let these pains become stepping stones to better things in life, and learn to use them to make you stronger. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;"><strong>But Be Open to life Anyway </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Yes, you&#8217;ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life … but don&#8217;t let that close you to new things. Don&#8217;t retreat from life, don&#8217;t hide or wall yourself off. Be open to new things, new experiences, new people. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">You might get your heart broken 10 times, but find the most wonderful woman the 11th time. If you shut yourself off from love, you&#8217;ll miss out on that woman, and the happiest times of your life. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">You might get teased and bullied and hurt by people you meet … and then after meeting dozens of jerks, find a true friend. If you close yourself off to new people, and don&#8217;t open your heart to them, you&#8217;ll avoid pain … but also lose out on meeting some incredible people, who will be there during the toughest times of your life and create some of the best times of your life. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">You will fail many times but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss out on the amazing feeling of success once you reach new heights with your accomplishments. Failure is a stepping stone to success. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;"><strong>Life Isn&#8217;t a Competition </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">You will meet many people who will try to outdo you, in school, in college, at work. They&#8217;ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets. To them, life is a competition — they have to do better than their peers to be happy. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Here&#8217;s a secret: Life isn&#8217;t a competition. It&#8217;s a journey. If you spend that journey always trying to impress others, to outdo others, you’re wasting your journey. Instead, learn to enjoy the journey. Make it a journey of Happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Don&#8217;t worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material, or even a better-paying job. None of that matters a whit, and none of it will make you happier. You&#8217;ll acquire these things and then only want more. Instead, learn to be satisfied with having enough — and then use the time you would have wasted trying to earn money to buy those things … use that time doing things you love. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Find your passion, and pursue it doggedly. Don&#8217;t settle for a job that pays the bills. Life is too short to waste on a job you hate. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;"><strong>Love Should Be Your Rule </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">If there&#8217;s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: Love. It might sound corny, I know … but trust me, there&#8217;s no better rule in life. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Some would live by the rule of success. Their lives will be stressful, unhappy and shallow. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Others would live by the rule of selfishness — putting their needs above those of others. They will live lonely lives, and will also be unhappy. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Still others will live by the rule of righteousness — trying to show the right path, and admonishing anyone who doesn&#8217;t live by that path. They are concerned with others, but in a negative way, and in the end will only have their own righteousness to live with, and that&#8217;s a horrible companion. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Live your life by the rule of love. Love your spouse, your children, your parents, your friends, with all of your heart. Give to them what they need, and show them not cruelty nor disapproval nor coldness nor disappointment, but only love. Open your soul to them. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors … your coworkers … strangers … your brothers and sisters in humanity. Offer anyone you meet a smile, a kind word, a kind gesture, a helping hand. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Love not only neighbors and strangers … but your enemy. The person who is cruelest to you, who has been unkind to you … love him. He is a tortured soul, and most in need of your love. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">And most of all, love yourself. While others may criticize you, learn not to be so hard on yourself, to think that you’re ugly or dumb or unworthy of love … but to think instead that you are a wonderful human being, worthy of Happiness and love … and learn to love yourself for who you are. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on a weird, scary, daunting, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and I will be there for you when I can. Godspeed. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #494949;">Love, Your Dad </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic，wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops. As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job，he received a steady stream of refusals.<br />
Finally，a short，thin man，well past middle age，approached the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand?”the farmer asked him.<br />
“Well，I can sleep when the wind blows，” answered the little man.<br />
Although puzzled by this answer，the farmer，desperate for help，hired him. The little man worked well around the farm，busy from dawn to dusk，and the farmer felt satisfied with the man s work.<br />
Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed，the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand s sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled，“Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow a!”<br />
The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly，“No sir. I told you，I can sleep when the wind blows.”<br />
Enraged by the response，the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead，he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement，he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins. The cows were in the barn，the chickens were in the coops，and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away.<br />
The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant，so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew.<br />
MORAL： When you re prepared，spiritually，mentally，and physically，you have nothing to fear.</span></p>

英国浪漫派美诗赏析：春天 Spring<br />
把笛子吹起！</p>
<p>现在它无声无息。</p>
<p>白天夜晚</p>
<p>鸟儿们喜欢。</p>
<p>有一只夜莺</p>
<p>在山谷深深，</p>
<p>天上的云雀，</p>
<p>满心喜悦，</p>
<p>欢天喜地，迎接新年到。</p>
<p>小小的男孩</p>
<p>无比欢快。</p>
<p>小小的女孩</p>
<p>玲珑可爱。</p>
<p>公鸡喔喔叫，</p>
<p>你也叫声高。</p>
<p>愉快的嗓音，</p>
<p>婴儿的闹声，</p>
<p>欢天喜地，迎接新年到。</p>
<p>小小的羊崽，</p>
<p>这里有我在，</p>
<p>走过来舔舐</p>
<p>我白白的脖子。</p>
<p>你的毛柔软，</p>
<p>让我牵一牵。</p>
<p>你的脸娇嫩，</p>
<p>让我吻一吻。</p>
<p>欢天喜地，我们迎接新年到。</p>
<p>威廉·布莱克是十九世纪英国浪漫派诗人，主要诗作有诗集《天真之歌》、《经验之歌》等。 早期作品简洁明快，中后期作品趋向玄妙晦涩，充满神秘色彩。本诗选自《天真之歌》。</p>
<p>春天来了，万物复苏。这表现在动物的活动上：鸟儿欢腾，公鸡鸣叫，云雀在天上翻飞，夜莺在山谷间歌唱；也表现在孩子们的活动上：欢蹦乱跳，笑语喧哗，跟小动物一块儿玩耍。</p>
<p>这首诗的三节像三个变焦电影镜头：由远而近依次是山谷树林、村庄农舍，然后聚焦在一个与羊羔相戏的儿童身上。意象鲜明、具体、生动，趣味盎然。 而诗以儿童的口吻写出，反映了孩子们对春天的感受。诗行由片语和短句组成，注意押韵和反复，几近童谣，轻松自然，琅琅上口，读来颇有春天气息扑面而来的新 鲜感。</p>
