花去春还在……

MY EDUCATION, MY FUTURE

9月9日，主席逝世33周年忌日。结束了最近一段时间的忙乱，夜里呆在书房的时光也显得温情又安静，在网络里游荡着，想看看关于主席忌日的报道，主流媒体大都关心60周年庆典了，未见有我关心的主题，有些失望。

无意中倒是见了一则帖子，关于奥巴马的开学演讲和总理在35中的讲话，超简略，只是说不比了。怀着好奇，登陆了白宫的网站查了讲稿，摘录部分如下：

~~~I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.

Maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that English paper -- that English class paper that's assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor -- maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or the new medicine or vaccine -- but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.

And no matter what you want to do with your life, I guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.

And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of America depends on you. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.

You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.~~~

~~~But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you, because here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.

That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.~~~

~~~But whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.

I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. Chances are you're not going to be any of those things.

The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject that you study. You won't click with every teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.

That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. J.K. Rowling's -- who wrote Harry Potter -- her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why I succeed."~~~

~~~The story of America isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.

It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google and Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.

So today, I want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a President who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?~~~

美国人真是超会用排比句，我很想知道，这么有感染力的演讲，如果是讲给中国的学生听，他们的内心究竟会起怎样的波澜？回想学生时代，似乎从来就没有哪位师长哪位先生这样鼓舞过我的内心。这么多年过去了，留在台面上的东西，还不如“少年中国说”来的强大而有力。只是，只是我们都很现实，现实到无法感动自己也无法彼此感动。

更为可笑的是看了光明日报的一则新闻说：佛罗里达州共和党委员会主席吉姆· 格里尔认为，这是用纳税人的钱传播奥巴马的“社会主义”意识形态。

不管怎样，教师节又到了，还是要感谢那些在我的学生时代曾经给予过我教益和帮助的师长们，祝他们节日快乐！

鸡毛蒜皮，一望无际……

1、最近的最近，鸡毛蒜皮，一望无际……身体有些欠妥，偶尔的头晕以及严重的睡眠不足，没有足够的时间来安排练习毛笔和看书，被人追债一般的逼迫完成某项工作，还有莫名其妙出现了工作上的一个重大失误……完全没有了思路敏捷又逻辑清晰的那个强人的高效作风，这让我很怀疑自己的脑子是否已经生锈，或者进水，再或者被驴踢了。

2、参加了两个无聊的论坛，没有什么新意，除了发现他们很会搞钱和很会花钱，真的看不出还有其它什么。也许是我愚笨拙劣，思路狭窄，也许确实是国富民强，所以歌舞升平。统统的官样文章主旋律，也许我们这样玩玩，有一天就真的赶英超美了。倒是见了流氓一样的窦文涛和才女一样的曾子墨，来客串主持，还在巨幅的主题海报印上头像，似乎是因为有他们，所谓的论坛才举足轻重。于是，他们出场的时候，台下蜂拥着动物园看猴一样看他们。我甚至都没有给他们掌声，因为，因为在我看来，他们其实就是一个小明而已。

3、洗手间的洗手盆和淋浴刚开水的时候会有一股异味冒出来，咨询了物业，说是里面的软管的问题，要换。于是，便去买了管，准备自己换，结果就连续修了两天晚上的水管。要拆出那个相当复杂的淋浴器还真是要费一番功夫，等我拧下旧管换上新管，已经汗流浃背了，然后再研究了一下洗手盆的水龙头结构，已经无力再战，暂且休兵。翌日晚间，再度挽袖开工，倒腾了半个小时全部拆出之后又发现买的新管型号不对，只好又重新去换。接下来便是躺倒在地后上半身蜷在浴室柜狭小的空间里仰面作业的又半个小时，我的后背几乎要被柜子的底板硌得断掉一般的痛。这让我非常鄙视这个弱智的给排水设计，当然，也让我很钦佩自己，完全有了做水管工的技能和体能。只是，只是这还没完，因为我仅仅只是完成了一个洗手间而已。

4、单身的生活没有太多的念想，除了安静的时候更安静，暴躁的时候更暴躁，除此之外的任何时候，我都更如实在扮演着自己。张同学说，我大概不是一个容易相处的人。也许她说得对，所以我做不成小明那样的人。来了又去的很多人的人来人往，我还是会烦恼，还是会难过，还是会忧伤……只是，只是假若没有明天，我依然是要优雅从容走完今天的，这样。

小明又及

华少的全名叫明华，然后，然后我就问他可不可以叫他小明。

amaRd->不如我叫你小明好了？
华少->为什么呢？
amaRd->因为你的名字里有一个明字啊。
华少->又关我事？
amaRd->你明白了没有呢，小明？
华少->……
amaRd->对了，就是这个意思，小明。
华少->为什么呢？
amaRd->你根本就不明白嘛，小明！
华少->我不是小明，我是小华。
amaRd->你就是小明，不要再狡辩了。
华少->……

小明

其实，小明只是一个名字而已，而且，这个名字可以被我用在任何一个人身上。

比如我会称呼一个朋友叫张小明，只因为他的名字的拼音首字母是ZXM，事实上我根本就不知道他究竟叫什么。又比如我买了一盏台灯，把照片给东东看，然后问他：好看么，小明？然后，然后他会称呼我大暗。再比如PHONE的表弟叫铭，我就会叫他小日月，这样。

然后，我想问一个问题：明白了没有，小明？

处暑之后

1、经过这个夏天最热的一周，我几乎就要抓狂了，因为热得让人胸闷发慌和难以呼吸，完全没有了长久修炼的笃定又淡然的架势。坐在冷气有点过头的写字楼，突然就会有很汗颜的感觉，因为想起了那些大大小小无名有名的依然在烈日下辛勤挥洒汗水的劳动者——我完全没有理由这样厚颜无耻来抱怨天气的炎热嘛。处暑已过，天气突然又变态了，时而乌云密布大雨滂沱，时而骄阳似火烈日高张，让人完全摸不着头脑。甚至，甚至七夕的那天，也是阴晴不定雷暴连连。莫不是牛郎和织女吵架还不止，直接就打起来了，鸡飞狗跳，不得安宁。

2、那天去G地，老王顺便接上了女儿要送回老家准备开学。共事了近7年，很少听他说起家里的事情，也是头一次见他的千金，12岁的文静小姑娘。照面的当口，突然觉得很讶异，仿佛这个小孩是突然就冒出来的。回程，在有一句没一句闲聊着打发时光的交谈中，近距离感受着老王作为父亲的另一个身份所代表的内容，它是陌生的，却又再熟悉不过。直到，直到他在火车站附近停下把车扔给我，然后这对父女在街头转身离去，我似乎突然就明白了许多——青春无法召回，年华终将老去……

3、夜里坐在书房的灯下练习毛笔和看书，处暑之后该是秋天了，难以抵挡的秋乏阵阵袭来，双眼也干涩难当，滴上两滴滴眼液也只是片刻的缓解而已，非常苦恼。澳巴子东东说他的硬笔字练到想砸笔了，我也有同感，因为我的毛笔字长进甚小，练不到20分钟就手抖心慌，莫名火滚。心智的修炼，看来还需要更坚定的努力，什么时候有人向我求墨宝了，应该就是小有所成的吧？到那个时候，就照着给澳巴子东东设定的理想那样，做走鬼卖字去，说不定就出名了。
