拉迪亚德·吉卜林《如果》读后感
芸芸众生,谁不想成功,谁不想令世人瞩目,诗人在诗中展示了成功背后,包含多少辛酸,经历多少磨难,忍受多少痛楚。有道是“天将降大任于斯人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨”。如果我们能正视成功前的种种困难,勇于接受挑战;失败了,何畏惧,重头再来。那样,我们便成为了一个顶天立地之人。
If — Rudyard Kipling
如果 —— 拉迪亚德·吉卜林
IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
如果周围的人毫无理性地向你发难,你仍能镇定自若保持冷静;
IF you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
如果众人对你心存猜忌,你仍能自信如常并认为他们的猜忌情有可原;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
如果你肯耐心等待不急不躁,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
或遭人诽谤却不以牙还牙,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
或遭人憎恨却不以恶报恶;
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
既不装腔作势,亦不气盛趾高;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
如果你有梦想,而又不为梦主宰;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
如果你有神思,而又不走火入魔;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
如果你坦然面对胜利和灾难,对虚渺的胜负荣辱胸怀旷荡;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
如果你能忍受有这样的无赖,歪曲你的口吐真言蒙骗笨汉,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
或看着心血铸就的事业崩溃,仍能忍辱负重脚踏实地重新攀登;
