英语课外阅读心静如水的境界
网球王子图片Joshua Loth Liebman "On my head pour only the sweet waters ofrenity(平静). Give me the gift of the Untroubled Mind."
Once, as a young man full of exuberant(繁茂的') fancy, I undertollk to draw up a catalogue of the acknowledged "goods" of life. As other men sometimes tabulate(平板状的) lists of properties they own or would like to own, I t down my inventory of earthly desirables: health, love, beauty, talent, power,riches,and fame.
When my inventory was completed I proudly showed it to a wi elder who had been the mentor and spiritual model of my youth. Perhaps I was trying to impress him with my precocious wisdom. Anywany, I handed him the list. "This", I told him confidently, "is the sum of mortal goods. Could a man posss them all, he would be as a god."

"And what." I asked, peppering my voice with truculence, "is that missing ingredient?"

"Talent and beauty He gives to many. Wealth is commonplace, fame not rare. But peace of mind - that is His final guerdon of approval, the fondest insignia of His love, He bestows it charily. Most men are never blesd with it; others wait all their lives- yes, far into advanced age - for this gift to descend upon them."
