非走不可的弯路(张爱玲)

在青春的路口,曾经有那么一条小路若隐若现,召唤着我。
母亲拦住我:“那条路走不得”。
我不信。
“我就是从那条路走过来的,你还有什么不信?”
“既然你能从那条路走过来,我为什么不能?”
“我不想让你走弯路。”
“但是我喜欢,而且我不怕。”
母亲心疼地看我好久,然后叹口气:“好吧,你这个倔强的孩子,那条路很难走,一路小心!”
上路后,我发现母亲的没有骗我,那的确是条弯路,我碰壁,摔跟头,有时碰得头破血流,但我不停地走,终于走过来了。
坐下来喘息的时候,我看见一个朋友,自然很年轻,正站在我当年的路口,我忍不住喊:“那条路走不得。”
她不信。
“我母亲就是从那条路走过来的,我也是。”
“既然你们都可以从那条路走过来,我为什么不能?”
“我不想让你走同样的弯路。”
“但是我喜欢。”
我看了看她,看了看自己,然后笑了:“一路小心。”
我很感激她,她让我发现自己不再年轻,已经开始扮演“过来人”常患的“拦路癖”
在人生的路上,有一条路每个人非走不可,那就是年轻时候的弯路。不摔跟头,不碰壁,不碰个头破血流,怎能炼出钢筋铁骨,怎能长大呢?

中国跟美国的相似之处

看似不同的两个国家,其实很多地方很相似。

今天跟中国朋友讲两个美国朋友MB和MK来自同一个城市,是老乡,顿时感觉美国变得亲切了。看起来在美国人身上也可以用“老乡见老乡,两眼泪汪汪”这个俗语了。

中国跟美国的区别

一美国朋友近期准备去杭州,于是我们讨论中国和美国的区别。

1. 中国人普遍比美国人瘦好几圈。在中国普通身材的人,在美国属于营养不良型的。在美国普通身材的人,在中国都是胖子。
2. 中国大部分人不信教,美国大部分人信教。
3. 中餐的主食是米和面。美国菜的主食是肉。

另外,在生活中,我要成为一个更加坚强,独立,自信和勤快的人。

陪审团服务/Jury Duty

今天接到麻省来的信,要求我做陪审员。读了那封信的要求之后,我发现做为非美国人,我不符合陪审员的要求。于是我去网上填了一个表。第一个问题是“你是否符合陪审员的要求”,我回答“否”。第二个问题问“为什么”,我选了“因为我不是美国公民”。第三个问题问我的人种是什么。第四个问我想通过邮政系统还是电子邮件收取进一步的信息。我一一作答。

这真是有趣的美国文化浸染。我去年的室友也收到了类似的信。日语课的朋友前几天缺课也是因为这个。还有今天我问的朋友准备明年1月履行他的义务。

作为美国公民可以在法律上做决定,还真爽~

冒着被拒的风险做事情和不做那件事而后悔,你会选哪一个?

Conversation with Alex today:

 moi I am really afraid of rejection.
I can't even submit job applications.
When I want to do something with someone, I can't even summon up the courage to ask.

Alexandra hmmm
everyone hates rejection
it's normal
you just have to accept that there will be some in life
everyone gets rejected
einstein got rejected for loads of things
when he was at grad school etc
you can't avoid it
at least, not if you want to actually live
:)
anyway

 moi you think it's better to get rejected than to avoid them?

 Alexandra DEFINITELY
ppl regret the things they never tried to do, not the things they tried at and failed
at least then you know you tried
if you don't, it's always there
teasing you with 'what-might-have-beens'

 moi so in order not to have many regrets, i should try.
i am gonna think about it.
:)
 Alexandra: xkcd has a good comic about it actually
lol
speak soon!

勇敢加毅力,什么都不怕

姥姥刚刚给我讲文革时候的故事。她说,她那个时候因为身份不好,被斗了一天。白天把肩章卸掉,被打嘴巴子,晚上被关在礼堂,要写检讨书。晚上看门的是一个又黑又壮的炊事员,劝说她还有三个孩子,不要做傻事。她因为相信党,相信自己的家人,愣是一个字都不写。结果第二天早上被放了,肩章也还回来了,还是继续工作。她说,那是她最难的时候,但是也克服了。我回想过去,觉得好像把自己给丢了。我要重新找回来。

Jokes and reality

Some words are jokes,
but they sound true;
some are reality,
but I don't want to admit;
some are fause,
but I want to believe them.
