  • 枫下沙龙 / 谈天说地 / 问(1): 什么时候我们的生活成了BALANCE SHEET? -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2002-2-6 {572} (#360803@0)
    突发感想.

    我们是否还有PASSION?

    我们是否还有DREAM?

    我们是否还有WONDER?

    我们是否还有CURIOSITY?

    我们是否还有ADVENTUROUSNESS?

    我们是否还有EXPLORATION?

    什么时候我们的生活成了一个活生生的BALANCE SHEET? 上面只有INCOME, HOUSE MORTGAGE, CAR PAYMENT? 成败也只是衡量这三项的得失?

    放下JAMES MICHENER的小说<SPACE>, 久久不能平静, 只为这句话:

    "He feared that Millard (the son) had failed to develop one of the most precious human attributes, wonder, and the ability to project oneself into unexplored dimensions."

    我忍不住回头凝视我身后墙上爱因斯坦的画像.
    • 钱多得花不光才不用考虑INCOME, HOUSE MORTGAGE, CAR PAYMENT呢！ 爱因斯坦也有要考虑面包的时候，不是吗？ -fionah(Fiona); 2002-2-6 (#360811@0)

    • 爱因斯坦也要pay bill啊... 我更惨, 每天拿Quicken算过去算过来, 钱越来越少... 呵呵, 再先进的管理手段都不行... -expertune(CreateObject("专家")); 2002-2-6 (#360861@0)

    • 我始终不同意把钱当作衡量男人成功与否的唯一标准！好在身边的人也这么认为。 -buhello(happy your life); 2002-2-6 (#360887@0)

      • 呵呵，我也很喜欢高露洁那个广告：小强，霸王恐龙，漂亮的女教师，小强疵牙模仿恐龙的叫声…… -pingle(pingle); 2002-2-7 (#361005@0)
        • 冤枉！我没看过那个广告。是前几个月有人问我是那种尺寸的恐龙，我就知道霸王龙，翼龙，食草龙。有空，改成翼龙好了。 -tropicalfish(霸王恐龙); 2002-2-7 (#361227@0)
          • 改名叫：翼恐龙 -infinitypalm(Infinity in the palm); 2002-2-7 (#361888@0)
    • It depands on individuals. Some people can enjoy life under financial pressure. Some can't and then the life become balance sheet. It has nothing to do with Einstain :). -wade(wade); 2002-2-7 (#361239@0)
      • hehe...the book <space> is about the development of roket science after WWII. It reminds me of my childhood dream of being a great scientist. Einstein was, is and will still be my hero. -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2002-2-7 {616} (#361306@0)
        when people make important decisions such as immigration, it appears to me people just simply compare the 3 items on a balance sheet: income, house, car. There is no space for passion, dream, wonder, curiosity, exploration.

        I have been away from my own dream for more than 10 years and buried myself in the "balance sheet" for the same period time.

        I just want to remind myself and the other people that those most precious human attributes, wonder, curiosity, etc are just as important as those 3 items in our decision making. By saying that, I am not denying the importance of money to our basic life. :)
        • It's good you remind people things like that. -wade(wade); 2002-2-7 {340} (#361409@0)
          Just don't generalize it though. Apparently from the post following your thread, what you think of people is not really that true. :)

          Plus a great scientist most of time does not have a dream to become one. It's the joy of discovering things. Same as life, it's the joy of living, even live a life of buring themself in balance sheet.
    • 看看身边的人，梦想越来越少，平淡越来越多，激情越来越少，烦恼越来越多，难道真正的生活就是如此吗？可我知道，在达到我的目标之前，我必须忍受。if the dream big enough,the fact doesn't matter -lover4u(有吃有喝温哥华); 2002-2-7 (#361484@0)
      • 看来并不是有吃有喝的，就没有烦恼了。。。 -naughtypig(皮皮猪); 2002-2-7 (#361740@0)
