Graduation 毕业典礼
Morrie 停止呼吸的时候是当全部家人都不在身边的时候,他静悄悄的走了。没有人看到他的最后一口气。作者相信他是故意这么做的。他不想他家人孩子有他自己可怕的经历– 几十年前他得知自己自己的父母过世的经历。
毕业典礼是简单的丧礼。只有最亲的亲戚朋友出席。
当作者看回去以前的自己,总想跟那16年前的自己说别犯下种种的错误,开放点,拥有自己的价值观。更重要的是,他想告诉他早点飞回去找他的教授。别等到最后一刻了才过去探访。
书中的结尾非常有意思:
Have you ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine? If you are lucky enough to find your way to such teachers, you will always find your way back. Sometimes it is only in your head. Sometimes it is right alongside their beds.
The last class of my old professor’s life took place once a week, in his home, by a window in his study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink flowers. The class met on Tuesdays. No books were required. The subject was the meaning of life. It was taught from experience.
The teaching goes on.
好一个The teaching goes on。
学会做人,待人处世这堂课本来就是一生人要做的事。这门课没有毕业典礼,只有永无止境的学习与改进。 本帖最后由 nikuang04 于 22-6-2013 09:49 PM 编辑
