小编问你,是不是被萌化啦?今天小编要和大家分享它的作者J.K.罗琳的故事! 今天小编和大家分享一些J.K.罗琳送给哈佛学生的5句话,在孩子面对小挫折的时候,粑粑麻麻或许可以讲一讲罗琳的故事,鼓励孩子振作起来,失败并不可怕,可怕的是不敢面对失败。 1. "Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." “低谷成了我重建生活的坚实基础。” 什么是低谷?罗琳是这样理解“人生低谷”的: "I had failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short lived marriage had imploded and I was a jobless alone parent and as poor as it was possible to be in Britain without being homeless." “我遇到了前所未有的挫败。意外短暂的婚姻遗憾而终,我成了一个没有工作的单身母亲,除了还不至于无家可归外,当时要多穷有多穷。” 所以不管此时此刻境遇如何,你都可以从低谷开始,为自己的梦想和目标夯实基础。 2. "Failure gave me an inner security that I have never had by passing examinations." “失败给了我一种内心安全感,这是我通过考试都不曾有过的感觉。” 内心安全感源于工作、金钱还是成绩得A?抑或完美的伴侣或人际关系?至少罗琳不是如此。她的内心安全感来自于失败。 "Failure meant the stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me." “失败意味着剥离无关紧要的一切。我因此不再伪装自己、远离自我,而重新开始把所有精力放在对我最重要的事情上。” 你能摆脱什么?哪些是你生活中无关紧要的?剩下的又会是什么?剩下的才是真正重要的,怀着内心的安全感,你选择那条唯一正确的道路。 3. "Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates." “天赋和才能并不会使你免遭命运无常的捉弄。” 你有大学文凭,自认为很聪明,是吧?那也无可厚非。但在命运这里,罗琳认为: "So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes." “如果给我一部时光机,我会告诉21岁的自己,人的幸福在于知道生活不是一份漂亮的成绩单,你的资历、简历,都不是你的生活,虽然你会碰到很多与我同龄或更老一点的人今天依然还在混淆两者。生活是艰辛的,复杂的,超出任何人的控制能力,而谦恭地了解这一点,将使你历经沧桑后能够更好的生存。” 毫无自我评判的余地——生活对所有人都是自行其道。所以,请量力而行地争取渴望的东西。请坚持再坚持,千万不要放弃! 4. "We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already." “我们不需要魔法来改变世界,因为我们的内心就已经拥有了所有力量。” 如果能拥有哈利或赫敏的魔杖岂不是很厉害?或者去魔杖店亲自挑选呢?如果罗琳认为你自身就拥有神奇力量,那你确实就有。请相信你的力量、发挥出你的力量,去开启一段疯狂旅程吧! 5. "The crucial importance of imagination." “想象力极其重要。” 你以为只有小孩才有想象力吗?或许你自己就是个大小孩呢! "Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not and therefore the fount of all invention…we have the power to imagine better." “想象力不仅是人类独有的想象能力,同时也是所有发明的源泉……我们有能力想象得更美好。” "It is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we never shared." “这种力量能让我们体会到自身不曾经历的他人经验。” 请尽情做梦吧。让想象力自由奔放,去想象更美好的生活、更和谐的社会。罗琳允许你这么做! |
