我常常聽人說，他想讀一點書，苦于沒有時間。我不太同意這種說法。不管他是多么忙，他總不至于忙得一點時間都抽不出來。一天當中如果抽出一小時來讀書，一年就有365小時，十年就有3650小時，積少成多，無論什么研究都會有驚人的成績。零碎的時間最可寶貴，但也最容易丟棄。我記得陸放翁有兩句詩：“呼僮不應自升火，待飯未來還讀書。”這兩句詩給我的印象很深。待飯未來的時候是頗難熬的，用來讀書豈不甚妙？我們的時間往往于不知不覺中被荒廢掉。例如，現在距開會還有50分鐘，于是什么事都不做了，磨磨蹭蹭，50分鐘便打發掉了。如果用這時間讀幾頁書，豈不較為受用。

I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. Being in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I have never found a companion that was as friendly as solitude. We are for the most part lonelier when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our homes. A man thinking or working is always alone. Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellow men. The really diligent student in one of the crowded rooms of a college is as a hermit in the desert. The farmer can work alone in the field or the woods all day, weeding or chopping, and not feel lonesome, because he is employed. But when he comes home at night, he cannot be alone. He must be where he can see “the folks”, and he thinks, repay himself for his day’s solitude. So he wonders how the student can sit alone in the house all night and most of the day without boredom and the “blues”. But he does not realize that the student, although in the house, is still at work in his field, and chopping in his woods. PAGE: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) |
