 佳音看云 2016-02-02



引言:


这是诺贝尔文学奖获得者吉卜林在他儿子12岁时写的诗。面对这些“如果”,我们的男孩究竟会怎样面对呢?


人生路漫漫,有顺境也会遇到逆境。坚强的心智和良好的修养,是一生的财富,要磨练自己,拥有这样的修养,做到理性、独立、热情而有爱心,才能让一生完美。


如果你的儿子已经能听懂,那么就跟儿子一起吟诵这首优美、深邃的诗吧!如果孩子太小,那么就先为他珍藏吧!

正文:

如果

如果所有的人都失去理智,咒骂你,

你仍然保持头脑清醒;

如果所有的人都怀疑你,

而你仍能坚信自己,让所有的怀疑动摇;

如果你要等待,不因此而厌烦,

为人所骗,不因此而骗人,

为人所恨,不因此抱恨,

不要太乐观,不要自以为是;


如果你是个追梦人——不要被梦主宰;

如果你是个爱思考的人——光想会达不到目标;

如果你遇到骄傲和挫折,

把两者当骗子看待;

如果你能忍受,你曾讲过的事实

被恶棍扭曲,用于蒙骗傻子,

看着你用毕生去看护的东西被毁坏,

然后附身,用你破烂的工具把它修补;


如果你在赢得无数桂冠之后,

突遇巅峰下跌之险,

失败过后,东山再起,

不抱怨你的失败;

如果你能迫使自己,

在别人走后,长久地坚守阵地,

在你心中已空荡荡无一物,

只有意志告诉你“坚持”!


如果你与人交谈,能保持风度,

伴王行走,能保持距离;

如果仇敌和好友都不伤害你;

如果所有的人都指望你,却无人全心全意;

如果你花六十秒进行短程跑,

填满那不可饶恕的一分钟——

你就可以拥有一个世界,

这个世界的一切都是你的,

更重要的是,孩子,你是一个顶天立地的人!

If

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or,being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or,being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;


If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them-Hold on!;


If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And which is more:

you'll be a Man my son!
