Learn to Settle Yourself 麦克失业后，心情糟透了。为了排解心中的苦闷，他找到了镇上的牧师。牧师听完了麦克的诉说，把 他带进一个古旧的小屋，屋子里惟一的一张桌上放着一杯水。牧师微笑着说： “你看这只杯子，它已 经放在这儿很久了，几乎每天都有灰尘落在里面，但它依然澄清透明。你知道是为什么吗？ ”麦克认 真思索，像是要看穿这杯子。他忽然说： “我懂了，所有的灰尘都沉淀到杯子底了。 ”牧师赞同地点点 头： “年轻人，生活中烦心的事很多，有些你越想忘掉越不易忘掉，那就记住它好了。就像这杯水， 如果你厌恶地振荡自己，会使整杯水都不得安宁，混浊一片，这是多么愚蠢的行为。而如果你愿意慢 慢地、静静地让它们沉淀下来，用宽广的胸怀去容纳它们，这样，心灵并未因此受到污染，反而更加 纯净了。 ” Mike was laid off.

When you try hard to forget them, they become harder to forget. Then why not let them stay in your memory? Just like this glass of water. If you keep shaking it with hatred, it will be disturbed and muddy. What a stupid thing to do! But if you are patient enough to let the dusts settle slowly and quietly, broadminded enough to accept them, then your soul will never be disturbed, rather, it becomes clearer . ” 点评： 斤斤计较的人，一生只得两斤。大海之所以成为大海，只因为它比所有的河流都低。 Comment: A man haggling over every ounce will get little.
