今日读书:《爱的教育》
今日读书时间:08:00-08:30,17:30-18:00
今日读书总结:
书里的Enrico老师每个月都会讲一个月末故事,今天我正好读到一篇关于爱国的月末故事。我对战争背景不太了解,以为跟Enrico小伙伴一样,只是介绍一个小男孩的简单故事,谁曾想转折如此快速,前一秒还在高树上帮本国士兵勘察远方敌情,下一刻就被敌人射击致死。
他是个弃婴,从头到尾我都没看到他的名字,这些不妨碍他有颗爱国赤子之心。当本国士兵请他爬到高树上勘察地形时,询问是否需要报酬,小男孩说:“Nothing.A fine thing, indeed!And then-if it were for the Germans,I wouldn’t do it on any terms;but for our men! I am a Lombard!”(小男孩是伦巴第人,伦巴第是意大利北部大区)
不得不佩服作者写作功力,短短几句话,人物特点立起来了,又在勘察时突然被打死,让人感受到战争的残酷,和对生命的践踏。

今天读到小男孩被射击的经过时,我很投入,好像就在事发现场。所以想分享这段经过。
小男孩爬到树上勘察右边视野的情况,发现敌人埋伏在树丛中,敌人也发现了小男孩,开始向他这边射击,树下的士官很着急,让他尽快下来,他坚持勘察左边视野的情况:
At that moment, another whistle, more acute and lower than the first, cut the air. The boy was thoroughly aroused. “Deuce take them!” he exclaimed. “They actually are aiming at me!” The bullet had passed at a short distance from him.
“Down!” shouted the officer, imperious and irritated.
“I’ll come down presently”, replied the boy. “But the tree shelters me. Don’t fear. You want to know what there is on the left?”
“Yes, on the left”, answered the officer; “but come down.”
“On the left,” shouted the lad, thrusting his body out in that direction, “yonder, where there is a chapel, I think I see-”
A third fierce whistle passed through the air, and almost instantaneously the boy was seen to descend, catching for a moment at the trunk and branches, and then falling headlong with arms outspread.
”Curse it!” exclaimed the officer, running up.
The boy landed on the ground, upon his back, and remained stretched out there, with arms outspread and supine; a stream of blood flowed from his breast, on the left. The sergeant and two soldiers leaped from their horses; the officer bent over and opened his shirt:the ball had entered his left lung. “He is dead!” exclaimed the officer.
“No, he still lives!” replied the sergeant.--- “Ah, poor boy! Brave boy!” cried the officer. “Courage,courage!” But while he was saying “courage,” he was pressing his handkerchief on the wound. The boy rolled his eyes wildly and dropped his head back. He was dead.
今日读书:《执行力是训练出来的》
今日读书时间:18:00-18:30
今日读书总结:
今天读到“让自己不再犹豫不决”和“挖掘事业的核心价值”这两章,前一章讲述如何不再犹豫不决,就是在行动前毫不留情地详细盘问自己。
比如当有新想法或新计划时,作者建议读者问自己三个问题:
1.为什么我要把这个想法付诸行动?
2.还有没有其他方式可以实现我的目标?
3.我需要付出什么代价?
通过这三个问题可以了解每个选择下面深藏的能量;甚至对于要实施的想法,询问自己这样做的十个理由是什么,当你把所有容易想到而又十分浅显的理由列举完以后,你才能真正深入思考,接近问题的本质与核心。一旦想透彻是不是自己真实想做的,就会不犹豫地执行起来。
后一章作者是说不要在乎别人的眼光,不要看到大部分人在做,甚至已经做的很好,就不去做,你想做,是“你”想做,而不是别人,你就去做。就好比小马过河的故事,别的动物淌过,那条河对你没有任何意义,只有你淌过,那条河才会变成你的意义。
今日金句分享:
1)“对于我来说,哪一个选择才是正确的呢?”如果这个问题总是没完没了地折磨你,唯一的解决途径就是转换一下提问方式:“哪一个选择可以给我最大的前进动力呢?”
2)任何事物本身都没有意义,它的意义都是你赋予它的。如果你认为某个计划有价值,那就是追求整个计划的全部意义。
3)无论在什么情况下,你思考的问题都不应该是世界是否需要你的计划,而是你是否应该执行自己的计划,让生活变得更富有情趣,更加快乐。
