死了还要用——孔子

Confucius, a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, has exerted a significant influence on the thought and life of Chinese, whose philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity, which gained prominence in China over other doctrines, such as Taoism or Legalism.

我要一步一步往上爬——马斯洛需求金字塔

In 1954 American psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed that all people are motivated to fulfill a hierarchical pyramid of needs. At the bottom of Maslow’s pyramid are needs essential to survival, such as the needs for food, water, and sleep. The need for safety follows these physiological needs. According to Maslow, higher-level needs become important to us only after our more basic needs are satisfied. These higher needs include the need for love and belongingness, the need for esteem, and the need for self-actualization (in Maslow’s theory, a state in which people realize their greatest potential).

微观问题 —— 名人点点,名句背背

衣:

For example, a well-dressed man seldom spits at random, a woman in glorious dresses is more likely to talk in a gentle tone, and a clean dressed child seems quiet than others. It might be explained that different dresses give people different self-images, and most people subconsciously behave according to their own self-images.

A parvenu on the other hand, will finally find out the fact that his exorbitantly dear dresses is of no use to make him a gentleman, and he even eventually fail to make him look like a gentleman. Maybe those are right who said it takes at least three generations to cultivate a gentleman.

青少年的外表与内心

Already, it can be seen how western movies are exercising influence on our youth generation: they grow long-hair regardless of their sex, commonly part of which are dyed in gold; they wear jeans in each and every season, usually knees of which are deliberately tattered; boys are fond of earrings or other odd pendants; and girls are keen on Marlboros and weird coarse languages.

食:

There is no love sincerer than the love of food. - George Bernard Shaw It’s amazing how pervasive food is. Every second commercial is for food. Every second TV episode takes place around a meal. In the city, you can’t go ten feet

without seeing or smelling a restaurant. There are 20 foot high hamburgers up to billboards. I am acutely aware of food, and its omnipresence is astounding.

Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.

Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.

Food is our common ground, a universal experience. A dinner lubricates business.

You don’t have to cook fancy or complicate masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients.

生活类万金油之 —— 健康啊便利

健康

运动运动

In contemporary society, a multitude of people are increasingly aware of the fundamentality of maintaining health, so as to enjoying better life quality and longevity. In order to possess a healthy body, not only need we keep a nutritious diet and adequate sleep, it is crucial for individuals to form the habit of exercising regularly, as sports and health are intrinsically connected. Doing sports will greatly increase people's metabolism, and strengthen our physique. Sports also help to refresh people's mind from brainwork all day and night, and even more surprisingly, exercising can stimulate people's brains to work more actively and creatively. Overall, sports are not the business of a small group of athletes, but a life-long pursuit that every person should bear in mind and endeavor to put it into practice. Not only do sports benefit individuals, the improvement of the nation's health would be a huge contribution to our country's development.

We might also cite an allegorical story. It is said that an individual’s life is accompanied with five balls, which are lover, family, career, health and friend. Lover, family, career and friends are all rubber balls, consequently, it could bound back when falling to ground. On the contrast, health is the unique glass ball, which is fragile enough to be ruined with a single drop.

The increasingly sedentary lifestyle will engender a higher incidence of ailments. More overweight people means more patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as vein hardening, diabetes and hypertension.

便利(节省时间\时间灵活\交通\休闲\健身\娱乐\吃喝\购物) People are concerned about the efficiency with the accelerating tempo of life. The more the better. The fast the better. In this regard, XX takes the top priority. For instance, whenever people click on a search engine and key in a few words into the search box, they will get huge amounts of information. The amazing thing is, all the searching is done in a few seconds, which spares people a great

deal of time to enjoy the entertainment such as body-building, watching opera or a movie in their leisure time.

其他参考:

Telecommuting can spare workers the everyday chore of traveling back and forth to work.

Global cultural homogeneity has immensely enriched the lives of the denizens in developing countries. For instance, now Holly wood blockbusters typically get their first screening in China within a couple of days after their American premiere, and youths in China can download singles topping billboard charts from the Internet without having to scout around in a CD store. Enhanced TV connectivity affords Chinese viewers chances to see primetime American TV shows. This ease of access to a multitude of foreign amusements has really brightened up the lives of many.

娱乐

旅游

Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.

艺术

Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.

Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.

Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

摄影

Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession by also a contact between people - to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual.

音乐

Music has charms to soothe the savage beasts, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.

音乐的魅力能感化凶残,软化岩石,还能柔化多节的橡树。

My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by when sick and weary.

我无比充实的心灵总是能在它悲伤和疲倦的时候因为音乐而重获快乐和活力。

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people.

Fashion

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

休息☺

Leisure hours are of great importance for people. Living under stress for a long time is harmful to health, causing symptoms such as ulcer and high blood pressure. If a man insisted always on being serious, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it. The secrets of energy lie in the art of having leisure.

动物:

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. - George Eliot

A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things - a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.

☺ If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.

The dog was created especially for children. He is the god of frolic. Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.

God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages.

We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.

Sir Winston Churchill once said, “I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals”.

家庭

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, or call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. - Jane Howard.

It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one! Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

Marriage

A great marriage is not when the “perfect couple” comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

A successful marriage really requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.

Children

I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

A mother only does her children harm if she makes them the only concern of her life.

Friendship makes prosperity more shining and lessens adversity by dividing and sharing it.
