However,whether you like the mobile phone or not,it has alresdy affected our lives and played an important role in the history of human beings.
The spring outside,however,is much too cheap,for the sun shines on everything,and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house.Outside the sun-sloshed breeze blows everywhere,but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house.
If you could choose what kind of world to live in,what kind of world would you choose?
The world you see and live in is the world you most sincerely expect to see.
The universe is filled with endless possibilities,and those possibilities keep growing with every minute.The way you live determines which of those possibilities will come into your life.
With your thoughts,your actions,your values,your dreams and expectations,you choose what kind of world you live in.
The way you live is closely mirrored in the world you see.
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live.Sometimes it was as long as a year,sometimes as short as 24 hours.But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours.I speak,of course,of free men who have a choice,not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow.Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life.We should live each day with gentleness,vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come.There are those,of course,who would adopt the Epicurean motto of“Eat,drink,and be merry”.But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune,but almost always his sense of values is changed.He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values.It has often been noted that those who live,or have lived,in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps;for there is a companionship of books as well as of men;and one should always live in the best company,whether it be of books or of men.
