虽说无一物,尘埃处处盖。未经勤拂拭,何知镜非台?

下雨了。好喜欢雨。越是下得大,越是打雷闪电,越是刮风,就越喜欢,只要我在屋内。可能因为外面的暴风,更突显房子里的安全感。真想去泡一壶茶,然后坐在床上,听雨,看雨。可是不能这样做,因为要考试了。

有一句话,"Working hard pays off in future; being lazy pays off now"。想来写这句话的人应该是当笑话来写吧。毕竟还是要努力的。可是如果总是为了明天的舒适而努力,明日复明日,永远都在努力,永远都不知道自己努力为了什么。虽然不能完全不想未来,但时不时,要放下未来,珍惜现在。懒惰不是一种性格,是一种生活方式,是一种人生目标。我的人生目标是在任何时候,都可以懒慵慵地,做自己想做的事。

有一个故事,觉得很有意思。
The Fisherman

One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the hope of catching a fish.

About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman was fishing instead of working hard to make a living for himself and his family.

"You're not going to catch many fish that way," said the businessman, "You should be working harder rather than lying on the beach!"

The fisherman looked up, smiled and replied, "And what will my reward be?"

"Well, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!" was the businessman's answer.

"And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman, still smiling.

The businessman replied, "You will make money and you'll be able to buy a boat, which will then result in larger catches of fish!"

"And then what will my reward be?" asked the fisherman again.

The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with the fisherman's questions. "You can buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to work for you!" he said.

"And then what will my reward be?"

The businessman was getting angry. "Don't you understand? You can build up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world, and let your employees catch fish for you!"

Once again the fisherman asked, "And then what will my reward be?"

The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the fisherman, "Don't you understand that you can become so rich that you will never have to work for your living again! You can spend all the rest of your days sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset. You won't have a care in the world!"

The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, "And what do you think I'm doing right now?"
