predestination

　　many things in this world find neither an answer nor a proper explanation. for example, why should two become a couple among the billions of people on earth? why don't they love each other even though they live together everyday, and yet one of them falls in love with someone else at the first sight? why do the members of a family quarrel daily but still stay unhappily together? why can't they get married in spite of the fact that they are a perfect match to each other? why should one toil so much for the other? why should the love-infatuated always be deserted by the heartless?.....

　　people remain puzzled in spite of their great effort to understand the endless questions, so they invented the all-embracing word---“predestination”. in order to be more precise, different combinations were derived from it: love predestination, sinful predestination, evil predestination, and kind predestination etc., hence we have the sayings like: “predestination will definitely bring you together despite the great distance while without predestination, you'll never know each other even though you are standing fact to face” “a distant couple is tied up with the thread of predestination” and even the phrases and expressions like “the god of marriage”, “predestination without luck”, “luck without predestination”, “coming across each other is a kind of predestination”, “enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road”, “they shall not marry each other unless they are predestined lovers”. if people still can not find answers, they turn to “reincarnation” for help. lin daiyu is always in tears just for repaying for the water jia baoyu had given her when she was a plant in her previous life in a dream of the red mansions .

　　in fact, the so-called “predestination” is often a kind of coincidence or chance encounter, even a kind of accident. if you don't meet this person, you'll surely meet some one else. but people insist on adding some colors of emotions or superstition, thus generating various religious factions, the main theories of which are no more than that of “reincarnation”, “heaven and hell” and “the ever-lasting soul” etc.

　　but does anyone know anything about his previous life or his after life? what could he do even if he knew them? if he can't grasp the present life, what's the benefit of commenting on the visionary after life? giving up today is the same as giving up tomorrow, for they are closely connected. how absurd it is to work like the horse or cattle in the present life in order to be above others in the next life.

　　have you ever seen emperor qinshihuang reincarnate? have you ever heard of emperor wudi of the han dynasty going into another life? where is now monk xuanzang of the tang dynasty (what we know is the big wild goose pagoda)? where is the monkey king (the flower and fruit mountain does exist, though)? and where can we find those great emperors such as yao , shun yu and the influential philosophers like confucius, laozi and zhuangzi?

　　how many heavens do we find? are they also divided into the oriental and the occidental world? is god a chinese or westerner? which is the greatest religion among buddhism, daoism, christianity, catholicity and islamism? all religions advocate doing good deeds and not killing, but why do they keep contending against each other, even fighting and killing among themselves? is the paradise the same one in all religions? there's only one sun in the sky, and there should be only one emperor in a country, but do all religions believe in the same god, or do they have different gods of their own? if all of us expected god's help, wouldn't god be too busy and too tired?

班会演讲稿——心态是人生命运的底牌

　　尊敬的各位领导，老师，同学们：

　　大家好！

　　今天我演讲的题目是《心态》。

　　首先，先请大家听一个故事。

　　弗洛姆是美国一位著名的心理学家。一天，几个学生向他请教：心态会对一个人产生什么样的影响？

　　他微微一笑，什么也不说，就把他们带到一间黑暗的房间里。在他的引导下，学生们很快就穿过了这间伸手不见五指的神秘房间。接着，弗洛姆打开房间里的一盏灯，在这昏黄如烛的灯光下，学生们才看清房间的布置，不禁吓出一身冷汗。原来，这间房子的地面就是一个很深很大的水池，池子里蠕动着各种毒蛇，包括一条大蟒蛇和三条眼镜蛇，有好几条毒蛇正高高昂着头，朝他们吐着舌头。就在这池子的上方，搭着一座很窄的木桥，他们刚才就是从那座木桥上走过来的。

　　弗洛姆看着他们，问：“现在，你们还愿意再次走过这座桥吗？”

　　大家你看看我，我看看你，都不做声。

　　过了片刻，终于有三个学生犹犹豫豫的站了出来。其中一个学生一上去，就异常小心地挪动着双脚，速度比第一次慢了好多倍；另一个学生战战兢兢的站在小木桥上，身子不由自主地颤抖着，才走到一半就挺不住了；第三个学生干脆弯下身来，慢慢地趴在小木桥上爬了过去。

　　“啪”，弗洛姆又打开了房内另外几盏灯，强烈的灯光一下子把整个房间照耀得如同白昼。学生们揉揉眼睛再仔细看，才发现在小木桥的下方装着一道安全网，只是因为网线的颜色极黯淡，他们刚才都没有看出来。弗洛姆大声地问：“你们当中还有谁愿意现在就通过这座小桥？”

　　大家现在都不怕了，几个学生一个接一个走过了木桥。只有一个人不敢走。“怎么回事？”弗洛姆问道。

　　“这张安全网的质量可靠吗”一个学生心有余悸地问。

　　弗洛姆笑了：“我可以解答你们的疑问了，这座桥本来不难走，可是桥下的毒蛇对你们造成了心理威慑，于是，你们就失去了平静的心态，乱了方寸，慌了手脚，表现出各种程度的胆怯，可见心态对行为有着多么重要的影响。”

　　这个故事很好地告诉我们一个道理：心态对一个人具有巨大的影响力。

　　由于心态能左右一个人的一切，所以，无论情况好坏，都要抱着积极的心态，莫让沮丧取代希望。心态是我们命运的控制塔，事实上，它是我们唯一能掌握的东西。只有我们建立起正确、积极的人生观、价值观，以积极、健康、乐观的心态对待生活，才能获得健全而高品质的生活。

　　我们都知道，一个人的心态能影响甚至决定自己的命运。因此，我们应当认认真真走好自己脚下的路。有些同学看问题有些偏激，看到自己某一方面不如别人，就认为自己样样不如别人。一个人做一件事前，总在想我可能要失败，那他真的很容易就失败。一个连自己都不相信的人，怎么让别人相信呢？

　　良好的心态是无价的，如果你能拥有一个良好的心态，你就能获得你想要的一切。因为良好的心态能让你树立起必胜的信念，而信念会是你充满前进的动力。它可以改变你险恶的现状，带来圆满的结果。不要因为我们的心态而使我们自己成为一个失败者。要知道，成功永远属于那些抱有积极心态并付诸于行动的人。如果我们想改变自己的世界，首先就应该改变自己的心态。心态是正确的，我们的世界也会是正确的。保持良好心态者能够坚强，能够宽容，能够锲而不舍，最终会走在时代的前面。一个人若是一生都能持有良好的心态，那么，他人生的路就会越走越宽，生命的景色就会越来越美，生命的价值就会越来越大。

　　所以我想说，专心于路，路就不会多难走；专心于事，事就不会太难做。心态是人生命运的底牌。

　　我的演讲完了，谢谢

Predestination

　　many things in this world find neither an answer nor a proper explanation. for example, why should two become a couple among the billions of people on earth? why don't they love each other even though they live together everyday, and yet one of them falls in love with someone else at the first sight? why do the members of a family quarrel daily but still stay unhappily together? why can't they get married in spite of the fact that they are a perfect match to each other? why should one toil so much for the other? why should the love-infatuated always be deserted by the heartless?.....
