年齡的顔色

When we were children, everything we saw was new, wonderful, exciting, and unbelievable. We were happy if it was raining or snowing, if it was hot or cold, if it was night or day. We just wanted to discover all the things that were around us.For us the only big difference was that we were awake or asleep. When we were awake, we wanted to extend the time just for playing with our friends or being with our pet a little more time.But we can’t stop time. Children grow and we become adults; and as adults, we no longer have enough time for little things—discovering a rainbow is not surprising, seeing a building with 50 floors is not amazing, and looking at a giraffe in the zoo is normal. A rainy day is bad day because the traffic will be slow, and the first day of spring make us think about allergies.The first day of the month is not the beginning of new month; it’s the time to think about bills. Going to the supermarket is an obligation; it is not just for the pleasure of walking down the aisles and looking for things and seeing the people around us.Life is a process in which everyone has many obligations, but if everyone tried to see life through the eyes of a child, I am sure that everyday could be better.

小李同一位朋友散步。這位朋友是他們小時候那幫玩伴中被公認為最笨的一位，現在卻成了某鄉鎮企業的一把手。

當他們走到一個岔路口時，從另一方向緩緩走來一個盲人。盲人用竹竿點點探探，走得極緩慢。盲人走向了他們也要去的那一條路。

小李與朋友邊走邊聊。小李談起自己兩年內五次跳槽，直到現在還在困境中掙扎的經歷，朋友點頭微笑不止，卻又始終沉默不語。過了一會兒，小李偶然回首，忽然不見盲人。

“那個盲人呢？”他不禁脫口問。

“他已經走過去老遠了！”朋友微笑著說。

“一個盲人，怎麽可能走得比我們快這麽多？奇怪！“小李驚歎道。

“怎麽不可能？我們東瞧瞧，西望望，三心二意地散步，而他卻是一門心思在走路……”朋友說。

聽這這句話，小李的心猛地被震了一下：多麽簡單而又深刻的道理啊！試想，如果自己以前稍微學一下盲人一門心思走路的精神，又何至落得今日這般潦倒呢？而這位朋友所以還有點成績，也許正是因為他像盲人一樣一心一意呢。
