我的灵魂在飞升，和云霞在一起。我的身体在下沉，和大地在一起。

——摘自《追问岁月》March，1999

14. Books And I（书与我）

Without books I bee a baby with lack of food and water. I can’t grow up. Without books my soul is so thin that it almost bees a tree trunk without branches or leaves. It’s terribly ugly to look at. All sorts of worry take roots， grow， spread and bury my body.

没有书我就成了断奶的婴儿长不大。没有书我的灵魂瘦成了没有枝叶的树干真难看！烦恼会因此生根成长蔓延，将我躯体埋葬。

15. Thinking（思考）

Thinking is the sign of being fully developed， the necessary path to success， and the wealth of all your life. Learn without thinking， and you’ll feel lost.Think without learning， and you’ll feel dried up. Any invention and creation are the products of thinking.

If a person is unwilling to use his head， a lot of wisdom is missing. May you make full use of your head and have a beautiful life brought about.

思考是成熟的标志，是成功的必由之路，是一个人一生的财富。学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。任何发明和创造皆是思考的产物。

空有大脑不思考，多少智慧不见了。愿君善待你大脑，将美的生活创造。
