美文听写:不要,再这么独自等待生活(上)
To sum up my credo in a sentence: The farther away I get from myself,the nearer I get to God. Most of my troubles came when I was obsessed with my own petty concerns and trivial details. I respect the hermit but admire the crusader—his life takes more of courage. I sympathize with the introvert as I would with the sickly,but both are missing a lot of life. As a Catholic,I am touched by Assisi and his animals,but Loyola and his army fascinate me. No man ever got as much out of life as G. K. Chesterton,and he remarked, "Here dies another day during which I have had eyes,ears,hands,and the great world around me. And with tomorrow begins another.Why am I allowed two?" Today's young people live years in what used to be days. I might be a good example. I've been married six years,have two children,a home,and have been recently honored by my college,the Jewish community,and the Chamber of Commerce. I direct the region of a famous human-relations agency. I've had much sickness,been in a war,worked at a newspaper,traveled all over America and half the world,graduated from college,ran my own ad business,worked three years as an executive for General Electric,lost two brothers in a family,and spent a year in a tuberculosis sanatorium.
