2上帝那里没有现成的果实

三个人千辛万苦找到了上帝,请求他给予帮助。上帝问他们各需要什么。第一个人说他要一座大宅院;第二个人说,他要一个农庄;第三个人说他要一块大金条。上帝说他可以满足他们的需要。于是上帝给了第一个人一堆砖头,给了第二个人一把种子,给了第三个人一把沙子。

No Ready-made Fruit in God’s Hand

Three guys finally got the God through trials and errors. They were eager to ask God for help. Right after the God asked what they want, the first man claim a big courtyard, the second a farmstead, and the third a bar of gold. God promised them. At last, the first man was given a pile of bricks, the second a bag of seed and the third a mass of sand.

3虫子的压力

有这么一种虫子,它的体长还不到一毫米,也许因为在电子显微镜下看起来像一头黑熊,所以人们叫它雄虫。它主要生活在淡水的沉渣,潮湿土壤以及苔藓植物的水膜中。最近日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久发现了一个惊人的现象:当20只小熊虫被放入密封的容器内,在实验室制造的7.5万个大气压下,20只熊虫只有两只死亡,其余的18只安然无恙。7.5万个大气压!它相当于每平方豪米要承受700多千克重物的压力,它足以上淀粉瞬间变性,生米顷刻为熟饭。自然条件下,地球上也只有180千米的地幔深处才拥有如此大的压力。

至今没有人能弄清楚熊虫为何如此能忍。不只是出于对这种超强生命力的尊重还是怀疑,有人叫它地狱之虫。一个长度不超过1毫米的微不足道的虫子,能承受命运给他如此的压力,相比较而言,我们这些自称是高级动物,智慧生命,万物之灵的人呢?在人的现实生活中,有多少小小的心结,小小的压力构成我们所谓的生存压力。在这样的压力下又有多少悲观失落之人将美好的人生称作地狱?现在一比才觉得,其实我们的压力就好比是真空,我饿美女的地狱就是天堂中的天堂。在那一刻,我在心里默默地鞠了一躬,不是为熊虫,而是感谢造物主没有把这样的压力降在人间。

Worm’s Pressure

This is a worm whose body is no less than one millimeter. It is called 熊虫(XC) perhaps for the reason that it looks like a black bear under the microscop. The XC usually habited in the slurry of fresh water, wet soil and the 水膜of moss plants. Recently, there was an amazing news discovered by 日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久: when 20 little XC were placed in a sealed container under the 7.5 万个大气压making in experiment condition, there were only two died and the other 18 have no trouble at all. 7.5 万个大气压, equal to over 700 kilogram stress per square meter, which is powerful enough to它足以上淀粉瞬间变性and the rice ready to eat. In natural condition, this pressure can only be found in the 地幔beneath the earth 180 kilogram.

Till now, nobody have an idea about the tolerance of XC. Someone also call it worm of hell out of admiration or suspicion. A worm, with its length less than one

millimeter, is able to bear so heavy stress. Comparatively, we human beings, the so-called advanced animal, wisdom and genius of all, can do that? In our real lives, so much little minds, little stress has made up our living stress. How many pessimistic and disappointed people compare the beautiful life to the miserable hell under this pressure? By comparing, I suddenly realized that our stress is just like the vacuum and the hell is the heaven in heaven. At that moment, I made a bow in my mind. Not for XC, but for the freedom of this stress in the world made by the creator.

9.豪华大厦意味着衰落

珀金森的“办公大楼法则”是:某个组织的办公大楼设计得越完美,装饰得越豪华,该组织离解题的时间越进。

他发现,有许多生意兴隆的公司影响巨大的组织都设在不起眼的地方,住在简陋的房屋里,一旦搬进豪华的大厦,便转到衰退的轨道。例如,圣彼得教堂、罗马教堂、梵蒂冈教堂等宗教组织,就是在极盛时期开始修建这些教堂,宗教组织的实力就开始走下坡路了。国际联盟大厦、凡尔赛宫、白金汉宫、英国殖民部办工大楼等政治组织的大楼,都是在落成典礼之后,组织权势便发生大幅度的下降,甚至带来了厄运。

如果珀金森了叫中国历史,肯能会找到更多的例证,比如阿房宫,秦始皇陵等。为什么这些以豪华著称的建筑物,都成了这些组织的“令莫”了?

珀金森以科学的态度进行如下推测:一个组织在兴旺发达之时。往往紧张而忙碌,没有时间和精力去设计和修建琼楼玉宇,当所有的重要工作都已经完成,想到要修建与其成就相称的大楼时,其时间和精力遍集中到表面功夫上,当某个组织的大楼设计和建造趋向完美之际,她的存在就开始失去意义。完美我的楼堂意味着这定局,而定居意味着终结。摘自《方圆法制》

The Meaning of Wane on the Skyscraper

珀金森’s rule of business office is : the more perfect designed and more luxury the decoration cornament is, the nearer to its deadline.

He found out that many profitable business companies were all placed at some not so eye-catching locations and in the shady houses. Ever since moved into luxury mansions, these companies may led to its last day/wither away. For example, religious institutions such as 圣彼得教堂、罗马教堂、梵蒂冈教堂, were built from the park of power, and at the exact time, their religious power become weak and even bad fortunes by them.

If 珀金森know Chinese history, then he may find more proofs like 阿房宫,秦始皇陵. I am wondering that why those architecture well-know as luxury al because the “tomb” of their bodies?

With scientific spirit, 珀金森showed us his inference: when an institution is prosperous than never, it was too busy to design and build mansion with enough time and energy, while all key work done and considering to build a large building comparable to its achievements, its time and energy were concentrated on those superficial stuffs. When the design and building work of a constitution was about to complete, it has began to lose its meaning. 完美我的楼堂意味着这定局,而定居意
