when you wish upon a star

when you wish upon a star
星星祝福歌

when you wish upon a star,
makes no difference who you are,
anything your heart desires,
will come to you,

if your heart is in your dream,
no request is too extreme,
when you wish upon star,
as dreamers do.

fate is kind,
she brings to those who love,
the sweet fulfillment
of their secret longing.
like a bolt out of the blue,
fate steps in and sees you through,
when you wish upon a star,
your dream comes true.

还 记得pinocchio吗?没错,就是匹诺曹,他也是我童年的伙伴。《木偶奇遇记》的故事是讲,一个木匠用一段木头削制了一个木偶,并给他取名匹诺曹,然 后仙女给匹诺曹以生命,并告诉他:‘除非他能获得勇气,无私和真理,否则不可能成为一个真正的男孩子’。为了帮助他,仙女让蟋蟀吉米尼来作他的朋友(吉米 尼实际上是他的“良知”)。头脑简单而又任性贪玩的匹诺曹经历了种种奇遇,又受到邪恶的狐狸和猫的欺骗和教唆,做过一些错事,但最终在蟋蟀吉米尼的帮助下 改正了缺点,变成了真实的男孩,回到了木匠爸爸的身边。
<星星祝福歌>是蟋蟀吉米尼唱的一首歌,他告诉匹诺曹,当你对星星说心愿,你就变成一个真实的男孩子。

Company PolicyDress Code

Dress Code
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary.
If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.
If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.
If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and
therefore you do not need a raise.


Sick Days
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.


Personal Days
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.


Bereavement Leave
This is no excuse for missing work.
There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers.
Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the
arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary,
the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon.
We will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and
subsequently leave one hour early.


Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls.
At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken.
After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders category".
Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the
company's mental health policy.


Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy.
Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure.
Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.


Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience.

Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints,
frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere .

A Man Reaps What He Sows(Galatians 6-7)

The one who sows to please his sinful nature,from that nature will reap destruction;
the one who sows to please the spirit,from the spirit will eternal life.
顺着情欲撒种的,必从情欲收败坏;顺着圣灵撒种的,必从圣灵收永生。

To XiangYu

突然想到我们当年初中时候,晚上12点还不回家,坐在家属院的路岩石上,好像那时候咱俩都不喜欢打牌,所以也不会去和他们在一起。
然后两个人天南海北地狂侃,我现在还记得我问过你的那两个问题。

我说:“你喜欢很聪明但很痛苦还是很傻但很快乐地过一辈子?”

你说:“很傻,很快乐地过一辈子。”

然后遭到我的嘲笑,当时我说我会选择聪明,我不怕痛苦。

我又问:“你觉得和很强壮很厉害的哥哥在一起感到安全还是和很经验丰富很智慧的爷爷在一起感到安全?”

“和爷爷在一起。”,你说,

我说:“我也是!”。

ps:昨天做梦,我又梦见自己可以飞了,在梦中飞还是在小学才会碰见的事,以后就再没梦到过。感觉真的太爽了,似乎飞的时候还要很用力,而且你们都抓不住我,不过我想飞的时候需要用力,那时你们差点把我抓住。

两首短诗

杆杖

把杆杖插在土里,
希望它开出红花;
把石子丢进水里,
希望它长出尾巴;
把白纸压在枕下,
让梦绘出童话;
把邮票贴在心口,
寄给远方的她……

这是贾平凹在一次聚会时受众人之邀即兴写的一首诗,杆杖是西北的叫法,就是木棍。“希望”纯粹以童心童趣写出,很一尘不染,很有节奏感。



村庄

村庄里住着
母亲和孩子
儿子静静地长大
母亲静静地注视

芦花从中
村庄是一只白色的船
我妹妹叫芦花
我妹妹很美丽

这是海子写的一首叫村庄的短诗,“儿子静静地长大,母亲静静地注视”朴素的描写,却写出民间最美丽,最震撼人心的一幕。“芦花”象征少女,一位不久以后同样静静地注视儿子的母亲。
